[Q] [q] cm9 - Motorola Photon 4G

I have a couple of questions and didn't want to clog up the development thread.
1. Is there a way to add mobile data to the notification toggles? Looked through the settings and didn't see anything.
2. How can I sync with Facebook? I try under accounts and it does nothing. All of my contact pics are super stretched out.
3. When I use handset for messaging the screen takes a minute to rotate or its all blurry when I open. Switched to the stock messaging but I like a dark theme
Thanks in advance for your help. And a BIG thank you to everyone working on this: joker, focus, cougarcougar, etc. I'm loving ics!

I have the same problem with facebook. I just figured it is probably not working yet since the rom is still alpha.

1. Widgetsoid
2. Not integrated. There is an app on the market but its a paid one.
3. Issues with the rom.

Thanks guys, I figured most of the issues were like that.

When the official CM9 drops you will see all the favorites. The CM team hasn't even officially released all the goodies yet man! Just wait and see

#2: I'm still using 1.4OC Alpha 13 build, and have not had the Facebook issue, but I did on 12, so I downloaded Facebook Messenger app and signed in with that then tried signing into facebook app and presto. As for the other 2 questions I don't believe there is a way to add mobile data toggle, I'm using a widget and for number 3 I was having some issues with rotation in a few apps and under system settings / developer options I turned animation off then I had 2 places to switch auto rotation:1 being in my settings under display and the other in my Launcher settings. It solved my issues

So I have a couple of more questions and thought I'd add them here.
I decided to try the new cm7.2 by cougarcougar and while flashing I upgraded my data partition to ext4. Can I just restore my cm9 backup to get back to the greatness that is ics? Or do I have to reformat my data partition to whatever stock was to restore by nandroid.

1. Yes you can add mobile data to the notification toggles. You might need to flash the cm settings zip posted a couple days ago.

Cm settings zip? I just looked at the hlf site and there is only the a19 builds, cm9 music, and and jokers gapps

So I Answerer my own question, did not have to format anything. My cm9 backup loaded just fine.
I missed you ics!

ROM impressions - TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION

Hi,
I wanted to express my opinion about the TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION rom.
The ROM is perfectly smooth - just works out of the box. It may appear deceptively simple, but the long update list in Development thread's OP provides a good explanation why it works so well.
If you had spent some time running Hybrid or Collective Troposphere ICS ROMs then you will be surprised to see the ATT boot animation (though I'm sure that if it's not to your liking then it can be replaced with any other animations that had been posted in different threads )
And another great thing about this ROM is the developer response time - appdroid is actively monitoring the thread and before I had time to load the stock rom there was an update for mms FC that was reported - now that's impressive.
The only issue that I had observe is phone hanging when trying to restart the phone. Happened two times but on third reboot it was ok. Didn't seem to be reported by anyone else so may be just my phone?
Oh, and if you are as adventurous as I am - don't try flashing Tablet Mode UI fix - I already did That will FC System UI and Launcher. From everything I've read in Hybrid thread I knew that this couldn't work, but just had to try (perhaps the fact that I got tablet UI working really well in Troposphere ROM contributed to the desire to make this attempt)
Edit - both of the issues listed above are gone, kind of. Did the exact same steps as earlier and this time rebooted fine without hanging. That part is for sure. As for the Tablet mod - it works fine at the DPI above 213. Again, make sure you flash TabUI_all_DPI.zip as this is the one I tested. 320 DPI is too big, but I think 240 should work fine.
Edit2 - Tablet UI works! Just not with default launcher. I was able to get 213 DPI resolution to work with Go Launcher, but Nova should also work
If you are a new user like me and cannot post in Development thread then you are welcome to add your impressions here. Other senior contributors are also welcome
I don't intent to move all of TEAM PERFECTION'S ICS OBJECTION-related discussion here, especially since appdroid is monitoring his thread very closely. But it's nice to finally have a voice.
I flashed tablet mode over this. The combo works perfect

That's great news. Will give it another try.
I assume that you loaded the new Tablet UI enabler zip (TabUI_all_DPI.zip) and ran it at <= 213 DPI?
Edit - did you also observe hanging on shutdown/reboot?
I ran TABLET_UI_AOSP_A2. Nothing else.

Thank you. I got it all working now, just had to load another launcher (go launcher) BEFORE loading tha tablet UI (though I used the latest multi-DPI zip) and it worked fine at 213 DPI. If you can, please post in Development thread as people are asking and I still can't post there. I will PM Jay (appdroid) too.
Love this rom. there's just something about it like. Flashed A couple of roms but always found myself nandroiding back to gb. Been on this since last night and after a full run today I like it a lot.
Only thing I changed was the launcher to apex. Just needed something that looked stock but gave me more grid space. Works great.
Swapped the mms.apk with the one from tye noteworthy thread and no more fc there.
Now I just need to get tethering working.

Thank you. And of course if you want to run at or below 213 DPI you need to replace contacts app. But then again, if you don't care about samsung dialer commands (like #*2263#) then might as well replace the whole dialer, as at that resolution some dialer buttons in stock dialer are partially cut off.

Tried both before posting - none works.
Of course your post is a clear indication that it works for you. That means it's just my system then.
I think its a fantastic ROM so far. I had a couple FC's when doing the initial contacts sync with gmail and then when trying to put weather on the lockscreen. Other than that this ROM is fantastic. I think this might be one I stick with until the second leak comes out or the official ICS push.....Thanks DEV's!!!!!!

Same here. Though I might miss some of the tools available in other ROMs
Sometimes I wish we had a sticky thread with ALL the updates available globally (i.e. rom-independent) so we could get those as needed. Just like we have for Accessories forum.

[ROM][ICS] Senseless ICS - 5/8/2012 - EVEN MOAR AOSP

First ROM for me. Spent the day half studying for a Calculus final and the other half making this.
Overall I'm very happy with it. Smooth, Stable, and ICS makes it look great.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for what happens if something goes wrong. I've tested it a lot and it should be fine.
5/6/12
Removed a lot of Sense and HTC files. Not 100% Senseless yet, but I don't really want to break anything.
Added Apex Launcher.
Added ICS Boot Animation.
Added AOSP Browser, Calculator, E-Mail, Messaging, Calendar
Added working Sprint Voicemail.
5/8/12
ICS Status Bar and ICS Settings.
MMS limit raised and defaulted to 5 MB
Some camera mods.
Added ICS Keyboard. Not default yet though.
Bugs: - I hate bugs. They'll be resolved or mitigated when my finals are over.
Can't seem to find a way to enable 4g on the ICS Notifications...
Lockscreen gets in the way of picking up calls. I consider this a bug. Not a privacy feature.
Music controls don't show up on the AOSP lockscreen. Using LeeDroid's AOSP Lockscreen fixes. Not sure if wallpaper is supposed to show up or not though.
If you find a bug then please PM me or discuss it in the thread.
Todo:
Take some fancy schmancy screenshots,
Theme framework-res.apk, Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk to AOSP ICS. # Half done.
Integrate Leedroid tweaks in a week. # Not really necessary anymore.
Apply some speed tweaks. IMO not totally important b/c there's not much speed gains to be had with much of anything besides cache size boosting or overclocking, but maybe Android has something I've never seen before in an OS.
Not sure of the stability of the file host. Will actively search for a place to mirror.

Install Instructions:
When the leak came out, I flashed Freeza's firmware. IDK what the verdict is on whether or not it's reversible or not, but I personally haven't seen any problems with reception or what not.
With that said:
1. Backup your Data with Titanium Backup or similar. I would also suggest a Nanddroid in case you want to go back.
2. Do whatever wipe style you like. I typically do a Factory Reset and then a System wipe from TWRP.
3. Flash the ics-signed.zip
----- If you want access to 4g or like the Sense status bar or the Sense Settings, do not continue. -----
4. Load the ROM. I haven't been able to avoid the step for whatever reason. Most likely my lack of skill with update-script.
5. Go back into recovery and install the ICS Notifications.

It does not. MMS completely works from the stock app though and you can just disable the notifications from the AOSP one or remove the App with Titanium Backup or not.
I was debating putting it in there, but I figured that I liked how it looked so I might as well.

If its FC'ing and the Sense one works, then the aosp mms should probably just ve left out... I know I'll be removing it since its not needed. ROM sounds awesome overall, can't wait to give it a spin.

Idk if anyone remembers empiires suprarom but after reading the description in the op for some reason it reminded me of that, using a sense base getting as close to aosp as possible with losing that sense functionality. Any chance this'll be laid out in a similar manner?

Yes, working 3d and 2d.
Had to move the ROM to my server and it's not spectacular so if anyone could mirror it it'd be great. Since Megaupload got taken down I haven't found a good file host that allows > 300 MB.
I'm working on pulling this damn update together with what I want it to have which should theme it to almost full ICS. But the zip just isn't agreeing with me.
You thinking a builds later tonight or tomorrow?

Get ICS AOSP apps on Sense 3.6 Evo 3D [UPDATE-2] [+Calender App]

Hi all, I have not created the mod or apps. So all credit goes to the people where I gathered it from. Just thought of sharing it here because it was hard myself looking for it all the way. And since I found it, I'd like to share it with you guys.
ICS Notification Bar. Flash in recovery and you're good to go. NANDROID PLEASE. (Changes phone settings to stock ICS too) (Credit to VladBelsky, got this from his forum): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?h42x34ar49xk5t5
ICS Messaging Application (Doesn't replace your default app, freeze it in Titanium): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g1rufbrrkbra6sb
ICS Gallery Application (Install as a regular .apk file and it DOES NOT support 3D pictures for obvious reasons but still a good eye-candy software to have on your phone ): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fb79eppsoxfki3d
ICS Browser - For-Real (Install as a regular .apk file BUT IT DOES REPLACE your default HTC Sense Browser so I recommend you make a backup of it. Though as far as I've noticed, it's faster, better and smoother in many ways.): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2a4k523jvufjkw7
ICS Contacts Application (Flash via recovery, would not replace your regular HTC dialer): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oyo19m5afnhef09
ICS Email Application (Not that much of use to me but still thought of sharing, Flash via recovery): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8s8cs5xf0imxjqx
ICS Calender Application (Flash via recovery, not sure if it replaces the regular calender or not): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dbzviddbbkgwb7m
I found Contacts and Email on a One S forum. Tried out on my Evo 3D and it worked perfect. Though I got disappointed by the Contacts app as it still uses the regular call screen by HTC Sense. Lets wait till a complete port shows up. Other than that, the app works flawless.
I'll update this thread soon as I love AOSP apps and I keep looking for them always. I have a few more in my phone that I'll transfer and upload by tonight.
Hit thanks if you like and after digging so much, I think I'm ready to take requests.

Only problem I found was that mms wouldnt send but it received so Im gonna see if I can figure it out.
Both worked for me, just flash the statusbar and install the mms apk. I wish we were able to have the ICS statusbar but keep the leedroid drop down settings. Also, the mms doesnt work with the sense locksreen notifications. Other than that both look and work great!

Yep. MMS wont work as that is one HTC Sense integration. And I love the ICS notification bar way more than the HTC one so it's a win win for me with or without LeeDroid.

Umm, I haven't tried that but you can always NANDROID and experiment new things. So do try and put down a feedback. And yes as it is the official ICS status bar, it must have support for 4G. Cant tell any more as I'm on GSM. Sorry..

This is a 3d gallery apk, just like aosp version. I'm not sure if pics work but I tested videos and they work perfectly...
http://db.tt/4RrWz19z
Disregard, I think I had a faulty backup for those who read....
Confirmed. If you only want the Status bar and not the Settings to look like ICS AOSP, simply remove the Settings.apk.
I'm sure it'd work if you'd only want the Settings and not the status bar.
There are no FC's or anything like that. If you want battery percentage, you can just flash the battery mod for ICS.
This is bad ass thanks! Makes it look way better while still having sense
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Now if we could only get AOSP lockscreen, I'd be SOLD.
EDIT: Percentages did not show after I flashed the ICS battery mod.
Also, I renamed my mms.apk to mms1.apk, and copied the AOSP mms it into system/app as stated in 2nd post.
Except I never used Titanium, so no freezing. It did indeed completely replace my mms app. Works great.

[Q] App list, dialer and other basic questions after Jester's Liquid ICS

I've recently updated to Jesters Liquid beta rom and now to the new 2.7 version if this makes any difference. I used to have a setting on the stock rom that allowed me to view all my apps as a list instead of pages of icons. I can't find this setting now. Is this due to Nova launcher, ICS, or me just not being able to find it? I really, really prefer a list with large text, much like the manage apps list that shows up, instead of a bunch of little icons that all look similar to older eyes that also don't see colors well.
I use Go Contacts ex and it's dialer, but this seems to be the same with the stock dialer. If I program a number to speed dial that has pauses inserted int he number, the call will not go through. It worked on the stock rom, but not on the newer roms. Is there a different dialer I could try or some other setting I can use to make these numbers with the pauses work again? (that's a trick from long ago where you would insert a pause after the phone number and then another number after it, like a password or access code, so that you could get into a voicemail system, etc. by just using your speed dial)
Pop up notification from a phone call. Any way to really increase the size of the text on this? I don't have any contact pictures downloaded, so I need to be able to see the name or number of who's calling. Any suggestions?
The status bar at the very top. I think I've figured out most of the icons, but could use a little help to be sure. Left to right it looks like
Bluetooth Screen brightness Location settings? (does this turn on and off GPS or what?) Refresh (is this to turn off sync features or what does it do) Wifi, Flashlight. How did I do?
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, 24 hours, almost 200 views and not one response? I must have asked the most difficult noob questions ever, or am just so stoooopid that no one wants to waste their time with me. Wonder which one it is?
I can only help with the status bar question.....
Go to Menu.... System settings .... Interface ....... Status bar ....... Toggles....... Power widget ....... Widget button order.
From there you can see what is selected and the associated icons. I have changed the defaults, so I don't know if your guesses are correct. From the Power widget menu, choose Widget buttons to change which buttons are displayed.

I'm using Apex launcher on Liquid's pure ICS, not Nova on Jester's, but they're more alike than different and you can install Apex if Nova doesn't have this.

I use Go Contacts ex and it's dialer, but this seems to be the same with the stock dialer. If I program a number to speed dial that has pauses inserted int he number, the call will not go through. It worked on the stock rom, but not on the newer roms. Is there a different dialer I could try or some other setting I can use to make these numbers with the pauses work again? (that's a trick from long ago where you would insert a pause after the phone number and then another number after it, like a password or access code, so that you could get into a voicemail system, etc. by just using your speed dial)
I use the stock dialer, so I'm not sure about Go, but having used it in the past, I'm sure what you're looking for is in there. You might want to see if there's a FAQ section on their website, or go to one of the less technical forums and do a search in their apps section. Alternately, you could try DW Dialer, EX Dialer or Dialer One and see if they better meet your needs.
Pop up notification from a phone call. Any way to really increase the size of the text on this? I don't have any contact pictures downloaded, so I need to be able to see the name or number of who's calling. Any suggestions?
Try Settings --> Display -->Font Size
or
Settings -->System-->Accessibility and see if the app it suggests helps
or
search for Accessibility in the Play Store.
Also, maybe a different theme or dialer would help.
The status bar at the very top. I think I've figured out most of the icons, but could use a little help to be sure. Left to right it looks like
Bluetooth Screen brightness Location settings? (does this turn on and off GPS or what?) Refresh (is this to turn off sync features or what does it do) Wifi, Flashlight. How did I do?
Everyone's is going to be different.
Go to
Settings -->Shortcuts-->Interface-->General and/or StatusBar. Check and uncheck stuff and see what it does. You won't break anything, though you might want to do a back up first in case you just really screw it up.
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can only help with the status bar question.....
Go to Menu.... System settings .... Interface ....... Status bar ....... Power widget ....... Widget button order.
From there you can see what is selected and the associated icons. I have changed the defaults, so I don't know if your guesses are correct. From the Power widget menu, choose Widget buttons to change which buttons are displayed.

Thanks, but when I go Menu .... Systems Settings....Interface....statusbar I get the following options

I'm not seeing Power widget anywhere
Edit: Found Power widget under Toggles.
Thanks.

I haven't found it in Nova. I thought I had looked at Apex before, but if it offers a list view, then I'll switch. Thanks for the tip.

I tried it on the stock dialer too. The problem appears to be related to the stock dialer programming. I think the dialer apps I've played with somehow just piggyback off the stock dialer for function.

I haven't had much luck searching. Everything seems to be centered around a larger contact picture instead of larger text. I don't have any contact pictures in the phone, so that doesn't help me.
Thank you for taking the time to reply though.

And just to be clear. If I select Manage Apps, a list of apps does show up like I'm wanting, but that menu is made for stopping, uninstalling, etc. I would like my app drawer button or whatever you call it to display my apps as a list when I'm looking for an app to open. I'll download Apex and give it a spin
It's an inelegant solution but maybe a good start. Download ES File explorer. That has an app manager button that lists everything in text format. Click in an app and it gives you a choice for details or open.

That kind of works. If I leave the app manager open in list view as the last thing in that app, then each time the app is opened I get a list view of apps. It requires pushing on the app and then pushing open, but at least it's a list, so I'm happy. Apex lets me move the app icon out of the way and stick the ES app in it's place, so this will work for now I think.

It's a Sense thing. I think most of what you're looking for is available stock on Sense based roms.
Someone just developed a new one based on the BAMF leak and it's pretty smooth.

I'll look, but honestly, I really don't enjoy switching to new roms. It takes me forever to get everything up and running the way I want it and to learn almost enough to function daily with it. I do like the list view though, so I'll keep an eye on reports of battery life. I did try the BAMF leak and was extremely disappointed with the battery life (running extended battery) and data drops. That was my first new rom (I originally rooted just to get rid of bloatware), and I was complaining about my dislikes on another forum when someone pointed me to Liquid's version here. I downloaded Jesters beta version and loved it compared to the BAMF leak. After having read all the internet articles, I was under the impression that the BAMF leak was the cat's meow. Now I realize those articles are about as unbiased as the national so called news.
Is Santod's new sense rom as laggy as the BAMF leak, or have they tweaked that out of it by now.

Almost no comparison to BAMF. Much smoother. Honestly, not as smooth as Liquid/Jester but data/signal seems more stable and almist everything works.
If visual stuff, contrast and ease if use are issues for you, it's worth a spin. I'm also running Apex. I don't know if that contributes to lag over the native Sense, but it has the features I want.
Yeah, switching toms is a royal pain, but you do what ya gotta do.

Call recorder can be added using 3rd party apps.
Try searching for it on PlayStore
RAM Usage: There's a Memory Leak issue on all AOSP based JB ROMs for S3 International.
The effect has reduced since previous releases, but still present. Give it a try & see if you can live with it.
Most can.

For any AOSP based ROMs, no.
Samsung decided to remove the USB Mount feature in S3... for some goddamn reason.
For ICS there was the UMS Mount App, but for JB there've been mixed results.
Feel free to try it out!

No. Not unless you Wipe Data manually
(Its an option in CWM recovery.)
As long as you don't wipe, you won't lose any apps, EXCEPT the gapps.
Every time you flash a ROM, you need to flash a gapps package immediately after the ROM flash, or you won't have the PlayStore, Gmail, Now etc... the google stuffs.

I don't make the hwcomposer. Those are Samsung props
CM handle the codes, the best they can.
So far, videos seem to work perfectly for me with the new HWComp.
If it fails for you, there's nothing wrong with the old one as well. Both are super smooth & worthy of daily driver! :good:

Hi,
thanks for opening this thread...
i love this rom however, i need to restore back to the stock rom for the following reasons:
while on: 2.1:
Browser started crashing after going live for 8 hrs (read from mulitple threads that it's likely a memory leak issue on CM10) (happened on stock and chrome browsers)
Keyboard will not come up when cursor in on a write field - CM 10 issue as well?
Battery drain out fast - need to reset batt stat?
One instance, my camera was not working! - Error msg: Cannot connect to camera. (need to reboot)
Gets feverish - Screen was flaming hot.. like a high fever kinda hot.
Sluggish speed while going from page to page or opening settings page. (Memory leak issue again)?
while on 2.10.1:
Browser started crashing after going live for 8 hrs (read from mulitple threads that it's likely a memory leak issue on CM10) chrome browser
Gets feverish - Screen was 'above the normal' hot.. like a mid to high fever kinda hot.
One instance after using the chrome browser which crashed on me, my phone function was not functioning! - the other party can hear me, but i can't hear the dialing tone and the other party. (a reboot did not help either) - major reason to revert.
I am using the international version of S3.
I have followed the steps (wipe cache, dalivk) and the rest of instructions to flash the rom.
Any other fellow users facing this issue?
Am looking at the AR HD rom for consideration....

Forget Memory Leaks, that's secondary to your cause.
Primary, is your choice of browser.
If you notice on the PlayStore, Chrome has been given 4 star average, & many low star ratings.
Secondly, check out the multiple threads on xda itself, on how bad Chrome's memory management is (not related to memory leak). You need a patched chrome for that (search is your friend ), else Chrome would suck the hell out of your phone.
There're so many smoother, faster, & better browser than chrome. (That's an opinion, as well as fact). Sync works for stock browser, we can make sync work in other browsers using plugins. HTML5 is more efficient in other browsers etc.
Either look for patched Chrome, or just use a different browser.
The heat issue, is not global. It just happens, & can happen to anyone any time. Let it relax after you've flashed the ROM, for some hours or days, it'll subside & never recur.
Cheers!

If its in PA, its in CM.
Camera & all other custom AOSP apps are handled by CM. Any issues in those, better check out CM discussions thread.
