the way the CM project makes the builds run is a clean hack, but a hack nonetheless. it sort of fills some dependancies by redirecting them towards their equivalents in the old libraries. tl;dr: need Tegra2 ICS libz.
updated "White Button" version from the Chinese site - it's update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Atrix-KANG-signed.zip? Tell me this file to flash after cm9alphas-alphas-alpha?
I flashed update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Atrix-KANG-signed.zip - my Photon does not boot.
That's the Atrix version... Says right there in your Zip file...
You need the update-cm-9.0-RC0-Sunfire-KANG-signed.zip.

Hosting
Hey guys im a web dev, not a real dev, i have a web server with 500 gigs of monthly transfer, and 375 gigs of storage (I currently use less than 2 of it a month, and less than a gig in storage). the only reason i have it is to give out bandwidth really (and i got locked in for 60 bucks/year for life), I don't have my own site just some hosted friends. if anyone is interested, I would happily hook some developers up with some web space for posting updates, or a repo of some sort, a wiki anything we can think of. just send me a PM and I will get the ball rolling.

Dude! I guess you don't know how much cybik has done for the photon. Show the devs a little respect.

Or you could DL the mirrored file. My server is a bit faster than the original link.
Joker, feel free to add the mirrors to the OP. I'll update daily (more often if there's a dev run and have the time). Have served over 100GB of data (106445278KB as of this post) since the 10th of December so I hope my host doesn't mind a bit more.
CM9 Alpha from OP mirrored HERE
Original file mirrored HERE
If someone can get me a copy, I'll mirror.
^These should be added to OP

Good lookin out brotha... Wish I would've known that, the original link takes FOREVER lol
Appreciate the hard work you've put into Photon development
I can definitely confirm that calls and sms work along with wifi. Gonna play around with this for a while. As long as I can make and receive calls, and send texts I'm good. Loving how all my gmail contact photos are high resolution now!

For 100% clarity, are you referring to "cm9alphas-alphas-alpha.zip"
Or "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Sunfire-KANG-signed.zip"
The alphas alpha boots for me, but no radio. The update doesn't boot for me at all. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Wipe, flash, gapps, permissions, and no go.
same here last night for alphas alpha, but what would need to be done to get this puppy working lol
Yes, this is the one I flashed "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Sunfire-KANG-signed.zip" and do like MobileAllStar said and wipe wipe wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, set permissions and reboot. When I first booted up wifi wouldnt work, but another reboot and everything was working fine. So far all the apps I have tried work with no problems.

The Photon dev team and turl would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!48Okay due to the recent changes in cm9 install process I am writing a short guide from my phone. A longer version is planned and will be posted on my site.
If you wipe system you must flash the rom twice. Anyone that has followed long enough remembers the double flashing days till I fixed it. Well its back.
So to update from any cm9 rom with wipe
Factory reset
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Simple.
To update from any cm9 without wiping.
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Simpler.
To update from cm7, miui, gingerbread, etc
Wipe system
Factory reset
Flash rom
Flash rom again(notice it takes longer)
Flash gapps
Profit
What about dalvik cache?
Well it sits on data and is checked every boot. If it detects a change it will erase the old cache and rebuild. So if you do a factory reset you erase dalvik cache. If you upgrade versions without a wipe it magically erases dalvik for you.
What about data or cache?
Factory reset wipes data, cache, and apks installed on any sdcards.
Why should I only wipe system if coming from a non-cm9 based rom?
Cm9 has install scripts that copy certain noncm parts from system, installs then puts it back. If nothing is there it can't copy. Thus flashing twice.
When do I flash gapps?
Every single time.
My battery sucks?
Cm9 handles a lot more open apps then gingerbread. Multitasking is spectacular with ics. However running 70+ apps at once turns your phone into my ex and literally sucks the life out of your battery. This explains why there is such a drastic difference between battery life's with different users. Also keep in mind that we are using a froyo kernel, drivers from 3 different devices and none are ics tegra ap20 based, and this is still beta.
So why do people get an attitude with me?
Because you don't search or read. I purposely don't hold peoples hand. You must read at least some. There is always a risk with flashing anything custom. The more I baby people the dumber the questions get, however once stable I'll dumb it down to anyones level and tweak it to death. Currently I'm only going for a fully functional cm9. Then comes the fun

Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app30Look this isn't a stable rom. Its not completed. Currently I'm trying to get sw encoding going for the camcorder. Right now that is causing the camera to run sluggish. Oc and you'll be fine in landscape. Camera does work. You people do realize we have no ics kernel or drivers? The fact that it works at all is pretty good considering how many devices out there don't have ics at all much less have camera.
When I get time I'll make some revert flashables for people that don't like new test builds. I don't want 500000000 posts of flash this revert to get cm9 working. If you need what that revert has fine just don't direct everyone to only do it your way.
This is a beta development project. I will be experimenting and breaking perfectly good stuff to find better setups. By the time I'm done cm9 will be close to perfect.
