Rom is bassed on my Aria android git: https://gitorious.org/ics-on-htc-aria/master/commits/master
Kernel is bassed on derefas git with ics patchset from my aria ics kernel: http://www.2shared.com/file/23vX7nGE/2635-photonic-kernel-ICStar.html
Finally, added support for Photon to my Aria kernel, so this is allways fresh kernel for Photon:

WARNING for new cm9 rom!
Rom have scripts that will erase all nand partitions needed for clean install! Android folder and .android_secure folder will be deleted from sdcard allso, so backup your data if you have something inside!
About GPS. In order to have gps working "GPS update" must be last update. Then everything is allright!
DO NOT CHANGE BOARD TYPE FROM PHOTON TO LIBERTY IN ORDER TO FIX CAMERA!

First, big thanks to Qualcomm and their user space library that was needed for HW acceleration!!!

Instructions and changelog

Kernel is fast patched and audio libs is from old kernel and is not latest from schlund (I had problems compiling acoustic_wince under ICS so I switched back to legacy audio libs). Most of features inside kernel is added that was needed for ICS so you need to finish all other things that is needed for ICS. Compare kernel with derefas kernel, maybe I missing something! In any way I think I done big job for you photon users? :)
Audio status = FIXED :) Tanks to schlund for his audio libs!

About wifi. Because photon not support compressed kernel image there is a way for changing mac adress (I included old wifi nvs init) :)... just simple open boot.img with hex editor and look for line like in this picture -> http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/199/20120429111947.jpg and change mac adress.:D

24.May.2012:
  • New kernel
  • Logo for my kernel :)
  • A lot of upstream changes to framework... + a lot of build changes (changes from my last aria build)
  • Some tweaks for ram (you will have constantly 90mb amount of the free memory, so... less force closes or maybe no force closes:))
  • Camera recorder and panorama partialy fixed
  • New lk_bootloader:
    boot size=6mb
    recovery size=4mb
    misc size=0.625mb
    system size=200mb
    userdata size=250.875mb
    cache size=9mb
  • new recovery (latest recovery from my aria)
  • etc...etc...etc :)
    Added photon build source to my git, so you can compile an build from source if you want. Kernel is ported from my aria kernel... added photon support, so you can build an kernel if you want. Force closes is fixed, stability is a lot improved. To improve performance simple follow next steps:
    - settings/display/automatic_backlight/...enable "allow lights increase"
    - settings/performance/memory_management... enable "kernel samepage merging"
    - install an taskiller like v6supercharger or "I use taskiller from airdroid app"
    - stable frequency (245 - 806) gov ondemand... do not change it

26.May.2012:
  • bluetooth fix
  • compressed kernel and unique mac addr for wifi and bluetooth

30.May.2012:
  • improvements for battery level - test version
  • Battery drain fix
  • Camera blue screen temporary fixed - will improve it later
  • New recovery
Complete changes in battery driver you can see here -> https://gitorious.org/ics-cyanogenm...mmit/5f4b670a17c2e612478cc0da5843ceaa5b3dfaf0
To install this update just siple coppy zip archive to sd card and install it trought recovery !

04.Jun.2012:
  • improvements for battery level still in testing stage
  • Zram fixed (you can enable or disable it from settings)
  • Show mobile networks when choosing it in Select Network - fixed
  • Some workarounds to gps (gps still not working but oncrpc is not harlinked now)
  • Kernel, recovery and modules
Simple update your android trought recovery !

Wow, great news!
Maybe someone who installed this ROM can make a video, so we can see how it performs? That would be awesome :)

Hello,
Excellent work, congratulations, but I have some problems after installing this version.
I made a clean install, however I have audio problems in receiving calls (no sound) and the microphone does not work. When receiving a call the device restarts after a few seconds.
:)

Screenshots----------------------------------------tested - it working
Screen off/on animations-----------------------------(you not know what is it? :) ...its screen off efect (white line on screen like on old tv)... so status working
Wallpaper scrolling-----------------------------------not tried (its background scrolling while using live wallpaper)


This is because someone need to finish old audio driver in kernel or at least to port schlund kernel/android audio lib... bluetooth I tried to fix but there no fix with "rtld" inside *init.rc so I dont understand why bluetooth not working (maybe because audio cause problem?)
Headphones/Headset --------------------------------NO
Sound & Mic-----------------------------------------NO (call ring ok------- but in call no voice and no mic )
MUSİC PLAYER---------------------------------------NO-------------- DİD NOT RUN PROPERLY
bluetooth ------------------------------------------NO


GPS working, you confirm? Thanks for you time for tests!

    Ok guys, yesterday I added support for photon to my aria kernel and pushed all changes to git -> https://gitorious.org/ics-cyanogenm...3358e12a1d49670f9a579147346eabc5911b849/diffs ,I'm going to update aria and hd mini cm9 bulds soon with latest stable version without force closes and a lot of improvements... this photon cm9 is an old build so soon I will switch to photon flash and compile/debug new build for you...
    14
    Here you go... this is new bootloader and automated batch script. Usb drivers is allso in archive. Script format all partition, performing lk installation, performing recovery booting and installing. There is 5 steps, first step is:
    - extract LK_21.May.2012.rar somewhere on your computer
    - extract photonic-sd.rar to your phone sd card
    - put rom archive to sd card
    - install usb drivers if you have not done before
    - run install.bat, than folow step 1 and step 2 on screen

    Next steps you can do from recovery :)

    Current bootloader:
    boot size=6mb
    recovery size=8mb
    misc size=0.625mb
    system size=200mb
    userdata size=250.875mb
    cache size=5mb

    click here >>> LK_21May2012 DELETED, new LK from 24.May. is out!!!<<<
    In next few days I will compile an cm9 build. Please do not miror links, that thing make confusion for users in chosing right archive... this is complete archive and have lk for sd card, lk for nand, recovery, usb drivers and install script, thanks! And please allways read first and seccond page for update, there will be every new update and instruction!
