[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] liquidmetalrob:
OK so I put on "cm-11-20140218-NIGHTLY-xt897" which is 4.4, but it doesn't work. It keeps telling me that the keyboard has crashed and so I can't type in my email address etc to log in to my Google account. So I want to go back to 4.3 but when I try putting on the stock rom I get an error. Do I have to do something else because I'm downgrading?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
If you're flashing back using RSD, possibly.

As for your issue, have you tried clean flashing? Also, who care if the kb has crashed, use the physical kb :P
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] liquidmetalrob:
The physical keyboard didn't work either. What's RSD? What do you mean by clean flashing?

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

OK, I have a bit more of an idea of what I'm doing. I understand I have to use a program called RSD Lite which looks like Odin instead of just flashing from recovery. I read another thread that talked about deleting lines from an XML file. Do I have to do that here?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
OK, the only reason I mentioned RSD is if you were using it to return to stock (you mentioned you get an error trying to flash the stock ROM).

If you hadn't of mentioned the stock ROM, I would not have mentioned RSD...

So now I'm just confused. What are you trying to do exactly?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] liquidmetalrob:
I'm trying to downgrade from a Kitkat rom that doesn't work to stock Jellybean 4.12 so I can then upgrade to Jellybean 4.3 CM10.2. It looks like I have to edit an XML file so I'm trying to find out about that.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

OK I've managed to downgrade to 4.12 with RSD so now I think I'll be alright. Thanks for all the help!

Hello,

Can anyone upload the file cm-10.2-20131205-NIGHTLY-skrilax-xt897.zip ?

Many thanks,

Guillaume.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
ConnectBot partially works, ie, supports comandline history but not tab completion. TerminalIDE on the other hand supports both (as far as I can tell it comes with its own busybox and probably uses that shell. Busybox ash shell included in the CM10.2 does not support tab completion or history navigation).

Terminal emulator can export variables but not automatically, it has to be exported manually, then it works.

Perhaps some compile time options for mksh/bash need to be enabled for tab completion and history work?

Side notes:

Device can get quite hot on cm10.2. Battery is usually about 40°C, thermald shows max temp. was 56°C. So it is probably battery related.

If you get errors while trying to update/install from playstore delete your google account and create it again. Then it should work.

Youtube crashes on start but simple reinstall fixed it for me.

Overall, seems quite nice and stable :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Just noticed no GPS icon in status bar.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Actualy, the battery is not overheating, all is fine after a reboot. It was hot outside today, perhaps it contributed, maybe media scanner got stuck again... My fault, sorry.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
Hi does anyone know how to stop all these force closes out of nowhere. I have to restart my phone every time just to be able to use my apps.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
I had none (upgrade from cm 10.1). Have you wiped caches?

You could try to wipe data for the offending apps.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
I fixed it now. But it was doing it with every app. I had upgraded from 10.2 8/6 build. So I did a fresh install wiped all internal storage and everything but SD card n reinstalled and now it works great.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] solitarywarrior1:
I'm getting rather extreme battery drain. I was in the 8/3 build fresh install wiped everything.

It was fine yesterday, but this morning shortly after I took the phone off the charger the battery started nosediving. Even idling, plugged in, screen off, all apps closed the battery was decreasing. This is using stock moto charger.

I updated to the 8/7 build via cm updater, flashed arrrghhh's 8/4 kernel and set max cpu speed at 1350 and min at 96 with wheatley governor with no meaningful change in battery drain.

Right now I've got it charging using the 1.2A charger from my TF300T and it's finally going up. Looking at my battery stats, android system is using more juice than the screen is.

Other than the battery issue, this is a really well put together rom.

Any advice?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Comet1966:
No, it's not an ancient File Manager, it is because he went from 4.1 to 4.2/4.3. When you do this it moves your files. I had the same problem when I used the GNex.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
One weird thing regarding tab completion and history navigation is that it is malfunctioning only in root shell, if su is not invoked both tab and cursor keys work as expected (in both Terminal emulator and adb shell).

I have selinux set at default permissive mode, if that matters.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
is anyone else experiencing major battery drain on the newest 8/8 build? my phone was at 97% and i transfered a file from my sd card to the internal storage and after it completed my phones battery was at 77% the file was only bout 1gb. is anyone else experiencing this major battery drain?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
On 8-7 build on charger battery drained while watching streaming video.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] solitarywarrior1:
I've had similar issues with the 8/3 and 8/7 builds as well.

Sent from my Photon Q
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
Anyone experiencing lots of force closes on the 8/8 build? cus im getting them alot and have to restart my phone, and on top of that i just experienced a storage issue. i have 4gb of free internal storage space but when i try and install gta vice city it says cant be installed out of space please clear up space.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
When that happened to me there were 5 or 6 "0" folders. I deleted all the sub folders.

Sound but no Video in HDMI Out.

No emergency broadcasts.

With build 9-8 WiFi kicks off and on at work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fatihx:
i made a clean install. wiped and installed 9/8 nightly and arrrghhh's kernel! from 4/8.. everything works like charm.. but battery is not the best, it seems android system consumes almost 35% of battery.. i use it just normal without any oc or tweaks..

ps. i have ca. 7h battery life
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
FYI there are now OFFICIAL gapps for 4.3.

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Official builds are now rolling for cm-10.2, but I'm just too lazy now to expand the first post. :P
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
nice :D

what is the current state ?

is what is working, what not on cm10.2
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
I'm running official CM 10.2 at the moment.

Everything works very well.

There are only two things I recognized in the last hours:

1.) When WLAN is on, the device gets hot, maybe due to a huge battery drain.

2.) The screen avtivation and the device unlock has a little lag of maybe a half second.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] topherrjames:
Is the battery life getting any better on the recent builds?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I flashed from the Aug 5 nightly (CM10.1) to the Aug 15 nightly (10.2) and seems like I lost data connectivity or something. Also has the freezing issues. It freezes really bad when in the car dock and using a gps dashboard type program (gps essentials). Also freezes on firefox and chrome but thats probably more due to me having 8 tabs open in each.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Try the 8-5-13 10.2 build. Any thing newer than that I have had a lot of problems with.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fatihx:
i've tried lastly 14/08 but unfortuanetly the battery life wasn good. i got max 8h in cpu battery save mode. I am trying now new jb carbon builds it seems a little bit better. ;)

maybe battery life problem is kernel related :confused:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
So starting with build 8-12-2013 my video breaks, black screen with audio, At Bat game clips, netflix , SPB TV.

Also on installing 8-8 or 8-9 the extra 0 dir. Shows up.

Have done a clean install of a build higher than 8-12 still no video.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Just out of curiosity and mostly unrelated, what recovery are you using?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
CWM 6.0.1.3
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
epinter fixed the kernel so video decoding should be fixed with todays nightly.

Recording videos works but in Focal recordings are still rotated 270° when recorded in portrait, in landscape mode recordings are fine. Stock Camera app records normally.

Perhaps Focal is meant to be used in lanscape mode?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
So...does TRIM support really function? Anyone check yet?

Also, does the HDMI out work? Or is that only with stock ROMs?

Anyone try Miracast (wifi direect) on it yet?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Thanks for the review, how about the sound volume of recorded cllps? Isn't it too low? All CM-based Photon ROMs seemed to have this lingering problem... :(
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Audio seems fine to me.

I stand corrected about video recordings rotation (recorded using stock Camera, portrait). They are fine watched on phone but rotated 270 when viewed on pc (vlc, totem). Not sure if it's just me missing something...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Thanks

Video working even HDMI Out, now works.

Got my 1st Cell Broadcast on 10.2.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] JaceAlvejetti:
Dumb question how do I swap internal and external storage?

Edit: I don't see advanced settings in the setting menu
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Are you running official or unofficial?

It's only in the unofficial Skrilax_CZ builds... and perhaps someone else can answer, but I assume it is in 10.2.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Advanced settings were removed from official builds. My builds from 22/08 (today) will have it back under "More".
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
I'm running latest build 22/08. I can't find any options to swap storage. Data drops sometimes. I'm using cdma version and use evdo. I heard there's cdma data bug on all CM10.2 builds. It works fine for 4G/LTE.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
OK, wait for 23/08 build, it somehow uses ex-official Device settings.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
is USB audio working in CM10.2? i tried 10.1 recently but found no audio thru the car dock. which is a deal breaker for me.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that it's still a work in progress.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Doesn't work, says I have 2.5 G.B. internal free

and 17 G.B. free on sdcard .

But can't update apps reports Insufficient storage available.

Have NOT tried a clean install yet.

Should I have an option to move app to sdcard in Apps menu?

thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Thompson111:
Can you send me, apk or zip file with original Motorola Clock widget?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Even 2.5 GB free is a lotta space. The option to switch storage is under "More >> Advanced Settings", can't tell much what happens if you didn't make clean install obviously.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
how is the battery live in the current builds ?

is it near like the same as cm10.1 ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] CornholioGSM:
...search here for razr m launcher....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
FYI

On a clean install it works, BUT.....

Ever time I click use sd card and reboot, phone won't receive calls.

Even on a clean install. Un checking and rebooting does't restore incoming calls.

Will try again tonight, And take some notes.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wyvern123:
For me HDMI doesn't work with Lapdock 100. phone detects some kind of connection because it rotates its screen but lapdock screen remains black while keyboard and touchpad operates.

Any idea how to solve it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
I just installed this for the first time: nightly 08-24 over stock JB on a brand new phone. The CM boot animation has been running now for 70 minutes. Should I start to worry? I've tried redownloading and re-flashing it a few times, but I can't seem to actually get past the animation.

Any tips?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] topherrjames:
Yeah if anything, the CM boot time should be less than 10 mins the first time, not 70. Did you wipe system/data/cache before installing?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
Yes, full wipe.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you check the MD5? Is it a good download?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Try a factory reset after you flash also.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
Yep, I did that. I didn't check the MD5 but I tried downloading it a few times, both 08-23 and 08-24, so I know it wasn't just one bad download. I can check the sum tonight.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure what else would be awry.

You say it's a brand new phone and you're flashing "over" stock JB... What recovery are you using? I assume from previous posts that the device has been officially unlocked?

Have you tried the official and unofficial builds? Same result on both?

Are you downloading xt897, or xt897c? Do you have Sprint? If you have Sprint, you should be on xt897c...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
CWM 6.0.1.0.

Yep.

No, only official.

Yep, I have Sprint and I'm downloading xt897c.

I can live without CM10.2 if I have to, but I'm eager to help debug this.

Is there any way to log or monitor what's happening while it's trying and trying and trying to boot?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Does this mean it works on 10.1? You seemed to indicate 10.2 was the first thing you tried.

Yes, are you familiar with adb? adb logcat automatically does a 'wait-for-device'. If you want dmesg too (kernel logs),

adb wait-for-device shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

Hopefully it will hook up - with the new security in adb is really quite annoying, but if Android never comes up adb should work. Otherwise the only log you'll have is last_kmsg in recovery...

Edit - other people boot it fine, so it seems to be something with your device/process...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
No, I haven't tried CM10.1. By "live without 10.2" I mean "live with a stock ROM, like common people".

Thanks! I will give that a try this evening.

This is actually the second Photon Q I'm trying it on*, with the same results. So it could be my process, but I wonder how. I've flashed CM onto plenty of other devices before.

* I got the handset on Friday, tried this install and ran into the problem, then realized the device had a defective keyboard, exchanged it for a new model, and am having the same problem on the new one.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Can you try 10.1?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nitemarenet:
Is there any hope insight for the usb (mass storage/charge/etc issue needing reboot) to get fixed? I don't know if people just aren't bothering with fixing it or what but I'd have to say its one of the most annoying issues with all of the cm roms. Can I help or is there a reason no one has bothered looking at it yet?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Mass Storage won't happen outside recovery. Everything else work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Do we have support for USB OTG storage in this ROM?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
It can read my thumb drive straight from the phone.

Screwed by Google. Canceled ICS upgrade on my Moto Photon 4G.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
I finally got 10.2 official to install! Not entirely sure what did the trick. The only things I did differently were: I removed my external SD card before the first boot attempt, and I remained connected to ADB (which displayed no output at all) during the boot.

Thanks all for the help and votes of confidence!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
i am now again back on cm10.1.

the battery life on cm10.1 is better as on cm10.2 (android system os is consuming 30% auf power)

and the photon q is getting really hot while charging on cm10.2
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Is the freezing issue still present? Also I have noticed all my cm ROMs have also had low volume by about 25%
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] j_rivers:
I get A longer battery life after flashing the latest nightly.:D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huhu1312:
really nice rom ;) thanks for all your work.

i have a problem with the lapdock 500. it not mirror my screen.

my small lapdock work. thats since 4.2 someone know a way to fix it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
really nice rom, thanks!

Is there any chance we can apply this workaround we used with CM10.1 w.r.t setting 'my phone number'?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42533915&postcount=266
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] eater99999:
After my initial install hurdles, this rom is now working flawlessly!

My only issue is that in-call audio volume is pretty low, a lot lower than on the stock rom. I can't make calls outside, because I can't hear the other person over the street sounds. Is there any way to boost that?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Bluetooth tethering doesn't seem to work. Is this a known ticket ? Wifi tethering seemed okay though :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
How's everyone's better battery stats ?

I'm getting huge RILJ partial wakelocks while I'm using 3G/UMTS and this makes this phone insomnia, no deep sleep... . I suspect this might be related to the fast dormancy or something?

Not sure I'm getting this on CM10.1
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ZenInsight:
Is there a cap on tether? On stock using Trev-e, I cant seem to get download faster than .72 (less than a meg) even though my 4G is 7 megs. My upload is around 2mb. Is there something that limits me on stock that Cyanogen does not? Anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
I wasn't even able to get my stock JB to do tethering on 3G/UMTS network. That thing on stock looks like only for CDMA. Not sure about how it performs on CDMA sad ti say. One of the reason why I choose CM over stock just fyi.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Benni:):
Hi, first of all, thanks for the great ROM :)

Little Bugreport: on the current nightly 01.09.2013 a long press of the camera-button opens both gallery-camera and focal.

There is no chooser

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Also extended shutdownmenu dose not work. Shows only shutdown. No reboot/ reboot to recovery etc.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Somehow the quick actions from status row are gone/replaced by less pretty/bigger frames. Why is this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
The advanced reboot menu must be enabled via developer options. Tap the build number under "about" 7 times to access the developer options menu.

There's a setting for those quick actions. I think it's under "interface".
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
I do have enabled dev options, and also set "advanced reboot menu" to true. But if i press power button only shutdown is avaible.

Also under interface -> notification drawer I only can set tiles and layout or "link with quicksettings" before it was a different/smaller kind of actionbar. Now the tiles I want are much bigger and won't fit on one page.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
So, when you hold the power button you don't get this:

And then after hitting "reboot", the following:

?

I know the "reboot" alone is standard even without the advanced reboot enabled.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
This is all i see. Neither i activate advanced reboot menu or not. ( "ausschalten" is german for shutdown)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Settings -> Buttons -> Power menu

Things have been reorganized on CM side.

And yes, the new notfiication drawer icons are not good, previous ones were better (imho).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Ah... found it. Thank you for the hint!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmattern:
I flashed the 20130309 this morning and noted what seemed to be higher battery consumption than I usually do. I don't have any real system metrics to support, just my perceptions. I have loaded arrrgghs latest kernel, set the minimum speed to 96MHz, the max to 1512MHz and the governor to ondemand. The phone seems to spend more time running at the higher speeds that on the previous build. The OS consumed 43% of the battery over the course of the day and the system another 18%. What, if anything, can I do to help with this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Why did you pick ondemand for the governor? I think there are better governors...

But regardless, did you check your wakelocks make sure something wasn't keeping your phone up? I forget the app, but there's a spiffy app that helps you determine this...

Here it be. There's probably others too :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmattern:
To be honest, I can't remember why I chose ondemand, it was some time ago and seemed to make sense at the then. I'm open to suggestions there. Thanks for the suggestion on the app. I've installed it and will give it a go.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Anyone still use 3G CDMA data? Last time I flashed CM10.2 the evdo data seemed unstable. I'm thinking to give it another try if it's been fixed now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
mrvek (or anyone else, indeed): please test the cm-10.2-vsync-non-adreno kernel branch:

https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-tea..._msm8960-common/tree/cm-10.2-vsync-non-adreno

It should finally fix the display tearing issue that has been present from the start of cm-10.1 development for Q.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
I use 3G CDMA data quite often, haven't noticed any issue.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
What build are you using? Last time I tried was 20130825 and the 3G always lost sometimes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
20130831
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
Why isn't it implemented in the cm build by default. I think its aknown and horrible bug. Just wondering.:rolleyes:

It's the reason why I'm not switching to CM. Ok, the Battery drain issue does bother me as well..
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
... maybe it is not yet as stable as planned? Also I did not experience a (big) difference in battery life at all. If there is a huge drain it is associated to mobile data/ modem-driver problems I would think.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Well, I figured out the cause and fixed the tearing only yesterday. The changes have to be tested on all other devices that share this kernel. While Photon Q, Atrix HD and Razr M use command mode display panel, Razr HD uses video mode display panel. That's an important difference.

While it works fine on Photon Q, an issue on Razr HD has been already reported. That has to be resolved first.

Only then it can be merged to the main 10.2 kernel branch.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Good explanation. Sometimes it's difficult to understand the "why" behind decisions made - but there's usually a good reason :good:

Caution is always best when it comes to stuff like this, especially when the kernel is shared across so many devices.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Razr M too? I thought it has same display type as Razr HD (not AUO).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Yes, the Razr M panel maker is not AUO but SMD (like the panel for Razr HD), but in the case of M it's command mode panel.

Command mode panels:

Razr M - mipi_mot_cmd_smd_qhd_429.c

Photon Q - mipi_mot_cmd_auo_qhd_430.c

Atrix HD - mipi_mot_cmd_auo_hd_450.c

Video mode panel:

Razr HD - mipi_mot_video_smd_hd_465.c

So Razr HD uses the mdp4_overlay_dsi_video path, while all others the mdp4_overlay_dsi_cmd path...
