[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I think we are growing restless waiting for an update. Lol. Personally if you wipe and don't let Google restore your settings it is very stable. I really haven't had any issues honestly and everything I use is working just fine outside of the keyboard backlight and camera. :) Hash is doing an amazing job.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
So in the twitter feed it said he is looking for a solution for stock and ics camera. If he can only get stock, will we still get the zero shutter lag of ics ? Or is that feature only for select phones anyways ?
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Last tweet of his I saw was him playing with the razr and having it boot ics
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Correction. He said he spent 6 hours last night trying to get the camera to work. Dang man. He's doing so good, I hate it to be this stubborn.
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
I've been having the FC on boot problem, and the temp fix you posted doesn't seem to help.
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Is it a known issue that ADB isn't working? I haven't testing on my linux machine.. which I usually do, but today on my windows machine. the computer isn't recognizing my D3 which is in Debugging mode. I've only tried over USB, I haven't tried over the network yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
pretty sure the zero shutter lag only pertains to the ICS camera. If the stock camera works then itll be the STOCK camera, lag and all. lol. The ICS camera is different. So im sure if thats woking it'll have no shutter lag cause it was programmed to have no lag. =)

I think..
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Thanks :] that makes perfect sense. Was hoping it was in the os code and not the camera app but oh well. I can't wait for either to be done
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
Is this working well with the chrome beta?
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
It understandably took a long time to install. No issues to report so far, working well.

Edit: Pages don't show, but browser seems to work...
[Motorola Droid 3] neonerz:
Actually, the zero shutter lag is hardware specific. I'm pretty sure even when we get the ICS camera (either from hashcode or Moto direct), the D3 will never have "zero" shutter lag.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
quite possibly, but some third party apps are better than stock camera. so it could be that as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] i4mt3hwin:
I'm not sure about that. The hardware portion of the camera could make up some of the speed, but at the ICS launch conference in China they said that the difference was that the new camera software saved the image to a cache in memory as opposed to writing it to the storage space. The didn't actually mention the camera hardware at all when speaking of the feature.

Actually owning a Galaxy Nexus though, it isn't exactly zero shutter, it's really fast compared to the Droid 3/other phone cameras, but it's no where near the speed of my Canon Rebel - which is to be expected, but yeah.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
Try turning airplane on and off. For me, after a reboot, i won't get 3g. This fixes it for me.

EDIT: that was to someone earlier.

Sent from my ICS Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
would like to know as well. has any one tried it yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZaneKaminski:
Tried it, and it isn't working for me, either. The app runs fine, and pages load, but don't display at all. Could this be a renderscript issue? (The first page of the thread mentions some inspecific renderscript problems.)

Also, this is totally unrelated, but I've been wondering for a while... what exactly is the function of /dev/ion?

Thanks.

[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
So I'm not the only one with this issue! I was about to reboot my phone to see if it was one of those "it doesn't work this boot but it does the next" type of things, and if that didn't work I was gonna post here. I'm glad I checked here first :P
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
The page failing to be displayed seems to be becoming a widespread issue. Ive seen it on a widespread amount of android devices, so i'm not surprised about this being an issue for the D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
It runs on this build...it just doesn't render websites, lol. I've been testing it on my A500 though, and it works great. It's fast...really fast, and syncs the browser across all your devices (tablet, phone, and PC), for easy access to all your bookmarks. It also has a nice little feature when selecting small text or buttons (like the next/last buttons on the xda site)... a popup will appear, blowing up the selection panel, so you avoid hitting the wrong button. Pinch to zoom works well also, but I hope they implement Quick Controls in the future...using a tablet without Quick Controls is tiresome now, after being spoiled with ICS. I see good things in the future for the browser though. :)

[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
OK, I stand corrected. exchange/calendar fix does work! My file manager I use to remount /system evidently didn't do the trick properly. After moving one file it reported the sizes of everything as zero until a reboot ? :( ? . I opened a terminal emulator on the phone and manually remounted /system as RW and copied all files over and then chmod 755 *.apk . It worked!

If any of you are having an issue remounting your /system partition the command is as follows:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Disclaimer:

I won't be held responsible for your ignorance or destruction of your own device.

Since I couldn't get my file manager or ADB working properly on my Windoze (Work) machine, I used the terminal emulator. Good old shell saves the day :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
everyone who is good at this kinda stuff. or just curious of the latest on the camera. look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487444

HASHCODE posted the thread. gives a log of camera so if you know anything about that go help out :]
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Actually to remount /system RW do this instead (via busybox):

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Thanx! Ur command is shorter... and nicer. The command I used was what I used to do on my old vibrant. Ill sub that one for this one in memory from now on :)

Hello

i use Droid 3 on GSM network in Croatia.

i have tried to flash this ROM but i have constantly FC on startup.

Tried with Checkmark "Data roaming" and reboot but without success.

i have wipe everything before flashing, tried after flashing, with gapps, without gapps but always FC on startu.

I know that most of you use phone on CDMA network but maybe someone know solution for this.

I forgot to say that i have flashed ALPHA 6 and droid is XT862

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
What is force closing ?
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
setup wizard and android phone is FC

i have downloaded ROM again, wipe all and again same thing.

android phone stops FC, i have 3g connection and whean i search network i found my operater but setup wizard is FC so i cannot move from there
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Try redownloading, and/or reinstalling after full wipe.

As for the bluetooth audio crackling bug, I found that it doesn't happen when playing music. Only when u use the headphone/headset for calling does the crackling occur.
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
is it possible to remove "GlobalNWSwitch.apk" from /system/app from ZIP file?

but main problem is Setup wizard

i will try to download ROM from another site
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Loaded ics up on the droid 3. Amazing! Cant believe it runs as good as it does. Besides the camera not working which doesnt matter right now the only thing I get is two phone fc's when it first starts up, but after that its fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Yea delete that. But your gsm so that's why I'm not sure ?

Deleteglobalnwswitch if your cdma. Not sure yet if that affects gsm
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
ok, i will try full wipe, system,cache and dalwik then flash ROM

do i need to wipe after flashing?
[Motorola Droid 3] hemirunner426:
Shouldn't need to no. Just wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache then install the zip.
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
I did. Just to be safe.
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
The software keys never turn off, while the screen is on, is this a bug or am I missing something. I am using auto brightness.

[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
If you go to Settings/Display/Automatic backlight/Edit other levels... the far right column "Buttons" represents the soft key backlights at every auto level. You can edit these to your liking at each level (0 = off, 1-255 = on). Don't forget to press "Save & apply" after you make a change.
[Motorola Droid 3] collinjm01:
The only thing keeping Me from this rom is the camera! Keep it up! :D
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
I cannot pas Setup wizard, always FC.

i will try to flash Alpha 5 and if it works then Alpha 6
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
same thing with Alpha 5, setup wizard FC.

is there some way to baypass setup wizard, or is something wrong with my Droid...
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
re you letting google restore your settings?

Did you do a complete wipe of data/cache, system, davlik cache?

Did you download the ROM correctly?
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
xt862 cdma or GSM unlocked and/or xt860 gsm?

if is CDMA it wont HELP as i dont have a CDMA carrier in my DROID 3 xt862

well Be careful of what im going to explain as there are no warranties it would work and you would have to SBF back to stock

do it at your own risk blah blah /disclaimer off

do the regular steps to flash alpha 6 (in safe system enabled) (wipe data/cache and dalvik too) if you are on xt860 also flash the gsm fix. if it is the xt862 (vzw dr3) dont flash the fix as it wont fix GSM issues there.

im assuming you have a GSM carrier as that the reason we have many problems and hash have not that much (cdma should be fine):P

before launching ICS the first time, go back to unsafe Gingerbread system. and from there you can edit the build . prop from ICS by going to

(root explorer(i use ES file explorer)) /preinstall/build.prop

and look for

# Default network type.
# 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
ro.telephony.default_network=7
ro.com.google.clientid=android-motorola
ro.url.legal=http://www.google.com/intl/%s/mobile/android/basic/phone-legal.html
ro.url.legal.android_privacy=http://www.google.com/intl/%s/mobile/android/basic/privacy.html
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310004
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=7

look for this

ro.telephony.default_network=7

and change the 7 for a
3 (gsm 2G auto) or a 2 (wcdma GSM 3G only)

if you set a 4 here, it will stay on CDMA auto
7 being the global mode..

after that look in /preinstall/app/ and look for globalNwswitch.apk and rename it to globalNwswitch.BAK and then restart to your ICS build by returning to the safestrap and switching to ICS again

if you reflash ICS after this the changes will be reverted back so you can try again. but if you only wipe data and cache changes should stay.

if it works i want to know so please tell me...

if it happens in CDMA to you i dont know what can it be. but this procedure will make you to stay in GSM and prevent the sistem to go back to global i guess. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
I have downloaded ROM 3 times.

google did not restore my settings because i did not go thru setup wizard, i have FC at the begining.

i know for 4 corners touch to bypass setup wizard, but i don't get droid icon to do it

I did complete wipe of data/cache, system, davlik cache.

only thing that is bit strange is when i choose to wipe davlik cache i get :

E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] but when i confirm to wipe davlik cache it said davlik cache wiped, so that should be OK

i dont think switching drain too much battery.

when i am on Ginger bread and go to ICS i get a boost of 30 % in batt and 30% down in GB

im pretty sure the batteries are reporting diferentily or mis calibrated, though in cant say which one is the one.

hey thanks. at least it say they are planning...and evaluating :P

but well. maybe the 862 will get it and the 860 not. (hope its not the case)

last time i had a moto cliq mb200 in mx and didnt got upgraded to 2.1 and remained in 1.5

i know you can CM7 the mb200 now but in that moment it was an painful to see moto or carriers or both decided to ditch us :P

this time i bought an USA moto, so lets see if the curse oof the motorolas is lifted.

anyway the d3 and M3 are relatively new and now that motorola is officialy google owned, this can change!
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
^ +agreed

CM9 hopefully will be done soon too
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
yeah sure... they are "evaluating" (evaluating how to get our money and run away)

Q3 for moto means late sept, so, a year late from the original ics release.

Anyway, speaking of hashcode´s cm9, anyone got the correct signal bars on GSM? It´s always stuck at 4 bars.

still a good thing for those ones that doesnt even know the DEVELOPMENT SCENE

but for us the initiated yes is a ^%&%& year late if happens :S

Guys, about backlight...

Can anyone go to settings, screen, edit custom levels and set the last 255 soft menu buttons lights and keyboard lights values to 0?

Something like:

255 255

255 255

255 255

255 255

0 ..... 0

That should fix the always on lights and they will only light up when going dark.

Go at sunlight and report, please.

If doesn't work, set the last two values for both to 0 and test again.
