(Q) just installed jokers skinny on locked loader - Motorola Photon 4G

I have to say I am loving it so far. Only been playing around with it for about an hour. Also love the launcher he added too it simple but functional.
My question is can the 1 percent battery mod be done to stock ROM on jokers 4G locked bootloader?

Yes it can. I believe there is a link to a fix in the thread itself.

New to this phone. And a little confused, done searches. But still. ...can some one tell me which Tom's are good to flash for locked bootloader,other than the aforementioned. Jokers rom...all the roms that state BLUR?

I believe the only locked bootloader rom currently is Joker's skinnyrom locked. There are a few mods and themes that are able to be flashed though.

Are yopu getting 4g on the skinny rom?

I am using the skinny ROM for the locked bootloader and have 4G since I am only using the bootstrap to install.. Over the course of 9 hours of idle I only lost 2 percent battery.. Seems pretty good to me so far rather like the stripped down version..
But after trying to install the 1 percent fixes using bootstrap I cannot get any of them to display correct and stay at 10 percent increments.. Was reading it has to do with a problem with bootstrap not properly wiping cache..

Im using gingercream ics .9 on skinny4g
Flashed via bootstrap
Gives me circle batt with 10% increments
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

10percent increments is the default. I was trying to apply flashed zips using bootstrap to open up 1percent increments.
I have used a few different zips and neither one takes. I have used the one from Jokers rom thread but I am not even sure if it is compatible with his skinny4G for locked bootloaders.
I have also tried using the mod listed from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343807
The icon is changed to display percentage but some link is broken for it to display in 1percent increments. It still only displays in the default 10percent increments.
For the mean time I am using battery circle in conjunction to what I already have installed until a workaround / fix comes to light.

Circle Battery% Mod here UPDATED:10%increments working

I just quickly threw together one of these for the DX2 cuz i hate hot seeing my battery percentage or using a tacky 3rd party app. The battery only reads in increments of (edit:10%). You must have a custom recovery to flash this zip and you must have gingerbread also!
UPDATED 8/7 please download lastest version for working 10%increments
causes volume notification to read inaccurately when adjusting volumes(no idea why this happens)
to restore to factory settings flash the factorybatt.zip
Flashed now how do I get it to take the place of the old one?
Thanks! worked perfect...
Can it be confirmed that this does 5% increments?
(stock does 10% unless under 20%, then it does 5%)?
Don't mean to be picky, just asking from those who flashed?
Thanks and good work on this.
awesome, works great
Doesn't do 5percent

Awesome man thanks I hated the stock one I could never really tell how much I had left and I don't like having a million things in the notification bar
X2RGB
One thing I did notice is you must choose between this and crt animation you can't have both
X2RGB
oh thats why then ^
Actually now, it seems its dropping in %20 increments

the framework-res.apk for x2 gingerbread has stat_sys_battery_100png, 95png, 80png, 75png etc so i swapped images for 5% increments. I dont know why its not working that way. I realize motorola reads in 10% but theres an app on the market that can read the X2 in 1%increments so i dont think that matters i dunno
Installed it on my x2, works great. My only wish is that it was accurate to 1% instead of 10, but I know that's not your fault, it's Motorola's.
Thanks.

I've been searching for something like this! I don't like not being able to see my volume leves and was noticing a few other hiccups with the new 10% version, so I flashed back to the one that only displays 20% increments, hopefully only temporarily though.
Boot loop
I tried to flash this mod and it sent my phone into a boot loop! I had to sbf back to 2.2 and then update again.
Im guessing this wasnt testing on the p3 rooted gingerbread?

Using 1.3 oc kernel tweaks on stock kernel works!?

Hey all. I just wanted to say, that like many with this phone, I have locked and unlocked this phone more than my car, and flashed more than I can count.
I've been a little bummed. I love the overclocked kernel speeds but hate losing 4g. So I keep relocking the bootloader.
I run on a relocked alien 4g rom with some frozen apps. Still get the contacts storage fc tho.
Anyway, onto the meat of my post.
The kernel tweaks that other members of this forum made may actually benefit locked kernels as well. I put both lib files and the kickass file in the folders they belong and I noticed a 500-600 point in quadrant.
On stock kernel I was getting 2600-2900. Now I get 3200ish. Sadly with unlocked overclocked and tweaked kernel I was getting 4600. With better battery life. Funny.
Has anyone else tried this?

You know i have instructions for running skinny on the locked bootloader. It would be faster than alien and still have 4g. Ill be posting a locked only version soon as well

That happened to me when i was unlocked and flashed Rom with kernels in them. I reflashed the oc wifi kernel and problem solved. Maybe that helps

I have determined that the kernel tweaks on skinny rom seems to have no benefits. I dunno why.
Currently my phone on 45. 2. 5 w/relocked alien scores higher on quadrant than 45. 3. 7? w/skinny locked. With alien theme or without.

Q: Which rom are you running? It might be dependent on that first. If you're running Joker's ROMs..try this:
1 - Make a backup in CWM - make a copy somewhere too if you want
2 - format system
3 - Wipe data
4 - Reboot recovery
5 - Flash ROM
6 - Flash Battery %
7 - Reboot
8 - Enjoy
See if that works?
Best,

My guess is that if it doesn't, you could probably still flash the battery percent fix from Joker's rom since ROCKO is based off of jokers..

A good stock rom, that has the bloatware removed.....

Is there a good stock rom all cleaned off without all the bloatware? I want to flash one to my phone without having to rsd lite it and redo the unlocking etc. I just want to flash a stock rom that he can activate easily. Thanks=)
Or will putting the 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM rom only unroot and not re-lock and remove the recovery? I assumed it would remove all that or there would be one to just flash with clockwork.

skinny complete v1 seems like what I want. There is a rev0 and rev1, and a rev2 that isn't clickable but it's right below "skinny complete v1" so maybe that's what I click on for rev2? Sorry, prob a dumb question
The links didn't seem to work but the torrent for rev1 is working so I get that one. I says I need to be on 198-7. I was, then I put CM7.2, so I'm on 198-6. I'll need to read about updating to 198-7 before flashing. I'm thinking it is saying I need to flash back to stock then redo everything unlock, clockworkmod, then flash skinnyrev1...
Also, just to make sure, can one activate the phone with a skinny rom since it is like stock? Or is that too customized and the phone won't activate unless it is fully stock?
I ran skinny for a while. You don't need to reactivate.

I got a pm back from Joker and he said to wipe and flash. I did and it worked perfectly. It's great. I love that you can up to 7 lil icons in the bottom that stay fixed there. It's a quick rom and I like the morphing it does. The main thing I wanted to know was since it is a stockish rom can I give my friend the phone and he can activate it or do I need to flash it to a completely stock rom? I think I'm ok, but if you happen to know for sure.
Look at getting the MSL for the phone since it would make manual activation easy..
Either get it from sprint or use the extraction method found in the forums..

I did, it is super smooth and fast. I was going to give my phone to a friend and wanted to make sure he can just activate it without needing to do much. I played around with some themes too. I loved the power widget in CM7.2. ScottieRotten said I can get the MSL and install it so maybe I could have left CM7.2 on it.

[ Rom - Motoblur ] iKReaM.ICS.6.16.2.15.ROM.v2.8-R3Ds [ Update on 8-24-12 ]

FIXING OP
Can you make a version that don't requires Safestrap??
If it can work without Safestrap, it also can work as 2nd-System in BootMenu.
I will try this tonight but i need help. I have become fairly familiar with the RAZR. I came from an inc which i loved. The only sd i have is from the inc and its only 2gigs. Question is when making a backup can i save it to the internal sd card? Or will i lose it when wiping data and then formatting the system?

I don't think you will be able to install Safestrap 2.0 on Gingerbread, you need to install ICS leak first

R3Ds Themes
Battery and 1% charge hack
After spending more than 12 hours I managed to install ICS leak 6.14.79 and than followed the steps precisely got R3DS Rom into my phone and was very happy at first but as soon I installed and set GO Launcher EX act by default instead of HomeScreen and shut my phone down waited for 30 seconds and then turn the phone back on I was unable to statr phone sucessfuly, just was getting icomplete lock screnn and toching buttons did nothing. So i ended up using DroidRazrUtility 1.7 to get Gingerbread back on and then installed ICS 6.16,211 in recovery modr from external SD card. So now to my question: Is anyway possible to have battery you have in post #2 (battery #2 is my favorite) plus 1% charge into system I already have without installing separate app from the Market since it can't replace system icon but adds own one?
Thanks
Oleg

Batt Mod on Stock Rom?
Can you just flash the battery mod to stock .211?
I don't believe so, as I'm fairly certain it needs to be deodexed to work, which stock would not be. I could be throwing around false information, though.
I have a noob question of my own; is it possible to flash this from the OTA ICS update or must it be done from the leaked updates?

I've been on this ROM for a couple of days now and have had no issues. I love the accurate battery mod and the power toggles on the notification pull down. I haven't noticed any degradation in battery, but don't have enough time on it yet to make an objective assessment. So far, I totally recommend it!
