Score! :)

Checking out the fix now!

Also, been using Nightly 8/30 since this morning (with standard kernel atm) and everything is awesome! I noticed they added in some new features which is much appreciated! The Torch is finally back!! Also, they are 2 totally different options for Power Toggles in the Interface Settings! You got CNA style, and now you got AOKP style! Haven't really dove in too much deeper yet, but those are a few of the things I noticed right off!

**UPDATE**

Soft key Backlight issue is FIXED! Yay lol. Works like a charm man, thanks!

Also, I like your script too btw lol :) Made me laugh for real! I was like, ah sh!t, what the f**k?! Wait a minute... lol ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
On the Infuse, I had a guy who's like 55 have half a panic attack over it...LMAO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...now that is hilarious!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Wanna hear something funnier? Nightly 8.31 is up now. Gonna have to do an update tonight :)

Good new is that I know how to fix the soft lights on all my builds, so it won't be a problem on future builds :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...of course it is! But like you said, now you know about the soft key lights so no more *****ing and moaning about that haha :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
True that....Joker's server's gonna be busy tonight. Got updates of CNA, MIUI, Xenon, Paranoid going up for 3 different devices...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...nice! Well let the servers be busy!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Don't suppose we can get an option to keep the soft lights borked? I used an app to kill them on Gingerblur and I've enjoyed their absence. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
Where exactly is the fix for the soft keys? been looking on jokersax's site but i cant see it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Directly under the download for the current CNA Nightly 8-30

Link: Codename(Android) for the Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Can't wait for the PA UPDATE! absolutely favorite of all the roms thanks for all your awesome work I will have to donate when I get paid on the 15th!
[Motorola Photon 4G] psgarcha92:
Hey Th3bill....

awese work as always....I was afraid even joker had left development grounds related to the photon...but then out of nowhere he updated to 0.2.0....well thank God for joker and thank God for u...

Hey, its that I am using the 1.4 OC kernel on jokersax.com and the problem is stuttering/jittery graphics making stuff bad. Opening gallery was a mess coz of the glitch....its really kinda making it unusable for me at least....don't we have any solution for that? I play mine craft a lot on my phone and ROMs till 3.3.0 never stuttered but in this build MineCraft is unusable.what to do?

Once again, awesome ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Th3Bill, just a heads up, the apns-conf.xml file (located at /system/etc) is missing in Joker's latest CM10 build. I wanted to point it out because it is also missing in your latest Nightly build (8/30) as well.

Without that file, we have no visible APNs. Its an easy fix but figured I'd let you know! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll see what I can do with it. It really helps to have logcats....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nightly 8/31 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You weren't kidding about updating everything tonight! :)

I haven't downloaded any of the new builds yet, about to now, but did you catch my previous post about the apns-conf.xml missing in Jokers latest build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I saw it and fixed it on the uploads for tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
whats the recommendation, fresh install or flash over?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Can be flashed over...should be no problems
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
thanks for the reply, and again thank you for all your hard work and all you do for us at the photon/ electrify community
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I flashed over and experienced the stuttering issue so I did a fresh install and they went away

Awesome job th3bill! I'm running the softkey fix as well as the 1.4 kernel

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You shouldn't have needed to flash the soft key backlight fix on the latest Nightly, its built right in now ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I've noticed though that as I add back apps, I'm getting more stutter as I swipe between screens and pages in the app drawer

sent from my CodeNamed Jellybean MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Every day I use this ROM I love it more and more. Thank you th3 bill and thank you joker for your base. Landscape mirroring works on this build! I have full functionality jelly bean goodness on A almost 2 year old phone!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
I noticed I had to restore default apns to get MMS working
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
Some help please

The comments on this ROM have been so good that I decided to try it. Did factory reset, wiped data, system, cache and Dalvic cache. Loaded the latest version and it sat at the Mortorola logo for two hours (we went out for dinner). Obviously I did something wrong or am not able to follow instructions. I am using CWM recovery, is that an issue? I was able to restore my previous ROM so I'm not dead in the water. Suggestions would be appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Hm that's weird I usually just use bills full wipe zip and then flash and everything works. Just try it again
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
i always flash rom twice, if you haven't done that give it a try
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
What CWM Recovery are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] evillase:
I had something similar happen to me when i first flashed this rom (3.3.0), use jokers recovery instead of cwm. version 3 as version 4 doesn't flash the gapps.

Also, I get some stuttering when swiping between screens and scrolling. I did a full wipe before install.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Jokers recovery is technically CWM. Saying "cwm" is somewhat of a broad statement and may not necessarily mean he is using the Recovery from ROM Manager.

Bottom line is this tho, unless you're using Joker's CWM-based Recovery 5.5.0.4 (v3) chances are good you're going to run into issues when flashing ICS/JB ROMs. Some people have mentioned being successful with TWRP, and some people not so much
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
This is the only thing that keeps me at ICS...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've had twrp work pretty well....I will say this....I never had any of the .nomedia files start showing up until I began using it. I have a feeling I'm going back to Joker's V3 now that I have Aroma working and can implement that in the other roms...currently I only have it in MIUI, but will be releasing new versions of my builds in Aroma today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Some people, including yourself, have had good experiences using TWRP. Its a good option and it has a lot of features and its fairly easy to use. Its just, me personally, I've never had any issues using Joker's v3 and it has always been reliable as far as the backup/restore process goes and I've just never seen the need to change it I guess lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I agree with jleeblanch. I use jokers v3 and everything works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I've been using TWRP for a while and really haven't had any problems. I haven't seen any .nomedia files and everything is running smoothly. The stuttering is not too bad and a reboot, which only takes like 30 sec, usually fixes it

[Motorola Photon 4G] dschoms:
CMW and CNA

Thanks to all who replied to my dilemma regarding my issues with trying to load CNA. I was using CMW 5.0.2.8 and it obviously didn't work. I've downloaded Jokers v3 and will try again later. Just a quick question so I don't FUBAR my phone: since v3 is a zip file, I need to use recovery to install recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
+1 on the stuttering between screens. Especially when open gallery. I also whipped and flashed twice.

Still loving it though!

sent from my 4.1.1 JB Photon 4G
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This is lib related. Latest Google source made that show up worse
[Motorola Photon 4G] fsmith3x:
I don't know if this helps, but I notice the scroll shudder is worse when the CPU is set to 1200 or 1300. It seems to get better when I under clock I little.

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kashis32:
I have searched jokers page for the soft key fix to no avail. Can someone please post a link or pm me. Thanks in advance:):beer:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You can't find it anymore because the Soft Key Backlight issue has been fixed and applied to the latest builds :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kashis32:
It sure has. Awesome job Bill. And thanks for all the help guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
HERE We GO!

CNA Nightly 9/2 is UP on Jokersax.com

Built into Aroma Installer

Has options for Kernel, storage, and build.prop

I've noticed now when I have chosen SD Primary that it's less herky-jerky

CHEERS! :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I can say with 100% certainty that, at least for me, TWRP did not cause the .nomedia bug. Since the ROM Toolbox dev copped to causing it, and CNA had that app, seems to me there's our sole culprit. Am I wrong? I mean, I got the bug and v3 was my recovery at the time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Seems like you added a quick search box apk that would take place of the Google now search bar and opening when you press the search button .. deleting the apk fixes this though
[Motorola Photon 4G] Achilles1987:
I am getting scroll shudder even after setting CPU to 1000 on latest nightly..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, I hope everyone is having a nice short time with Nightly 9.2 ...because nightly 9.3 is now out. I'm re-doing the Aroma setup....Gapps will be included as an option. I will make alternate launchers available, file managers, music players for now....more options will come as I find more.

I NEED TWEAKS GUYS!!! GET ME SOME AND I WILL ADD THEM!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Are you posting it on the site later?

You can add the mega bass mod if you can make sure it doesn't bork Google now
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I really can't spend all day testing stuff....if you want to give the mod a test and let me know, I'll add it in the next version. I have added something not previously listed that may or may not work well....I'm hoping for a big YES on it...I'm testing that in a min once I repack the zip. Wife giving me the stink eye so I gotta jump off here soon

I will be posting very soon if all works well :) Be aware this will be a much larger file
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
i tested it before and it for some reason made google now force close.. i'll take a look at whats actually being added and report back. lol haha can't wait to try it out myself but don't get yourself in trouble with the wife for us! we always gonna be here lol

No rush and thats fine i always download over wifi :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I will look around and see what I can find for tweaks for the future ;) I've got some ideas but its really only good on AOKP as the option is already available on CNA (the center clock option which is a somewhat easy framework edit). But for CNA, the AOKP weather icons would be a good one, just don't know how you'd add it in as an option. Would probably have to do up a second framework-res.apk I would assume but then it wouldn't be any good from one build to the next where as the ZipThemer method is. The ZipThemer method is also good for CM10 and even CM9. I'd image it would even work on Xenon (assuming it doesn't already have them).

Anyway, so I guess I'll skip Nightly 9/2 and just wait for 9/3 if you're already working on it lol. Thanks tho man, the hard work is always much appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
9/3 Aroma is up on Jokersax.com

has extra options :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Sweet! Thanks!! Downloading now!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Loving the new 9/3 nightly, working great on AT&T. There were some weird issues with the Aroma installer but it worked out. So far my favorite new addition is the quick sms reply in the notification drawer! Keep up the great work!

PS The rom didn't have root when I booted up.Not sure if it was something I did or not just wanted to make a mention.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bryandrummer:
There was a thread with prop edits that extend the battery life. In my experience it has worked. Not sure if those were the build.prop options you were talking about but it would a cool option to have
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Not really sure I understand the whole Aroma installer thing. Seems to take a simple process and add more steps (or more questions I need to know the answer to). What am I missing?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Nothing. Just adds a GUI to the installation process. Mostly unnecessary for the most part but can be used to include options while installing instead of flashing multiple zips.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Those are the tweaks :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It allows people who don't want what music player I want to install to install THEIR choice instead. I can put multiple options so that rather than having someone have to flash multiple roms or delete apks after (lets face it...many people are NOT able to do this without borking their installed system). It allows for a custom system with me only making one rom instead of making 100 flash zips for every stupid little option, kernel or tweak that someone wants.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Aroma Installer is DEFINITELY better option and the way to go! That is one thing I've really appreciated about your (Th3Bill's) roms. Aroma gives the user the options during the install process, rather than like mentioned, having to flash multiple files after the fact.

On a side note, I think SU is borked in the latest Nighly (9/3). First thing I noticed is that it still has the traditional Superuser.apk. I tried updating the SU Binary (because Superuser reported it was a legacy version) but it wasn't able to gain Root access.

Now, I know you've switched over to using SuperSU so I tried starting over and swapping out the Superuser.apk for the SuperSU.apk from the previous Nightly but after it was all loaded up, SuperSU also said the SU Binary was outdated and it also FAILED at attempting to update it. Other app's like Titanium Backup are also not able to gain root access.

So, I guess the conclusion is that SU is borked in this particular Nightly (9/3)? Not sure exactly what's different or if there is anything else, or more info I can give you to get to the bottom of this. Just lemme know. I made a Nandroid backup so if there is anything you want me to try or do, I easily can.

Anyone else, currently on the latest Nightly (9/3), confirm this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The Superuser.apk in this build is SuperSU.apk renamed by the dev of CNA. I actually was really thrown off by this the first time after he did this update, but SU works on my phone...I just know that the xbin doesn't install...I think that might be due to not having the su xbin get symlinked to su bin
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I remember you saying that the Dev renamed it previously and that it threw you off, it would throw anyone off lol.

But, anyway, I'll try starting over from scratch. I did look in the zip tho and compared the newest Nightly with the previous and it shows the SuperSU icon on the previous nightly, but it shows the traditional Superuser.apk icon on the newest nightly... That's why I had tried swapping the apk's in the first place. Also, in my first attempt, it had the traditional Superuser application. I got a screen shot of it that shows it failing to gain root when trying to update the binary...

Like I said tho, imma try starting over from scratch and see what happens...
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Root is broken. I flashed over a complete wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just saw that. I'm going to revert to the apk and xbin from previous release. That still had root access properly...not sure what happened here...this is kinda the case with nightlys thought...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Is there anything we can do to just regain it from where we are? Moving a file over or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's gonna be tough. I can try to make a flash zip, but it's hit or miss with this, as I've had it work with some and fail with others :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Whatever we can do. Just let us know. I roll be up for at least a few more hours... I will test off and on things. Even if there is an idea if moving some things around. I'm game.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I know how I can do it. I'll make a flash zip. I just realized that I also put the wrong usb.apk into the build, so it won't properly link to PC. I will up a fix for those of you who don't want to re-download once I verify that it's working.

I am working on some Xtra things that might be pretty neat if they work out, so I may have more in the reup tonight :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
It isn't the easiest fix but I took the Root fix from Jokers CM10 page on Jokersax.com and flashed it. That did get the su binary but the superuser app would crash. I then pulled the superuser apk from the other CNA nightly and moved it to the system/app folder with TWRP file manager. I have root and seems to work ok. Most apps don't remember that I gave permission before but I don't mind clicking a few extra times. lol!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ok, I'm glad we are all on the same page because I reflashed the rom and still had the exact same issue. I was hoping someone else would confirm this either way.

I just thought it was odd. I NEVER have issues unless it was something I myself did or didn't do! I thought maybe I did do something wrong after you said root was working fine lol. But, I had flashed again, made sure my "a$$ was shiny" (lulz) and then after setting up Google Account, I ran into the exact same issue as before! I was like, twice in a row? Something is definitely NOT right! I was literally pulling the su binary files from the previous nightly and SuperSU.apk and putting them into the latest and then was gonna go from there lol. Crazy, I know but I would've made it work one way or another ha.

Anyway, now that some light has been shed here, we are gonna get some more options?!! Nice ;)

Thanks for looking into it man, I appreciate it!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Th3bill is the man. Not that I don't mind downloading, but if so all your additions will be amazing.

can't wait
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Nothing in my gallery is showing up
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Corrected version is up.

Fixed SuperSU

Fixed USB

Added in a couple of things

Google Play Music now Optional instead of being always installed with Gapps :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The newest option is very smooth...VERY :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ugghh...!!! I have to re-upload again...

I accidentally put the wrong edits for vold.fstab in the rom, so I will have to reupload it so that it has the correct ones in it. For now, it's only going to do one config no matter which you pick... :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
So I should hold up on the recent upload of CNA 9/3 B. Darn... I will wait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
5 minutes and it'll be up. I realized it when I was working on porting it to the Atrix and saw that I had the same storage in there twice...LMAO!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
lol i was wondering why i still had to do the edit to switch it over even though i selected SD card to be primary
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
thank you so much for your work man! Will try the newest version soon!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's up :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Downloading right now....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Nice! Thanks a lot man! :)

I'm testing an AOKP Mod first and then I'll be downloading ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
Will give it a go right now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I think I know why you were running into issues with SU this time. According to the "Running Change log" on the Nightly builds, the CNA Dev actually switched back to the other Superuser.apk (not SuperSU) for this most recent Nightly lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMFAO! I actually like SuperSU now, so I am going to stick with it for a while, I think :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I know, silly right?! Lol. Go figure! I hear you tho, I've gotten used to SuperSU now and kinda like it better! I'd stick with it too ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
Does anyone have issues with the phone running incredibly hot ? I tried to disable HW overlays which tends to help , but after every reboot it resets . I do have CPU master installed and run under power save mode , but have never had issues . The phone is running incredibly hot though to the point where I feel like I need to turn it off cause I think things are getting fried .
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
for some reason its not installing... after i choose all the options it shows the blank screen on the screen before it asks me to reboot.and i'm still on 9/2

had to take the picture with my webcam sorry lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm still working on getting Aroma to work with the JB update-binary. At the moment, it gives me some really strange errors where there are no syntax issues, so I am at a bit of an impasse until I can figure it out. Doesn't help that the latest build of Aroma was released pretty much the day JB source came available, so I am sure he wasn't fully prepped for it :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Degard question, didn't know it was a .zip file. Thanks! :)

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Do we need to flash GApps or are they included?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Need to flash gapps :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Thanks again Th3Bill. You are a God to me. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Is it actually updated or just a name change??
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Computer won't recognize my phone after flash. And I flashed the USB fix, can't transfer files and music to my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just fix for the name :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Was the fix supposed to enable transfers between computer and the Photon through USB? Cause I can't even get into ADB. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
as bill has stated jb still very beta but for now untill kinks are worked out i use airdroid from play store its free and u can transfer files over wifi to and from phone, been working for me, give it a shot, hope this helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Thanks popeye321. I am back on CM9 for now anyways until this one is fixed up. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
np, its a way cool app anyways, file transfers seem faster to me using it
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
But I will definitely look up the app since my USB is only 1.1 lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
when you say you can't get into ADB, couple of questions:

1) Are you trying via USB or wifi?

2) Are you using win or linux?

3) What are you trying to do in ADB?

I ask because using USB on linux, I've been able to logcat every build I've posted on here....even without the usb fix. adb isn't determined by that. USB.apk only determines file transfer betweek PC and Phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMAO! That definitely will reduce data transfer speed :D
