[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...time to set the record straight. Here are the FACTS:

1) "Tommy's" INITIAL ports of AOKP were worked with Spleef...I was helping Spleef edit the frameworks to fix things.

2) After a couple of releases, Tommy wasn't working on the build. Spleef would upload the file, Tommy would update the OP and link Spleef's port. No changes made.

3) Tommy then posted the work (without crediting Spleef) on another site, claiming full credit and accepting donations...L M F A O!

4) Tommy stopped "developing"/"porting" AOKP when Spleef opened his own thread. Why did Spleef do this you ask? Well, I can answer that too. It was because he was tired of having his work re-posted...with NO changes and someone else getting 99% of the credit for it.

Furthermore:

1) I do NOT use ANY of "Tommy's" methods (which are my OLD methods that Spleef and I were using which were PROXIS USER'S methods) for any of my ports. I actually don't have to avoid "trouble lib files" as was the method being used on those builds. I EDIT THE FRAMEWORKS to INCLUDE them.

2) I took over AOKP more than a month after Tommy (and Spleef) stopped and began working on it due to overwhelming demand for more custom roms....not to mention people PMing me asking me to look at it.

And in addition:

1) Reposting someone elses work without their consent is a VIOLATION OF XDA RULES...POINT BLANK...PERIOD! When you violate rules, people call you out on it. The OP specifically asked not to link his FILE...but to link his THREAD. He put in a LOT of work into those gapps, and asked that it not be linked directly. Yes, you put his name in your OP, but no link to THANK him at. Just uncool. As I said in that thread, you could have posted some screenies of the stuff on your phone and posted a link to the thread for the creator to be thanked.

2) Trying to put someone down for "ONLY" doing a mod when you were reposting roms and mods from others and letting people give you credit is just not cool, man. ANYONE who contributes ANYTHING to our phones in my eyes has done something cool and worthy of respect. Too many sit and wait for someone else...takes a LOT to put your work out there for everyone to test and possibly thrash it.

3) Jleeblanch doesn't act like he knows everything, but he certainly does help with a good number of things that make him a valuable member of the Photon community here at XDA. I actually am very thankful to have him on my threads, as his answers often leave me more time to work on the roms I am doing right now.

Ok...now back to work :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
sorry man but i gotta disagree. i started to doing aokp by myself then i needed help from spleef. we worked together on it and i had the thread so of course i would update it. it wasnt only spleefs work.oh and i did give him credit in the thread. i remember talkin to him about it actually. and yeah i stopped working on them after he opened a new thread cause i didnt have time to keep them updated like he did so that was fine. but i was never put in his thread anywhere for helpin with the initial port of it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
can someone reply me?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
@Tommy, I don't claim to be anything I'm not and I surely don't go opening threads with someone else's work! Yes, to do the first Center Clock mod, I followed a couple different tutorials! But isn't that where it starts? And to be really honest with you, decompile the latest AOKP framework-res.apk, and then look at the tutorial I originally followed. You will see that they are worlds apart now and in order to do the latest Center Clock MOD for AOKP, I basically had to take what I learned from that tutorial and figure it out on my own as its not simply editing one .xml file anymore.

For real tho, isn't that where most people start? By reading tutorials others have posted and then learning from it and doing it on their own? Personally, I don't have extensive computer knowledge, but I know a little about a lot of things and am not afraid of a little trial and error.

Furthermore, say that Justin possibly hadn't originally posted the bit about NOT HOT LINKING his work elsewhere, he had DEFINITELY posted it by the time you hot linked his latest work! And you had to scroll right by it to copy the download link! And another thing man, you didn't even give the dude any THANKS yourself! You made NO effort to link to him in ANY kind of way. I'll admit, you didn't exactly try to steal his work per say, but you still violated xda rules man so that's your bad.

You're right about one thing, I haven't created any ROMs of my own...yet! That is not a simple task, and is exactly why there are very few people who are doing it! But I guess you'll be surprised when I release the "CM10 REM!X" I've been working on! ;)

Anyway, I've said my peace and I'm sorry I'm not up to your standards. I don't see you offering any real help anywhere on this forum. I at least try to help others get up and going and/or smooth out what they already have based on my own experiences the best way I know how. I gotta be doing something right when it comes to this flashing game because I rarely experience the issues some face and seem to help others get beyond what issues they do face! Everybody's situation is a little different and its hard to say what one person has done to the next. Nobody HAS ALL the answers, and nobody probably ever will. But that's why this is a community, everyone helps everyone, and together we make it work, and if I can help at least one person out, or one person appreciates something I do, I'm happy!

Alright, moving on. Sorry Th3Bill, I know that was off topic! Now back to CNA talk lol ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
I see, wasn't sure if it was just an extra file included or woven into the rom build. Nevermind.

Joker v3 recovery. Installed CNA 3.4.1 from clean install of CM10.

As far as options go maybe I'm doing something wrong here?

I leave the language at English, theme at Generic, next screen press NEXT, agree with the t&c, NEXT at the changelog, press OK at the error that multilanguage doesn't work so it will go back to English, don't choose any wipe options, I've tried both cdma options (I'm on Sprint), tried both storage options (I assume I need to select one right?), 1.3 kernel (and tried no kernel choices), install GApps (also tried no GApps), then next screen I don't select anything because I already have what I need installed, then the final Install Now button. It runs through install in about 1.5 seconds saying it successfully installed CNA. The last screen is to reboot. After rebooting it goes through the process of optimizing all my apps (because I selected to install GApps?). Then back to the normal launcher screen and check "about phone" is still running CNA 3.4.1 build number is JRO03L.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Try wiping Data on Media Storage. Go to Settings, Apps, All and scroll down till you see it. Then just choose "Clear Data". Afterwards, reboot into Recovery and wipe /cache & /dalvik cache.

Not 100% sure that'll work but if you've taken all the other steps you mentioned, that should do it and your media in Gallery should show. Just give it a few minutes after you boot up again as the Gallery needs to rebuild its cache/data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
Fantastic port for the nightly. Thanks! The only issue I am currently having is with the pop up text messages. When I receive a text I have it set to turn on the screen. When I start responding I will let me type 10 words and will turn the screen black and lock the phone. After I slide unlock it let's me finish the text. It happens every time. Anyone else having this issue?

sent from my 4.1.1 JB Photon 4G
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
hi man, thanks again fpr kind reply, i have tried a minute ago, but nothing happen :( .

i dont know whats wrong, i have clear everything with full_wipe.zip. i have use cwm v3 also, im totally desperate with JB on photon, :rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I haven't set that option to wake the screen, but I'll try it out and see what happens. What I can say is that the "Quick Reply" feature is brand new and probably does have some minor bugs that I would imagine will only get better with time.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Hmm, well I guess I'm not quite sure how to help you then.

You said you did go thru both your internal and external storage and deleting the .nomedia files in the root of them? Or at least making sure there wasn't any there? If so, I'm not sure what else to have you try. Someone else may need to chime in to offer some further advice...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
One thing I did that got it to work was restore one of previous ROMs via nandroid and when it showed up I flashed w.e ROM and its been working since. If that doesn't work or you don't wanna do it you can always use a 3rd party app
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
yes i did, i have delete those 2 nomedia file in internal and external, and im checkin anytime to see if it was shown up again, i have reboot several time, but nothing happen, maybe i'kk try re isntall again my room, huuufhhhhh :rolleyes:

and for someone with quick reply menu, i dont have that problem, mine is fine. but i dont know where the source is
[Motorola Photon 4G] kashis32:
Ok folks lets let it go and move on. Wow.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you search for all the .nomedia files? For some reason, it looks like they show up at random after first flash in a few locations...most notably ANY /Android/data folders. I would recommend doing a full wipe install...
[Motorola Photon 4G] knjng:
yes bill, i have search to all entire my storage with ES file explorer, i found maybe about 4 or 5 nomedia, i have delete them all, but not working either :o

i have reinstalled n fully wipe too, but like before, still facing same problem. :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's really odd...maybe try this...plug the phone into the wall, do the report error, show log, then reboot recovery (all in that specific order), then flash the rom.

You definitely need to pick a kernel, else it doesn't install one...but that won't cause your issue.

Question...when did you download it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would hold off this feature...I've heard it still VERY alpha at this stage, so it may not be 100% functional
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try clearing data on the Gallery now that you no longer have the /nomedia files. Also, it's not just in the root folder....these seem to pop up on some strange folders....
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I have been using this rom for a few days now with little to no issues until this morning. I'm normally connected to Wifi at home and turn off my mobile data via the toggle to save battery. Well today I was going for a ride and needed GPS so I turned it on and activated my mobile data. I waited till I had the "H" by my signal bar and launched Maps. It kept giving me an error that I didn't have data services. I tried the browser and ran into the same issue. I rebooted and that didn't help so I reflashed and did a full wipe. Once it booted I again waited for the "H" and then started the signing in process. It again said I didn't have data service. I went a head and connected to Wifi to get the phone setup but I just thought this was really odd because normally when I loose data the "H" or "3G" disappears. I'm going to see if it is something with my service (AT&T) or the rom by trying out a few others that I know have worked in the past. Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. I love CNA and would like to stick with it.

UPDATE : So far all Jellybean roms that I have tried are doing it. I'm wondering if it maybe the carrier :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
It sounds like a carrier issue just wait it out they might be fixing towers
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Looks like they caught on that I was using a smart phone without the extra data package... Damn... Looks like I need to get a StraightTalk sim card. Jerks... Tooks them a month and a half before this started happening... erg...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Lol that happened to me when I was using the iPhone as a go phone :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigstar3:
Think if I sbf back to stock and jump back to CNA it will restore it? Doesn't seem like everyone has this issue, so maybe I'll get lucky and it'll work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Nope didn't work.

The nightly I'm trying to install is the newest one with a D on the end (9/4 7:20 am).

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Hey Bill, any chance on bundling Titanium? It would make flashing ROMs so much easier, and you could make it an option for Aroma. For those of us who have the paid version (and bought it via the site), it would immediately become the pro version (it detects the license text-file on the SD card). It's apparently available in a bunch of ROMs (though, none I've used) and the developer offers it right here. (That is a direct link to the .apk -- the site gives permission to hotlink to the file.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Def a good idea
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
Wanted to post my battery life. Outstanding!

[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I guess my only suggestion is a port of PA with CNA options lol... The perfect rom:) oh and I got most of the animation studder down to a slight slip by turning off all animation and using GPU for 2D and disabling HW overlay while reducing the processor back to 1ghz... Just thought I'd share :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Another option is to use the Xperia launcher on CNA....smoothest of all the launchers ;)

But those are very good suggestions as well :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Is there gapps for CNA?

Fresh install? Wipe-All.zip then flash aroma?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Don't wipe! You can select to wipe in aroma along with the gapps
[Motorola Photon 4G] Airwolf79:
Try flashing the Homebase rom, or any Blur rom, then update ur PRL and profile.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jmrubel77:
Straight Talk has been awesome so far. I live in Indianapolis, so never had 4g speeds, but when I switched it to straight talk I got att hspa+... downloads at 3-4 mbps. It is smoking fast compared to Sprint's crappy 3g.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
New CNA Nightly 9.6 is uploading as we speak. It's Aroma based, but fear not! LOL :)

I have put in choices for Calibration

1) Use my calibration (this was done in V3 Jokersax CWM, so using another recovery might not fully be calibrated right)

2) Calibrate the phone myself (go through calibration mode for your phone and cwm). Be aware...your phone should be on a LEVEL surface and not moving during this process to get the best results

3) Calibrate hardware keys (vol up/down to navigate, power to select, back to go back and menu for the menu

Also added this release. Titanium Backup (by popular demand) :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
What theme is this? My phone doesn't appear to have a theme that looks like this (on currently nightly).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That is Mixer...it's available on the Play Market. I didn't include it as it's quite a large file...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Yeah, it's like 35MB or so. Good theme. Not meant for qHD screens and it will tell you so when you go to apply it, but you can override and I have yet to see a problem with it.

Thanks for bundling Titanium. I think even the free version is helpful. But slower. The pro version gets something called hyper shell that speeds it up considerably. But I think the paid version is the best paid app you van get. If you buy it at the site, it's almost a buck cheaper than on the Play Store, and you get a text file to drop on your SD card that activates the free version. Faster than getting the key off the Play Store.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Lol...but fear not! Nice ;)

I actually never even ended up using the 9/3 Nightly because I've been on AOKP!

But I'll have to check this one out :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
ah, ok. thanks!

another question...

I can't get Barnacle to do anything. Barnacle will load, and "run", and my laptop can even see it (though it reports as ad-hoc mode only), but my laptop cannot connect to it.

How do I get wifi tether working on this ROM?

Thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Try foxfi... Its been the only one my laptop will actually connect to
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Your wireless card might not like it....I'm using it right now to up this response
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Yes I'm liking it more and more... Just wish the stutter wasn't so bad when using the gallery and such... Lib problem I know but it's aggravating lol... Also, I installed PA aroma but no gapps? Just flashed em afterwards but figured I'd ask... Thanks again
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Forgot to mention Bill, 9/3 has two settings for notification toggles. You have the old CNA one, and the AOKP one as well. I didn't try enabling the AOKP one.

Also happy to see Torch has made its return.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nightly 9/6 is up on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
I got "fail to turn on Wifi". Thought maybe barnacle had it locked, so I rebooted.

Tried again and got "WiFi mode has failed on your phone. Please use Bluetooth instead."

Laptop is Dell Precision M4600 with Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN wireless adapter. I've never had an issue connecting to anything else, but definitely not discrediting this statement. Just don't know "why".

Just tried the app "WiFi Tether" and had the same problem as barnacle. Computer sees it as "ad-hoc", and doesn't connect.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
This was my test-bed for my Aroma JB experiences. I'm adding features and options to this and then once I see that everything works right, I will add it to other builds. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Hey Bill got my issue figured out. Needed to select wipe cache and davlik. Got 9/3 installed this am and just did same to install 9/6. Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No problemo. Glad it's working for you :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
Are these the only changes in the 9/6 nightly?

◦Changed Aroma Calibration Setup (now user selectable)

◦Added in option for Titanium

Cause if so, I'm gonna wait for the next one since I already have Titanium.

If not, I'm gonna flash it because I like to stay "on the cutting edge", lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
There are other changes that the CNA dev made. I haven't really gotten to play around with the ROM too much, as I am at work, but most of these releases seem to have a good number of changes to them...

So far, I must say that it's really nice :)

There is a scheduled Stable release for tonight....once I get it, I'll port and upload. Not sure when that will be.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Any chance you have looked into a "tablet" mode incorporated into CNA? Or vice versa, PA with CNA settings?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
The changes mentioned from Th3Bill are changes he made to Aroma and an extra option he added in for us!

I checked out the Change Log for CNA and the Dev hasn't posted much because he plans on posting the changes with the official release tonight/tomo. BUT, he did say there was a TON of new features!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
I like a "TON of new features!!"... Think I'll flash me some... lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Funny part...that post on twit was last night (19 hrs ago) So, we should see it sometime tonight :) I'm eagerly awaiting with my porting hat on...LMAO
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I can look into something like this. It most likely will not be as advanced as what PA does, as their rom is entirely built for Tablet. I may be able to get a tablet "mode", but I doubt I'll be able to incorporate all of their advanced settings into it like the individual rom dpi, etc...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I didn't see the Twitter post! I'll have to follow him :)

Below is the direct quote from his Running Change Log in his Nightlies Forum section...

And I believe this was posted late last night so like you mentioned, should see the official build today some time :D

Just caught the "porting hat" comment! I'll be a patiently waiting too! ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
Ok, I think I'm getting a better grasp of this now... Tell if I'm wrong..

Another Dev actually Created CNA (already knew this).

Th3Bill Ported it to the Photon (already knew this). Which, basically, consisted of making necessary changes to it that would make it function properly with the Photon's hardware?

The CNA Dev builds a nightly almost every day. (didn't know this)

Th3Bill takes those nightlies, and does the same as above, plus adding some of his own flare.

So, while we are patiently waiting, daily, for Th3Bill's nightlies, he has to patiently wait on the CNA Dev's nightlies?

So, bug reports, which would primarily be CNA-phone related, should go to Th3Bill, while overall CNA feature requests to the CNA Dev?

For some reason, I had thought that after the initial port, they kind of went separate directions...

So, how does Joker's CM10 builds fit into all this? I just confused myself again.... go figure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'll let Th3Bill explain the details, but Joker's CM10 is the base ROM that is needed in order for Th3Bill to port over roms like CNA, AOKP, etc...

But yes, I suppose new feature requests for CNA should probably be directed to the CNA Dev. Other bugs and stuff are mainly to be reported here. Of course, because we don't have official ICS or JB, there are of course limitations due to lack of Motorola driver support, but Joker & Th3Bill have done an amazing job with the ICS and JB ROMs we have! They are MUCH harder to develop/port because we are technically still on GB (2.3.4/5)! LMAO!! ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] putergod:
if we've been using the nightlies all this time, should we just stick with it, or go to the "official" one after you've ported it? Is there any benefit to that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I use CM10 from Joker as the base for this, as I'm still learning to do source, and honestly the number of fixes needed just to get CM10 to boot due to all of our missing libs is so extensive that it takes him days just to get it right much of the time, so I rely on him for the base.

I then take the Nexus build of CNA done by Codename Android dev and port it, making edits to frameworks and apks to make it work right on our phones. I then add some options and package it in the Aroma installer so that we can have things like Gapps, different storage options, ril options, etc. These things are necessary as the Nexus is a GSM only phone, and has no sd-card.

Bug reports should be done to me, as some of the items may be things that I can fix, or may be still in the process of me perfecting my port...that can be affected by the fact that JB is growing VERY rapidly along with our lack of lib files.

I think you're thinking of builds off official releases, which for this phone would be GB based roms. Since we have no official ICS or JB, we don't have anything that is fully developed for our hardware and considered 100% stable...sure our roms work really well, but they are very much projects....done by 2 guys (one of which-myself-is a Pharmacist, not even a computer guy...LOL), compared to what Moto puts out, which is built by a team of paid computer programmers. :) GB roms do tend to vary a lot, as the devs are taking something stable and adding all their stuff to it....much harder in our situation without ICS or JB source.. :(

I run whatever the latest one is....I usually try to put the date of the release on the page when I upload it...they are all really good. I will be upping the nightly as soon as I can get it ported :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
What about incorporating the CNA options into PA?
