Is there some sort of fix that will let me messages from non verizon people when they send them? not an hour later?

Im on Alpha #3 in hopes of this not being a bug, but I may as well move back to alpha #4.
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
Why dont u just download the apk from that post?
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
I like slide to unlock
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
That seems like a problem with your or their service, not the ROM. I don't see any reason why the software of your phone would have any influence over how long it takes you to receive messages on someone from another carrier.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
After my investigation, yea its not the rom. Im gonna do more testing with some us cellular friends and see what they get when they send it to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] will5:
You have to move framework-res.apk ( inside /system/framework ) your computer and use apkmanager 5.x.x to decompile, then modify files and recompile again and move back to your phone.

This can't be done in root Explorer.

/res is a folder inside framework-res.apk You can only see it on a decompiled apk

I dont have a Droid 3, so I cant test anything :(
[Motorola Droid 3] xxspark89xx:
Any news of progress on the next release? Just curious - it seems to be a little quiet lately. ;)

You can use astro to browse the .apk after you copy it to another location which you have to do with root explorer
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
He's working on camera..apparently needs a lot of new modules
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
As far as the open keyboard bypasses the unlock. You can also pull down the status bar. Not sure if this has been posted before. Probably has tho

He has 3 more to go. I cant wait!

ihavetheweirdestboner.jpg great news!

i hope we can have an option of using the onscreen buttons and killing our capacitive "hard" buttons. i really like that feature of ics
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
There is also the possibility to use kexec to run a 3.+ kernel for a less limited ics build. I do totally agree, amazing what's been done so far in terms of backporting the OS to run on our kernel/phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] ve6rah:
I just want to clarify my last post, I was in no way criticizing Hashcode, or any other developer. I think they have done amazing work and I am hugely appreciative of all their efforts. I was simply trying to get a better idea on where things stand, and what we should expect going forward.

Once again, I would like to extend a big thank you to Hashcode and everyone else who have helped get this to where we are today, and Iook forward to seeing where things go from here.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
There are a couple locked moto phones that have advances. Like the kexec ones and i think its the Droid X or something that is locked and has the video camera working now. 720p recording i believe but dont quote that. I am completely grateful to the developers in all their work. I hope it doesnt seem that im not, i just gave my praise already lol. Not going to in every single post with a question
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
If it's actually 720, I'd be so happy. The DX/2 only shoots 720, so being able to capture HD at max resolution would be great.
[Motorola Droid 3] folkmono:
I have some problems with the bilho

for many veses it back to 100% and battery life is gone
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
I have noticed an old bug reappeared now when I'm running CM9. Once phone have been used in a car dock, it can no longer go into deep sleep. Restart fixes the problem. The bug existed on XT860 as well as XT862 in the initial firmware. It was fixed in the first wave of firmware updates (the only wave for Bell XT860)
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Since now Droid 4 stock ICS has leaked - is there any chance that can be used to improve D3 CM9?
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Maybe, but most likely not. Remember that the Droid 4 leak includes a new kernel as well which does nothing for the Droid 3.

FC in Browser

in the nighties of May if you open browser and then goes to menu, receive a FC. I test with April 28 and this do not occur.

Also, whenever WiFi automatically switch off to preserver energy, do not come back until manually disable/enable.

very good job in CM9!
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I have not had this happen to me. I am able to access the browser menu/settings without an FC. I'm on the 05-07-12 nightly right now. Maybe there's an issue with your gapps?
[Motorola Droid 3] markv99:
Thanks! that was the problem. the gapps what I'm using was an older version (ICS_MOTO_4.0.4_GAPPS_03_13_2012)

with gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip the browser work fine, no more FC

the wifi disconnection remain an issue

[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
for some reason every DL i've tried has come up bad in safestrap
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
How are you DL'ing the ROMs? 3G or WiFi? WiFi on phone or on computer? Is it your network? How large are the ROMs that are "completely" DL'd?
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
they won't DL direct to the phone over wifi.. keeps saying unsuccessful. DLed them to the computer and transfered them over. tried the official build (127 MB) and the nightly (133mb)
[Motorola Droid 3] TheGratefulDead:
Try using a different browser

Sent from my DROID3 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Use Opera or Dolphin. Or get something from Play called "Download All Files". It allows the stock browser to do just what it says.
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
download all files actually let me download, but the files are still coming up as bad in safestrap. trying opera now

well opera was a bust. 5 DLs failed, one at 98%

ok my wifi is the issue... this is the second droid 3 i've had wifi issues with. really dislike this phone. DLing with 3g
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Why dont you use a computer ?

And also trying crystal downloader over wifi should complete it before your wifi timesout
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
i did use a computer. that was corrupt also. anyway i got everythign running by DLing with opera over 3g. runs pretty well
[Motorola Droid 3] swordrune10:
I'm starting to think ur wireless network is at fault
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
Possible, or my router just doesn't like the droid. Other devices seem to be fine. Its about time for a new router anyway

Everything is working great so far except chrome web pages are all blank and voice won't sent messeges as texts to my phone

Anyone else notice that scrolling between home screens is quite choppy compared to scrolling between app drawer pages?

When Using camcorder it works well?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Try a differnt launcher. Also AXI0M [which is aokp based] runs alot smoother for me, but battery is supposed to be shorter, i havent tested battery life because well, thats that one guy does lol. Forgot his name but he has a thread in General comapring all roms. AXI0M also overclocks the phone to 1.2ghz.

unless i misunderstand what your asking camcorder still doesn't work. Probably won't, if ever, for awhile. There doesn't seem to be any progress trying to be made with it. I think this is going to be as good as it gets
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So you're it's unlikely the D3 will never have a 99%-100% functional ICS build? That would be very disappointing.... This phone was high-end when I got it only half a year ago.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Pretty much. Devs seem more concentrated on updating builds with features than bugfixing and making it fully functional. mainly because itll take alot of work [such as making kernel wrappers and such] and time to make the other features work, and then those would only have a possiblity of working. i suggest a new phone lol, or using GB with a heavily themd ics launcher.

Hash ofcourse may come up with a new breakthrough, but most likely no time soon.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The problem is the bootloader. Need I say more?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
^thank you for doing as your name says lls
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Lol
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
This has been touched upon before. The problem is not that we have a locked bootloader. We'd be having the same problems, because we'd have to develop an ICS kernel for our device, and that would take large amounts of work. I believe Hash has mentioned before that with an unlocked bootloader, we'd still be stuck without hardware codecs because he would still have to code them completely from scratch for the new kernel. Making a CM7 ROM would be easier with an unlocked bootloader because we already have a kernel for Gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
An unlocked bootloader would enable us to create our on bootloader for ics though. Yes work, but easier than finding a workaround like now is it not?
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
I'm running the may25th nightly and the ring tone and messag tones do not work what so ever and its not on silent or any thing but I'm just giveing you the heads up and also that apollo music player does not work or play music but I do like it because it downloads the cover art but still does not play music

OK I just now downloaded a new app to play music and not a one of em work so I will go back to stock I will test tomarros nightly to see if its fixed
[Motorola Droid 3] Pokelover980:
I'm not sure, Hash would have to say something about this. However, he has posted before that being able to run our own kernel wouldn't be very beneficial. Here is the post in question: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24786568&postcount=25
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
That was with a 3.0 kernel though. Being to develop a 4.0 kernel would amek it easier. correct again if im wrong though.
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
The 3.0 kernel that he's referring to is not Android 3.0, it's linux 3.0 (Android 2.x runs on a 2.6 linux kernel, but they just decided to renumber to 3.0 for later kernels). The problem isn't apparently the kernel itself, it's the proprietary drivers for some of the hardware.
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Although it's a tablet and not a phone, my tablet acer a200 has official ota ICS and is running 2.6 kernel not 3.0
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
so what is the benefit of having this unlocked bootloader if it does nothing (well for our case)?
[Motorola Droid 3] The_Joe:
It almost sounds like the locked bootloader is just something that people enjoy complaining about at this point... I could be wrong though. I dont truly know what I am talking about.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
The bootloader would help in the way devs can load modules and kernels without workarounds. That's it.

The problem with D3 is the hardware codecs. This has also been said in this thread, numerous times.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
i keep seeing numerous articles that specificaly mention the unlocked bootloader in reference to the device getting custom ROMs whcih is why your statements confused me. oh well ima just do reserach to clear up my confused head lol

yes, yes yes yes we all know lol. thats not what i was getting at
[Motorola Droid 3] markv99:
no media play

The same here with may26 nightly, no sound, no ringtone, no avi play. I install may26 in a wiped phone and do not install gapps and the same occurs.
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
Thats good to know it looks like hash is working on cm9 a lot!!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] :
I can't get any of the roms to DL, is there a setting I don't know about? Im new to the DROID 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
rombot.droidhive.com

Go to droid3

Choose your rom
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Also, don't download w/your phone.

Use a computer.

Or if you have to use your phone I recommend the app download anything which will let you dl the zip file.
[Motorola Droid 3] adamskub:
From what I understand: having an unlocked bootloader means you can load whatever you want, say an ICS kernel, whereas having a locked bootloader we must load the Gingerbread kernel and then write all the drivers to interact with the Gingerbread kernel instead of our own ICS kernel. As for kexec, I believe what that does it start the loading of the Gingerbread kernel at bootup, but it then overwrites that kernel with the custom one that you write. This would mean that the Gingerbread kernel still does load, however, at a certain point it will start loading the custom kernel and run off that instead. I'm sure that isn't the exact process, and I could be off, but that's what I understand.

EDIT: "In computing, kexec (kernel execution) is a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows "live" booting of a new kernel "over" the currently running kernel. kexec skips the bootloader stage (hardware initialization phase by the firmware or BIOS) and directly loads the new kernel into memory, where it starts executing immediately." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec

So an unlocked bootloader is good, but the biggest problem we have it Motorola's custom drivers which Hash has been having a hell of a time to write because there is no documentation really on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] :
So does anyone know what the last build with sound working is?
[Motorola Droid 3] shobon:
I know 5/23 has working sound, and 5/25 doesn't. So 5/23 or 5/24.

EDIT: AOKP 5/24 has working sound, and I believe the sound issue with CM9 and AOKP happened at the same time, so build 5/24 should be the last working build.

EDIT2: CM9 5/24 has broken audio... stick to 5/23
[Motorola Droid 3] nicktastique:
Hashcode has stated via twitter that he will look into the sound issue soon.
[Motorola Droid 3] atlantanetworkguy:
So... I got to get my video camera back for work. I have been on CM9 so long I don't know what GB rom I should flash to. Anyone have a good battery life ics themed(able) suggestion?

Phone Died?

Ok, I think my phone died last night. About 10 hours prior to dying, I flashed the June 2 nightly and updated to the newest Supercharger script. I used the phone periodically throughout the day without any problems. I was simply surfing the internet last night and the screen went black. I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't come on. Charged it, still would not come on. Switched batteries and charged the one that I switched to, still would not come on. I get a dim black light when I hit the power button, but it goes away after a second. When I hold down X & Power for 15 seconds, I get the same black light that goes away after a second. Charged the battery all night and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions or is my phone dead? :mad:
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Maybe your screen is dead.

I'd SBF.. at least then you know it's not a software issue
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
If M + Power does nothing, is there any other way to SBF?
[Motorola Droid 3] Tomsgt:
You need a factory cable. When plugged into the computer it will power the phone even without the battery. Or you could get a battery dock that you take the battery out of the phone and charge it.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
Thanks, you don't happen to have an extra one lying around that I can buy do you? I see where I can make one, but I am not very skilled with soldering.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tomsgt:
You can get either the charger or the cable from ebay search worldwide.

[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Does anyone use the "Vibrate on Touch" feature under Sound in the System menu? If so, do you experience an issue with 3 vibrates when dialing phone numbers? I have been having this problem where the phone will vibrate 3 times for each number dialed...it's pretty bizarre. I like the haptic feedback, but I can't take so much vibrating. It's out of control. So wondering if anyone else has experienced it or if there is a fix or something I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts on the cause out there? Any help is appreciated. Currently I just have it turned off =\
[Motorola Droid 3] ve6rah:
Not happening for me... try a wipe and reload?
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Thanks, I'll give it a go when I can grab the nightly for today. I'm getting errors when trying to load the page for the nightlies. Good to know other people are not having the issue and it's just me ;) Means I can do something about it
[Motorola Droid 3] beddess:
bluetooth?

is bluetooth working in recent nightlies? I read that there were some issues, at least in the past.
[Motorola Droid 3] ve6rah:
Bluetooth has some pretty major issues. The first is that when bluetooth is turned on, but you aren't actually connected to anything with it, the phone has no audio.

The other issue I noticed (but can't confirm if others found the same) is that I can't make the phone discoverable, no matter what I do other devices can't see it. This makes it useless for me because my car insists that it do the discovery, and not the phone, so I can't pair it with the bluetooth device i use the most
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
Biggest issue for me is the fact that I loose all signal when my phone's connected via bluetooth to my car... seems to be signal issue anyway. My bars switch from full 3g to next to nothing with the dreaded 1x. Calls get super staticy and as soon as I kill the bluetooth calls work perfectly fine. This has been a known issue for awhile I haven't tested any new nightlies in awhile now but I haven't seen anything in the change logs addressing any bluetooth issues :(
[Motorola Droid 3] chowtom:
In last nightlies(6/8 & 6/10).

When I try to enter the "mobile network" menu, process "com.android.phone" will crash, then my phone will lose data connection and comeback after 1 second.

I test this in chinese lang, if I set lang back to english, "mobile network" menu can work normally.

In 5/17's build, it works without and error.

Does anyone has same problem?
[Motorola Droid 3] gotoman00:
for anyone interested in the state of development of cm9 for droid 3, hash posted an update on his blog:

http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/

looking pretty bleak for us :( seems as though cm7 will most likely be our only hope for a fully functional camera/hd codecs
[Motorola Droid 3] beddess:
I'm not too surprised, im kinda kicking myself for not waiting for droid 4. I didn't think the 1 gig of ram was going to be that important, ah well.
[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
This'd help explain why the Xoom got ICS, even though it's older.

[Motorola Droid 3] swordrune10:
guess i should of seen this coming.. got my gf the droid 3 for cricket since theres no way to get any 4g phone on that.. so with that in mind the droid 3 is the best phone to get.. right now shes running this build and isnt too happy to hear she'll have to go back to gingerbread..

i give my thanks to the STS Dev Team, i really appreciate all the hard work of trying to get this to work..
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
like my daddy allways said..dont start what you cant finish..like i would know where to start.....fun while it lasted..
[Motorola Droid 3] seventieslord:
...and it's not even close to stable either. In everyone's opinion what is the best ROM for the Droid 3 that actually works? I am on maverick and I would describe it as"ok"...
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Im enjoying eclipse 3.0. Comes in a couple flavours of overclock and is pretty stable. Liberty is a good rom, its been abandoned it seems but its pretty damn good anyways
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
He's talking about this 1GB issue thing..where it's all coded for 1GB. And that the only device with 512mb and ICS is Archos Gen9.

What about the nexus S? It has 512mb RAM and ICS... I asked this on his blog as well
[Motorola Droid 3] swordrune10:
Nexus S is Exynos 3.. all this has to do with it being OMAP4.. im not exactly sure but ics isnt limited at 1 GB of memory, its just has to do with the SoC and it's limitations.. at least thats my assumption..
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
1. eclipse 3.0

2.mavrom

3.liberty (dont laugh its stable as heck)

4.steel droid
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
and when you say BEST rom, what do you mean? what points of reference do you take? fast, stable, responsive,safe, customizable...?
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
yup
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Accurate ranking - Liberty was the tits for a while and Eclipse is the shiz.
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Boss surprised me with a free nexus upgrade @ work. My boss is the bees knees. Will be saying by to d3 on Monday!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
So in your guys' opinions, what rom do you think is best in terms of stability and reliability as the number 1 most important feature, but while still performing smoothly.

Would it be best to stay on stock? I'm asking because my parents have complained about their phones (both have D3) sometimes freezing or slowing down a bit. Obviously they don't need anything flashy or customizable.

Also, I've read about ICS not being real ICS on the D3, or something like that? Bluetooth not working?
[Motorola Droid 3] Calen77:
Yeah...

No droid3 ICS rom with bluetoth...

Câmara only for images, not vídeos ...

TIomap3 needs 1g Ram to work ...

It's a shame.

Sad, but TRUE...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Omap4 he means. Personally Liberty is as stable as heck but Eclipse is pretty good and if you use the app Root Browser and go to /system/etc/init.d/98tweaks I left my cpu at 1 GHz but oced the gpu to 300 MHz and it runs like a champ and is smooth. Plus the memory settings seem to kill apps but leave them open and give a good balance.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I would run this if we could get hwcodecs but that won't happen.
[Motorola Droid 3] duncan254:
What do I change in that file to oc the gpu?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
There are two lines that control it. The first one is echo 1100000000 (1.1 billion) into some file then the second is echo 384000000 (384 million) to some other file. That is the gpu. You just change it to 250 million for 250 MHz. Sorry I don't have it right in front of me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
So wait are these roms GB based? Because I need everything to work.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Yes Eclipse, Mav, and Liberty are based off of the stock ROMs. CM7 is AOSP Gingerbread. Everything else is ICS.
