Just to clarify; are you talking about problems flashing ROMs or problems running the ROMs that ditching Safestrap helped fix?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
If you're having problems with Safestrap (other than Webtop) then the problem is not Safestrap, it's how you use it. When flashing to this ROM always do the process in this order:

These steps assume you have FZX'd to .902, updated to stock 5.9.905, are rooted and have installed Safestrap:

1. Download 3.x zip to external SD card

2. Reboot into Safestrap and do a backup

3. Toggle safe system (i.e. disable non-safe)

4. Format /system

5. Wipe Dalvik cache

6. Wipe data/factory reset

THEN...

7. Install zip from sdcard and choose Eclipse 3.0 ROM (After install is finished do not do anything else, just reboot)

This should be your process with EVERY GB-based ROM. I keep seeing people doing this backwards - installing the ROM then wiping after...you're just asking for problems then.

FYI - I've flashed the Eclipse 3.x and 2.x ROMs using Safestrap over a dozen times now and have zero problems (other than my personal preference of wanting it to be more like ICS)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Thanks! I thought so....

Instructions on Safestraps use, for whatever reason reverse that order?

FYI, I am an old ERIS guy that's flashed everything from, errr well ok, ya know :D

In Eris I would always do it the way you described.

This morning I decided to use Safestrap again. I uninstalled it and deleted the Safestrap folder that contained the orig and the safe folders. I did not delete my initiial backup sdcard-ext/safestrap/backup.

I then re-installed Safestrap and completed the install in the order that I knew worked on ERIS and that you suggested above. All seems well! i believe you are right!

Regards and thanks for the reply,

Decon

+1 Only problem I ever had with Safestrap was on the lapdock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
For some reason, ADB won't detect my bionic.

My safe system is the 905 update (properly flashed via stock recovery)

I'm on a Mac, but I've never had this problem on the stock ROM or in any ICS ROM.

Bug? User error? Ghosts?

unable to send mail, receive is fine

I am receiving mail just fine. However, since upgrading to 3.0, I seem to be unable to send it, even though it is in my sent folder in gmail...I have sent several to my GF, but she has not received them. Texting is fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
adb isn't even working via adbWireless.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
is usb debugging on? maybe it got turned off somehow
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
I would like to add to this...

After you make a backup of your stock system, go to "Safe Boot Menu" and then "Toggle Safe System". Make sure this is done before formating system and wiping.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobreak1970:
I read a lot of people talking about ICS this and ICS that. I am not trying to bring up past posts and cause a war, but....

I just want to say that all of the "ICS" ports for our phone still use a Gingerbread kernel.

So, are they true ICS roms? Using my Linux background I would say No. (great work to all the devs involved in the "ICS" ports!)

People need to stop busting on this rom, and making dumb comparison charts to "ICS" roms here.

Thanks for 3.0 Nitro.

God bless.

:)

Got lapdock working finally. reflashed and now it works like a charm
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
New to the Root/ROM thing on the Bionic...I waited until OTA 905 was out. Initially, I was just going to root and get rid of Bloatware. I tried this ROM on a whim and am impressed, make that very impressed. It is working really smooth and fast. Data is just like 904 & 905 stock.

My only MOD is GO Launcher

Well done. ICS can wait!

Thanks, you are appreciated

Decon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
Try launcher pro. Since we can't use ICS launchers yet, Launcher Pro is still by far the best performing on my Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
Turns out, my mac decided not to allow adb/USB to do what it pleased. I found this out by plugging my friend's Transform Ultra into my mac. No "USB Connected" thingie showed in his notifications panel. After a reboot of my mac, everything was back in order. Strange occurrence, but now when it happens again, I'll know what to do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Ya know it's been a while since I used LP on my ERIS! I will try it!

Thanks again,

Decon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mike t:
Holo launcher is just like ICS launcher and rus very smooth.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
Number one thing with me with the launchers is performance. Im really anal about scrolling speed and opening times and I need speed first and foremost. Hopefully when we get real ICS with hardware acceleration, we will have no problems......
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Danariel:
Just installed this ROM on my husband's Bionic, and I LOVE it. It's a shame there's not a version for the Rezound. :-( I tell you, rooting and installing Safestrap and Eclipse was much wasier on his Bionic than on my phone (have to go through HTCdev.com to unlock the bootloader, do the "wire trick" to get S-Off, install the correct leaked ICS RUUs, THEN install the ROM.)

I have ConROM installed on my Rezound, though, and it's a pretty good one with a really polished installer...however, I LOVE the wallpaper you have showing in the first two screenshots. Couldn't seem to find it in the .zip file (I obviously don't know where to look) so would it be possible for someone to point me to it for my own use?

Thanks!

edit: Nevermind, I just installed the Eclipse Blue Go Launcher theme. :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ashclepdia:
well that works also

:D

it's a pretty common wall paper also

can be found in Los of "blue walls" apps

it is also in eclipsewallpapers.apk in system/app
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
FYI- Official ICS is out now. 6.7.2233 is amazing! Running it now with hw acceleration, working camcorder, solid data, everything!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
True, but there are already a zillion threads on it here on XDA. Let's not derail this one, please?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobreak1970:
I absolutely love Eclipse 3.0 -- best GB rom to date for the Bionic.

I now await with excitement for ICS version of Eclipse Rom.

It's gonna be awesome.

Peace.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
It's an FYI/informational comment for ppl that just keep this thread bookmarked to get updates and never check the main forum. I never expected anyone to reply here on it, that's all these posts are for. Very common on XDA.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Hmmm.........as one of the new guys on the block, rooting and installing Eclipse 3.0 last week I am anxious to hear from nitro what will become of this fine work.

Will it be left as is?

Will he move to an ICS Eclipse ROM

or:

Unknown at this time..

As I said in a prior post, this is pretty sweet. Had I waited a week I probably would have never ROMMED with Eclipse 3.0. It appears that the ICS is pretty straight forward and harmless if you're totally stock 9.05.

I'm staying here with 3.0 until the dust settles and I see what's up here.

Regards,

Decon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lhkjohn:
From his site, I think he's working on an ICS build and he's done with GB since most people are on the leak now. 3.0 is amazing as is, so i don't see much to update there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
I tend to agree that his time would be better spend with an ICS version.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chip0:
m not sure if this has been answerd or not,but ever since i dl this rom im having problems with my internet. it always tells me i have no internet connection and i have to reboot the fone to get inrnet back, do i need a new radio or something? any help would be awsome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Did you upgrade to official .905 first? That has the radio you need before you use this ROM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Agree with Crobs808

905 is a must for Eclipse 3.0

Good luck!

Multiplying SMS

Only issue I have come across is my received text messages tend to come through in triples and sometimes 5 and 6 times. Not sure if its a common issue but definitely not a decision maker.

Loving this ROM :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
VZW issue. Happened to me with every GB rom I tried. I'm on the ICS leak now and it's more frequent since I flashed than it's been in a long time.

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
This has never once happened to me, and I have flashed about 30 different roms to this phone (GB and ICS). If it is a Verizon issue, then it is just in your area.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobreak1970:
I agree. My coworker using his Dinc2 on Verizon here was having this issue. My Bionic was not.

His eventually stopped doing it though.

Calls to Verizon for help were fruitless.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chip0:
i get the same issue, sometimes ill get like 10 of the same text, battery pull usually fixes

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

ummm i think so? lol idk my system version is 5.9.905.xt875.verizon.en.us
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
I've been trying to figure out the multiple texts forever... doesn't appear to be app or rom related. I really think it is a verizon issue. Man it gets annoying sometimes...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
That doesn't matter. All that means is that you flashed a rom based on the 905 system, but it does not necessarily mean that your radio has been updated. What is your baseband version?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chip0:
CDMA_N_04.07.00R.LTEDC_U_07.1F.00
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Hmm, that is correct. You should FXZ to .902 again then update to .905 via stock recovery. I left GB officially when ICS leaked though...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
*Oops, double post*
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chip0:
How do I get ics? Do I still have to go back to 902?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Q9Nap:
holy **** this rom is awesome! I always prefer rooted debloated stock but thought I'd try this out just for hell of it and glad I did.

nitroglycerin33, hope you are working on a ics eclipse, this release couldn't be any better!

will be sending a donation your way in the morning :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
FXZ to 902, update to 905 (via stock recovery), update to 2233 (via stock recovery).

For 2233 I recommend the AOKP release.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Any good link for summary and screens of AOKP on this? All I can find is the download. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Q9Nap:
just noticed the data issue, specifically the "no connection" message with full 4g signal.

keeping the wifi radio on, even when not connected to an access point, seems to fix it, but also drains the battery quicker.

just to verify, I am on 905.

Please fix, love this rom other than that issue.

btw, sent you $10 this morning :-$
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
The ROM is fine. You need to go through the process again, starting with .902 FXZ
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Q9Nap:
that doesn't make any sense, considering this is a system - only rom; A system / data / cache / dalvik cache wipe should be fine, which is what I did, not to mention I flashed from a fresh 902 fxz / 905 update to begin with.

Just installed the 3.7.11 market and this seems to have fixed the issue for now; guess I will have to start again with fresh fxz if it happens again.

Thanks for your input anyway :-)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
It makes perfect sense. The sequence matters as well...be sure you are doing all those wipes and the system format BEFORE you install the ROM zip. The only thing you should do after the zip install is reboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Q9Nap:
That's what I'm saying, I already performed that sequence of steps BEFORE installing the rom, so I don't see how doing what I already did the first time will have a different outcome.

Over it at this point anyway; on to the ics leaks :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
It is possible to do the same exact steps and get a different outcome, especially since RSD Lite doesn't do CRC checks (data verification) on the data once flashed to the phone.

Awesome move though going to the ics leaks. :)

Upgrading to latest Eclipse

Hi All, have been mostly happy with Eclipse ROM v2.2 since switching to my Bionic. Love the new features in 3.0 and would love to give them a try. Want to make sure I understand proper steps, any confirmation or adjustments would be GREATLY appreciated.

To get v3.0, I gather I need to do the following:

DL 3.0 zip to sd card, boot into recovery, perform dalvik cache wipe, reboot into recovery, load 3.0 ROM. Is that about right? Anything I'm missing?

Couple caveats, I'm running safestrap (as opposed to bootstrap). Does this change any steps in the process? Also, I'm still on the .902 VZ OTA, should I update to latest .905 after I wipe v2.2 ROM and before I load 3.0 ROM?

Thanks for the help!!

Finally, and this may be slightly off topic, but does anyone have an opinion on safestrap vs. bootstrap as it pertains to performance of this ROM, i.e. is there a noticeable jump in performance using bootstrap, vs safestrap which keeps stock ROM readily available?

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

Agreed, LOVE launcher pro. Just wish it was updated more...

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Ok, after some reading, this will be my process:

After you make a backup of your stock system, go to "Safe Boot Menu" and then "Toggle Safe System". Make sure this is done before formating system and wiping.

The only thing I would add in there is before I install 3.0, I should update to latest .905 OTA update, correct? Any reason this shouldn't be my M.O. going forward?

Still would love to hear performance opinions with bootstrap vs. safestrap with this ROM.

THANKS!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Right, my steps are meant to be performed AFTER upgrading to official 5.9.905 since Eclipse 3.0 does not include the updated radio (no custom ROMs do).

And yes, after step 2 you should "Toggle Safe system". I have updated the original post; here are the new steps:

===

These steps assume you have FZX'd to .902, updated to stock 5.9.905, are rooted and have installed Safestrap:

1. Download 3.x zip to external SD card

2. Reboot into Safestrap and do a backup

3. Toggle safe system (i.e. disable non-safe)

4. Format /system

5. Wipe Dalvik cache

6. Wipe data/factory reset

THEN...

7. Install zip from sdcard and choose Eclipse 3.0 ROM (After install is finished do not do anything else, just reboot)

This should be your process with EVERY GB-based ROM. I keep seeing people doing this backwards - installing the ROM then wiping after...you're just asking for problems then.

===
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ckfalls:
Excellent, thank you! And just to confirm, step 5b would be going into stock ROM after 2.2 has been wiped, and searching for system updates. It will find and pull .905 OTA, and once that's updated I'm good to go onto step 6, yes? I do not have to remove root to get .905, correct?

Thank you for the prompt reply!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
No. As stated, my steps assume you have already done a FXZ to .902 then updated to .905 via OTA (or stock recovery locally using the zip), rooted with Motofail and installed Safestrap. All of that must be done before starting Step 1. At no point do you boot back into the stock ROM.

NOTE: The Eclipse ROMs come pre-rooted. When you reboot after the last step you will already have root.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ckfalls:
Excuse me, step 6b per your newest steps above.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
No. Don't do ANY of those steps until you are on 5.9.905 stock and rooted with Safestrap. Then you do those steps as written (you don't go back into a ROM halfway through and then come back or anything like that). They steps are complete/correct now (nothing to add or remove).

Think about it this way:

Step 0a: FXZ to 5.9.902

Step 0b: Update to 5.9.905 (via OTA or Stock Recovery)

Step 0c: Root your phone with Motofail

Step 0d: Install Safestrap and run app to complete install, proceed to Step 1
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ckfalls:
Thank you for the response. Ok, perhaps I'm confused on how safestrap works, but my understanding was I already have stock ROM running with eclipse ROM concurrently. If I remove the eclipse ROM and boot into the stock ROM, I essentially have a stock ROM from which I can get the .905 update. Is this not so? Also, as I stated I am already on .902 OTA, am I then still required to FXZ to .902 before I can retreive the .905 OTA? Finally, if I already have root and safestrap, do I need to remove them and then get to .905 before I re-install?

Thank you for the guidance!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
In your specific case, start at step 0b and go from there. Goodnight :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobe1976:
If your unsafe side (stock 902) is unmodified then all you should need to do is switch back to unsafe side, install voodoo root keeper from Play Store and backup root and also using safestrap app uninstall safestrap recovery. Then using your file manager delete or backup the safestrap folder, I just zipped it up and move it to external sd with es file browser. Then install 905 update. After boot up reinstall voodoo root keeper and re-root phone with the backup. Install safestrap and have fun with 3.0 Eclipse.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ckfalls:
Very good, I'm going to give that method a shot. Thanks for the help!

BTW, untouched stock rom should be in safe portion of safestrap not unsafe right? Isn't point of safestrap for if your safe side goes bad you can always boot into recovery and have the safe stock rom still accessible and working?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
No, the stock rom goes in the UNSAFE side. It's "unsafe" because if you mess it up, you're hosed. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
Yeah the terminology (safe, unsafe) is a bit hard to swallow. Luckily after using it, it sinks in and becomes second nature.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Non-safe system = stock ROM (i.e. it is "not safe" to performance functions in Safestrap while this system is active. Some functions are disabled so you don't hurt yourself.

Safe system = this is your custom ROM,or your 'play' system. All functions in the Safestrap will be allowed when this system is active.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sytech55:
Lapdock support?

Does this ROM support the Lapdock?

I picked up the $50 lapdock from verizon and was hoping that it would work.

Instead it goes through bootup but then it just freezes.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lhkjohn:
Yes it does. Try using a different launcher.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
If you're using Safestrap, that's your culprit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobe1976:
This rom rocks when using bootstrap recovery. Seems to be more responsive when applied by bootstrap rather then safestrap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] omegaflare:
Gah.. I rooted my bionic and installed this ROM. Now it's taking forever to boot.. I wondered why, and it's seems to me that the boot sequence is going into loop. I am not sure.

I had to wipe my partition, now it's working :-p.

My wife finally agreed to let me flash a custom rom. Of coarse since I need something very stable for her or else I will never hear the end of it I flashed eclipse 3.0 and I will say it is as great as I knew it would be from Nitro. I ran eclipse on my x2 when I had it now eclipse is on my wife's bionic and my gnex. Love your work Nitro thanks for everything!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TechnoHippie:
Internet dialing?

Does this ROM have the dialer that CM9 has in it that allows you to setup VOIP accounts in the native dialer? I know the ICS versions of CM9 have this - but I have a lapdock too and no HDMI on CM9...grrrrr

Constant Freezing Launcher

I have had this ROM for about a week and I am having constant issues with the launcher freezing and either force closing or sometimes I have to force close from settings just to get it to work again. Has anyone else had this issue?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ztotherad:
okay, anyone have any problems with google not restoring all the comtacts on eclipse 3.0? i installed bootstrap on my friend's bionic, made a nan of his .905 stock rooted system, then i put eclipse on it through bootstrap, wiped the big 3 (data, cache, and dalvik) and it booted up fine, set it up then let him put in all his crap and now it restores 13 out of 80-90 of his contacts. he tried to remove his google account, then restore it, see if contacts os synced up with his phone, and tried rebooting the phone.. i have never had this happen on my dx2 when ive installed eclipse so idk what else to do anymore. any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
Not sure but it might he faster to FXZ to 905 again and try again, or wait a while for a response. You might have better luck with ICS 232 as well, not to mention it is a better upgrade and current development is for that base.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ztotherad:
okay, do i need safestrap/bootstrap for that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tragicremedy:
Sorry if this is breaking any rules but you can get a lot of info from the original post here: http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/ind.../***All-Download-Links-in-OP-Updated-Daily***

You don't have to use safestrap or bootstrap to go to 232 since it is a moto provided update and done through the stock recovery.

After you get on 232 if you want a custom rom you use one or the other depending on the rom.

I would recommend safestrap since it is always boot loop recoverable but does have issues with certain blur based roms.

I know nitro is working on a ICS based rom and probably will be a great choice once he drops it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] getyroks:

My systems version is 5.9.905.xt875. Is that what is the 905 they refer to?

The reason I ask is I keep loosing radio and data.
