Just received my Motorola Photon 4G!!!! - Motorola Photon 4G

Bought this phone off of the marketplace on android forums. from what i can tell so far is that its a really nice phone. feels nice in the hand, battery cover is nice and grippy. fiddled with the home screens a little bit, pretty snappy. havent really been able to get into the phone yet so i will update later with my thoughts. but i can honestly say that the Evo 3D will have its hands full with this phone. its a BEAST!

Thats all the pics for now!!! Gonna try to activate it later tonight. ill keep you guys posted!!!

motoblur runs smooth? that would be a really big step for motorola..

rootable???? i had to. but in all seriousness, looks like a sweet phone. just wish it didnt have motoblur crap on it. 9 gb internal???????

Yeah I like it so far. Looking forward to activating it later to test it out. And I'm not big on android skins like sense and blur, i like the stock launcher. So as soon as I get a phone LPP goes on it. As close to a stock launcher I can get til there is some CM7 love.

Can you post some pics taken with camera please?

2.6.32.9 kernel
Shouldn't it be at least 2.6.35 for Gingerbread?

Does the UI runs smoothly?

Sorry o haven't replied but I have been keeping track of everything over on androidforums.com since I bought it from on the market there. Lots of pics and a video on there. Check out out. Sorry for the trouble.

I love BOOBBIES!
On a serious note though, I don't know what's the big deal on that wallpaper. Its not like they were naked or without shirts with theirs breasts hanging out. I liked the wallpaper. Even my girl did. I used it a few times.

I fully acknowledge that the solution is simple, but my thinking was to more show "tongue in cheek" support for the CM girls. Pun intended. I'm not truly up in arms about it, but I'm curious to see who "supports" the blue boobies. Pun intended.

Nice..just realized I had this on my phone, good stuff. Why would someone want to get rid of this??

Seems like a perfectly legitimate wallpaper to me. No reason to remove it whatsoever. I think the better question is: why is the second girl from the right not standing like the others?

It's amazing..We should've had exactly this as stock. (It also just called my OGVO a 'tablet'.) It also doesn't seem to be hampered by 30 fps in carousel, and it flies....(no pun intended)
I don't know if anyone else is using their EVO as a backup, WiFi only device...I'm guessing with the Evo3d's release, that I'm not the only one...If so, (and I found this info in the Flyer forums) there is a free Market app called Line2 that let's you make free unlimited phone calls and texts over WiFi...It takes about 30 seconds to set up, and works flawlessly, assigns a new # based on where you live, and even includes a voicemail service...
Also, I found out that HTC included a native screenshot function in the Flyer (WHY NOT THE EVO3D, HTC?), that works WITHOUT that stylus/pen. Apparently, if you press/hold power, then press home, a screenshot is taken..Does anyone else know if that is still a working function in the port, and if so, where are the .jpgs stored?
I've included a few landscape pics that show the Carousel, the pull-down notification bar that has a scrolling Quick Settings section (different than ours) and that 'Line2' dialer...Am loving this ROM, it got me to finally replace the shattered digitizer on a backup Evo. Try This if you still have an OGVO...
We NEED this full-on version of Sense 3.0...

Sorry if its sloppy. Still learning how to do this. I know you hate me cuz im a noob. :-(
Thank you vicious and arcanexvi for hooking every one up.
Its kinda tricky to do. I flashed back to stock using the razr utilty.
If i forgot to thank or credit any one please let me know. i just wanted to post some screens cuz its kinda hard to find them anywhere.
4 more screens on my post on page 3
Nice work, or should i say screen shots
Just when you thought MotoBlur couldn't get any uglier, heh. Nice screen shots, looks like they've changed quite a bit since the early GSM leak.
Does it include the Circles clock widget or those odd app shortcut widgets (calendar displays date, badge counters on phone/messaging etc)? Those were the bits that looked most interesting from the GSM leak.

Dont take it personal man. We are all on pins and needles waiting for some news or a newer leak. Your subject is a bit miss leading.
Thanks for the screen shots though, I am waiting for the official OTA and had not seen what ICS looks like on a phone.
Thanks man. It's nice to see what I can expect. I'm still stock on 2.3.6. I know it's not straight ICS but that update looks a lot better than the Motorola UI running over gingerbread. I assume this will be what the official OTA ICS look like?

I never thought it wasn't, just making sure.

[Theme] Stock ICS icons! (WIP)

I'm slowly getting there. This will include aamikam's quick settings as well. I have modded the signal bars to include "half" signals to accommodate Sprint's 6 signal bars as opposed to Stock Android's 4.
It's still very much in the beginning stages as you can see, but I wanted to get the most important parts out of the way (battery/signal icons) so that I could post up a screenshot. I will attempt to emulate stock ICS as much as possible. There will even be a stock battery without percentages as well.
Once I'm complete, I will post for everyone to download.

Was wondering if recoloring the sprint 6 bar signal would fit well rather than having the half steps. Im not opposed to the way your doing it just curious if you have concidered it.
YES! MOAR!!!

Yeah, definitely. But I wanted to try and stick with stock ICS icons. The Sprint signal icons just don't look as good, you know?

It feels as if everyone is reading my wants with all these superb mods/themes/tweaks. Great job so far man. If there's one thing I hate about the stock Sense (other than gradients) is the notification icons.
