Anyone else having issues with genie widget force closeing? I just drove by a moonwalking icecream cone, but I digress. I have tried several differemt versions ie. Transparent, glass, stock, etc.. with same result. Running logcat it seemed to say that geneiewidget.apk was missing access to some files. I could be wrong tho I see what it says but don't completely understand it. This is not a deal breaker but I like usuing that app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was using 1.17 rc6 which fc'ed and found a 1.20.2 rc2 which runs perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm glad to see this being continuously updated because I feel it really has some potential, but it still lacks what I'm looking for. Well, I can flash it over, but that just isn't worth it when MR is running fine. I do like the addition of Sony Sketch, though. I've been running that since I first rooted my DX who knows how long ago. Keep up the work and I'll be on board.
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Anyone else experiencing "ghosting" with the icons in the status bar? A faded image stays there for a bit and then disappears. Also, metamorph isn't working for me for the status bar.
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
I am getting the ghosting as well I noticed it yesterday for the first time. It comes and goes.
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
Same on both issues! Annoying, but not a deal breaker.

So far, besides lack of bloat, haven't noticed any major differences, battery or speed-wise. What tweaks were made, RAM, kernel, etc?
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
I guess I was too excited to try a ROM on my Bell XT860. After rooting and getting cwm in via bootstrap, I flashed this ROM but am now stuck in a bootloop (motorola logo). :(

I can get into Fastboot though... can anyone help?
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
The rom is still new so there are going to be some issues with it
[Motorola Droid 3] eezdva:
:( That's what I was rather scared of . Let's hope Bell with start with their update and hope some devs from Canada will create some ROMs for our phone :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I ran a complete backup, launched the install as indicated in the original post, and... everything went smoothly. WTF? My stuff NEVER goes smoothly.

Thanks for the hard work put into this. I'll tinker with it a bit and see whats what. So far I'm not seeing any free memory gains over the one click debloat and the app tray seems to have eaten my Script Manager, but otherwise its snappy. It kept my original launcher, theme, etc, though I'm not sure thats the norm. I didn't even have to do the *228 thing...
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Market advises there is a Superuser app update available, then denies installation due to an invalid signature? Anyone else seeing this?
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
I havehad the superuser bad signature issuefor awhile. Even before goingto steeldroid. It is probably a superuser issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] ctheory83:
You're a goddamn champ. Thanks for this.

[Motorola Droid 3] deyna:
i love the ROM except for the name being in big green letters on the lock screen but i'll get over that or use a replacement ^_^

i would love to run Backtrack or some other linux distro on this phone so is there any chance of loop back and ext2 and/or ext3 support?
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
The Droid 3 already supports ext2 ext3 and ext4 along with loopback filesystems. So any Linux distro that supports arm can be installed. I personally use Debian squeeze.
[Motorola Droid 3] deyna:
how did you manage that? my phone doesn't seem to support them. there is an app for installing linux on the market that i use to check for support and it tells me that the phone is lacking.
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
Loving SD3 2, running it for several days now. Speed is a nice improvement over stock. Getting 2-300 points higher in Quadrant and Antutu, though Linpack seems to be @ the same as stock. RAM use seems to be a bit better, too. Battery usage is excellent, no different it seems than stock OTA build.

I've got 1 bug and 1 gripe so far, that's it.

Bug is that all text in Gmail folder list is bold, no matter what. Should be bold for unread, regular for read mail. Swapping fonts doesn't fix it, only way I have gotten rid of this is to moto-fastboot flash back to stock. I've flashed SD3-2 twice now with the same results.

And my only gripe so far is the green text on the lockscreen - not my personal fave.

Keep up the great work.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
To remove the green text from the lockscreen (and green scrollbars/wait-spinners), just copy the framework-res.apk from some other rom into /system/framework.

I used the framework-res from steel droid 1.0, copied it to the root of the external SD card and did this in terminal :-

su

mount -oremount,rw /dev/system /system

cp /sdcard-ext/framework-res.apk /system/framework

sync

mount -oremount,ro /dev/system /system

A few tasks will crash at the moment the apk is replaced. This is no big deal. Reboot your phone and enjoy the decreased greeny-ness.

Big thanks to chevy for this ROM, it's really got the ball rolling for a lot of people - my phone is now starting to feel like it belongs to me, not motorola.

De-bluring it would really complete the transformation, but it's a horrible job to attempt. I had a quick look and it seems com.motorola.everything depends on com.motorola.everythingelse - yuk.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Well if you bought yours on a contract it technically still belongs to them ;). jk.
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
I know I'm a minority, but I prefer this blur over stock, which is why I settled on this instead of Monster rom. I just can't live without app drawer organization (and shortcuts), blur contacts widget.

Used to use Launcher pro, and it's great, but I like the overall blur experience on D3 better. If only we could add scrolling app bar like launcher pro...
[Motorola Droid 3] GulMiguel:
Apparently, I wasn't as fortunate as others. I followed the directions to a "T". However, after rebooting, the system just kept boot looping over and over. I took out the battery and put it back in - boot loop, boot loop. I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and then rebooted - boot loop, boot loop. Such a shame, I really loved the 'blue' treatment of the Bionic startup screen - it looked as if things were going to work. Ultimately, I had to reflash .690 (the hard way - via fastboot because RSDLite didn't work either. I ultimately got things back to stock, but now I'm less enthusiastic to try again later. Don't want to go through moto-fastboot flashing - it was relatively simple, but I was a case of frazzled nerves by that time. If anyone has any insight as to what I screwed up, please give me some detailed criticism and I may try again. Otherwise, I'll just wait until a newer version without a bunch of pre-liminary steps is available. Thanks for tryin. Everyone's work is always greatly appreciated - just because you take the time and resources to make the effort. that fact is not lost on me. Take care family.
[Motorola Droid 3] AcidRoot:
How do I change the font back to stock? Sony Sketch is hard for me to read.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Font can be changed with various apps, such as; Root Tools, Font Installer, etc.

[Motorola Droid 3] Euforeik:
charging and overheating problem

I flashed this correctly but my phone charges but then over heats. then i wake up to it only at 30 or so percent battery. any advice?
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
You couldn't have said that any better. Lol. Its very true however. Still gives me a laugh when I read that quote. :-P
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
What mods from Jewremy weren't included with this? Just curious, cause I'm a huge fan of his mods, and I know you two have been working together to make these Steel Droid updates even better!

edited to fix typo.
[Motorola Droid 3] kent1146:
+1 to this advice. I just inatalled Font Installer after reading Yonner's post. In just a few minutes, i fixed the one major complaint i had with SteelDroid.

Thanks, man!
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
Chevy juts posted on twitter that v2.5 is close to coming out. Can't wait. =D
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
There you go. v3.0 is up and ready!
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
It said file not found when i tried the dl
[Motorola Droid 3] chevycam94:
Yeah, I know. I took the upload down, because the upload was corrupt. Its back up now, and verified. :-D
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
Thank ya :3
[Motorola Droid 3] tx3kgtman:
cant get the download to start. After I click download file it just spins.

EDIT: Working now
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Just made the switch to this, running great.
[Motorola Droid 3] tx3kgtman:
Loving 3.0 only thing anyway you can make the notification power widget color darker? It looks highlighted
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
+1 man, working great!

I flashed right on top of 2.0 with v5 of Jewremy's mod installed. So far, not a single hitch :D
[Motorola Droid 3] jthompson0019:
Loving also. My d3 is close to perfect. Can we get hotspot added to notification widget?
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
Has anyone tried both this and the XT883 Rom? Is this one running much smoother than XT883 Rom?

Since XT883 does not support Nandroid backup at the moment, therefore it would be a pain if you need to switch back if this does not perform much better...

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] kyleenrb:
ZOMG fast!
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
Props! This works great!
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Your place of business should convert to gmail like mine did. :P

Still uses Active Directory to control users and mail distros.
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
Nice job on this release! I love the additions to v3.

Couple things I have noticed is that the menu tray buttons dont match each other in intensity. Wallpaper and search are a nice black while settings, manage apps, and notifications are a more of a gray like color. I also noticed this when using the menu for the picture buttons inside of the camera.apk. I love the addition of the quick access menu in the dropdown. One edit to that would be nice to change is its color when the application is on. It is kind of hard to tell what is actually on and off. My last addition to the next build would be the battery charger. Not sure if others are experiencing this, but if the phone charges to 95%, it shows it is fully charged and the battery charger icon goes off, yet the battery indicator still shows a climb until it reaches 99.

Just putting in my 2 cents worth. Thank you so much for all you have done! I am really loving this ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] colbyb25:
If I am on 2.0 and want to do a clean install, is there any issues with formating from CWR and then installing 3.0?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
You should be fine, but I'm not 100% sure. Make a nandroid 1st though, just in case as always :)
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
V3 is my fave by far. I love the ICS touches, and it's running fast & reliable.

Email help?

huge fan of this ROM. only problem i have right now... I NEED MY EMAIL ITS GONE! haha if someone can walk me through STEP BY STEP to get it back that would be AMAZING. thanks guys..
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
First off great rom! Any way u can put the stock music app back or add lockscreen music controls? I use it often.
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
Make sure you read the thread on questions like this.

1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)

2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).

3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.

4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.

5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.

6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).

7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.

8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!

Edit: alternatively, you can adb push the file to /system/app. Will yield the same result.

You can also add back messenging.apk if you use that like I do for a overview of all email accounts.

Thanks to eomalley411 on Droid Forums!
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
that didnt work. i followed step by step. was i supposed to download the deodex stock at rootzwiki? or the deodex and debloat?
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
I did the stock deodex. Make such you have the bluremail.apk. I also did messenging.apk. I just copy and pasted the files using a file manager. Also, you must reboot the phone to recognize.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Never mind man i retried and it worked like a beauty. i appreciate your step by step instructions. YOU SAVED MY LIFE :]
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
Anytime! Hope this helps others too so this issue stops cluttering the board! Add thanks if you like!
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
Finally got 3 up and running. Is mass storage mode not working?
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
I	just added music to my phone just now via mass storage.. whats not working for you lord?
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
I'm diggin' it. Gotta redo all of my Transparent apps now, since you updated my google music though! YOU B*****d! :P IMO I think the transparent google music would look much better/cleaner for this ROM though, just my opinion though hehe... I'll put it back on when i get home and do some Screen shots Thanks for all the hard work! Keep it up, looks great!

[Edited:] to censor vulgore language... doh!
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Contacts help!

i went back and forth between monster rom and steel and now i went to go call someone and all my contacts were gone. that wasnt a problem because i just imported from sd but i want my facebook contacts too and the my accounts is disabled... anyway to re-enable it or sync fb contacts?
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Make sure you still have your google acct added in settings>accounts.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Oh wow i totally forgot about my gmail account. But dude the account setting is disabled in this rom. So i cant access it. But im smart enough to know i need a gmail account to access the market(: so i just added it that way. But that still doesnt solve my facebook contact issue:/
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Install the facebook app, and select sync
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
already had that app. So i deleted it. Re-installed and it doesnt give me an option to sync? Where is the sync button? I even went into contact settings and clicked on display contacts options and facebook isnt showing up? Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
do you still have the My Accounts app?

or the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk in the /system/app folder?

from what it sounds like you just can't set up the sync, you have the FB app installed, it's just not syncing the account info to the phone, i THINK that might be done through AccountAndSyncSettings.apk just a guess though, Don't have a lot of time to investigate for ya bro! I'll check it out more when I get home.
[Motorola Droid 3] jon135:
I have been running this for a few days and I love it. Its fast as hell and the battery life is much better. One problem though, I can't change the usb connection when I plug into my computer. I tried multiple cables, have the moto drivers on my computer, tried rebooting. It just never gives me the option to change from charge only (which I assume its in since it charges but just doesn't connect. I was gonna give the wireless hack a go so any input on this problem would be much appreciated.

Edit... I tried every usb on my computer including the usb 3.0, tried my laptop as well with same results
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Everyone having issues with anything should wipe data/cache and system and reflash the rom. Just sayin........
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
did everything as instructed. rooted, installed tweaked bootstrap, ran it, then booted to recovery. i also made a nandroid backup. i ran the steel rom and it installed. the phone reset and wouldn't get past the dual core technology splashscreen for about 15 minutes, so i pulled battery....nothing still. so i read that m plus power gets to bp tools(whatever that is). well i see the menu in all white and pick bp tools but still will not get past same splashscreen. basically i need help getting past this splashscreen.
[Motorola Droid 3] jon135:
tried wiping and reflashing... didnt work. in fact half the phone doesnt work and it removed the bootstrap so i cant nandroid back
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
Jon - Wtf does that even mean? You can always just reinstall the bootstrapper to get your nand back.

It would appear that the two of you screwed up somewhere along the way. Try getting back into BP Tools, oh and as the dev has told us, it MAY TAKE QUITE A WHILE in the initial boot. If you truly believe that you screwed up and your phone is bricked, then you need to SBF. SBF instructions for the D3 are easily locatable in these forums.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Librarat is correct the 1st boot will usually take awhile, & worst comes to worst you can SBF, and then reroot.

@Jon if you are forced to SBF and Reroot, then you can reinstall the bootstrap and restore an old nandroid.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
Does anyone know what the name of the font that chevy used in the earlier SD iterations was called?
[Motorola Droid 3] jon135:
@ yannor that's exactly what I had to do. Once I sbf'ed I just started a new build and finaly got everything working again. Now that the usb is working again, not even gonna bother with nandroid restore
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
If you know how to use ADB, you can manually 'push' the clockwork mod app onto your phone to install it. You can get it from my repository or elsewhere ( http://www.noobitron.com/media/droid3/ )

Assuming that you still have USB access to your phone once Its booted, just re-install off your SD card.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
in v2 he was using "Sony Sketch" but he changed it back to stock for v3 due to complaints.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
Thanks yonnor :D
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
I'm bummed as I liked the small font. Made texting sooo much better :P I've gone through and just reinstalled it, ADB is my best friend.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Lol yeah I actually reinstalled it myself too, I used JRummy's Font Installer though. :) Little easier then ADB.

I'm hoping someone ports the new Roboto Font, I tried the CWM Flashable Zip but it didnt work sadly :(
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
if you use JRummy's font installer, the roboto font is included in it now, updated to it this morning
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Lmao.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
by the way jon. A buddy of mine told me (which was extremely helpful/useful) that when u make a nandroid. Plug your phone into your computer and drag and drop the cwm recovery folder or backup folder (whichever its titled i forgot) to your desktop. That way, if anything gets messed up in your phone internally, you always have your backups no matter what!
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Even if something goes wrong on your phone, Nandroids are saved to your SD Card which

never

gets touched when you wipe your phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Yeah i know but phones are computers.. you can never be so sure your sd will be 100% safe/reliable. But yes your right
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
At the end of the night, you can always lose data. Which was the point of making a copy of the backup. Redundancy. Its key. And seeing as there was question as to how the recovery would act and if it would overwrite or not existing backups since the current method of bootstrap is different still from previous cwm backups (compared to og droid). It was a good idea to make additional backups. Imo anyways. Seeing as documentation is still scares as its still all being developed and matured.
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
i must have missed this update...

Are you talking about Root Tools or Rom Toolbox?
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
I use his one thats called Font Installer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jumannie:
I'm trying to find out the best way to install a new rom & kernel.

Should you update kernel first then rom? or rom first then kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Always rom first then kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jumannie:
Thanks for the info...

any particular reason why?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Because when you flash a rom it contains a kernel that will erase any kernel you flash before hand. So say your wanting to flash morfics trinity kernel for cm7, you'd want to flash cm7 first then trinity kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jumannie:
With the rom your using.... does your APN work?

I've tried the Power+ Volume UP and still no APN connection. My settings are there an selected but it doesn;t connect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
It should work, faux's rom are second to none imho.

But for right now i couldn't tell you since my baseband is unknown and gonna be sent back to LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mightymike889:
y doesnt faux have goveners in his kernel...

or does he and i just downloaded the wrong 1 ...im using his kernel and my batterylife is terrible (very heavy fone user)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Its like that for all rom's and kernels for g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Because the default governors of stock kernels are already very good.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Versatile1:
Boot animations are everywhere what were you looking for?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheMuffStuff:
Any bootanimation.zip should work with our phone, although we are qhd and it might distort the image
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Htimez2:
Ones that are made to fit

Im looking for ones made to fit our phone, yes there are a lot of bootanimations out there, I think everyone knows that, Im looking ofr ones that wont distort that are made to fit the bionic screen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Versatile1:
Any that work on the X/X² should look fine on here and I wasn't being rude in my response just needed clarity on what you were looking for.
