if battery life is important to you there are several settings you should do automatically on your phone. the stock ones definitely will not help at all.

definitely change to CDMA only mode (or remove your SIM card), connect to wifi when available (i have push everything except for twitter and still get great battery life) and use Juice Defender if you can using settings tuned to your style of using the phone. I even turned off automatic brightness and turned the screen brightness all the way down and have yet to struggle to see the screen...dont know how much battery that saves but sure it helps a little. also minimizing your widgets/homescreens will both increase performance and decrease background processes (i only have 3 screens).

i really want to know what you guys do when you say 'minimal use' what does that mean exactly? i assume minimal is below regular, and (to me) that is definitely not screen on 50% of the time.
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Mine is showing pretty high cell standby and phone idle also but my battery usage is relatively the same. I try not to even look at that damn screen when running a non stock rom cause it tends to not be very accurate.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
I have my brightness set to the minimum, I have juice defender running, CDMA only is always set on my Droid. Minimal usage for me is probably 50 - 100 texts a day, checking facebook a few times, and maybe doing a few internet searches. Back on SteelDroid 3.0, I could have my phone running for maybe a day and a half before it started alerting me that the battery was really low (I have an extended 1930mAh battery) Now that I installed Liberty, I have everything running exactly the same, and after the same conditions I get a maximum of 12, maybe 13 hours if I really push it.
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Well I did a small test which was in no way scientific.

I ran stock and Liberty both for 20 minutes while trying to use a little bit on each.

I couldn't make the usage on both exactly the same but as you can see,

the difference between both which ran idle for most of the time is very noticable

but battery usage was nearly the same.

Stock - Battery still at 97% after 21 min

----------------

Display - 30%

Android OS - 25%

Wi-Fi - 23%

Market - 9%

Phone Idle - 8%

Cell Standby 7%

Liberty - Battery still at 98% after 21 min

----------------

Cell Standby 30%

Wi-Fi - 30%

Phone Idle - 26%

Display 6%

Android OS - 6%

Android System 3%
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
So in other words, liberty's battery manager isn't accurate. I guess my stuff is all in my head, but the battery life seems so much shorter. :/
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
this makes total sense to me. the original stock OS for the D3 had the same results as what Liberty is showing now. i believe that Motorola simply changed the results to get people off their back that these results causing battery issues but didnt really change anything but how they are shown.

just my 2 cents
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
I'm not going to sit here and say that people aren't having battery issues. I am just going by my own personal experience when it comes to battery reporting on roms vs stock. Like I said previously, I try not to even look at the percentages on roms since they always seem to report oddly. I judge by normal usage and how long the battery lasts and normaly I don't see much difference regardless of what battery manager is reporting.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
You tried to use both ROMs the same but stock as 30% display while libery has 6%? Either you failed or the battery manager is broken ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] HowardE:
Let me say, "Wow"

I have a Samsung Charge with Gummy and this ROM which I installed for a challenged friend with Droid 3 is amazing! I can't wait for team Gummy to make this one available for the Charge.

Nice Job
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Giving this ROM a whirl for the first time and enjoying the overall experience though Quadrant scores are down about 600 points, apparently due to the database writes score as everything else seems to run quickly/smoothly.

I'm getting a mix of orange and green tints and theme accents depending on where I am in the system (using ADW). Is this normal?
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
@Kejar31 if you add an option to disable wallpaper scrolling you won't have to jack up the home screen scrolling for it to appear smooth...it will be smooth as butter without wallpaper scrolling
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
If you understand percentages, you will see what is going on there. I just took a snapshot of my phone sitting over night on Liberty. As you will see, the phone idle and cell standby are quite high but yet after almost 10 hours my battery is still at an acceptable level for my standards.

Did anyone have success flashing over monster/steel w/o wiping? Just curious,
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I had issues idk why but I got it all fixed now had to wipe again and reinstall once.
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
does hdmi work or is mine messed up? i went out of safe mode to stock and it worked but i cant get it working in safe mode

(i do have dlna and liberty is the only rom ive flashed while in safe, so dont know if its liberty or safestrap issue)
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I see you included directions for the installation of themes. Where do we find liberty themes tho?
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Best rom out. Love it. But I also would like to know where to get themes from. Also when u say via recovery what are you refering to. Clockwork recovery?
[Motorola Droid 3] Javier78:
Can the AOSP camera change where it stores pictures? I want it to store pictures in the external SD card, but I can't find a setting for it anywhere.

Other than that, this ROM is amazing. Great work! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Rocinante:
Is there any way to get rid of the lock screen when using a pattern unlock??
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I just had some weird issue not sure what's to blame. Basically the screen blacked out while I was on FB and it was going slow. I went into app draw and killed all processes (I use GoLauncher). After that basically nothing could be done until I wiped all cache from safestrap. The phone would just be unresponsive on the homescreen and app draw but the settings area would be fine once it loaded it, notification pulldown fine.

I thought it was GoLauncher but switching to the stock one had the same problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
Can you attach a logcat? Is FB the only app that does this, and does it happen consistently?

[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
I just ran into something a bit odd. I loaded up the NFL Mobile app yesterday only to find it was crashing and not wanting to start. Did a unload and reload, wiped data, and all the fun stuff with no luck.

So I left it alone and went on with my Sunday fully intending to look into it this week to see what is going on.

However this morning my phone began getting quite hot while charging. Taking a look the NFL Mobile app was taking 99% of the battery, and this is after a couple of reboots where I did not start the app again.

It has since been uninstalled but I wanted to report what I know incase it is indirectly related to some of the battery issues people have seen.
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
i wanted to add that i had NFL Mobile running Red Zone live video all day yesterday with no problems on Liberty.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Thats good to know..must be a config issue on my end then. Are you running Safestrap? Trying to see what the differences between our setups are.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Sure, if you tell me how, lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
i am running safestrap 1.0

i SBF'd to stock the other day and then secured that setup and installed latest Liberty.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I get a "Root Browser has been granted superuser permissions" notification with every input, folder change, etc in Root Browser. Anyone else? Solution?

Digging into the 600 point Quadrant loss and lesser battery life - I wonder if these issues are due to Safestrap's safe mode.
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
I just flashed this ROM and so far I am very impressed! Thank you!

I have noticed one thing, however, that will be a show stopper for me. I live in a non-Verizon network and so I need to have "Data Roaming Enabled" checked on my device. I currently do not see an option for this. Is there another way to turn this on besides the normal settings menu?
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
As per the battery life issue:

After first installing this ROM, I noticed the battery life *seemed* horrible for a couple days with my extended battery. Now, it is about back to where it should be, so I'm guessing it's just a calibration issue.

As for the cell standby, I'm guessing the radio is reporting power consumption differently (different units? different order of magnitude?) than the AOSP source expects. Moto probably made a band-aid fix with the 890 update to handle the reporting correctly, but those changes are not reflected in this or any other AOSP builds. Maybe Moto will patch the radio to report 'correctly' at some point, but I wouldn't count on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Thanks, I'll give the battery some time to level out. 3G hauls compared to the other ROMs. This could be light network conditions or my mind playing tricks but it does seem quite a bit faster.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
I noticed theres a liberty rom toolbox included. I love that. You can change the lcd display/ performance etc. But i dont know what to do! Can anyone give me some quick tips on good tweaks/mods to use while on this rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I was running this for over a week without any issues, today I didn't touch it at all at work and I went from 80-36 in a matter of 5 hours. First time that happened though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nanostrike:
Been using the rom for 2 days now :) The battery level is stuck at 100, 49, 15 or a warning at 5%.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
[Motorola Droid 3] roblikeschocolatecake:
Anything not working with this rom? If not ill be getting it tonight
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
I have been using this ROM for a day now... Overall it has been great! The only thing not working for me so far is that I have no way to enable data for non-Verizon networks.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Only issue I have is it doesn't wanna go in landscape unless the keyboard is slid out.
[Motorola Droid 3] pgzerwer:
Probably a stupid question, but if one were to try to install Liberty from the ROM Toolbox available on the market, does one have to go through the entire process in the OP or does the ROM Toolbox already install Safestrap etc? Don't want to punch that Install ROM button only to bork my phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
You're gonna have to wipe cache and all that anyway. Id just do the safestrap install process.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Could you PLEASE include the universal inbox from blur? universalinbox.apk!

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MinionOfEckerd:
Have been using this ROM for the past two days. So far so good! No force closes, awesome battery life and I love the ROM Toolbox!

Looking forward to more updates!

*******************ISSUE******************

Absolutely love this rom but.. i had my first issue with it today tho. I have a 16gb sd card so i literally have all my music on it so im constantly using the music app. Today when i would click a song and hit the power button to turn the screen off the music would stop playing like 2-3 seconds in. It wasnt a corrupt music file because i tried other songs and it did the same thing as well. Whenever i would click a song and black the screen it would shut the music off. Anyone having this problem or have any ideas? And yes... i wiped data before flashing.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I never tried that stock player. It wouldn't find my music to begin with. I just use PlayerPro. No issues. The stock dsp manager is far better than PPs tho.
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
I having the same problem as well...please help!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Thanks woot ill try that. Screw the stock player lol
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
It most likely has to do with the aggressive memory management settings rom cooks have been using lately, kills all running processes when you hit the sleep button, if you can find a way to keep the music player from getting killed by the manager, should fix the issue

Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)

[Motorola Droid 3] Diggy1584:
Is any body else having issues installing .apk files on to their phones. Every file I try to install just says "application failed to install."
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I had that issue on another ROM..rebooted and it was fixed
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Haven't had the issue with the music stopping after pressing the power button to put the screen to sleep.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Anyone know of an easy way to change blurs text message notification icon? I like CM7 messagings icon it shows when enabled but do not like the messanger in any way.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Yeah that makes sense now verkerria. Im just using player pro now. I absolutely love it and theres 0 Problems.
[Motorola Droid 3] HandOfReform:
For some reason, I flashed this twice today, before updating I was running fine perfectly, however as soon as I update I can't grab any apps off the market, it's almost like I don't have any sort of download manager installed because market FC's when attempting to download anything and the browser shuts down as soon as I try to download anything as well, haven't heard anyone with this issue but maybe it's just something I'm doing wrong, I'm clearing my cache and doing factory data resets before installing, I have been installing from internal memory as I don't have an SD card but should that have that effect?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
I had this issue at first. I had to do the whole safestrap install process again.
[Motorola Droid 3] iSpencerPro:
Just tried to install this and it didn't work. I did factory reset, wipe data and then try to install from my sd card but no go. I tried it with 55% battery and then I ended up restoring my phone from a longggggggg backup and ended up draining my battery down to 15. Going to try again once my battery is charged up and see if any thing is different but please post any advice.
[Motorola Droid 3] HandOfReform:
Did this and it worked, I was skipping the uninstall step and just simply reinstalling it :rolleyes:. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] monkeydrufy:
sorry guys,

I've flashed this rom but the phone is stuck on the "M dual core" logo

any idea?

thank

edit: reflashed and now it work but I'm stuck on the google wizard, I'can click on the android :(
[Motorola Droid 3] bgarlock:
Me too. I can't find the option to enable roaming data..
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
menu > wireless and network settings > mobile networks > system select > click automatic

good to go
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
No, that isn't the same thing. I believe that setting allows for phone calls on non-Verizon networks but it does nothing for data.

The stock ROM has settings under Settings > Battery & data manager > Data delivery > Data roaming
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
ok that is the area i changed recently when the phone warned me as i was entering Canada.

i dont live where i can test this.

sorry if that was bad info
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
No problem, I appreciate anyone trying to help with this. It's honestly the only thing keeping me from using this ROM as my daily driver.
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/build-prop-modifications - There is a build.prop entry on this page for enabling data roaming by default. Problem is, I seem to have a hard time editing the build.prop file or any other text file on liberty for some weird reason. Editing works fine when on a stock build.
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
Awesome find! What have you been using to edit the build.prop? My understanding is that you have to use something like Notepad++ to edit files for our phones. Standard Windows Notepad doesn't correctly save the formatting of the files.

After editing this file, is a simple reboot all that is required for the settings to take affect?
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Normally I use the text editor in root explorer but it don't seem to work right in liberty so you'll probably need to back it up and pull it and use something like notepad++ to edit it. I assume its ok to put the line at the end of the file. Just remember to set the permissions back to 0644 after you copy it back to system.
[Motorola Droid 3] betolley:
prompt?

Does hot spot work without forwarding you to the vzw site for anyone else? It started for me with a clean install of 1.2 of liberty
[Motorola Droid 3] misterpat1975:
Works for me, but I did the TBH Wireless Hotspot hack back when I first got the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
Works for me and I never did the hack. Not that I'm complaining but what's up
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
So there's free tethering w/o the hack on this? I thought dude said he wasn't including it to avoid legal bs (may be thinkin of another rom). I was gonna do the tbh joint when I got home.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jerminator617:
Every time I try to turn on it says the process for settings force closes
[Motorola Droid 3] misterpat1975:
I had that problem also. Wiped data/cache and all is well.

[Motorola Droid 3] iSpencerPro:
I've tried to install this rom twice, both times factory resetting and wiping cache and each time it says bad, aborted. I'm using bootstrap i am 5.6.890. Any ideas as what I should do. Just try to download the zip again and try ?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
i would say redownload. it would allow you to flash even if you hadnt wiped. i would recommend safestrap vs bootstrap personally.
[Motorola Droid 3] iSpencerPro:
Just reading the post on the new updated safe strap it says it has problems with this rom and that it would get stuck at the beginning so I definitely don't want to try that. I'll redownload and try again I guess.
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
Its works perfect with the new safestrap
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I'm finding the GPS can be flakey on occasion with this build (though Blur had this too), the battery meter kicks back to 100% upon restarting, and initial 1x/3g connections take quite a while (especially with wifi enabled). Battery life, system speed and data rates are all among the best I've seen. The startup logo is great, the color scheme is quickly growing on me and I'm using the default launcher more than expected. I look forward to watching this already great ROM mature even further.
[Motorola Droid 3] monkeydrufy:
Is there any way to add italian language?

[Motorola Droid 3] betolley:

[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Has anyone had the problem of their mobile network cutting out on liberty? I've had it happen 3 times today, and I have to reboot every time to get my texts, calls, and data back.
[Motorola Droid 3] iSpencerPro:
Finally got the rom to install by redownloading and it is working amazing. Just want to make sure that when I use the mobile hotspot its all free and nothing to worry about right? I never did the tbh inspired hotspot hack
[Motorola Droid 3] misterpat1975:
If it forwards You to Verizon's Mobile Hotspot page telling You to pay, You need to do the TBH hack. Otherwise, depending on Your data plan, Your good to go. Only thing is if You go over Your allotted data limit, if not on a unlimited plan, Your going to pay.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
I figured Id share that I patched to 5.7.894 and only Mav rom would work. I downloaded hashcodes patch for CM (since Liberty is mostly AOSP) and it worked!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe.cotto:
Anyone knows what's up with the download page for Liberty Rom,or if there's any other way to download this Rom?

[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Had something odd today. All my notifications stopped working. Just rebooted and Touchdown is still not able to alert me of new emails. Text and GMail notifications are also not working.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I know everyone is geeked about the free hack, but if you don't want to take the time to do it (or just want an eaxsier way to get rid of tethering, if you need VZW support), check out Wifi Hotspot and USB tether, by SVTP, in the market. There's a free 24hr trial, and a paid app… it works perfectly for me (pairing with Xbox, computer, A500, and Galaxy Tab) on my D3! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] danielkuhlman:
You could try enabling data roaming (if you're not leaving the u.s.). it may give you a steadier connection since you'll be using the extended network when your home network fails.
[Motorola Droid 3] monkeydrufy:
any hope to add italian language?

thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
I haven't been receiving email alerts with AOSP email. So tried switching to blur email, but it kept force closing after adding an account. Went back to AOSP but Email.apk was not installed and blur_email.apk and BlurEmailEngine.apk were also left over. So after adding Email and removing the others all seems to work well along with getting alerts, atleast with it pulling every 5min usually set it to 1hour.

Another issue I've had is with wiping data, have not wiped yet since flashing 1.2 from 1.0. The market keeps force closing, even after reflashing cosidering I made some changes. Here is a logcat.

11-15 13:44:28.929 7086 7086 D Finsky : [1] DownloadRestarterRule.run: Recovering from Market exit when restoring / downloading assets.

[edit] Ok all good here now, not sure why it wouldn't work before. Maybe because I bought an app just before the wipe???
[Motorola Droid 3] Rennert:
And german language?

...Tapatalk
[Motorola Droid 3] hurrrtin:
EDIT: I got it working now.

Is the download corrupt? Whenever I get it, the install appears to work, but black screen on boot. I try to unzip on the desktop but it fails with crc errors. I've tried downloading others and they work fine.

Can someone post a mirror to 1.2?
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Some bugs to note (dunno where keyjar visits most for reports so I'll cover the usual forums):

With the 1.1 release that's available for testing in the pro rom toolbox:

- Battery icon changer doesn't quite work. Seems to work more with the 1% incremental, but none of the other versions work at all or sometimes works.

- Wall paper seems to always reset itself to Liberty after a few dozen reboots..not sure why. I prefer my ADW wallpaper thank you :)

- Lately after reboots the sound manager app crashes, and then randomly other things force close in the background like occasionally google voice

Overall still a great rom and my fave
