You don't need to calibrate your battery. The idea is to fully charge then wipe the battery stats. However a recent blog post by a google framework engineer pointed out that when you fully charge your device the battery stats are already wiped. You can see proof of this by checking battery use in settings. When you unplug after a full charge, everytging is reset.

Here's the link

Thank you but is there anyway you could answer the other question I confused with the 2 rom thing an bootstrap
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
as far as i understand you cant run both straps , its one or the other and i was told safestrap is better to flash roms, also i dnt kno the difference between safe rom non safe sorry i ccant answer that , but like i tell everyone always make a backup in case u unsure , ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Safestrap is designed to allow people to flash rom, but still receive OTA updates. It does this by renaming /system(which is what a rom) to /systemorig(nonsafe mode) and /preinstall to /system(safemode). So when you flash a rom with safestrap you are actually flashing /preinstall. This way system remains intact, its harder to brick you phone flashing a no compatible rom or by screwing around with other system files. Because /system orig is intact, and it what the phone starts booting into you can always reach recovery. However safestrap doesn't allow flash of /systemorig. This keeps you from bricking, but the drawack is if you want to try a new rom you have to overwrite your current one and start from scratch. You can use tibu and stuff to restore app data, but qny widgets, system settings etc. Are all lost. The way around this is to chage /systemorig to your preffered rom and test new ones in /system. The only way to do this is to remove safestrap, install bootstrap(droid3CWbootstrap.apk) flash your /systemorig, remove bootstrap and reinstall safestrap. Now your nonsafe mode is changed and safemode is your playground for new roms. this is exactly the setup I have. Liberty is my main rom, but sometimes I like to test new releases. I can flash them in safestrap, play around and then switch back to liberty, everything the way I left it.

That being said there is a tweaked safestrap that is supposed to allow you to flash /systemorig, but it doesn't always work and it requires change the updater script to flash /systemorig.

Car Dock - Music

I only did a search but couldn't find a post on this. With SD 4.5, has anyone had an issue where in the car dock with the USB cable's headphone jack connected the music still comes out of the device's built in speaker instead of what's connected to the jack? It is the ONLY thing I've found wrong with this rom! Well worth the donation as it has taken my D3 from frustrating to totally usable and fast! Thanks a bunch!!
[Motorola Droid 3] ryanw5489:
Endoroid your saying that it is possible to use safestrap and bootstrap. I am new to the whole rom thing and I would like to try out some other roms out but like you said I don't want to have to do everything all over so if this is possible how could you do this? I currently I am running liberty 3 rom on my safe rom now. And I would like to try new roms but don't want to have to keep switching back inforth
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
You can't use them at the same time. You have to go into safestrap app(while in nonsafe mode) and uninstall recovery. Then uninstall the app itself. Then you can install the bootstrap, install recovery(in app), flash, then uninstall the bootstrap app(it has no uninstall recovery, installing safestrap will remove the bootstrap recovery), the reinstall safestrap. Give me a minute and I'll post a link for the bootstrap. To get into the bootstrap, boot the phone by holding m+power, then select bptools.

But you have to make sure you only have one strap installed at a time, otherwise you'll brick. If you do brick, use the same method to recover as previously.

So after installing a new rom u don't have to calibrate now?
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
I have decided to start working a little bit at a time on v4.6 (or possibly 5.0, depending on how I feel its progressing). Im finishing up a MASSIVE project of ROMs, so until thats finished and released, I will be working on my D3 ROM very slowly, and only in my very extra spare time.
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
sad face :(
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
I know, but its still going to be done. This current project I have it too big to put on the back burner. lol
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
well ill wait hope its amazing like current project u workin on :)
[Motorola Droid 3] MicroNix2:
Take the time you need. v4.5 has made my D3 usable again and its appreciated. I was going insane with the stock rom!! One of the more deserving roms I've contributed to.
[Motorola Droid 3] blackbuddha:
Other than the impossibility to edit or remove toggle widgets in the notification bar and some gray-out areas in settings, the ROM is pretty solid. I thought quite hard before return to CyanogenMod due to its abundant customisation.
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Thanks. If you havent already, you check out v5.1. Its true ICS, and has more customization than you can shake a......yeah, you get the idea. lol

When flashing on step 9 of your instructions, it will reboot a few times and then it always fails on step 6.

I am using system version 5.7.906 on a stock droid 3 I just got. Am I having an error because I am using the wrong SBF file? Your link is for version 5.6.890. I'm not sure if I have to use another and where I can get it.

I dont know why he hasn`t post it here but theres a update to SteelDroid 4.8
[Motorola Droid 3] dmik:
Hello, Please help. Tried to install new rom but at step 9 during installation process at step 6/18 installation failed and phone got stuck in faile AP fast boot. Now every time i power on the phone it shows faile AP fast boot. Phone was rooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Sometimes it takes several attempts for the SBF to "take", just try again until it works. Its taken me up to 15 tries before! lol
[Motorola Droid 3] GreenSnow7:
I swear I did it 30 times the first time I SBF'd, probably wasn't that many but seemed like it
[Motorola Droid 3] huhu1312:
if it boot in directly to ap fast boot go back to step 5

5: Boot the Droid 3 into bootloader by holding both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time when powering the phone on

then u can choose normal boot (if system isnt crashed) but i think yours is crashed.

also if u can boot up your system u need to flash a file with AP fast boot to get the failure screen away

so try flash an other file (download again or other version)
[Motorola Droid 3] dmik:
Finaly I solved the problem.

My Rom was 5.7.906 that's why I could not update. After i combined Droid_3_SBF_5.6.890 and VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_FXZ-UPDATE, RSD Lite updated with no problem. Then I used motofail-gb for rooting. After then instaled Bootstrap app then enable it. Only after all this proces i was aqble to install zip Rom from sd card. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Haha I'm glad you were able to get it all sorted out!

Hey chevy,

I know that the Droid 3 is not your number one device now, but let mr ask: for the ICS Steel Droid we can hope for an update? It is in fact a very smooth and nice ROM.

Thanks for the nice work on both ROMs!

Finally I test all roms and I believe this rom is the best for daily use... It isn't the lightest (minimoto) or best in bechmark (maverick) but works normally...
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Does this by chance include a disabling of the wifi hotspot app kicking in?

Do we even know where that is baked into?
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
No. The radio would have to be changed as well as a complete system overhaul.
[Motorola Droid 3] Code3VW:
I just tried both USB tethering and the Wifi Hotspot, and neither of them work properly any longer...they just take you to the Verizon page asking you to add that feature to your account. :mad:
[Motorola Droid 3] btonetbone:
You have to re-do the tethering hack to enable this feature. Chevycam linked to the process in his first post. It should work again once you complete the settings.
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
ooh....now there is an idea!
[Motorola Droid 3] Code3VW:
I understand, but here is my problem. Please take a look at the changelog from the first post:

Nowhere on here does it say that this will disable the tethering, disable the calendar, and if Blur Email = corporate exchange email then that is not very clear. Sure, GMAIL and Google Maps can be downloaded from the market, but this ROM partially cripples our smart phones!

I have had a G1, Mytouch Slide, G2, Charge, and now the D3, and with the exception of the Charge, I have rooted, and flashed several ROMs to them, so I am no novice. A warning about what would have mysteriously disappeared off of the phone, like calendar, corporate email, and any tethering settings, would have been appreciated so I would have known ahead of time that this "quick" flash involved hours of work on the back end searching for apk's, and re-doing the tether procedure.

To the OP, take my issue for what its worth. Right now, you are the only person making ROMs for us, and for that I am grateful. The truth of the matter is that I didn't have much time to dedicate to resolving issues with my phone, and my frustration is tied to that. Thanks for all of your hard work on this ROM, and as others have said, it is great for those that don't need all of the "fluff" in the stock ROM. :D

To the readers and soon-to-be-Steel-flashers, this ROM does not include some programs that you might find necessary. Be warned! :)

EDIT: FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO GO BACK TO REGULAR 5.6.890, JUST USE RSD LITE TO FLASH THE XML AGAIN. Yay!

[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
Restored back to rooted leaked OTA de-bloated stock after I was unable to restore any system app with TBU.

During my testing I could restore games and other apps, just not system apps. I really needed the calendar back, plus I was getting calendar error messages on boot-up and randomly. I guess I could've found a dump and pushed them back onto the phone, but didn't have the time.

This Rom may be a little too stripped.

It did run blazingly fast and seemed stable otherwise.

I had performed a Nandroid BU before I flashed and Koush's CWM successfully restored the old system just fine.

I really appreciate the work that went into this, but I'm waiting on a more custom Rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
I agree with you in the fact that he should have listed all the apps that are removed, but they were causing problems with this new update. Something that could only be fixed by first removing the calendar app which can be replaced by going here: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6078-ROM-Droid-3-Deodexed . There is no fix for the corporate email as of right now, the only thing I can think of is by using K9, which most people despise.
[Motorola Droid 3] qudwis:
thank you for the rom. i just installed it and it's very good

the only problem i have is i keep getting calendar storage fc

My D3 fails the OTA update even after restoring bloat, unrooting, resetting from recovery, clearing the cache, resetting from settings, etc. Can I still run Steel Droid or is this an indication that RSDing the new SBF will mess up my D3?
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Mine did too. Not too sure why. You keep getting the update failed popup? I had run the debloat a few times but it always failed. I just ran this basically to send back to verizon w/o root since my ear speaker seems to have failed.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Yep, failed update pop up every time. The update progress bar gets maybe a quarter to a third of the way then shows an exclamation point and reboots. Is there a log saved somewhere to identify whats pissing it off? I'm ok with blowing it back to stock but want to be sure feeding it the SBF isn't going to further goof things up. Will the stock firmware SBF overwrite everything back to original through RSDLite?
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
i'm not exactly sure why someone would want to get the OTA after they've rooted, flashed, and reflashed already. Seems kind of counterproductive imo

Woohoo! Flashed the original firmware through moto-fastboot and it accepted the OTA update to 890. I'll sit a while and tell myself I'll never tinker with it again then go back to messing it up in a few hours...

Good enough with Hashcode's bootstrap.

I'm using apk made by Hashcode.

It works perfectly.

Who knows difference between Koush's bootstrap and Hashcode's?
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Sigh here we go again..

Koush's bootstrap uses the hijack, while Hashcode's uses 2nd init. Which is why you are able to boot into recovery from power-off mode, using BP Tools.

That's the Laymans way of saying it.

Clockwork recovery flashable 5.6.890

To be totally honest, I dont remember off the top of my head if the files in the SBF there are odex or deodex. I would assume odex, as thats what stock is. Sorry, Its 3:30 am, and I am just too tired to keep typing. I will correct myself when I get more sleep. :-D

Maybe a stupid question but will this ROM run on the Bell XT860???

Not been specified that it's for the XT862 so maybe I answered my own question but would like to be a 100% sure.

And what you guys say about batterylife cause the Droid3 is in need of that lol. I think we all agree on that.

Thanks for coming up with a ROM . Great work.

HDMI

Ok so installed Steel on a friends droid 3 about a week ago, I think it was steel 1 not steel 2 but we noticed a problem about 20 minutes ago......there is no longer a mirror mode or anyway we can get his droid3 to show up on my tv through the hdmi wire. Does Steel 2 fix this or can anyone recommend ANY way we can fix this? Other then this problem he is thoroughly enjoying this rom for so many reasons but if we cant get his phone to show on a tv its kind of a deal breaker and he will end up flashing back to stock..........seeing this update to steel2 he wants to try that but not if we cant get hdmi out.

You need to get the DLNA patch. That's what's required for mirror mode to work. was considered just bloat but now we know its required for that

I literally just installed via CWM and everything worked for me. GAS (GMail,contacts,calendar) all worked for me. I didnt clear any caches beforehand either. Steel Droid v1 lacked MSExchange apk
[Motorola Droid 3] PWn3R:
This is definitely v2 and I receive the messages, get notified (sound goes off and I can't turn that off either) but I can't open the messages from universal mailbox or the s9ecific account mailbox. If I open the specific account mailbox it FCs, if I open universal mailbox I see the message headers but as soon as I try to open or compose a message it FCs. The latest Cyanogen Mod mail program FCs trying to connect to either of my accounts.
