Turns out the mobile network settings crash has to do with the language. If the language is set to any other than English (US) then when going in the mobile network settings the phone.apk crashes.

Workaround: if you need to change network settings like roaming or APN, temporarily switch language to English(US).

thanks for the report, what about the slide keyboard detection problem? Did you find any workaround on that ? Is the backlight working too?

I guess this would have been done by the Q-specific kernel commit...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] divie:
The keyboard is still a problem. Even now that the 31/12 version has the button settings present with backlight option, the backlight still doesn't work.

For the keyboard itself, you can type with it, but every time you touch the text input the landscape touch keyboard pops up and you have to press the triangle to hide it.

Nah. Whatsapp, messages and tapatalk all type fine I just have to press the triangle button once. Third party keyboards don't make a difference. Besides, I love the lollipop stock keyboard too much :)

Oh yea, I knew there would be very hackish stuff in there. I'm not jumping to pull his repos and try to build...

Of course, CyanogenMod12 is probably not setup for physical keyboards - nor is the build, the individual is building these for mb886...

You mean kabaldan right?

I wouldn't hold your breath for me to make any big changes, I unfortunately no longer use my Q... I miss the kb, but alas I had to get a phone for work.

I may take a crack at the keyboard issues, but the big fixes are going to come when kabaldan is finished with the kkbl moto_msm8960 devices. There's some pretty bad hacks that were deployed to get CM12 working, as was pointed out by kabaldan.

Patience, good things will come.

Anyone else having trouble getting data to work on the latest CM12 by Mijuu. I can't get it to work at all. I know it was fine with the first release.

Edit: I fixed it. Had to go back to a ROM where data was working and compare the Ting apns. Turns out the APN was messed up in the new cm12.

So everything including video and keyboard is working good with Mijuu's the latest?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] November91:
hey, so i tried out the latest cm12 as well as the latest pac rom in this thread:

the cm12 ran surprisingly smooth, i was pretty sure ill keep that for a while, until i found out i wasnt able to call or receive calls, the callui app didnt work properly. but im not very familiar with network settings (which did not crash in my case), so thats propably my mistake. it feels like it could run very good when we could get some seniors to work at it.

the pac rom was a failure for me since it didnt recognize my sim card (sim mod).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huhu1312:
i used this download https://www.dropbox.com/s/1jo78bju52wxtd2/cm-12-20150203_moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip?dl=0

should be the same like here http://www.mporting.com/downloads/

its really running excellent. the only problem i found for now is the MTP connection that not work.

I can connet as camera but u can only transfer media. but its possible to push and pull with adb :]

i have a phone with sim mod (germany) mobile data and calls are no problem.

the hardware keyboard is also working.

u only need to download gapps and u can download a software keyboard in the playstore then (e.g. google keyboard)

there will be no SuperSU. go to developer options there u can turn root on/off.

camera and video recording is working, too.

iam not sure if its a need but i installed the rom over Mokee rom (CM11 based).

its possible that u get problems if u wipe your system befor flashing. its only working as update i think
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] November91:
i installed it fresh after wiping, no problems here

edit: seems like the cm12 call interface doesnt like sliding out the keyboard while calling. the call continued, but the interface was gone with an error message.

also i didnt get xposed to work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
I suppose I'll flip the switch for official xt897 CM12 nightlies during this weekend.

It needs just a few more little patches.

I'm currently finishing tests of f2fs backported to 3.0 kernel: https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-team/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960-common/tree/cm-12.0-f2fs

It looks very well.

For the time being, I've uploaded TWRP 2.8.5.0 for xt897 (already with f2fs support in kernel) here: http://d-h.st/2e6S

EDIT: well, my yesterday xt897 CM12 f2fs test build is here: http://d-h.st/rtfw

The AsantiKeypad package with the alternative key layouts you're used to will be present in the official xt897 CM12, nightlies should start rolling soon.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
Kernel/boot.img should be compatible with other jbbl devices?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
The Asanti keylayout package in its current form is useless, since it does not provide the following:

-right shift

-alt

-ctrl

Either the CM api needs to be changed to support the change of the character maps (.kcm files), or the provided .kcm should provide the above keys. I was eyeing to make a pull request to gerrit, but I did not expect it to go through.

Edit: This reminds me, that the caps lock led is controlled by the button labelled "caps lock", not actually by caps lock (I replaced caps lock by lshift and lshift by ctrl). Small bug.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmbeach05:
Did you have issues dl'ing the ROM?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
There must be some misunderstanding.

All Asanti layouts (western Asanti QWERTY & QWERTZ, Asanti Czech QWERTY & QWERTZ and Asanti Croatian QWERTY & QWERTZ) map:

OK to CTRL

SYM to ALT

Umlauts are entered by ALT + char, CTRL + space switches between selected layouts (to switch e.g. between Asanti Czech and western Asanti map).

It works fine. Did you actually set up keyboard layouts for Physical keyboard - keypad_8960 (Settings>Language & input) and selected at least one of the Asanti layouts?

Regarding right shift - I see no value in having it on such small keypad.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
That comes down to personal preference. Capslock is totally useless for me, but rshift is not. Especially in German, which has more capitalization than English, rshift is very useful.

Entering !,@,Q,W,E,A,S,D,Z,X is annoying without rshift and reduces efficiency. :p

As far as I know, you cannot remap OK->rshift with the AsantiKeypad app, since the CM api cannot do that (or maybe it was something else, dunno, but caps->lshift, shift->ctrl, sym->alt, ok->rshift was not achievable).

Oh, another thing: With your layout you cannot use ctrl+shift (for marking text), unless you have 3 hands. :p

With ctrl and shift next to each other, you can press both with one thumb.

mh I can't get twrp 2.8.5.0 to work...

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
No problems here, my spare PQ has bootet into recovery without any problem.

Will flash nadlabaks build as soon as it's downloaded.

Just curious how CM12 is (didn't flash the chinese one before).

edit: What about a kernel which switches the cache/system partition?

For the far future it might be good to already have switched those partitions.

(Sadly my test on editing the partition table have been unsuccessful.)

edit2: Two other questions which came up in my mind:

1. What is f2fs? (kabaldan mentioned it before.) --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS

2. What is this secure storage in CM12? (Noticed it in the CM-built-in File Manager. It wants a Passwort-like protection to use it.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
Such a great news!

1. Will you set up a separate thread for this ROM, right?

2. Do we better format over our current CM11 for those official nightly? or we can fearlessly dirty-flash on it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Read item #3

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/the-l-is-for-lollipop
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
0. I'd prefer the standard android 'Move to SD card' feature working before resorting to hacks. There's currently some activity about it going on in CM code.

1. The recently merged f2fs backport kernel patches allow to switch the format of /data and /cache from ext4 to f2fs. In TWRP, there are options to change the filesystem type under advanced wipe menu (make sure to backup both /data and internal sdcard if you don't want to lose the content). F2fs seems to offer better I/O in benchmarks and more importantly better device responsiveness in real world use.

2. Funny, I completely missed this feature until you mentioned it. It seems to provide a special encrypted folder...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Thanks for the input.

To 0. Yes, I saw that feature but forgot it. (I've checked pretty every new Settings but have not kept everything in mind.)

But this still does not affect the cache but the userdata partition, doesn't it?

My primary thought was to have more cache available. (Well, I surely won't need it but it's better to worry now than later.)

To 1. I read about the last part (better performance) but did not search for any way to use that filesystem. Thanks for this!

To 2. I think it's a file manager feature. There are two ways of encrypting files (of which I think of):

- encrypted file mounted as a loop device and then use dm-crypt/cryptsetup to use it. Probably not this way because it is limited in size and gives a bad performance (because it is a filesystem on filesystem).

- encrypt every file individually. Good thing is, probably a good performance overall but bad thing, no way of accessing it outside of the device? (Probably even mtp won't help.)

Still need to test, did not took the time to.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
As for 1: If we want to change filesystem to f2fs while upgrading toward CM12, do we need to do a TWRP backup-restore or just do a clean-start from scratch ? I mean TWRP can restore from an ext4 backup toward f2fs?

I'm going to install your test build cm-12-20150213-UNOFFICIAL-xt897.zip, can I go over nightlies with this as a base?

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
[MENTION=846070]palmwangja[/MENTION], my guess is a yes, but you can simply test it by yourself.

- flash TWRP

- backup the /data partition (don't forget to save/backup your internal sdcard)

- change the filesystem (by selecting /data and go to "repair/change filesystem")

- restore those partitions

If the filesystem is back to ext4 after restoring, TWRP can't do this.

Anyway, it is recommended to only change /cache and /data filesystems.

Not for /system because you would need to change every update by hand otherwise the update formats it back to ext4 afaik. (Not tested but read.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Yes, you can restore a data backup made from ext4 file system to the new f2fs file system in TWRP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
[woops, this one can be removed, wrong topic]
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
I'm not sure what exactly have you tried, but the caps->lshift, shift->ctrl, sym->alt, ok->rshift remapping is easily achievable and works fine via AsantiKeypad app.

There's no special CM API in use by that app, btw., it's pure AOSP functionality introduced in 4.1 and later android versions.

(As my personal Play store experiment, I've published External Keyboard app there, to provide additional keyboard mappings for USB and BT keyboards the same way as AsantiKeypad does, and that app has no ties to CM. From over 200 installations, over 90 users are actively using it on various devices currently, according to the play store dev console statistics).

I've chosen to remap only the SYM and OK buttons for Asanti layouts to keep the layout as close as possible to the actual labels on physical keys while providing enough extended functionality.

As I see the demand, I may rethink that decision.

I guess I'll probably switch the conservative mappings (SYM>ALT, OK>CTRL) to the more aggressive CAPS>SHIFT, SHIFT>CTRL, SYM>ALT, OK>SHIFT.

As I don't want to clutter the keymap list with series of very similar entries, the old SYM>ALT, OK>CTRL mappings will be gone.

Unless someone speaks up and asks me to keep it...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
I really like it atm... Please keep the old mappings!

Hello,

I was previously a Windows Phone user and I'm having trouble understanding how to get the most out of my new Z3 Compact. I would like my experience to be as close to stock Android as possible.

So far I have replaced the Sony keyboard with the Google Keyboard which was a HUGE improvement. I experimented with replacing the Sony launcher with the Google Now launcher, but they were almost identical other than that the Sony launcher supports adding shortcuts, so I stuck with it.

What else am I missing out on that can easily be reverted back to a superior stock experience? Is there a guide that walks you through all this? So far I've had to figure everything out myself by reading forums and trying to figure out what all the lingo means, and I feel like I'm still missing out on things, e.g. the PIN unlock screen sucks (vibrate on keyup!). Has anyone laid out what is Sony vs. what is stock with instructions on how to fix it?

Fortunately, I haven't had any focus problems with the cameras on T-Mobile's Note 4 as others have reported.

However, the Front Facing Camera is quite depressing in which too much movement causes the pictures to come out washed out and blurry. Taking pictures on the front facing camera requires a lot of steadiness; whereas when I shoot in video mode using the Front Facing camera, the live video playback on the display turns out smooth. Do you all experience the same phenomenon with the front facing camera? I know the front facing camera doesn't feature OIS, but still wondering what going here as my previous Note did not have camera issues.
