Ok I can't find the poll is it something i cant see through the app
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yeah, you can't see it with the app. Just use the browser or wait until you're at a desktop.

Also, a fix will be up in about 5-10 minutes for video recording. I'm uploading now.
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
I found it sometimes i just dont think
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
New build is live, fixes video recording. Grab it now.

Also, I will leave the poll open for about a week. After that time, I will make the launcher whatever the majority of people vote for.
[Motorola Droid 3] nu2droid:
Damn... Just got .91 setup.

Downloading again...

Nice job, thanks.

Oh yeh, ADW Launcher is my way to go.

I'm not going to go through the thread and count every vote, I'm only going to look at the poll. So make sure to vote that way. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
I'd love to see a modded stock blur launcher as i prefer the stock goodness and I voted for that lol, man thats a sexy looking theme, awesome colours.

The notification buttons are also standard on LG droids, had it on my Optimus 2x, great idea all droid phones should have easy quick access to notification buttons.

How difficult was that to add to the framework? Wonder if we can grab the screenshot function from If I remember XT883 rom?

Keep up the good work.

everyone vote blurrrrrrr.
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
Go launcher ex! Also if u don't go throw the replies how would u know what "other" launchers people pick
[Motorola Droid 3] tx3kgtman:
btw I dont know what went wrong but I wiped data / cache / dalvic and installed rom. and now it wont boot up. Stays at the moto logo. Guess Ill rsd...
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
The first time did his rom I wiped and went into a boot loop the second time I did not wipe anything and it went fine. Most of these roms are not saying to wipe like im used to do with dx and I've had no mare issues with boot looping with all the roms I've been flashing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
I don't believe you need to wipe cache unless the Devs tell you to.
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
installed last night and its looking good thank you!

I hope you continue this rom for a while because it is already looking great!!
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
A few things to address:

1) If "other" wins the poll, which im not too sure it will, I'll go through the thread and make a new poll that includes all the other launchers people posted.

2) Like every other rom out for the D3, you don't *need* to wipe anything, but it could never hurt to do so.

3) I'm glad you all love the rom so much! You won't have to worry about maintaining it, this rom is mah baby.

After Baylor kicks A&M's ass in football, I'll get back to the working on the theme.
[Motorola Droid 3] nu2droid:
Couple things I found.

This first load of. 91 I wiped everything and took forever to load, but it did. On the. 911 loaded on top with no problems, loaded quick.

The only thing I see not working (for me anyway) is the double tap home for the music app. I changed it to text and others and it worked, just not with the music for some reason.

Other than that, everythings sweet.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
The first load of any rom will take a while after a wipe.

And about the music not launching: It is because I replaced the music app. I'll look into that and see what I can do. It also won't launch other things if you remove them with the bloat removal tool, such as Motorola's social networking things.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Update!

Changelog:

V0.93:

- New & faster camera app

- Dialer themed (not the in-call screen)

- Other small theme tweaks
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Awesome! Installing now.
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
There is a fix for this, it's a result of the v5 mod.

In adb shell as su, run:

setprop media.stagefright.enable-record false

Or, just change the setting in the build.prop :P
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Fixed that a few days ago :P
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Is this ROM ok for international users? Or Verizon Droid 3's only?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I made it on my Verizon Droid 3, so I'm not sure what will happen if other models try it. But, if you have a way to sbf/recover, I'd say go for it and let me know what happens.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Wow, looks great. May even be worth be rooting, which I have not done yet because of the lack of roms. Nice work though! Look forward to trying this after rooting!
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
You should still root even if you don't want to flash a rom. That way, you're still running the stock software but you can get rid of all the bloatware.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
True
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I read everywhere that motorola's blur is crappy and laggy and that e.g. launcher pro is much faster... then why is blur winning the poll? I don't get it
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
Perhaps because its pretty? Its also really not that bad once rooted/debloated. And you get the sweet quick contacts widget. Man I wish it worked with launcher pro.

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Do you have to keep motorola's widgets for that?
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
The quick contacts widget requires blur, but that's the only one that does that I know of.

[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I got bored, so I got to work.

UPDATE.

I updated Blur with some theme progress, replaced some icons with their ICS counterparts, and changed the font. Download is live.
[Motorola Droid 3] tx3kgtman:
Edit again:

I dont know whats up with my phone but for some reason I cant use your roms. Ive tried installing over steeldroid 3.0 tried wiping data and cache and without. Tried installing right after a SBF. My last attempt I SBFed rooted, installed recovery and then installed your rom and still didnt work. It hangs at the motorola boot logo and doesnt do anything. Ive left it there for 10+ minutes. Sucks I would really like to install it. Guess my phone is a pos. Reminds me why I should never by a moto phone again.
[Motorola Droid 3] LRiley:
themed blur is nice, as well as the font...is it possible to make a vertical app draw? if not them the themed blur is still pleasing to the eye
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
I am liking this new update. Although I did change the font but that's no big deal,
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
You have the Verizon xt862, right? If so, I have no idea what's wrong. If not, that's your problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
Are you open to suggestions?

If so is there anyway you can incorporate a Screenshot app into the notification bar widgets area? Just a question to see if its possible / spark your interest in it.

Thanks,

Jordan
[Motorola Droid 3] tx3kgtman:
yeh i have the xt862. Dunno whats wrong.
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
can you tell me how you did this? i really like the ROM except the font is so small i can see things as well as i would like.

thanks for any help.
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
I use root tools by Jrummy in the market. But i believe rom toolbox by him is free as well and there are a lot of fonts. I have the pro version so im not sure if it limits installation.

Hope this helps,

Jordan
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
The fonts are is /system/fonts/, the original ones are DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold. The originals are in there with .bak on the ends of them, so you only need to use root explorer or the equivalent to get the originals.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
You should only be using the tweaked bootstrap (aka safestrap) if the standard cwmrecovery doesn't work for you.

*Edit*

SBF and try again.
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
thanks. went with JRummy Rom Toolbox Pro :)
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
the bootstrap i used said tweaked at the bottom. what do you mean by sbf and try again. all my experience was with fascinate. this droid stuff is foreign to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I'm on my phone so I can't link you atm, but look in the dev forum for the thread with all the ROMs/themes/mods, and in there you'll find a link to an SBF. Follow the instructions there.

*EDIT*

Follow the directions in this thread:

the link for the flashable zip says error. do you know of a mirror? also, thanks for the help. i think your links are reversed, or at least i hope they are. when i can finally find a flashable zip, do i just open rsd and put zip in it with phone hooked up.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Open RSD, then browse for the .xml in the file you downloaded. Then boot up your phone into BP-Tools, wait for it to connect (you'll see it say so in RSD), then press start in the program.
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
Man I'm sorry, I'm so lost. When I do as you said, I stay on the dual core splash screen and my device doesn't show up. Also, I tried the attachment xml file from the link you provided and I get error while putting it into rsd. Something about corrupt or files missing. Do I need to dl the whole 400 something zip file or just the 900 kb xml file? Also, i was looking into psouza's method. do you know about it? Please keep helping I just got this phone and got in over my head.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
1) power the phone completely down.

2) press and hold m and the power button, you'll see a menu come up

3) use the volume down button to navigate to ap fastboot

4) when ap fastboot is selected, press volume up to select it

5) start SRD lite

6) browse for the xml file (yes, you need the entire 400mb download)

7) connect phone via usb

8) wait for device to show up in rsd

9) when ready, press start

10) ???

11) PROFIT!

^^^That'll fix you right up.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
so this rom works both on CDMA and GSM, right?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
As long as you have an xt862, yes.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
yeap :)

looking forward to a full working version of DarkDroid, and will be the first ROM to be put on my D3 :)

(sorry for my newbie questions...)

if i dont want to save anything from my stock device can i go directly to step 2 from the instalation guide?

install from zip: means installing from Recovery mode?
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
Although it is recommended to make a backup in case anything goes wrong, you do not have to.

And install from zip does mean installing from recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe.cotto:
The Psouza script will work. I had the same problem the other day. Used his script and phone is up and running. It says 959, but I used it and took me straight to 890,so it will work. I'm now on stock deodexed, but am planning on installing this rom this weekend. It looks good.
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
how do you use the psouza script?
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
Here are some screens of DP's current work on Dark Droid .9441 for anyone who is wondering:
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
That doesn't look much at all like what I have running right now, and the biggest update so far from .9441 and .95 are menu icons.

Also, Blur launcher wins the poll. If you want to use another launcher instead, go right ahead. If I have extra time on my hands between work and parties over the weekend, I'll theme some other launchers.
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
Am I doing something wrong that it does not look the same?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Everything looks too.... bright.
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
when i run rsd using the 466 mb file it goes all the way to 13/18 takes a while but briefly continues on. when it fails it says 16/18 cdrom something. suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] LRiley:
when will .95 be out and 1.o?
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
thats just my drocap2 app
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
.95 will be out when I hear back from the guy whos working on text colors for me. 1.0 will be out when I finish the entire theme, which should be (but don't quote me on this) within a week.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
so, is the voting done at midnight (20 -> 21), or midnight (21 -> 22)? =D
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
20-21, but I've already begun to theme Blur.

*EDIT*

And if someone could be so kind as to instruct me on how to remove the poll in the OP..... lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
thank you for the reply. so...the zip will be put in which folder?

do I need to do a format (something like "task 29") before ?

recovery mode=power button & volume + and-...and then choose which option?
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
I put the .zip in my downloads folder on the EXTERNAL SD CARD. (you can put it anywhere you'd like because you will have to manually navigate to it anyway.)

1)Once you boot into CWM Recovery go to option #5 "Install Zip From SDCard" (Navigate with volume +/- and Selecting with power key)

2)Now depending on where you placed it you want to select either option #1 For external sd card or option #5 For internal. Choose the one your .zip is on.

3)Navigate to the folder where you placed it (if it isn't on there don't panic keep scrolling down)

4)Select the .zip you would like to install

5)Then it will ask you to confirm install. Select the Yes - Install (insert rom name here)

When it is done installing, you want to hit the reboot system now option.

It may take a few minutes to initially boot after starting the rom (especially if you wiped your system, don't panic)

Hope this helps!

[Motorola Droid 3] digitalsynner85:
I have a question. If I use the 1-click-root method, would I still be able to install this ROM? I haven't gotten the phone yet, as it's on it's way and will be here Tuesday, so I'm unable to dabble with this currently lol.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yep, you can. All the 1-click root method does is give you root. With root, you can install the 2nd-init bootloader thingy. And with that, you can install roms. So doing the rootm ethod is step one to evertthing.

Also I am drunk so sorry fior any grammatical or spelling erroprs.

[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
FYI, there is an old version of my logwrapper hijack script in your ROM (/system/bin/logwrapper -- it's v82 I think) and the original logwrapper as located at /system/bin/logwrapper.orig

You can remove the logwrapper file and rename logwrapper.orig back to logwrapper.

I've retired that version of my older recovery in favor of either Koush's Recovery or my Safestrap.

In at least 1 possible scenario, I can for see a boot loop issue by having that logwrapper file in the ROM:

If the user ever re does the "Bootstrap Recovery" in Koush's Bootstrap it will:

1. Rename my older logwrapper hijack shell script to logwrapper.bin

2. Add his hijack binary

3. Create a symlink to the hijack binary named "logwrapper"

This will probably end in a boot loop because of the double hijack which starts with his symlinked hijack executing my hijack (now named logwrapper.bin). It might even boot a couple times this way because the logwrapper.bin file will still try and call logwrapper.orig.

Until the user installs Safestrap over this install which attempts to fix Koush's binaries before installing it's own hijack files.

You could probably install Koush's hijack files into this ROM and be a bit safer in that the user would have recovery still post flash (I think Liberty does this).

Buzz me at hashcode0f@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Np, love the ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Diggy1584:
Been running your rom for a good while and I was just wondering if everyone is having the radio, wifi, and cell stand by as the top three on battery usage.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
It really depends on how much you use your phone and what all you do on it. Typically, display is highest.
[Motorola Droid 3] Diggy1584:
Right understand but when running stock my cell and wifi hardly hit 20%. Basically my phone looks like it is still running pre update when on your rom and was just wondering if I am the only one
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
You may have a rouge app in the background. I'll keep an eye on my usage today and get back to you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
I can also confirm less efficient battery usage with Dark Droid in comparison to stock debloated deoxed 5.6.890, by an estimated 25-30% difference. Top battery consumers seem to be Display (expected), Android OS, Wifi, and Phone idle (in that order).

Wifi consumption used to be very little for me, as I would leave it on all the time and it would cause less battery consumption in comparison to 3G. Not sure why it seems to be chewing up more with Dark Droid. Regardless, I'm still getting great battery usage and I continue to use Dark Droid (again, kudos to the Dev for this great piece of work).

I should also note that I have very few apps installed. A few games and your standard popular apps. System is debloated using psouza's script.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Are you guys keeping wifi on all day long?
[Motorola Droid 3] J_Marrie:
I honestly think the battery drain issue is because of the 1% battery increments "polling" the battery every percentage.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I also decreased the wifi scan time... I have it changed to 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes or whatever it is now in the next version.

[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I do not exactly follow what you're saying.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
With the stock rom under battery mode you can set your phone to turn off data after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes... but not anything below 15
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
DoubleYouPee explained it to you :)

under 15min ..or no connection at all..only manual sync the email and whether..

after a period of >15min of standby, when i make a phone call, until a dial it starts sync the data, and for the first 10seconds the voice transfer is not perfect...

and also i dont want to update the email continuously..because i am in front of a computer pretty often...
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Ohhhhhhhhhh gotcha.

Yeah I'll look into that. Should be easy once I find it.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
thank you!!

either an automatic stop of data connection after X minutes -if possible X to be set by the user (x < 15 :P ) or something like a shortcut/widget to manually stop/start data connection...
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
There's already a widget that start/stops dataconnection I think.. It's called Data Connection
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
yeah, but perhaps it would be easier for the end user to have an option to stop data connection after...0-5-10-15min...to be introduced next TO the stock 15-30-60 minutes options.

i like a ROM fully optional with all (or most..of) the programs already installed...ready to use within 10min from installation..

i got this habit from the ENERGY roms for Rhodium...

Why dont you just turn sync off?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Just throwing this out there, the up/down arrow in the notification widgets is data connection, so you could just use that whenever you wanted. Idk how much time I'll have to look into custom data timeout times, my next couple of days look pretty busy.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Just to be fully prepared for your next update - quick question; Do we flash updated versions directly over the older version, as long as it's the same ROM? Or is it always recommended, no matter what the situation, to reformat to stock and then flash the new version ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
For previous versions, its been fine to install over. This next version, however, should be installed via safestrap, and data should be wiped.
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Are you using the guide provided by hashcode to properly have your updater script set up right for the safestrap?
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
I appreciate the response. Now when you say "data should be wiped", does that necessarily mean we should do a complete reformat of the phone prior to flashing the new version when it's released? The reason I ask is because my idea of flashing a new version of your ROM would include restoring my Nandroid backup of complete stock (literally "right out of the box" backup), then clearing cache, then flashing the new version. Is this a good method?

I'm new to this and so I apologize for the newbie questions. Still learning and trying to be as safe and as informed as possible prior to making any decisions.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
These are the current instructions for safestrap, should answer any questions you have.

1) Start in MotoBlur

2) Remove any bootstraps that you currently have installed.

3) Install Droid3Safestrap.APK

4) Accept the "don't sue me if you brick your phone" jargon

5) Click "Install Recovery"

6) At the bottom of the screen it should have (as of now) 0.92. If not you have the wrong version.

7) Make sure you have the .zip file on your SD card.

8) Reboot into Recovery using Power + M, and choose BP Tools

9) Make a backup. This will actually be backing up your current /preinstall, /data and /cache partitions, as the Safestrap doesn't mess with your original /system.

10) Format /system under "Mounts" menu

11) Install the .zip as per normal.

12) Wipe data/cache

13) Toggle Safe System to ENABLED using the Safe System Menu (near the bottom of the main menu).

14) Reboot into _____.

Yeah, he and I had a talk about it.
[Motorola Droid 3] digitalsynner85:
Can't wait to get this rom tomorrow when I get my phone lol. D3 mod scene here I come lol
