Old ROMbot resurrected for another day or 2 while we get the new and improved one online:

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/solana/cm9/

There's a new build as of 4/17 for you guys.
[Motorola Droid 3] micron:
Hows the bluetooth progress going?

Great job on the rom, loving it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I might sound like a d1ck, but, what exactly is the difference between the latest nightly and the BETA #2/3 from 1 month ago? Ever since the switch to nightlies was made I've lost track of whats going on. When the beta was released there were bluetooth and hwcodec/videorecording issues. It seems they're still there?

When I check twitter or topics it seems most work is for kindlefire or razr or droid 4. Is hwcodecs/videorecording/bluetooth for droid 3 still being worked on? If so are we talking days, weeks, months?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] The_Joe:
First, I would modify the end of your post. Sounds ungrateful and you will be flamed. Asking for ETAs is strictly against the rules. I know how you mean it, but others will not be so polite.

Nightlies just mean that every night tiny bugs are being fixed/optimized. Each one is supposedly a bit improved. Bluetooth I believe is close to being worked out, the others I have no idea.

Change in build.prop changes from Post#2

But not work GSM .

Bluetooth work Music play to handset .

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well, I know my post may seem impolite, but it's not meant that way.

I was just wondering what's changed since the beta from more than a month ago - and the latest nightly. The changelog doesn't really make any sense to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Check this and make sense of it. Only the /frameworks/base, /vendor/AOKP, and /solana portions apply to us, I believe.

by the way I missed up and restore my gapps and stuff when I log in my phone and all it did was download all the apps I had before and my phone still works fine on the ics rom so I'm asking what is the big deal on tilling us to not to restore em even tho it worked out good for me it may not ever agen or even work with no one else but it work fine this time so how come?
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Its not so much the apps, its more for not letting your phone restore all your GB setting and what not. It could corrupt files on your phone.

[Motorola Droid 3] SS2006:
Anyone know when the video camera is gonna be fixed
[Motorola Droid 3] pm2gonzales:
I have not had this problem. Try force stopping it/restart phone. If it still happens, try using Root Browser.

Probably not anytime soon. Video requires a good portion of HW codecs to be functioning, which may not even come to pass because of limited access to the phone. Droid 4 is more likely to have it than we are, unless someone manages to get kexec working properly or Motorola throws us a bone by unlocking the bootloader.

GB to ICS CM9?

I am running stock GB on my D3. Can I go strait from GB to ICS/CM9 or do I need to upgrade to ICS first and then install the CM9 ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
You will need to root and install cm9. Official ICS has not been released (and for the D3, probably never will be). Do you have the Verizon version (XT862) or the XT860?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Signed...good to see so many people getting behind this! I didn't know there were 10,000 Droid 3 owners on the planet, let alone 10,000 who are pissed off about the bootloader, lol. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Use Safestrap, backup your current GB system, then flash CM9 on the Safe System. There is no ICS upgrade/update for the D3, so a custom ROM is the only way to get it. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] PEZ Dispenser:
I have the Verizon version XT862 and oops, I guess it is not "stock". I am rooted and have CWM droid 3 recovery installed. As I'm looking around I'm noticing that Safestrap might be a better recovery option.

[Motorola Droid 3] rquinn19:
Is there any benefit in updating on these nightlies? I can't find a real change log anywhere.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Lol the changelog is extremely descriptive. If you want actual feature changes just go to aokp.co and look at that. Our nightlies are updated within a day or two of their release. Just remember we dont have hw codecs so those features wont be on ours

Wow im done this is cm9

Just go to rombot and click the changelog link
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
For XT860 users, here is a bit updated build.prop - you still need the libmoto_ril.so from the ICS patch
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Lol, agreed! Unfortunately, I'm fed up with Moto. The only thing they have over the competition is build quality, and I'm ready to sacrifice that in the pursuit of a better overall experience. My next phone will be a Nexus (whatever is planned after the GNex)...I just hate having to wait to use my phone the way I want it... between xda and Droidhive, the D3 has a better development team than Moto does, apparently! Hashcode and company are the only reason my D3 isn't sitting at the bottom of a lake somewhere, lol.

My rule of thumb is; if you find a nightly that works for you, don't bother upgrading, until a major change comes along. I was using the 3-30 build of AOKP until Milestone 5 was integrated...then I flashed the 4-30 build, and everything's fine. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
I completely agree with this, I have been on the April 17th CM9 build and have had no need to upgrade and probably won't until something significant is updated.

[Motorola Droid 3] amaroth:
am i good with a march 20 build? should i flash a newer one?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Match 20th is a bit old (probably still on the 4.0.3 base), and I'm sure a ton of new things have been added since then....I would suggest an update, but check the changelogs for relevant information, and look for info on bugs, so you know what to expect. If the 3-20 build is working perfectly for you, make a backup, so you can go back to it if you're not happy with newer builds.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
I see that according to Hash's twitter, vendor proprietary files have been updated. Exactly what does this mean for the rom?

Sent from my SuperCharged Droid 3 using CM9
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
It depends really... the files may be libs, or other files that were missing, and could have been affecting performance (so you could see some noticeable difference), or they could be files that the end user will/would never know are/were in place. Make a backup, flash it, and see how you like the new build. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
Alright, sounds good. I will flash it when I get a chance. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
In this case, I took the updated files from the official soak test (906) and pushed them up so that they are used in the D3 cm/aokp builds.

Jhiza has the right of it, sometimes you'll see minor improvements here and there. Will need some input as to how much of a difference the new binaries make.

NOTE: CM9 has added back in the theme system, and I merged that into last nights build as well. And updated the CM release tools -- flashing zips now tries to keep your gapps in place. So from the 5/7 build on, if you have gapps installed and don't need to update them, then don't re-flash gapps after flashing the rom.zip. THIS IS ONLY A CHANGE FOR CM9.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
This sounds promising! I don't know when I will get to downloading and flashing it, pretty busy with work and my 3 kids at home, but I will post feedback afterwards.

Edit: Would I need to update my phone to the [OTA LEAK] DROID 3 (XT862) 5.7.906 Update from Staging Server posted here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1528773 - I don't like the idea of there not being a way back to stock.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
^^Agreed! The addition of the theme engine is a game-changer, and the updated .906 binaries are an awesome inclusion as well. Looks like I have more testing to do! Great job Hash...you continue to keep our D3s as awesome as they can be! Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Fired up the May 7 build this afternoon, and the only real weirdness I'm seeing is with Superuser. I'm getting waaaay more requests than I should be (for example when using Titanium backup to restore apps it asks about 7 times if I should allow it). Any ideas on that one?

Seems like an old problem has popped back up again - on GSM phones, the number of signal bars was always half (or so) what it should be, but the solution in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1326310.html) worked to fix it, but doesn't do so anymore. The problem is that when I have 2 bars displayed, my phone keeps bouncing between 2G and 3G networks. Not a huge deal, but slightly annoying.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
GSM signal indicator shows 2 bars, but if you check signal strength, you'll see it reads zero. This is known bug on all D3 ROM's with ICS, hopefully devs will figure it out somehow soon.
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Gotcha, didn't realize it was a well-known bug. I've been running Gummy 0.93 (?) for the last month or so, and it wasn't present there, so must be in more recent builds. What can you do.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
Just flashed the May 7 build as well, but I am not having the same Superuser problems. Everything seems to be running smoothly on first glance. If I encounter any problems, I will post them. Thanks and keep up the great work Hash!

[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
In my case at least, I have SU set to auto-allow because prompts just got redundant for programs like TiBu, Wifi Tether, etc. I know what's installed on my phone and trust what I have. It's not like I'd be doing anything differently even if I side-loaded an unknown app requesting root access. I want to use it/test it/try it/whatever, I'll grant it rights to do this, so why even bother with prompts?
[Motorola Droid 3] amaroth:
gotta be careful man.. i couple updates back a golden 1 app (my bank) kept popping up with a superuser allow promt. Always had to deny it. They fixed it in a newer update tho. But having auto allow is kinda scary. U better know what you are downloading.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I was having a similar experience, where everytime I would run root explorer or TiBu, it would ask for root access even though I told it remember. I went into super user and updated the binary (even though it's up to date) and it seems to no longer ask for permission everytime now. Not sure if it's a fix, but it's working for me now.

I like the 5-7 nightly. The lock screen shortcuts are great! Everything seems good so far :)
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
^^ I can confirm that updating the su binaries does seem to clear up any issues with excessive permission prompts. Thanks for the heads up!
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Bullseye, that did it for me too! No more worrying about having auto-allow enabled. Ditto to the lock screen shortcuts being a great feature - used these in Gummy and would have a hard time going back.

This build is super solid - great work Hash (and everyone else working on CM9 I suppose)!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
So I'd like to update my the OP and my blog with a solid stable build which includes the Theme Engine. Should I use tag the 5/8 nightly?
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
I say yes
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
If it's basically the 5/7 build with the theme engine added, I would say yes as well. Solid.
[Motorola Droid 3] ve6rah:
I missed 5/8, but 5/10 seems to be working pretty well for me so I'd say go for it.

Only things I've noticed not working right at the moment are:

- Camera (rear camera works fine for pictures, but trying to use either front camera, or video not only crashes the camera app, but also cause an inability to use the camera app again until rebooting the phone)

- Dialler app (this one's weird, works fine, but exits immediately after dialling a number, leaves the call running though so you can continue talking, you just have to find the call in the tray to get back in to control it)

- Haven't tried bluetooth at all, so can't comment on it.

EDIT: the dialer problem was in fact due to having the wrong SIM chip, once I upgraded to a V3 SIM the dialler problem was solved.

That said, I did try the bluetooth, and it's hopeless for my use. The phone can see other devices, but they can't see the phone, and enabling it stops your call audio from working (known issue)
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
That problem with the dialer is not a ROM problem. It is baseband problem. I bet you use a XT860 on TELUS in Canada with V1 or V2 SIM. Go get yourself a V3 (lte) SIM and problem will be gone.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
I really like the latest build. Seems better on battery too. I am using XT860 with manual GSM adjustment, slightly less intrusive than Ricks patch which modifies build.prop in a sort of dirty way plus replaces framework.jar for some reason. I manually modified build.prop comparing the original XT860 one and the one from D3's CM9, it is only 5-6 lines that need to be added or changed. Also put libmoto_ril.so from the patch and all is good.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
I think this build is very solid.

There is def an issue with wifi and 4g data, my data will die and it simply will not work, until I turn off wifi, then it kicks right in, its happened exactly like that 3 times on the 4-8 build, nit big deal, but maybe something you can track down.

< is what goes out and > is what replaces it. This patch can be followed to update future releases of the file (so versioning and everything else remains intact).

I am attaching the actual build.prop from May 10 build to the post too.

The other change I did is to upload libmoto_ril.so in /system/lib that I took from Rick's patch to /system/lib. Don't forget to set permissions properly for it:

chmod 644 /system/lib/libmoto_ril.so

After those two changes - reboot the phone. Make sure you are in GSM/WCDMA mode from settings. If you are coming from data wipe, it should default to that. CM9 already has pretty extensive APN config file built in and you should be all good.

Aside from signal indicator not displaying properly, I haven't seen other ill effects. Phone is running on Rogers Canada.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Will this work on T-Mobile?
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
If you use XT860, yes. But it will be 2G only.
[Motorola Droid 3] ve6rah:
Yes, but it all depends how you define "4G" a little while back Canadian carriers decided to call anything more than 3G "4G", so what used to be called 3G+ (which is what these phones do) is now called "4G" even though it's not really the old 4G definition.

As for this build, really quite happy with it, though I am curious as to what the roadmap is going forward. What are the priorities as the next step? is it likely we'll see some of the big known issues addressed soon (like camera, codecs, and bluetooth)? or are those still pretty big hurdles to need tackle?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
No I mean for the 862.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I second above above [double there on purpose] post. I havent seen anything regarding fixes in a long time. Is it because they have just focused on nightlies now? Or those hurdles pretty much it
[Motorola Droid 3] The_Joe:
(Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I am NOT an expert.)

My understanding is that the reason these hurdles are not being dealt with is that we have gone just about as far as developers can go. These problems more or less exist across all Motorola phones running ICS.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, if Motorola unlocks the bootloader (I wont really pretend to know what that means, just know its the problem) OR if Motorola releases a stock ICS phone, then we may see significant gains. For now, I dont think there is much hope at all.

That said, Hashcode has done a huge amount! Was not that long ago BT and camera didnt work at all, now we just have BT unreliability, and no camcorder. That is impressive progress when you consider he has a JOB and a FAMILY.
