for the jokerax you are supposed to flash one of the earlier versions first and then let it boot up then get back into recovery and flash the latest version right on top of that (meaning no wipe)
I'm having the same issue with mms. I can get it to work in GoSMS but I would rather use the stock app.
I have tried the APN changes from page 1 and that was able to get me sending mms. I then tried both mms apps from page 10 neither made a difference but the dark one looks sweet
I'm going to keep digging but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears
Still no Apns fix? I need one really bad please. :-(

CPU Editor
I found a CPU script that is working VERY well for me and thought I'd share... Sorry but I don't know how to link the forum or I would... Search XDA CPU Editor. Dev's name is smokin1337... I'm running it on Joker's 6.9.3 and its giving me an extra 4-5 hrs of battery life easy... It's a flashable zip that you then access with terminal emulator... Very simple!
Word of note... I did disable setcpu before flashing the zip to make sure there were no conflicting scripts or issues... I'd recommend doing the same!
Please have a look and let me (and everyone else know what you think)
Edit:
I have my system set up as
Core 1
Max: 1000000
Min: 216000
Core 2
Max: 1000000
Min: 216000
I also have the 2nd core force enabled and have them set to power save option and set on "Sticky Mode" to apply the setting on Boot... It's all very simple and self explanatory once you flash and open the terminal...

Only real "Fix" is to flash 0.3.1 first, let it boot up, then flash the latest CM9 on top of it. For some reason, CM9 seems to have this issue, though the ROMs based on it (MIUI, AOKP, etc) do not seem to have the issue....not sure what is causing it.
I am testing this right now. Will post results soon.
Oi okay. I will test this as well. This first. I'll also upload a mirror for it.
The flashing fix didn't work. I can still send but not receive...

I flashed it to mine and it worked. I changed all the settings, applied, and closed the CPU tweak editor. Reboot into recovery, created a backup, then I tried to boot my phone up and it got stuck at the screen with the red circle and M logo on boot up. I tried taking it off the computer USB plug and plugging it into a wall socket, but all it does is warm up the battery and doesn't get past that logo. I can't even access recovery or anything.
I need my phone back. I'm expecting an important phone call. *sigh*
UPDATE: I was able to get into recovery by holding the power button and volume down whilst plugging the power in. I think maybe my battery drained right after the backup in TWRP. I've had the phone plugged in for over half hour though. Don't know why it hasn't charged enough to boot up. I'll wait another hour and report back.

I was able to restore my phone from a TWRP recovery image. Tried charging the battery up before attempting to install the CPU editor script. It installed fine, I set it up. Everything seemed good, so I did a reboot to test, and sure enough I got stuck at the boot up screen again. Restoring from the recovery image again as I type this. Not going to try it again until someone else with a Moto Photon can confirm it works.
Try "PCM DUAL CORE MOD" : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239507
I've got it to flash and my 2nd core seems more active now. Havent bench marked battery yet.

44FIXES AND MODS ONLY
SINCE MIUI V4 HAS BEEN BASED ON CM9, MANY OF THESE FIXES MAY WORK
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS WITHIN THE THREAD
We already have the entire CM9 main thread overrun by repeat questions.
If you have a question regarding something on here, Private Message either myself or the persons I am crediting so that we may help you without mucking up this Thread with "Can you help me with this?"
Feel free to add Mods and Fixes that you feel might be useful for others.
If you didn't make it, be sure to give credit to the person who did.
Please also post a link to their original post so others can thank them for their work.
Thanks to everyone who developed these fixes and to the devs for putting together a great ROM for our phones.
FYI...I DID NOT MAKE THESE MODS OR FIXES (UNLESS I SPECIFY THAT I DID PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER). PLEASE GIVE THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME UP WITH THESE FIXES AND MODS
18Proper Flashing of ROMs (updated 9/6)
PROPER FLASHING OF ROM
Requirements:
Photon 4g-Must be rooted, unlocked, and have CWM on it (I recommend Jokerax's CWM V3)
A ROM ZIP
Gapps .zip
If you have already rooted, unlocked, and CWM'ed, skip 1-4
1) FIRST, go HERE and watch this video. It's how to install Android SDK. This will be important if you mess something up later and need to reinstall SBF. It also allows you to flash CWM to your phone.
2) Unlock Bootloader: Watch the video HERE. The links to the files you need will be in the "show more" area of the video. This will have you unlocked and ready for next step.
3) Rooting/CWM: Watch the video HERE. The links to the files you will need will be shown in the "show more" area of the video. Now you will be rooted and have CWM on your phone
4) Joker's CWM: Since this was made with his CM9 build in mind, I recommend using it for all your CM9 flashing needs. Using other ones can cause problems.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Go to Joker's site (Jokersax.com) and download the "cwm-non corrupted" in the "Cyanogenmod9 for Photon 4G" section, placing the file on somewhere on your phone you can easily find (I usually create a folder in my SD-Card called "ROMS".
Boot into your recovery and select "install zip from sd card"
Find the CWM .zip where you put it, and flash it.
You will now have Joker's CWM on your phone and be ready for flashing
NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLASH
PROPER FLASHING:
STANDARD FLASH ROMS
1) Place ROM zip onto storage on your phone (of your choice)
2) Reboot into recovery
3) Make a Backup (if you don't, it's YOUR bad if you mess up...)
4) Use Wipe All Zip found HERE
or
Wipe /system, /data, /cache manually
This is recommended...some roms you can get away with just Cache and Dalvik wipe, but many require the full wipe treatment
5) Flash Rom zip
6) Flash Gapps (optional)
7) Reboot and Enjoy
AROM BASED ROMS
1) Place ROM zip onto storage on your phone
2) Reboot into recovery
3) Make a Backup
4) Go to Advanced Menu
5) Choose Report Error
6) Choose Show Log
7) Choose Reboot Recovery
***THESE 3 STEPS SHOULD BE DONE ANY TIME YOU FLASH AN AROMA BASED ROM***
8) Flash Rom zip
9) Inside rom, you can choose your wipe option and other options.
10) Install
11) Reboot and Enjoy

cm10 mms fix
NEEDS
1) THIS -apns-conf.xml file that has proper apn settings
2) Tools.zip <--located here
3) Patience
How to Fix:
1) First you will need to edit your framework-res.apk using the How To HERE
2) After decompiling framework-res.apk, you will go to folder /res/values
3) Open file arrays.xml
4) Scroll till you see a section that looks like this : <array name="config_cdma_dun_supported_types" />
5) Change it to this:
<string-array name="config_cdma_dun_supported_types">
<item>default</item>
<item>dun</item>
<item>mms</item>
<item>supl</item>
</string-array>
6) Save the file
7) Go to bools.xml
8) Find line that says : <bool name="config_mms_content_disposition_support">true</bool>
9) Change it to : <bool name="config_mms_content_disposition_support">false</bool>
10) Save the file
11) recompile the framework-res per the above how to....do not skip any steps.
12) Insert the framework-res.apk into THIS file and flash it to your phone in CWM
13) go to the build.prop in your phone in Root Explorer or Root Browser
14) Edit the following lines:
# CDMA Carrier support - Native carrier is Sprint
#ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
#ro.cdma.homesystem=64,65,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83
#ro.cdma.otaspnumschema=SELC,1,80,99
#persist.radio.cdma.min=0

EASY, RIGHT?!10Version 0.3.1
THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO FULLY WIPED BEFORE INSTALLING 0.3.3 AND ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH IT NOT BOOTING (OR IF YOU JUST WANT TO RUN 0.3.1 ON YOUR PHONE INSTEAD
Photon CM9 0.3.1
If you run into issues with 0.3.3 not booting up after doing a fresh install, do the following:
1) Format /System, /Data, and /Cache (can use the Wipe-All-Photon.zip in POST 6 for this)
2) Flash 0.3.1 from above link and Gapps
3) Reboot and allow phone to come to main screen but do not sign in, reboot back into recovery
4) Wipe /Cache and Dalvik (can use Wipe-Cache-Dalvik-Photon.zip in POST 8 for this)
5) Flash 0.3.(2, 3 +++)
6) Fix permissions
7) Reboot...should work now
