Hey Photon users - Motorola Photon 4G

I'm thinking about getting a new phone. But I have a question. Maybe you can help.
I value MIUI as the best ROM and I was wondering if this particular has much support on that? I see a couple threads already. But I'm just gettin the inside scoop.
Thanks friends

The MIUI that th3bill and spleef are building is SWEET. Rock solid, you should check it out

Are you aware of a stable GB version as well?

MIUI for touchpad

Since people have managed to put cm7 on touchpads, how difficult will MIUI be....assuming there is a tablet version of it.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
a bit more difficult. TBH I haven't even tried to straight port it, though I should but no time
you can try though I left alot of instructions on how to port for the hd2, should be applicable for it
Once i overcome the fear of losing my touchpad i might give it a shot, would it be easier if MIUI release their version of ics?

Vote for MIUI in our touchpads. Link in the signature.
I'm considering doing this port but there are more moving parts than people think.
YH i can imagine but it'd be the best choice till cm9 shows up

I think another big problem is we really don't have complete access to the blocks. Really wish we could alter the acmeinstaller so we could change over ramdisk easily and partition changes. I think once full beta comes out could open the door for better opportunities.
The nook color has a port....

Edit: I've emailed the person who started the thread to see if it's possible to bring it to the touchpad

MIUI on the touchpad would be amazing, please keep us updated!
It would be amazing only if we had tablets tweaks like we do with CM7.
Here's a port of ICS framework with MIUI on the DroidX: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9279-ics-miui-test-1119/
I did the nook color port and was initially thinking about doing it for touchpad too when I got it, but I just never got around to it. I will do it probably for ICS when they both are out.
Its pretty easy to do, since CM7 people did all the real work.
-like conscience- doooooooooooooooooooo itttttttttttt !!!

Why so few roms?

I recently got the photon 4g coming from the evo and sadly I only see like 3 roms. I thought this phone would be more popular and get more attention. Hope I didnt make the wrong phone choice.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
i'm guessing because the unlocked bootloader is killing 4g - and people are waiting until there's a fix for that to start pumping out the roms...
Would you rather have fifteen mediocre ROM choices or a couple good ones? I guess what I'm getting at is what do you want in your ROM? We've got some very talented developers here and have a couple solid, daily ROM's plus kernals. I'm just waiting fora good ICS build to come out.
BTW I don't think you'll regret your decision.

First I think that we need to start with the fact that this is a drawn out question that has been brought up a dozen times (try looking). This is a question that will easily piss off several people in the XDA world, especially the seasoned posters. How many ROM's do you need? I also had a EVO and yes there were SEVERAL ROM's however most of the them were slight variations of the same ROM, just with a personal developers twist on it. (by the way - all hail the Developers). In regards to the MoPho, the unlocked bootloader is a issue, however, the MoPho ran better than the EVO fresh out the box. I personally am running CM7 and I can not believe a phone can be this damn responsive, this fast, and this damn awesome. So when you ask the question, Why so few ROMS - try clicking on one of the several links that the website refers you to that shows other people asking the same question. Remeber the golden rule to XDA - search for the answer first!

first of all, welcome to the photon community. hope you stay a while.
second, you will find that development has only just picked up heavy in the last month. the same went for the EVO, it takes time to develop.
third, please check out the roms we do have, they are wonderful and if you like CM7, we have that!
Id rather have a great build like CM7 then a million roms that are just a snowflake from being the same thing. few is better to me when it comes to rom builds.

Just go with Cybik's CM7 port. It is being submitted to Cyanogen for approval, so will be hopefully soon, a fully supported and "blessed" ROM. The lack of 4G is a non-issue for me, no 4G in my area, but would be nice to eventually get it for when I travel.

if your phone choice was based on the 'thought' or 'hope' of a certain number of ROM's or a certain quantity of development then you might want to re-consider the basis by which you make electronics purchases.
And for the love of all that is holy, please research/search before posting and stop insulting the development that we DO have. Obviously you haven't spent any time reading in the fora to make a fair assessment of the status of development for this device yet you are very quick to hop in the general forum and make (what seems to be) a complaint thread.
just sayin'
/soapbox
ALL ROMs on ALL phones are based on rooted deodex stock, AOSP or porting. 99% of those ROMs are nothing more than minor changes to either stock or AOSP. Almost everything can be done with flashable theme packs.
The remaining 1% are serious rewrites, optimizations or ports. For example, ROMs like CM7, Vaelpak and Synergy are serious coding. Changing the font or color scheme is theming and not a ROM.
Dear daddymikey1975
First off its not my fault your RETARTED second i wasnt putting anyone down and last but not least i was just asking a simple question and not complaining so thats my thought process

CM7 development?

I understand that ICS roms will come in the future after the kernel has been leaked or recreated and/or there is a full stock ICS leak, but isnt it possible to create a CM7 rom with the materials we have available? I just wanted to know if CM7 development is a possibility right now. Thanks

I know CM9 is coming SOON but I'm talking about right now. CM7 roms would be infinitely more feasible than debloated edited themed stock roms. Not to say the devs aren't doing an amazing job

How is cm7 obsolete? Or dated for that matter, so how obsolete is stock gingerbread?? I think cm7 is a great rom, with endless ways of customizing, with tons of themes already in the market for free, is just like saying what's the point of all these Roms in our note android development forum because there all based on stock gingerbread . I think cm7 would be a great addition for those that think ginger is it and don't care much for an ics update, but that's my opinion. I wish I had the time and knowledge with a linux environment to develop cm7 for the note.

I highly urge we talk to a developer and see if they are interested in getting this started. Unfortunately I have no experience programming or doing rom creation otherwise I would have started asap loving the devs we got here though

Development

This is just my opinion and I know I'm probably going to get bashed for it, but I just don't see the development for this phone picking up. It's nothing to do with the developers we have because I think they're great, but just a matter of bad timing. With the One X and SGS3 coming out it seems to me that the developers we could get are holding out for those phones. I really wish it would pick up because I think this phone has a lot of potential. What is everyone else's opinion? Does this sound like a logical conclusion?
Maybe if this phone came it at a different time it would be a different story.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Development is delayed simply because theres no kernel source for ics on the note, so no custom kernels are holding out development, also no vendor/binary source available to build from source, I've been looking at what we need for developing cm9 but I hd some issues with my laptop so that was delayed, I'm sure once we get more sources we will see more development.

I've been thinking about getting into some rom development for this phone. I'm smart enough to do it but I just haven't taken the time to learn how yet. I don't know where to start. Kinda wanna learn from a developer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
With the phone being only 2 months old tomorrow and no kernel yet, I think there's been a lot of development. When the kernel comes this phone will take off.
yeah, I think it will pick up too once an actual source ICS is released, which I bet comes pretty soon..
And 2 new roms just dropped this morning

I agree with RoloRacer...
Once developers get the ics kernel source, I'm sure we will see a lot more roms popping up. I think we have enough great developers, but they need the proper tools before they can start building. We just need to be patient.
That being said, I'm a rom junkie myself...so I feel your pain....just be strong!

The future of CM7 on Atrix 4G?

So, now that we have finally received the final cm7 7.2 version, will all future updates stop? Are we going to see a 7.3 in the future? Thanks!
Edit: I just saw that another nightly was released. Changelog is broken...
Sent from my MB860 on CM7
Devs will still probably find room for improvement on CM7 until ICS officially lands. BTW thank you to all the guys that worked on CM7!
It's mind blowing how much better the Atrix is now on CM7 compared to when our phones originally launched with crippled Froyo. Seriously, thanks guys!...
