Lol, I just can't do it yet man… I have to be able to make and receive calls with reliability throughout the day, so having 3G coverage is vital. As soon as that gets sorted, I can run this daily, and deal with any other issues as they come up. How is it holding up as your daily though? I'd be interested to hear what kind of battery life and performance you're getting. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Nope! I'm dual booting Liberty and ICS ;]

Technically not a 'daily' driver, more of a 'switch safe system off' and boot into ICS when I'm bored type of deal.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Good call on this app. Useful thing to have, regardless. Thanked.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Like I said, I think Hashcode mentioned he got data working with *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu somehow. IDK if you guys have tried that. Think he said he just switched to cdma in that menu and data would come up on verizon.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Tried it, no options for CDMA.

I would like to say, has anyone tried to Copy/Paste on ICS? It's freaking amazing. I held my finger on that text and it selected it automatically... a thing of beauty.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I'm trying to get this to work, but swithching to CDMA Only keeps forceclosing the phone process, and blowing me out into the main menu.... any thoughts about whether I might be doing something wrong?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I get kicked to the home screen as well, but the call process continues and completes the connection in the background. Makes me wonder how I hang up. Guess I just have to wait for the other person to kill the connection...

Is anyone else noticing virtual keyboard lag? It eventually plays catch up and registers a bunch of input characters all at once?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
None at all, but then again, I'm using Thumb Keyboard versus stock.
[Motorola Droid 3] SchwassKIN:
USB Host mode

Has anyone been able to test usb host mode on this yet? I'm not sure how to get it to work. Hash?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Has anyone found a way to disable vibration feedback for the virtual keyboard?
[Motorola Droid 3] i4mt3hwin:
You just go into the keyboard settings and disasble it. Hold down the space bar and click settings or customize or whatever it says and then on the right of the Android Keyboard or English (i'm doing this from memory) is a settings icon and click that and check off the vibration tab.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
That sucks, thanks for testing and posting the results. I'll clear up with Hashcode how exactly he enabled data and repost. I'd like to see some posts in here about users with data, even if it's only on verizon atm.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Using as daily for now... cant resist. GB is crap next to this.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I played with it for five minutes and I can't wait for it to become more stable.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
i am able to use 3g data after the key code and changing to cdma prl and turning off the radio and back on. I had totoggle it a few times before the tests passed. Strange tho I can't dl apps but can browse. Need to side load drocap
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
The keycode?,,
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
*#*#4636#*#* phone info it will say GSM prl change to cdma prl
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
OK, I will officially confirm this works. The signal doesn't change to blue, and it will still show you as roaming (at least it is for me), but I'm now running without wifi on an EvDo-rev:A8 network ...whatever the hell that means ... I'm happy as hell right now! :-D
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
Its still strange. I can't download from market. Radio shutoff by itself and I had to redo keycode and toggle. Sometimes a lot of fc kick but I'm persistant. Love it tho
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Thanks for the keyboard vibration tip. I knew it was buried in there somewhere and I kept checking under the wrong language.

Its surprising how quickly this has become a real option for daily use. Still a minor hiccup here and there but its pretty slick.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
i need to invest in a camera, i want to use this so bad but my droid my only camera. it looks so awesome !
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
so i finally figured it out, i found out how to get to emmc But do any of you know how to mount it as your card sd card?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Not sure...it mounted the same way in the CM7 builds. Maybe Hash will look to change it (if he can/wants to) once the build is more stable, and isn't taking up so much of his time. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
i was looking in the *#*#4636#*#* dont remember changing any thing. i opened the drop down for gsm/cdma auto (prl) and looked. now i have know service. i went back turned radio off and on a couple times ran ping test to see if it would help no luck. i dont under stand what happened. im on Eclipse 2.0 right now i was looking to see if it was as i remembered before i restored my back up of ICS 4. i did find after you do key code if you long press the home button it shows the settings icon with testing under it. to switch back and forth.

EDIT restored my ICS4 and all is back to the way it was. i did find the if i change to CDMA auto prl it changes to gsm auto prl.

still no cdma only wifi going to try a fresh in stall.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Yeah, cdma was the one lol
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
GSM too? :(
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
my data actually does work, just not the browser... works for apps lol

I'll try to download dolphin later and see if it works
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
When I boot up, I can ping and traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (google dns) but I can't open www.google.com or ping anything by name.

I'm left with the feeling that 3G is indeed up and running (the roaming indicator is really annoying).. but instead there's an issue with DNS and the ConnectivityService which is giving us grief.

Random thoughts as I'm shutting down for the night.

Side note: I have the orientation fixed, but auto-rotation is off currently. Opening up the keyboard causes the phone to turn sideways as per normal.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Sweet... any chance at an upload? haha.... take your time sir, just antsy :P

I'm using the rotation lock app that was previously linked though so it's fine for now. Thanks for everything!

EDIT: Question, when you flick something out of the Recent Apps pane, does it kill the process? If so, epic.
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
I noticed on the testing menu, at "phone info" pressing menu will allow you to select the radio band. I could only select the USA radio. This probably explains why it won't work in europe.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
ive been thinking. i do have a spare PowerEdge 2900, dual xeon quads, 8gb ddr, not sure how much disk space but ive know theyre 15.6k cheetahs. I also have an old IBM but its only got 1 quad core and 4gb ram. I did a repo sync but thats as far as ive taken it

edit:: sorry didnt know if i had posted the SS of tracert that resolved. i cant recreate but it did happen!
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
To answer my own question, no, it doesn't.

On another note I'll say I've been using this all day with the orientation lock app and it's been phenomenal. No real issues, I can't use the web browser which sucks but my XDA, Twitter and Rootzwiki apps all work. I think this stock launcher might put LP and ADW out of business by the way... love it lol.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is what fixed my browser, but here's what happened. I used the Google search bar on the launcher to go to www.google.com and it went no problem, over 3G. Now the browser is working just fine.... I don't know if this is a coincidence or what, but I'm glad it's working lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
^^I'm done with both ADW and LPP honestly…the ICS launcher is so good that I don't even think about an alternate launcher. And if you guys want added customization, either on Hash's current builds, or at some point down the road in your CM9 journey, check out Nova Launcher. I played with it all night, and it's really nice, and improves on the stock launcher in a couple of really nice ways.

Droid 3 ICS

Hi does this build work on the Bell Mobility Version of the Droid 3? I want to make sure so I don't brick my phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
i dont think GSM is working
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I believe ICS can be loaded and played with if you're using the Brazil files for 2.3.5. I would have to ask Willis111 to confirm. (3G doesn't work yet for GSM).
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It boots and you can play with it but I had no.network connection at all. Im on the brazil fw. Don't know if.it will work on stock bell fw. There is a leaked update in the general section, I don't think anyone has tried safestrap/ics on it yet. You can be the first if you feel brave

xt860, android 2.3.5, Monster rom
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Hashcode, can I uninstall the japanese and chinese keyboards without any repercussions? I keep getting the "Select input method" notification and I figure if all I have is English it'll go away.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
couldve been from not wiping (didnt you just flash over cm7?) can you set default as English (US) Android keyboard in settings? how do you remove language packs? i didnt see it in system/app or a few other places i was looking.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

i thought i dicked up too lol. when i do the keycode, it sets to GSM prl automatically. so even if you dont do anything, youve already done something. sometimes when i switch to and from CDMA prl and toggle the radio a few times I can pass all 3 tests and i get a dns server and can browse and do whatever just fine, but most of the time i dont get a dns setting. i shouldve said something about the keycode becasue i was scared, too, at first. the menu structure is different and kinda threw me off. i didnt realize that meant click here for more options. hope its been resolved for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
No, I came from liberty, wiped /data /cache /system. They are installed keyboards, not language packs. I can remove them with TB. Guess I could always freeze them. The English input is set to default but it still always asks when I'm entering text.

Edit: Removed Chinese no problem, can't seem to find the japanese.ime though...

Edit 2: searching for it with Root Explorer... when I remove it I'll report if it worked/fixed the issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Off topic, but I just wanted to share these, since nobody has dropped a screenshot yet. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
How do you add the power option to the slider?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
lol i was searching with RE but didnt find aynthing. where/how did you do the chinese? if you find the jap keyboard let me know too.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Widgetsoid2.x with alternative icons pack, from the market. I have the ICS Hex code for the blue indicators as well if you need them.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
After key code and wifi was connected I had no fc during phone call.worked flawlessly
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
The chinese keyboard is spelled out in Kanji in TB. Or you can rename the PinyinIME.ime in /system/app

No results for Japanese.ime in my Root Explorer either lol wtf

Edit, found it. It's OpenWnn.apk in /system/app. I found it by causing the japanese.ime settings to crash. Android told me "OpenWnn has stopped working" ;)

So now it's gone, I'm only left with English input and Google speech-to-text. Also, I'm happy to report that it's no longer prompting me to choose an input method! #winning
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Are you entering a key code in the SMSC field, or are you just talking about the dial pad code to enter the hidden menu?
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:
i can not get this to load and just get a bootloop?

1. wipe system

2. installed updated ROM

3. wiped data/cache

4. reboot

have tried it several times and has always worked before.

any suggestions?

thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
What installation method are you using to flash?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
dialpad to get to hidden menu. and fyi people it usually resets my network mode to GSM prl when i enter the code, so dont freak out if you lose network lol just change it to CDMA prl (try to recognzie the new menu format). and iDroidNow are you on 5.6.890 or 5.7.894?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What?? They still haven't added that to android? I don't understand..it's a must have feature?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Lol, not at all... it's just widgetsoid2.x with the alternative icons pack installed. You can find it in the market. I just hate having the stock power widget on my homescreen, lol. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] fletch33:

[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Did you already upload the version with rotation working right? You said you fixed it, but didnt say u uploaded it, waiting for it, to flash.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
follow him on twitter and check his blog for updates, but no the rotation version has not been posted yet
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
I don't need to follow him on twitter to read what he post on here.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I'm not sure if you saw my updated post. I found the Japanese.ime. It's OpenWnn.apk. If you rename that and the PinyinIME.apk, it will stop asking you what input method you want to use.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
well after comparing icons and googling several apks (started with picotts.apk) i renamed OpenWnn.apk but its was still showing up. Deleting the apk removes the entry. thank you for that. so strange.. if i hit pwr to turn screen off, turn sideways and open keyboard to turn screen on, it stays in portrait no problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I didn't delete it, I renamed to .bak and restarted... now I can't get my friggin data back lol. Pain in my ass. Was working great, I'll have to toy with it later.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Hmmm....OK. like MrJudylicious said, what system version are you on?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
every great once and a while the radio shuts off by iteself and then ive gotta keycode and toggle a few times before i get data and dns back. its been a trip playin with it though. All hail Hashcode
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
i did get. i rsd back to stock then updated to MotoBlur 5.7.894 Stock w/ Root + Superuser.apk and used ICS-gapps made a big deference.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
oh I'm not playing with it, it's my daily... lol. Got my data back after leaving work. Woot.
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
i got web browser working the steps i did dont know if you have to do them all but this how i got there.

did *#*#4636#*#* set to CDMA AUTO PRL and my phone # stuck at the top toggled radio on and off

*228 option 2 update prl from 52559 to 52644

*228 option 1 program phone

rebooted

*#*#4636#*#* set to CDMA AUTO PRL turn radio off and on till it stuck

toggle DNS check to allowed

now i have browser and a data is working there is no data icon but it works
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Anyone else not able to buy apps? I can download, just not purchase. Have o buy from market website lol
[Motorola Droid 3] i4mt3hwin:
It's definitely a DNS problem. All I did was download Set DNS from the market and set it to google and data in the browser works.

Edit: Well I restarted and now Set DNS is not working =x
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I'm going to try Set DNS tonight :)

Right now I have several fires going with the build:

- Debug the DNS issues to see where it's falling out (might be related to the network usage stats issue below

- Rewriting the Ion lib since our kernel doesn't support the device (hello camera and various codecs)

- Stability updates for the Phone to eliminate the lot of FC's due to world phone behavior

- Bugfix the xt_qtaguid kernel module so that network usage stats work (I think it's an off by 1 error in the source somewhere)

- Fix the screen rotation issues having do with backwards lid state

- Fix the damn "B" key on the hard keyboard

- Bugfix the handling of the soft keyboard relating to the backwards lid state
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
don't know if its been mentioned but toggling the auto brightness on and of fixes the lights on the capacitive buttons
[Motorola Droid 3] i4mt3hwin:
Ok so I figured out how to get work on a restart:

I start wifi, boot into Set DNS, set the DNS to Google (it shows its already set, but I toggle it). I then kill Wifi and everything still works.

Edit: So I'm curious, what can we do to help you with all this? Honestly for me right now, the camera sounds the most complex to to fix and probably offers the least amount of reward. The FC's on the phone are the most annoying to deal with in terms of daily usage, followed by rotation problems, followed by the keyboard issues. Is there software we can use that logs what is going on underneath the surface of this thing? I'd be willing to sit there and figure out as much as I could, but I don't have direction to look.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I get asked that a lot, and here are some items which help me fix issues:

- Looking through logcat for applicable messages when you see an error / issue happening.

- Noticing that when YYY happens, you can do ZZZ to reset/fix it (such as Androidsims above)

- Be as descriptive as possible and try to reproduce the behavior under difference circumstances

What that does is give me a starting point or reference when I jump in the code to look at the problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
When are u releasing the version with rotation staying in portrait?
[Motorola Droid 3] Accophox:
Never ask for ETAs. It'll be done when its done. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
He already finished it...
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
wouldnt it be possible to figure out how setDNS works and change the DNS settings in ICS to be that? im sure im wrong and its alot harder than that, but thought id ask. I still cant wait to use this !!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
He said he was going to work on the DNS issues tonight. He probably wants to do a build with orientation AND DNS fixes.

Edit: in the mean time you can use the orientation control app in market as someone else mentioned. Works like a charm.

I feel like some things like the app drawer could be a lot smoother..still optimizations to be done?
[Motorola Droid 3] suzook:
Anyone try flashing this with cwm? Just curious. Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Every recovery we have is a CwM variant honestly ...if you mean the ROM Manager or Koush Bootstrapper version, no I haven't. Personally, I think Safestrap is the safest solution, at least until Hash has a stable daily driver ready to go. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
I hate venturing out of safestrap land. So easy to bootloop and be screwed
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Very true. I'm kinda hooked on Safestrap now...I used to just use the CwM from ROM Manager, then migrated to Hash's Bootstrap, but seeing as how I want to test this ROM, but still need a daily driver, Safestrap is my go-to! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] SchwassKIN:
Imma newb to this I tried to install from. Zip with safestrap no luck. Do I have to be in safe system? Do I restore or install from zip.

Sent from my DROID3

Ok loaded my backup of orig. Then rebooted, switched to safe, rebooted, and did a new backup. installed from zip. now im all over this Ice cream beat like sprinkles.

This rom owns.

Sent from fresh ICS install on wifi.

ps first screen i saw was a phone app force close message fyi hash.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Uhhh, I'm pretty sure that if you didn't flash this with safe system on, you have this set as your base system now, and will have to find a stock rooted ROM to replace this with. I have Liberty as my base, but I also have Bootstrapper, with my stock rooted backups... unless you have backups, you're going to need to find a place with good wifi, and search for a stock ROM (Hashcode posted one somewhere in the dev section). The good news is, you're not bricked. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
I don't think u can flash the nonsafesystem with safestrap
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
+1

You can't.

Ahh, I learn something new every day! I only set up Safestrap in order to use safe system, so I was just being presumptuous. :-P
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Some how I lost root, haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. I have adb root but nothing else. I ran petes root script just to see what would happen and upon clicking root it came back and says 'your phone already has temporary adb root' and then added superuser/su to system and then rebooted, but no dice (didn't figure it would work though).

Anyone experience this?

Edit: Had to reflash, no biggy. BUT, is there any other way to root this rom? can someone post the proper su and superuser that will work with this system.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I love how ICS uses my web history from chrome... its kinda creepy.

[Motorola Droid 3] SchwassKIN:
Why doesnt the build have a market?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
It's part of the gapps package linked a page or two back. CM doesn't come with market normally.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Here it is again. ICS Gapps from 11/25

http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip

EDIT: Just found ICS gapps from 11/28 for nexus s, should be fine to flash, let ya know if it works in a minute.

http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=carz12/gapps/&file=gapps-ics-20111128.zip

EDIT: They are the same, only difference is that 11/28 doesnt include google earth. Also a few extra system files so I would stick with 11/25
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
Thanks much for this and your work on getting CM7 on the Droid 3 as well. I tried the CM9 build for an hour, looks absolutely awesome (worked quite roughly for me but that was expected given the description). Can't wait to see this in a day-to-day usable form.

I'm now running your CM7 build on my Droid3, love it, everything appears to work great except the camera (but just the Camera *app*, as I'm able to take pictures using third party apps, which is good enough for me for the time being). CM7 is such a breath of fresh air compared to the stock customizations.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
no worries! i think he said at one point he would change that fact, but i understand, and agree with, his reasoning to keep the original intact. The only reason I know is because I tried to flash nonsafe once and it just wont let you lol so i did what you did, used bootstrap to flash non safe, then uninstall boot, install safestrap, toggle safesystem, and flashed the second rom. Now my nonsafe is 100% stock + OTArootkeeper root and super user.
[Motorola Droid 3] suzook:
Ok...so if i have liberty with bootstraper....if i uninstall bootstrapper, load safestrap...liberty will be my "Safe system"...then i can install ics on my nonsafe?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
yes. Highly not recommended, as we know there have been issues with safestrap completely removing previous hijacks. I dont remember if it was Koush's or Hashcodes first modified bootstrap. If that happens, you'll probably have to SBF! You have been forewarned haha but seriously most of the time its no problem. just as long as youre aware that it has happened in the past and u know how to sbf if needed

edit: and technically, liberty would be non-safe. Safestrap only allows you to flash the safesystem. You have the right idea though
[Motorola Droid 3] suzook:
@judylicious...thanks
