[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Remember: This is just a preview build to sort of let you share in how the current ICS build looks on the D3. Just something to toy around with.

It's VERY broken and is not to be treated as a real ROM by any means.

I'm getting mixed reports of 3G access. Last night I added back in the kernel modules to get the data usage screen to work. I wonder if they aren't causing data issues.

Once we hit alpha stage I'll be looking to each of you for feedback and we'll open up the Bug Tracker to make sure that any open items get addressed in a timely manner.

Stuff like the home button, keyboard issues, rotation, 3G data, audio, 3D graphics and the camera will all be working before I would label as "usable". And maybe I'll get around to fixing the phone crash on boot this time!
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I did not get any data, tried a *228. Still looks amazing. It hurts me to flash a GB rom after seeing the beauty of ICS.... they don't even compare. Thanks for everything hash!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
Hahahaha! *228 took several tries for me. My wifi only works with airplane mode but I got my GAS acct setup and xda dl. I kno its still n preview, I figured id share with everyone to avoid the onslaught of the same questions. U can count on me beta testing whatever... at least til next week. Gonna grab me the sgnexus because ihave no kids :D

And ps: thanx again
[Motorola Droid 3] ktrinidad:
First off, THANKS HASHCODE! Been using this ROM since it went out.

Did all of the recommended tweaks and it's safe to say I can use it as a daily driver.

Noticed a couple of things, hopefully it is not a repost (or maybe it's just on my device):

1. Lights on the physical keyboard and the menu not working.

2. Used the GPS (Google Navigator) yesterday to test it out. Locked almost instantly, turn-by-turn works flawless. Exited the app, then when I entered another destination, it is not locking at all. Just keeps on "Searching for GPS..." signal. I thought at first it was just cloudy last night that the device is having a hard time getting a signal :), BUT, when I restarted the device and tried it again, it locks perfectly!

Hope this helps you! Looking forward to the next build.

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Facebook doesn't integrate with ICS, so it's not the ROM. Hopefully the issue will get sorted out. And the virtual keyboard is supposed to auto correct... if you dislike how aggressive the auto correct is, you can always try a third party keyboard. :)

music is real buggy it'll play so long and start skipping and stuttering and, then force close..
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
Ive running out of memory pretty fast, and I am getting laggy. I spent a bunch of time in root explorer, if i spent too much time, it would get very laggy and force close. Then i would reopen it, ant it would be fine again. I dunno if this has to do with any of the editing I did, ill see if it goes away with a reflash

[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
No, I can't. That's my point.

I don't have an external SD, so TiBu and everything else doesn't detect any SD card.
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
Tried the above with no luck. Maybe my Droid 3 is just incapable of taking any ROM at all? I had this same issue with preview 5.

I'll try flashing CM7 unless anyone has any further suggestions.

Anyone with any insight on why I can't purchase anything on market unless it is free?

Only if it detects an SD card.

In stock GB I can do what you said. It defaults to "/mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup", but I can press back and move up the tree.

In CM9/ICS when you go to Preferences->Backup Folder Location it just pops up and says "Sorry, the SD card is not mounted."

My keyboard lit up after i turned automatic brightness on
[Motorola Droid 3] adamskub:
I'm not sure if it's just me but I have to have my phone tethered to my computer to boot into ICS. It refuses to get past Safestrap menu unless it's plugged into my computer. Is this normal? I searched to see if anyone else had this problem but I couldn't find anything.

Otherwise Thank You for bringing this ROM to the Droid 3. Love it so far!!
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
Tried another rom (liberty) and had the same issue. Am I screwed ?
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
Are you pressing Search to skip the 10 second wait, or are you just letting it go through on its own?

I've noticed that if I press Search it won't actually completely boot into ICS or GB.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
if you can still flash things, then ur fine. its a tough call on your issue. i did look back at your few lasts posts, but I personally would do this. Please do not do this if you are not comfortable with RSD. please know that if u f this up your phone might not work. that being said, it works fine. I would RSD to 5.6.890 using the RSD thread. Last time i knew the SBF download wasnt working but it can be found http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/

then use petes motorola tools to root http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/ i know it says bionic but it works for most motorola 2.3.4 devices.

then download safestrap from http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads.html and follow the instructions from http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html

IF THAT DOESNT WORK THEN YOU MISSED A STEP OR SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG. I hope you can get this resolved! I feel your frustration

edit!:! Make sure you do NOT SBF back to 5.5.959!! If youre on 5.6.890 or 5.7.894 and you try to RSD back to 5.5.959, it will not end well for you my friend.

[Motorola Droid 3] edmann:
I have had problems with corrupt files. Can't we just get along. With this phone and the locked bootloader one has to start over. For me that means SBF (SWupdatefile), RSD Lite 5.5, reroot, and in your case I won't trust anything you did before. This is a time to go slow, real slow. I would follow Hashcode SafeStrap instructions to a fault, I mean T. This stuff is kinda abstract, slowdown. I downloaded from his blog. Seems to be a good connect. Good luck, I think your ok. Or not.

My CM9 is just peachie. I would like to trash the Google search bar at the top. But when I press to slide it puts me into search.? I can live with it cause its transparent, sorta. Any of you OC guys, what are you using to get 1.2 ? This rom rocks !
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Thanks for the faceook info! There is no setting to turn that off for autocorrect? Underkeyoard settings it gives the option ut doesn't apply it... oh and in an earlier post it said that we wouldn't have the signifiers for caps lock and alt lock. I have those, not sure if that's already een solved though lol. I love this rom !
[Motorola Droid 3] Matthileo:
Turns out superuser is working, it just refuses to update the su binary (and FCs)

I still can't update maps. It says the package file isn't signed correctly. Anyone else having problems?

[Motorola Droid 3] adamskub:
It's actually not booting either way, if I let it wait it'll just go past the Safestrap bootscreen and then reboot. Same with search button, just no waiting 10seconds.

However if I do plug it into my computer before it hits the Moto screen it will boot (I can hear it mount on the system on Windows). I'm really confused as to why it does this? Like once it hits the ICS bootscreen I'm fine without it being tethered.

Maybe it's just an Alpha thing I'm not sure?

U only have to togle brightness (doesnt have to stay in any state) Just be sure to have the KB opened so it also lits, if not u will have to repeat the steps as it will only turn the button lights
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
That's nice. Don't bother explaining how or anything. The filesystem, options, and other switches needed for mount wouldn't be useful at all. Stating the obvious is more than enough help.

edit: "mount -o bind /emmc /mnt/sdcard" will make the internal storage files appear at /mnt/sdcard in Astro, but TiBu and everything else still doesn't recognize it as an SD card.
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Sorry i was just pointing the general idea ( I Didn't thought it was obvious) on what to do, because I'm on the phone and truly didn't want to do a search my self on the exact procedure kind of difficult to write on the phone (or copy and paste on ICS :( )

If i had been on the PC i would maybe copy and paste the exact mount procedure as i did on other posts in this thread with images and all.

Btw I'm still on the phone and kind of lazy now. When i get home i will do it.. :P

But yes, simply factory reset and it comes back.

Did you use Safestrap or Bootstrap recovery? And did you wipe before flashing?

[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
Safestrap, yes I wiped before flashing, then i flashed the .590 SBF rerooted and redid safestrap to make sure it was clean... and still just bootloops... :(
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I could be wrong, but I think your issue may be due to the .590 file. I remember somebody posting something about it a while ago, but if you can sbf back to the previous version (5.7.894), then this ROM should work. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

D3 CM9 Alpha 1
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
you mean flash forward to the 5.7.894??

the .890 is 5.6.890 i believe, (will have to go back and check my files), this ROM requires the system to be on 5.7.894? I'll give it a shot in a few here...
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
I got this to boot by flashing to 5.6.890 (thanks to Mr.Judylicious). Here's a link on how to do it : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/

After SBFing I just followed normal procedure: root, safestrap, toggled safe mode on, wiped cache / system, then installed CM9. Now everything works just peachy :) . Except for calls (I'm on GSM). I get FCs whenever I try to call someone, but I guess Alpha 2 will take care of that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
I followed these steps last night to the same outcome :(

Daaaang. I don't check the thread for a couple of days and come back to a couple of users throwing blows at each other.. Sheesh.. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be GRATEFUL. Even if they don't answer your question right away, have patience.. look around the forums.. it's probably been answered already. If a user wants to be a hard head towards someone who is trying to help them, it will be very hard to continue receiving help on here. This is a GREAT CM9 thread, let's not derail it.

Seiryu, You can boot cm9 from .890. Just a quick run thru.

1. Use Psouza's 890 script to sbf you back to stock. **Psouza's Script Here**

2. ReRoot

3. If you want to update to 5.7.894, you need to get OTA Rootkeeper from the market and backup "su" before updating. If youre not going to update, keep reading.

4. Install the latest safestrap.

5. Make a BACKUP in non-safe mode.

6. After it is done, switch to Safe mode && REBOOT BACK INTO SAFESTRAP

7. Install the latest CM9.

8. Reboot.

9. Do not restore google settings.
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
Again?

You'd have to have done it once to do it again.

Glad you're just here to talk trash instead of improving the ROM though. That's certainly something to be proud of.

Uhh yeah Jason..you don't know what you're talking about. So how about you put an external sd in your phone or get over it and use the stock rom or something. Androidsims is an awesome guy. As far as I'm concerned you're a 10 year old cry baby. Sorry for the bluntness of my opinion.

[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Thanks for the heads up bro!
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
OK. The reason I asked is, because after some tinkering, I found out that tethering doesn't function properly when overclocked. You have to be on stock kernel settings for everything to work properly. I just use script manager widgets to switch between settings. Hopefully that quick fix will help. :)

D3 CM9 Alpha 1
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I'm doing the same but script manager seems to crash a lot. Once the Widgets are set up it works fine. Same for you?

[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
I messed around today with Alpha 1 some more, and the force closing was way less with the VM heap set at max size (76). It appears from watching logcat work, the OS lets things like the launcher grow out of control, and once the current VM heap grows to max size, the apps crash until it stabilize. Im no developer, so i may not know what im talking about, i just like to explore and break things to see what happens

Restore of apps from TiBu

I successfully flashed the Alpha #2 on my Droid 3 with ease after installing the Safestrap. Now, when I tried to restore all my apps from TiBu, it seems to have restored the apps successfully, however, there is no apps installed on my phone in actuality.

Has anybody experienced this? And is there a solution to this problem? I have been backing up most of my apps through TiBu and I do not keep the physical app files.
