Try clocking down to System Settings > Performance > Processor Speed > Maximum CPU Frequency to 1000 MHz if you have not made this change.

Battery life is a bit of a concern for me as well, its hardly lasting about 8-10 hours. Have redone battery calibration, will wait for a few more recharge-discharge cycles to see what this can really do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Use rom toolbox or set cpu and under clock to 1ghz. Also try turning down your briteness. Set email to only sync every 2-4 hours instead of pushing or every 30 min. Sign out of gtalk! Close out of all web pages. Disconnect data when not using the interwebs. I easily get 12 hours with close to 5 hours screentime
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Will this correct this issue so I can transfer files back and forth via USB?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yes...but it will only see the EMMC (internal) memory at this time. Still working on getting both to mount with USB at the moment....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just fixed USB to PC mounting. There is a fix up on Jokersax.com in the CNA for Photon section

Will allow your PC to see BOTH EMMC AND SD CARD when you mount it to PC.

CHEERS!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Thank God! Woohoo!

That was the only reason for me switching back to CM9! :D Time to do a Nandroid and flash this, but I will do that later on this evening. I have been up all night working on my Rom for the Evo Shift 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Hey Th3Bill, quick question for you:

Is this just a CDMA version or is GSM built in? I already flashed the KDDI radio in recovery and I am gonna get this phone on Straight Talk. Thanks again. :D

I updated the 4th post in this thread with CNA Official Wallpapers! :)

As mentioned in that post, all credit goes to the CNA Developer! I'm simply sharing them here for everyone to easily access! I made it nice and easy for everyone to download them either all as one zip or individually!

Enjoy :D

Nightly 9.11 is UP :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
i will try tonight. hope that rom solve the gallry problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not likely, as the issue is the patches that were put on the libs, and will have to at this time be fixed from the CM10 base, which Joker said he will be updating sometime in the next couple days :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
hi bill. is this problem come from cwm 5.5.0.4 ? or i must change it into 5.0.2.7 ?

do u have suggestion?

glad that new upate from joker cme. hope it not come buggy again :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, the buggieness is all Moto fault. We're working to do the best we can :)

I would change to V3 (I'll be honest that I'm not sure which version number that is in CWm, as I've never really looked). His V4 was a bit buggy (which he readily said) even if it was faster. It had issues with Gapps (which is a universal binary), so I assume that is why it was having issues with the touch in Aroma, as the Aroma binary that runs the touch and installer "GUI" is a universal binary.

Reference for ALL current Recovery's for the Photon 4G/Electrify

+++ I've seen A LOT of confusion lately as to what Recovery is what. Here is a breakdown of ALL the current Recovery's available for our device. +++

------------------------------

* Joker's "v3" Recovery = CWM v5.5.0.4 = Currently the most stable Recovery for CM9/CM10 based ROMs. It is recommended that users use v5.5.0.4 ("v3") for all flashing needs on CM9+.

------------------------------

* Joker's "v4" Recovery = CWM 6.0.0.9 = Currently unstable. Needs to be fixed as it doesn't flash Gapps. It is NOT recommended anyone uses this at the moment.

------------------------------

* Romracer's Recovery = v5.0.2.7 = Currently stable. It's ONLY recommended that this recovery be used on Stock based ROMs and CM7 (and CM7 based ROMs)

------------------------------

* ROM Manager Recovery = v5.0.2.8 = Currently stable. This is the official CWM Recovery for the Photon 4G. BUT, like v5.0.2.7, it's ONLY recommended that this recovery be used on Stock based ROMs and CM7 (and CM7 based ROMs)

------------------------------

* TeamWin Recovery Project (aka TWRP2) = v2.2.2.0 (Website) - XDA Thread & (flash able zip) = Currently stable. This is a fully touch based recovery. Its been a hit or miss with users. I suggest this recovery be used at your own risk

------------------------------

I hope this helps users understand the differences between Recovery's and that there will be less confusion as to what recovery is what. :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] scott2020:
This might be the stupidest question of the day, so I apologize, but where is google talk? The other apps I chose during the install are there such as gmail, maps, etc. I chose Gapps, then individually checked the ones I wanted on the next screen. Joker V3 recovery, full wipe, everything else seems great!

[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Don't know if this has been addressed or not, but I'm having issues with ringtone and message tone settings.

I have copied all the message and ring tones from CM9 and pasted them into the appropriate folders in CNA. I see all of them and can assign them however I want. Some of them are listed twice i the menu for whatever reason and I have to be careful which one I choose out of the double listing as one works and one doesn't. What appears to be happening is after a reboot everything defaults back to either system default or the sound menu will say "unkown". When this happens I can see them all, but I have to reset them all to be able to have one I can hear. The default tone is so quiet that you can't hear it unless you are in an area with no background noise.

still frustated because gallery still not working on nightlie 9.12, have tyried to reformatted my ext micro sd, change config when isntal like use emmc or ext sd card as primary, but gallery still not working properly, :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've never said it's fully working. The transitional issues will remain until we are able to get the libs better patched. That takes time or an act of pure pleasant benevolence from Moto by giving us the proper libs to work with....
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
ic, btw bill, can u mention in ur next update which one is working or not working function in ur new rom update ? so we know which rom we have to use or not, by not mentioning which which one is working or not or maybe some minor bug, it will make me or someone is asking too much, maybe if u mention is gallery wiill not woirking, i will not post and asking about gallery because i have know it before

btw, u have great job here, many thanks ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortunately, it's a bug that is in ALL the JB roms. :(

Browser rotation works :D, but Gallery is stupid :(

I look at it like at least I can see the pics and do SOME stuff with em...the browser rotation really pi$$ed me off with ICS....LOL

Question...can you do me a favor and check out some market gallery apps and see if any work better? That way, if it does, I can include them... :D

Also, you can try turning hardware acceleration off on the Gallery...might help some :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
yesterday i have browse and trying for gallery app that maybe be best replacement, but i have'nt find suitable for photon gallery :crying:, btw i'll try find again, hope it could be good add

Many have spoken of "quickpic" as a very good replacement.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Quickpic is actually veryyyy good
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Loving the ROM! For a gallery replacement I'm using Gallery ICS and it works great. No jitters and it looks like the default gallery app. I'm going to check out the one mentioned already but thought I would add my 2 cents.

Thanks guys. I'll get these as options :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nightly 9.18 is UP on Jokersax.com

Aroma-Prep is up also (linked in OP as well). Eliminates the need for report error, show log.

Aroma-prep is NOT necessary once you have flashed any Aroma based ROM I have uploaded after 10pm 9/18.

So, if you flash Nightly 9.18, you can simply reboot to recovery and flash Options Chooser immediately after. NO NEED for report error/show log OR aroma-prep after...

CHEERS!​

[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:

[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Yeah same here. Not sending SMS. Checked apns and their still there. Going back to 3.5 for now...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I've got 9.19 built. I have SMS and MMS fixed in it. Only thing that is rather wonky is that the navbar settings menu isn't showing up unless I make the navbar PERMANENT. I'm going to make it an option when I upload shortly. That being said, I don't want people complaining "I can't get rid of the navbar" if you chose that as an option. The only way to get rid of it is to reflash the rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
What's the Nav bar?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Is that a serious question? LOL

Anyway, in case you really aren't sure... the "Nav Bar" is the Navigation Bar that is typically designed for devices that have NO physical keys. Like for example, our Photon has the 4 buttons below the screen. A lot of newer devices do not have ANY physical buttons and have an "on-screen Navigation Bar" (basically just like tablet devices have).
[Motorola Photon 4G] hoslayer13:
Has anyone had issues with the built-in 2G notification toggle? It broke my data reception. I fixed it by using the full-wipe zip and flashing peetr's sv1-198_6 radio, a GB ROM and then back to CNA 3.5.0
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Yeah wasnt 100% sure on that thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nightly 9.19 is UP.

Interface Settings FC is fixed. SMS and MMS are fixed too

Optional Navbar in the Aroma Installer.

BE AWARE!! If you choose Navbar, it's permanent unless you REFLASH. Don't complain that you can't get rid of it if you choose this option. :)

Options Chooser is updated as well
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
I am currently running CNA nightly 9-12. I have tried installing both the 9-18 and 9-20 nightlys for CNA, but had trouble with both of them. In both cases, I selected "wipe system and cache" during install (I'm installing over a slightly older CNA, so I thought that would be OK). I then selected: CDMA-tweak (this has worded in the past), storage on SD card, the 1.3 kernel, not USSC and no nav bar. In both cases (9-18 and 9-20) the install seemed to run OK. I then rebooted the phone, and it seemed to start booting OK (I saw the boot animation, and then saw the ROM "optimizing" the apps I have loaded), but after the "optimization" process the phone rebooted again and hung.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ashirback:
Feeling dumb...

I feel kinda stupid right now. For some reason I can't get a working version of the Play Store and all of my contacts are gone. I'm d/ling the CM10 gapps file from jokersax.com and hoping that works for me so I can sync my gmail right. Anyone have an idea why it's not working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
(Forgive me if I'm being "slow" here, but) I am also slightly confused by the fact that ever since 9-18 there seem to be 2 ROM links. The first I'm guessing is the main ROM (the nightly), and the 2nd is called "options chooser". Do I need to install the nightly and then install the options chooser before rebooting? I have tried installing just the nightly (see previous post), but ran into boot up problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This one requires full wipe. It had WAAYYY too many changes in the frameworks and how the system sets up. I apologize for not explaining that when I released. I've been running since last night with no issues...

Also, to have gapps, etc, you will need to flash the Options Chooser. I have explained that about 3 pages back where I explained the new file setup. I will update the OP.

Aroma Base= just that...a phone base. Phone with some basic apps. It has no more no less...

Options Chooser=Optional Items for Installation. Has NO PHONE OPERATING SYSTEM IN IT.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Because you wiped system and didn't flash the Options Chooser afterward. If you wipe system, you need to reflash BOTH files, as the Gapps and all the apks that make it work are located in the Options Chooser.
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:

i wiped system and cache from 9/12 to 9/20 and am currently have no issues at all!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
Cool. I'll try that. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] andrewrh3:
Awesome rom overall!!

A few issues/questions...

1. On 9.19, my calls will mute after my phone is on for a bit. Restarting fixes it, but people will call, and I can't hear anything. Likewise, when I dial, I don't hear ringing nor a person/voice, but apparently they hear me. So it seems like incoming voice is somehow muted (even when I call voicemail...the timer for the call is going, but I don't hear a thing)

2. The animations (particularly in the app drawer) lag/stutter when moving panels. Any way to fix?

3. I went to developer options...device information to try and set my phone to only pick up the WCDMA network (by choosing WCDMA only; I also tried preferred). But anytime I exit that screen and go back in, its back to GSM auto. And GSM auto gives me 2g data, while WCDMA is 3g...so i prefer forcing the phone to only pick up the 3g signal

Cheers,

Andrew

[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
CNA Nightly of 9/20 with Options 1c which is right next to it. I used my normal format to install.

EMMC

Jokers 1.3

CDMA Tweak

no ussc

with options being very basic of google stuff and trebuchet.

Everything was working originally.

Weird thing is, I somehow broke my browser. I wiped and cleared data, cache, davlik. I tried wiping everything and reinstalling. My browser would still force close.

So, what do I do. Grab AOKP and slip it on. Everything works again.

I will hold off for a bit on flashing goodness until the next source update from joker.

Good things come to those who wait.... oh and I shall wait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Pull browser from old build and use. It works. New browser has a diff framework requirement our libs aren't ready for as joker hasn't updated in a while. I'm working on source building it :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Hey Bill,

I absolutely love this Rom, it's fricken awesome but I found a way to make it even more so, attached is a Modified JB CNA phone.apk that gets rid of the Phantom Vmail notification.

Download apk

Go to Manage apps and clear the "data" for phone.apk

In a root explorer, rename phone.apk to phone.apk.bak

Find the downloaded modified phone.apk and move to 'system/app'

Long press on the new phone.apk and select Change permissions and match the rest of the apks

Long press on the new phone.apk again and scroll to the bottom of the menu to Change owner, change both to 'Root'

Reboot into recovery and clear cache/dalvik cashe then fix permissions under advanced menu in recovery

Enjoy!! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Weird that you're having "phantom vm's" because I haven't had any since the beginning of the ICS days... but thanks for the apk anyway :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
9.20 is better....I fixed a number of things between the 2 builds...I used it for almost a full day with no issues....use it for calls, etc...

on the WCDMA/GSM thing...did you choose GSM option?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nope...the new browser uses an updated HTML5 that requires natives that we don't have patched into our libs yet....
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Damn you Motorola! Gives us our libs...

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] andrewrh3:
Yes, I chose GSM. I'm in Australia, I think the HSDPA network is GSM? Or maybe not. In the States, I always though CDMA meant no sim card and GSM meant sim card. I have a SIM, so i thought it was GSM. But I guess since I choose WCDMA 2100 for 3g, it is a 3g network? I don't know, now I'm confused.

What do you think I should do?

Cheers,

Andrew

[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
I've had a lot of trouble with this latest build (9.20). I upgraded to 9.20 from 9.12, and I was not able to install with the "wipe cache and delvik" or "wipe cache and system" options. (If I did, the ROM crashed after loading all the apps.) I finally got the ROM to load OK after a full wipe (factory reset), but that meant I had to not only reload all my apps (over 200 of them) but also reconfigure the ROM and apps with my preferred settings/accounts. :( Note that if I tried restoring a backup of my apps with the backup of their settings (data) using MyBackupPro, that seemed to cause problems with the ROM as well.

After getting everything back (more of less) the way I had it, I encountered the following problems with this version of CNA (but not with 9.12):

- Some apps are installed from Google Play, but they still don't show up in the list of installed apps (in system settings). An example of an app that did this was "InoMail".

- Some of the apps that are loaded from Google Play do not properly display their app icon (I see a generic Android icon instead) or their app name in the app drawer. Examples of apps that did this includes: WhitePages, AudioManager, InoMail, FolderOrganizer, Solo, MediaOrganizer. These apps do seem to still work properly though.

- Though I have selected the external memory (mSD card) as the primary storage location of my data, the ROM seems to sometimes get confused and start using internal memory to store my data. Rebooting the phone seems to resolve this.

This is not limited to 9.20. I am running 9.12 and have it, too
[Motorola Photon 4G] hightech316:
What is the difference between CDMA and tweaked CDMA option during aroma install?
