I don't know, what do you mean. I don't see any difference in quality of screen graphics between any Photon roms.

As you can see, the wallpaper quality is lower than normal. You can see the pixelization as the colors blend together. It doesn't look like this on other roms. I've also attached the original wallpaper.

Would it be possible to get an ad-blocker added in the next version? Keep getting ads in my notifications.

Awesome Rom though.

You´re right. I did not try another rom so long, that I thought, this is how pictures look normally on Photon.
I will try to solve this.

Would it be possible to get an ad-blocker added in the next version? Keep getting ads in my notifications.

Awesome Rom though.

I am not planning this. You have to install some blocker for push notifications (c2dm messages), like "Permissions Free" app, from market. Or uninstall the app causing those notifications.

Are non-wallpaper photos unusually pixelated too?

Does "sms delivery reports not working" mean you will not be notified if an sms was not delivered to the recipient so you can resend it?

Coming from the stock rom, is it okay to restore apps and data from Titanium backup or should all apps be redownloaded from the Market?

It's not pixelated. But gradients are looking bad (not smooth). How low resolution the picture is, so much you can see that bad effect.
I am not sure, if this issue comes from Electrify, or modding. But for what I know, these gradients were there always. :)

You won't get the report, that sms was delivered. That's all I can tell. :)

I would usually just re download everything from the play store, and then restore data. Just to be safe.

That's cool but will I be notified if the sms was NOT delivered?

Are gradients looking bad on all pictures? Everything looks like low resolution?

Yeah all my hi-res pics in my gallery look this way. Its just more apparent when they're set as wallpaper. Its not a huge deal, but when I show off my phone people notice it.

I rooted, then installed CWM using bootstrap since i had no unlocked bootloader... then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed this after wiping everything... bootlop...
Any ideas? Also, i cant seem to get to the custom CWM since it was installed using bootstrap...


UPDATED: I was able to flash romracer's ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot. i wiped everything and reflashed rom. The rom started fine. Trying to bypass the activation for sprint since i never had sprint and im using a SIM card from brazil.

Go to wifi and hit menu and I think it says advanced. Then in advanced there are setting to always keep wifi on. Set that and be sure to hit menu again and save. That should do it....but if u have any battery saver settings enabled it may override that so be sure your set to performance. Spare parts plus also has setting for it.

    This is Electrify rom, completely deblured, except phone and hdmi features, with added cm7 and other apps and features,
    to minimize phone and hdmi issues and maximise usability of the hardware, using lightweight software,
    without needs to sync anything, like Blur. Google sync is enough and there are plenty of apps in Google play.
    And that all in many languages, which are included in AOSP, but someone took them out.

    But still, it's not perfect and never will be. ;)

    Made on my own unlocked GSM Photon, but works well on CDMA (Sprint) and Electrify (US Cellular) too.

    Locked version also available. But still no 4g!

    I am not responsible for any software or hardware damage or not working emergency calling. You don't have to use this.

    If I am posting something I should not, tell me and I will delete it. I am just sharing this, because it´s good for me and could be good for someone else.

    If anything does not work right after installation, do one more restart please.


    Features:
    - based on Electrify 2.3.5_USC_19 firmware
    - 1.0 GHz stock 2.3.5_254_13 kernel
    - fully deblured (no support for anything using blur account and no social apps or widgets or features)
    - modified UI in many places (framework, statusbar, notification, settings and many remaining apps)
    - framework and most of apps translated to various languages (used translation from CM7) ...
    ... Russian is fully translated, Arabic support (not perfect)
    - updated zone info and ICU (8/12)
    - CM7 apps - SMS and MMS, Email, Calendar, Voice Dialing, Torch, File Manager, Sound Recorder, Keyboard, Screenshot
    - Nemus Launcher (Nenustech), Gallery ICS (Moblynx), Play Music (Google) ...
    ... FMRadio (Moto Froyo Defy but modified), My Phone Number (Lytsig), Resolution Changer (djeman) apps added
    - stock camera connected with Gallery ICS with 1080p video recording
    - 1% battery steps in statusbar, battery usage - everywhere

    - CM notification toggles (10), with long click handling

    Do not forget to calibrate the battery - it means - install, boot, (maybe reboot), charge 100%, wipe battery stats and /data/battd folder, discharge to 0% without any reboot (but you can use it ofcourse), plug your charger while holding power button to bypass charge only mode, do not unplug your charger or do not reboot, until it is 100% and use it anyhow you like...
    Then you can complain about battery. It means, not sooner than 2 days after installation. :p
    This calibration is not needed because of battery (it is lithium battery), but because of not very good Moto power statistics management. Battery can be charged anytime you like, but the phone can show only estimated battery values, based on charging and discharging.
    You can use this Battery Fix app for wiping.


    Sorry for my English.

    ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP FIRST.

    YOU CAN USE ANY RECOVERY YOU LIKE.

    ROM - unlocked version (no 4G):
    Download v19

    Stock Electrify 2.3.5_USC_19 kernel - problem with lowmemorykiller module - missing or wtf? - never noticed before
    Stock Photon 2.3.5_254_13 kernel - looks like it´s the most stable

    ADDON - locked and unlocked:
    Volume keys wake-up

    First post updated - v12

    Don´t know about roaming but probably has to be turned on in Settings - Accounts battery data - Data delivery and CDMA settings for automatic, but don´t know, how to make forced roaming

    All games should be fine now.
    8
    First post updated - v11

    -some fixes, cleaning, lib changes (Photon 2.3.5)
    -adobe flash pluggin removed - install from market
    -usb media sync fixed

    And who wants another number of signal bars, here is how-to:
    in build.prop -
    ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
    ro.mot.phonemode.numsignalbars=4 or 5 or 6

    Next version will be 5 bars. It shows accurate on GSM.

    Uploading v7:

    - HDMI mirroring with resolution changer from "djeman" - this thread - thank him
    - BlurSetup is out of the rom - you can access your accounts from settings and contacts - now it is fully deblured
    - added Talk with video calling
    - maybe wipe will be needed, but I am not sure
    - I am not sure about the webtop yet, you can try, but I will install it and try myself later
    - I had some problem with Market (code 403), but the problem stopped itself and did not returned, even after wipe, so I hope, noone will have it


    v7 uploaded
