Alright guys, try this patch out.

Flash in recovery like normal:

http://filesmelt.com/dl/_patch.zip

I have not tested this for lack of time, but it should work. I need to leave for the rest of the day, so post results and I'll check back later tonight.
[Motorola Droid 3] Chief916:
looks like a cool build lookin forward to trying it out
[Motorola Droid 3] Rocinante:
This link is broken.. :(

Its the same on your website as well..
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yeah, I noticed that just now while I had a minute to try it out myself. I'll re-up when I get home, but I can't do anything about that right now.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Any ideas on the orientation? Google Maps now rotates perfectly! That's a huge bonus, but the home screens don't seem to turn when connected to the car dock. Its not so much as a problem as it is interesting. The ONLY problem I have is, even when connected to charger, when Maps is open, the screen still powers off. I think that's app related, and truth be told, I have a few "questionable" apps on the phone lol. Just curious. (and your paypal isn't listed on this page nor your website. qu'est-ce que c'est?)
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
That's interesting about the rotation. I'll look into that.

That's odd though about the screen turning off while charging and in maps. My screen gets dimmer, but never shuts off.

And I have a donation link on my website on the main page, and another link below my name in every post on xda.

*EDIT*

Also, apps patch link has been fixed. Try it out, everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] bigrel22:

Nevermind. Got it from the darkdroid site. Just doesnt work in the xda app

Hello, thank you for the great ROM.

When I attempt to connect to my router at home, it will connect fine. However, I can't get any internet connection. is this a known issue? I know the router is working fine because my family members' smart phones and laptops are able to get connectivity fine
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Never heard of that happening before. Did you wipe before installing?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Just fyi thiswont boot on my xt860, hangs after the splash screen. Was able to.boot v0.

98. And before anyone asks yes I wiped data/cache
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
This was made specifically for the xt862, so it working on the other models is just luck.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Theyre all written for the xt862 however I've never had.one fail to boot and I've ran every rom out there atm including previous builds of yours. Could be a bad download maybe? I'll try it again at some point. I just thought it was odd and worth mentioning

Note: I'm running the android 2.3.5 Brazil fastboot found somewhere.in this forum. No roms work on the old bell 2.3.4 and o don't know if they do on the new bell 2.3.6. We have no fastboot for those versions so I've never been able to try
[Motorola Droid 3] jayjl3:
i've fixed the wifi issue.. but now when i install the _patch.zip , the phone won't boot. only black screen.

what does the _patch zip do?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Its supposed to fix a few apps that wont update. I'm just going to go ahead and remove the link for now.
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Im helping dpwhitty get a patch that works right. He should have something for you in the near future to patch the apps that arent updating correctly.

Don't think so. Don't have a global one to test one.
[Motorola Droid 3] inertiaholic:
completely new to droid flashing. i have rooted using Pete's Oneclickroot. then i flashed Droid3CWBootstrap. then i went into cwm to flash darkdroid but on rebooting, it was always stuck at the red logo and the ''droid'' sound then kept looping.

what did i do wrong and how do i reflash?

can someone pls point me to the right thread? or tell me if i connect to rsdlite, what next? thank you very much!

*** edit ***

found this and hope i am on the right track:

Step1, Open the zip with the xml and partitions put them in a folder named XT862

Step 2. Turn your phone on, Hold both Volume buttons while turning on press Vol - until you get to AP Fastboot then press Vol +

Step 3.Plug the phone to your computer by usb while in AP fastboot mode

Step 4. Open RSD lite and select the phone, and the file to flash is inside the XT862 folder you just made, Select the XML file, i believe it will be the only file you can select out of that folder in RSD.

[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Anyone flash a theme over this yet? I just want a blue as appose to red....and I'm itching to flash something lol
[Motorola Droid 3] inertiaholic:
thanks but managed to resolve the problem, but great to know that you are eager to help! :)

btw after trying a few diff roms, i still come back to my fave, YOUR ROM!
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Flashing any kind of theme will work just fine.

I kinda like the red though :P

QUESTION FOR ALL:

If I had the option to add reboot and screenshot to the power button menu, but could only have it as an add-on that HAS to be flashed AFTER booting for the first time, would y'all still want to have that?
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
dpwhitty11 you making a new rom? or this is it for your rom? and as far as your other question im running your rom all i got to do is boot into recovery flash the file in install zip and boot up and ill will be good?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
It's for this rom.

Me and another guy (though really mainly him) have been trying to integrate the power control stuff into the same flashable .zip, but we keep getting recompiling errors and we're basically at a roadblock.

But yes, you would just download it and install/flash through recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZOMBI3:
Thatd be sweet i think

[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
i ment are you maing a new rom like 2.0 or 1.10 not just small intergration..

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 AM ----------

also another question not tryin to be rude but have you tried anyone elses rom like mav or steel droid how would you compare yours to theirs...what makes your stand out why would you recommend yours over others minus it is your rom....just curious...
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Oh I see. Probably just a 1.1, seeing as how this is something to do after the initial flash (the version that's out now). I can't remember if I've changed anything else in the meat of the rom though, so I'll update that too with whatever I have in my build folder.

And honestly no, I haven't really tried out many other roms. I've gone to CM9 a couple times, but only to see how things were coming along and I always revert back to what I had within an hour.
[Motorola Droid 3] trini.s2k:
yeah i understand what you saying , you should try out some others see what improvements they have that you can utilize or switch up and make it more original to your rom.....we appreciate your hard work and for it being your first rom its very nice...if youd like i can flash up your rom right now an run it an give you my opinion on what you can do next..if you want ...if not its fine i have almost all the roms on my sd so far that i like...cm9 is def one worth waiting for i havent flashed it after a5 though that was the best stable for me i had no problems like other were having i need a camera though...curious question would u b thinkin about basin a updated version of your rom to a new base like .902 or .905
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Update!

Now has a patch (that MUST be flashed AFTER you have booted DarkDroid for the first time) that adds in power menu buttons for screenshot, reboot, and reboot recovery (the latter of which does not work at the moment).

It also has a better camera app than before, and some buildprop changes.

Make sure to download both the DarkDroid 1.1 .zip and the power button add-on .zip.

Links are live on my site.

Also, just throwing this out there. I am in need of around $75. If you like my work, feel free to donate! I'm not asking for everyone to throw a couple bucks my way, but any donations are greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Droid 3] SolShade:
What can you tell us about the new Camera app?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
It's no longer the Atrix camera app that I had in here before, but the D3 camera app. It starts up faster, focuses faster, and doesn't have the blue tint.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
I'm so diggin that option for screenshot. MavRom has the same one. I used it once for the 1 day I had it =P

The only camera app I've fonud that works really well with the D3 is the Camera Zoom Fx. Its the fastest I've seen.

As always...this ROM ranks above the rest!
[Motorola Droid 3] tlpalmer01:
very nice rom...i can give a few when i get paid....is there a way for my voicemail icon to come back..i use verizon visual i cant instal without that icon..thank u..

i cant believe how fast this .....dammmmm.....
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
can i install it without Safetrap ???

with (CWM) so i have it as my main rom non safe ????

because im playing with hash CM9 in the safe side

i ask so i avoid one SBFing more, as had one yesterday (unrelated with stock rom and no strap).
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
If you do everything correctly you can..but if you instal safe strap 1.08d (a couple threads down I think) it let's you flash roms to the non safe as well so you don't have to keep switching between safe strap and cwm :-)

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yeah, you can do that and it'll work fine.

*EDIT*

Do what the above guy said^^^

Gimme about an hour and i'll pm you a way to get that back. And thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Backup first. I think there is an issue where it will still install to safe mode unless you edit the updater script to flash /systemorig. Check the thread
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Does this one works on the XT860?

Liberty v3.0
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:

[Motorola Droid 3] tlpalmer01:
you have breathed life into my droid 3.....i just cant get over how sweet this rom is...i hadnt flashed since original droid and im so glad i did....i love the red themed through out, it is very fast and quick...no lag...it is awesome.....
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
It actually might. I got a pm the other day asking the same question, and the guy who messages me mentioned some 3G patch to flash afterwards that got data working.

Feel free to try it out, and if you do, be sure to let me know how it goes.

Also, just a little heads up, turns out a link of mine died, so at the moment I am uploading everything to Mediafire. Thanks to Baylor's slow as molasses internet, it might take a little bit for the links to be restored. Standby for at most an hour.

*EDIT*

Links are back up and running.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Yes it does just make sure to replace build.prop and libmoto_ril.so inorder to get data
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Could you send me or post links to wherever these files are so I can offer them up on my site and the OP? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
I don't know if this libmoto works for non-bell users (but I am using it on my Bell XT860 that is running stock Mexico radio):

Here is a zip that has the Bell libmoto file and a modified DarkDroid 1.1's build.prop.

The only build.prop mod I know of is the one that fixes the signal bar indicator (it was in a recent post in the forum), so that is what I changed in the below build.prop.

The change to the build.prop is just one line.. it is:

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

changed to:

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0

File is here:

https://rapidshare.com/files/792251641/bell--libmoto_ril--and-signal-fix--for-darkdroid1.1.zip

Hope this is OK
[Motorola Droid 3] fl4r3:
This is quite smooth compared to the others...just come from eclipse.

I know some of you love the red theme but its not really my cup of tea. I checked the posts in this thread and apparently Bionic themes should work but I seem to be getting bootloops.

Anyone know what I should be looking for specifically or what I'm doing wrong? Tried a few but no luck. Really want the GB-X theme here to work;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1491373

Tried wiping cache and dalvik cache after applying but still no go.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I think the issue with bionic themes is the framework-res.ask. try flashing everything but that then use metamorph or somethingsimilar to manually change that
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Download is broken for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
dpwhitty: I will try to attach it... it's small. Sorry ... not sure whats up with rapidshare

(to anyone passing through and seeing this... this isn't a flashable patch or anything.. its just the files that dpwhitty was asking about)

Also... users may have to know that they should add their own APN's after making these changes (to get data and MMS)
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
I'm trying it right now. The guy who asked was me =P

The thing is booting as I speak. Just flashed the ROM, reboot menu + ICS data fix, it has the same files as your zip. Let's see what happens

edit:

I was flashing it with the Safestrap Tweaked version, but it doesn't seem like it was flashed. Tried 2 times, the same system as before (I'm flashing over unsafe system). The fw version didn't change, so I'm assuming:

Either it is flashing on the safe side, or

It's not flashing anything.

Going back to Safe System to check if the first hypothesis is the correct

edit2:

Flashed over the safe system. Glad I have a nandroid =D

edit3: Seems very nice, but the red theme doesn't suits me. But the rom is incredibly responsive.

How can I theme it?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
With the UOT Kitchen, here:

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

At the end, under file upload, upload the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk used in DarkDroid.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
For some reason, it's themeing in the wrong way. The red text doesn't come out, the notification buttons doesn't change either =/
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
The text color is done in an .xml, and it doesn't know how to do the notification images. For those, you have to tear it open and do yourself :/
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
I see. Where is that XML file? =P
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Haha not a clue, buckmarble helped me with that.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Gonna test with the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from another ROM to see if changes the colors. Found a topic here on XDA showing how to change colors, it's probably it, but I need to decompile apk's, and I'm very tired now to learn how to do it =P

Wish me luck!

edit: Framework and SystemUI from MavROM worked like a charm =]
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Decompile framework-res.apk and the text colors are in res/values/colors.xml

Loving dark droid 1.1 on my XT860

but USB Mass Storage mode doesn't seem to work. Any other XT860 users out there and had this same problem?
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Got it =]

Working without problems here. Check your drivers and cables.

M3 XT860

DarkDroid 1.1 (Unsafe) + Hash's ICS Beta 1 (Safe)
[Motorola Droid 3] tlpalmer01:
no problems here....
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Can you help me with that? I've not decompiled an xml file or anything like that before. Tho, I have minimal programming skills. Did you just change the color? I really want mine to be blue. I just want it be somewhat simple.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
So after decompiling framework-res.apk and opening the xml file and finding the lovely hex code. I realized that "hey! I HATE hex!" not to mention that the hex code doesn't seem to be like a normal hex code. Too many characters it seems. IDK...its not my strong suit...8 years in IT and I still don't know binary =P

But after re reading some posts...I just flashed the framework/systemui apks from steel droid. :) Got my blue!! I'm not crazy about the icons...but I do like the blue lantern power ring look.

Gotta love Dark Droid!!! (Dark Blue Droid!!!)

but....now holding the power button no longer allows me to take screenshots. It reboots the phone. /sigh back to the drawing board
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
That's because those mods are built into framework-res.apk, and when you swap it out, it breaks.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
I figured, so I used the flashable for my function. The result? 1 Red icon in the blue schema lol. This is rather fun tho. I'm such a nerd!
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
I didn't strip it, just replaced it with the framework and systemui from mavrom

M3 XT860

DarkDroid 1.1 (Unsafe) + Hash's ICS Beta 1 (Safe)
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Yeah, I tried that from Mav and it didn't work. I then did the SD files and that didn't work. Then I realized I had to set the permissions. After a few hours and long reboots. I flashed SSD framework and systemui, I then used Rom ToolBox to save the icons. Installed the Dark Droid flashable, and then used Rom ToolBox to restore my icons. I'm happy with it. The only noticeable differnce is when charging, it displays the DD red glowing circle, then the SD blue animated %. I'm sure I could fuddle around and figure it out, but I'm pretty happy. My next step is parsing those XML files and playing with the hex colors. I may just take the color parts from SD or Mav and add them to DD and recompile the apks. Thats more of an off day type of work tho. But the thought is quite inviting.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Seems very cool. When you finish with your files, could you upload them?

M3 XT860

DarkDroid 1.1 (Unsafe) + Hash's ICS Beta 1 (Safe)
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
Here you go!

Also a screenshot of the icons I have now. It was pretty simple with the Icon Changer in the Rom Toolbox. I bit the bullet and bought it.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
A little word on progress:

I'm working to merge the power menu directly into the rom, and I'm also adding a few more little tweaks (trying to figure out how to enable the led by the charging port when charging, and also fixing the battery charge animation). I'm stumped though, it works perfectly. Then I press the power button and get endless bootloops. So that's what I'm working on at the moment.

'Tis fun to make progress :3
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
This rom is great. I don't see how it could get much better.

There's another version of blurhome2.apk which is said to fix the dock rotation issue. I've not tried it out yet. Maybe tomorrow...might be worth adding. Its in droid 3 general. Oh...add that dlna apk. That would make this rom perfect. And the record has been set straight...this is the fastest rom for droid 3. Now if only Vzw would buy it off you lol
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Its not in blurhome2, you can remove it and put something like adw in its place and it still happens. Its somewhere in framework-res.apk or services.jar.

DLNA is in /system/app/, I just changed the file extensions to .apk.bak just for this reason ;) remove the .bak to have it back again.
[Motorola Droid 3] SketchyStunts:

[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I feel this is the final version of DarkDroid in its current state. If a stable version of ICS is out before I get a new phone (the new Incredible) this summer, I'll be updating this to ICS.

Just saiyan.

So, it's a waiting game until mid July.

:cool:
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
ICS is already pretty stable!
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I like having a working camera, so until that comes, I for one am staying off of it.

I had Gummy running for about a week, but couldn't stand not having a fully working camera. And I was unable to interact with flash/javascript things in the browser. Other than that, I would say it's (nearly) as stable as Gingerbread.

Hello,

On xt860 canadian I did the OTA to 2.3.6.

then: safestrap, backup, enabled safe, double formatted/wiped cache, (also tried) formatted system, installed darkdroid 1.1 zip, rebooted.

It loads but

- invalid sim

- no mobile internet: apns cannot be added/saved/work

I also tried Liberty, same issues :(
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Ask once. You have bumped 2 old topics just to ask this.

Basically:

Reboot

Install Data fix (latest if possible)

Reboot

Either keep waiting, do a battery pull, or try the installation process again and see if anything new happens.
[Motorola Droid 3] Waiet:
I actually tried all the above mentioned before U posted and it was pretty much the same.

Doesn't really matter, I'm gonna send the device back to the seller, 'cause of slightly broken sliding mechanism :( and I really can't be bothered to get another one. (It was a strike of luck to find one in the middle Europe, damn U, Motorola...)

THX, anyway
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I regret to inform everyone that I am no longer offering support for this rom. I no longer own nor have a Droid 3, so I can no longer build.

I really can't wait for the DInc4G, it's going to blow everything else out of the water (until Verizon gets a GSIII variant). I have my upgrade waiting...

So with the DInc4G still yet to be announced, I went and preorded the GSIII. The more I think about it, the better the GSIII looks, especially compared to the DInc4G.
