I dont see anything for a gapp zip on the download page

Edit: I think I got the right one now. Could flashing these google apps fix the issue with me not being able to sign into my Gmail so I can use the market and stuff?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Yep. Gmail is part of the GApps suite.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Actually using any "media" based app w/ a volume trigger will restore the volume.

And, it might be just me, but I'm fairly sure the volume drops after phone calls, in which case I can probably fix that in a future build.
[Motorola Droid 3] wgoeken:
No, I have never had any other bootstrap installed.

And like I said, flashing an SBF isn't going to change anything; I have ZERO problems with my original rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
I got the gapps installed but when I boot up I get constant 6 force closes of blur stuff and haven't figured out y. Nothing's frozen, data and cash is wiped, installed both gapp and cm7 zip but I'm not sure what's causing the force closing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I would definately try the flash again, and use the "mounts & storage" -> "format /system" function first before applying the .zip files.

There shouldn't be any blur files in the CM7 build.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Hello! I just updated the build to support the Droid3Bootstrap which seems to be compatible with all Droid 3 hardware. If you'd like to give it a go:

- Make sure to click "Remove Recovery" from the Safestrap App.

- Uninstall the Safestrap APK

- Install the Droid3Bootstrap apk from Koush's website or the Market.

- Make sure to click "Bootstrap Recovery"

- Reboot into recovery and install the .zip file from the latest build.

NOTE: I am not dropping support for Safestrap. I'm just making the CM7 build available to all users of the Droid3 hardware. As, some of them are not compatible with Safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 3] wgoeken:
I will give the Droid3Bootstrap a try. Thanks a ton.

Will certainly report back with results.

**

I used the "Remove Recovery" feature from the Safestrap App.

I uninstalled the Safestrap APK.

I installed the Droid3Bootstrap APK.

I used the "Bootstrap Recovery" feature.

I used the "Reboot Recovery" feature.

I did a data/cache wipe

I installed CM7

I installed GApps

I rebooted.

It took it quite some time to reboot; when it finally did, I was greeted with the original MotoBlur Android Rom, post factory reset, with numerous FCs; I can't get past the part where it lets you set up additional accounts. Looks like my only option is to flash an SBF, re-root my device, then start the whole process over again. It's going to be a long night.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

I am about to shoot my phone with my AR-15.

I honestly have no clue why it hates me so much.

**

Success.

Flash to factory from fastboot.

Program phone, get to file explorer, install Boostrap, Get to recovery, factory reset, install CM7.

Houston, we have liftoff.

**

It was all a sick joke from my phone (the success part, anyhow).

(I'm about tired of editing this post)

After *successfully* installing CM7, upon my first reboot, my phone decided to be stuck at the red M logo.

I have re-flashed the phone from the fastboot menu, and am booting back into the Moto rom again. I suppose I'll give this a second try. If it doesn't work right this time, I'm factory resetting the phone and marching to Verizon when they open in four hours. Will update again to let you know if I get it working.

Thanks for the help you've offered so far, Hashcode.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Get back to us. Best of luck to you and i hope your phone works soon!
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Carrying on my obsession with GSM service in this ROM, the changelog used to have an entry relating to a *#*#INFO#*#* GSM workaround, but it's gone from the log now.

If you launch the lastest build (11-16) and type *#*#info#*#* into the dialer, you can see a host of new options on the phone info screen for selecting default network.

Sadly they don't work for me, so it's back to horrible moto-land until the next build raises my hopes again.
[Motorola Droid 3] LifeInAnalog:
Is it safe to assume that your "tweaked" bootstrap is good to use as well? Or should we flip over to the basic one?
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Good news my adobe flash problem went away with the update....fluke problem I guess
[Motorola Droid 3] brocktice:
HDMI Mirroring?

Is it possible to use HDMI mirroring with this CM7? Do I need to port some stuff from Blur?
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Make sure you wipe /system before installing cm7 as the installer don't seem to do this before it installs.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
So I got everything to work but now I can't pull 3g only 1x I've done *228 option one and two but so far nothing. I've tried rebooting as well but to no avail. Any suggestions how to get 3g pulling again?
[Motorola Droid 3] pgzerwer:
Hey, this ROM suddenly shows up as one available for download via ROM Manager!! Can we really finally use ROM Manager on the D3? It has your logo on it Hashcode, can I assume it will work from ROM Manager?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Yep, CM7 is now in RomManager :)

@brocktice: No HDMI mirroring yet.

@tacosrdelicioso: Not a fluke at all, I've been working on the overlay / OMX issues for the past week and a half. You should also notice that the YouTube app supports rotating the screen now as well.

@thingonaspring: I reverted all of the phone changes as they results in loss of SIM card settings. I'm working on a new path for GSM support. Sorry to disappoint. DO NOT USE *#*#info#*#* it will currently put you in a FC loop and put your phone into an unusable GSM state.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Have you considered joining the Cyanogenmod team?

Join in as the Droid 3 support/coder as well as lending a hand with the Bionic....

I'm sure cvpcs wouldn't mind an extra person on the Motorola support side....
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
@prsterero: Not sure what's causing that. You're on XT862 (Verizon)? And did you wipe /system before applying? And worst case: wipe data/cache.

@tcrews: I don't really need to be "officially" part of CyanogenMod team to be fully supported. The IRC channel has been very helpful regardless of "official" status.

Re Bionic Build: I'm helping with the Bionic as much as I can. Good chance they'll be seeing BionicBootstrap / RomManager support as well as all of the overlay / OMX changes.

FUTURE NOTE: All builds from now on will not automatically wipe /system. This will help you keep your CM7 data from nightly to nightly and not force you to reinstall gapps w/ each build.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Finally I jumped in for Cm7 after all reading and research on safestrap.

BEST AND MOST BEAUFIFUL ROM I have ever seen so far.

I am going to stick with the safestrap. If I can get ota updates keeping this Tom, why switch back.

Thanks a lot.

Btw, I do not see Mobile hot spot app for hacked wireless tethering. Do we have a replacement?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The built-in CM hot spot toggle (from settings) requires a new kernel module be built. Use "barnacle" from the market for now or something like that (a software hot spot).

FYI: I don't have the radio hack for tethering and I was still able to use barnacle w/o issue.

And thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Well as in official I meant having your code merged with theirs, getting setup on their build.bot system to run nightlies and having the benefit of concentrating mostly on Droid 3 (maybe Bionic as well) upkeep/changes and less on the rest of the system. Getting a dedicated Droid 3 forum section on their website, etc....

It's how quite a few devices got pulled in to their list...someone else forked/pulled the CM code tree and used their own device repositories and eventually became part of CM.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Turns out I have to be on cdma/EvDo I can't just be on cdma only. Is the evdo the global mode? And if it is wont that cause extra battery drain?
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
I notice that the battery seems to be draining. How about yours. I switched my setting to Cdma only.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
On cdma only I can't pull 3g so I'm on cdma/evdo.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Does cdma/evdo cause battery drainig?
[Motorola Droid 3] duffman452001:
That is the one thing that was keeping me from diving into CM. Tonight I'm going to CM7 my Droid 3, and finally experience a custom rom
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Is Vzw able to see that we are tethering while using market apps?
[Motorola Droid 3] niko99:
I do little mod in Hashcode ver. to run gsm,

country of test poland :)

http://speedy.sh/wxU47/CyanogenMod7-GSM-niko99-a.zip

- good signal

- G / E / 3G / H working great

- not needed google aps to be install

- and few little mod by me

I aslo try some camera apk from market and simply camera 360 working, but

its not correct fit to screen but

its is not my work, i only change some things, if someone wants to try out please welcome ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
thanks! I would try it out but wish to wait for CM7 to be more stable/final
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
I'm not sure since I can't test each one (the cdma only wont pull 3g at all) so there's really no choice but to use cdma/evdo
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
I don't notice any drain at all.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Thanks!

Can you let me know what is your mobile networks setting is? I'd appreciate it.

I am trying to figure out what is causing battery drain with mine. Otherwise, this is a wonderful rom with safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Cdma/evdo
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Interesting thing about this build is the lockscreen unlock transition animation (the fade) went away haha
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I'll check it out. On a side note, I am working better support for network switching, etc.

And there's a good chance that "software"-based Camera's will work on the current build.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Sometimes if you let Google sync back down apps to your phone for the CM7 build it will cause some battery drain (for an unknown reason). Also check alogcat and you might see something that jumps out as "not right".. etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I should clarify: I will do my best to get code merged and official support for CM (esp. going into CM9). But, I also realize that I'm implementing some things in ways that they don't necessarily agree with from a mass support stand point. From my end, they're the best way to get CM7 running on the hardware, so it's a difference of opinion at this point.

I'll probably go back after the build is fully functional and clean stuff up as best I can to get it merged.

BTW: Great post on droidforums.net about how it is devving for Android. <3 tcrews
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
@Hashcode

Bravo man! Flash is working! Video displays correctly! Camera app from market!

Woot woot! Lovin it!

Thank you!

*Dsp still fc tho but no biggie
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
I removed autosync and will see what happens.

Could you elaborate a little bit on "alogcat"? I am not familiar with that. But i want to check it if it helps battery life.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Just installed rom manager, will this make it easier to update cm7 as it comes out? Because it says I need to install cwm which I already have via safestrap so would installing it through rom manager overwrite my backups and cause any problems? Also how do I get video to display correctly? Software cameras work but display funky
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
For people who r curious about battery life, I've lasted 1 hour and 10 mins now I'm down to 89% with wifi only on (no Bluetooth, data, GPS etc) browsed xda, did some my yearbook surfing, listened to about 10 songs, made a 3 min phone call and sent about 6 texts.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Safestrap is not compatible with Rom Manager. Use the Droid3Bootstrap if you are using ROM Manager. Also Hashcode's CM7 listed in ROM Manger is NOT compatible with Safestrap, it is designed for Droid3Bootstrap.

Rom Manager is not a recovery, it is just a GUI interface to Clockworkmod Recovery. You touch the options (backup, restore, whatever) and then it reboots the device into Clockworkmod Recovery and performs those actions.

Well it also allows you to easily find/download/install ROMs as well (if pushed to ROM Manager).
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
The one thing I would like to see added to this is the 1% battery indicator. That would cover all the bases in my eyes but I understand that's not for everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@niko99

I tested your GSM mod on my UK vodafone/T-mobile sim today, but couldn't get a signal.

Can you describe what you changed in the ROM so I can investigate further?
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Isn't the 1% in cm settings?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Is it? For the notification/status bar?
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
So I would need to uninstall the safestrap, install recovery from rom manager, install bootstrap, and install cm7 again? I already have cm7 installed from safestrap. So if I install it from rom manager will I need to do a wipe again?
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Settings-cm settings-interface-status bar tweaks-battery status style
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
That seems a bit high for drain. Did you see anything in your logcat or battery report which might suggest what's causing the drain?

For me, I easily see 16+ hours with moderate usage.

That being said, the build is still an engineering build whcih means aboti 10x more logging with debug binaries. So, there no telling what a user-release would be like.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
I looked at logcat in the market but not sure what I'm looking for exactly, nothing unusual in the battery stats just the normal 42% display, rest r 15% and under for the rest of the items.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
How do you access logcat?
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Its an app from the market but I don't understand it lol
[Motorola Droid 3] na2rboy:
Was having a weird bug where I couldn't place a call, but I could receive them. Also, I had a contact shortcut on my homescreen that kept disappearing (icon would go to a generic one). I ran an app called number fixer and removed the "+1-" from all the numbers, and it seems to be working now. Hope it works. Wondering if these two things have anything to do with the phone process force closing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
I also concur. I fell asleep last night with the intentions to install the bootstrap compatible version but I was so tired I forgot to charge the phone & it's been running on battery for 21 hours. i woke up to 40%. And it's still going now.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

It's already been addressed but for easy access, here's a camera apk for the current CM build.

Camera 360 Apk
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Hey hashcode, about the battery drain, when I started up, Google restored some of my apps for me, do u think this could be the cause of that drain I told about earlier? If so, could uninstalling them then re installing them fresh from the market fix that? I also installed juice defender earlier to turn off all data when screen is locked and also froze some system apps that came with cm7 cause I had no use for them. With that info, any ideas for battery? Or if someone else can answer this that will work too :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
I hate it when Google re-downloads my apps from me after a fresh install. I usually cancel them all and just restore the apps I want from TiBu but not restoring data. Google's restoration does contribute to battery drain. Freezing apps will work as well it's not as necessary as it was with Blur. Juice Defender is your #1 solution though. Turning off data while phone is off saves your battery tremendously.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
So should I uninstall all my apps that it restored and re download them? Could that fix it? Before I was getting a little over and hour to drain 11% but I was told that's a drain. (Only had wifi on with browsing xda myyearbook, texts, and a short phone call.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Potentially. If you let google sync your apps back to your phone, it WILL cause battery drain. Try cancelling them and select the ones you want to download individually. Keep in mind, you will have higher "display" stats in your battery use.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Ya the displays high cause its one of the few things running right? And alright ill un install everything right now and download it from the market. Is that correct?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Can someone point me to the LED controls? I do not want it on while charging. I've changed it before but now I can't find it.

Edit: I found the LED Notification section where I though it was, but I'm still not seeing it.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Only thing I can find is settings cm settings interface led notifications.

Not finding where to turn off the charging led
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I'd rather only use it as a message notification and I worry about the lifespan of the LED if its on 12 hours a day. Still, maybe it shuts off when fully charged...
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
It only stays constantly on while on the charger to tell u approximate charge then when u unplug it it goes off till u get a notification
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
If you could add this to the tracker for me, that would be great:

http://www.hash-of-codes.com/tracker

I'll have to dig into the MotoUsb code to figure out how to change it so that it's not so LED intensive.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Here's something worth mentioning

I'm at midnight madness for the high school basketball team I coach and I wanted to see if I could record some stuff. I restored Camcorder apk from tibu. And it starts up great. The picture quality is super HD. Crazy. But camera apk fc's on record. =/ but very promising!

When i install orginal Hascode version and use gsm_fix.zip

i have signal but no g/e/3g/h data and wifi is dont work

I mixed build.prop orginal with buid.prop from version of cm7 what i have on milestone (first droid UE version)

and i change libmoto_ril.so in hashcode CM7 with libmoto_ril.so what is in gsm_fix.zip (only this one file)

ps. I'm afraid of the reason for which this version does not work and it was 3-4 at night and I forgot about something important :(

that's all what i do around GSM, i aslo change launcher, icons in settings for green, now i use a pudding camera apk and works great.

so i dont know now why its not working for others :/ but working for me great :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] jayklx:
I think these bugs have not influence our experience.

the only thing important is the camera not working perfect.

we are expect for ICS running on D3, with CM7, usable is enough for me, and I uses it daily.

A person's energy is limited, I think you may pay more attention to ICS, and only do some necessary patch for current CM7, so we can get it sooner.

Is there anybody agree with me?

just sorry for my english....

PS2. now some users from our polish forum sed if they instal it like below its working

1. instal Hascode version do a restar and waiting if all will load

2. restart phone and go intro recovery and instal gsm fix

3. do a restart and wait for all will load

4. do a restart and go intro recovery and instal my gsm mod

now must working
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
Camera fx from the market is the best option for a camera right now on this build works good
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
The latest release fixes that.

That's solely up to you. I personally like safestrap so I didn't use rom manager or bootstrap. So idk if you have to wipe everything if you use rom manager

Is there anything in the build.prop that I can do for battery increase? Haha. I did the delete apps that Google restored and re downloaded them but while using my phone the battery still seems to drain a tad quickly. Though juice defender does help a ton, its only effective with the screen off and all. Also does the newer cm7 release have anything that helps the battery or was it just an update for fixing video and rom manager compatibility?
