Extended Battery - Motorola Photon 4G

Extended Battery Mod
Using an aftermarket Extended Battery?
I have made 2 flash zips for Extended Battery Users. One for Stock Rooted, the other for CM9 0.5.1 (will update this one with each version released) These will make it so that your battery meter shows the proper amount of charge, rather than doing the dreaded 1% for 10 hours, then die suddenly.
GO HERE For the Files
Cheers!

Can we get one for Jokers CM9 build? I know you have one for MIUI but you said it only works for MIUI.

Well look at that!
Lol, Nice. Well I am actually going to try and flash this on my stockrom and see if it will stop the Non-Moto battery error. I will report back on whether or not it works.

Here's a flashable zip for those of you using a stock, rooted Photon with an extended battery. Will make it so that your battery meter shows the proper amount of charge, rather than doing the dreaded 1% for 10 hours, then die suddenly.

If this works I will love you forever. It is such a pain to not know the actual battery level.
Without sounding like a complete noob, how do I install this? Extract the zip using a root explorer type app?

I don't have cwm installed. I'm running stock ROM, rooted.

What I did when I was on the stock from.... well any from that is rooted.... was to download battery monitor widget. Setup the ma of your battery and then wipe stats. It seems to correct the battery size. When I first got my battery a few more the ago I noticed it was like nothing had changed... battery was at 50% by lunch time everyday. Now its lunch time and I'm at 88%. I did this on stock rooted ( locked boot loader) and on cm9.

To apply this on a stock, rooted, locked photon 4g, Am I able to extrace the contents of the CWM flashable zip and manually place the files in the where they are supposed to go? I Just returned to stock and kind of miss my 4G when I am around it =P.

I believe you can flash on bootstrap if I'm not mistaken.

Do you have android-sdk installed on your computer? If so, you need to navigate to your "platform-tools" folder, extract the framework-res.apk from this zip and place it in that folder. Plug in your phone to your computer and make sure that the phone is set to debugging mode enabled. Then go to start, and type in cmd and press enter. Navigate to your platform-tools folder by typing in cd\ c:\****\platform-tools (where **** is the path leading up to platform-tools) and press enter. Then type in the following: c:\****\platform-tools\adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework (again **** is the path up to platform-tools) and press enter. Then you're done.

I must have misunderstood something? I flashed the CM9 version over CNA and got bootloops on the red M logo. The CNA I'm using is based on CM9 5.1. I had a backup and tested a couple of times. No luck.

CNA is far enough different that this won't work for it. Even though it's based on it, the framework files between CM9 and CNA are very different, as that's how each rom is unique. I'll post one for the latest CNA that's out in a little bit

It doesn't seem to work for me. I backed up the original framework file and copied your modified one using root browser, rebooted, and I'm still showing the same battery percentage as before.

It won't show different until you have fully charged your phone...then you will notice that rather than it running down to 1% and sitting there before suddenly dying, it will show the proper charge.

is the MIUI 2.4.27 Extended Battery Mod can be used for atrix's miui v4?
thanks for reply~

Help getting no network service!!

Someone gave me the phone.apk for a dialer and when i put it on my phone i restarted and now i cant get any service....it says error with the com.android.phone or something and not sure what to do...please help!
Did you make nand backup prior to installing? If so restore. Otherwise I can make as either a metamorph or flashable theme.
Sorry its giving you trouble, like I said I hadn't tested since my phone is currently unrooted waiting for replacement #5.

For now you can reflash whatever Rom your using and should set you right. When I get to pc I can make a dialer theme you can use to flash. Flashing works better because you don't get a ton of FC's when using metamorph. You'd flash it just like a Rom.

Easy enough:
1) copy zip file to root of sdcard (not in any folders)
2) reboot phone to recovery (power-on holding volume up button until you get the recovery screen)
3) choose flash zip.. (don't recall the exact wording at the moment, about 4th option down) and follow directions given on screen
4) once flash is successful, reboot to see effects and enjoy.
Attached is the flashable theme I made for you, enjoy!
Just to let you know, the main problem that you have/had is that the Phone.apk isn't where the Dialer is stored at. You'd want the Contacts.apk for that. Hope this helps in the future...

Yes, good point I also froze the bloat using Titanium Backup. Used the comprehensive list from this thread
Prior to freezing I also uninstalled as much of the Telstra app's as I could under Manage Applications (Foxtel, etc.)

All the bloat on that list I deleted... were never getting a telstra update so why not right? Everything is fine except voice commands and one other will fc constantly but a battery pull fixes that.

[CWM] Bootstrap Recovery

We've tested and can confirm this bootstrap recovery is working. Thank you to bane449 for testing. The recovery is a straight APK pull from the Droid X2. Worked thanks to the similarities between devices.
Instructions and download:
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-photon-4g-root-custom-recovery-now-available
Looks successful to me: DroidX2 Recovery GFAN.COM V2.5.1.8
And it booted back into Android properly, even
So what will this allow me to do? What are its advantages? What are the risks?

CWM allows users to easily install unsigned update packages. This will open up the Photon to pseudo-ROMs, all sorts of modifications, and more.
Forgive my ignorance but what is a "pseudo-Rom"?

Psuedo meaning "not really" a ROM. A locked bootloader will prevent true custom ROMs, but P-ROMs will be possible.
P-ROMs are based off of stock files and modifications. They don't replace the kernel or modem.
Yup i installed this and rebooted into recovery mode. It worked just fine for me. What happens if Sprint releases an OTA update? Can i recover root access or downgrade with this? Sounds like I can't because I can't modify the kernel.

Make sure your device is plugged into the wall charger when you do Reboot Recovery. That's the only way it'll work since it's a bootstrap recovery.

Can you explain why this is? I'm a little confused as to what makes a "bootstrap recovery" different from a regularly flashed "recovery.img".

Caveats:
This is not a *real* recovery. The way this recovery works is by hijacking portions of your boot process during system initialization and starting into recovery instead. So, if you hose your system *COMPLETELY* you will need to SBF. Specifically, if your logwrapper, logwrapper.bin, or hijack binary are missing from /system/bin, you will be screwed.
This is from koush himself concerning droid x/2 bootstrap. I would seriously wait til an sbf surfaces before flashing any of these "psuedo-ROMS" or even just deleting any system apk's. Just my opinion.

Does the phone need to be rooted first in order to installl this recovery apk?
Is this "ClockworkMod" recovery, or something else? If it's CWM, what version?
So what specifically did this do to my phone? What files were modified to allow this to run at bootup? Anybody have any info on this (just in case I want to return my phone to stock.)

This is CWM bootstrap. Original one was on the Droid X, created by Koushik Dutta. Then it was ported to the Defy. Then to the Atrix. Next, the Droid X2. Now, the Photon 4G.
V2.5.1.8
Sbf is gonna be your friend when it comes to unrooting and restoring. It will pop up soon.

[MOD]SprintLovers Icons, 1% battery for Stock2.08(odex&deodex) VIPER 1.3, SupraROM***

[MOD]SprintLovers Icons, 1% battery for Stock2.08(odex&deodex) VIPER 1.3, SupraROM***
All credit for these Icons goes to the creators of the Sprint Lovers ROMS onXDA as well as the original creator, schmittx].
Only issue at the present time is the SYNCing Icon is not animated. Working on it as this is being posted The 4G icon is also colored, but, the screenshot below doesn't show it because I was not in a 4G area when I took the shots.
Let me know of any issues. It can be flashed through TWRP Recovery, CWM, or unzipped and pushed to the appropriate locations.
\***Download link for 2.08(deodex and odex). Link for ViperROM 1.3**Download below***/
***8/23/2011***
***Confirmed Supported***
*Stock 2.08 (8/23/2011 Skin Support added by making battery discharging/charging icon background transparent. Should blend in with just about any skin or colored status bar.)
DOWNLOAD for ODEX HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L9MYS09L
DOWNLOAD for DEODEX HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XLHA9OYI
**Support now for 2.3.4 base of Supra ROM 1.4.1, use the DEODEX version above, however, it does revert to stock quick settings after flash. Working on testing it as we speak.**
*Supra ROM (w/2.3.3 as base ONLY) Users of this ROM should download the VIPER ROM Icon link.
*Viper 1.3 RC1 ROM support. Link:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=URVQDUP8
*SteelH ROM 2.01
Enjoy everyone!! Let me know how you like. And hit that Thanks button if you are satisfied.
You my friend is a scholar and a gentleman!! Wish I can hit thanks twice! Works perfectly except for the animation sync like you said. Again Thanks!

If you are connected to the computer via USB, then you may get that error. When testing, I used the command adb reboot recovery to get into recovery, pulled the USB cord from the phone, waited a minute or so and flashed fine.
Initially, I was getting the same error when I created them. It was due to the mounting of the data partition, not the system partition. My best guess is that when USB is connected to the phone, the phone unmounts the data and system partition automatically, so in my updater-script, the first thing it does is mount those two partitions. If it can't, you will get that error. I would try flashing it again without being connected to USB and let me know.

Could be the framework-res.apk or the com.htc.resources.apk has changed in Vipers ROM. Are you running the Deodex or ODEX version....these were created using the ODEXED version of the Stock Sprint ROM using that framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk as the base.

Help me achieve optimal settings without flashing a ROM on locked BL P769

I am done messing with this phone. I just want longer battery life. If the phone can be smooth as well, that would be great.
My plan is to flash one of the CWM backups running ICS (since the consensus seems to be that battery life is better on ICS). Or is the new V20f on par with ICS?
Anyways, once I have that sorted out, I will use TitaniumBackup to freeze as many bloatware apps as I can. Next, I'll flash the Rome v1.5 tweak (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301461). Finally, I'll install Nova Launcher.
Are there any other "safe" methods to optimize the phone (meaning, no multi-step maneuvers required to recover the phone in case of error)?
Argh!
Trying to restore my CWM backup gave an error in restoring /system! Now I can't get back into CWM and the LG Setup wizard crashes every time I turn the phone on!
Does the torture never end with this phone?
Do 10g rooted with Lelus method, install recovery, install init.d support for stock kernel, via CWM flash andrenaline_injector_rc3, ... profit?
edit here is the zip i used to install init.d support. there are many ways, but this works. dropbox.com/s/nwrna39jjw6fbgv/DooMLoRD-generic-init.d-support-v01.zip
This script will:
1) install generic init.d support
Before u begin:
1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
4) make sure that u have busybox installed
Unzip files on PC, connect phone, type "adb devices" to make sure you're connected and then run the .bat file
I'm on 20f from 10g and battery life is better IMO. I've also removed all bloatware
