[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Honestly, I'm just jumping in and flashing right now. I installed the safestrap bootloader and tried to do a few backups but could never get it to complete successfully, always screwed up generating the md5, didn't backup pre-install, I think the last partition it backed up was sdcard or sd-ext and came up with an error on the other. Figured as long as restore worked on some of my older backups worked I'll be alright and it worked great. Installed the zip from the sdcard, booted motoblur (stock) no problems, atm cm7 just loops at the dual core screen, don't even get to the reverbing logo unfortunately. I did give it a couple goes to be sure, tried booting cm7 first and wiping etc, I couldn't get to the reverb logo once. Where are the boot logs located? Searching google with the same question atm. Since we can fastboot preinstall though ...

Have you tried re-installing flash and then re-installing youtube?

Hashcode, if you ever need a tester in IRC for the xt860 just let me know.
[Motorola Droid 3] Xenoproctologist:
Actually, Safestrap is backing up /preinstall; it's just says it's backing up /system when it does it. Under Safestrap, /preinstall becomes the new /system directory. Of course, this means that the OEM /system isn't being backed up -- which I'm not exactly thrilled with -- but the end result is a damned sight less dodgey than 2nd-init, so I can live with it (for now).

For the bootloop, try clearing /cache and /data. CM7 is a very different beast from the OEM firmware, and it needs a clean slate to start.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
From the output on the screen it craps out before it gets to preinstall. When I check my nandroid folder there is no preinstall image created, maybe the system.img is really a preinstall.img (there are system/data/cache/sd-ext/boot images created). It's basically mounting preinstall as "/" instead of system. I don't think it does this until you enable safestrap and then boot into it, /system is a physical disk location like /dev/mmcblk1p1 or /dev/sda1 which is more than likely where nandroid is pulling files from so I would assume the label is accurate to the backup. We can flash unsigned anything to preinstall so this seems a lot more safe to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Yes. I actually redownloaded flash and some other ADOBE which probably has nothing to do with video playback or flash but it worked on videos off the internet, etc. Because changing H/W to S/W decoder on Mx Video Player plays videos. It's not youtube. It's just a video decoder in the system.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
That's what I was thinking and why I suggested re-installing flash first to make sure the libraries are there before installing youtube to use them, you should be able to also open videos within your browser from youtube, do they happen to play like that?
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah you can play videos from youtube in the browser just fine! That's my workaround the youtube app.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

If you use the videos app that comes with CM7, videos won't play. I can only play videos off the phone using Mx Video Player with the Mx player codec installed.
[Motorola Droid 3] niko99:
Yes i try use *#*#2468#*#* but dont work, like i sad before i flash only radio.img from xt883, something its better because i dont got FC on CM7 but gsm still dont work.. i must check maybe radio from xt860 will be work or somebody already checked this?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dan9I:
Please include GSM in next build!

It's best rom, and I want to use it.

CDMA is not available in my country: (
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
New build tonight? ;P

I want to get off this blur! lol
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
I think this build is vzw cdma friendly only anyway...in mobile networks when u try to select affiliated networks it won't do it...so roaming doesn't work
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
That's odd. If you can play videos in the browser the codec must be working. Just for the sake of messing around I've attached the stock YouTube.apk if you want to try it out.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Just downloaded your youtube apk & installed and same results. Just audio. Its great for music videos but just audio works. Not video.

& I also notice when your volume is super low (music, alarm, etc), a reboot puts it back to normal. Its usually happens after I get off the phone or something

[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The main issue with the 2nd build is that I used about 4 shared audio libraries straight from the phone, which seemed ok when I was first playtesting. In reality the phone just doesn't work the way it should with those files.

Right now, I'm gutting the audio libraries which were pulled from the phone and replacing them with source built counterparts. This makes for slow going while I run tests, download crash traces, make adjustments and then run more tests.

In many ways the source I'm using isn't field tested like some of the core components of CM. Active ROMs with ALSA audio built from source on an OMAP4 phone are literally non-existent atm.

Just know that the end result should be a very stable 3rd build with regard to the audio system / codecs and media player.
[Motorola Droid 3] Xenoproctologist:
I just untarred my /system backup to verify; it is, in fact, /preinstall.

/system isn't actually a concrete location. It's a symlink to one of the numbered block device partitions. Safestrap can redefine it at will.
[Motorola Droid 3] sic4672:
It's people like you that renew my faith in XDA. Thank you for all of your hardwork and overall pleasent demeanor.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I've read about troubles with the audio on Hash's blog and he's touched on the issue a few times here as well iirc. I'm not sure what to tell you on the audio but no video. Imo it's a codec (flash problem), the browser is picking up the plugin but the youtube app is not and that's where I would be focusing my trouble shooting, I used to get this problem all the time when the kind folks at xda here were porting android to the touch diamond. I would expect the same here, Hashcode is doing a truly amazing job here with first his bootstrap mods and now a super quick release on cm7, the rom's only alpha at the moment, I'm sure when a new build is posted and Hashcode signs off the audio/volume problems you'll see a solution to your problem with youtube.
[Motorola Droid 3] niko99:
Hashcode - there is some little chance to got working GSM in next build ? and in future use a radio from xt883 ?:)
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
From what I understand, this ROM is designed to be flashed via Hash's Safestrap recovery, not Bootstrap. I may be mistaken, but the Safestrap download page has specific flashing instructions, and worked like a charm for me. The download link is in the OP, check it out! :)

[Motorola Droid 3] nikeusfr:
Before i've a milestone/doid 1, and the cyanogenmod is "excellent", i try this rom, on my D3 and.....

*#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, to access the phone information, for change the band to gsm, but the com.android.phone bug and stop the function phone information. Any idea about this ?

With the liberty rom, i'haven't this problem, and the source is of cyanogen too. But i prefer a real cyanogen (for the french language and the multiple option).

Best Regard
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
If you can sbf your phone back to stock there's no harm done at all, might as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
If it works like on d2g, you shlould switch to umts, place the phone in airplane mode, reboot in recovery, wipe cache and fix permissions, reboot and enable the radio again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I haven't touched the UMTS side at all on this build. And, all of the boot settings are set to CDMA, so as far as I know.. there won't be a way to swap to UMTS mode (yet). :/

I do have the D2WE sources to look at and see how they enabled the UMTS functions, but I'm fixing the audio system and codecs first.

Also, RE: nikeusfr and Liberty working in GSM mode.

Liberty is a great ROM and I'm not bashing it at all when I say: Only the apps and portions of the framework are compiled from CM sources. Underneath them, the rest of the OS is essentially MotoBlur from the stock phone. And that might explain why the stock functions of the phone are kept intact.

For my CM7 build, it's running the 2.3.7 framework and system binaries with an ever decreasing # of proprietary files being pulled from the phone. (In a perfect world, there would be none pulled from the phone).

GSM is something that will definitely get some love in the future. As well as doing some XT860 radio testing and possibly the XT883.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Umts is still far from perfect on GB Cyanogen D2g, the phone works with some tricks and/or fc when switching from cdma, but works.

BTW doesn't read the MCC/MNC codes from the SIM card, so is not possible to set the APN, so no data yet.

I hope you can steal some time from the current work to look to the 883 rom loader.

As the verizon rom is not a viable option because the incorrect signal reading in gsm, and testing the cyanogen becomes hideous because all the step needed to switch from XT883 to it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
What radio technology is the XT883 phone using?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
It's a droid 3 (global) but, unlike the verizon rom, has not the problem of the incorrect gsm signal level (and a nicer dialer with recording features, a call filter program and so on).

The rom is flashable safely in the american D3, but wipes the data, so a titanium backup is needed to avoid waste of time.

(Going back to the verizon rom wipes the data too)

For the record the incorrect signal level is present in all the verizon ROMs, for D3 and D2g (a total of five ROMs) so is not a bug is a wanted "feature".

And is not due to the radio. In the D2g the same radio with the cyanogen userland doesn't have the problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Thanks for the info. I'll try my best to include support for all 3 of the Droid 3 devices in all modes eventually.
[Motorola Droid 3] nikeusfr:
Thanks the solutor, but this doesn't work on d3 ;-(

i'm totally agree with, and the xt883 rom specially radio/base band/dialer is all right

I will say you Atrix guys had it pretty rough tho, as the Atrix broke a lot of new CM7 ground since Feb.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I am itching to run this but trying to remain patient for the official, stable release. I've learned a lot by tinkering and recovering from my mistakes but eventually my luck will run out and I'll be stuck with a really cool brick.

Thank you for the continued development of this ROM. I (more or less) patiently await the final product.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Doing a Safestrap system backup just in case I have a moment of weakness but its resulting with an MD5 generation error. How is this corrected or is everyone moving forward regardless? Is this wise?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The md5sum is a bug in CWRecovery 5.0.2.3. It's fixed in the new version. You can safely ignore it.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
Same thing happened to me. I just continued. When CM7 bootlooped(audio related), I tried restoring the backup, as per the instructions, and it worked great. Took me right back to blur with no issues.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Was stuck on the Cyanogenmod splash screen. Scared me for a moment, then I recalled I had dual boot capability along with backups. Cool! Gotta charge up and have another go at it later. As a side effect I get to experience Monster as the dev intended it for a bit - without all my changes...
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Eh screw it. I sat at the wall outlet and followed along step by step. Happy to report I'm up and running. Can this build run any camera apps or are they all using the same problematic core files?
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
The latter.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Is it possible to pull my contacts list from the Safestrap backup? That's the one thing I'm missing and Ti refuses to restore the data from an older backup.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
There is no way to change between CDMA and GSM right now. I somehow got my phone stuck in GSM mode and I don't know how and had to flash another ROM. Nice work Hash though for being alpha!
[Motorola Droid 3] mothman57:
Does this ROM delete all your data and apps when flashing it?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
During the flashing process, you're usually going to wipe both data and cache, so yes, you'll lose the free apps and related app data after a flash, but if you use TiBu to backup apps and app data, you can restore all of that pretty easily. It takes about 10 minutes (depending on how many apps you have), but it's well worth it. :)

Agreed, looking forward to the next update and using this one as my daily.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Sorry for the wait on the next update.

But here's a summary of what I'm working on:

- I fixed the syslink/tiler errors so that the Ducati memory management is now up and running correctly (this affects almost all of the codecs for audio/video).

- Still working on ALSA audio issues with crashing / and DSP errors.

For Safestrap 1.0 I'm making a few more tweaks so that users can't "do things in the wrong order"

- Like flash a .zip to 2nd-system, and then toggle Safe System on which triggers a reload of your old 2nd-system partitions (over-writing the new flash).

- I merged Koush's 5.0.2.7 CWRecovery changes into the Recovery base.

- And I made some more tweaks to how Safestrap works with ROMs not specifically made for it.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Yee.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
By what I've taken in so far safestrap will automatically make a backup everytime u toggle it on? If so Where will it store it...because I don't have space on my sd....its only 2 gigs :(

Sent from my DROID3 via magic
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
It will actually only keep 1 set of files that are re-written each time you swap systems. So 2GIG free should be enough. The new .tar method in CWRecovery (which is the base for the Safestrap recovery) is quite space efficient compared to writing img's of the partitions.

Also, I'm considering putting the cached system/data files on the internal SD space that no one ever uses.

I am sure that many of you are watching iPhone's 4S new application Siri, your thoughts are "I hope there will be an app like Siri for my phone". Well you hope right.

Iris is the "Sister" of Siri, but for Android. I found the app from a post of one of my friends on Google+. Well, it was on French so I didn't understand a lot of what he was saying. I just saw the title "Iris, Siri pour Android", and then I Googled it.

I found it on Android Market, it's in Alpha version and it's update rate is way too fast. 2 updates in just 30 minutes.

The developer Dexetra seems to work hard for it. You can give it a try. It's FREE. Also leave a comment and rate the app to help the developer on his work.(By supporting him)

Here are some screenshots:

And here the app Description on Android Market:

"iris. makes your phone talk on topics ranging from Einstein to Mozart.

Yeah, Iris is siri in reverse. Inspired from the iPhone feature Siri, iris interacts with you in voice.

Gone are the days when you "Google searched" for information.

Just "ask" iris. She will talk to you on any topic. Ranging from Philosophy, Culture, History, science to general conversation.

Note: You need to have "Voice Search" and "TTS library" installed in your phone for iris. to work. Most of the phones have these pre-installed, if not please install them from Android market before you try iris."

adb shell

2.)Copy nvram.txt from /etc/wl to sdcard

cp /etc/wl/nvram.txt /sdcard/nvram.txt

3.) Using text editor in phone add following line at the end:

macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (replace XX:XX:.... with desired mac addr.)

4.)Save file and copy it to /etc/wl from adb shell

cp /sdcard/nvram.txt /etc/wl/nvram.txt

1.) Tested only in stock LG rome with GNM OC kernel. In other roms or kernel the location of nvram.txt may differ according to the parameter using which driver module (wireless.ko or bcm4325.ko) just find that file and use the above process. It will work.

2.) The file cannot be edited in windows as windows has different new line character than linux. It has to be edited in some linux compactible file editor like Programmers Notepad
