Yeah I already did. 1.3 OC. Man this thing is blazing fast now. Gonna try CM 9 next.
Just wanted to update... the camera is now working (both back and front). The FFC only works with a 3rd party app, but as I use Camera Zoom FX anyway, it's not a big deal. The camcorder is not yet working. There have also been huge battery and signal connection improvements. And it sounds like there's a 4G fix coming soon.
I flashed to cm9 last week and it's been great..
Good to know that the cameras work now, but 4G fix coming soon? Please elaborate.Just wanted to update... the camera is now working (both back and front).

Do you have the software keys taking up screen space?
You guys have convinced me to root and flash. Now my only decision is what to flash--CM7 or CM9? It sounds like if I don't use 4g much and I'm ok with using a different camera there's not much else that should keep me from using CM9, right?
Thats the part that has me confused, because if i am not mistaken, CM (any version) does not have any blur in it whatsoever, I take it you mean stock rom (since it has blur).The issue has been pinned down to a problem exchanging RSA keys after the bootloader is unlocked. The cm9 devs have been quoted recently as saying a 'wimax fix is closer than you think' and that the fix is 'being tested on the blur roms' currently.

Just installed joker's beta 0.0.2.1. Seems to work great. ICS is definitely different than GB. Obviously the 4G is still not working and the forward facing camera only works with an external camera app but so far its smooth and fast.
I have Rocko. Haven't tried it yet though. I do like CM7.2 better than CM9 so far. It has many more tweaks that i liked.
Just looked at QB's rocko review and it doesn't look that thrilling to me so will just stay with cm7 and continue to tweak things.
Do you have to have the bootloader unlocked to run cm?
Hey Skrillex, would I be able to use your kernel for CM9, or is it custom tailored to the phone for some reason?
So, if I'm following the rationale, getting these results goes something like this:
Go to QBking77 on YouTube
Find the procedure to root a photon 4g
Find the procedure to overclock a photon 4g
Use CM7 or CM9 ROMs
Watch your battery drain and enjoy the hell out of this awesome device!
Please fill in the missing bits if I generalized too much.
Okay. You are, as you know, correct. I have already rooted by Photon using QBKing77's method. I just stepped in to the procedure after that.
I am going to follow these instructions and post the process as you have described here. I am glad you guys were having this discussion as I have been somewhat apprehensive to overclock my Photon. I have unbricked it many times using the information that QBKing77 has provided. Man, that guy has helped me with a pile of things.
