Hi guys since cm9 is community built i figure you guys might have some good ideas on how to fix things so i'm making this thread for brainstorming and any general discussion and questions
Using the CM port to try and attempt to port other things, and try to fix that instead

What are some phones that share the same chip set? We could possibly port fixes from that device to this device

If they use the same or similar hardware the fixes should just drop in. Check there commits ans see what they did to fix things like data and camera

and im assuming you need that driver source correct? if so is there any way that you could make the source call for values from the pre-baked driver? ive heard of this being done before on another phone. they hacked around to get it to work with a gingerbread driver.

That would include writing a wrapper which is extremely difficult and I don't know how to it requires a very in dept knowledge of which all the calls mean and how to translate what the new kernel is calling to the old driver

i know one thing that might be worth doing... you could contact "mantera" over here about making a wrapper. cause im pretty sure they did that for the motorola triumph. (and that phone has no source)
http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/488824-dev-continuing-triumph-ics-development.html
i think he is even a member here on this forum too.
but yeah, he would be the one to ask about writing a wrapper.
doesnt the vivid have the same hardware? havent really checked the development over there recently but they have a sense 4.0 port almost fully functioning
Ignore
I'm convinced from a few logs I've seen since the ext.jar fix that the problem is the way it scans for data..
Doesn't the sensation have very similar hardware? Wouldn't their data fix be similar to what we need?
I am convinced that there is some very simple edit that is needed... and tho I hate suggesting it, data was the last issue to be resolved with all the gingerbread roms, has someone tried to contact x to see what the fix was he used for that?
Okay, so there are tons of files in the framework2.jar file that stock has needed for data in com/android/internal/telephony, and the same directory in CM9 framework.jar is missing many files compared to stock..
there is no framework2.jar for cm9, so I'm thinking that either we need to copy the files over that match from framework2.jar(Edit: no files match.. if i do whole directory I get UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTIONrg.jf.dexlib.Util.ExceptionWithContext: method index is too large.), or we need to try adding framework2.jar to the bootclasspath of the boot.img. The framework is supposed to be handling part of the data, but the cm9 framework is missing many files..
Basically, the stock rom has everything needed for data split between framework.jar and framework2.jar.. and for cm9/10 we need to recombine parts somehow- but the index for the classes.dex file is written when it is originally built..
Just some things to think about. Elements of framework need to be rebuilt from scratch with some missing files in com/android/internal/telephony contained in the classes.dex of the framework.jar
I don't know if this will help or not, but worth a try

Even if you have no coding experience at all, you can help. Testing is the easiest way to help. There are millions of lines of code and ways to set up these phones. Testing is the most important part of the development process. Without testers bugs will roam free. There are two separate major test categories, kernels and roms. Then minor testing such as mods/themes/etc. Kernels are the brains of the phone. Roms is the body. Both need to be tested and both need to be improved. When you test please do more than just quadrant. Make specific repeatable comments that will help some one fix the issue. Thanks and happy testing

I do have a project i want tested. On the razr forum there is a project call debtop. Can someone flash my newest hardvfp kernel and test debtop on the photon. I believe i got the kernel to support it.
Edit gentop not debtop
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Ok - I'd love to help, but I'm not sure what your kernel is or the gentop is? I've rooted my phone, messed with a few simple things here and there, but other than that - I'm still learning. I did install a custom ROM on my old Hero, but I haven't messed with the Photon.
I do have time though - I work a lot of night shifts and if shown how to do something, I learn it quickly! If I can be any help, message me and I'll do what I can to help out!
I gotcha bubb. I'm in a 4G area if you you are still working on the bootloader
Hell I will even let you remote control my computer. Just don't go into the folder that says mmmm lol
No need. I actually know how to install a 64 bit operating system. Lol. Im slowly working on it. Its not a bootloader problem. Motorolas official engineering phones with real unlocked factory bootloaders dont have 4g. So obviously we gotta look elsewhere. Its possibly recovery related or some form of security check. Once we find exactly what it we can fix it. The best way is to dd everything. Like dd / lol. Once with stock, then after unlock only then recovey change. Once all three is pulled. Someone needs to run a diff, or physically cross check everything, eek. Once the culprit is found we will squash it. so obviously you can see this will be time consuming. Way more time then I ever get. I would have to take a vacation just to get that kind of time. I can do the squashing after the fact but atm im stuck trying to blindly fix it

Okay this is to everyone wanting to help. Find me cool patches. Remember your looking for arm no neon stuff the kernel is 2.6.32.9(kinda). I might update to .50 if I can ever find those patches. Most stuff I can manually patch and do, but 2.6.32.* patches are huge and I need .patch's to do that. If you find kernels from other phones with cool stuff please make sure they actually post source. A bfs 400+ patch for 2.6.32.9 would be awesome, so would proper autogroups. Post findings here.
Thanks and happy hunting

I'm not a programmer but I would like to help if I can. Picked up my MoPho 3 weeks ago, rooted it, and did a couple buildprop tweaks but nothing else. Haven't unlocked it yet, either. I would like to flash a different rom and/or kernel but want to do more reading first. I also need to get the right sbf and such, too. Currently system version 45.3.6.MB855.sprint.en.us; Android 2.3.4; Baseband N_01.28.07R; Webtop WT-1.2.0-160; Kernel [email protected] #2; Build 4.5.1A-1SUN-198.6

Not sure if I can say much on here but try to move the signal to Verizon.
I saw on the zumocast advert on the motorola website the photon was sporting the LTE icon. Maybe a minor error with one of the artists or maybe a hint...
I know it's early and hard to get too much accomplished with the uniqueness of our device not to mention the s-on issue.
But I'm just curious if anyone has heard any rumor or knows anything about anyone working on a MIUI port.. I'm not expecting much yet as we don't even have any aosp goodness yet. But I thought I'd get the conversation started.

miui can be sense based (though until theres an official jellybean sense build, its tough to make your own patch rom)
i took a swing at getting miui launcher working on our stock build but kinda gave up when something that should have worked right...didnt
i may revisit it after christmas, idk
working on a sense base but theres alot of issues lol
also working on a asop base but i have talked to a few who claim the kernel will never let it boot so im still optimistic about it working but full functional no tell at this point

sorry for bringing up a old thread figured i keep posted
I tried to port it off of the cm10 base but I just got a error 7 in recovery before it would even begin to flash the Rom... Granted my porting was just copying most of the stuff off of a one xl and I just followed a basic tutorialon how to port so it really did not surprise me when it did not boot...

I can't be the only one who likes MIUI. Any word on this phone getting a port of it? Or will I just have to hold out hope that a special dev will eventually come along to help fulfill my deep, dark MIUI desires? :angel:
I've seen it already for the AT&T variant.
It will come if someone feels like porting it probably
It was being said that Beans was porting it but that was awhile ago.
It only needs the ril libraries transplanted into the Sprint Rom, but I don't have the patience to play with it

It will not work. You need the sense framework which is not able to be put into AOSP. If it were, it would have already been done. Same reason there are no sense widgets for AOSP. If we were able to port those things to AOSP, then no one would stick with Sense.

It can be done but it's super tasking. You would need to use a patch Rom service like miui decompile or crack that and place w/e other aosp roms files in and then build.
