Actually there is a Razr Dev Edition. Just got a response from Moto Europe. There is also a plan to launch it on the US.

Here is the link: http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/0...will-feature-unlocked-bootloader-in-europe-2/

Go to /system/etc/vold.fstab

Near the center this is what you should have:

# external sd card
dev_mount sdcard-ext /mnt/sdcard-ext auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
# internal eMMC
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 25 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

This is what you want:

# external sd card
dev_mount sdcard-ext /mnt/[B]sdcard[/B] auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
# internal eMMC
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/[B]sdcard-ext[/B] 25 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

That'll swap the "chosen" SD card.

And now the external is your primary.
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
You really don't want that. Even in Android 4.0, the API still only provides support for getting the location of a single storage location. It may be called "external storage" but what they're really talking about is "default user storage". If a device has internal user storage, the Android "where's my default storage?" API call should always reference it (rather than the external SD card). This is the case with all Android devices I have seen (with the exception of the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 1, which was one of the first dual-storage devices and had major problems as a result).

I have absolutely NO IDEA why this Android API has not been improved. It was readily apparent in early 2010, and by early 2011 it had become a relative nightmare. My file manager application has a large quantity of code to determine where storage is located on various devices, and none of this code should have ever been necessary to write.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Also, to kill apps, there's an option somewhere that allows you to long hold the back key to kill the foreground app.
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
It may not be perfect but its still better than ios in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Is anybody else getting an enormous amount of DiskCacheIndex#######.temp files on there SD card?
[Motorola Droid 3] tenchi19134:
I'm not seeing any problems whatsoever with changing my "default storage" to external. Everything is running perfect. For those who have all their music in their external, I recommend swapping those lines.

I've had it setup like this for three days.

If I find a problem with it I will post it immediately. Until then enjoy your music. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
The problem with that is that it breaks a ton of apps for people only using the internal storage. It defeats the purpose of having 16GB of built in storage.

Long press Home.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

I haven't gotten it working it myself, yet, but I saw some other ROM (don't remember which ROM or device) may have been mounting the external storage as a subdirectory of /mnt/sdcard (say, /mnt/sdcard/external for example), or at least symbolically linking it.

This may solve the issue of the Gallery and Music apps not indexing external storage, while also maintaining functionality of the internal storage for people not using an external SD card.

edit: I got it working. Mounted the external SD to /mnt/sdcard/external. I thought it wasn't working, went back and cleared data for Gallery and Music and it found the new mount point.

I don't know if that's how you want to do it Hashcode, but it seems like a viable option.

edit 2: Music and Gallery aren't too hot at updating if you remove/replace the external SD card. Definitely some kinks to work out there with media scanning.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Would you mind posting your edit here?
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
No problem.

In init.mapphone_cdma.rc and init.mapphone_umts.rc (in /system/etc/rootfs), change any reference to /mnt/sdcard-ext to /mnt/sdcard/external, like so:

export EXTERNAL_ALT_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard/external
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard

...

mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external 0000 system system

symlink /data/tmp /tmp
symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard
symlink /mnt/sdcard/external /sdcard-ext

In fstab.vold (in /system/etc) you want:

# external sd card
dev_mount sdcard-ext /mnt/sdcard/external auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
# internal eMMC
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 25 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

I've only checked it w/ TiBu, Gallery, and the stock Music app. Gallery & Music are a bit wonky on updating, even if you Force Stop and Clear Data. There's an SDrescan app in the Market that seems to take care of the Gallery & Music update shortcomings though.

[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Thanks, I will be tinkering with this tomorrow, oops, I mean later today.
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
I don't understand what the fuss about our sdcards.

/sdcard and /sdcard-ext is how stock d3 is. With no problems, I've got 16gn in and 16gb out.

Besides usb everything works perfect for me.

I'm not being a douche, I just want someone to explain to me (please) what the problem is?
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
I'm right there with you. I prefer the "stock" method (I have a 16GB installed as well) and I think the stock method benefits those who don't have an SDCARD to install. Internal storage is great and knowing the physical SDCARD can easily be removed without affecting the system is a bonus.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I like the idea of this solution the best so far. My only issue is that this may not work correctly once I get the mass_storage fix in place. I'll be testing it.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Since I brought it up, I will explain. It isn't the naming structure or being able to access them from root explorer or a pc. I too like the Moto naming style, but the problem (a minor one) is that there seems to be an issue with the way they are mounted in the system because apps like Gallery are only able to access one of them. Like I said, it isn't that big of a deal so I brought it up on this thread hoping someone with a little more knowledge could help me find a fix/workaround for it. I didn't think it was worth reporting in the bug tracker, Hashcode has enough to deal with as it is. That's why we have forums so we can all work on this stuff, however minor, and find solutions. Sorry for the longwinded explanation. :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I got anxious and tried this late last night and I must have typoed somewhere.....BRICKED! Should have got some sleep first.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Physician:
Does official Gtalk not work on this ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
Correct. It requires a camera and we don't have that working yet. Try xabber instead.
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
I didn't mean to imply things would go horribly wrong if someone wanted their device set up that way, just that the sensible default is to have the Android API return the internal storage as the default user storage location. Everyone has the internal storage, some people also have an SD card.
[Motorola Droid 3] pmafdahl:
Running ICS at 1.2ghz and it makes a difference. Response in general is nice and snappy. Quadrant tops out at 2700 in ICS, not quite up to par with CM7 at 3300, bit when graphics get ironed out watch out! Well done.

I know they're debuting the Razr with an unlocked BL. I was just saying, it's too bad the one he's getting has the locked BL.
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
He can always sell that and buy the developer one as i dont think hash would be too attached to a specific phone....... he has at least 3 :P

But now that i think of it...... how a unlocked device would help a the scene of the locked device???

[Motorola Droid 3] ssinisterss:
im waiting for hashcode to troll us with camera pictures and features.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Agree with above posts. There are already unlocked motorola devices ? Why will the razr help us ? Is it cause of the similar hardware?... and this camera wait is killing me lol. I check bak lik evry ten minutes hoping for an update
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
My thoughts for it helping is that it's going to be the most similar phone (that he has) that has an unlocked BL. As said before, the Razr, Bionic, and D3 are all quite similar. Additionally, since the Razr is on track to get ICS, he could possibly see how that kernel works with our hardware in an attempt to circumnavigate our locked BL. IIRC, he mentioned hitting issues because the software he was using was for a completely different camera.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I would completely agree with this IF Hash was getting a retail device that had it's bootloader unlocked by someone. The rumor is that there will be a new wave of "dev" Razrs shipping, without bootloaders... if that's the case, then buying a phone with no bootloader/ already unlocked, may not do much good for attemps to "reverse engineer" the process, and apply it to other phones. Since those devices will ship in an unlocked state, Moto COULD decide to include some different coding (I don't know, I'm not a dev, so I'm guessing wildly), that would make the new BL different than current ones... it's an interesting thought though...maybe one that deserves it's own thread though, so we aren't cramming Hash's spot with things that are unrelated to CM9 at the moment. :)

D3 CM9 Alpha6
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The way I look at it. I'm a dev on a locked bootloader phone. It doesn't help if I have an unlocked BL while everyone whose using the stuff I do is locked. Its just room for error.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
Would you just stop making sence all the time lol
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
This applies to me exactly. I don't have a deep knowledge of how it all works, I have an idea, but these are mostly just assumptions and guesses and a bit of wishful thinking. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I think most people are assuiming that having a unlocked bootloader is the same as having the key to the bootloader.... and I think when unlocking devices, moto doesn't send the key to the phone. But sends an updated bootloader already unlocked. So them unlocking a phone won't help us to unlock ours. Correct if I'm wrong though
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
Guys, there has been dev phones edition with unlocked bootloader for years.

It´s nothing new, lot of people in this forums has moto phones with unlocked BL.

Until now, there is nothing useful in the unlocked phone, for the locked ones.

Anybody having issues with A6 whenever you turn phone on it says android.phone stopped working, then when i unlock it says it again, then it does not come back up...also my headphones are not working, sound is just coming out of speakers instead....i did do a wipe before i installed to and i came from A5

This also fixes the 2 fc on startup for umts/gsm

I use my bluetooth stereo headset for music/talking all the time with this build and the only issue I have is when I turn it off I have to re-adjust the volumes to make calls it seems(i've tried a few times w/out and both speaker and mic were muted). Could just be something I'm doing when I have bluetooth on without even realizing.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Offtopic but can I delete this (on either ICS/gingerbread) to stop my phone from asking to switch to GLOBAL when I'm in an area with bad reception?

Move the file and Rename the file to .bak and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't then deleteing that file won't help.

Where is the flashable zip to fix exchange calendar, and other stuff on alpha 6? I'm loving loving ICS! This is my first time using it and plan to keep on it even if hash is still working on the camera!

Gotta have proper working exchange and calender for work tho.

Also, why is browser not pulling down my bookmarks frome chrome sync?
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
Was going to make a flash fix for the ex cal, but we have the issue fixed, not sure100% on what hash wants to do so I don't want to say to much, but for now look at one of my previous posts where I posted the manual fix.

Me and hash were gonna talk this weekend about a whole bunch of stuff to help the overall project but we were both busy with our families this weekend.

Anyone have some suggestions ?
[Motorola Droid 3] MNstan87:
Has anyone been having issues with autobrightness in Alpha 6? My screen seems to lock on at full brightness fairly often. Also, does anyone know if there is any setting for the browser for entering URL's? In the old browsers you could type in a URL from the home screen on the phone and hit enter and it would go straight to the page. In ICS, it takes you straight to a google search of that address and wastes data. If there aren't any settings for it, is it possible to flash the browser from CM7?
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Sorry, to sound like a complainer and ruin the "developers high", but the manual fix didn't work for me. At least I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. When I linked the account to the phone it was already set to push. I set it to never, synced, closed the app, then set it to push, synced and closed the app, and calender was still blank.

Do I need to fully remove the account, re-add it back with sync frequency of never, then change to push to get this working?
[Motorola Droid 3] bonesjones:
You need to look at my post #387

I post the fix with steps you will have to follow to fix the cal.

OMG, bluetooth headset sounds AWFUL! crackles and makes fuzz noise in background! People on other side can hear it too! Worked perfectly in Liberty.

Is this a known issue with a temp fix? I use my headset MOST of the time.

Also, turning on USB storage only shows external SDCARD. Internal doesn't show, did we have a fix for this as well.

Again, sorry to sound whiney, I really do appreciate your guy's work!

P.S. thanx for the calendar fix! I didn't realize it was that far back!
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Just an FYI for a lot of people (not just quoted poster)....but ALL the other ROMS for the Droid 3 are just made from the stock ROM. They remove some apps, add others, tweak the framework.....but it's all from the ROM that comes with the phone.

CM7/CM9 are being compiled from the source code from Google/CyanogenMod and a lot of things Hashcode is having to rewrite or at least edit to work with the Droid 3's hardware.

Plus CM9 is ICS (vs. Gingerbread) and Motorola hasn't released any ICS drivers/firmware for the Droid 3 to help Hashcode along....

Be patient, definitely don't compare what works/doesn't work with other ROMS built from the stock ROM. Make note of it, post "bluetooth headsets still have issues" but keep it informational about this ROM only.
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
Yep, comparing a modded rom to a custom rom, is a least, disgusting.

It´s an alpha, guys, deal with it. Help to report bugs, create logcats, instead of telling how bad it works.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
+1 .....
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
I'm fully aware of what an "alpha" is and the difference of "alpha, beta, release candidate, and release". I've been using linux for a long time. This is nothing new.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just using it as a reference to allow people to know there is no issue with the headset itself and that is has worked before on the same phone. I'm not "comparing" ROMS per say, but validating that the issue does exist for ICS and is not related to my bluetooth headphones. ;) As for the extra added emotion, Sorry, I was born a little dramatic. I was genuinely surprised about the bluetooth issue.

I can add, that they do work and they do pair. They just have constant crackling while in a phone call.

So for reference, the issues I'm having on a fresh install of alpha6 are as follows:

bluetooth headset has crackling noise

Google sync will not sync browser and claims sync is experiencing problems.

exchange/calender isn't working properly (even after "fix", exchange keeps FCing)

Open gallery and going into settings shows a blank page.

Camera is a known issue.

Phone FCing is fixed by removing or renaming GlobalNwSwitch.apk

FYI, wifi_tether_V3_1-* is in /system/app twice. don't know if there is a reason for that, but figured it was notable. * = beta11.apk and pre110.apk

I'm not a dev... I just wish I was so I could help more :( If you would like logs over any of the issues above I can induce the problems and gather logs right after. I'm getting into the game a little late so I'm not sure what is needed. Sorry.
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
It´s ok darksurf, it´s for everyone reading this thread :)

This rom is not for daily use, it´s just a "preview" of what ics should looks like. If hash made this alph publics, Im pretty sure that it´s because people could help with testing/debugging.

Missing calls, missings sms, sound not working, BT problems, WIFI disconnecting, etc. All are expected on an alpha.

As you see with wifi_theter, other apps are duplicated. I guess they will be there until people reports which one works better.

For anyone interested in reporting bugs.... logcats aren´t hard to do. Lots of apps shows on market when searching for logcat. "alogcat" is an usual one. App just run on background.

When you are experiencing some weird behavior, just open logcat and you´ll see lot of red lines, then hit save. It will be saved as txt. Send txt to a dev or just paste it on sites like pastebin.com Thats all. Also if logcat is too long, just open the file on a txt editor, and delete irrelevant log.

Just another fyi, liberty is built from CM7.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
No its not, It says it is a "blur based" ROM. It may have certain features that CM7 has but its not "based" from it. At least I don't think so. All liberty builds are made from the stock ROM source. Correct me if i'm wrong though. But liberty isnt exactly AOSP as is CyanogenMod..
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
You are correct. Only some of the apps are built from CM source, the ROM is made from the stock ROM that comes with the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Ok sorry:-) I guess I misunderstood that.
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
Only cm6/7/9 and miui are custom roms.

Others are just modded.

If liberty is based on cm7, cm7 should work as good as liberty on D3. As simple as that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I believe liberty is blurbased, with as much aosp added as possible
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Well as far as I know the dev(s) tried to base everything from a Droid X port of CM7 using as much aosp as possible but essentially it's still based off of the blur system.
