Tweaks to help ics build run better. Get rom toolbox from market. First download new su and su binary from chainsdd website. A must.

Then under syscl setting in rom toolbox. From top to bottom.

4096

90

70

30.

SD cache also in rom toolbox. I put 3072.

In build prop where windows per sec lines are I changed from 55 to 250 . And fix permissions like twice. And get nova launcher google it. I am on twitter @sparkyman216
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Maybe this can be put in the next build?
[Motorola Droid 3] sparkyman216:
U try them all out

ALPHA BuILD IS uP!!!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
Cheese n' biscuits!

On it, like a spider monkey.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
whohoo! gonna try this now..lets see if GSM works.

Do I need to format /system? (i'll put it on safesystem)
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The install formats your /system. ALSO: The alpha builds will include the "safe" GApps, so no need to flash them again. (No GTalk for now)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So installed on safesystem..wiped data/restore.. press reboot.. nothing happens.. :confused: screen stays dark and won't turn on.. gonna pull battery.

edit: well booting now after pull..weird :eek:
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
That's not the Zip or ROM. I believe it is still stuck in safestrap after you press reboot. It happens less than often but every now and then, the screen will stay dark but the screen is still on, as you can see by the lights. You do have to pull the battery tho.
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
Happened to me a few times. Battery pull is the solution.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Good to know:)

Anyway.. all went smooth, even 3G works! (netherlands) All I had to do was edit apns-conf.xml.. but I have to do that with gingerbread too. Also noticed UMTS fix was already aplied and that mode was set to =7 not =4 by default.

noticed small bug: in battery settings it says discharging but it's charging

Also, while its super smooth, I do notice some slow-downs when clicking on menu. Sometimes it hangs even for 1s on the e-mail icon
[Motorola Droid 3] Matthileo:
Still having superuser issues. That plus no gtalk means I'm back to cm7 for now. Not that I mind, cm7 runs great :)

also, google maps refuses to update. This does not seem to be an issue for any other apps

[sent from my droid]
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
Restoring system data is giving me some issues. (Exchange and calender crashing)

Starting this build with fresh system data and only restoring apps for now.
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
:( it said it couldnt detect sim and reverted to CDMA but i cant find a way to go to GSM back again .. :(

i have the feeling i have to Stock, switch and back :P

also you said Thetering is broken but its there. and doenst work (wasnt there before)
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
For me Launcher2 is crashing a lot more than Trebuchet.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Accidentally restored gingerbread system settings and bootlooped ICS. Erased data and it booted again but now simcard not detected...weird
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
i went back to Motoblur stock

so i put GSM in settings. and back to ICS :P

Hashcode is there a way to change the CDMA GSM Bit manually?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So re-flashed and again froze dark screen after pressing reboot.. Pretty occasional if you ask me

Anyway still not fixed - simcard not detected. Guess its a bug, gonna try going back to gingerbread
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
How are your "B" keys ehaving with the Alpha uild? :D Noticed this seemed to be hit-or-miss. Not trying to put pressure, just curious.

Tempted to throw this on the Droid3 later today (it's now an app test phone for me in any case, running the CM7 alpha at present).

Thanks again HashCode, really appreciate your effort. Sent you a beer or two a couple days ago after being overjoyed with how much better my D3 became with your CM7 build.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Doesn't work, alt&shift don't work for me either
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
They work... you just have to hold them. This has been noted like 20 times.
[Motorola Droid 3] BatterseaPS:
Will installing this SIM unlock my GSM slot or do I need to ask Verizon for that?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Just wanted to say its working great for me. I do want to point out that the volume toggles are inverted. Pressing the volume down button increases volume and vice versa lol. Thanks hashcode as always.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
nvm, didn't read
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
Is any one else volume control back words.
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
lol mine too
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Yes just mentioned it last page :p
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
I am unbricked now. Just need to activate again and root, and reinstall this awesome rom :D
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Benches higher then GS2 in cf-bench. I'm overclocked to 1.2ghz.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Been on a train to the middle of nowhere in Auburn, NY for the last six hours, without reliable enough coverage to download. Now I'm settled, and it's time to play! Thank you Hash for all the dedication and hard work that's going into this project! :)

Sent from my ICS D3, powered by Hashcode
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
It did it to me a couple of times too, the reboot command in adb hangs out of safestrap sometimes, this can be avoided by hitting powerdown out of safestrap instead

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

Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
ok i have switched back and forth from stock to ICS to switch CDMA and GSM as it Keeps reverting on ICS to CDMA :(

i think maybe the rom needs something to prevent this change :P

is something i can change on build.prop? so at least i dont have to switch????
[Motorola Droid 3] jorgonv:
Has anyone else been able to get a led flashlight app to work? i've tried a few apps and they all fail or force close

also, what about charging while plugged into the computer? The icon has the lightning bolt thing, so the phone thinks its charging.

does anyone know how to set ro.telephony.default_network= on GSM only?

in last build it was 4 (CDMA) in first alpha is 7 (GLOBAL)

so maybe a number would set it on GSM
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
The computer does charge the phone that's y. The led won't work because the camera is broken
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
I think the number is 3 from the CM7 GSM patch

i will Try that. xD
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
I am evidently doing something wrong because I can't get the ROM to boot. I've done recovery tons of times before, but this is the first time I do it on a safestrap system. So let me tell you what I've done so far:

1. Installed safestrap through apk, accepted, just like stated in Hash's page.

2. Once in recovery, I toggled the safe mode which to my understanding puts my current blur system on a "first" and "untouchable" partition

3. Formated /system

4. Installed the rom choosing .zip out of my SD card, then wiped data, then wiped cache

I have tried several variations of this procedure, such as not wiping anything, installing on top of another installation, not formating /system, formating /system and not wipin data or cache, but nothing will make my device boot the ROM. I can however restore my old system by disabling safemode.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW: what i get when i boot ( if i wait for a while or press search ) is a black screen for a little while. Then the phone reboots.

Thanks everyone!
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
after you put it in non safe mode to backup your main rom then you need to toggle lt it back to safe mode the wipe data cache install the zip if your not in safe mode it will not install.

If "Safe System" is not enabled, then turn it on in the Safestrap Menu.

Format /system under "Mounts" menu

Install the .zip as per normal.

Wipe data/cache

Reboot
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
I already did that, otherwise the rom wouldn't install.
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
maybe you have a corrupt download redownload and reinstall also after you tell it to reboot in recovery it could take a little while till it boots did you give it time to do that?
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
First, try redownloaing the rom.

The procedure I follow is:

Switch to safe

Wipe system

Flash rom

Reboot

Wiping stuff after flashing is prolly not gonna work.
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
he has the steps wrong i forgot

do this

1. wipe data cache

2. then install the zip from the sd card

3. the reboot from recovery where it says reboot system

4. then have fun
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
I tried Preview 5 and it did the same and now I get the same with Alpha 1. I thought it could be a corrupt download, but the few times i did install corrupt downloads (on my G2) the system would detect them and not allow me to install them. Also the rom is 159 mb in size just like it's supposed to be... I thought I was doing something wrong but I'm getting a bit desperate here ! :,(
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
dam you beat me to it we need to let hashcode to rewrite the procedure

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

read my friend bobbar and i just to you the procedure

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

Switch to safe

Wipe system

Flash rom

Reboot

in that order if not you will bootloop
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
Thanks everyone. I'm trying that right now (wiped absolutely everything, that is /system, cache and data and I'm currently installing Alpha 1). I'll edit and tell you how it works out.

EDIT: Still getting the same :S. Wiped everything, then installed the rom (already in safe mode). I'm redownloading, just to make sure, but I'm pretty certain the file is not the problem. When I go to mount, cache and systemorig self mounts. Could that have anything to do with my problem? I'm running out of ideas. Once again thanks everyone for your help.
[Motorola Droid 3] jenol:
glad you got it enjoy
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Check the MD5 sum, that what it is there for. I bet you they don't match. Try downloading over 3G.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
nice

Well as of the new alpha build cm9 is now my daily rom I can live with the remaining bugs and kinks that need to be worked out! my d3 runs tooooo good now. One thing.. you used to he able to go into settings and caller I'd then set caller I'd then ring ...is this option comming back? I wouldn't like to use a third party app for this
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Great upgrade. It is awesome.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
What is your non-safe system rom? The older rom has some issues when you try to install a safe system with a newer rom version.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Anyone know how to sync Facebook contacts with ics?
[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
Tried the new rom (Alpha#1), Looks good so far. I still can't make/receive calls with my Rogers GSM 3G sim card. If I do the (#4636#) and look at the phone status, it normally sits at Idle except when I call my phone and it changes to Ringing but the phone doesn't show that it's ringing. Will this eventually be fixed soon?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Is anyone else seeing weird shading/dithering issues in the alpha? My "Bubbles" live wallpaper looks funky while previous builds were clean and the gradient was smooth.
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
Feel so strange, i got boot loop in alpha, both with usb plug and without, but i can boot into preview 5
[Motorola Droid 3] :
is the usb storage mode not working in the alpha1 ?

and is the alarm clock removed ? i can not find it
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Anyone else having launcher issues? IE; it crashes when scrolling through the app drawer trying to get to a widget that is more than 2-3 swipes.

Nova launcher has some nice features, but its laggy when you have more than a few widgets on the desktop. And even worse with the wallpaper scrolling on.

The other launcher replacements don't have the same feel to them when swiping otherwise I would use something else. Love the stock launcher though =/

Mass storage is not working. And the alarm is under clock in the app drawer.

Install facebook, I don't think there has been integration with ICS.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
I was wondering the same thing
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
are you xt860? yes usb storage hasnt been working, it didnt in the last two builds for me. volume buttons are reversed. if you bootlooped, did you make sure you did factory reset/wipe data/cache? i can set the ringtone by going to music, and selecting the song/file i want and touch/hold to select.
[Motorola Droid 3] Diggy1584:
facebook doesn't work with ics for contact intergration. try sync my pic on the market if you need contact photos.

Tether

For anyone needing wifi tether, you can use this:

http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-pre110.apk

Works perfectly for me if I have the droid 3 profile selected. This is without the radiocomm hack

[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
Anyone have this situation?
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
just a few issues so far:

1) volume rocker reversed

2) launcher fc's relatively frequently

3) 2 galleries installed

Great work, as always!
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Will this help keep the stock launcher in memory? Ive tried nova and its far to laggy for my liking.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
I haven't had any FC's with stock launcher or Nova Launcher since Ive been running CM9. I notice Nova is laggy and sometimes, the apps in the app drawer would be balled up together in the background. I love the stock launcher but i love the feature of resizing widgets and editing icons. So I am not using that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
I get constant force closes trying to scroll through the widgets which makes it un-usable. Looks like I need to start over 100% fresh. Time to fastboot! Gonna wipe everything including my sd cards because something isnt right.

I tried the above perimeters in RTB and it made everything more unstable than before and my phone is overheating. Gonna be a long night! lmao...

Might have to sit out a few builds till things get worked out. And I need to have a camera in the next few days so might just run stock.

UPDATE: Still having launcher issues. Scrolling through widgets goes from smooth to laggy and then the launcher crashes. Home screens are doing the same thing now too. Argg. Starting to seem more and more like a hardware issue, my phone is on fire.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Are you really going to wipe EVERYTHING including SD Cards?? that's extreme man! But I can understand because Im sure most of your info on the card is from GB and ICS is a totally different firmware. I'm interested in how that turns out for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Yeah everything.. lol. Fastboot is already done, now to root and install safestrap. Ill update this post.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
One note on the ICS install: during the initial setup when it asks: Restore settings from Google (or something like that). DONT CHECK this. It will restore GB settings to your ICS phone and cause bad things.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
2 galleries seems suspect to me. I only have 1. :/
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Should I report the bug about switching back to CDMA and not recognizing the SIM on bugzilla? Or is it noted ;)?
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Hmmm. Maybe THAT is my issue. I usually un-check that but the last 2 builds I've left it checked. Thanks for the heads up, future reference since I'm about to install ICS again (couldn't bare seeing blurry bread) Might want to put that in the OP?

EDIT: Does the alpha built include the updated SU/superuser?
[Motorola Droid 3] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah I'm going to add that to the OP over at DF. Good point Hashcode!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Since it's a known issue that we can't use the kernel module to load up wifi tether in the OS, I should just put this in the build.

Tested it and like you said it works perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The Alpha has the updated Superuser and su :)
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
Hashcode, this truely is amazing. Considering you started this topic November 29th, and in such a small amount of time you got it as far as it is now. Sure, it doesn't work 100%, but it sure is good enough for me to use it daily now.

You're a code ninja.
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
no 3g data

can't add new APN, after press save, nothing appear

tried replace with my worked apns-conf.xml, still no 3g data
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Try pressing reset default in apn settings it will reload new apnsconf
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
tried, seems no luck, nothing appear on the APN list and still no 3g data
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
FYI Verizon data may be down or otherwise broken at the moment. My GNex lost data at about 1am PST. I'm in California and have seen reports of it in NYC in the GNex forum. On the other hand my Xoom works fine on 3G at the moment (and I had it on WiFi). The Nexus won't connect even with LTE turned off and a reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] SomKen:
Verizon? If so, Verizon is having issues with their network right now. That could be the problem you're running into. I'd give it a few hours.

There's a post on Engadget right now saying people are having issues. If you check the VZW forums, other are also having issues.
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
i should have mention that im not in US, actually im at Hong Kong and just want to try if it is ok
[Motorola Droid 3] rufh_s:
any way i can un-check this afterwards? i did checked restore settings from google..anyways i do not see any issues so far, but just in case :)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Verizon is fine 7 A.M. here in Kansas.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I never check this, that is what TiBu is for. ;P
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Same here also in network Seven mode, in build.prop, keeps changing to CDMA (a three here solved that)

And ramdonly the call cant be heard from both parties :-(

Also it would be nice if i could change sdcard for a folder in EMMC so i dont have to steal my microsd from other devices to.try.. :-)

[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
It really does work great! I would love to see this in the next build. A word of advice for tweakers though... this (or any other tether app) will not work if you're overclocked, since the script tweaks the kernel. You have to revert to the stock speed to tether ... just in case anyone was having issues... :)

D3 CM9 Alpha 1
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Alpha #1 works great in the UK with GSM (t-moile and orange) - 3g data works, all without any uild.prop modifications or APN config.

This is now my daily driver. The only real annoyances are the lack of a camera, and the missing key etween 'v' and 'n', which is a real pain in the utt.
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
Thanks for the input. I have yet to make this rom work. I think my model is xt862, it says Verizon in the front so it should be the US Droid 3, right?. I'll continue testing later (I'll try redownloading just in case) and let you know how it goes.

Thank you everyone for your help and Hash for your work : )
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Did you read my post yesterday? You need to check the Md5 Sum, that's what it's there for. I'm willing to bet they're not a match. Try downloading over someone elses wifi or via 3G.
[Motorola Droid 3] firtermish:
I did read it, I just haven't found time yet to compare it with the one I have on my Droid 3's sdcard. Like I said I'll re download and re try tonight. Thanks for the input :) .
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Ah, I see. If you currently have a working rom download an app called ManD5, it's free and will give you file hash information.
[Motorola Droid 3] Eggathis:
i had this checked during the initial setup, and the only issues that ive had were a couple of few second system lockups followed promptly by a system crash/reboot (both incidents prolly spaced a few hours apart, and seemed to stem from the launcher app drawer), and some launcher fc's. i remedied the launcher by installing nova launcher, and its been running perfectly fine today... so far no lockups/crashes/reboots. if it happens again, ill prolly just wipe.

Edit: Excellent work, Hashcode. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] :
i have a question.

i have the alpha 1 installed and found a bug.

if you hold the droid 3 in landscape mode or play a game. then you have to touch with two fingers, the left side is not working or not so exactly. (sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand me...)

here is a video that i found with the bug:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYoxZiBTEA&feature=player_embedded

this issue is on the galaxy nexus too, is there a way to fix that ?

and sorry for off topic:

i am searching for a extended battery for my droid 3, have you any recommendations for me ?
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
GSM

asuming you are on GSM foreign SIM

i can help with that...

with ES file Explorer (or any root explorer) look for build.prop and change the

# Default network type.
# 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
ro.telephony.default_network=[B][SIZE="5"]7[/SIZE][/B]

to

ro.telephony.default_network=[B][SIZE="5"]3[/SIZE][/B]

which is UMTS/GSM value according to another mod for CM7

save and restart .

now cellphone should think you are in gsm mode and not Global.

ANOTHER METHOD

*#*#info#*#* and select GSM Auto(PRL). The phone will FC, and you'll probably want to reboot. But, that should bring up your connection.

also to note:

if you TRY to create an APN and the real MCC MNM or whatever doesn't not appear already then it means is not reading the sim right (my guess) and you cant save even if you write them

when i did this lil MOD it showed the correct values and let me save the APN

i also noted that this are the values 7 4 and 3 from the other method i posted :) so we know what those numbers mean

1 to 7 or 8 for unknown
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
I know it will be fixed on the next build, but anyone interested in fixing the volume keys for now can do the following:

Open /system/usr/layout/omap-keypad.kl in text editor with Root Explorer

Near the bottom of the list, flip-flop these two lines.

key 62 F4
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 113 MUTE
[COLOR="Red"]key 114 VOLUME_UP
key 115 VOLUME_DOWN[/COLOR]
key 139 MENU
key 167 MEDIA_RECORD
key 215 AT
key 217 SEARCH
key 231 CALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 232 DPAD_CENTER

Like so:

[COLOR="Green"]key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 VOLUME_UP[/COLOR]

Save and reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
An amazing build. Seriously. There are a few bugs that are either new, not known, or has been found by someone else.

The volume buttons are reverse (although the post before me fixes that)

Voice Search force closes (can be fixed by removing it from /system/apps and downloading the Gingerbread version from the market)

Soft key lights (sorta fixed by adjusting brightness)

Movie Studio seems to not work

Flash does not work in Opera, Dolphin and in the stock browser

Otherwise another amazing build!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
What a great temp fix till I can see why ICS's search isn't working. Adding this to the OP.
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
Doesn't seem to work for me. I renamed to the system/app to a .bak file, rebooted, then installed from the market, still get "Audio problem". :(
[Motorola Droid 3] sarreq:
I'm really loving ICS so far, except for one tiny thing. the location of the bookmarks button in the browser. why hide it in the tab management screen?
