How to truly set up CM9 - Motorola Photon 4G

#Do not just copy from forum thread or jokersax.com#
Okay, so I can't get the camera update to work on alpha 1.0.1 to 1.0.1v2
Than I thought to make this thread. How have people successfully installed this version fresh, and how have people installed this version as a CM9 update?
Thanks all,
-Craby

I've gotten cm9 awesome club version to boot and run without any fc
First make sure you are unlocked and using ROM racer recovery not the new one from ROM manager go to mount and storage format system then go back and wipe data/factory reset then restart recovery once recovery restarts flash latest rom and gapps then reboot. For me thats all I did and it all worked just alo of empty settings which is how it is supposed to be being an alpha and all some say to reboot into recovery wipe everything(factory rest, wipe cache, wipe dalvick then flash ROM and gasps then reboot after first install I personally didn't have to

ya, I've sworn off from manager since they brought nook color support. They just haven't been able to do it right with anything but an HTC device. I did manage to fix it following this, but when you try switching to front facing it Borks the camera. Do we need different drivers or something? Plus panorama and camcorder would be nice, if only I could code...

[app]netflix updated to 1.3 build

Here is the NETFLIX apk. I tried it and I got stuck in the now loading screen. Maybe you'll have better luck. Let me know how it goes...
Using Preludedrew's Stock ROM and Dread 7us' Honeycomb Theme with BC's 1.5 Kernel...(max 1.267 min 768 ondemand)
place it on your SD card and use a file manager to download the apk.
*EDIT* here is the latest build (1.3) works well on CM7.
Lol I downloaded and was hoping not to have to pay for it..like just to watch their online crap movies but eh I'm not signing up for it cause I d/l movies :\ but install went well

Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Yeah, it won't stream video yet. Some other threads are saying that the app is checking for hardware version and/or DRM rights and failing when the phones don't pass. Seems there's a thread for this in every phone's forum and they're all having the same results. I'm betting that our talented community will figure it out though

Anyone have success yet with the Netflix apk file for the HTC EVO Shift 4G streaming media?
My boyfriend's EVO has it up and running, but my EVO Shift still won't stream anything.
This is an old build. A current one is available somewhere in the forums. Go download that one...
Try and do a search.
The is another posting that has 1.2 and there is a link to dl a fix so u can watch on most sense I'm running mikshift-G and with the fix it works also works on nightly cm with out a fix
The app that is included on the New release of the mik ROM, works without the need of the patch. Been using it for the past three days.

Well here is the latest NETFLIX APP (1.3) which I'm sure is available everywhere. Figured to skip the searching and post it. Tried it on my SPEEDY and works pretty well. No need for patches, just install straight up.
I am running CM7 nightly135, with Pershoot's V1 Kernel (245/1.6 smartass)
Haven't tried it with the latest Sense Roms but I'm sure it's no problem.

Just dl'ed v1.3 from the link above and installed via adb push. App loads up fine and logs in perfectly well. All features seem intact until I try to view a video. Phone slides into Landscape mode, Netflix looks like it is buffering, then a small window pops up saying that it is having trouble connecting to the netflix site. Same result on every movie. Can't even get audio. Otherwise, the app works great. Seems to me that Netflix is a step ahead here.
Using Sprint's newest 2.3.3 temp-rooted, btw.
Juts tried my netflix app, I am using strapped rom and the app comes with the Rom, and it worked fine.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache, even wiped my ass... app still behaves the same, I can login, but when I try to watch anything it just loops back to the menu. I'm gonna try some backups and test w. And w.o kernals and on different roms.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I can verify it works on cm7, shift deck, & cyclonic roms. Haven't had problems with any kernels specific to netflix.
Might be worth an ruu back to stock, clear out any accrued crud that the normal wipes doesn't cure. I have had to do that once or twice for various issues.
Good luck.

Netflix

Camera
Some Market apps

Did you forget to include ClockWorkMod Recovery in the update folder on SDCard /root?
if you don't care about losing your data you can just flash the zip as you normally would from CWM.
Working pretty good so far. Just had a reboot with root file explorer but otherwise very smooth and usable.
edit: maybe i downloaded the wrong file, but is there a gapps with the new google music? the 7.1 that i downloaded that was linked on page 1 has the old music apk.
Smooth as butter.
Works great, didnt have any issues updating using ACME installer 2.

Sounds good. I need Titanium Backup to work though

Some of my apps are disappearing after updating my rom?

I installed the Common Sense rom about a week ago, and when I updated it to 1.2.1, I noticed some of my apps were missing. Among these was Uniwar HD, as you can see in the attached screenshot. I got this from the Amazon Appstore and figured it might have just been because of that, but a couple of my apps from the Play Store were gone, too. Anyone have any ideas of what could've caused this?
If it helps, my Evo 3D is the CDMA version with Hboot 1.5 S-on.

Did you just try re-installing it? Did you do a full wipe when flashing? Is the app moved to the sd card?

I couldn't find it on the Appstore for whatever reason... It was a FAOTD just a few days ago, too. I didn't wipe before flashing, and I believe it was in the phone's storage.

How bout some help from the dev of this Rom a full wipe is required with the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.1 because I had to make some data/app changes to sort some bugs out. I recommend wiping everything (except sdcard) twice, and then flashing the Rom, that way no bits and pieces from the last version are there. From 1.2.1 on, you won't need to do this though.
If you haven't tried wiping the cache and dalvik-cache already, do that and see if it works. If not, do as I mentioned above. If you still can get it, send me a pm and we'll sort this out

Google Now on Stock Rom.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

[FIX] Photosphere

There seems to be many requests for this, so here it is.
If Photosphere is not working for you here is a CWM flashable zip that will fix it.
Once you flash and reboot, you will have 2 camera and 2 gallery icons.
Just go to apps and disable the Gallery that is 1.74 mbs. and you are good to go.
Edit: This also fixes the flash.

This should change panorama to Photosphere, least it did for me. Just remember to disable gallery that is 1,79 mbs after you flash this one.

hmmmm... not sure - prolly nothing you did wrong.
My guess is houstonn will have a new build up soon.... either re-flash what you have now or wait for new build, know it can be a pain but may be time for a clean flash (if you haven't done one recently) all the best
