[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
I will hopefully get a bit more work done on my v4 ROM tonight. I want to build it from Hashcodes CM7 source port, but its not making my final OTA package properly. Fixing that isn't exactly my area of expertise.

If I have to I will go back to 5.6.890 base, and update some apps, optimize a bit more, change some graphics, make a few more system tweaks, and release that for Christmas.
[Motorola Droid 3] acoers:
Sounds good chevyman. Sounds like your going to be santa for us.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Was a fan of steel from the beginning. Cant wait!
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
May not be in time for Christmas, but maybe New Years... I got the packaging issue fixed thanks to Hashcode, so im that much closer to a CM7-based release...
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
I think I have decided to go with 5.7.894. It may not be a huge jump in features, or fixes, but its a step forward, with everything working like it should, and I will change the graphics to look much cleaner. Im just not a fan of Blur, never have been.
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
Any chance the init.d hack will be included in V4?
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Yes, it will be included, and it will be called the exact same way as in v3.0.
[Motorola Droid 3] acoers:
Hows version 4 looking,is about to be released
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Its only a couple days off. Making a LOT of headway tonight!
[Motorola Droid 3] roblav96:
awesome news man! thanks for the great rom =]
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Yeah, I found a way to reduce the size of the system even more! Working on that right now. There were several apps that updated today, so I will be including them in my 4.0 release. Glad I waited the extra couple days. Dont worry, it will be well worth it!
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Yeah that's awesome news, I keep coming back to SD.

[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
There you go guys, the first release of my v4.x series for the Droid 3! Its not complete, and will be worked on for a while, but I wanted to get this out for the holidays! Happy New Year everyone! (yeah, Im excited already, can you tell? lol)

Vote for me!
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
Just downloaded!
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
Ok I guess I will be the first to ask. Can we install this though safestrap? Also is tethering included or do I have to install it myself?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Yes its Safestrap Compatible (If your using HashCodes latest version), and no the TBH Tether hack isn't included.
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
I cannot find the ACCOUNT SETTING in the setting menu....Is there any other way i can set the synchronization for each account?
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
I CANT include TBH's tethering hack, its not possible. But, if you have already done their hack to your radio, and have not used an SBF since then, its still there, and still functional. Flashing ROMs does not break or overwrite the TBH Tethering hack.

All ROMs (to my knowledge) will run when flashed either to Safe System, or to the normal system. (I know mine does). I now have Steel Droid v4.0 installed to my "real" system (had to use CW Bootstrap (NOT Safestrap), flash v4.0, uninstall CW Bootstrap, install Safestrap (1.08 as of right now), ENABLE Safe System, flash any of my test ROMs in Safe System, and toggle back to my v4.0 release for my daily driver.
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Yes there is. In the app drawer, go to "My Accounts", select the account you want to control, and change its settings. SIMPLE! :D

Your observant! There is no "Accounts and Sync" entry in the Settings menu. Hasnt been on this phone, unless you use CM7.
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
Somehow i do not have "My Accounts" in my app drawer....is this because I flashed directly from the Stock instead of upgrading from the previous version?
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Nice work chevy, missing Jewremys mods is this going to be difficult to implement? Will complete your rom, if not still the best rom imho.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Here's the My Account apk (DL LINK).

Use Root Explorer and copy it to System/app, then set permissions to;

RW-R--R--

Then reboot and it should be there.
[Motorola Droid 3] SolShade:
I have not flashed my droid 3 yet. I notice your instructions say to use the 5.6 SBF during the install and you say your rom uses 5.7 now. Is this still correct?
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
@ SolShade just as a recommendation if you have altered your "stock" rom in any way - sbf to 5.6 for a clean install prior to installing Chevy's SD 5.7, if you're already on stock 5.6 or 5.7 u can install this over top in cwm.

If any wants them i've taken the liberty of compiling the notification power widgets for the new framework (same look at SD3 all credit goes to Chevy) and done up extra framework menu options reboot/recovery which i use for roms.

Install either or both via cwm.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
If I "rooted and debloated" stock 5.6, does it mean the stock has been "altered" and it needs to be SBFed to stock 5.6 for SD 4?
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Your fine to install this over a debloated or close to stock rom, but if you have heavily modified your current rom its wise to restore to stock first.

When in doubt nandroid backup first then install this over top and see how u go.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Are you assuming the use of 1) Tweaked Bootstrap or 2) non-safe or safe mode of the Safestrap?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
No im referring to something more along the lines of a heavily modded framework etc, any of the droid 3 boot straps including safestrap works fine, i use safestrap.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Does this have the 1% battery mod?
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
nah not yet, its 5.7 core with speed and memory tweaks at the moment, chevy will do his magic tho.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe.cotto:
Same here.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Issues with accounts or missing setup/accounts install this in cwm.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Yes. There are no 5.7.894 SBF files yet, so you can only use 5.6.890. HOWEVER, this really doesnt matter, unless you want to start with a completely fresh phone (best option if things just dont seem to be working like they should, or you have too many problems with installs). When you install v4.0, you are going to wipe 5.6.890 completely out, so whatever you flashed beforehand, will be gone (if you opted to wipe /system AND data/cache).
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Thanks SO much to pedwards, and buckmarble over at DroidForums.net, they were gracious enough to let me use their services.jar to implement the 1% battery mod into v4.0. Jewremys v5 mod, which was 5.6.890-based, doesn't work in v4.0, with the new base.

Version 4.5 will have all those features added in, and possibly a few more graphical changes as well. Even I am earning a LOT from all this, and this ROM is definitely FAR from dead. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] jayjl3:
anyone having an issue putting the calendar widget on the screen? im getting a force close everytimeeee
[Motorola Droid 3] pm2gonzales:
Does anyone have the default wallpaper for this rom (SD4.0)? I changed themes and can't seem to find the default wallpaper anymore :/
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
I'll post it up later when I get home from work. I ran into the same issue and had to extract it from the framework. Lol

[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Steel Droid v4.0 default wallpaper

Here is the default wallpaper for everybody.

Its in the zip. NO, the zip is not a flashable zip, it just contains the image, as I cant upload a 1MB jpg file.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Check out Droid Forums for Chevy's latest Steel Droid Release. :) v4.5
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Is the init.d hack implemented into this rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
For some reason if i try and download a zip file through browser it fails every time.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Are you using the stock browser?

morse coded via my DROID 3
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
I have been using Liberty 2.0 and have been very happy with it but it seems to have massive battery drain (seems related to phone idle/Bluetooth).

The one big thing that I loved about Liberty 2 was that when docking the phone, the HDMI worked flawlessly. With stock, I could dock it but the screen would be unresponsive. I installed Steel Droid 4.0 and liked it but when I docked it, it would not connect the HDMI (no picture/sound).

Is this fixed in 4.5 or is there any suggestions on how to get this to work?
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
You need to install DLNA
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Yes
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Try using a different browser

Dolphin HD is what I use (Market Link)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'm having issues with installing Universal Mailbox and Facebook syncing with contacts.

I installed other add-ons fine via Safestrap, but I can't seem to get the universal mailbox installed.

Facebook - uninstalled, reinstalled, added accounts via accounts in settings, added accounts by opening the app, cleared data in app management. Not sure what else to try.

This may have been answered but I can't find it.

Flashed 4.5 then did all the stuff to get exchange stuff working, email and calander works but it won't load my contacts. It shows in contacts but they're empty, any idea?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Did you have them sync'd with your Gmail?
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
No, I don't sync my contacts with gmail, I sync them with my exchange server.

Well personall contacts gmail, company contacts exchange.

With this rom, after I got the email working the email and calander works, and contacts say they're syncing but the list is empty.
[Motorola Droid 3] bgmarian:
with percentages, but like in honeycomb
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
Can anyone shine some light on this, please? My searches haven't come up with much.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Not sure myself, I don't use Exchange, I'll talk to Chevy, or fool around with the Exchange app on my own and see if I can find anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
This is the best rom for me at the time...ics was cool, but I missed my camera, stable wifi, and usb options. I didn't like go launcher at first, but after messing w/ the settings, its awesome!
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Running this now. Not to nitpick but I see the same theming issues are still here from 2.0. Buttons aren't the right size, the .9.pngs are messed up somewhere. The notification slider is still blue, not a big deal. Running smooth.
[Motorola Droid 3] :
Thanks

Going to install this on my fiances phone, loved the previous versions of SD.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Hey Chevy, I flashed the 4.5 version of Steeldroid, and my linpack scores (multithread) range from 10 to 15. On Steeldroid 3.0, it pulled mid 50's and low 60's.. Was something forgotten, or is the Linpack app broken on 4.5?
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
Does anyone have the DLNA APK for version 4.5? The link on the main page goes to Google Talk.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
noticed that too. Open that download page again and click Chevy's name. It will take you to all of his downloads. I assume you can find it from there. Just follow the links that take you to what you need.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
You can get the correct Link from the SD Thread on Droid Forums: Clicky Link
[Motorola Droid 3] sanchezz:
Do you have a solution already?

When I go to settings\accounts I can't add an account. When I click on the FB icon nothing happens.

Edit: same problem with LinkedIn. Also tried to add blur_facebook from an other ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] ubermetroid:
Is there a link that describes what each of these does?
[Motorola Droid 3] mtva24:
Anyone have problems with the front facing camera? Whenever I try it I get the "camera is unable to initialize message"...I think cm9 might have screwed up my camera...

Does this rom have the orientation problem with the car dock?
[Motorola Droid 3] dubious1:
I am. Flashed V 4.5 last night, then followed the steps here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18210936

Still getting com.motorola.service.main FCs whenever I open the mail app. I'm downloading a deodexed rom from Rootz now and will try using the extracted bluremail.apk from that (I had previously downloaded the apk from the attached link.)

EDIT: Extracted the apk from the deodexed rom and still no luck.
[Motorola Droid 3] spasch:
Mine does not. Works as it should.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
I believe its an issue with Deodexed ROM's. I could be wrong though, I'll look around for some work arounds.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
So I'm trying this ROM only because of my car dock issue, I wasn't too pleased with doing a full wipe, but it happens. Just 2 questions...I hate GoLauncher and don't want to use any launcher at all. How can I remove it? Also, even with the install, Back Up Assistant doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
You can't use no launcher at all. I think perhaps you mean you want to use the stock motoblur launcher. Its a simple as installing the apk for the motoblur launcher and uninstalling golauncher. Note: you must install the new launcher first, otherwise you'll have issues and will have to push a new one via market web page. You can also try a different launcher. There are a number of good ones out there. Adw launcher is pretty good, or you can find the stock gingerbread launcher(called launcher2)
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Ah, thats why I can't remove it. Thank you. I'm actually big supporter of Zeam Launcher.
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Sorry for the lack of appearance here. I have been more than busy with several other websites, and building my v10.0 for the OG Droid. I have also moved away from GoLauncher, as much as I liked it, and now include Nemus Launcher instead.
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
hurry up i need something new and better to flash and why you include nemus launcher instead of go?
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
I flash back to this rom still best stable from for d3 , i froze go launcher and tried out nemus launcher very fast stable launcher, it could use some more customization but im running that on steel droid now very nice..
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
How can I kill the boot audio? Is it located in media under the system directory?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Under /system/media, the .OGG is the sound file and should be right below the bootanimation.zip
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Just changed it to .bak to keep it, but kill it. Thanks.

Now, for Go Launcher Ex...I'm a fan, but why is it that I occasionally get both the Blur lock screen coupled with the ICS one from Go Locker?
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
sometimes when go launcher gets a update hit resets homes, that can be why, u got to hit home and make sure go launcher is the home u going to i could be wrong
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I don't think this is it. I believe that when it sits for over 10 minutes, my security lock pattern kicks in, and then I must go through the Blur unlock screen, do the pattern, then do the ICS lock screen, so I shut off Go Locker temporarily.
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
I think it's just the way the system is set up when you have two lock screens. I go through the same with widget locker as well. It doesn't happen every time, but once in a while, you'll have to unlock your lock screen, then unlock the standard way.

Unfortunately I can't use my computer because my friends internet is so bad I can't get connection 99% of the time. So ill try another browser.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Dolphin worked haha thanks :) can I just flash this right over? Since im running 3.0 or should I still wipe. Also im using safestrap but this is for non safe system. Cm9 is the rom for when safe is enabled. I can still flash through safe strap right?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
You should wipe, v4 is based on a new system version. Just back up your apps with TiBu and restore missing User Apps.

& Safestrap works fine yes.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Good thing I made a backup... safe strap doesn't allow u to flash a zip when on non safe, so no, safe strap will NOT work. What do I need to use so I can make 4.5 my non safe system rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
I know someone probably ask this but is this rom able to be flashed by safestrap?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Yes, Safestrap can be used to flash

any

[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
Do I still have to install the Rsdlite to or do I just install the the rom
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
RSDLite is a Windows Computer Application used to apply a stock S	BF to your Droid 3 (revert to stock w/out root aka clean slate).

Depending on what you've done with your phone, modding wise, you may want to SBF. Otherwise, simply wipe data and cache and all and apply the latest version of Steel Droid.

[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
Well I have root and I have installed a rom but still kinda interested in trying this rom! I so would I have to use it?
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
No you don't need to use rsdlite. I think those instructions are from before the official 5.6.890 ota came out. It was just to be sure your system was at that version.
[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
Okay good.. So I just install the rom and this rom is definitely able to use safe strap right?

I installed this last night without wiping and it worked perfectly, ask i was already on 5.6 .890 anything i didnt like i just went back and put what i wanted back, like the original boot animation, i wasnt feelin that big ol steel droid, not saying it wasnt a nice attempt, but it made my phone look bootleg, in my thoughts, i fixed gmail by installing from market, IF IT FORCE CLOSES LIKE MINE DID JUST FIX PERMISSIONS!!! But over all this is a very fast and so far stable rom! Thanks Chevycam94!
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
When you say fix permissions how do I do that I've herd about that but never needed to do that but just in case how do I do that. I'm sure it very simple. Thank you
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Easiest way to do this is to open Rom Manager and scroll to the bottom. There is a button that says, "Fix Permissions" and it will show you the progress as it completes.
[Motorola Droid 3] Code3VW:
Ok, what apks do I need to push for my corporate email to work, calendar, and while we are at it, the social network app for facebook, twitter, and picasa?

Have you tried Pete's RootTool Program and tried restoring system apps?

[Motorola Droid 3] Code3VW:
Thanks for the info. What can I use? Can I run the sbf again using RSD Lite on top of Steel?

1. I had stock rooted 5.5.959.

2. I ran the SBF and I had stock unrooted 5.6.890.

3. I ran the unlock tool and I had stock rooted 5.6.890.

4. I installed Steel and I have Steel rooted 5.6.890.

How do I go back to step 3? :confused:

Re-do step 2 & 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] hurrrtin:
Disregard- I found the answer. ^_^
[Motorola Droid 3] Code3VW:
Can anybody verify I won't get a boot-loop with this? :)
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Yes just be sure to format data, cache, and dalvik. Then apply the zip after. Also just in case u didn't know, re calibrate the battery because battery stats will be wiped. now if u want a specific rom as ur nonsafe rom then u need to use bootstrap because safe stap does not allow flashing on the non safe system. For me I have 4.5 as non safe rom (applied last night) and cm9 as safe rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
I don't know how to re calibrate the battery and why would you want a rom on safe mode and one on non safe mode.. What does this do? what's the purpose of doing this? And I thought if you installed a safestrap you had to get rid of the bootstrap?
