Copy the ZIP file to your SD card
Reboot to CWM
wipe syatem,data,dalvik cache,wipe cache
Install custom Rom zip
Install Google Apps zip
Reboot
Bugs
WiiMax (As all Photon Roms)
Dock Audio
Need to disable and re-enable notification flash light in settings for it to work properly
Duplicate SMS (Random if issue arises boot into recovery and wipe d. cache and cache. Temp fix only still working on it)
Phone.apk Force Close (random doesn't effect usage mainly for GSM users)
Code:
If you have FC on Phone.apk when you reboot the device follow steps below.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks
Enable "Use only 2G networks"
Reboot
Afterwards you can uncheck and reboot no more FC (I believe this should only be a GSM issue)
Any other issues you find please PM me with a logcat! Enjoy the Rom!

Thanks, it is up and ready for download! Activating the Jelly settings in DX Settings looks slick! Hope you enjoy! Very fast rom here! Let me know what you think!

@ all Photon users giving this port a try...
From here on out it would be nice if you guys could help WiredAnim to iron out the last few issues. We helped him with the port as far as we could (and it was surely a steep learning curve for him to dive into ROM development), but since no one of us has the device nor has deeper knowledge about it we got as far as we could.
Enjoy the result of his hard work and sleepless nights, and, as already said, help straightening out the last few problems.

What's up with the lockscreen? PS are you CDMA or GSM?

It was doing that before but I fixed it, clear your cache and cookies in your browser, that should fix it. Let me know.

It's really nice to see our ROM ported to such great device as Photon. I hope that we will have a lot of projects.

Every link in this thread is good, so I don't know what are you talking about. Check twice before posting such things.

Installing all of my apps now, and this is pretty sweet so far. Make sure you enable the jb notifications and status bar and apply the theme and it looks sweet!

Glad to hear it, there were some small issues with the lockscreen at first, thought they might be back (glad they aren't!) Also happy to hear no FCing!!!
