Yeah, just taking one or two pictures is fine. It wasn't until I took over a dozen that it started to act up.

Also there's a bunch of 4G stuff in the ROM. 4G settings, a 4G toggle widget, and a 4G toggle for the status bar. I know Electrify never had it, but Photon doesn't either post-unlock, so it's useless for us all (accessing any of it results in FCs).

As for the other part, I'm a huge proponent of kids+technology. I try to get kids playing Rockband whenever I can. Think about it: Rockband drumming is a video game where you beat the crap out of your controller with wooden sticks to the beat of some pretty cool songs. Every kid's dream. And the fake guitars are neat. And every little girl and many boys love to sing. You also have hand-eye coordination and music appreciation there. Programming's not so accessible, or whatever all it entails that you do in porting those ROMs (I don't want to belittle it, but also don't want to mislabel). I would think it too technical for most kids, but there are some child/teen developers out there. It's interesting because it's allowing children to contribute to society in ways that were impossible before and it doesn't break the "child labor" taboo. Anyway, I say if a kid shows an interest in something. I showed interest in video game design when I was 10 or 11. My father told me I had to have an idea first. He had these rolls of graph paper, never ending, 12 inches or so wide, must have been a couple hundred feet long. I used these graph scrolls to actually design a platforming game, kind of like a sci-fi Super Mario Bros. He then loaned me his C++ book. I actually started to read it, but lost interest, and that was the end of that. Kinda wish I still had those scrolls, seems like it wouldn't be *too* hard to make them into an Android game using an existing engine. But back in 1990 or 1991, I was looking at developing the whole thing from scratch. Music/fx, artwork, engine, etc.

Finally got the CNA update loaded and running :D

You weren't kidding when you said BIG update compared to the last! I was going to just update to Build 9 of AOKP but after reading thru the change log for CNA 3.3.0, I couldn't resist lol!

So far, everything is running awesome for me! Only thing I've noticed that is a little different than usual, the Gallery ONLY shows the pics/images & previously taken Camera photos from my external SD card. It doesn't show ANYTHING from the Internal storage. Kinda strange but its whatever I guess ha. Just thought I'd mention it.

Beyond that, love all the new options! Thanks for the update despite all the crappy luck you've had recently! Much appreciated! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I actually went completely away from SSD....got a WD Black Scorpico. FLAWLESS! My boot times are almost as fast, and honestly, I don;t notice a difference on anything else so far in terms of speed....looks to be just as fast as the SSD I had. I'm sure when I try to get into source, it'll show to be slower, but honestly, I am not the type of person to stare at the screen while the PC works....LMAO!

I will look into the storage thing. I must say that for being one person the dev that does the main CNA roms really does some KILLER work. I've read stuff about him being a Kanger, but honestly, lets be real....99% of the work that gets done gets Kang-ed at one point or another, and since most of the code needs to look the same to get the same feature to work, it'll look Kang-ed either way. One thing I will say so far is this...if he's Kanging any of this,...I don't know where he's getting it, as this rom has features others don't have yet, so LOL to that :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I noticed that....I put it in to just HOPE that maybe we could be lucky...LOL Forgot to take it back out. Good catch :)

My oldest daughter(11) is a pretty quick kid....I'm sure she'll be able to pick up some of it. My 3 year old will probably be writing code by age 11. She's teaching her mom things about her A500 tablet that she didn't know. Only issue at the moment, since she doesn't know how to spell, she can't get things she wants on the Play store (Thank heaven for small favors on that one...could get expensive). I've caught her in the Play store a few times. She knows mommy gets her games in there, but hasn't yet figured out how to get more of them...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
one thing i just noticed is when i do a cache-dalvik wipe i lose my widgets, just wondering if it is just me and any suggestions on how to fix that....thanks in advance for any ans all help
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unfortunately, that's just something that happens....MIUI had a way to back things up that allowed you to restore the widgets and their placements. I haven't seen anything yet implemented in other roms that functions quite like that...
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
ok, no biggie just more or less wanting to know it wasnt me, but i am sure you will find a way
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I've also read that there has been a little controversy around this dude and his ROM! From what I see, if he is completely kang-ing it, he credits every aspect of the ROM and where each feature and what not comes from! It looks like he pulls each part from source, does what needs to be done, and puts it all together seamlessly! Plus, like you said, he's got features in his ROM that others don't have (or have working yet) in their ROMs! Personally, I think the developer has done an amazing job putting it together and getting all the features to play well together!

Also, for the first time EVER in a ROM, there are even the Sprint System Updates where you can update the PRL and Profile! I haven't tried it yet to verify whether it works, but that'll be what's good because we wouldn't have to jump back to stock just to get the latest PRL! Small things, I know lol.

As far as the Camera/Gallery thing I mentioned. I took a few pictures and they save to the internal memory where other previously taken pictures are, but Gallery ONLY shows the pictures taken since being on this ROM, even tho there are other pictures in that same folder lol. Strange.

I think I'm gonna pull the Camera/Gallery from AOKP Build 8/9 and see if that makes a difference. I'll let you know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I agree....people try to act like he's not doing work by pulling code from other builds....they need to get a grip! If anyone really looks at what it takes to actually add features to a rom, it's not just "Oh...pull the apk". It's pull the frameworks, break em down...diff em. Pull the apks, break em down, diff em. Get the proper patch made for the edit you want, add that to your build source and hope it compiles correctly. If not, it's back to the drawing board. To see how many options get added per build of this, it looks like this guy must spend half his waking time just getting this thing to properly compile and build. And then you have to make sure...like you said...that the features play well with the others. I agree it's nice to see the little touches that really add extra to a rom like the Sprint thing. That really surprised me. I haven't tried it either, but it's amazing to even SEE it in there. Jokersax knows this guy, and says he's a good guy, so that's all I needed to hear in my opinion. :)

It's much like porting. I'm sure plenty of people don't respect the work that I do because it's not "in source". Well, I can tell you this...it's not just copying apks and a few framework files. There are edits that need to be done to get it to work right, as it's being pulled from another device entirely. Not to mention, with some builds (like MIUI), the original dev makes the code rather obscured so that it's even harder to try to figure what is going on (I assume this is to reduce kanging, but it sometimes just creates HAVOC for someone in a port...LOL).

I personally think that some people don't like to see a feature that they may have made implemented into something with more features they don't have....but that's the beauty of Android...it's OPEN SOURCE....so if you mod something, you understand that people can pull it, break it down and it can be implemented into other builds. It's also why Android grows at a seemingly exponential rate adding features, etc while I-Dump seems to be stuck with the same basic concept.

Ok...enough of my rant. I'll just leave it that this is THE FIRST rom I have left on my phone for more than a day without feeling like I was missing something by not being on MIUI. LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
My phone has went from 100 to 14% in 2 hours on this rom. The kicker is its a 3500mah battery. The phone has been extremely hot in the process. Is there anyway to remedy this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have given up on the extended batteries. Most of them are almost straight up JUNK. I go with the 1600 mAh by Anker, and yesterday was at 48% after 11 hours when I plugged it in (was hoping MIUI.us JB would drop so I wanted it charged). Yes, it's smaller than the stock battery, but I will say that it's a VERY HIGH quality battery. I've actually found on the Anker ones, I have gotten better battery life than I did when I was using the 3500 one I had by Hyperion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I am tempted to try this again... Hey Th3Bill. I wipe all my partitions in recovery, like ops and preinstall and stuff... Should I not touch them? Or what do you recommend me wiping?

Only the System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache ones? Thanks. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Use his full-wipe zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I will try that. Thank you! =]
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
All you need to wipe is /system, /data, and /cache.

The man himself, Th3Bill has actually made an easier solution that does the exact same thing, just quicker!

http://www.jokersax.com/downloads/?did=76

Download his FULL-WIPE.zip from that link! It wipes everything needed for a fresh install! No more, no less!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I only do /system, /data, and /cache (dalvik is contained in the /cache partition) :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Or you can do this method, which works MUCH faster (literally looks like it does nothing with how fast it goes through, but it wipes em :))
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Maybe thats why some stuff don't work. Can I use twrp recovery on this? =]
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've never tried
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
bill any idea why the led flashlight isn't selectable?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I may need to add in torch.apk to the build. I'll take a look and get back to you

I'll have to look deeper into it....didn't work adding torch.apk...
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Hey Bill, I wonder if my custom launcher might be causing this... I use Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime. =/ About the Voice Search crashing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nope. I have both (Nova it my fav, though I'm liking JB's Trebuchet lately as well)...just tested "Eat me", and it gave me Eat Me Restaurant in Bangkok...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Alright cool just wanted to make sure I didn't do something wrong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lmao nice :cool:

Also confirm it isn't Nova, I got Nova/Nova Prime and Voice Search and Google Now work perfectly for me!

I noticed the flashlight thing as well, its greyed out as an option in Toggles settings... it was also like this on the previous version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Some devices (not Photon) have native Torch (no requirement of a separate apk for it). MIUI rom does this, and it works on Photon. I can TRY to take a look at it, but since the frameworks are going to be VASTLY different at this time (ICS vs JB not to mention CNA vs the radically different MIUI), it might be tough. Once MIUI JB is released by the US crew, I'll try then
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When that popped up, it reminded me of The Hangover 2. "I made love to a man..with boobies" LMFAO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Does it matter if I am connected to Wifi or my 3g in order for it to work, cause like I said before... After a few days, it just started working randomly when I was on CNA 3.1.0.

EDIT: I am gonna try something new, I am gonna flash the rom 2 times, gapps 2 times, and then kddi radio 1 time... reboot and add my account, reboot again into recovery and flash the audio mod. brb with results.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Audio mod? That might be the issue...if it can't initialize the microphone, it'll definitely fc...
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Oh my......... But I still can't do a text search either haha. It was MegaBassBeats port.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Any other mods/apps you're installing or restoring? Something is borking it....but I don;t know what it is...I haven't run into anything like this with any of the JB builds...they've all worked with Voice Search that I have seen...
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Nope, I download all my apps from the market. I do delete some bloat when I use Titanium Backup though. I am gonna try not installing it once and see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
The audio mod is confirmed to screw up Google now!

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Actually torch had worked for me on the previous build even though I had to add the torch apk to get it too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
LOL I do flash my KDDI radio after I flash Gapps... If I flash it once and then wipe all partitions, do I need to keep on flashing it after I install Roms?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Torch works when the APK is added. The issue was that under the section where you can mod the notification area, there is a spot for flashlight, but it is greyed out, because the torch isn't supported natively...it needs an apk. I'm working to figure out how MIUI made it work (as it works in MIUI without an apk)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Not sure I don't mess with my radio lol but I had used the audio mod and it messed up my Google now too

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

No that's what I mean. It was on my notification bar last build until I wiped data trying to fix the gallery and music not showing up problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Ohhhhh snap! does it FC? =]
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would imagine that the audio mod changes the lib setup for the phone, which would make it so that the normal input/output that Now might be expecting would not be init correctly...
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I am in the process of installing this, I am not doing the audio mod... Will report back. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Yuppp
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Does it close without error even on the text search?

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

TWRP confirmed working with CNA install. :)

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Ohhhh yeah, Google Now works. It was the audio mod! thank god! I gotta reinstall cna since i don't got signal, forgot to change the build.prop haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Yeah it does
[Motorola Photon 4G] dre89:
Does anyone have a way to fix media not showing up? The gallery isn't picking up my images and none of the music apps are picking up things either.

Awesome rom though, it's nice having mms back
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I recommend removing the gallery2.apk using titanium backup and replacing it with one from cm9 and getting camera illusion

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

[Motorola Photon 4G] dre89:
I've already installed quickpic so the gallery isn't too much of a problem but I have alot of music on my device so that is a big one, and it's not showing up
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
I use power amp and its working
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Question,

I've looked through the thread Nd didn't see it but is there a particular gapps to use when I flash 3.3.0?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:

[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Go to joker's website and click on CM10 Gapps. It is the latest version which is v3. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Wow. This topic's been busy.

I think I had the missing media bug. I made a playlist this morning, after deleting the stock favorites playlist. Every custom ROM I've used has had it, it's just a bunch of random songs. It's not a smart playlist (I'm using PlayerPro), it's just a playlist named Favorites (or Favourites). Cannot delete it. I mean, I can but it comes back. But it's a pain because when I go to add songs to a playlist, I don't like it in the list because it's confusing. So I delete the favorites playlist, and make my own ("Punk Rock style") and I'm throwing stuff in there. Blink-182, A Day to Remember, Green Day, stuff like that. Not everything, just stuff I want randomly coming up.

Later today, after I got some sleep, I go to my playlists, and it's gone. (The stock Favorites playlist wasn't there, either.) So is all my music. I cleared cache/data on the app (PlayerPro), and rebooted the ROM. One or both made the music come back, but not the playlist. I'd blame JB, but no version of Android has ever had reliable playlists. If you search XDA for playlist, you'll find a ton of questions -- and no answers. It's a big shortcoming of Android, and not only has nobody found (or published/popularized) a solution, but a lot of people don't want to talk about it. It seems like an app could just make playlists in its own format and/or apps could recognize regular .m3u playlists, but for some reason it hasn't happened. Would it require root?

Also, I saw "A500 tablet" (Th3Bill's post) on the last page, I saw that and I still think Amiga 500. Didn't have one of those, but I had an Amiga 1000 (it's actually the platform I was going to develop on, had I stuck with it). Wish I could run some Amiga stuff on my phone. There is an emulator, but it's not working enough to be useful.

//edit: 2.5 hours later, music is all gone again, and I can't choose ringtones either -- they're all gone too. I think it's safe to say this ROM doesn't support media... pretty much of any kind. Or if it does for one person, it can't be depended on to do so for any stable amount of time. So... good battery life for someone who wants to play games, surf the web, and read eBooks... but a no go for anyone with music.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dre89:
I ended up going down to CNA ICS, music is a big part of how I use my device so it's kind of essential and ringtones are a bit important as well, it's the reason I have a 64gb card. Hopefully there's a way to fix it that comes to light. I had the same prob on PA 1.9.5, AKOP, and CM10 so I believe it is a JB issuse.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I didn't have the problem on CM10 or AOKP, but I really didn't push them as much.

Another issue: Titanium sees none of my backups.

I think this ROM has a larger issue with the SD card in general. ES File Explorer can see my stuff, but Android System can't see ringtones. Music, Google Play Music, and PlayerPro can't see music. And now Titanium can't see its backups.

Actually, Titanium can see just one file. "Media Storage 4.1.1-eng.codenameandroid20120817.142242 (PLAYLISTS)". That can't be a coincidence, can it? Yeah, I think my installation is borked.

I'm leaving on a trip in 8 days... I may have to resign to taking Paranoid 1.6, my favorite ICS ROM. Google Now isn't that big a deal but I do like to be running the latest.

64GB card. Wow. That's a lot. I "only" have a 16GB card. Haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
In titanium backup go to menu in preferences. Look for backup location. Select all. Let it search than pick the right one and go from there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Wow, I am not having any of the issues that ya'll are. My media stays put, I don't use play lists so idk, all of my pics are in quickpic, everything is running smoothly. I updated from cm10, made a backup with tb, wiped everything, reinstalled everything with tb and I've been good to go since. I have had an issue with downloading music with an app and them Google Music won't recognize it, but a reboot fixed that.

Sorry to hear you guys are having problems. The only thing I've added is the dark themed app zip and the sprint vm from the epic touch

Awesome rom! Thanks for everything you've made our phones... Everything works besides the obvious (video cam, game touch screen issues) but other than those this is the smoothest and snappiest my phone has ever been :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Anyone having FC's with Whatsapp and GMaps?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I don't use Whatsapp but no force closes with G-Maps here.

To be honest, I have NO force closes on ANYTHING for the first time since using JB based ROMs lol. I'm VERY impressed with this one!

I'm also not experiencing any issues with ringtones/notifications that others are mentioning! Sounds to me like something might have carried over from CM10 or is a result of not wiping before flashing? I dunno.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
I reflashed the ROM and then flashed Joker's Gapps V3 after that the issues have started.

1. Whatsapp FC's out all the time so I stop the service

2. Gmaps refuses to and FC's out. Also gives an error popup, this app needs a working data connection

3. Google Drive Sync error, and get a Runtime exception notification for drive

4. I only have 'girtab' for ring tones and 'proxima' for notification tone. Don't have any other choices to choose from

5. Music Effect > MusicFX also FC's out

What is wrong anyone any idea?

I did a fresh install of 3.3.0 after wiping cache/data/system/dalvik! In comparison 3.1.0 was much more stable :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Could also be the recovery that people are using. I use V3 exclusively. I know there are flashier ones out there now, but V3 has never failed me, so I see no need for upgrade. I also had NONE of the issues with media in the 2 days I was using the build. On MIUI JB now. No issues there either :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Th3Bill, I am on V3 too :)

Any ideas that I could maybe try to fix this?

MiUi JB ... Woooooot.... WoW :D Me waiting :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Stock never failed me. (It failed my wife, it lost her wallpaper. Ha ha.) But I wanted better, so I unlocked and flashed CM9. Then CM9 didn't fail me, but I still installed Paranoid 1.1. ;) (Now I'm trying to find the JB ROM that will best support my phone. I'm hoping it's Paranoid, because I really like that one, though the battery life others have seen in CNA is tempting.)

I'm running "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.04". It's got tiny light blue text, is navigated with the volume controls and selections are made with the power button, and it's got a dim Clockwork Mod icon in the background. Is that older/newer, or better/worse than "V3"? It came with my unlocking package (electrify.zip downloaded at the Team US Cellular site). I know Joker offers two recoveries, but I've never considered using either. For ICS, the one I have has worked well. Could it be partially incapable of handling JB ROMs?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I've been using TWRP for a while with no issues at all

CodeNamed JellyBean MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
TWRP looks really nice. Makes what I'm using look like crap. They don't list the Sunfire/Photon/Electrify in supported or unsupported devices, though. I suppose there's a port kicking around here?

Is there any kind of reference around for what recoveries are available and what they do and don't support? I know there's not even anything like this for ROMs, but it would be helpful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Yea, it's on the stickies at the top of the page. Lokifish Marz keeps it pretty up to date. You should be able to get the goo manager app and install the recovery script from it. That's how I got it to work I think
