can use some help choosing a ROM - Motorola Photon 4G

My bootloader Is locked because I want 4g. I am rooted and have the apk bootstrap recovery installed. Can anyone please recomend a great stable rom for a locked bootloader? Thanks

Im using skinny4g as well and im loving it. Except i cant get the wifi to work, but most people dont get that problem

I get the wifi problem. I think people who dont get it are people that didnt wipe /system first. But its not pure skinny ROM if you dont do that. Im just waiting for the next big thing.

[Q] Want to flash ROMs....

Ok ima start by saying ive looked and searched and now im more lost than before i started... lol Ive flashed my cappy a bunch but i was waiting for gingerbread on my atrix, and now im so far behind on whats going on i dont know where to start. Was gonna start with cwm but then read some and thought i needed to root first, started that and now thought i need to unlock first. All i want is root and to flash roms. What order do i need to go in. Also not sure what cmw to use. Thanks in advance for anyhelp
You need to unlock the bootloader first, then install CWM, as for which version you should use it's tenfar's. After you've got that installed you'll be able to what you want.

[Q] rom

Can you take a rom made for a different model phone and put it in another model? Example rom made for samsung put in a razr phone. I found a dark aosp rom i want to put in my razr. Will it work if i root?
yes you can but it has to be ported to this device...I want to also have some Roms i had on my EVO to be on this RAZR like a MIUI or CYANOGEn those were my FAVS the phone just came out give it some time it will happen in no time im sure
+1 for MIUI

First, IMO MIUI just looks like an iPhone. But the problem is the locked bootloader, without it being unlocked you can't install the custom kernel required by those ROMs. I have the Eclipse ROM installed right now and love the debloatedness of it. I will go back to stock once ICS is released so I can upgrade. But I think I will stick with this until then.

Really wouldn't recommend doing that, you will almost certainly bootloop your phone. Other devices use different hardware and need different drivers, it takes a fair bit of work to port a ROM.

Do you just want the theme? We can't really port a lot more than a framework to the RAZR thanks to that locked bootloader.
If it is the theme you want, extract the boot animation, sounds, fonts, framework-res, system UI, and any apps you fancy, and start extracting, signing, and comparing what's in the RAZR's stock files vs. your desired ROM. Steep learning curve if you're new to it, no overnight fix or instant answer, I'm afraid.

[Q] problems after ROM Revolution HD (Camera, Video & Tethering)

Hello all!
I just rooted my HTC Amaze 4G yesterday. I used "[ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 1.1.0" because I needed Arabic supported on my Android.
Anyways, now I have Arabic fully supported, which is great. the phone is fast, and it is now actually 4G instead of 3G, which is better i'm assuming.. (when I got the phone few days ago, it was showing me that it's running on 3g)
so all that is great, however, I have few problems that I can't pretend they don't exist!
-----------
first, the camera now isn't working probably, when you press the camera button, you see a scrambled picture, however when you take the photo, it looks normal... I'll upload the photo I took of it.
second, when I come to play a video, whether it's Youtube or any other vid, the picture is also scrambled and it's impossible to see.
third, the Tethering isn't working at all! it says "error" when I try to turn the feature on.
so far that's all the problems I discover since I installed the ROM. not sure if there is anymore!
I looked in the forums, and on google on how to fix them, but it doesn't seem that a lot of people having the same problems.
does anyone know how to fix these issues? and if they are not fixable, is there a way to uninstall the ROM but still keep the Arabic supported????
all I need is the Arabic to be supported, and of course no issues with the phone.
this is the thread I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342291
this is the camera problem:

Make Sure you intall the ROM EXACTLY how it shows you, if you get errors, do it again
^^^^^ I would do that also. And if it doesn't work, download super wipe script (if you havent) and use it before flashing, I use it for all the roms I flash, even though its made for ARHD

I followed the thread word by word... I spent 7 hours yesterday rooting it!!!!!!
at first it didn't work, but I kept trying until everything went fine with no errors at all.
is there a way to get rid of it and just install another ROM? I also noticed that the phone now takes forever to boot up!!
Thanks for your reply BTW!

Yes, simply download another Rom and flash, most if not all roms here need a kernel to be flashed, if you want, pm me and ill help you further

Use superwipe and flash the ROM again. Install the Arabic patch. You should be fine.

I wonder if running the super wipe now would get rid of the Rev HD and allow me to install Stock ROM?!

I will try that, and what is I want to flash another ROM, do I need to get rid of the rev hd or I can just flash another one after using the superwipe? and will that cause the Arabic patch to stop working?
so if I want to have a stock ROM and Arabic Patch, would they work together?
sorry for being too naive lol

OK! that's cool with me... I can play around with the ROMs, you know removing one and adding another, as long as they work with the Arabic Patch
if i want to go ahead and use Energy Rom, all I need to do is do superwipe, and flash the Rom, am I right?
thanks again co

ok, so I tried this again. used super wipe, flashed the ROM and installed the arabic patch.... no errors.... and still same problems.
I'm in the process of trying Energy ROM! let's see!
I flashed Energy ROM.. still exact same problems
I basically did superwipe. then flash. then arabic patch...
the arabic is supported, but again no fix for the other 3 problems :'(
Does it happen AFTER you flash the patch or no?

well, it seems to be after the patch, that's why i'm not installing the patch right now. just the rom... i'll see if that was the problem in a bit
it just finished flashing... still same issues.
No patch, no arabic supportd, and still same issues.
no idea what am i doing wrong!!!
is there anyway to undo the ROM. so just basically go back to the original system without losing the "root" on my device... this is my second day trying to get the device to be usefull!... I was an "Apple" person, and things there are much easier,... i'm starting to hate android!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still don't get it, why doesn't google have Arabic supported on their devices... it's one of the most demanded feature that people ask for it in their phones!
Ah!!
Wallah ana ma b3rif lol. They should add it in.
You can install a prerooted ROM or go back to stock and install root.

one suggestion. don't use apps2sd. there's no reason when you have gigs of space available for apps... it just slows down your phone..
just reboot and try installing again. if it doesn't work factory reset. oh and remove apps2sd that could cause it possibly.

You have created many new threads as of late asking many questions, all about rocko rom and most of them basic and/or vague. Have you ever thought the of ya know, trying a different rom? Thats the point of flashing roms, finding one that fits you and your phone. These forums are far from ignored, most here just offer help to people that help themselves. If you dont want to put the work in to learn how to troubleshoot simple problems, then perhaps you shouldnt be flashing. And you sure as hell shouldnt be bashing the people who take the time to offer you advice. Have fun with your gs3.
Also, these types of questions are meant for the Q&A section.

Mof 2.3.5ish rom, imperium initiative rom. Do you mean that youve taken the ota 2.3.5 update that permalocks you or your bootloader is just still locked? If its the latter, you can try out those roms. Im personally running mof and really enjoy it. But imperium was my favorite and by far most stable rom we had imo, and it has a locked version.

Bought the phone with 2.3.5 on it, and immediately started flashing stuff. So yes, my bootloader is locked and I can not use pudding.
And, thats great theres a locked version of imperium, but it is not compatible with Electrifys, unfortunately.

Mof his getting ready (if he hasnt already) to release a version of his rom for the 2.3.5 permalocked people. But regarding your problem, havnt been on bootstrap recovery in quite a while but im pretty sure you can still wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. If you havnt already done that i would bet it would fix the majority of your problems with rocko.

Yeah, i've been waiting for mof to. He tried the other week and it didn't work:/
As for my problems with rocko, I just did a factory reset rather than SBFing and then re-flashed rocko, and sure enough most of my problems went away.
Take it easy man, later!
