!!!!I got CM7 - I got CM7!!!!! - Motorola Photon 4G

Thanks to the encouragement of a fellow XDA member (BearW815) I have finally decided to flash CM7 for the Photon. It was a adventure getting there. I already had my phone 1 click rooted - so all that remained was to unlock and install CWM. So I thought. Apparently the 1 click root and installing CWM do not jive together. So now I had to unroot and do the process all over again. The process has just been finished and chills shot down the spine to see CM7 on my photon. Not all sure what works and does not, but it is exciting to see it yet again!!! Oh how I missed you CM7!!!
Thanks to Cybik, Shabby, Mrinehart, QBKing, and BearW815 for all there help. You guys (or gals) rock and I am very appreciative. Now I have to create a quadratic class for my programming class and my phone is a huge distraction now!!!
Thanks again to you all!!!!

Glad you got working. Now go through the thread and find the few fixes you need (and I do mean a few). I only needed the mms and YouTube fix and it's running 100% now.

will do, I saw that going into root explorer and adjusting the build prop to 0's. The one thing I am having a problem finding is how to sync account, and I am not able to find how to get Market installed - any suggestions??

Search xda for the newer market app and try flashing that. 3.3.12 i believe

I had a brain fart - had to think back to the Hero and EVO days - there was always a seperate file for Market - thanks to you both - I have it installed - downloaded themes - I'm doing everything except my damn homework - Damn you CM7.

Android 2.2 style Market app on Vibrant (.APK file attached)

I take NO credit for this! This is compliments of Paul over at Modaco!
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/319798/updated-2-2-style-market-for-android-2-1/
Root not required - I just installed on Stock. Gives you the functionality of auto-updating just like in Froyo.
When installing you will be notified that this is a system app, and asked if you still want to install. Let it!
Im away from my laptop for a week. Can you post the apk for me. I can't download from this link thanks

The auto update check box is there when you click on an app its at the top right of the app. Of course I'm scared to try it because that takes all the fun out of clicking the box that says "Update All"
Thanks, works great, missed the update all option I used to have on CM6 on my G1, now I got it back.
Thanks! Love the way how the search works... real-time suggestions as you type.

Google Voice for XOOM, Maybe nook?

On Droid-Life. (someone please post link) i found that someone on the xoom forum got Google Voice to work.
I was trying what they posted a few days ago, using titanium backup, and now I tried this. Both with no luck.
Try it out on your nooks, maybe someone will have an idea or get it to work. Currently mine freezes in the setup on the page about configuring your voicemail. it wont work, and I try to skip and it freezes. anybody else try yet?

Aren't a lot of apps broken or screwy in HC?

I got my Evernote download to finish after several tries, and even downloaded a couple games. I'm not sure, but someone who hasn't updated yet should test their market right now. Could there just be an overload due to a bunch of people rushing to try the new market?

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!

[app] Onlive now in market

Pink here as well. It seemed to be pretty fast from what I could tell.
App started up and I was able to log in fine. Then the onlive video started and i got to the main menu. (Everything was pink hued) scrolled through a couple menu's and then the app froze. Not seeing any free games form logging in with my phone either. Will be cool if they fix it!
