Hello everyone,
First off I'd like to say that I'm a big fan of the site and have been referencing it ever since i got my HTC EVO years ago. You guys rock!
The reason I'm here is because I have a Motorola Photon currently running CM9 with Jelly Bean. I like it, however I don't like having to tether with 3g speeds when I know something faster is out there.
So my main question is: Have there been any ROMs (Jellybean or otherwise) that allow for 4g usage? If so, could you direct to where I could find them?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

That thread seems a bit dated now. I am on 198_7. Can I pick any custom rom and lock the bootloader to gain 4g?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
No. Custom ROMs (ics, jb, etc.) use custom kernels, which are not supported on a locked bootloader. Sorry.

Has anyone made the new ICS Sprint leak stock rooted version CWM flashable?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
You know.... People that don't know how to title their topics are getting really annoying here at XDA. NO! THERE WAS NO LEAK! STOP ASKING! When we come out with one, you'll know it.
It's almost like I see a thread like this every other day. lol. But oh well. However, I so can't wait for it to come out cause I need to re-do my phone soon.
Yeah just wanted the stock ICS one. I thought I had read about a leak guess not. :'(

To answer the original question, while it is not exactly stock, Mean Rom Ics has incorporated the latest leak files into his Rom (and improved on them). It is mainly stock with improvements.

Give Booster Shot, the Kingdom port, a chance. It's fully functional, including 3D. It's my daily driver. It is not based on the VM leak! It's been wonderful for me as the other ICS ROM's based on the leaks have something about them that is quirky on my phone. The port has no quirks for me.
I've seen a few people working on jb. I've even seen some jb animations and features in some ics roms so my question is how far away is it from being on ny phone and who's got the best jb Rom out now, cuz I'm feeling adventurous and I'm wanting to test drive it. Trouble is I'm a noob *groans from the crowd* but I'm not an idiot and if anyone is looking for someone to test their Rom and see how it goes if ur willing to explain what I need to do to give you reliable and useful information I'm willing to do this.

If you are CDMA, there are some alpha builds in the CDMA development forum. Some major bugs still, but you did say you wanted to test it out. Here's one:

It's still early for fully functioning JB rom, but there are developers working on this, so we just have to believe that it will be soon availible.
Motorola announced they will be unlocking bootloaders. What are the odds they allow it on older devices...

Will this official unlock allow 4G on custom roms?

Monkeys just flew out of my butt...
interesting that the article states, " Photon Q will be the first device to have support for the unlock tool."
I was under the impression that the Photon Q was being shipped unlocked out of the box based on what tsdeaton said.

Everything I read said it would be unlockable, not unlocked out of the box.

Has anyone tried the verify tool on the Motorola unlock site yet to see if photon is supported?

On android central they said that (this is about other phones) "moto says that they have to evaluate that on a phone by phone basis, and that they have worked with Sprint to come up with a solution that's favorable to everyone involved." And no it's not unlocked out of the box.

Too much beggin and problems with this phone that is why I am considering going with a Samsung phone.
BY the time ICS (way later sometime this year) gets official and with a locked bootloader what is the point anymore?

Unless you're already stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5, than when official ICS drops for our device, I guarantee that users will be able to flash the official update with a modified unlocked bootloader!
Also, when official ICS does come out, that'll cure ALL out current minor issues with custom ROMs! To be really honest with you tho, the custom Jelly Bean ROMs we have out now in the development section are a TON more stable and usable than the ICS ROMs that we had previously!

For s-on Mikey has been the go to dev. He gives a lot of support to users that are s-on
You can use any ROM while S-On. I know, because I tried them. You can use fastboot with a computer for using the Flash Image GUI app (my preference) and flash the kernel by loading the rom's zip file. Use the search feature on xda and YouTube for better instructions.
Long story short, you're not restricted to Sense Roms as you might want to assume.

I'd say viper 4g, my 1st custom ROM and I was s on, lots if customizing. Tried mean bean after being in cm10, only to do pro update, and didn't like it like viper 4g. Although I hate sense period lol

Like they said man, their are tons of thread asking the same thing...
But to answer your question, every international Rom will work on our model, however you will loose wifi calling (it's tmobile specific and unless you flash a stock Rom you won't have in any other Rom).

Don't do it. There is another thread in this forum where some one lost their, hspa data.
It's generally better to wait until ruins stabilize brie you start flashing unless you are masochistic.

Yah you need to do some reading.
That said, Android Revolution and TrickDroid work great for TMo and have all the TMo stuff including wifi calling included. There probably are others, but these two are by far the most popular. I personally run TrickDroid.
