My own derp ("old builds" wiping script accidentaly wiped them).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolficus:
update - switched nightly and now the phone mic works again.

all is well.

was just a strange issue all around...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
Is there any solution for this problem?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Just a quick question:

Is it known that cm otas not work anymore?

At lest i did not recive uppdate notification since 28.07. Even if I try tu force update the today one (01.08.) Is not shown.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
I was making changes in the system recently (due to setup for CM10.2). Will fix today (along with the build time).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
CM10.1/CM10.2 for Photon Q is now official. The following things will not be present in official builds:

- multipress (works only in some apps)

- cardock hack

- volume orienation awareness at lower level (for apps using NDK)

- 4 key navigation bar setup improvements (WIP, pending review)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Sweet. This right here, is great news.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
- ability to specify SIM id and own phone number via persist.radio.iccid and persist.radio.msisdn properties
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Awesome! Hard work pays off. Thanks a lot to Razr Qcom Team!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Is it normal for the boot logo to last a long time on the first install? Been booting up for about 2 or 3 minutes now... On the 7/31 nightly build.

Probably another bad download by me....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
The first boot will always take longer than usual.

How much longer, I never really timed it...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Anyone here who could answer if device encryption on cm10.1/cm10.2 works? And how one can update cyanogene mod on encrypted device?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] harryspar:
Voice Notifications Broken

Since about 7/30/13 Google Voice notifications don't show in the statusbar.

Does anyone know if it's related to the ROM or some other bug?

(All my usual Google Voice app settings have not been changed and are correct.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Perhaps related to Voice+ being integrated...?

I think that is now part of the ROM, and you might want to look into how this is configured. I haven't played with it myself yet, I need to :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hfase:
Check the "sync and notification" settings in G-Voice also.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] harryspar:
[MENTION=420530]arrrghhh[/MENTION] Yep, I think it's Voice+ doing the damage.

[MENTION=5061691]hfase[/MENTION] I did that.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Official builds are rolling:

GSM: http://get.cm/?device=xt897

CDMA: http://get.cm/?device=xt897c

Please see OP for the difference between my builds and the official ones.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
I noticed, that I don't get any freezes in landscape if I enable "Show CPU usage" (Developer options).

It is pretty annoying, but as the phone doesn't freeze anymore, I'm ok with this.

Build: 10.1-20130729-NIGHTLY-xt897-skrilax

I'm updating now, but I'm sure the problem persists.

I have also issues in landscape with "Super Hexagon" (from one of those Humble Android Bundles).

I have kind of ghosting or the screen "isn't fast enough". Kind of annoying and not a nice experience. (With the option above enabled and disabled.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Next nightly (mine) will have the ability to use SD card as primary storage (instead (for downloaded game data etc.), see Advanced Settings. This feature is experimental.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Wow..this is what I've been waiting for! I've been going back to stock ROM because of this. Next nightly should be tonight,right?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Are your builds going to continue to pop up in the OTA updater?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Yes, you will see my own nightlies in OTA updater if you're on my build.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Using the latest build by Skrilaz. Everything runs great. Storage can be swapped now. Proximity sensor bug still exists. Other than that,everything works without glitches. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] abbie7:
Thanks for the great ROM. I have found one issue. When my phone is connected trough my cardock by bluetooth, the phone freezes when i'm trying to make a phonecall and goes to unlocked bootloader screen..

Is there a solution for this? Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
Will you sent changes like this upstream after some time or will you leave this on your own builds?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
:good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Hey guys - Skrilax - I can't get the download to work. Do I need to download something in addition to the nightly download or will the nightly itself suffice as the main and only download? Like, do I need to download the original file and then the nightly?

I keep trying the latest nightly and I can't get it to boot up. I have tried the 7/30, the 7/31, and the 8/2 nightly.

I thought I had download problems with the first two so I downloaded the 8/2 nightly at home on my wifi with no problems.

But when I went to flash it today from CWM, it just hangs at the CM boot screen forever. Like longer than 10 minutes. Same as the other downloads. Then my back ups are always not found or corrupted somehow. So I have to re-flash the FZX every time. Such a hassle.

Is there a really, extremely specific procedure or do I have something unique going on? TIA

Sorry for the confusion.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Sounds like something unique.

Do you get any errors when it flashes?

Have you tested your CWM backups before, they restore OK?

Did you md5sum the downloads, to make sure they were good?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I dont know where to get MD5 sums for these nightlies. Also I don't know how to install each individual sum besides unzipping in CWM?

Some of my backups restored ok. I think the backups are failing because they are backing up on internal storage for some reason. Probably user error, not completely related to the CM install failing. But worth mentioning.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I... am baffled by this statement. Whether you are downloading from the official nightlies, or from Skrilax_CZ's website... they both have clearly labeled MD5's next to each download.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
The MD5 sums are in the zip or what? I dont understand. I am a novice.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I took screenshots to show you even.

The MD5 is right next to the download. You download the .zip file, and then verify the download with and md5sum generator. Compare the md5 you get locally to the one provided from the mirror - make sure they match. If they don't DO NOT FLASH.

WinMD5 is what I use on Windoze.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Thanks for the info. The sums match on my 7/31 build. I think I will try it again and report back.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Ok, its been on the CM boot screen for 10 minutes now.... He has a disclaimer about checking the file system can take longer.... but 10 minutes?

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Ok, here is what pisses me off. The CM fails (30 minutes on boot logo). Then my restore (curiously dated from April 15 1970 each time) also fails. It hangs at "bootloader unlocked" screen. When I try and do an advanced restore, the MD5 sums are off. So no restore is possible. I have had to flash my FZX file about 10 times in the last week because of this. Each time I have to completely re-program the phone and I lose all data. At least its easy to re-flash and do motochopper and motopocalypse. Any chance Motochopper or Motopocalypse are causing issues?

Again, this is a recycled phone... is there some way they disabled this stuff in the hardware or firmware? The CM boot logo still appears but it never proceeds past it. My MD5 sum for the 7/31 nightly was a good match.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
OK, be honest with us and yourself - did you really let it sit for 30 minutes, or did it just feel like 30 minutes? The first boot does take a while. I don't think 30 minutes, but maybe 10-15, I never really timed it.

I've never used motochopper or whatever that other one is, so I have no clue if it affects it. Maybe someone else can chime in here, mine was officially unlocked from day 1 thru the regular method.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rileysmith:
I believe you used the same root + unlock method that I did because I also couldn't unlock the official way. I had no issue flashing CM 10.1 onto my phone (I used last night's official build) and the first boot only took a couple of minutes for me.

I wish I had a solution to help you out, but unfortunately all I can offer is that unlocking probably didn't screw things up for you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Did you make sure to run a factory reset from your recovery before flashing?

Have you tried flashing a different recovery, such as TWRP?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
No, I didn't see that in the instructions. I wiped the phone before flashing. I didn't go into AndroidOS and actually reset the software.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You factory reset in recovery... Factory reset wipes /data (without wiping /data/media, or the internal SD), cache and dalvik-cache.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Flash FXZ, then right after that reboot into bootloader and flash recovery via fastboot ("fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"). Either TWRP or my OpenRecovery. Reboot into recovery and flash CM10.1 from there.

Rooting the phone via hack is intended only for locked bootloaders - once you're unlocked (doesn't matter how you unlocked), avoid them. It's like eating soup with fork. The proper way is to flash the recovery from fastboot and then root via recovery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Ok. Thanks for the help. I followed your instructions. It still gets stuck at the CM10 boot logo. I even used Open Recovery (nice work).

Keep in mind, my recovery is sticking, but I just can't get the CM install to take.

Questions

- after flashing the FZX should I hard reset into fastboot to flash recovery BEFORE it sets up any services or anything? Or should I let some services set up and then boot into fastboot?

- after flashing recovery in fastboot should I root via recovery before installing CM10? (I assume yes and I have done so)

-after flashing recovery in fastboot I do a physical shutdown to get into recovery. is this ok? I dont know any other way.

- is it weird that I get the "(fastboot) variable not supported!" code during my fastboot flash recovery operations? what does this mean?

- do I need to wipe cache, dalvik, or do a system reset before and after flashing CM10? should I do it before and after every operation?

I just feel like either A- my hardware is an early/different configuration (recycled phone), or B- Sprint did something to disable custom roms on the recycled device, or C- I am missing a step or something in the instructions.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks again for your continuing patience.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Well the exact steps that should make it work from the beginning:

1) Flash JB FXZ (doesn't matter if it boots or not)

2) Reboot to bootloader

3) Flash custom recovery

4) Reboot into recovery

5) Flash CM10.1 from recovery

6) Wipe data / cache

7) Reboot into CM10.1

This should be enough, it will take some time on the first boot (could be < 3 minutes). Otherwise we'll need logs. Also do not forget that it's nightly builds, so the build could be bad. I have built it on 5th August, so that one should work well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
At what point do I root via the Super SU.zip in recovery?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
You don't, CM10.1 already contains root access.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
I'm going to add to what Skrillax_CZ said here. You never want to use SuperSU with CM. Installing it will cause force closes for almost every app because it conflicts with the root app that is built into CM.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i have a problem.

i am on the unofficial build from 06.08.2013 and if i play games or in menu i have some slightly lines, like the picture is cut. it is like vertical sync is missing. i hope you know what i mean.

its exactly like this:

http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/a...at-es-mit-v-sync-zutun-screen-tearing-001.jpg

only not so extreme.

and while playing some games, so about 5-10 minutes my phone "freezes".
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
Have you tried an official build? Is there a difference?(I doubt it)

I'm just interested because I had this problem too, but now my phone is being modded so I cannot try out.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
nope, same problem on officiel builds from cyanogenmod webpage, as on unofficial builds from skrilax.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Hey guys, I got it working..... believe it or not, CM started right up once I ........................... unplugged the phone from the computer. D'oh!

I am loving CM now. It has came a long way since the early builds.

Just a few things I am looking for:

Apps to SD card. How does this work? Is there any transferring or only new app downloads go to the SD card?

Update PRL? Update Profile? I think I read somewhere that those settings are disabled, hidden, or sprint OS only? Just wanted to verify because I think those two features come in handy.

Also I guess my Smart Actions are no longer available but Tasker should be able to handle the job, no?

Lastly, it would be nice for quiet hours to include options for days of the week.

Thanks for everyone who helps and responds to my dumb posts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Apps to SD card should be solved now. Check Settings --> Advanced settings. Patch mentioned here, it's only in the unofficial Skrilax_CZ builds for now.

Update PRL/Profile/ETC should be done on stock ROM, as the OP states.

Tasker should be replace Smart Actions and then some. I think there's another free one too, I don't use these tho.

Quiet hours is a CM feature... This is just a port of CM.

Enjoy.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Always keep a stock backup/stock FXZ on hand for profile/PRL updates. If you think the PRL needs to be updated, call Sprint tech support and ask what version of PRL you should be on, they'll tell you and you can check that vs what your phone says under status.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
have anyone an idea how to solve the issue with games ?

this problem with vsync and freezing displays while playing games
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
As CM10.1 is nearing completion I decided to finally try it out today. Almost everything went smoothly. Unfortunately without the car dock audio fix, the OS is useless to me. I spend all day in my car and rely heavily on my phone for gps, music, etc. while driving. Please let us know when the usb audio works so I can hopefully upgrade again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Unfortunately, I'm really busy most of the time and it won't change anytime soon.

The support for USB audio analog out will still take some time.

For the time being, use builds by Skrilax's buildbot to have audio routed at least to speaker or headphone output when in car dock. With official CM nightlies, there will be no audio output at all when the phone is docked.

I've made some audio related progress nevertheless - besides other fixes, the call recording should be working fine when using cm-10.1-audio kernel branch:

https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-team/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common/commits/cm-10.1-audio

There's a lot of commits (I'm trying to get the sound/soc/msm code as close as possible to caf 3.4 kernel), so there will be some testing necessary before it can be merged to the main cm-10.1 and cm-10.2 branches.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
Thank you for the information. The audio work arounds will not work for me. I will wait patiently for USB audio to get figured out. If a tester is needed, I use usb audio everyday. especially on work days. Keep up the great work and thanks again for all your efforts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hijkl:
which build is recommendable...???

I am a bit confused now as I do not know which build is - for me, as just a user - recommendable, the official one or Skrilax's...???

And will in the future Skrilax's build be "overtaken" so to speak by the official one as the latter is developed more intensively...???
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
It works, but is annoying.

My phone hangs pretty often in landscape, so I don't disable it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Read the OP. Skrilax explains the differences there.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
From the OP

Other than that the builds are the same. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) those audio fixes kabaldan mentioned are not publicly available as a part of a rom or kernel update (you'd need to build the kernel yourself to use it).

Basically, Skrilax_CZ's nightlies are more complete/better.

[MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION]: would you have some time to explain what exactly is fixed in your cm-10.1-audio? (btw., it merges nicely with cm-10.2 (latest, 3.0.90) and works as well but I have no clue what changed :o)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Loader009, pujdo1: Can you please suggest a free app available in the Play market plus a procedure that would allow me to quickly and easily reproduce the freezing in landscape orientation?

I'm aware of the tearing in landscape and it's rather high on the to-be-fixed-list (though it's far from an easy task without involving a digital oscilloscope connected to internal pins and full understanding of the non-public mipi dsi standard).

While the tearing is more or less an aesthetic issue, freezing is much more severe. There may already be a fix for it, but I need some easily repeatable test for this issue first.

mrvek: Mainly the call recording. Though the InCall recorder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grinzone.incallrecorder ) I tested most is not yet compatible with Android 4.3. But other call recording apps should work as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i had never a freezing, only the tearing problem.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
I play the following game quite often -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fmcstudio.hexagon

But I was not able to reproduce it in some exact movements.

Earlier I was able to play a session without a freeze.

After I closed it (completely) and opened it, I got a freeze after some minutes of playing. (Only if I did something.)

The game is not battery friendly made (3D software, unity for a 2D game?), so the phone gets pretty hot.

I play this game nearly each day, so I can test if you need it.

I'm aware of nandroid and RSD, so this shouldn't be a problem.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Hi!

I get this freeze with mmany apps in landscape mode. Yesterday i tried to navigate wit osmand (@playstore avaible free). Also I did get it with google current while reading news, or using firefox while browsing. Mostly it takes a while to happen and it dose not happen regulary. But yesterdays osmand navigation was a pain in the ass becaus after the first freeze it froze every few minutes.

The freeze duration is somewhat between 30 s up to a few minutes. Whle the screen freezes i could here (old) voice navigation from osmand. Somtimes toggleing powerbutton for some time one can recover the phone. Sometimes there will be the message "xyz" did crash would you like to wait or stop execution. Clicking wait will almost get u back to the last used crash which wll the run (for a while) without problems. Sometimes this message dose not appear.

I am unsure if this problem is caused by heat, or much load, because reading news on currents or feedly dose not seem to be very heavy tasks.

Will any catlog after freeze use any good?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Here is a catlog after different hangs in landscape:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Battery life is average. But it drains a lot if I use a live wallpaper. Anyone notice it?

Btw,I can't find volume rocker wake options.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Clear data for the offending app.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
Thanks mrvek

and the problem of attaching a satellite and GPS.

m.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
As has been stated before, you either need to flash the JB soak, or restore a stock backup, get a GPS lock, then flash CM10.1 again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micron:
but one problem not found stock JB for sprint phone.

i found onli for us celler.

m.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I guess I must spoon feed you.

This is directly from the buglist on my CM10.1 thread:

I also gave you another option which does not require you to flash the soak. Please read my posts and do a bit of research before responding, thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
I can confirm this solution!

Just restored an old backup of the last stock 4.0.4 version, waited some seconds for a GPS fix, directly restored back to CM10.1 and GPS now also works on CM10.1!:good::laugh::D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
It could simply be that CM10 screws something in GPS ... and CM10.1 then isn't able to fix that.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Funny remark by Steve about GPS (though slightly unrelated to our case):

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/36410

:D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
That could be possible. I also had CM10 running on my Photon Q before.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

:laugh:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] MFighter:
confirming this, it works! came from ASA14, just used google maps to get a lock with the gps and then flashed cm10.1!

thanks a lot!

Is anyone else having a high pitched noise while making calls though? Had this with cm10 as well, not with stock...

It's like a little high pitched cricket in the background....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turbo180:
I'm also having that high pitch whine, same as with cm10. I have flashed first cm10.1 nightly right over the cm10. I can also confirm problems with GPS not getting the lock.

Now I'm back on stock asa14 from backup, waitng for OTA JB update. Already got it on my girlfriends phone yesterday (it's been on stock asa14 all time). However still no OTA update on mine since I've reverted back to stock yesterday night.

Does anyone know which rooting method works on stock JB update?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
You do not need the JB moto update.

I only flashed back to ICS (4.0.4) as said three posts before, waited for GPS fix (for example with Google Maps) and then flashed back to my CM10.1 backup. Then GPS also worked on CM10.1 for me. MFighter confirmed this, just try it.;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turbo180:
There is one thing fixed with official JB update for GSM:

- manual network selection now works
