My gut tells me their not going to support the Photon anymore.I wish Motorola would just leak the source code so we can get a complete ics rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Yea I'm not giving up hope till December. Its been known that the release wasn't till quarter 4. It was the same situation for the original cilq. The update to froyo kept getting pushed back till way after gingerbread was released and honeycomb was just coming out. But they still delivered.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iamx89:
That's why I still have hope.. I had the cliq and when i decided to sell it, it got the update :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
I had the Samsung Epic 4G. I remember it came out about two years ago this time, and Gingerbread came out a couple months later. The Epic 4g didn't get official Gingerbread until October last year, over a year after the phone came out, and nearly a year after Gingerbread came out. I saw this same sort of worrying and discussion on the XDA Epic 4G page back then. The biggest difference was that the Epic was more developer-friendly, with the unlocked bootloader. Also, with the Epic, Samsung didn't give any release schedule. There were rumors upon rumors, but Gingerbread practically just showed up one day. We've known about quarter 4 for a while now for the Photon.

The Atrix doesn't have a roll-out date at all yet.. The Atrix 2 does for Q3. Wasn't sure if you forgot the "2" or were confusing the Atrix 2 date with the original Atrix. https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c

[Motorola Photon 4G] Alex949:
Moto said quarter 4 and we're less then 2 weeks from the official start of that, the Photon is just over a year old, they MUST receive ICS, that's otherwise criminal if we don't

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
That's what I thought. No ICS ever. I am not so upset, because I planned to do hardware upgrade. But it looks like I was blind and Motorola really isn't worth buying anymore. It's not only update thing, but each other manufacturer has official support in my country and Motorola won't even start selling new devices in Europe this year (just RAZR i and some low-end phone maybe).
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Looks like the atrix crew just got wind of the status change as well. Things went from optimistic to FUUUUUUU. Lol

Wonder if this change is front page worthy?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
The Photon went from Q4 ICS to a two-stage ICS-JB update, likely for a Q1 rollout.

But as I think about it, it is not a big surprise, when Motorola reduced their production so much. How much employees were fired? 20000?

She also told me she doesn't want any Motorola device anymore not even the MoPho Q that for now on Samsung or Nexus only LOL. ;)

Well this will be the last moto phone I buy. HTC and Samsung are the best smartphone manufacturers compared to these guys, and that's saying something. I guess time to use that upgrade I've been sitting on.

I thought choosing Motorola over Samsung and HTC would yield somewhat better software updates but I find that Motorola comes in dead last in timely software updates. Google needs to regulate and do something about this. The fact that we are still running on Gingerbread is just ridiculous. The way I read "Further plans soon" = ICS cancelled. Perhaps Motorola has decided that most 2011 phones deserve the JB update but with their track record, even if Motorola promised the Photon to get the JB update, it'll take until Q3 2013. By then I would have moved on from this device and definitely away from Motorola.

The GS4 will be my next phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I think we need to start thinking GB update for the Moment type of rollout. "You'll get when ever you get it which may be never." The Droid3 was simply kicked to the curb.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
IMO the Droid 3 was a dead horse once it left the gates. The razr was immediately behind it and it sported 4g. I used the 3 for work and dreaded it. Could have been the awful goodlink that we are forced to use. Wasn't long till we upgraded our devices to the razrs.

The bionic is in the same boat as the 3. At least it has 4g.

A small group of developers can create and update a particular phone. Without resources and doing it on their spare time.

Now Motorola with plenty of resources and hundreds of engineers all over the world. Cannot deliver on something like this.

Can anyone give a a single reason Why should a stick to Motorola? when they "Stick it to us" any chance they get.

The least they should do is to open the boot loader, 14 months of wait, empty promises and now this!

And Sprint is sitting on the side lines on this. The are not helping on these issues.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
If Motorola does something for the Photon 4G, I want to see a JB update, not an ICS update. ICS is old now and JB is way better.
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
This is really sad indeed. I upgraded to this handset from Motorola Defy+ just a month ago because I got a good deal here in India. I was very much expecting atleast ICS update as this handset is more than capable of handling ICS with ease. Keeping fingers crossed and hoping that they would skp ICS update for JB.

Samsung released JB upgrade schedule and they're providing JB update to handsets like Galaxy Ace Plus having 1Ghz single core processor and just 512Mb of RAM.

[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Atrix 2 has an entirely different SoC from TI while the SoC on Photon is from nVidia and the same SoC is used on Atrix. That's the reason it is discussed that if Atrix gets ICS, we will get it too.

Hi, today I successfully unlocked the bootloader on my xperia x8 via flashtool put on custom kernel nAa 14 and miniCM7 Yay

Everything is fine apart that I want to change network because they have much better deals etc.

I went to the 3 network shop and tried to put in the Sim, it took it in loaded but wouldnt register with the network , in fact I tried last week when I was on stock kernel and gingerxperia and it asked for ''unlock code'', today it didn't ask for unlock code took it in but wont register.

I guess there must be some sim lock or something. I kindly ask you if you could give me and advice so I can be at peace.

Maybe it is unlocked but something to do with Radio pehaps:eek: nonetheless my current Network works fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanosalf:
Exactly the same question.

I have an xperia X8 with some naa kernel and xperiadroidx 6.1.

The thing is that with this custom kernel and rom when i put a sim from another network carrier, the question asking for the sim-unlock code input is not showing up. (this appeared before when phone was in stock state)

What do i need to do?

Put back the phone to stock? What is the easiest/safest/best way to do this? using the restore option in PC companion?

Is it only needed to put the stock kernel and rom, or Do i also need to relock the bootloader?

I don't need the whole explanation, just a little guidance, just a few tips to know what to do, then i can google/search myself for the specifics on how to actually do it.

thanks in advance

I'm yet to try cause I have to use NTFS pen drives during the next few days, will flash it after that. I had a small request if possible look into it.

I was going through dev sicopat's threads & I found that he had enabled BLN for the stock SMS app by modding it. The link to the MOD is currently down as it was uploaded on multiupload which had shut down for some time. But I'm searching for an alternate link, will notify you if I find one.

Here's the link to the ROM's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1164516 (Check Post no. 2, Updates: v3.0).

If possible can you MOD the stock ICS SMS, stock ICS Samsung Email app(not Gmail) / Social Hub for enabling BLN in them ? As per Sicopat's thread as of now this can't be enabled even if we download the BLN Control Pro app & we've to use 3rd party apps. Maybe you can get in touch with him to enable the same.

Hope it'll be possible for you to do so. Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mhca:
First of all thanks Adam. This is a long awaited MOD; I have been missing notification LEDs since my change from HTC to SGR.

I have installed your zip through CWM, wiped cache and dalvik cache and bought BLN control app.

The test looks fine, but I have yet to get it to work with an SMS application. I still just use the stock application which doesn't give LED notification.

But I experienced an issue with the modded kernel related to touch. It however disappeared after having the screen off for a few minutes.

When I held icons and try to move them to another position, it lost my touch after 1-1½ second. Similarly I couldn't flick halfway to a new page and hold it there for more than 1½ second.

I'll give an update if it comes back, but this is the first time I have experienced such an issue, and therefore I expected it to be related to this modification.

[HOW TO] ☆ Transparent homescreen statusbar on JellyBean ☆ for themers and everyone

SGNII JB THEMES ☆ SGSIII JB THEMES ☆ SGSIII ICS THEMES ☆ NEXUS PRIME JB THEME ☆ NEW CENTER CLOCK GUIDE ☆ JB TRANSPARENT STATUSBAR GUIDE

- - - - - - - - - - - -

​

Hi everyone!

Because it looks like we have practically ready for official release sammy JellyBean seems to me it's time to make our themes better :)

Here's a simple guide how to make homescreen statusbar transparent:

1. You should decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Open /SystemUI/res/layout/tw_super_status_bar.xml and change android:background to 100% transparent:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView [B]android:background="#[COLOR="Red"]00000000[/COLOR]"[/B] android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">

3. Save /SystemUI/res/layout/tw_super_status_bar.xml

4. Open /SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and edit this line to get transparency you need, for example, 100% transparent:

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[B]#[COLOR="red"]00000000[/COLOR][/B]</item>

5. Save /SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml

6. Recompile SystemUI.apk

Done... Now you have 100% transparent homescreen statusbar :)

A short hint:

#00000000 - 100% transparency

#3F000000 - 75% transparency

#7F000000 - 50% transparency

#BF000000 - 25% transparency

If you only need a ready-made statusbar you can find it here - [THEME][JB] 15 Toggle Buttons☆NEW Center Clock☆Transparent Statusbar☆and more

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Perka:
Maybe a stupi q, but the status bar is transparent only in home screen and not in apps?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
Yes in this case but to be honest it's better on my opinion because it was very ugly on ICS.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bassie1995:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Perka:
Yea looks kinda crappy in some apps, but in home screen its really nice :)

Thx for this, might use it in my jb rom later on if that is ok? Ofc credit and link to this thread will be posted.

Of course :) It was shared for everyone :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] David Dee:
What about transparent notification pull down background? I cannot find the code to do this.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
You should change background source in tw_status_bar_expanded.xml, it could be android:background="@drawable/new_bg" for example, then add new_bg.png in /SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi and recompile SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] David Dee:
Perfect, thanks! I was thrown off with the removal of tw_status_bar_tracking.xml in JB.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
You're welcome! And in this case you can change background on the fly like in my MODs - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840290

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] apristel:
OK,

I've decomplied the systemui from cm10 (jellybean) and do not have the tw_super_status_bar.xml file. There is a super_status_bar.xml

There is no /SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml ...there isn't even the values directory.

What are you guys using to edit these .xml's? I've got like wordpad++ and an actual .xml editor but its still all garbled.

Or is getting a transparent statusbar on CM10 just not happening?

btw I have a USCC S3, I understand this thread is for the international model.

If this solution isn't going to work for me, any where I can look to figure out how to do this?

Thanks everyone for your patience and help.

Am I wrong in saying that CM10 is jellybean?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] raubkatze:
Yes, there is no tw_super_status_bar.xml in CM10 because it is not sammy based rom. You can try to edit super_status_bar.xml.

Do you quite understand what "decompile" means? You should use apktool to decompile .apk file.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] apristel:
Well I can't get it apktool to work properly. This is really irritating. Can you tell me which java verison(s) I need to make apktool work?

OR I could just send you the .apk and you can give it a shot for me. Probably would take you 10 seconds!

Please help a brother out!

I've uploaded the systemui.apk to my server
