[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
Awesome to know, thanks.

So I'm guessing Eclipse is the best choice if I undo all the overclocking right? Then it should be extremely stable and still run (at least) as good as stock right? And at least more stable than stock GB, because it has a lot of problems as it is. right? Just today my mother was telling me her phone reset in the middle of her using it. I really want her phone to have as little issues as possible but not take forever to respond.

Also for future reference, I know the stock frequency of the CPU is 1GHz but what is the stock frequency for the GPU?
[Motorola Droid 3] fatfishycell:
Cm7 is still my favorite rom, even over cm9 it is just has way more polish, like render filters and phone blacklists all I missed on cm9. I also prefer the copy paste on gb vs ics. Really who wants to try and remember what a bunch of obscure icons mean.

I hope this means that cm7 on d3 will get a working stock cam, front facing cam support and vid rec and maybe a little oc, really all its missing.

I just switched from mav rom to the older release of cm7, so I think I'll give eclipse a whirl while I wait for some new cm7 nightlies.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Liberty would be best because it is super stable and gets good battery life. You can tweak it with the v6 script and it works good. I only use Eclipse since it is being updated and feels smooth. And the stock gpu frequency is 250 MHz I believe.
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Wouldn't changing 384 million to 250 million be underclocking the gpu?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
It kind of scares me that it isn't being updated anymore though. I'm actually still leaning towards Eclipse, unless it is less stable than stock (hard to believe) or has some known issues that you can inform me of. And if I go with Liberty, I can install some third party launcher right? Because they don't really like that tiny Phone-Menu-Browser dock at the bottom of the stock GB look.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Yeah you can install whatever launcher. And as far as "underclocking", I think that is stock speed.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
Oh, another question I have is would I be able to go back to stock? I've only personally owned HTC phones and I think they are a bit different in terms of the unlocking and romming process.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Yeah there is a sbf you can flash.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
Hm, so is Eclipse just on it's own launcher? Could the launcher from Eclipse work with Liberty?

By the way, thank you all so much for the help and info. I like to get as informed as possible before doing anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
So I've seen some people say that Liberty has pretty bad battery life, which will definitely push me to Eclipse, unless anywhere here tells me it's either equal to Eclipse, or if Eclipse has worse battery life.

Once again, I appreciate all your guy's help very much! It's been informative.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I get better battery life in Liberty but the trick is you gotta close apps like fb or Words with Friends. Those if left running will suck battery. Words killed my phone in two hours. I go to settings and force it closed. V6 for Liberty will help.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Liberty has fine battery life, even with it overclocked however you have to make a fix to framework-res.apk otherwise it reports the battery stats wrong. And I know this has been gone over before but mr. obvious I dont know why you have issues with Facebook but I never have to force close it. Its one of the lowest battery users
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I don't know either but I can always tell the difference. It isn't just this phone either but every Android device I have ever had has been bad. If I don't have it running I can last with the phone above 50% at 5 when I get off work but if I leave it open I have to charge it. I think it is using Internet in the background.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Very odd. My phone is at 50% right now after 12 hours. My phone syncs whenever it wants(battery saver deactivated) and Facebook has used so little battery it doesn't even register on the battery stats.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
with a few edits to the build.prop and framework-res.apk liberty was a decent rom with respectable battery life..i also never had to fc anything but as we know each d3 has a mind of its own lol...

to judge eclipse vs. liberty in terms of battery life you would need to use the non oc'd version of eclipse and i would have to say that liberty would still win..

but performace wise eclipse would smack the hell out of it..

only prob with liberty is the rom is outdated and unsupported..

did someone mention sbf? lol xda gotcha covered lol :good:
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I wonder what my problem is. Are you overclocked in any way?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I just realized it may be my battery. I have had this phone almost a year.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Ya im running at 1.2 but I use cpu profiles in rom toolbox to limit it to 600 when the screen is off.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Hmm. What all tweaks have you done exactly? I may try that but I will do 1.1 because my phone doesn't seem to do 1.2 very well
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I just pulled it out of eclipse 3.0 and stuck it in liberty. 3 files from /system/lib/modules and the 98 tweaks in init.d
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
I kicked my down to 300 with screen off
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I had tried 300 sometime ago and had issues with it not waking up. That was awhile ago though. I suppose I could try 300 again
[Motorola Droid 3] djar:
I experienced an other problem.

As you know, the phone force close bug can be worked around by enable roaming data.

But after doing this, you're not able to access the System seetings > more > mobile networks menu. it force closes the com.android.phone.

Is there already another workaround for the phone fc bug?
[Motorola Droid 3] 100%digital:
ICS/CM9 development status

what key issues effect this ROM? I'm thinking about picking one up -but only if i could run ics, more specifically aosp ics...

many thanx for info regarding this rom's usability.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I recommend choosing the droid4 (if you want keyboard) or another phone that is atleast in plans of getting official ICS.

Althought there have been many many breakthroughs, video codes and other issues are not working right with this ROM. Making the video recorder, some videos, flash, chrome, bluetooth, and more not work.
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
Occasional Bluetooth issues (especially that no sound will play through the phone's speakers while Bluetooth is on without anything connected) and lack of hardware codecs, which means no video recording, no Flash Player, certain apps possibly not functioning correctly, etc.. Overall, it's good if you don't care about the lack of hardware codecs and you don't use Bluetooth. I use it as my main ROM, but the lack of hardware codecs does sometimes bother me (and because of it I'm probably switching to the Droid 4 or Droid Razr this week because they're at least getting an official ICS release).
[Motorola Droid 3] 100%digital:
Many thanks for both your inputs, droid 4 is a sick handset but for the extra 150.00 (even second hand -ebay)...i couldn’t care less about blue-cabbage, but the codec indifferences isn’t good, not being able to shoot/playback video sucks... I thought the upgrade path for droid 3 and 4 we're both to include ics?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
No, droid 3 was on list just to check and see if they approved, they didn't... you can playback videos, just not record, panorama pics, and use some camera relatedc software.
[Motorola Droid 3] Mibuix0r:
Where are official version?

I am having severe battery drain issues and I was going to reload the rom when I realized that it isn't on the downloads section of hash-of-codes. I can only find the unofficial releases and they aren't working very well for me. Does anyone know where to get the 3-11 version or know an unofficial release that works? The link sent me here to download BTW http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/solana/cm9/
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Seriously folks, I was a huge moto fan for so long but after getting my hands on the Galaxy Nexus...never anything else again!
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
I played around with a Galaxy Nexus before, but I wasn't too impressed with it in comparison to Moto's phones. Sure, it's a "pure" Android experience without as many restrictions, but Motorola makes some damn nice products. So I went with the Razr today, and I don't regret it. The ICS update should be coming for it soon, and I'm impressed with how well Motorola got Blur to work with ICS. It's not impeding on it at all, and I think I even prefer it to the stock ICS launcher.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrPib:
Thanks to all that answered this guy's question. With Verizon's new policy of having to dump (grandfathered) unlimited data in order to get a subsidized phone upgrade, I think that a lot of us will be looking into used phones.

And coming from a Droid 2 running CM9, I'd only upgrade to another phone that runs it.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Ouch....should've gone with the nexus....I thought the same thing..but nexus is way better.. .I'm even running 109% stable jelly bean right now...its amazing
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
Like I said, I wasn't impressed with the Nexus. I love the Razr, it has ICS and Motorola's modifications for it were definitely for the better. Without any modifications, my phone scores higher than the Nexus on Antutu (not by a lot, but it can consistently score higher than it). The only thing I find worse about the Razr in comparison to the Nexus is the screen, but I'm not bothered by the difference because the screen on the Razr is still great anyways. I don't really care that the Razr doesn't have Jelly Bean yet since it hasn't even been released yet, so I'll wait until Google irons all the final kinks out of it and releases the source for some developers to get it working, and perhaps for Motorola to make an official update.

This is a matter of preference, really. You like your Nexus more, I like my Razr more. One is not simply better than the other, it all comes down to the user. I would not want a Nexus, while you on the other hand would not want a Razr.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
any ideas how to insert this

or this

into ICS rom installed with safestrap?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
The instructions are in the first post of each thread you just showed
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
i thought that if i use safestrap, that instructions somehow change. so safetsrap uses the same system/app folder as normal ROM. thanks: )
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Yea
[Motorola Droid 3] Calen77:
Hello!

It´s true, with my Brazilian Milestone 3 (XT860) it´s the same thing.

If I put it to English, and then I can see and edit the network menu, but in Portuguese always the system crash and appears the same message.

But I put this here for other reason.

Some months ago I always install the AOKP or AOSP and before the WIPE I installed theRick´s patch for the non Verizon’s phone and all was fine.

But now,with the new versions, I try to modify the /system/build.prop like the first post shows and nothing. I try toenter*#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and I change for all options and nothing, with last try I use again the Ritchie´s patch and nothing.

In the network menu the phone look all options, and the list of al operators is listed (2g and3g), but when I chose every one the phone show a message that my Sim Card is not supported.

Then after a lot of time looking for a solution I read in a Brazilian forum one patch: ICSptbr_patch and I made a last try. For my surprise in this time all the things are working, all the operators in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are supported.

Now I will go to prove the 3g in URUGUAY, because in some images like the Solana umts iusacell2.3.6 or Claro 2.3.6 Argentina I never can save an access point, but I modify the buil.prop and the other files in ETC and LIB and I can save the access points in Liberty rom, like all the others rom (maverick, eclipse…)... why in iusacell don´t works and in liberty works ?

If someone has the same issues with a XT860 in the AOSP, only install this file: ICS ptbr patch before the wipe and enjoy the new versions of the Android ICS´s ROMs.

Thanks for all the support in this site, everyone here makes the difference.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
I love my nexus and all..but for some reason can't help still having feelings for my d3..will definitely try kexec.
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
Same here, I regret jumping to the Razr so quickly after seeing that kexec is finally getting worked on and making some progress. From what I understand, we still won't have a complete ICS, but it should help at least.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
So I recently discovered that there are ICS roms that work perfectly on the Original Galaxy S for AT&T (Samsung Captivate). The phone has the same amount of ram as the Droid 3.

So why does the Droid 3 have such a hard time? I borrowed my friend's captivate and tried 2 different ICS roms so far, and they have been extremely smooth and everything works flawlessly.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
As I understand it has to do with motorolas proprietary code in the kernel. Ducati needs 1GB ram. Hashcodes site has the full explanation. I'll find the linl
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
So the real challenge is making a custom kernel without the limitations then, right?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
You accidentally posted twice, but in case you didn't see my reply:

That means the real challenge is making the kernel without the limitations right? Or is that not possible.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Ya I think they're trying to find a replacement for Ducati. It kinda goes past my tech level
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
This is why we don't have official ics, however this was posted before the latest burst of development on kexec, so we're not really sure if this will succeed or not but it's looking hopeful
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
I guess we can only hope for the best then, and until then use GB Roms with a ICS launcher. I really hope they manage to pull it off though!
[Motorola Droid 3] edmann:
I am doing nightlies and last week my battery was down pretty quickly and was pretty warm. What I did was go into Safestrap and clear battery stats. That cure it for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
I wonder with the new kernel (when its done) if cm9 will turn into cm10..wouldn't that be stellar..
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
Here's a test build of it here, just stumbled upon it while checking out the new safestrap hashcode released, one person noted it was fast on his twitter feed but I am not venturous enough at this time to try it. It's under Solana if you do not know what the phone name is.

http://rombot.droidhive.com/testroms/
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I'm excited about this new development, but the test rom area is password protected :(

Guess I still gotta wait to see all the new goodies. Oh, well...I can be patient. But I am pumped to see this shiny, new ROM update

I didn't see any info about it on his blog. Just one tweet about needing new safestrap to try the kexec build...!!!!!11

woot!
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
Well that stinks, I was about to say screw it and try it myself lol. I guess good things come to those who wait.

I'm running the newest nightly build and I must say these guys have strait outdone themselfs with this 4.0.4 25th of last month build anyway its legit and very stable still waiting for overclock any way good work guys
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
I've been running the 8/6 kexec build since it was uploaded. Its a great work in progress. Camera is back to not working, and it hangs up when opening some apps, and its got this great random reboot thing goin on... but I recon in a few more weeks, it will be pretty smooth sailing. Hashcode is a helluva guy. Keep yer chins up, its looking to be a good fall for the D3!
[Motorola Droid 3] amedeh123:
Its already possible to overclock on non-kexec builds with opptimizer
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
FYI: Fixed the links in the OP to account for the new home of files.rombot.org where the files are located.

Also, support for this build is mostly done as we are moving to the new KEXEC alpha. But I wanted to make sure that the links were still valid.
[Motorola Droid 3] theGekkoST:
Learned that the hard way yesterday. Took my like 5-10 min of restarting my phone before I realized it might have something to do with the Bluetooth being turned on but not connected.

As for Flash I do get audio but no video (kinda pointless in that respect) and can only do audio recording through the Catch app but not Evernote or other dedicated audio recording programs.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
Then how can catch app record audio while bluetooth is on? We might be able to find a clue to fix this lingering bugs!
[Motorola Droid 3] bayaku:
Hello friends, this ROM is stable? Can be used daily? 3G is working? Have Portuguese language?

Thanks, Mateus.
[Motorola Droid 3] PEZ Dispenser:
Did anyone ever get the video camera going on this rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
Has ROM development been stopped on this build? Is this ICS ROM stable enough for normal use? Read that the camera doesn't work properly... has this been fixed?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Yes, development is now focused on the kexec builds which allow for a newer kernel meaning better hardware compatibility. Unfortunately camera still doesn't work but it may someday.
[Motorola Droid 3] theGekkoST:
I've been using this ROM for about 10 months now, and the camera has always worked for me with no problems. Do you possible mean the camcorder? because that does not work.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
He's referring to the new kexec kernel
[Motorola Droid 3] JasonOT:
I'm not sure I'd want redundant buttons taking up screen real estate. What I would like is to be able to remap the search button to function as the recent app button, or perhaps making it so a double tap on Home brings up the Recent Apps (instead of viewing the homescreens like many launchers do). Though I guess my latter desire may be more of a launcher issue than an ICS issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cameron6472:
I get this weird bluish flash when I lock my screen in landscape mode. Anybody know the cause or have the same issue?
[Motorola Droid 3] sarreq:
that's generally a problem with people texting me from T-Mobile, no matter what phone or ROM I'm using
[Motorola Droid 3] sarreq:
that's a feature of ICS, it's disabled if you use one of the secure lockscreens.
[Motorola Droid 3] sarreq:
o0

the whole point of the onscreen buttons is so hardware makers can eliminate hardware buttons, if you've already got hardware buttons, there's no real point in the onscreen ones. EXCEPT for full 360º screen rotation, hardware buttons can be confusing upsidedown or sideways
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Quick status update for Alpha #5:

- There is a USB wakelock bug that I'm working feverishly to track down and any and all help I can get on it would be appreicated. Here's how to see it: plug your phone in to the computer via USB. check this file: /proc/wakelocks It has a "usb" line and watch the total_count shoot up like crazy every few seconds. I need to know what process is holding the wakelocks before I can troubleshoot it. But, I have a feeling this is yet another side affect of our Motorola-specific android usb gadget interacting w/ ICS. In general you should be using the dual SD card fix from Dri's thread if that works:

- I had already turned off the slide to unlock hard keyboard feature, but after reading some of the responses and then seeing that if you use a secure lockscreen the behavior changes-- I changed it back t the way it is now.

- I re-setup default backlight values for the various light sensor values in the config.xml as will5's suggestion was right on the money. I didn't set the very last value to 255 however so that in bright light your keyboard/capacitive keys won't be backlit.

- Fixed the net stats module for a plethora of bugs, ranging from foreground net use vs. background use showing up, and packets/bytes were reversed in some cases which would end up causing a crash in that screen after a few weeks. It should play nicer with others now.

- I'm using a new version of the older version 6 formatting for the apns-conf.xml file. It's a "large style" file from CM's prebuilts for Gingerbread. I'm hoping to pick back up the service for those that lost it in alpha 3/4, while keeping the 3G service for everyone else. Verizon defaults are still in place for the US users.

- I need logcats of the GSM phone FC's so that I can fix them.

- I'm looking at recoding some of the apk's from the stock ROM to handle some things like: Dock Audio, HDMI, PIN Code Entry for SIM cards, etc. I'd like your feedback on which to do first -- I'll probably toss up a new blog post and you can weigh in.. how does that sound?

- Changed the secondary sd card environment var in init.rc as mentioned by Voltage Spike. (SECONDARY_STORAGE) This fixes the display of TiBu and some other apps. Gallery still has issues, use QuickPic till I can find a suitable fix for the stock Gallery and the external SD card.

- I have 6 of 9 of the kernel modules needed before I can do some "proof of concept" testing on the camera. Thank you for the patience; it's a *****.

- I haven't had time to dig into the Bluetooth subsystem. I feel like it's basically broken for legacy audio atm. But, I need to take a look around and see how other phones are setting it up.

[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Hey guys, hopefully one of yall can answer my question. Why cant we simply look at the source code of other motorola ICS ports that are working to help us get codecs going? Since there motorola wont it help figure out how to get it working on the droid3?
[Motorola Droid 3] hemirunner426:
From what i understand:

It has to do with the droid 3's kernel. ICS has a few new virtual devices to handle video codecs/camera and it also sounds like there are some new open gl extensions in the video drivers too. There are probably a good sized list of new extensions/devices in ICS that are not supported by our kernel. The best we can do (which is what hash is working on) to code kernel modules that "translate" ICS calls to something which the gingerbread kernel can execute.

I'm assuming the video drivers are built into the kernel, so a module would not work in this instance. The ICS open gl extensions would have to be translated to supported extensions. This is probably the main reason why Trebuchet has been dev'ed on so heavily.

I was hoping with the leak of the ICS build for the XOOM, hash could gain some ideas. However, they have the luxury of an unlocked bootloader and now an official motorola ICS kernel.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
All of the working moto ports have updated kernels iirc.

[hemirunner426 explains it better]

The video codecs aren't built into the kernel persay but the new mechanism for reaching them (via duacti) is now in the kernel.
