I just noticed the no email client today lol not sure how I could have over looked it. I'll add a flashable add-on this evening and it will be in the next update!

Edit:

I've added the files for the email client and like I said later this evening I'll have a flashable zip for it. K9 Mail is a good email client too thanks for the links and reference guys!

Here is the link to the signed zip to add the Email app. It is also linked in post 3
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
K-9 mail is great for both corporate and personal email accounts.

Sorry to be off topic, but haven't u guys learned, in all the years we've been with android now, not to take ota's? I guess u can't help it if u bought the phone that way though.

On a lighter note, thanks OP for all ur hard work on this rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i juz had a random reboot after watching a video on the with my phone ..lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Good to know I'll try to reproduce but if you can send me a logcat that would help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Im getting soft reboots consistantly usually after a call or reciving a call it will reboot as well as when it rotates too much. Ill get hard reboots when watching any videos. I'm gonna pull a logcat right now too
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Thanks for the info I'll see what I can do!

Couple of questions

1 Using GSM or CDMA?

2 Stock Kernel or Custom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Stock kernel and cdma
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Thanks for the info. I'm running some test now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'll pull a logcat once i get another random reboot....i'll keep you posted....
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
How would you like for me to send this logcat

EDIT: DROPBOX FILE

[Motorola Photon 4G] Cooldevil1989:
Oh... u mentioned stock kernel that means this ROM works with stock kernel...

If yes then with locked bootloader I can install your ROM...by skipping kernal installation ...

Is it possible.....????:rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
By stock I meant the one that came with the rom itself not one installed afterwards, sorry for the confusion. Anything based on CyanogenMod has to be able to flash the kernel. Good luck!
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'm running on the ROM stock kernel now and see if those random reboots i mentioned may have come from the custom kernel....will observe for a day and post results....
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Still running stock and I get it. Mostly soft reboots problem is since it goes through with the soft reboots I have an issue pulling accurate logs :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
hhhhmmmm....did you wipe everything before you flashed?system, cache, data, factory reset, dalvik cache and battery stats(optional).
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Came from ics performed a full wipe and even used the good ol wipeallphoton.zip to have that extra run at it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
now that you mentioned it..i'm also having reboots..like when i used landscape mode with stand out..and one thing more, i cant seem to run properly the auto memory killer..it often FCs when i run it..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I've experienced a couple of em too. Will try for a logcat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'm new to logcat and i don't know how to read it so how will i know in what part is the FC so i can post it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Thanks for the heads up on the kick stand, I don't use it and didn't think about testing it. I'm working on that issue right now. I think the soft reboots are related to the video driver but not 100% sure, trying to figure out why CM7 works smoothly but this rom has issues.... Not making sense...
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i will post here on what ever i encounter with this ROM so you can have a fix....i kinda like this ROM so its bad to let it go to waste..^_^
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
If you can get the full logcat to me that would be great, use pastebin and either post the link (if xda lets you) otherwise you should be able to PM the link to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
I did experience a reboot after a half-hour video call with Skype. I couldn't recreate it again. That was the only reboot so far. So it could be indeed the video driver
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Unable to send mms for some reason...just keeps saying sending and never sends...

I'm running cdma btw...
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
That's odd, I figured that would work out of the box. I'm on GSM and it works well for me, Are there any other CDMA users that are having issues with sending MMS?

tony442: Did you wipe before coming to this rom? Are you sure your mobile data is turned on? Does MMS work if you use GoSMS?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Yes I did a full wipe before installing the ROM and gapps... yes mobile data is turned on because I am able to use the play store and able to receive mms on occasion but it's hit and miss really, sometimes I get them sometimes it just keeps saying downloading or failed... with the new Go SMS said only sends my mms as a link other than that I have no other way of testing mms... any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly be appreciated as this is my absolute favorite wrong to date on the photon and I've tested all of them:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
This is a shot in the dark but worth a try to get it to work correctly. Here is a link to a free app to edit your build prop. Find the line ro.telephony.default_network it should be set to 0 by default (World) try changing that to a 4 and then reboot your phone. idk that this will help but it will tell it to only look for CDMA networks. Keep me posted! Thanks for the kind words about the Rom glad you are enjoying it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
im on CDMA i had to use go sms and manually add in in the APN info to get it to send/receive mms, also your doing it wrong, go SMS has 2 options on how to send, via their servers or via picture, double check again, all i did was add go sms in the list, added the needed info go to settings>advanced>mms settings>APN config> then fill apn manually, sprints stuff is

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms

and MMS PORT: 80

you dont need a proxy
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Can these be edited directly from build.prop or *#*#4636#*#*?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
Does anyone know if HDMI mirroring is working? I seem to remember cybrik has not bothered to fix it...all the other roms out have it but would be great to have another cm7 based rom that has it to!
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
This doesn't have landscape HDMI just portrait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Possibly if I remember correctly through the buildprop
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Ok...go SMS sends and recieves fine so I'm guessing it has to do with my apn 's? Any help towards editing these would be great :D

Btw I'm on cdma with sprint

EDIT: found the apn edits used for cm9, used them by going to voice dialer and saying "Open APN's" and successfully can send and receive mms again :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
noticed something with the WiFi, even if you put the sleep policy to never when the phone goes to sleep mode it disconnects the WiFi..then when you turn back on the phone the WiFi has trouble connecting again..have to turn off and on the WiFi for it to connect again..

i dont know if the only ine having this problem hope you could look into this Wired..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I've noticed this on multiple roms but not this one yet. I'll add it to the list and see what we can figure out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
thanks Wired..will test more settings and see what other things i can find for you to improve this awesome ROM..

found another bug..after every reboot..the Use 2G Only doesn't seem to stay ticked..have to tick it manually ..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Cool thanks, for the heads up!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Update: To test I did a full wipe reflash the rom and gaps booted open APNs and saw that None of them were set and I had to manually set then again not a big issue just figured I would update
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Now that is just strange... I don't understand why your APNs would show up blank... What carrier do you use?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Sprint on cdma...I flashed cyanmobile and everything was fine and apns were set...but when I full wiped and flashed this build with your gapps I get cdma 0, cdma 0, ussc internet...with everything as not set except for ussc internet showing everything proper except the last two settings...once set though they keep and the phone sends and recieves faster than it ever has before :D

Also, I extracted the deskclock.apk from cyanmobile and replaced yours and everything works fine it gives me the digital clock widget :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
OK I'll take a look at my sprint APN to make sure they set correctly I'll also check out the clock you are talking about. I had a computer issue this week so it slowed down development on the ROM should be back on track now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
had another soft reboot after watching a video on the net..something wrong with the video driver i guess..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
No problems...I also extracted the mms.apk from cyanmobile since it has SMS pop up and message barrage and Morse code :D I also had to extract those apks otherwise those settings began force closing...used root explorer to push them to system/app set permissions and everything works great :D

My next goal is to get the ram bar he has in the status bar and his task switcher is a little more eye catching so I will also try that one as well...not that I don't like these apps in this rom, I just like a few of the functions of cyanmobile:thumbup: ill keep ya updated

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

I've been getting these as well but mine have happened randomly(wasn't watching video or really doing anything, besides going through my sdcards with my PC) it didn't affect the link from my phone to my PC so I just let it ride but figured I'd let ya know it happened here as well...could it be linked to the systemui.apk at all? I just noticed it was a different icon than most...and my notifications overlap my center clock, just fyi
[Motorola Photon 4G] nimzp:
nice rom ...thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Ok NM on the mms...it has more options but SMS pop up is not working so I edited a couple things and changed the build.prop before flashing and now my data is much faster and battery is lasting a little longer:D thanks for a great stable base rom :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
A couple of problems.

Groove IP on this rom does not seem to be working properly. I haven't been able to make a phone call. When I dial the number it rings normally, but as soon as the other person picks up (or if it reaches the voicemail), groove ip immediately gets disconnected and reconnected again, therefore dropping the call. I used to use it with cybik's rom, and yesterday I flashed cyanmobile to see if the issue was in the app or in the rom. It worked with cyanmobile as well. Now that I'm back with gingerdx, it still does not work. I am attaching my log.

Also, it seems like the LED does not stay on when the phone is charging. it works for notifications, but not when the phone gets plugged in.

Also, I noticed something that is not really an issue. normally, when i turn on WIFI from the notification bar button, the button in the power control widget gets turned on as well. when i do the same thing with the Location button, the button in the power control widget stays off, even tho the location actually gets turned on.

That's all i have found so far. hope it helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
have noticed something when i reboot my phone manually ..i dont know if you guys notice this but sometimes the phone setup appears after rebooting..lol..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Now thats a new one :confused: Are you talking about setting up your Google account?
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
yup....but it only appears sometimes and doesn't really go through the whole set-up....it just appears for like a sec then goes back to the lock screen....lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
the phone keeps rebooting when i use Viber. It rebooted 4 times today. :S
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i had no reboots using viber..nor any app with the same use..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Ate you using a custom kernel? I've noticed no reboots as soon as I clocked it back to 1ghz
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'm using the stock kernel that came with the ROM....i think custom kernel causes instability with this ROM....
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I've been using cyanmobile v5 1.3 UV kernel with no issues at all...
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
maybe OC causes instability..I'm not sure..lets wait for Wired to comment on this..

[Motorola Photon 4G] kingofnerds:
I too have been experiencing these Soft reboots. Randomly when I pick up the phone, I see it with the startup image. It isn't doing a full reboot because when I go to settings and about, it still shows the uptime for the phone as however long since I last rebooted the phone manually. I am using the kernel that came with the rom, I have not changed any clock speed settings or anything like that.

Also, It happened yesterday when I was installing updates from the market. After the soft reboot, the updates continued installing like normal after the wireless re-connected. And today, I was listening to music, and the soft reboot happened and the music stopped.

When the soft reboot happens, all radios seem to cycle, and the launcher reloads, but other things seem to keep going. Could it be a problem with the holo launcher?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
You may be on to something here...I have had the Holo launcher inactive since the adw update and have had little to no reboots...

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

And not to be mean...but if I waited on a dev everytime I had an issue I don't think the roms would be in the state they are today...it takes us trying and testing the roms and reporting back what we find in order for the dev to try and reiterate the issues we are reporting and possibly fixing them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'm still on Holo Launcher but i have no random reboots....i had reboots on Kick Stand was used and consistently watching videos on the net....

aside from those....all is good....
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Sorry for the delayed response, I'm having some system issues and I'm trying to fix those so I can work on the Rom some more. There does seem to be issues with the Rom and i think 99% of them have to do with the video drivers. I too get random reboots, reboots with the kick stand, and I'm still on the CM Stock kernel. I don't think custom kernels help but I don't think it hurts either.... Today I'm wiping my entire machine (except for my android partition) and reinstalling, I'm tired of trying to fix what is already installed. This will allow me to get back to work on the Rom itself.

What I'm doing is taking a vanilla CM7 and moving DX features over one by one to see if any of them are causing these issues. It is a painfully slow process but it should work. The next release will have fewer features but will be more stable :D Not sure when that release will be but shouldn't be to long.

Thanks for all the feed back and assistance with the rom guys I'm glad you all like it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
No I was using the stock kernel. But I had like only 3-4 apps installed (facebook, viber, xda, and google voice), and viber was the program I was using all day yesterday. and twice it rebooted while typing. once, it reeboted while just holding it. i assumed viber was causing it. I guess it was a coincidence.

Groove IP was still not working as of yesterday.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
Please help..

I have problem with every single photon rom with GSM.

Im entering my sim card, and going to Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks ->

and I dont have option to choose gsm in network preferences or a place to enter APN.

I cant use my phone (4 days already) :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Ps. Make sure your mobile network in the build prop is set to 0.

Are you using gsm in the US or over seas? If you are in the US be sure to flash the kidi (spelling?) Radio, you'll see the topic in the development forum. After that you should be good, if you are over seas it should work out of the box.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
thx for the quick reply.

Im using gsm over seas.

So I entered the build.prop and show those lines

#Default network type

#0 -> WCDMA preferred

ro.telephont.default_network=0

so what should i change here?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
You should be good... I'm not sure why it doesn't work... I have to go for a bit but when I get back I'll see what I can figure out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
ok thanks,

also here is the screenshot of the mobile network setting:

as you can see I dont even have the APN (Access Point Name) option in the menu

just weird as hell, Im having this problem on all photon roms out there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
At this point you may want to rsd back to stock, make sure your service works then reroot and unlock then install a custom Rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
did you download the GSM build for this ROM or the CDMA?i'm a GSM user and i dnt have those options like yours..

sent from my MoPho69™
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
yes I did download the GSM version.

but anyway I fixed the problem (well not quite)...

I do have the correct networks options in the setting.

I did sbf to factory, unlock and rooted again.

then i flashed this rom, still no luck.

but then I flashed hybrid rom (which I hate because I have problem there in active my phone and also disconnect), but I did got the correct GSM menu on this rom,

so I dirty flashed this rom on top of the hybrid.. and It worked.

but I still get disconnect from the carrier service.

BUT

I found the problem:

the problem is in the HSPA -> When the phone is connect to hspa I get disconnects.

but when I tick "use only 2g network" in the setting and getting edge, I dont get disconnects anymore.

any idea?

thx for the help,

projext
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i'm not quite sure why is that..haven't had that problem..well anyway just stay on that seetings until there is a fix..
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Have you checked your APNs?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Sorry for the slow replies. My power supply pooped out so currently I don't have a pc. It should be up and going this weekend if the power supply is the only issue.

I'm not sure why only 2g works for you does your carrier support hspa? If not that could be the issue and I'll look into a work around/fix but no promises.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
Use Voice Dialer app and say "open apns" it will then open and you.can set it.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Your carrier must not support single band 3g. I had that issue with T-Mobile, but switched to net10 and get great speeds
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
Yes I did, I entered the correct apns, my friend have htc desire s and we are in the carrier I entered the same apns.

Yes my carrier do support hspa. thanks for the help :good:

:eek: didn't knew, thx for the information I will check that

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

Thank u all for trying to help :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure if you noticed this....or if this was a typo when you put it in here. The line should say

ro.telephony.default_network=0

If it was a typo, I apologize for the intrusion. Just figured I'd pop in my 0.02
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
So just an update...since I edited the build.prop with the Mod/Tweak for better battery life and stable data, cyanmobile v5 1.3 UV kernel, flashing my own gapps, and leaving all of the DC settings off these are my results so I flashed cm7 4.23 from cougar but edited everything just like I did with gingerdx and so far no reboots and no force closes :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
no problem just a typo.

thx anyway.

Also its a good time for my to thank you for keeping the cm10 build, I used to use cm10 but for the last few builds gsm doesn't seem to work

(2G and also 3G (but that's a problem I have with all the roms).

Thx th3bill for your hard work keeping the photon alive :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Very nice ROM. have been using from past one week. Only small issue i had was the clock in status bar will overlap with other notification as clock is at center, anyway to push clock to side? I got only option to disable the clock but not send it ti side. Thanks again for a very smooth rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 00DSoul00:
I can install this ROM on my x10 mini pro with stock kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
This rom is for the Motorola Sunfire only. I doubt it will run on any other device unless it is in the supported list in the first post. Then you need to go to that device dev forum for the download.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
It doesn't run on the Motorola Electrify? ;)

(You should say Motorola Sunfire -- that covers both Photon 4G and Electrify. Unless for some reason it does not work on Electrify, that is.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Computer is back up and running finally. Should have updates before to long but I'm basically starting from scratch. :eek: Thanks for all the feed back on the rom guys I'll try to fix what I can!

Good point lol corrected.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
Hi,

I have a weird problem with the bluetooth for the last 2 days. When ever I turn the bluetooth on it automatically turned off, and sometimes it's even reboot my phone. so no bluetooth for me. :(

Any clue why it's start so suddenly?

I'm using the bluetooth on regular base with the liveview.

Thx for the help,

Projext
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I don't have any bluetooth devices so this is difficult for me to troubleshoot. If the problem just occurred you may try wiping cache and d cache to see if that helps. I'm still working on the updates hopefully a new version won't be much longer but I have a job now so that slows things down. lol Let me know if that helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
Hi,

Thx for the help, wiping cache and d cache doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Anyaway thank you for keeping working on the rom despite your new job :)

Good luck in the new job.

and thx
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Damn, thought it might help... oh well worth a try... You said this is a new issue that you didn't have when you first ran the Rom? Do you get this issue on any other CM7 based roms?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Projext:
Nope I don't have this problem on any other cm7 based,

also I didn't have this problem running this rom till is started suddenly few days ago.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
I just switched over from the XenonHD JB rom, decided as much as I hated to give up certain features I needed stability more. The camera functions and general smoothness of this rom have been awesome. One weird thing I've noticed, a couple of the angry birds games crash right after their initial splash screens. Any fix I can do to stop this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
As of right now no fix, there are a couple other games that do it too. I think there is an issue with the video driver but don't know why it doesn't show up on CM7 rom... still working on a fix. I've had major computer issues so that has put development at a stand still. Sorry guys!
[Motorola Photon 4G] hightech316:
Would it be possible to add more jellybean framework?

GingerBean! :good:
[Motorola Photon 4G] DBLOCKWOOD:
Another thing. My play store stopped showing books and movies, and other apps it let me install yesterday, it now tells me are incompatible.
