Looks like I am getting 10% battery drain every 2.5 hours now (after freezing 41 system apps). Still more drain than ICS, but I shouldn't have had to freeze that many apps just to get up to 20hrs battery life. So, for anyone who has a Bionic and has been using ICS for a while now, here are the PROs and CONs about switching to this ROM (or any GB based ROM for that matter):

Eclipse 3.0 PROs (for Bionic ICS users thinking about switching):

Because this ROM is GB based, the following work: HD Video Capture, sync for Facebook photos, No periodic game crashes

Eclipse 3.x CONs (for Bionic ICS users thinking about switching):

Battery drain is higher still, even with lots of system apps frozen (only averaging 20-22 hours battery life versus 36 on ICS)

Gallery remembers old cache info, does not update immediately. Not as fast or accessible as ICS Gallery

Widgets are old style (have to press/hold from screen to add them)

No popup menu with spelling suggestions when tapping on word

Copy/paste options are old (popup menu blocking whole screen rather than menu bar like in ICS)

Cannot install/use superior launchers (Apex, Trebuchet, etc.) :(

No option to enable 'hold Back button to kill' for apps

Photo editing is very scaled down, not as robust or intuitive

Less clean, more bulky interface/menus due to being based on GB

No "Developer options" in settings

No "ROM Control" in settings ('Eclipse Parts' is very scarce in terms of functionality)

No unified/clean toggle widget bar (must find your own toggle widgets)

Unlock screen requires long drag across whole screen (harder to unlock on the go when needed)

Phone will not auto-restore apps and settings (must manually re-download and installs apps from Market, manually re-add wifi profiles, etc.)

Voice-to-Text engine does not have "Done" button (back to automatic, which sometimes cuts off even when still speaking loudly enough)

No Torch/LED toggle built in (must download 3rd party app)

Slower 3G/4G handoffs

Can you give me an idea of what processes you froze to improve the battery life?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Sure. Here's the list of what I froze in Rom Toolbox Pro (via Tools, App Manager, All):

Bluetooth Share

BluetoothDun

Calendar

Calendar Storage

Car Home

Corporate Sync Authenticator

Data Collection

Data Collector Service

DataCollectorProvider

Device Statistics Services

DLNA

DlnaSystemService

DSPManager

Eclipse Wallpapers

Fake Blur Xmpp

FMRadioService

Forest Wallpaper

FOTA

Google Calendar Sync

Google Play Music

Home screen tips

IPSec VPNs

Kpi Logger Service

MOTBLUR Indexing Service

Motorola Dock Service

Motorola Services

Motorola Storage Monitor

MS Exchange Service

Music Visualization Wallpapers

My Uploads

News & Weather

Swype

Terminal Emulator

Webtop

Work Contacts

Yahoo Contacts

Yahoo! Mail Authenticator

After you freeze apps, reboot into your recovery (CWM or SafeStrap), clear the main cache and Dalvik cache then reboot. This will allow the app cache to rebuild on next startup, so none of the frozen apps are left lingering behind in the cache. If you phone doesn't boot you may need to do one battery pull and put back (sometimes needed after cache clearing)

Everything still works great for me as I use none of those. For example, I have Exchange email for work, but use the Touchdown app which does not rely on the built-in exchange apps, so I disabled them. This also made my start-up time the same as the ICS builds now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
I would need about half the stuff you froze for work and entertainment. If you are not happy with it you have the choice to go back to your ics. Does everything work perfect on your ics rom? Eclipse is known for stability. Ok maybe not half but quite a few.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tkdboi:
as expected from nitro.. Thnx!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
hello i downloaded this rom and rebbooted into recovery wipe everything but before flash this rom by mistake a press reboot now so was supposed to be ok but phone is in abootloop and tried stock recovery wipe data n cache again and i cant make pass the boot image what can i do i assume the only thing is flash usiing rdslite??? any suggestion???
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
Read the op. . Dont wipe "everything" that only helps in the potty.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xkape:
denpad.. you cleared all your stuff but a lot of times (every time for me) not installing something else always causes a bootloop. What you need to do is pull the battery, hold down both the up and down volume keys and the power button and stick the battery back in, forgot that part, then when the triangle thing comes up let go and then hit both volume keys again at the same time. now you choose recovery...PLEASE keep in mind, in stock recovery, the up volume is your enter button so be careful. Anyway, in there choose wipe data/factory reset. Let that go and then reboot when done.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sk8tingusmc:
I don't see how I'm the first one to catch this in roms, but init.d is not supported yet. There are two ways that I know of to fix this, check out Liberty Rom (really haven't figured it out) or check out my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1294009 (I have added it to your rom and it works). Basically just add load_pia.sh to /system/bin/ ; and install-recovery.sh and recovery.fstab to /system/etc/ ; the files are in the zip. Test it by checking /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb for contents. This will fix your init.d on your rom which is great by the way.

update: the install-recovery.sh is already in your rom and only requires the other two files.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitroglycerine33:
The load_pia is not required for it to work. All you need is the recovery.fstab for it to work. I had it working before with only the recovery hack but adding your recovery.fstab fixes it..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sk8tingusmc:
True, It is with the load preinstalls script and works along with it. I just included it since Navendrob put it together for the x2. I never tested without it though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Santinelli:
Quick question, did you remove the moto blur alarm clock feature?

The Biggest reason I have stuck with blur rom's is because I LOVE when I dock my Bionic the awesome clock has a sleep timer so I can start music and fall asleep to it...

Thanks, ROM looks great, once I've figured out the answer to that, I'll give it a shot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
Rom is butter, only one thing I've noticed is when fully charged and still connected percent meter teeters from 100%-99% back and forth without downloading or any games just general browsing ie XDA,af, etc. Etc. Not sure if my charger port is the culprit or if anyone else is having same issue since this rom. I have just recently switched from stock 5.7.893 so I didn't have 1% battery either for a week or so since the 893's came rolling out. Just a question not sure if it is rom related or just a new hardware issue sorry and thanks. And once again thanks for the awesome work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] revolt1:
same thing happened to me and went into stock recovery but it still boot looped and could go into clock work and in stock couldn't load any back up

so I had to click back to stock and start from scratch

I want to try this rom but im afraid about boot loop
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rockwell22:
Best rom out so far
[Motorola Droid Bionic] revolt1:
retried the rom again and wow its nice

one question in your custom settings under browser it says full screen how can I set that

thanks

package file signed incorrectly

I get this on trying to update flash player and zumocast only so far. I went inot system/app and data/app and deleted flashplayer.apk but still get it. any ideas? other than that love the ROM!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xkape:
you must also delete the data....

1st, the reason for the error.... Some apps are included in the ROM and signed with a signature based off the ROM. Now, when these apps update in the market you will see that an update is available but you can't install it because the signatures don't match.

2nd.. how to update... there are 2 ways to do it, I am only stating the easy one. Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Apps and select the "All" tab. Fine whatever app you are messing with and click on it. Choose the "Clear Data" box about 1/3 to 1/2 way down. Now, for good measure (I use Root Explorer for this) go into system/app and delete that app. Reboot.

App is gone and its data is also gone. Now you are free to go to the market and download the app.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] acordill:
The battery going from 100 - 99 - 100... is not the ROM but how the bionic handles your battery. It is nothing to worry about. It does the same thing on stock ROM if you add 1% battery too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gossett:
thanks a bunch i'll give it a try!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
Cool beens. Loving the rom regardless of it either way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gossett:
worked like a charm thanks a bunch!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iampaul:
Best Rom so far

I love the ROM. It works for and I'm keeping it. Thank you developer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
I was just answering the question that was asked. Don't freeze them if you do not want to - I am not going to twist your arm. Also, our definitions of the word "stable" must be different, since mine was only stable after I did this.

The impression that I have gotten is that people who are flashing GB roms on their Bionic are impressed with the Eclipse rom. Typically these are users that have not used ICS a lot, or at all. It is obvious that the developer has some skills, but it would be nice to see a Eclipse 4.x rom that is ICS based for those of us that are already spoiled by Ice Cream Sandwich. He could continue to keep 3.x alive for his Gingerbread releases. (Just some wishful thinking, having lived in both worlds).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] goose71:
ics?

I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait for ics on our bionics...hmmm, what is this?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitroglycerine33:
When ICS actually functions properly I will be porting my nexus rom over which has far more features than any OEM based rom. Not sure why you are also having so many issues. By freezing the apps that you did you are really breaking functionality too. I bet after you froze those apps you can no longer edit contacts either. But if you must shoot the thing down so be it...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ashclepdia:
I just gotta say bout this

You do know he develops for around eight devices, BY HIMSELF

So don't always expect a major update(4.0x based) to come flying out, especially when those updates aren't official yet and there are leaks coming out left and right with different fixes that eclipse could be based on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ashclepdia:
sooo.....the differences between GB & ICS are issues in eclipse?

Patience.....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
If I had a phone with native ICS, I'd be patient too...all I got is the Bionic right now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ashclepdia:
I understand that, trust me, i know what you mean.

I came to this from the Droid x2, all i can say is at least your device has a bunch of ROM to choose from and even when stock your device works as it should(i.e basic things like playing music)

There is one thing that i can say without a doubt when it comes to eclipse ROM tho, when you are patient, your patience is rewarded greatly with an awesomely stable ROM. I mean you guys with the bionic are lucky, nitro almost dropped support for it, but apparently he was able to get hands on another device, when there is a stable base(that's the biggest thing with eclipse, performance AND stability) yall will get something amazing. Would you rather be patient and have something completely stable with EVERYTHING working, or be in here making posts about "xx doesn't work, force closes, data keeps dropping, etc...."

For now tho you have plenty to hold you over until eclipse ics comes through :p :p :D ;)

That's all I'm trying to say.

I do COMPLETELY understand that once you've tasted the ice cream, gingerbread is like cardboard with chalk on it lol

It just seemed like the "issues" you've posted on the past couple pages weren't really issues, you compared battery life on ics to battery life on GB, kinda hard to make that comparison, and then the rest was just "doesn't have xx...."and all the things it doesn't have were things that ICS is needed for. All these things WILL come, it probably isn't as far out as you think either, soon enough you will be enjoying eclipse ics :D

Like i said, at least you aren't stuck on the Droidx2 with no ics roms(except for one cm9 port that isn't really completely functional) and only an amount of gb rom that you can count on one hand lol (thank goodness for eclipse on x2!)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] willpower102:
This rom is absolutely worthless without corporate sync. Does anyone know how to get it back?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] masterchiefb117:
So I've spent the good portion of my day yesterday running the this Rom, battery stress, and I must say one of the best Roms I have ever put on a phone. This is coming a guy whos flashed a whole bunch of roms on different phones finding which one suits me the best. Came from Spearmint Gummy's ICS build, used as a daily, of course with any ICS builds you have your normal ICS issues. I got bored of it and went back to GB. My thanks to the dev. Gonna list some things I found while using this.

Good:

Very fast and responsive. No lag.

Most Stable build of all DB Roms to date.

Very customizable.

Still finding out more stuff....

Battery life...

I am seeing a lot of mixed responses about battery life. Bare in mind I have the Moto extended battery and have not used the standard battery since i got it.

On Gummy's builds I was averaging about 30+ hours/mild to moderate use. On heavy about 21+ give or take I put the phone down to pee and eat. On this Roms the first use @ 100% battery I pushed the phone,

Max brightness

GPS always on

Listening to Music

Youtube/Netflix/Hulu

Never let the phone go to sleep/always on.

Played some Star Legends

I got just under 23 hours/Heavy use. Now obviously I dont see anyone using the phone the way I did. I recharged my phone again and Im currently 78% 8hrs/43min in. Battery monitor saying i have about 32 hr remaining on current use. Just trying to find out whats every ones experience.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

I do have a question.

I saw someone say that they got Webtop to work. Is it because you have this Rom on the unsafe side/primary?

I can get it started no problem but when i try to move the mouse/mouse pad, it wont do anything. Keyboard works and all but cannot get the cursor to move. I have read from other threads/blogs and it seems Safestrap is the main issue. Heres my set up,

Unsafe: Stock 905

Safe: Eclipse 3.0

Using Safestrap 1.07

I have seen people use bootstrap to flash Eclipse on unsafe side, remove bootstrap, install safestrap, install stock .90x on safe side.

Something about safestrap and webtop not working together correctly. Can some verify this/confirm this. Using my Droid Bionic Lapdock with my Droid Razr till I can figure out how to get my DB to work correctly with it. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I was running KIN3TX on my safe side and .902 on the unsafe side, with Safestrap 1.07. Webtop would not work until I went back to unsafe.

I don't think it matters that much which system is installed on the unsafe side; webtop just does not like having the safe system active. If you uninstall Safestrap and go back to having only one system installed (i.e., unsafe), it should work fine.

HTH
[Motorola Droid Bionic] masterchiefb117:
So to sum things up, the main issue is running Webtop on safe side period. I kinda figured as much that something about the safe side and Webtop not working. I kinda like the fact that i can have my stock on the unsafe and still be able to go back to it when things go south, like Thermal Nuclear Warfare all over my phone bad. I only picked up the Lapdock from Verizon because it was only 50 bucks, better than 300. Seems pretty cool but GB and Webtop not a good combo. Kinda holding out to for ICS on my Db. I have the leak ICS on my Razr and Webtop is just simple awesome.

So to sum things up, Safe mode and Webtop is a no go, no matter the situation. Well i guess I can lie without it, I have my Razr to use then. I wonder if Moto/Google will come thru with their ICS plans for DB, and the Razr this Tuesday.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zakkyzombie:
No.

Bootloops.

Sent from my Eclipse'd BIONIC
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitroglycerine33:
Not sure why I am even bothering to help you with a comment like that, but in order to use your corporate sync account you need to open the email app up and add the account that way.

The blur corporate sync account does not function since the rest of the blur components have been removed.

There are some leftover blur accounts that I cannot get rid of such as Yahoo, Motorola services and blur corporate sync without breaking the functionality of the contacts and dialer apps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I was wondering the same thing. Guy is a dbag and doesn't deserve a reply.

Thanks for being the only dev still supporting GB Bionic. Assume you will post an alert if you are able to fix the text-reply-to-call feature?

BTW, I am still testing 2.2. Wanted to move to 3.0, but until the .905 update rolls out OTA, I am leery of sideloading that. Does the text reply feature work in 3.0? Kind of a must-have for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitroglycerine33:
It does not work yet. But I will be looking into it for the next build.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Awesome, thanks.

One other question: I created a circular batter indicator on UOT, substituted the Eclipse SystemUI, Framework-res, and update-binary files in the Kitchen file. But I still cannot get the damn thing to install. Is there something special that I should be doing with Eclipse? The process worked fine on both KIN3TX and Liberty.

TIA
[Motorola Droid Bionic] miguel11691:
Quick question when the next update comes out do i have to wipe everything and start from scratch again... or just cache and cache devlik ... i dont wanna lose some of my gaming progress
[Motorola Droid Bionic] heylailaa:
Anyone else experiencing the same problem as me? I was on the leaked 905 and had eclipse 2.2 going.. phone was working perfectly. Saw the new eclipse 3.0 update and I reflashed 905 and then 3.0 and now I lose data often. I seriously was not having this issue before. Did the whole full wipe and clean slate type deal. Considering flashing back to see if it makes a difference.. thanks in advance and apologize if this was previously addressed!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ashclepdia:
This is what Titanium Backup is for ;)

You don't need paid version in order to backup,data

(on each other device tho that I've run eclipse, unless there is a base change like 902>905, or some major system frame work edits, i never needed to wipe data)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dreitzell78:
Install Titanium Backup from the market and backup. Once you wipe clean and flash, just restore app data, and presto. Its just where you left off, and you eliminated possible problems. It really is a great app!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
Assuming you can flash. 905 sucessfully can you run 2.2 before you flazh to 3.0?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
Yeah. .905 hasn't been that hot for me either. Try taking out sim card, starting phone, then reboot and put sim back in. Seems to be helping me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] infolookup:
What's the best way to get to 905 from 901 before install this rom? I am currently on Eclipse 2.1 with .901 update.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Steve125:
I would think it would be fxz to 902 then take the 905 OTA or flash in stock recovery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Definitely the easiest. If you need a .902 file, let me know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Juicy92:
That's what I did. Came from eclipse 2.2 on 901 I think or 902. But either way. It took longer to find and download the files than to get through the process
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
And, I gotta say, moving from 2.2 to 3.0 feels snappier. Could just be my imagination, but I like it. If only I could get the text reply to calls to work, it'd be perfect.

(Well, almost: I actually like the Blur email client better than stock.) :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Steve125:
Im loving all the new lockscreen options in 3.0. I missed the cm7 style sliding 4 tab with phone and text messaging on the lockscreen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lhkjohn:
Anyone successfully use their lapdock with v3.0? I had to switch back to stock to get it to work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitroglycerine33:
Are you using safestrap?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lhkjohn:
No I flashed with bootstrap. Any ideas? It starts up, but no keyboard or trackpad response.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
How do I disable data saving (data being disabled when screen off)? I am on-call for work some weeks and am finding that my email client does not update for hours when the screen is off (i.e. does not push).

[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
"Data saver is currently off".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Hmmm......Not Happy

I received the OTA 905 update to my previously UNROOTED phone. All went well!

I had and ERIS Rooted so I wasn't a total NOOB to this. I decided with using Bionic Safestrap to Root and use this Eclipse 3.0 ROM.

I used the one-step motofail.exe. Worked perfectly.

Install BionicSafestrap v1.07. Worked perfectly

Installed TI with Pro key and backed up all apps. Worked perfectly

Backed up my Unsafe System and WebTop....thank God!

Toggled to Safe System and formatted.

Installed Eclipse 3.0. Worked perfectly

Wiped data/factory reset

Wiped cache partition

Wipe Dalvik as per Safestrap instructions.

Up and running on Eclipse 3.0 No problems

I decided to toggle back an forth from safe to unsafe and back again. Just to try it!

Back to unsafe, All Good

Back to safe....ERROR. tried a second time, error

Back to unsafe phone reset?

Restored unsafe backup - All good

Tried the unsafe to safe evolution a second time, same results?? Phone is restoring back to unsafe Backup as I type...Not Happy!

Where did I go wrong? FYI, I am an Instructor, not bright, but I can follow directions and normally play well with others :-)

What do I do now?

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Ok same as above but go into Battery Mode. You can control it from there!

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Ok to the same place and click on Battery mode. It's in there!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
It is on Nighttime Saver (the default) which says data sync is 'unrestricted' during daytime. Am I missing something here?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Ya know....the OTA update is receiving both good and bad data reviews. Try powering off. See if the come-back helps!

My best

Any help for my problems with Bionic Safestrap?

D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adampa1006:
I wouldn't bother with safestrap. Way more problems that it helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Yeah, I am certainly thinking you're right. My phone seems to be working just fine. It's holding on the reboot and from the power off/on. So what now?

I'm thinking...Uninstall Safestrap and install Bionic Recovery Bootstrap and go from there?

Recommends please. Thanks :-)

D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idivorceyou:
I abandoned Safestrap after many problems and went with Bionic Recovery Bootstrap and have no problems ever since. running leaked, rooted .905, eclipse 3.0 and bionic recovery bootsrap. loving it!
