[ROM][Googlecode release] version 23.08.2011 r167 (DEPRECATED)

-r0bin- · Aug 23, 2011

Hi guys,
it's been a while we didnt released update, sorry for that.
the project is not dead, it's just that it's taking a lot of time and you know it's vacation time, even for devs

hopefully munjeni/derefas published great versions and the fact that we share source code help to share fixes between versions.

so here is the new version of the day, featuring Froyo 2.2
Link to download:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/downloads/list

What's new?
What's new versus 10/07/2011 version:
- gps.conf updated for fast GPS [from xda]
- telephony.db updated (fix some users not having 3G working)
- timeswitch workaround [by r0bin]
- g-sensor calibration fix [by r0bin]
- usb/ac cable detection fix [by r0bin]
- battery driver updated [by r0bin]
- headset sound fix (voice + mp3) [by r0bin]
- overclocking/underclocking capabilities [from ladios]
- light sensor fix [by cardsharing]
- usb stability [by cardsharing]
- headset audio glitch [by r0bin]
- camera snapshot fix [by cardsharing]
- power saving mode (better battery life) [by schlund]
- touchscreen calibration [by schlund]

Enjoy and as usual, feel free to report any bug or issue you might have on this new version!

Note for people updating their existing system:
/!\ Make sure to do a backup in any case (titanium backup seems to work well)

if you are using [10/07/2011 r134++] from google page:

Lucky you, you dont need to format your SD card or delete apps or whatever:
Just overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret as usual and you are good to go!

if you are using munjeni release:

you can try to do the same: overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret and see if it still works

if your android is not working well after partial update:

then you will have to do a full upgrade. use a backup program (titanium or other) and enjoy!

nonor2009 · Aug 24, 2011

cool job man! but my GPRS doesn't connect! it was working before upgrading to this version! i was using 10/07/2011 r134++ with updates...

-r0bin- · Aug 24, 2011

for those which gprs and wifi is not working, have you placed the "update" folder at the root of your sdcard?

DmK75 · Aug 24, 2011

Thanks for r167!
All good, only i noticed high drain of battery here (up to 240mA instead ~150 earlier).
-----
Planned to fix audio in the headset (now there is no stereo)?

hcchua · Aug 24, 2011

Thank you!

The software is working, just I still having bluetooth problem.

Keep up the good work!

kndlsz · Aug 24, 2011

Tks for the great works
1. the battery works better
2. it seems that FM works sometimes, making sounds at least

, and change to another channel automatic, hope it would be fixed soon.
3. headset is working, but Audio is mono
4. some software can not be installed, like TTS Voice library
5. Echo problem on the other side when phoning in or out, while it's normal on my side.
