AOKP JB Build 7 - Motorola Photon 4G

Ok. I've decided to try to give the rom located below a whirl.
According to the install instructions it says not to wipe but to use the aroma installer to chose wiping options.
However, when I flashed the rom within CWM 5.5.0.4 it installed saying updated was installed. I didn't see any sort of "installer" prompting me to wipe anything.
So I guess I'm just confused as to what was supposed to happen. I also flashed the fix from thebill for the dual usb mount and now I no longer have a status bar and I constantly get "system ui has stopped" and "usb has stopped.
Any help would be appreciated.

He said he didn't wipe anything. From what I'm understanding the aroma installer didn't start. Are you sure you downloaded the aroma version?

Regarding knowing if I downloaded the Aroma version...No, actually I'm not sure. To be honest I was quite confused by the "download" page. I've downloaded/flashed many roms but I was not clear on what was supposed to be downloaded and flashed this time. There were links left and right.
I went to the "All Builds will be Located HERE" section of the OP then went to jokersax development page and selected the AOKP Build 7 under Th3Bill section. If that's not the correct version then please let me know where I'm to find the correct one.
I installed that one because when clicking the Aroma Installer link on the OP I was not sure about what exactly I was looking at since I've never used it and it's my understanding that it's built into the rom. Also, after I flashed the rom sans Aroma Installer, I no longer have the sd card viewable when connected via usb to pc so I flashed the usb fix and my notification bar disappeared with no way of accessing it, along with a "system ui" error and a "usb" error that decided to pop up nonstop. Would that be due to the aroma installer not running at all during installation? I flashed the rom again and the errors went away and my notifcation bar came back. Sorry for the ?'s but the unaccessible sd card has become a real pain in the arse.
I appreciate the responses guys.

For some reason I thought 7 was the ICS build but its the JB. There is no aroma for JB yet he just hasn't updated the op yet since he just changed the ICS aokp thread to the JB one. He updated to build 8 so download that one and the USB fix should be built in already.
If you continue to have problems don't hesitate to post on the aokp thread though I don't mind helping here lol

Thanks. Yeah I'm still a noob poster and apparently cannot post within the development threads.
Ok. So I had actually noticed the Build 8 and downloaded and flashed it. But I soon had more problems. Random reboots and gapps not working properly. I didn't wipe anything before doing so. Maybe that was the problem. Luckily I'd made and nandroid backup and am back on Build 7 with just the sd card still being a problem. I'd like to get the usb fix to work. Working with Build 7, how would you proceed? Just flashing the usb fix gives me the errors I posted previously.

Hm not sure why you're having all these issues maybe you should just back up all your apps in TB and just try a fresh install. Might be left over data screwing your stuff up.

Thanks. I was afraid I'd have to fully wipe and flash again. I appreciate your help. I'm thinking its stemming from when I followed the directions of not wiping prior to installing. Yeah, could be it.

Your post is pretty vague regarding the circumstances of your problem.
Get the md5 checksum for the ROM, and check it with an md5 checker app. I have been using hashdroid from the market. Or you can get a freeware app for your pc, just Google it.
Alternatively, download the ROM again. And double check the OP's installation instructions.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Try getting superwipe, or you can go into recovery and format boot, system, data and cache. Unless you have tried this before I'm betting it will solve your problems. Hope this helps. +1 on doublechecking the md5 I never do but it might well b a bad download. I'd still recommend the formatting as this will ensure everything is erased and you are starting fresh.

Just download the ROM again. Full wipe and reinstall. You should be fine.

I have the same issue, post it in the ViperRom post but basically everyone said never seen it before and suggested all that has been suggested here. I went through all that: re downloading, checking the M5d, even formatting my SD card.
Kept trying till I found out that it is a Kernel issue, my phone doesn't seem to like the stock kernel with that Rom ( the only Rom with the issue), I finally tried showDown Kernel just to test it and that worked, now I am currently using it with natarchy Kernel.
Hopefully this will help you.

That kind of doesnt make sense cause viper includes its own kernel (stock) so whatever kernel you have will be overwritten with that kernel when you flash viperom.. But good you got it fixed.

I overrode the included kernel with another one after flashing the rom.
Another way after it tries to start I pull the battery, push the volume down then power it up to get back to recovery and flash another kernel that works, that is the only way it works for me now.

Where in the process are you getting these errors? There are multiple steps to installing ICS that this could occur. What ROM are you running right now? If stock, is it 2.1 or 2.2? Do you have CWR installed? Is it installed with Update.zip or through ROM Manager? Did you flash CM7 before ICS?
Simply putting that you got this error is not enough information for us to diagnose and help.
Edit::: also please don't spam the other posts with "Good" or "Great to hear that" to get your post count up like was done in Themes and Apps section. There are many threads to that you can post in to get the count up legitimately.

hi ,
i have the stock rom (2.2) CWR is not installed , i have not Flash CM7 before ICS
That is the problem. Go to my guide in the General or in my sign and follow it.
it rooted? you have the right CWM rec on it? im not a pro but i know that might be it
You must install CyanogenMod 7 before install a ICS rom.
it's the best form if you dont wanna have problem with the bootloader and bricked your phone!!

you have to make sure your rooted
then install ClockWorkMod recovery onto the phone,
then install CM7 after it boots back to recovery
then wipe data and cache
then install ics passion wait for it to boot all the way back to recovery for the last time
install the clean up patch and the phone will work perfect

what if you didn't let let it settle for 20 minutes? I didn't most of thing seems alright, except that the dial keys seem to be sticky if I hold it a hair too long, like when you try to do quick dial, the key will stay selected and you can't dial other numbers until it unstick.
I'm using Passion 13, not sure if I have kiss 2.2.
A question for everyone: can't Passion 13 or ICS for Vibrant in general let you assign phone number for quick dial? You have to use direct dial widget?

Usually a boot into recovery, fix permission and wipe cache and dalvik cache will clear this up. But sometimes it is just a bad download too.

It is always a good idea to let the phone go through a "settling" period after you flash it. There are RAM tweaks to finish, media scanning and a host of other things that need to be completed as you just installed a completely new operating system on your phone. Especially don't log into Market or Titanium and start restoring as this can cause problems long term. What is 20 mins compared to problems and hassles for the next few days/weeks.
If you don't know if you have Kiss 2.2 on your phone, then you don't have it b/c you have to flash it. See HERE

How's this for a noob/newb question?
So I'm using a Photon 4G, which is on SBF 198_7, is rooted and unlocked (obviously), and for some reason absolutely refuses to boot the CM9 Beta. Currently I'm flashing 0.3.3 but previous attempts with .4 had the same result. I follow the instructions step for step (meaning I format system, cache, and data as well as perform a factory reset in CWM (running 5.0.2.7-photon3, although I've also tried the newest of the versions posted by Jokersax). When I install and reboot the phone sits on the red circle screen.
My logcat says:
exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)
which to me is saying that /system may not be mounted at all.... I've read the CWM 5.0.2.8 has this problem but not with 5.0.2.7. Any ideas on what I should try to get past this issue?
Thanks!

If no worky, then this miggghhhtt:
This are the steps to be able to boot into 4.0:
1. Wipe everything as usual in CWM by Joker
2. Flash 0.3.1 and only 0.3.1
3. Reboot, into 0.3.1
4. Let it sit for 1 minute, mess around in it for that time.
5. Reboot into Recovery(CWM by Joker).
6. Flash 0.4.0, gapps and or the usual.
7. You can now reboot into it.

Odd. Can't imagine why it won't read mine. I've just tried v2 and v3. Several downloads and flashes of each.

I've also tried ext3 and ext4 sdcard.
Wonder if its because they are partitioned?
Its really not that big of a deal , just a few extra steps for me.
Edit : I take that back, it is kinda a big deal as nandroid won't work due to not being able to read my sdcard.

This has been a similar issue for me on .4 and the version before.
If it seems like you followed the instructions but you are still stuck at the motorola dual core screen try installing one of these kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520417
They are at the bottom of the post and I used the 1.0 ghz one.
It solved the problem both times for me! Idk if Jokers' CM9 comes with a kernel or if you are supposed to track one down but this worked for me ..
OK a couple things with CM9 0.4.0 i'm noticing. These may or may not be known. Camcorder lags badly and then crashes everything. No macro option in the camera. Also, is there a way in ICS to have USB storage enabled by default when connecting to computer as it is in GB?

the camcorder is a known issue, and i dont know about the usb. i dont use it much. i use wifi file explorer to move anything i need to my phone.
OK thanks. Sucks that you need 3 keystrokes to turn usb on. Another thing I'm noticing is that once the phone goes to sleep the backlighting on the soft keys does not come back on. I wish i was smart as the devs to help with this stuff. I don't wanna sound like i'm complaining. Just making some bugs known.

Touch screen glitch?

Hello
first off let me say thanks in advance to anyone who can help me shed some light on this matter.
im trying to follow forum rules (i have used them before) and used the search function. so if i missed it im sorry. but here is as much info as i can give.
so i have a Tmobile samsung galaxy s vibrant. great phone love it. it had eclair on it. i used samsung kies to update it to froyo 2.2. that was the most i knew you could update a phone. until i found out you can do more. so i instantly wanted to flash to a the best ROM i could find info and was directed to the jelly bean Rom. i initially wanted to try the helly bean ROM (not sure if there is a difference) but im new to this and went with the rom i could find the most info on. found this guy on youtube. since i can post out side links yet. he calls him self "DJ eddie one" who was also recommended by the team passion forum. again im new to this so bare with me. so i tried to go through the process. I'm sure you all know that you cant just go from froyo to another rom. so i had to go back to stock. i re flashed the phone back to eclair via Odin by the same guy in his "return vibrant back to stock" video no problem. back everything up and made it back to stock. touch screen has response and i can unlock the phone and use it like normal. here is the deal now. after i went through the whole process of flashing it and going from ICS to slim bean and then to jelly bean. the home screen comes up and says "swipe here" or "touch here" or "start" or what ever. the screen does not respond. the volume buttons raise the volume and the power button turns the screen off and if i hold the power power button i get the "airplane mode"/"power off" options but cannot select anything. i thought i had done something wrong so i did the process over again. 3 times. even stopped at each rom change just to check it out as i processed through the process. no change. flash back to Eclair stock. and it works fine.
please help. i hate elcair. im sick of it. i want my free mobile hot spot back so i can listen to NPR news ap on my ipod touch in my car cuz i dont have a radio. and froyo blows too. if you're wondering why i can afford a snazzy phone and ipod touch but not a car stereo its because i drive an RX7. Cheers please help! i sure hope its something stupid (almost always is with me) i tend to over think things. plus i work on PCs and MACs for a living. i setup freaking networks for Allah sake. its frustrating to get stuck on a some phone software. AAAAHHHHHAAA.. *end rant*
thanks again.
hysterically yours

Well if your running hellybean. It sounds like it might just be a bad flash. Don't Odin back to stock.
1.go into recovery and format system.
2. Wipe cache.
3. Go into advanced settings and wipe dalvik cache.
4 go into mounts and storage and format /boot and format /system.
Reflaah the hellybean allinone(it depends which hellybean build were you flashing)
5.flash the hellybean add on and reeboot

ok,
so i did all that and still no change. but im pretty sure i must have missed something when i initially flashed the phone. cuz i have no idea what the hellybean add on is you speak of.
Go to the Helly Bean thread in the developers forum. Go to page one and it should have a link to the addon package.
I had a glitch like yours one time where the touch screen acted like it was unplugged (for lack of better way to describe it). I popped battery out and rebooted and it was fine.
If not, Odin back to stock and follow my guide I posted in the Status 7 error thread. Page 3 I think.

Try flashing CM10 instead of Helly Bean. Helly_Bean's installation can be somewhat tedious, but CM10 is just one zip file. Here is a link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775271

Well now the hellybean ROM got its all in one finally. But seems you may need to somehow fix the calibration of the screen.

and how would i do that? i mean what would cause the screen not to work? i was fine when eclair was on it and fine when foryo was on it. i go through the process of flashing it to ICS Passion then to Slim Bean and then to Jelly Bean and the screen just stops? i even stopped at eat Flash cuz i wanted to see what they looked like before made it to jelly bean. and each one the screen did work. i was thinking some sort of kernel file handles that or driver? correct me if im wrong.

That is the link for the addon package. Choose the one for Helly Bean. Its up to you whether its the regular or inverted. Should be able to just flash away.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30237539
The second link is for the install method I used. It may be overkill, but its the only way that would work for me, and it gave me a good clean install. It looks like a lot but it really doesnt take long..
I'm sorry guys bare with me. while i try to grasp this. im currently running the recovery software CWM-based recovery V6.0.1.1
since i cant get the ROM to work the screen can i mount the phone to USB drive from that recovery? or do i need to Odin back to stock and start over? so that i can mount back the USB and transfer the files i need.

Thank you for clearing up that link for me.
In that thread stated are the files i need to flash the phone. in there is this link (http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/) which i have been to before. i guess i got confused as to what files i needed from the link because there are a few directories in there with lots of other files and i wasnt sure which i needed. Example; in that link if i click on kernel link it takes me to the next directory with numbers. ( i assume these are versions) then if i click on 113 it takes me to another dir of files. i can only assume i want the one that is lableled "Devil3_1.1.3_HB_vibrant_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807.zip"
im just confused as to what files i do need and what i dont need. im sorry to be such a pest.

thanks toast;
whats the difference of the inverted as apposed to the regular? if i try one can i go back to try the other?
in reference to your second link;
i can flash back to sock with odin no problem.
the rest of the items needed on the list though
Gingerbread bootloader installed
-Bionix V fishman ROM (2.2 with Bali kernel, any 2.2 ROM may do.. YMMV)
-latest CM9 nightly (ICS)
-latest Helly Bean All In One and Add-on package.
i can get this from the same link?
The rest of the items you'll need to search for. GB boot loaders has a whole sticky devoted to it, how to do it, etc.
You can find the bionix ROM and CM9 nighty (ICS) in the android development forum (hit your back button once and you should see the development forum)
You'll be fine, just download everything you need, follow instructions, and you'll be set.
I've never used inverted apps, I assume it changes the look of them.

Alright toast,
just verify with me that i found the right stuff here so i don't go on some wild goose chase.
Bionix V fishman ROM (2.2 with Bali kernel, any 2.2 ROM may do.. YMMV)
fond here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441976
latest CM9 nightly (ICS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575170
the Helly bean and add on package was post already
this one i think http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/addons/
Yep.. with the Bionix ROM, I download and flashed the package via CWM, I didn't use the Odin image. Either way should work fine. Your last link is directly to the add-on package, here is the link to the ROM http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/rom/
I would download and use the 8/13 build of Helly Bean. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Just don't forget to flash to GB bootloader. You may have done that already, if not read about and follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
Have fun!
The inverted gapps change white to black and black to white, for example in gmail the screen will be black and red with white writing.
There are two benefits from this
1. They look cool IMO.
2. It uses less battery, white screens draw more current.

Rotary, just received your pm. Seems like your still in the same boat. Touch screen not working.
Can you confirm your status now? It appeared that your touch screen will work while on eclair, but on no other ROM. Is that still your current situation?
Hey toast just looking over the thread, don't know if he still needs it but the hellybean zip he posted is a kernel zip not the ROM.

Update on this thread:
Last night via GTalk Rotary_Bunta and I:
1) Odined to stock, booted up checked touch screen. Worked good.
2) Flashed Bionix V, booted, touch screen working good.
3) Flashed GB bootloader, reboot checked touch screen.. working good.
4) Flashed CM9 Nightly... touch screen not working.
5) decided to proceed to see if phone just hated the ICS ROM, and flashed Helly Bean. Flashed x2, installed add-ons and touch screen doesn't work. Boots up and cannot slide ring to unlock screen.

Flash CM7 and then tell me results of that.

Update: He flashed CM7 = no touch screen response.
Tried different kernels. Power button won't even wake screen. Flash back to 2.1 or 2.2 and all is well. Touch screen and buttons work just fine.
Flashed Glitch kernel w/ cm7 to see if there were any changes at all, made no difference.

What have I done wrong. I rooted a friends note as I did mine. Followed Canadian rooting guide. Went to install new cm10.1 and got a error. Blah blah blah error "bad". Redownloaded 4 times withe the same result.

Perhaps give TWRP2 a try as the recovery. I've had more success with it over CWM with newer ROMs and never went back to CWM.
When reporting an issue... it's a fantastic idea to describe your problem as clearly as you can.
"Error blah blah blah Bad ... blah blah blah" doesn't really help anyone to help you.
Cwm gave your an error, now I can only assume it was a status 7 error.
That means your recovery is older than the type of script used in the zip to flash the rom.
To fix this, do as the poster above said and get the latest twrp, or find an updated version of cwm.
I personally use twrp so I'm not 100% sure where to find the latest cwm if it's not here on xda.
Now... if this isn't the error you're getting. Do yourself a favor and just flash that rom and
POST EVERY SINGLE THING CWM SAYS.
LETTER FOR LETTER.
Hey Folks, The error I am seeing is on both TWRP and CWM. E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130303-NIGHTLY-quincyatt.zip(Bad) Installation Aborted.

And transfer to your phone/sd card via USB cable or SD card adapter on PC.
You did install CWM properly and aren't still using stock recovery?
Problem has been solved. I used the USSD code for reset, went to stock and re did everything and a way I go. Everything works no. What I did before is beyond me. Thanks alot to everyone who has offered their help! Greatly appreciated...

Hi,
what did you mean you went back to stock? and what is USSD?
here are my issues:
Hi, I really love this CM 10.1 ROM I am running the 10.1 201330209-unofficfial-quinctatt. Everything works fine except when I reboot the phone it loads the boost screen starts up and then freeze once done with the boot screen.
SO I need to restart the phone a few times to be able to get it back on.
---also I have 5.8.4.3 CWM in stalled and try to use ROM manager when it works even got the paid version but booting into CWM works best.
I am unable to install the latest cm-10.1-20130306-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. I get a.
--- "zip status 7 aborted message.
Also when I try to install cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-quincyatt-M2.zip. it installs fine,
But when I try to place calls.
---there is no sound on the speaker or external or internal.
I would like to stay current on the nightlies but are these just some of the glitches that come with it?
---Also I tried installing the GB-modem because my GPS wont lock, I think that is when the phone quit allowing me to make calls(no sound on speakers) which help the gps a little I guess? not really.
I am now back on the i717UCLF6 baseband.
If it wasnt for my nandroid back up I would be totally LOST!
I mostly use liquid Mod it works best, love it! but would like to be on 10.1 CM. Still no gps lock though. I REALLY NEED GPS, i drive a lot for work.
I know there is a lot going on here buy ANY! help is very much appreciated!
Install the latest TWRP recovery ...IMHO And although I might get flames thrown for this, use recovery to flash directly, and not through the rom manager app.
It has caused users some grief...
Regarding your sound and boot errors, boot into recovery and wipe all caches ....cache/dalvik cache .....then reboot too test. It sounds as if your flash may be dirty somehow. And if restoring apps to your new roms by using titanium backup or other apps, restore only the APK and not the associated data stored by those apps.
CM nightly builds are buggy yes, and will have errors not found in stable builds. But having used the same build you are referring too only a day ago, I can tell you that my sound was okay with the M2 rom.
And I commend you on the creation of a proper nandroid backup. It seems all too often we find users in real trouble with no backup in their pocket to save them.
Call me anal retentive, but I flash bleeding edge tweaks every day, and I keep backups compatible to all 3 recoveries we have for the note just for this type of emergency.
The latest TWRP and a cache cleaning should help you with both the current build, and future builds to come.
Good luck, and happy flashing ...g
