Another thing I just realized with the APN menu, which by the way worked like I charm once I figured out what I did. It appears you couldn't select uscc out of the list, you just had to be careful not to select either of the CDMA apns. When I entered my UN/PW I accidentally bumped and selected one of the other two, so I went through and edited that one to match uscc's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NOMIOMI:
where is download link for this rom????
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Here:

Th3Bill - XenonHD 8.14 for Photon

And you can find latest Gapps here:

[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
does anyone else have the kickstand enable itself constantly ? just curious
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm going to be updating this tonight....
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
Awesome. One quirk that I've noticed is that after running this as my daily for a couple weeks, I kept having a problem today with my phone getting really hot and rebooting. First time it actually booted back up, but then 5 min later did it again and stayed at the initial Motorola logo screen. Only thing I can think of that I did differently today is I tried to connect my phone to my laptop to xfer some music to my SD card. phone stated it mounted after 5 minutes of trying, but never appeared on the laptop. So i disconnected and then the overheating/reboot deal started. I ended up just pulling the battery for 15 min to let it cool and since then its been good. I don't know what happened for sure. And of course, I was in a hurry to get to work so no logcat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
So no more stuttering issues? LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
The fix that you have on Jokersax.com for mounting to PC, is that what I need to fix the issue I mentioned with nothing mounting on the PC? Also, I can't seem to find any of the options for default action to take when USB is connected. Used to be in the same spot to enable USB debugging but I cant find that either

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, I've gotten this far from googling and reading threads lol.

Thank you again!

[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Fixes and stuff?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It has BT fixes, storage mount fix. Also has some similar items to AOKP....
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Ty for more hard work Bill. Good job
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
I tried installing this ROM, but I could not get it to boot. It freezes up during the boot process (while the boot video is playing) on my phone. I tried installing it twice, and even did a "wipe data/factory reset" before the second install, but it still freezes during boot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Logcat!?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
How do I do a "logcat"?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
If you're on Linux... look here. Logcat instructions are in the middle of the OP

If you're a Windows user, lemme know. The process is very similar...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
My PC is running Windows.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ok, next question... Do you have the Android SDK installed on your PC?

If not, it's recommended to set it up as per these instructions located here.

**Note: Assuming you already have the correct drivers installed to connect your device to your PC, never mind the last part about the "modified driver inf file".

Also, if you do have the Android SDK installed, make sure you've added the correct lines to your PATH as mentioned in the above instructions. This insures that you can start "adb" services in a command window from anywhere without have to worry about switching to different directories.

Now, if you already have done the above steps, than look here. When you do the "adb logcat > logcat.txt" command, it will save the file to the root directory of your files.

Hopefully this makes sense and helps you to get a logcat so as to see why you aren't able to boot! :)

Lemme know if you have any questions.

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build 9.16 is up on Jokersax.com

Now in AROMA!

No need to report error/show log.

Simply flash Aroma-Prep, then reboot recovery...

THEN flash ROM, flash Options, Reboot, Enjoy

Aroma-Prep ONLY needs to be used on the FIRST TIME. :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
do we need to do a full wipe before switching to aroma?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No. Just flash Aroma-Prep, reboot recovery, then flash away. You wipe INSIDE the rom :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
Alright, thanks. Im pumped to check out aroma, haven't had a chance as this is the first and only ROM I felt the need to use. Just want to know if u need to be prepared to reinstall everything lol. Props for all the hard work!

[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
having problems with Aroma. I ran Aroma-prep and re-installed. I ran the install and tried to just wipe cache, but was unable to boot. After it ran through the popup of "Update x of x Applications" the phone rebooted and stuck at the Moto logo. So I tried again, ran the installer and did a full wipe, ran options, got to the point of signing into Google and the phone rebooted again and stuck at the Moto logo. Im at a loss and reluctant to just re-install 9.9 which was working with no problems. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

So just an update.

9.16 installer

Full wipe

Stuck with 1.3 Kernel

Set EMMC as primary storage

CDMA, without tweaks

USCC eri fix

Options

All Gapps

Apollo music player

Flash player

Solid browser

Nova launcher

Reboot -- think im good now

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

On a side note, the only thing I changed this time is what launcher I was using, and what kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What recovery are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Not sure if this could be related, or if it was possibly just a fluke...but anyway, I save the Aroma logs after installation and noticed that it had an error when trying to mount the "cache" partition.

Exact message from Aroma log was:

I didn't have any errors after booting up but I did do a full wipe. I just thought I'd mention it as he had mentioned he initially ONLY tried wiping /cache and /dalvik cache
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
I swear I had installed Joker's v3, top of my Recovery shows "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4". Guess I'm not sure what it should show to indicate that that's what I had installed.

Hadn't really noticed any troubles before this, just had to make sure to do what wipes I needed, which seemed to be full wipe the first install and then just wipe cache for upgrades. And ran into troubles a couple times if I didn't install gapps 2x and then fix permissions. Don't know why, but without out this random gapps would crash and once Google Now stopped working altogether until i re-ran a fresh install.

I do appear to be good now, although I keep getting random notifications that my google sign-in failed, yet youtube, play store, etc., are all signed in.

I when to the sync setting for my Google account and browser sync kept failing, so I just disabled that part, and I still keep getting that error. I know I should be getting a logcat to look through and maybe determine whats prompting it from there. But that is the only real quirk I notice now other than the normal driver/lib related problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I wouldn't stress the Google Sign-in error much because that isn't anything you're doing wrong. I think everyone might temporarily be experiencing that right now.

As far as the Recovery you're using, you are all good there. Jokers v3 recovery IS v5.5.0.4
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
Yea, then I'm pretty sure I haven't messed anything up. It just seems odd that I'd all of a sudden have that many issues getting an update up and running when everything else went slicker than sh!t, and if anything did mess up it was a 'duh' moment and I knew exactly what I'd mixed up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sandmanfvr:
So other than the video camera not working, this is really stable? I just got my photon on craigslist and now back into the droid family (running from ios). I have hacked blackberries, palm os, windows phones etc and I don't mind it but now I need a stable daily use rom and it looks like good work from good people on this one. So good for daily use? Thanks to developers!

Edit: Oh how is battery life? Any cpu throttling while phone is idle (did that way back on my htc hero) and how is google now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I've heard this is pretty stable. I haven't played around with it too much, but they seem to have made a very good rom that I have ported :) My personal preference is MIUI or AOKP. CNA and Paranoid are cool, but tend to take things to a different edge, and make it a bit less stable
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
9.29 is UP on my Goo.im.

Link is in the OP

You will need THIS FIX...flash after or else gapps won't allow you to log in.

DO NOT USE FIX ON GOO. I am unable to remove it just yet...even though it says 2 and the one listed here is 1, it is NOT newer or actually a fix :D

Hi, everyone. I'm the Google nexus user in Thailand. Now I've updated to Jellybean 4.1 but in my country can't use the Google navigation. I was found the topic that can use the Google navigation outside US but it can use only in Froyo.

Now I need to know how I use the navigation outside US with Jelly Bean. Thanks forward for helping me.

Thank you, :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
I did a quick search and found this. I have no way to test this as I'm in the US. I'm interested to know if it works or not as I will be going to Thailand next year. I lived in Thailand for 9 years and usually never used a GPS except in Bangkok where it really comes in handy.

Please let us know and update this thread if you get it working.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
If anyone is wondering... I live in Vietnam. Originally from USA but I'm out here for work. When I launch Navigation I get a pop up message saying that Navigation doesn't work or is available where I am. There are two options "Cancel" and "Get Directions". I touch the latter and I can still get directions just fine. I just verified as I am typing this. Selected "My Location" to "War Remnants Museum.." and it auto finished the address with no issues. Maybe it's different in Thailand? Maybe because my Google account is American? Who knows but it works just fine here and I have the latest version of Maps on 4.1.1.

Just FYI if anyone in Vietnam was wondering.

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abnah:
It's working fine in Germany (with German Google account), so I assume they just aren't allowed to offer that service officially/at all in Vietnam/Thailand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
You can get the directions but unless you are in a supported country it does not give you turn-by-turn navigation like a proper car GPS. I've used it in both the UK (where it is supported) and Thailand and it's a world of difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
I think you can easily find that on teh interwebz, latest I've know it's working is gmaps 6.9.0.

Hopefully Google doesn't chase me down for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Navigation in Croatia is not working yet too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gorjess:
What i still don't understand is why Google bans any kind of distribution of their (modified) maps other from play store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
I guess they don't want to have problems with regulations etc. If they didn't launch it officially must've been its not supported and they don't want to be held responsible for any problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xredjokerx:
Ownhere mod..?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dorm10:
This is Not currect!!!

must tell you all that I have two Samsung phone and one has a working Google Navigator and the second won't work.

The second phone always give the annoying message that says that it a not supported region.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maximusl:
Google is blocking all modded versions so that you can no longer sign in and recover saved routes places etc. Remember googles slogan ''don't be evil''? They are becoming more and more ''evil'' :( BTW gmaps 7 sux big time. No morr normal offline caching with visible rectangle etc. I was so annoid with google mking such things that I bought other nav app, quite cheap BTW and forgot about google :(

Ok, so I had put on Craigslist a few weeks that I needed my phone rooted, I would have done it but didn't have a laptop, anyways some guy emailed me charged me $15, whatever. So today I get an email from some guy who wanted to charge me $35. So I decided to troll him a little

Him: U still looking to root ur phone?? I charge 35$ to root or Jailbreak any android or iphone...i can also add free hotspot on ur phone to get internet on ur laptop/ipad. . Know any1 wanting their phone rooted or jailbroken

Me: Whoa, so you can root my phone and give me a hotspot for $35. That's awesome! But will tmobile charge me? Also is there anything else you could do to my phone to make it faster or cooler? Please let me know and how much you would charge me. Thanks

Him: No, u can use hotspot as much as u want and tmobile wont know (LIAR) , and yes I can also get rid of all those annoying ads on apps for $10. and I can also install whats called a rom on ur phone and it will make it way faster and smoother, with longee battery life and ull even get faster internet for $25. It will be like having a new phone Let me know if ur interested

Me:So all that for $70!! Sweet. My friend has the same phone and he is gonna be hating lol( I then asked him if he could meet me all the way across town and if from there we could go to his house, he said sure and if I brought my friend he would do both for $120. I told him its a deal, and told him that I would meet him there in an hour so if anything to email me back.

So an hour and a half passed and he emailed me asking where I was and that he was waiting for mwle. I then proceeded to tell him that just as me and my friend were gonna take off, I suddenly remembered I was a member of this little website called xda developers and that I no longer needed his assistance. And also to not be trying to rip off people because karma is a biatch.

He then sent me an email telling me off, calling me a bunch of names and that gas wasn't cheap,

I then sent him this pic

I feel a little bit like an ahole but I think he kind of deserved it lol.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed my little story lol

[Off-topic] RXDriv3r:

[Off-topic] peeturr:
I didn't really find it funny. Everyone has their price and that just happened to be his. Inexperienced people would rather pay someone to do it for them for a sense of security. Much like you mentioned the oil change, instructions are all over the internet but people still rather pay someone to do it. People shouldn't get disrespected for their prices. If someone was willing to pay that amount, that's the price they pay for not doing their own research. Everyone is just out to make a buck somehow and you just ruined his day for your own selfishness.
[Off-topic] Teo032:
You must be the guy who was ripping him off
[Off-topic] Kwills88:
I agree, paying that much just for rooting a t989 with those extra things is way too much, this phone is so easy to root your can basically do it at a library and be finished in about 5mins literally, you can even YouTube how to do it, this phone is very noob friendly.. It's cost 50bucks to debrick a phone on the jtag Site plus shipping, add root/ rom and it's 80bucks and that process is way harder.

Paying 70bucks means you'd be paying for features that already comes in most roms.

Though making him travel is a bit though.
[Off-topic] mettleh3d:
and how does one who does not visit XDA know how to do this let alone what "rooting your device" means?

The guy on CL was providing a service, the OP did a **** move. Why in the world would the OP elicit a fake business exchange other than getting his jollies? Rip off is relative; if you know how to change your own oil, then every Jiffy Lube is a criminal operation and they should be out of business cause everyone changes his own oil.

smh.
[Off-topic] laneyofdeath:

[Off-topic] nellycruzz:

[Off-topic] jcnbama:
Soooooo. . About that Wi-Fi tethering thing. . .
[Off-topic] Kwills88:
Kinda why i mentioned YouTube, before i even knew XDA existed, when i got my first phone (t-mobile shadow) the first place i went to know more about it, was youtube, thus leading me here..most people who even heard the word root would visit youtube or search google to know about the process before hoping right to CL and pay for something they know nothing about.

Like i said, i thought making him travel all the way was a **** move, but paying that much for root service and whatever else is reaching a bit.
[Off-topic] djpingpong:
It's perfectly fine to offer oil changes at $90 if that is the price that they are charging everyone. If they normally charge $40 and then sucker someone into paying $90 for the same service then that is where you have a problem. It isn't your business so you have no say in how much something costs. If the demand is there then any business can charge as much as they want for their product. If the product is truly "overpriced" then people won't buy it and the seller will be forced to lower their prices.

If you agree that what OP did was right then you may as well go out and set fires at Nike stores since they charge a premium for shoes.
[Off-topic] Raul69.atl:
He probably is a xda member and read this lmao!!!
[Off-topic] Teo032:
I think that's the original joke, but some people are taking it too seriously. Op even said he felt like an ahole, but $35 is steep. I've seen people that charge 15-25 for the service, and it's mostly because you're paying for the security of knowing this person will do it correctly rather than diy and risking to brick your own phone.

There are a lot of people who knows of this site and reads up on the instruction, but many would be like, "i don't want to risk it, I'll just pay someone to do it for me".

Btw lol at $90 oil change lol. Fully synthetic oil change are $50 at most.
[Off-topic] algorhythm:
There's a difference between saying "sorry, too expensive" and stringing someone along just to be a ****ing child. The guy is free to charge what he wants.

And you must not have a car that uses uncommon oil. My car takes 6qt of 0w20 synthetic. At 9$/qt that's just $54 for oil, plus $15 for a filter. $70 for me to change my own oil. More for dealer service.

And you are right about the oil changes, stop being so technical gosh lol. Let me rephrase and say MOST fully synthetic oil changes are approximately $50-60 (shop prices) better? you bastard.
