MIUI Photon questions thread...

1) Webtop doesn't work with ICS at this time. Loki and I have discussed the possibility, but have yet to make any progress on it

2) I can look into it, but cannot guarantee that it's something that is really possible.

Hello i am new to miui i heard about this on a podcast, one question does the ics rom work with wifimax 4G from sprint ???

[Th3Bill]

No. WIMAX is broken during the unlock process. None of the ICS roms work with Wimax

Well, i have a rooted motorola photon unlocked and i am using a Foxfi for tether wifi it works with my wifimax awesome, i am going gingerbread 2.3.4
well the process that works with wifimax is com.motorola.blur.home.wimaxscan.com and com.sprint.internal and maybe a couple more services
well that sucks i want to get ICS but i dont want to lose my wifimax connection that would make my internet connection slow lol
Thank you for the answer Th3bill
Keep up the good work

Have a few of fairly noob questions.
I'm running 2.6.1 currently but it's been a while since I installed that so can't quite remember, with the Aroma installer is there a "keep settings" option? And what all does that that actually keep, will the phone come back up pretty much the same as it was but on the new version or do i have to resetup all the accounts and reinstall all the apps, etc?
Have they fixed the video camera stuff in 2.7.27?

Edit: nevermind the camera question, found Th3Bill's xda thread.
Th3Bill, since you seem to be the man behind the curtain on the Photon builds can you tell me is there any really good reason to upgrade from 2.6.1 to 2.7.27? I've looked through all the change logs and they seem a bit cryptic and specific to things I haven't experienced. Will I see significant performance increases or worthy new features? Phone runs pretty good now, just a few FC annoyances now and again. Not sure if it's worth the hassle.
Thanks!

I'm not really behind curtain...just can't put my name on the OP for the build, but I maintain it...LOL

2.8.10 has a bunch of improvements over previous versions in terms of smoothness and other apps. There is a performance difference, and additional security features, etc... No real FCs that I noticed when I had it on my phone Friday...

Now that Motorola has its has official process for unlocking the bootloader and if they will support the photon 4g will we finally get Wimax 4g?

[Th3Bill]

Unfortunately, until they add the Photon 4G to the process, that's a no
