I noticed that I have the media folder in \system, \sdcard0 & \sdcard1 ..

So I copied all the notifications and ringtones from \system and plonked them into both the internal and external storages. Again the same issue persists where after a restart I can see the ringtones

Here's the funnier part, I put it back for charge and voila the charge was back after a few minutes :eek::eek:

:laugh::laugh:
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Hmm... Same here, actually. I hate the default ringtone choices (no offense Bill, assuming you chose them).

The ringtones I brought with me seem to persist always; is this your experience as well? Email the ringtone to yourself, open it with Audacity (or similar), export it to .mp3, and put it in the SD card. Maybe give it a different name. See if you can keep it then.

As for your battery, did you wipe the battery stats in recovery? Wiping that won't hurt anything, just reset your battery stats.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
^^ I copied over mp3 ringtones to the SD and the phone refuses to even show those.

Yes, do a battery stats wipe before every flash :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Well, media is officially borked on all the CM9/CM10 ROMs. I've had disappearing and reappearing playlists on CM9 since I started with Joker's 0.6.1, and many others since, as well as Paranoid 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6, and then the various CM10-based ROMs. Playlists can be saved, but not for long -- they will disappear eventually. And some "Favourites" (UK spelling) playlist keeps coming up, seems to have random songs each time. I usually delete it, but I suspect next time I will keep it there to see if it deletes itself, and if it does not, I'll just make a playlist and see if just that, or both get automatically deleted after a couple days.

Next time I flash a ROM, I'm changing the build.prop to make the default ringtone Pyxis.ogg and the default notification CetiAlpha.ogg. Those are the ones I like, and the default ringtone always seems to be available. All the ringtones are there, but the system seems unable to see them. I suspect build.prop uses a different system to detect them. If the filename is right, it will use it as long as that exact file is present.

Seems to me somebody would be able to hack around these problems. I dunno, make a hack that lets you choose the ringtone, using a file viewer that does it some other way, and ignores .nomedia files, and writes the change directly to build.prop (if that would work). I mean no offense to the devs, I guess it's a low priority, but it seems like playlist support and the shady nature thereof in Android in all ROMs (including stock) has sort of been the elephant in the room for years -- just try searching for it, here or on other Android forums. Apparently playlists made on a computer (.m3u format) work, but if you make it in Android, it's bound to disappear. Anyway, the problems here may be an extension of that. I mean, this ROM -- not the latest nightly, but 3.3.2 -- doesn't even have ROM Toolbox, not 5.0.1.3 (the version with the problem) or later versions that have fixed it, and I don't have the .nomedia files in the various folders, so something is up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...before making a generalized statement like this, understand this:

1) not everyone has your issues...or the issues that others are reporting.

2) not everyone uses the same apps

3) many people think because titanium backup can restore an app to a system, that they SHOULD restore it. This is not always the case, as many times, restored apps cause serious problems if they're not fully compatible. Titanium doesn't check for compatibility. It smashes the app back into your system whether it likes it or not.

4) We do NOT have ICS libs to work with...let alone JB libs, so things are still a WIP.

I know you are upset, but understand this...there are MUCH LARGER things that are borked in parts of CM10, so yes, playlists are pretty low on mine or other devs priority when up until last build, I was having bluetooth issues, softbutton lights(still having) as well as some other small quirks here and there related to data or phone. No offense, but this is a PHONE, so I want the PHONE functions working first. I'm not porting for a music player. Now, that's not to say I think it's unimportant...just a back burner issue right now.

Also understand that this is a port built on top of a CM10 from more than 3 weeks ago. Joker's patching things right now that might fix much of this. Just please be patient.

Are you using TWRP? Could be the issue. I didn't have any .nomedia files or missing ringtones till I decided to test the touch recovery. I noticed it on THIS build last night....hadn't had it happen once with Joker's CWM V3
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Default ringtone choices were made by AOKP.

The .nomedia file that borks stuff is in /Android/data folder I found it last night.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Hey Bill, I'm not upset. I know what I'm getting into installing ROMs. Sorry if I came across that way. Just a little aggravated.

I'm starting full over with CNA 3.3.2 (not the nightly -- maybe I should have downloaded it). Including wiping both internal and external memory. I just have a lot of junk on my SD cards. So I moved their contents off -- I will carefully copy them back. I won't restore from Titanium. I know about some of the issues with blind restoring, and I've got stuff left over from ICS. So I should get the most "pure" experience this way -- no errors will have been carried over from previous ROMs or ICS. It'll take more work, but I think it will be worth it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Even I have a gut feeling that its the restore post flashing that's borking my media stuff! Will jump over to MiUi for a few days to see if the issue remains there as well!

*Sigh* Motorola move your lazy butts and give us official ICS :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
Never mind, I'm an idiot.

I still get the soft reboot when trying to launch music with my BT headset connected... I'll try to get a log cat if I get any time at work today, otherwise I'll pull one at home tonight.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AaronEmoBoi:
Okay music playlists is something that you should not rant about to devs

I have experienced this proplem I think I've come to a conclusion

If you are flashing between roms your playlists will get deleted because cm10 uses a different Storage as primary then the others and most music apps store the playlists on the primary media

So no matter what ROM you go to they will get deleted even if you swap the primary storage back to whichever one had the playlists on it would still not work because the music apps do not have a playlist recover setting so just re build the playlists I mean is it that hard? Thats what I do.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bigstar3:
Anyone else having this issue? Someone PM'ed me and said that installing Beats Audio resolved this for them after flashing it twice. I tried that, didn't work. I've done a few full wipes now, I've even gone back to CM9 and moved forward, none of which have brought life back to my headphone jack.

Here's the weird thing. When I flashed over to Bill's rom from Joker's CM10 originally (when it borked out), I was driving. I had the headphone jack plugged into the car. I unplugged it, flashed the rom and stuff, and plugged it back in... that's when I noticed it was playing through the phone speakers and not the car's. When I plug the headphones in, you can hear the speaker's "pop", so it's getting juice. And like I said previously, if I install Joker's rom and use a 3rd party app to trigger the jack, I can hear static and music, so I definitely think it's the drivers vs. a faulty jack. I'm just not sure what to do.

I know it's not really an important job right now for Bill, he's got a bunch of other stuff going on other than worrying about audio, I'm just looking to see if I'm flying solo here and/or if anyone else knows how to fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It's not that it's not important. Don't get me wrong. I know that it works on AOKP (least it did today while I was using it at work to play music). It might be something with this rom. I am really working to pull all the good framework tweaks from AOKP and put them into this so that we can have more things fixed here. It's a great rom with a few options that AOKP doesn't have. I will also note that it is worth mentioning that I had 60% battery after 13+ hours on the nightly build of this yesterday before I flashed to the latest AOKP nightly. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Holy rusted metal Batman, check out my battery life today

Excellent work th3bill, this ROM is perfect. Keep up the great work

[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
How man? How? :eek::eek:

Are you using the phone ? :D

Mine is reaching about 10% battery life in 8-9 hours with moderate use :(

GPS Off, WiFi most of the time, background data disable, battery calibration done, only 2 apps running in the background apart from the usual Android apps.... !!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
hi bill. thanks for ur rom, but i have trouble with mine, it always show " Unfortunately, Setttings has stopped" when i click setting>>more...>> $G setting...

it also pop up when i dial *#*#4636#*#*

i have tried to re install your CNA, , clear dalvik etc but still happen, weirdly when i try to install nightlie it also happen and similar to CNA 3.3.2

please help, thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Quick give a precise answer on this question. How did you install this? Over another Rom, or fresh with wiping everything? Have you tried clearing davlik/cache, fixing permissions, and rebooting?

The more information the better we can help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
it seem i know the problem was on my cwm recovery that not match to the rom, btw have any suggestion what recovery is best for this rom? thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Yes use jokers recovery 3. http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod10-for-the-photon/

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought v3 was able to be flashed through cwm.

Wait until someone can verify that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Yes, you can flash jokers v3 recovery in recovery!

It is currently recommended that people do NOT use jokers v4 recovery as it doesn't currently flash Gapps and you may face other unknown issues at this time!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I have mine setup for 30 sec screen shutoff and lowest possible brightness, only use gps when needed, no apps like facebook or twitter running and nothing (including email) to poll...EVER!!!...no wifi only 3g and I also dont really run any third party apps...I have posts in this forum showing my battery life

That being said i've experienced 20+ hours on a full nights charge...but with 3.3.2 I get a TON of glitches that really make the phone a pain to use at times (i.e. 90% of games go blank and i have to turn the screen off and back on...I know this is a libs issue but its more frequent with this build...my camera is ****e as well as the gallery and now i'm experiencing the loss of media, ringtones, notification tones, etc.) so i am now going to flash the nightly and see if things run a little smoother...

If not then its off to AOKP as i've heard its smoother than ever now :good:

BTW i'll post my battery stats for both once i get a full charge and a full days use
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Just thought I would pop in and tell you guys how great cna 3.4.0(3.4.1) is! The team added some great new features. Great improvement over 3.2 or 3.3. Hopefully th3bill can get it over quick.

On a side note... I miss my photon :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
If you hurry you can still get the photo and join our club. LOL!! Photon for life or these wondrous developers move on to something newer.

I think I want to follow their work for a long time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
I've been with the photon for almost a year now. I moved on to the galaxy nexus and flashed the kddi radio to the photon for my daughters mother. As much as it pains me I don't think I'll ever return to the photon just because of how fast technology is moving. I'll probably get the photon Q eventually but when I do I'll still be dedicated to CNA :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Way to brag! :p

Th3Bill stays on top of his work! I'm sure he'll have it up soon enough! But I do agree, I keep tabs on the change log for the other devices and actually pulled the MMS app and new CNA Wallpapers app outta the latest build he just posted today! :D

On another note, I made us Photon users a ZipThemer Mod!

I pulled the weather images from AOKP so users on CNA/CM10 (and hopefully CM9) can now replace the basic weather images if you so choose! It should also work with MetaMorph and NinjaMorph but I haven't personally tested it, so if you do and it works, lemme know!

This is NOT a flash able zip!! You MUST use ZipThemer FIRST!! Or try using MetaMorph, etc...

Download Link: AOKP-Weather-Icons.zip

Lemme know what you guys think! If enough people actually use this mod, I'll create a Thread for it (and some other mods I'm working on) to keep up to date with it and so its easy to find!

Reports are great....logcats are better, my friend. I can't log em all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
3.4.1 is being worked on right now.

AOKP Nightlie 8/29 is already up :)

I had left my frankentop (laptop with all my Android work on it) at work yesterday, so I was a bit SOL to get anything done last night, as my upstairs PC wasn't set up for Android, and once I got it set up, Joker's site was down...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
3.4.1 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Does the Soft Key lights work on 3.4.1? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not yet...I'm waiting on Joker to resync CM10, then I have a feeling this will work. There are methods that don't seem to load right in this rom and in MIUI. Paranoid Android became FC city due to this when I tried to go beyone 1.9.5, so I have been waiting a LOOONNGGG time on that update. Once he updates, I'll be re-working all the builds
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Thanks Bill. No further questions at this time. =]
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigstar3:
Thanks, Bill! No problem, man. I'm patiently waiting. I've been on something either you and/or joker have worked on since CM7. I know you all come through. It just freaked me out a little bit when I flashed other ROMs and the headphone audio is still dead (for the most part). Let me know if there's anything you need from my phone to help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
wow new rom psted, im downloading now and i'll try tonight :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Got it loaded! Running awesome so far! Good looking out man, always appreciate! :)

Also, my ZipThemer mod still works! That's why I made it ZT compatible in hopes it would work across ROM updates and different ROMs all together!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm gonna sound dense...what is zipthemer? LoL! Sounds quite interesting :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...no worries! I guess I just assumed people knew! :)

Here is the website where you will find everything you would need to know about ZipThemer and what it does! ZipThemer About Page. You will also find the Manual and info on how to setup ZipThemer on the device!

Here is the link to download and get some info (but not much lol) ZipThemer on Google Play

hi bill... i have instal 3.4.1 , with cwm jokersax v3, i have clean everything before instal , but i still dobt know why USSD command such *#*#4636#*#* resulting "Unfortunately< setting has stopped"

please answer me, i dont know why this happen....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
tried it out.. everythings great and i miss this rom!! but i'm waiting for the torch to start working only thing thats keeping me away :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kZXZ1bmkuZmxhc2hsaWdodCJd

Worked on 3.2.2, I'm sure it would work on 3.4.1 as well! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
tried twice, with FULL WIPE also, but not helping, i ask this yesterday, no one reply,,

maybe not suitable for me, bye JB
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
No need to access that menu that way!

Just go to Settings / Accessibility / Device Information

I think the reason it crashes on this ROM when trying to dial *#*#4636#*#* is because the original developer has made the menu available in the Settings. Just a guess tho :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
finally someone read and reply me,,,,,, ahahahahaha many thanks

btw do ypu encounter same problems too? do this rom need GAPPS installed via CWM? if it necessary, please give me link or suggertion, im tired of looking and try one by one. i have been 3 days re installing rom by rom and im fatique now. thanks bro
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
The gapps are on Jokers website, same place you get the rom from...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You're welcome! Glad I could help!

I does crash Settings when I dial *#*#4636#*#* if that's what you're asking. I'm guessing its because the options is built into Settings, but just a guess.

This rom DOES need Gapps if you wanna use Google Services. You can get them on Joker's website here --> jokers-jellygapps-v3

Like the link says, make sure to download the "v3" version!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
thanks bro, one question again, my gallery wont show anything, any spution? or just because i dont flash suitable gapps? right now im downloading a new gapp from your link u give above, and i'll try soon...

many thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
For the missing music or pix, look in both your storages in the folder /Android/data. There may be a .nomedia file in there. Delete that and reboot. Certain recoveries and ROM managers are inserting this file in error causing loss of media
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Any idea if the disappearing APN issue is resolved yet? I went back to cm9 because it fixed there but really enjoyed the cm10 features want to go back to CNA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
MMS works in all of Bill's ROMs, so you shouldn't have to **** with the APNs
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
just a side note i also found it in my rom toolbox folder and my fancy widgets folder, just a suggestion to look in all, i had to.... thanks again for all your hard work, moving to florida in a couple weeks so when i get settled donation will deff be coming
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
thanks bill, sometime little problem like this spent so much time if we dont know how to fix it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Just a heads up, be easy deleting ALL of the .nomedia files you find. Some of those aren't put there by mistake! Some are put there to hide files that aren't meant to be visible in the Gallery. If you delete those files, you'll end up with a bunch of crap showing in the Gallery.

The main places you wanna look for .nomedia is in the root of your internal and external storage, and other places that wouldn't seem like a logical place to be put. Just thought you guys should know!

I feel like every since I brought this up, people are deleting EVERY .nomedia they can possibly find lol. Not exactly gonna be fun the next time you reboot your device and look in your Gallery and see that every image that exists on internal and external memory now shows up lol. Gotta use common sense people, all I'm saying! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] flame7:
I've got a question.. am I the only one whos soft keys aren't lighting up?

they used to work on 3.3.0 but since then none has worked.. Could it be the gsm fix that is messing up with my softkeys?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
You are not alone! Its actually been a known issue with CNA since the beginning! Currently AOKP and CM10 are the only ROMs with perfectly working soft key lights. BUT, like Th3Bill just mentioned, Joker is putting the final touches on CM10 and then Th3Bill will update all his builds and cross your fingers that the new CM10 will solve a lot of the little minor issues with all of Th3Bill's ports!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
Just installed the latest build of this ROM. I am more and more happy with it. I have found a few minor issues, but I found work-arounds for most of them.

I did have problems with A) battery not lasting very long, and B) phone/battery getting a bit hot sometimes (which was also happening with the CM9 ROM for Photon). I wound up loading the SetCPU app, which (among other things) allows me to change the voltage settings for each CPU speed. I have attached a photo of my current settings. My photon is running much cooler now, and is still very stable.

I had some problems with Zillow, but clearing the data, uninstalling the app and reinstalling it seemed to solve that. Same with Facebook.

As far as what's still broken...

I still have app crashes when I try to use the Quadrant Score app. (when it get to the GPU test) I also still have the same problem as mentioned by others, that video does not display (just black screen) in the Netflix app. In addition, I can't get video to play at all in the Xfinity app. (The app claims there is a problem with the Wifi connection.)

Nightly 8.30 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Done downloaded and installed already. So far everything is good. Had a slight stutter when I swiped between screens. Figure it is the lack of Motorola drivers.

Thanks Th3Bill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Yes I experienced the same with all JB builds...actually the reason I'm back on PA 1.6...

I actually have a question for Th3Bill...as I'm on ICS like I said and I get the multi touch issues but with JB those seem to disappear but are replaced with the stuttering animation...is there anyway to take a look into these files to possibly see what's been effected by the JB upgrade that has solved the touch issue? Just wondering I've been researching myself and running a few tests but this is my only device and I use it for work mostly so kinda hard to leave it borked lol thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
Has anyone else had issues getting 3g data to work. I have been sitting in 1x since I installed the ROM. I am on sprint (Verizon on this ROM) and have tried to search that threads to the answer. That is in advance an sorry if this was mentioned in the past.

sent from my 4.1.1 JB Photon 4G
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
3G is working here. I get my usual .2mbps. With the 1.4 oc kernel this rom flies. The stuttering on scrolling seems to be worse for me than past JB roms. Either way, this is one solid rom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
This specifically is why I had to go back to ICS...its not cool when trying to show off your phone and everything is jumping all over the place while scrolling lol...i've been looking into a fix and it seems that when you cut off ALL animations the effect is minimal but still apparent. I've also tried 16-bit which helped a little but caused more problems so I unchecked it...could this all be related to just the .lib files? and if so could there be a fix by pulling some ICS .libs, as ICS does not have this issue that I have seen? Just figured i'd throw my 2 cents in

Thanks again for all the work that has been done to make our phones one of the best phones on the market...I'm even envied by my best friend who just got an S3 lol :cyclops:

[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Yes I've tried them. I have seen little to no increase in speed or battery life personally. I'm pretty sure it's just the Sprint service here in Wisconsin.
