[ROM]Touch_of_Photons (BETA) v1

First and foremost I take no credit for anything contained in this ROM. I have taken bits and pieces from various ROMs I like and rolled my own.
The base is Binny's stock ROM.
LauncherPro from unrevolved by ozzeh
Has Both HTC and Android Music apps (in case someone, like me, prefers the old one)
Rosie and All Rosie widgets removed
WiFi Tether
TouchFlo port from Samsung included (choose launcher for yourself)
Again, all credit to the Devs listed above. I am no Dev myself, only a chef cooking up something to my own liking and thought I would share.
Anybody wanna test for me?
Download here
Installation...
Copy TouchOfPhotons-v1.zip to your SDCARD and reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then Install Zip and Choose Zip from SDCARD.
Be sure to take a Nandroid Backup and WIPE FIRST!
So far everything seems to be working fine for me...WiFi, BT, etc...
I would recommend Hydra's Undervolt with Wireless-N kernel here. This just needs to be installed like any other zip using Clockwork recovery.
Also I would recommend the MultiTouch Keyboard DANESHM90 managed to pull from the Droid-X here. This can be installed with Astro or an equivalent of your choice.
Thanks to all in the community. I am glad to be a part of it!
UPDATE.... Kernel link above may not work consistently so I am attaching the zip.
For those requesting it, I am attaching the TouchFlo Launcher. Just install via Astro or similar.
UPDATE - 7/7 --- Thanks to bowtiedeuce for pointing out the fix scuccia found for the Facebook constantly syncing issue. I am attaching that patch here (full credit to him, of course). Just install it like any other zip from your sdcard using clockworkmod recovery (install over your current setup, no wipe) and it should resolve the sync issue. Future releases will not have this bug.

No screenshots? It seems like most of the android roms have no screen shots.

I'm downloading it right now. I'll post feedback

Yeah,
Sorry about that. Was headed out the door and wanted to get something up for you guys before I left.
Anywhoo, here are some screenies. You can see I'm using TouchFlo primarily.

Oh, and the MT keyboard I provided a link to...
BTW....
The Live Wallpapers work great with the TouchFlo launcher.

I think I'm going to have to try ,this sounds great thank you looks good to

The rom is actually really nice an smooth. But its just not for me. I do recommend to at least try this rom. Good work man keep up the great work.

I'm loving this ROM! Just got everything set up on it...
Couple things though... I'm having a hard time pushing a custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local
I had no problem doing it on a just a plain rooted Inc, but I can't with this...
Another would be requesting to get the 2.1 lock screen and not the HTC one... Thanks! Awesome work, keep it up!

each time i download this file ROM and i try to install it, i get an error when it is trying to write to BOOT that says E: No Room Left on Device, failure at Line 394. Has anyone else seen this and if so, have they figured out how to fix it? I have wiped the boot partition and completely formated my whole system. Still the same error, i also redownloaded the file 3 times and still the same issue.

Working great here, do far. I used ROM Manager for the install.

i am not really a nUbcake either...so that is making me kinda mad. I even messed with the update-script file to see if i could comment out the line that was erroring out, but it was to no avail. Could someone post a nandroid backup of the rom that i could try?
to clarify it is giving me an error saying "Error writing to Boot"
EDIT: got it working by removing the write_raw_image line at the end of the update_script

I just pushed the bootanimation.zip from the DroidX to /data/local/ and it worked fine. What animation are you trying to push?

The kernel link is not working, anyone know why I got error ?

That's strange. I'm getting an error trying to use that kernel link on my PC but if I click it on my phone (using the XDA app) it downloads. I'll try to get a mirror up.
EDIT - Actually just attached the kernel to the OP.

Using this ROM with the Droid-X boot up sound and animation and the undervolt-N kernel. Very nice! My favorite so far and I have tried them all.
Thanks photonmedia!

Im had the same issue as ejlax did. However after the reboot everything seems to be there. Is there anything that didnt install after that error?

IF anything, I would says possibly the kernel (based on the error he says he got), but I would recommend you use the kernel attached in the OP anyway, so....
Really I don't know why you two are getting those errors and not the others who are testing, though. You are wiping before you install, right? Always the best practice: Nandroid Backup + Wipe.

I've been using it for most of the day - no issues. Phone, Google Voice, SIP phone, BT - looks flawless, so far...

Market issue with aospCM7

first off, I've seen fixes for this (I think) but I don't understand what they are saying to do...and whether or not it is a fix for my problem. Been working on this for a couple of hours now and no mas.
So, I have the latest versions of aospCM7, gapps, and clockwork. ( at least I think I do, I dled them all tonight.)
I followed the instructions at the aospcm7 wiki from stock.
The rom runs seemingly fine until I go into the market and try to dl an app (specifically either titanium back up pro or rom manager). Then it will dl and say it has successfully installed then app and immediately force closes. The app does not show up in the drawer, and the force close message pops up randomly afterwards. I have tried a simple reboot, alltheway down to reflashing the rom w/ gapps twice now and trying to reflash gapps alone. As well as re dling the file and replacing the gapps file and reflashing it.
If anyone knows of a solution to this and can explain to me how to execute said solution it would be very appreciated. Btw, this is my first root/ rom so I'm still a super noob Be gentle? lol
EDIT: And now that I tried reflashing them together one more time I'm stuck in a bootloop....
EDIT2: Am now restored back to stock thanks to nandroid back up. thank god. Anyways, I'd still like to figure ou the issue and give it another go ,so if anyone can shed some light, please do.

You using Firerat?

The fixes never worked for me. A few downloads then I had to apply the fixes again and reboot.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App

I feel ya. What I had to do was recovery, fr recovery, install ROM, fr boot, load the ROM, use the terminal fix, recovery, gapps, fr boot, boot the ROM and skip the automatic search that Google tries to do.

Then virtually the same mess of events to nand restore after a prl update for mms. Too much bs...

Try deleting the market updater apk.
Yea Its Me Again With the
Modified Hero

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I restored back to stock and reflashed the rom this morning and re downloaded and flashed gapps. Everything seems to be running just fine.
Now if I can just figure out how to use htc sync to get my contacts back it'd all be gravy lol.

When you have your contacts all setup and you're logged into your Google account, just go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > your Google Account > tap Contacts.

Thanks man, I've got it all sorted now.

Bionic 5.5.1_84_DBN-55 Auto_DeOdexer

For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!

Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

For some reason when I try to run this it says that it failed. I have downloaded a few times and tried. I'm on the same build and completely stock rooted.. weird. Any ideas?

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?

I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.

Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.

I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.

So the file isn't available any more?

I just checked both file locations and they are still there. What are you referring too.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Worked great here, didn't unfreeze anything before running it and no problems to report.

Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.
Any ideas?

I have these same issues on stock, on .892 and on any roms - I really think it is just the phone :/ - there is a known bug on the bug list about data connectivity issues.
Btw the .892 radio is complete crap.... at least on my phone it is...

Market Apps
After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!

B.o. 2.0 faq + q&a

I feel like the broken out 2.0 rom post has WAYYY too much posts about problems etc. I think if we could all put it in one post it would reduce the amount of spam.
So list some questions and answers and i'll update this thread
Q) My Revo overheats and has vibrates of deaths! What do I do?
A) Try flashing the blitz 3.0 beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25299893&postcount=353

Mine did the over heating thing and the vod (vibe of death). I flashed blitz 3.0 beta, and now no issues.

Can you give the link for blitz 3.0? And what's the difference? What exactly happens when you flash it?

Here is the post with Blitz 3.0 beta
Honestly, idk what the real differences are between the two. I DO know that it solved the vod for me.

Oh. I thought that was just 1.1 with overclocking haha. okay thanks :] wil update the thread!

Both my phone (updated from BO 1.1 without wiping data) and my wife's phone (newly rooted straight to BO 2.0 with wiping data) have errors when trying to open the google calendar app. Had issues with the gmail app too, but I was able to reinstall that from the market.
In case others have the same issue the calandar app isn't on the market, but I found the apk here (haven't tested it with my phone yet though).

Edit: Uninstalling and restoring with Titanium Backup fixed the problem.

I had a problem with my clock, Callender, and calculator not working. There was also a problem with the ROM and it didn't De-bing anything. so I had to reflash my nandroid back up, only to discover I didn't have busybox installed. easy enough fix.

I just got BO 2.0.1 installed last night and I was having this same problem. Both youtube and gmail crashed at reboot and when I tried to launch them, Play and Maps worked fine. I cleared Caches without any luck, but an uninstall and reinstall of the apps from Play seemed to fix it.
Last night the wifi tether was working fine once I set it to use the Optima S profile. But this morning turning it on reboots the phone.
Over all I like it so far. It's alot more responsive than GV1.3 that I was running before.

Is anyone else having music playing issues? For me it's super choppy, and when using play music it makes weird noises. I have it OC'd to 1.9ghz on 2.0.1 on the blitzkrieg 3 beta kernel. Thanks!

Calendar app not sync'ing
Hey all,
Searched the thread and still haven't found a solution that works for me.
1.) I started on BO1.1
2.) Flashed BO2.0 and encountered multiple FC errors so....
3.) used LGNPST to go to Z8
4.) OTA update to Z9
5.) Flashed BO2.0
Calendar app doesn't sync
I have tried wiping tha app cache, wiping cache and dalvik through CWM.
Any other suggestions? I've been thinking about using titanium to backup and restore w/o restoring the calendar app and see if it will automatically dl it.
Thanks in advance!
And Thanks to MT and all the others who had put in so much time and effort to make the REVO a usable phone!

Rip the Calender app from a previous back up and push it to your phone with adb. Should fix it. When I get a chance I will rip mine and post it.
If someone beats me to it, a flashable zip would be nice.

Ok tried installing a clean calendar apk with root explorer and still no sync.
Is there a tutorial for pushing apk's with adb?

Constant VOD
I am also having constant VOD on my revo. I flashed BO 2.00 last night and only had 1 VOD. I used the phone today and had 5 VOD. I will try flashing the BO 2.01 patch and the blitz3 beta. I hope this will solve my problems.
One quick question about installing the patch. Do I have to do anything special with the patching or is it as simple as flashing 2.00?

I keep getting constant reboots and many VOD(usually only when its charging/plugged in.) This has been for me the least stable ROM. When it works its great, but lately it seems every time I pick it up its either rebooting or had just rebooted. I even completely wiped everything and started from scratch and it's still rebooting.

Same here for me!!! My phone now after several VODs wont even turn on. I think the battery has been discharded beyond the recharge point or my phone has a hardware failure from to much heat. Not sure. But looks like im going to buy a new phone.

It's the push command.

adb reboot recovery
wipe dalvik and cache
reboot.
worked perfectly for my wife on her revo, and hers is the same as mine just no theme.

i keep getting constant reboots also, ive tried complety wiping and reflashing to no success, im on zv9 and tried BO 2.0 and 2.0.1 and Blitz 3.0 but nothing works and also most of my problems are when im on the charger also i don't know what to do????

I keep getting the vod's as well. So I Reflashed 2.0 again and it seems to have stopped. I like to use the go launcher ex, could that be the cause of it?

Can I reinstall the stock dialer?

My wife has a stock Dorid 3 but has reported various problems with it. I rooted the phone so I could clear cache and Dalvik cache to see if that will help anything. It has received at least one OTA since she has had it.
The dialer app is still causing issues, such as: taking more than 1 minute to actually start dialing, rebooting, etc... I am thinking that somehow the dialer app is corrupt somehow so I was hoping to just reinstall it. Is that possible? Where would I find the stock dialer for the Droid 3?
I installed Dialer One for her and that seems to work but of course it is not the stock dialer so it is something she has to get used to.
Thanks

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I sure would like to know the answer. My stock dialer is doing the same thing.
I hadn't thought about using dialer 1. Aside from its being different how do you like it?

You should be able to reinstall it. Just pull the dialer from a stock-ish rom like minimoto, rename the old one in /system/app to have a .bak at the end and place the new one in, make sure to check permissions match everything else in the folder and reboot the phone. If it doesn't work just delete the new one you put in and remove the .bak from the old and reboot again. You will need root access for all this
Or you can just sbf the whole phone right back to stock if you don't mind losing your data
