Notes
1) Any QPST / SPC related things should be done on stock firmware.
2) If you want to ged rid of the "unlocked BL logo", download: http://skrilax.droid-developers.org/xt897/stock_logo.zip, unpack it, reboot the phone to fastboot open command line in the folder and type "moto-fastboot flash logo stocklogo_swapped.bin" to get stock boot logo.
3) If there is a filesystem check it will take a while to get past the CM bootanimation

First build is up (for GSM, CDMA in a couple of minutes). I havent' tested myself yet, but people for RAZR HD say it's just as useable as CM10.1.

Heads up everyone. You will lose Root Access and have to reroot when installing 4.3 Other than that everything is going good so far. You can root with MotoFail2Go zip tho.

Hey, umm, I feel weird asking but did you need to do anything different to build the source than CM-10.1?
When building mine stops (with errors) at either Focal or Alsa, with "make -i -k" I can't get it to make a flashable zip only the IMG's.
If nothing different, what Java and GCC version are you using?
((As I have said in other posts though, I build from source to save bandwidth, learn, and maybe contribute. Not to re-brand anybodys hard work.))

Can I use these gapps with 4.2.2?

Correct me if I am wrong, I do not think so though. 4.3 is a different API level than 4.2.2 so it will need it's own version of Gapps.

Just this. See http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46875/ .

Hey Skrillax, thanks!
Unfortunately, with me, It stays at the boot screen forever.
I have no idea what I should do to make it work.

Well it seems to be a long filesystem check. Give it 4 - 5 minutes first. I'm still on 4.2.2.

Hello again: I reached the welcome screen, finally. Unfortunately, there has been a chain of force-closes (never-ending). Should I start it all over or is it better to wait for a few more days?
Thanks again, mate.

I myself will wait until they start rolling nightlies for CM10.2 (at least Nexus 4).

You'll get a lot FC's at first. Let it be and after data comes up,force closes will be disappeared.

i am on the nightly from 03.08.2013 cm10.2 gsm version and it is running stable. only 1 force close after first boot and the finishing of the configuration (like languag setup, google acc. etc), this force close is from the clock but only this one time. this was the only fc until now.
the wifi/data/mobile phone connection seems good too.

Root
How do you you get root back ?
MotoFail2Go zip just hangs
adb phone offline
updating SDK.
got, the allow new computer RSA.

how to get root back:
1. Settings --> About Phone --> Tap 7 times on Build-Number. now you should have the deeloper options back.
2. Settings --> Developer options --> Root-Access. select here "Apps & ADB
3. activate USB Debugging.
4. Reboot, finish now you should have root again.

Silly Me
Updated ADB in the sdk dir., but kept running the bat file in the old dir.
Thanks-You

this is a new "feature" of android 4.3 and not a bug. even if the wifi is off, it will be used for localization.

Issue Reporting
Report device specific bugs to the Issues List. Please make sure to mark the issue with the Label "Milestone-CM10.1" so we can keep versions of CM issues separate.
Report CyanogenMod specific bugs to CyanogenMod's Jira Tracker.
NOTE:
Do not expect support if you have issues after you:
Use applications like CyanDelta
Restore data from Titanium Backup
Flash custom kernels
Use random flashable mods on top of CyanogenMod (except Google Apps)
Those things alter cyanogenmod and no one can expect me to support add-ons / random apps / etc. along with keeping our device maintained. Please keep this in mind. If you have an issue, remove all mods, remove all custom kernels, flash the kernel that comes with the cm.zip. At that point, please reply with issues.
FAQs:
* Q: Why don't i have Reboot -> Recovery/Bootloader any more?
* A: Read this
* Q: I'm having Google Play Music Issues! What do I do?
* A: Go to Settings -> Apps -> All. Disable Apollo, reboot your device, and then clear app data in Play Music. See this issue for details.

it wont boot on mine. hboot 1.14 flashed boot.img after full wipe . ideas?
Same, doesn't boot on my one x with 1.09
I love you so much h8rift. I'm going to flash this immediately. Happy holidays!
Update: It runs! everything is looking great at the moment
I'm on hboot 1.09 and I did the following:
- Factory reset
- Wiped system (redundant?)
- Wiped cache
- Wiped dalvik cache
- Installed cm10.1
- Installed 4.2 gapps
- Rebooted
(in that order)
Issues noticed so far:
- Google Now (specifically the voice search aspect) crashes -------- FIXED
- CRT animation is SUPER fast (I'm not sure if this is a bug or how it is supposed to be) -------- Not a bug
- One time when turning off the screen, the screen displayed a tan-ish color (I haven't been able to reproduce this though) -------- Nothing wrong
That is all for now, I would post this on the issue tracker, like you stated--but I want to see if it's just me having these issues or if it's everyone.
Thank you for all your hard work on this, h8rift and the rest of the team.
Well done h8. I'm excited to try this out. Absolutelygrim and I will have a new base for our MIUI.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Glad this got posted on a day like this
Merry Christmas to all, or Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate it
Wicked cool! I got my Christmas wish. Thanks h8rift

- just tested google now w/o issues :-S.
- CRT animation is supposed to be that fast .
- Not sure what could be causing that tan-ish stuff, keep an eye out. maybe there's a slight race condition where colorspace isn't loaded before display turns on. Either way, shouldn't be anything serious.

if you can get it booting again, get me a last_kmsg:

then PM it to me if you dont mind (don't post it in case it may have some sort of personal data in it like your email addy, etc.)
i cant get it booted. my question is why it does this. i got 4.1.2 aosp rom booted up just fine after this happened

That's weird about Google Now issue. If I click the microphone icon or say "Google", it immediately crashes. I'll try again with a new copy of gapps.

May have to do with some of the necessary kernel changes to get 4.2 going (and vsync, for that matter). getting a kernel msg for one or more of these breaking should help narrow down what is missing/broken so we can fix it or ifdef it in or what-have-you.
When we tested the mass kernel change towards vsync a couple of months ago, this happened.
I'm going to look back on what needed to be changed/removed and see if anything jumps out at me, but i'll need folks help who this is busted for as well.

[GSM Only] CM10 port for Photon Q

This is a CM10 (Jelly Bean, Android 4.1.2) firmware for Photon Q, and at this state only for those who made the SIM card mod and using it on GSM. It's not a official CyanogenMod, not supported by the CM team.
CDMA is being worked on by interloper and arrrghhh.
Credits: CM10 port for Photon Q is made by Skrilax_CZ and nadlabak. Futher credits go to epinter for RAZR HD port - with which this port shares a lot, also collaborated with Hashcode. And of course, CyanogenMod Team.

Yea, I'm trying to figure out why... I was really hoping it was a simple build.prop thing, but it seems to be deeper than that....
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I've build this thing from source many times now and I was able to get 1xRTT data... but I never got phone calls to function properly. com.android.phone keeps imploding...

CM10. 10.1 has cam issues on similar moto hardware, so Skrilax_CZ went with CM10...
As for an option to mount the external SD card as /sdcard, I assume you could just "do this" - I don't see why the option needs to be provided? Also, what would you do with the "internal" SD? Odd request.
An external card option was added to CM for the original photon, so I was hoping the same could be done for the Q. See screenshot.

If it's a part of CM, then I don't see why it wouldn't be available. Did you look and see it wasn't available...?
Does this option "combine" the external SD and internal SD? Interesting if so, wondering how it achieves this. The whole internal/external SD thing seems kind of half-baked to be honest.
By default a lot of apps use /sdsard so if you want to use your own external sdcard or bring it over from an old phone this option allows you to mount it as /sdcard instead of Moto's internal card.
I haven't flashed the ROM yet because I'm a CDMA guy, so I don't know if it's built in to CM.

It's not in the CM itself, this is part of the device specific settings. I haven't made it yet (for things like multipress, i.e in CZ press 'o' twice fast and it will write 'ó' etc.). Anyway, right, it's not difficult to do at all and I like that option too.
As for CM10.1, it's likely we'll be doing it together with RAZR HD / RAZR M guys, however, there are some things that need to be fixed in their sources to make it work on our phone (such as display driver; this will take some time). And also Camera isn't working on it, as it was rewritten in 4.2 - will also take time. So I picked CM10 first, to know the differences between this phone and the other QC phones from Moto and so we have something that works (when the GPS / CDMA gets fixed).
I've also pinpointed other issues while testing it. It appears suspend / resume is sometimes not working properly (extremely poor battery life may occur) - which sucks hard. Compared to stock ROM, audio speaker is too low too.
1) Any QPST / SPC related things should be done on stock firmware.

Screen on/off is a bit buggy (there's no timeout etc.)

If you plan to install more apps, space is a bit limited as it's using phone's internal memory instead of sdcard ext4 partition hack. There's approx. 200MB free in /data after extracting Ubuntu's rootfs.
Everything that I forgot / haven't noticed.
Prerequisites:
Have at least 1GB free on your sdcard prior flashing.
Have some experience at tinkering with your device. I won't be giving further step-by-step guidance as this is experimental thing, be a little experimental yourself.
7Zip and notepad++ (or equivalents) for updates from Ubuntu's mirror
Fresh installation instructions:
Want latest rootfs? Go to update instructions.
Download quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Download quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Do factory reset (ie. format /data, /cache, /sd-ext and /sdcard/.android_secure)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Update installation instructions:
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Open quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip with 7zip and go to META-INF\com\google\android\
Right-click updater-script and click Edit (make sure you have proper editor set as default, e.g. notepad++).
Do these changes to the script file: https://gist.github.com/Mustaavalkosta/5123952 (make sure you have correct timestamp instead of leaving XXXXXXXX in it) and save the file.
Close the editor and 7zip should ask you if you want to update the file in the zip. Of course select yes.
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Removal instructions:
Reboot to recovery
Restore nandroid or do factory reset and flash whatever you want.

Q&A:
Q: Can I flash KangBang perfomance kernel or some other kernel?
A: No, unless it includes required kernel changes.
Q: How can I build Ubuntu Touch myself?
A: Follow Ubuntu's guide and apply my local_manifest. Then just fix quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip's updater-script (see update instructions above) and you are good to go.
Q: How do I shutdown the device?
A: Pressing power button continuously for couple of seconds seems to switch it off but since there's zero userspace feedback about this happening I prefer the options below from Ubuntu's wiki.
Currently the power button does not work with recent kernels, so one of the following options must be run:
remove the battery and replace it
run adb reboot (will obviously reboot, not shutdown)
run "reboot -p" from the adb shell
Code:
adb root
*unplug the cable and replug it*
adb shell reboot -p
Q: Something about something something something.
A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.
i just tried thison my HTC One X+ and it looks and feels really good. Fast and responsive! I hope that the same goes for my baby (DHD/I4G).
I look forward to to try it! Thaaaaanks!

I just got wifi to work. You can add /system/etc/init.d/21bcmdhd script with something like "modprobe bcmdhd" in it or wait for me to upload updated build on top of the current one and reflash. I'll add edit to this post when it's available for download.
Edit: Re-upload done on quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip. Just reflash it and you should have working wifi.
I do not believe it, but it works!
It is true that slow, slipped on the keyboard, but it works!
Although yet to issue a sound: D
Can I see a screen shots and some videos of this ROM
This is a dev preview so you'll get limited features, no music player, lack of customization of some widgets/apps etc.
wow seems promising.... reserved for the future
Wow!
Really nice!
Good to try
Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]
Never thought this would be comming
Wow! Thanks to the devs for porting this to our device! Now we just have to wait for the usable version/release in a "couple of weeks"... :fingers-crossed:
Well... I tested it. There seems to be a lot that's not working, but the basic interface works just fine. Nice to be able to try out the gestures and interface.

Try more like a couple of months since that is the time that the devs of the Ubuntu said it would take to get it fully working and then the devs for our DHD can have a go at it. Until then this is just a dev preview.
Also, very nice to see this OS ported to our device in such an early stage. Thanks Mustaavalkosta, hope you assemble a good team once this OS is out of development stage and I wish you have success in getting it to work on the DHD. :good::fingers-crossed:
i really want to see this on one s... -=D

Noticed the same on CM10 2013-04-18.
This minor bug is also present in CM10 (all builds), yes.
Nice job Skrilax and nadlabak
I want to try it but I think I will wait until video recording will be OK.
I heard that new kernel is needed? Who is developing this new kernel (if someone is doing this)? Motorola or it must be some modified custom kernel?
And what is wrong with keyboard backlight? Is it non-working at all or it's just some problem with automatic turning on and off?

3.4 kernel is in work by Hashcode, this uses heavily patched 3.0.y kernel (shared with all Motorola QC phones on MSM8960) and I don't expect that video camera will work until 3.4 kernel is used.
Keyboard backlight works, only automatic brightness will not work (yet).
I have an issue flashing ROM from 29/04/2013.
The are two errors (chown 0 1000 and chmod 750) to the /system/bin/iptables binary, because the file does not exist.
//Update: Attached report.log
Bad download (minzip: inflate read failed (32 vs 32768)).

I already thought about this. The md5sum is correct. I have the same problem with the build from today.
Maybe I'm having issues with my external sdcard, i discovered some strange files on it.
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------
Well... Seems like a sdcard issue. Flashing from internal storage worked perfectly.:good:
Please remember that in regard to CDMA, we totally rely on your feedback.
Just let us know what works and what not, thanks.
So Stock JB is needed to use this? Where could I get that, from my understanding I´d have to wait for the OTA or use the SOAK, right?
Anyway, as long as Video ain´t working, CM10 will do fine
At the moment I'm at the ROM of 30/04/2013. But I can't upgrad the the one from 01/05/2013 or 02/05/2013. Checksum is correct, ROM has been loaded from internal storage, so this can't be an issue with the external sd card. Unfortunately I can't find the recovery.log file. It is not at /sdcard/clockworkmod where it should have been copied to.
An other issue I have is with NFC. On the CM10.0 build there was a point in the settings under "wireless&networks/more" where NFC could be activated/deactivated and so on. At the CM10.1 build there is nothing. So I can't test if it works or not. Could you reactivate this please?
Also if you enable NFC it would be great to have a point for NFC in the quick settings.

Great, thank you! :good:
So I only have to understand why the flashing doesn't work for me.
Ok, I was able to flash the last two ROMs.
NFC works!
But you should add the following to the build.prop:
Code:
#NFC
debug.nfc.fw_download=true
debug.nfc.se=true
This enables nfc for the Play Store. Otherwise it is not possible to get nfc specific apps like nfc taginfo and several others!

Any known bugs ?
In the last build while calling, whenever the SIM selection comes, the UI used to freeze and i needed to restart ?
Is that still there ?

I haven't tried calling, but since I'm still on this ROM, I'm gonna try it. Will give you feedbacks tomorrow. Its the middle of the night here so I can't make any calls

Happened to me randomly 3-4 times a day (in the last rom) after making few calls only. Need to reboot and things go fine again
I have a small request since I'm a total noob at f#cking around with ROMs and my device root directories: Make a CM 13 for Lenovo A536? I tried to use one from the well-known MTKRoms that generalized their ROM for all MT6582 devices and caused my phone to enter a bootloop.
I was forced to install from backup and am now trying to pull my boot.img with no fruitful result. Guess I'm forced to stick with CM 12.1. Thanks for this update.

Actually I've already ported CM13, but due to its instability I won't release (that's what I had in mind, until I saw this comment). Since you want it so badly, I'll release it for you.

3G data connection, GPS issues
I have flash it on my Lenovo a536, but I have the same issues as any CM 12.1 roms. I'm working with 3G data connection only on SIM 1. If for some reason the network switched from 3G to 2G, then the data connection dropped and stay that way until I restart the device. Is there any work around about it?
As for the GPS, some times it locks about 2 - 3 minutes and sometimes it could take 15 - 20 minutes. The tests performed every time on the same location outside. The worst part is when it locks, the position error starts from 15 meters and starts drops to 5 meters, with the use of 7 - 8 satellites. Then it starts to move up again to 15 meters, with the same satellites use. That makes GPS completely inaccurate. Also when I enable 3G data connection, then the GPS signal gets lost and some times it came back but the location error is worst.
For daily use I'm working with PussyFap4. The time to lock GPS it takes from 1 - 2 minutes max and 4 second min. When it locks the position error is about 2 - 4 meters constant and the 3G connection data it doesn't affect GPS signal. Also the switch of the network from 3G to 2G it doesn't affect the data connection.
getting error that installation aborted?...
can you help me please !
