I tried the new beta on CM10 (can't use CM10.1 yet since I need BT and Wifi daily) and it doesn't crap itself when opening tabs!!
I'm running King Kang, and the Chrome Beta works here, including tab switching.
I think it's safe to say, not that Chrome Beta works on our ROMs, but that the bug that was keeping Chrome from working in the first place is fixed in the beta. The distinction is important, as it means the days of Chrome not working on the Photon are behind us, at least for those of us running Android 4 ROMs. I believe it had to do with us running the Froyo kernel. It breaks SwiftKey Flow, too. (SK is aware of the issue on the Atrix. I would tell them it's us as well, but their forum registration wasn't working when I tried.)

... eagrly waiting for wifi fix as it is highly needed, after the fix it wont take a second for me to flash the rom ...
I figured out wifi fix. Now, I just need to fix BT, which may take a couple days. Camera Preview is still a bit of a mystery at the moment...lol
edit: Camera working
FYI....I uploaded a version of Gapps (linked on the cm10.1 page) that doesn't break keyboard

Nope...just figured I'd tease everyone with reports of a working wifi Photon...LOL
Just messing with you...it'll be up in about 15 mins
Build 1/13/13 is UP!
Camera-fixed (Camcorder still not working..)
Wifi fixed
Cheers!
Gapps on the page will allow keyboard to still work properly (fixes the "hiding keyboard" issue)

Damnit, I've been checking this thread twice daily for a wifi fix since I don't use bluetooth, and now that ones finally up I get:
WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME SO, INTERNET GODS?!?
edit: although maybe its a sign that i should properly back up before trying this out instead of just jumping in

Whoops! I put up the link to the browser page where I actually UPLOAD the file, not where it ends up available to be downloaded...LOL
I've fixed it
Your GAPPS link appears to be broken on your site under the ROM download link.
Downloading ROM now.

Fixed as well now
I'm in the process of editing AOKP source to try to build 4.2 of that. After that, I will be working on every JB ROM I currently have one by one till we have them all to 4.2
Any progress on that "Vanilla Android with support for MIUI themes" ROM you hinted at in the MIUI thread?After that, I will be working on every JB ROM I currently have one by one till we have them all to 4.2
So, Bluetooth is the only thing still borked in 4.2 that wasn't in 4.1.2?
Can't wait for the AOKP 4.2. Is there a way to get the tablet browser (in Paranoid, King Kang, and PACman) in regular AOKP? I've found it to be the best browser so far.

BT, tethering and Camcorder are the major things right now....BT and tethering are fixable, though...
I'll have to look more into Google Now.
As far as benchmarking, the lack of proper drivers only makes those either run poorly or not at all. All a benchmark is good for is ****-measuring. True thing I worry about is real world performance in my average usage...

If you need to report a NEW bug, report it once, and the next TWO people VERIFY it. I don't need everyone reporting same bug 20 times. I you can, provide me the following information:
- Version you're using
- What type of fwipe you did and what ROM you came from
- Have you restored any data from something like Titanium Backup
- What app is misbehaving and what you were doing when it started
- Logcats<--THIS IS PREFERRED.
If you don't know how to logcat, go HERE and learn. This really nice guy took the time to write out a good how to
When you have a LOGCAT and would like to post it, please go to pastebin and post it in there, then LINK that location in this thread...I don't want to see them posted directly in here.

37Hey everyone....I'm not dead and haven't abandoned the Photon. Just been trying to fix stuff. I have a couple of things to try for BT still, but I at least can say that the microphone thing (voice search, etc), as well as MMS should be fixed at the very least on what I upload tonight...or later this afternoon. I'm building one last try for BT before I upload, then I'll continue to work on it from there. Outside chance that wifi tethering will be fixed on this build as well.
Hope all is well everyone12I'm in the process of figuring out a couple bugs on the last CM10.1 build...I say last because after this, I'm going to be working on bringing 10.2 to the Photon. So, I want to get the current bugs fixed before I move on.
Bug 1) Camera is now FCing. I can do a patch by using an old camera, but I would prefer not to do that
Bug 2) Bluetooth is still not working...doesn't initialize
Bug 3) APNs are still showing up incorrectly. This is the biggest one in my mind, as without them working right, the stock MMS app doesn't work right, and you end up having to use a 3rd party app that you can set the APNs independently of the system to send MMS.
This process has been made slightly slower by the facr that I had to activate my daughter a new phone, which was SOOO much FUN (sense my sarcasm) dealing with Sprint for...LOL. I also got a new phone. I will still work on this, but I am learning the HTC One also...great device...looked into all the other ones, and decided that it really had the feature set I wanted. I think after having it for 24 hours now, that I finally have a phone to unseat the Photon from the "My Favorite Phone Of All Time" spot (which even the LG Optimus G couldn't do). Don't worry...I still plan to show the Photon plenty of love. I have at least 3 ROMs I plan to do. CM, Beanstalk, and ChameleonOS. POSSIBLY others...not sure just yet.11Still working on BT bug....neither EPinter nor I seem to have it working. I can get it to start init, then it fails, so I am still in the same place I was.
Once I do get it working, I have Baked built as well...but I don't want 2 roms out there with this bug...just stupid to work like that, ya know?11
Voice Search is a bug I still need to work on. I was really working hard on the storage issue...in the end, it was an edit that came from the Capitivate Glide that fixed it...LOL
Of course, either by some edit that CM added in or one of my edits, I broke wifi (it was working in earlier builds. I'm trying to revert some of the edits to try to get it working again).
This is probably the 100th build of CM10.1 that I have done, so yes, there has been a LOT of time put into it. BT will be a bit of a pest to fix, but I am sure I can get it done. I already know the edit for the Camera preview, but I can't get it to build when I institute the edit...which is really odd. I'm still working on it.
