Battery drain is very high although I closed most apps probably causing it.
Another important thing: Wifi stops very often and doesn't want to restart, or only after reboot / removing battery.
Sometimes the phone is crashing and removing battery is the only solution.
In this way it's just not useable for my wife.
I'm still a very big fan of the Mini and I keep faith in a more stable Android.
SD-Boot:1. Files for SD-Card - (needed to boot into fastboot to flash lk for the first time)
2. Files for PC - (contains new bootloader&recovery, fastboot and drivers)
3. Update.zip file - (is the main build file)
3. latest GAPPS - (Google Apps like Market etc.)
STEP 1: Installing LK Bootloader & Recovery
(If you have already installed a NAND version, you can skip the haret boot part, but it is very important to flash the new bootloader from lk-photonic-pc-r10.rar!! It contains important changes for wifi calibration!)
- Download all files for NAND (see downloads)
- Extract lk-photonic-pc-r10.rar to somewhere on your PC
- Copy cm-7-20120618-UNOFFICIAL-photonic-r10.zip, the GAPPS file and the content of lk-photonic-sd.rar archive to the root of your sdcard and run HaRET from your device

- If your connecting your phone for the first time to your pc you may have to install drivers from the folder you have just extracted.(See also here) You can see it in your windows notification bar if you were sucessful. Be sure to have already run haret and already being in fastboot console on the device when installing drivers! If you are sill having problems to connect to the device via fastboot try installing HTC Sync (from htc website)
- Enter the Fastboot-folder on your pc (the one you have extracted) and run start-photonic.bat

You may have noticed that i added some version tracking:
The "-rX" in the filenames show the growing release number (Example: -r10)
I removed ROM Manager and added GooManager instead, you can browse the files on the phone, checkout and install experimental updates etc. It will also let you know if there is an update!
In the "Photonic" Folder there are two other folders: EXPERIMENTAL and RELEASE
RELEASE is thought to be main, most stable and tested version, that most people should use. Experimental updates will only be included after heavy testing there
EXPERIMENTAL is the storage for brand new tests on kernel and the android build, i will write the changes to the changelogs for the files so you can decide if you want to test it
In most cases its "safe" to install experimental updates, feedback to them (using this forum thread) can really help me with developement.
People that did hard to install the Photonic Release itsself should not try to test them.
