[Q] Rooted and Unlocked Photon Problems - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I just rooted and unlocked my Photon over the weekend. I also flashed the Alien ROM and Alien Theme, but now my phone keeps force closing the phone application, won't load MMS and force closes Settings. I did some research on this ROM before flashing it and no one seems/ed to have the issues I am having. Can someone help resolve this problem? I am kinda new to this stuff...
Is there a newer version of Alien for the Photon other than build #1?
I am also open to suggestions for other ROMs... I am familiar with Laser (but don't like that it is largley 'stock'), Home Base (not a fan of the looks/styling), and I have read that CM7 on the Photon is unstable. If anyone has any others that are stable and won't force close everything that I access, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Need help with IM app

Hi everyone, I'm new on these forums and after looking through the forums, was unable to find a solution or even anyone else who seems to be having the same problem as me.
My problem: I recently rooted my mytouch 3g 1.2 and flashed to the latest cyanogen rom. The OS was noticably faster but I also noticed that my IM app was nowhere to be found. I am able to install apps with no problem and the OS is perfectly fine with the exception of the occasional lag. I currently have AIM installed but I prefer the stock IM app. Can anyone advise me on what I can do to regain my stock IM app? Thanks in advance.
Can anyone help? :\
think you need to be a bit more specific then "stock im"
only im I know that is stock for most windows mobiles
is messenger
It's a MyTouch. Android phone. And I'm talking about the stock IM app in 1.6.

Help!!!! My rooted droid eris 2.1 just all of a sudden WILL NOT download/installl market apps but will download app, etc from the internet If you can help in any way THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL!!
will it say it is downloading then not do anything after that or just not do anything at all? I was having that same prob on my moto droid. Reset my phone then they all installed perfect...
I had a similar issue yesterday but i did a complete wipe and reflashed my rom which solved the problem. If your market doesn't begin to work soon i would suggest that.
Android Market has been having issues for the last day. Google have been working on it.
I wouldn't do anything drastic to your phones for now, wait until the problem has been fixed!
HERE'S a linky
thanks!! and how do you update the droid eris to 2.2 i need good details thanks for all your help
I'm sure all your updating needs will be covered HERE.

[Q] 2.2.6 android market for CM 6.1.1?

i recently installed CyanogenMod 6.1.1 on my G2 and was wondering if it's possible to get the newer 2.2.6 Android market.
any help on the subject would be much appreciated!
From what I understand there has been success in running market 2.2.6 on froyo and on CM6.1. I had some issues at first with force closing but I think everything has been smoothed out by now. I'd recommend a nandroid first but I also don't think there's much chance of trashing your ROM as with flashing other things. Good luck, and tell us how it goes

[Q] custom rom for htc one v gsm

Hi
Not sure where to post this. Want as much exposure as i can get for a fast fix.
Basically, I have tried two custom roms:
AOKP JB rom
Paranoid Android
I would have stuck with any of these, but the AOKP rom would switch from Loudspeaker to normal during a phonecall. And the Paranoid Android has too many bugs in it that I cant run it without getting annoyed with the force closes etc.
Im now looking for either:
A FULLY WORKING CUSTOM ROM
or
AN OFFICIAL HTC ONE V STOCK ROM
hope you can point me to the right direction?
Thanks,

Installing New Roms

I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?

Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.
