Hey Cougar one more question?

I travel frequently for a computer software company

Will this rom allow *#*#4636#*#* for switching networks with my overseas SIM cards like your 4/23 cm7.2 ROM did?

[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Grab youtube from the Google play.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Says my device in incompatible with this app and won't let me download...ill just grab it from aptoide, but i figured i'd let ya know what mine was doing...

Thanks and still my daily I love the options and the introduction of all the ICS/JB functions...have you looked into getting google now to work?

EDIT: Got youtube to work by downloading from Aptoide but now I have a few concerns...when trying to connect to wifi I get "Obtaining IP address..." then it just says that the point is out of range(flashed back to 4.23 KANG and I connect fine and maintane connection with no issues)...and the battery life is astonishingly horrible...I checked all the settings and so far cannot find anything that would be sucking my battery dry within 10 hours of moderate to no use at all...Hopefully you can take a look at these as I would love to go back to this rom as my daily :)

Thanks again for everything you've done to make our phones that much more impressive

Any plans to release Build 4 any time soon or should I just flash the current build? I didn't want to have to select all of my preferences twice.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I'm prepping for build 4, just finishing the photon device overlays and maybe sync up to faux's latest kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Will this build fix the screen refreshing all the time? (Screen goes black acts like it wants to rotate and then just goes right back to what I was doing, sometimes it closes the keyboard or pauses the game I am playing)
[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
I broke my wifi, driver won't load... says error when trying to start. Anyone know how to fix without a full wipe? Re-flash didn't work. Some say mounting sd-ext fixes this problem but that didn't work either.

Thx
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
See if turning off screen-off animations help. I think in build 2 I removed that, but was it was fixed at the source for build 3.

Other places to try.. turn off screen rotation animations, turn on or off the proximity sensor, turn on or off auto brightness. Or adjust the screen off times.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Try deleting any modules in /system/lib/modules then flash one of the kernels. If that don't work, delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf then reboot. This resets your wifi passwords, but fixes wifi in most cases.

Don't restore titanium backup system settings like passwords, if from a different rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
Thanks but no luck. I did notice this began after messing with storage settings, but can't seem to undo whatever I did. I never tried to restore any wifi settings. Time for a wipe!

[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
Glad I waited to wipe. This bad boy is getting flashed proper.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
No, you need to be unlocked for the kernel and ramdisk changes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moisaal:
4g only works if you have a locked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
Build4 much less buggy when changing interface settings. Hope this project keeps improving.

With undervolt, lower screen off CPU speed, and power saver options, I'm getting the best battery life I've ever had with this phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Cougar, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this ROM has the potential to be the best ROM we have for our Photon. Nearly all of the features of AOKP Jelly Bean and CyanogenMod rolled into the stability that is Gingerbread. I really hope you continue to develop this ROM.

I have encountered a pretty nasty bug by the way if you wouldnt care to look into it. Randomly, the Menu, Search, and Back hardware keys will stop functioning for no apparent reason. A reboot fixes it but the problem will occur again shortly. I did a clean install and have since fixed perms, wiped cache and dalvik, etc. I am also on the Kravens 1.3uv v4 kernel. Thank you for all your work.

::EDIT::

The bug i mentioned goes further than hardkeys. Softkeys that map to back, search, and menu will not work either. This goes for the bottom navigation bar as well as statusbar softkeys. I am going to try a different kernel and see if there is a change.

::EDIT2::

Happens on all kernels. I am afraid it's a deal breaker. Back to something else until this is fixed... Damn what a shame, I am pretty sure this ROM is my favorite so far. Heres hoping for a fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I'll look into it. I'll see if I can replicate it. There's a few settings that could be the culprit. If you are still on it. Allow Incall UI Touch. Turn off back button ends call, home button answers call, then try turning off the soft button bar and navigation bar. See if lowering the overclock helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Thank you for replying. Ive made the settings you requested. The only one that I needed to change was In Call UI Touch. I'll letcha know what happens.

::EDIT::

happened again. When I get home I am going to full wipe and start from scratch. Maybe then I can pinpoint the issue. Also, would a logcat help you?

::EDIT2::

Ok, little more insight. I don't even need to reboot to get it to work again. All it takes is turning the display off for like 10 seconds. On the other hand, it can be working fine until i turn the display off, and then not work when turning it back on. Any other ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I think I know what you are getting now. Try turning off screen off animations. That's not working right now. And which lockscreen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I ended up doing another full wipe and starting over. Not sure what I did but it seems to be working fine now.. Although as soon as I post thia it will happen again haha. But sceen turnoff animation was always disabled, I followed your post-install directions :P I was using the default lockscreen (JB ring alpha) now I am using (jb holo alpha). Also, another bug to report. Sometimes when receiving a call the ring wont show up so you can't answer or ignore calls. Ill report back with anything else I find. Thanks again.

:EDIT:

Spoke too soon, doing it again. Thinking the lockscreen was the culprit I tried to change it. But for whatever reason it always defaults back to JB Pad alpha. If theres anything else I can try Ill do it but for now i think i will restore a nandroid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Which recovery?

See if answering calls by the homebutton is checked, that overrides onscreen answering.

Lockscreen changes won't be in effect till a reboot, or hotboot (currently not working but fixed in the next patches)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Joker v3 Recovery

Didnt realize the lockscreen wouldnt change till a reboot, silly me. Ill check it. Also, don't you mean Menu Button Answers Calls? I see no Home button answers calls. And yes, its disabled. I made sure this time around to not change any settings that would result in messing with keymaps. Interesting because when the problem occurs and you press any of the hardkeys they will vibrate. So the system knows you are pressing them, it's just nothing happens. Also normally I leave screen lock sounds off (the sound that happens when you turn off the display). But this time I didnt and I have noticed sometimes it takes 3 or 4 seconds for the sound to happen. It seems that if i turn the display back on before the system plays that lock sound, it will replicate the problem.

:EDIT:

Another bug to keep in mind, themes do not keep after a reboot. Defaults back to original.

:EDIT2:

Off topic, but did I read somewhere that there is a version of these kernels for CM7? They run beautifully!

:EDIT3:

After testing a different lockscreen and callscreen, the problem still exists. But like i said, i can turn the display off and back on and for whatever reason it fixes it. Also tried with the lockscreen completely disabled, same thing. We can rule out that its a lockscreen problem, or kernel problem, or mapping problem. Funny though as no one else in this thread has reported this issue and it makes me sad :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I have had this issue and also the settings not taking when changed...I love this rom as well but not being able to answer a phone call is kinda crappy...I use my phone for work so I have to keep a stable ROM on it. If a logcat is needed I could reflash and get it but I don't know as it will help because they aren't exactly conflicts in programs just not registering properly after a change...lemme know what I can do to help as I will be available to flash today and all of tomorrow :) thanks again as this is my new favorite

Also, about using these kernels on a cm7 ROM, I'm currently running kanged cm7.2 4/23 with the 1.3uv kernel and everything is running like butter:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
nice

I am really trying to like this ROM,the options are endless

hopefully the 4.1 update will resolve a few issues with the main one being...

---- the menu button intermittently working

I am doing a complete wipe and going to install 4.1 update.

got my fingers crossed...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I think it lies in the screen off animation code and Incall ui touch code. I'm working on why settings aren't sticking or instantly change.

Test build 2 or 3 if you have a chance to see if you have the same problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
cougar...

I have been a fan of your work since 4/23 cm7.2 build.

build 2&3 had the same issue.

actually build 4.0 was the best, cause you could simply hit the power button and turn screen back on to make the menu button work.

I always wipe cache,dalvik,system,and factory reset.

I use my backup pro to restore apks only,never data.I like to start fresh.

I'm. using twrp 2.3.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is 4.1 working properly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Same problem persists. And cougar, it happens randomly even if the screen is already on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
I have screen animation off....

and incall ui touch off

same problem, menu button still intermittent.

But the ROM is freakin awesome!!!!

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

as far as working yes....

just a few glitches.

1.some cm settings need a reboot to take effect. ie.lockscreen

2.calls you have to set to slide to answer

3.as above ....menu button intermittent

But every thing far as...sms/mms,gps,cam/camcorder,browser,Wifi,BT.,Tethering,hdmi,etc

works awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
ok screenie.

cause cougar still got it going on with this rom.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
one mo lol...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
The incall ui touch off (unchecked) will make the menu key answer the calls and turn off any onscreen answering buttons. By default that setting is on, i'll look at defaulting it to off. My guess is the menu key is not switching back properly to it's normal function. But give me steps to reproduce it.

Fixed some stuff in the init thanks to Hashcode for the motorola fixes. This should make the setting stick.

It's all in the ramdisk, so all updated kernels. I'll update the other kernels later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
ok...so I can't give a definite way to reproduce menu button freeze, but

it usually happens after a power button/vol.button screen turn on.

However,I have set holo launchers menu button remap to -menu-

thus, long pressing menu button will pop it up.But,

menu doesn't work on apps or browsing, which forces you to,screen off/on.

note it also doesn't matter whether screen is of for a lengthy or short peroid of time,cause it usually works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Don't know if a logcat will help you or not but ill try to get you one soon.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Cougar, since you are not experiencing this and since there has been very few people who report the intermittent menu/back buttons, would you care to share your primarily important settings with us so that we might be able to replicate a fix for the time being?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
I'm uploading a build 4.2 with the new v5 kernel.

Prior to this, i boot into twrp 2.3.1, use th3Bill's wiper, flash 4.1 build rom, flash v5 kernel, flash gapps, then reboot.

Here's my personal settings.

Have wifi always on, UV by -50mV, max clock 1000, max clock screen off 800

settings/CM settings/calls/back button ends call .. uncheck

settings/CM settings/calls/menu button answers call ..uncheck ... this causes no answer button during a call if left on. So turn it off otherwise answer via the menu button.

settings/CM settings/display/screen off animation..uncheck..this one might be the cause of the screenkeys not being responsive unless you power the screen off/on.

interface tweaks /statusbar tweaks/tinybar expanded turned off

interface tweaks/tablet tweaks/Navigation bar .. uncheck... i don't use it.

Settings/sound/audible touch tones...uncheck if you get double touch tone sounds using the keypad during a call.

And add a check to

settings/CM settings/calls/allow incallUI touch

settings/CM settings/application/use internal storage if no sdcard.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Cougar, you're not experiencing any of the problems previously mentioned?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
And did the changelog shed any light on the matter? I looked through it but cant find any solid issues unfortunately. Finding an error that an application is causing is easy peasy. With something such as this, im not 'entirely' sure what I am looking for.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
The prior problems of settings not saving or taking affect are solved with the new v5 kernel. Theme changes will stick on a reboot now, UI changes will change instantly like lockscreens.

But i'm trying to recreate the intermittent menu button bug. I even installed holo launcher, and all my buttons were responsive. Only difference I'm doing is using the other gapps from my cm7 thread. http://www.mediafire.com/?c95iicwc6d7uwas
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
What's the difference between the gapps? Why did you chose one over the other?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
At the time it had the latest market, but it gets upgraded automatically. That is all that is changed in that gapps. Official gapps should work just as fine. I just use it b/c it was always on my sdcard.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Cougar, I have found the cause for the intermittent menu/back buttons. It only occures when you have Volume Rocker Wake enabled in Cyanmobile settings/input. Turn that option on and you will most likely find that you can reproduce the bug.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
Thanks for finding that. Now I can replicate it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Not a problem, anything I can do to further this rom. Its just so stable and customizable not to mention the insane battery life. Hats off to you and the cyanmobile team. Allow me to share my setup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Are saying that if Volume Rocker Wake is off, there are no remaining issues with this ROM and it is perfectly stable? ( Say, "yes"... ;) )
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Yep! At least for me! This will be my daily driver until our jellybean roms get their kernel source (if ever).
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Awesome, thanks! Have you used Peetr's ROM? If so, how would you compare the two?
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Please enlighten me on how you to that pull down to widen out :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Cyanmobile settings/interface/interface tweaks/tiny expanded bar unchecked

@jamie

Yes I'm very familiar with Peetrs ROM. On Peetrs side, you should consider that the kernel used is the latest kernel specifically build and tested by Moto for our Photon. So if unparalleled stability is what you need, Peetrs ROM can't be beaten. The tradeoff is that you cant customize much of anything, which is a big reason for that stability. With that said though, I am getting better battery life with cyanmobiles kernel (kraven 1.3uv v5) and have not had any reboots or quirks pop up so this kernel is also extremely stable.

As far as the actual ROM as concerned, the two are like night and day. I have never seen so many customization options in a ROM before now. If you take cyanogenmod, AOKP, CNA, Paranoid Android, and roll them all together into one ROM -- you'll find that cyanmobile still has more options. Its really quite daunting and its easy to get lost in all of the options you have. I've used literally every ROM ever released for the Photon looking for the right blend of customization and stability. And I've gotta say, this is it for me. Give it a try!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Well, based on that powerful response and the fact the previous bugs have been eliminated, I think it is now time for me to jump in!!! Thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
So your saying your getting better battery life with this rom + the kraven 1.3uv v5 kernel over peetr_s stock rom and kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Yes. Its probably due to the built-in Power Saver and CPU Settings features that I've tinkered with. I doubt the battery life would be as good as Peetrs without first setting those up how you like em.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Which options did you choose?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
How is the Wi-Fi on this rom? I seem to have trouble locking onto open Wi-Fi signals at times. It's very random though.

I'm on peetr_s hybrid rom but I've had the same issue on Cybiks cm7
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
@jamie

Max frequency: 1100

Max frequency screen off: 456

Screen off data/sync/wifi: Off in15 minutes of inactivity

Various list of profiles I use on all roms. Ill share those too if you're interested.

@equalizir

I had those problems on Peetrs, stock, and CM7. Scan interval is set to 90 seconds on this ROM. If it doesn't reconnect immediately if does after 90 seconds. But I havnt had a problem with it not reconnecting immediately on this rom. I always set my scan interval to 60 seconds in buildprop. Hurts battery slightly but not too much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Cougar, facing another problem. This ones a biggie. I was doing a sort of a stress test on the ROM today. Drove with GPS and Pandora going for 4 hours straight today. Had my first reboot. Except it wasn't a reboot, it just turned off. And no the battery wasn't very hot believe it or not. Upon the phone booting back up it would get past the boot animation and the screen would just go blank but remain on. After a battery pull it came back on and booted fine but seemed as if it had a rough time drawing the screen. Any reboot after that was a 50/50 chance on if it would actually boot to lock screen or not. A cache/dalv wipe fixed it but upon rebooting a couple hours later to test it would happen again. Not sure why, I'm looking into it. I'll get you a log cat though if I can recreate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, that is a big issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Haha I would say I spoke too soon, but I still stand by all the praise I've given the ROM. Absolute stability is something to strive for in custom ROMs and is very difficult to achieve especially in one that has so much that can break. Its a catch22. I have never come across a custom that doesn't have its issues, that's what updates are for. This ROM is still somewhat new. But I still think its got the most potential of any ROM we have right now without the obvious kernel source and libs for our 4.x based builds. The more people that use the ROM, the more people that find bugs. The more people that find bugs, the faster they get fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
I am loving all of cougers work...used his cm7.2 before this and loved the extra home screens. Any one figured out how to enable that again? I have alot of things I keep up with and tend to go widget happy...but love the launcher on here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimzp:
I have a stupid question.....how do I answer incoming calls ????? :confused:

Other than that awesome job !! :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Press the menu button. Or, if you want the onscreen UI back, go to cyanmobile settings/calls and disable Menu Button Answers Calls and enable Allow UI in calls.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
does this happen only if the phone has too much load?or does it happen randomly now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Not sure actually. After wiping the caches it booted up fine and has since went away. Have no idea why it happened. Havnt been able to reproduce even under heavy load. I do hope Cougar plans on doing some fine tuning updates to really get this thing a bit more solid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
thats very good to hear....i find this ROM very stable and fun....^_^
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:

[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
this removes the bug of getting phone memory full message?

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Don't know, never gotten the error message before. But yes, Allow App Moving needs to be enabled to move apps. And the other settings ensure downloaded apps are automatically placed in internal storage.

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Cougar, remember my earlier post where I said that the ROM wouldn't boot past boot animation? I've found that it is due to a specific setting and can be reproduced consistently. Though I am not sure what it is as there are many that could be causing it, I'm working on singling out the issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Thanks for a wonderful rom. So many options and its stable too. Only one problem i faced was that some of the old apps from google play which i was using in my CM7 is now showing as in compatible with this ROM. may not be a problem with ROM., any way will check further and update. Thanks again for a great ROM

Edit : Got it to work. Changed the LCD density to 240 and reflashed Gapps. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
while on landscape mode and turning off screen using power button gave me a reboot...anyone experiencing this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
I get a few random reboots every once in a while. One was after using the torch shortcut in the notification bar. I figure there will be a few quirks, but not enough to warrant changing ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cougarcougar:
i tried that, and got the reboot also. It's the 4.2 patch1 that does it. If you can live without screen off animations, don't flash that patch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
I think I need and unpatch...grr. love the Rom, its become my daily driver.
