I have a 32GB class 4 SanDisk and it works great.

Sent from my Energized Amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
I also have a 32gb class 4 (SanDisk). I haven't noticed any lag when picture taking or video recording.

I was looking up what kind of MicroSD to get my Amaze about a month ago and decided to get this one. Here are some things I picked up while doing the research.

1. Small read/writes usually takes place on the SD cards. Getting a class 10 with good write speeds for large files doesn't mean good speeds with small files.

2. SanDisk is a good brand. Mine is advertised as a class 4 but performs at class 6.

3. If you're looking at the Patriot class 10 microSD, I recommend that you stay away from it. People have been reporting errors with that card on Android devices. Patriot said that they've fixed the issue, but there are still a lot of bad cards floating around. You never know what you get.

4. If you do go with SanDisk, get it from a reputable dealer (not eBay). There are tons of SanDisk counterfeits.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jculotta:
Thanks so far guys - exactly the input and information I was seeking.

I have a 8g Class 6 from my G2, and a 4g Class 10 I paid $6 for to test out - both by Transcend off newegg.

Will get something with more capacity soon, and was wondering which direction to head.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I just got a patriot 16gb class 10 about a week or two ago from newegg for $10 ($20 with a $10 rebate) and it's awesome. I mostly notice it when transferring files (videos and music) between my phone and laptop. I had a 16gb class 6 ADATA before this one, but it was only 12gb cuz I originally used it with my G1 and had it partitioned.

My wifi downloads have been quicker lately, but I'm sure that's just coincidence. Anyways, good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Higher classes are more prone to errors. With the bitrate phone records hd. A class 2 is way more than enough. Go with a class 4 SanDisk. Higher classes have better sequential good for recording movies etc. Lower classes have better random read right and less prone to long term damage. The higher class you go the more risk you'll have of getting corrupt data etc. The only benefit of higher class is better sequential write speeds. ALWAYS GO with sandisk
[HTC Amaze 4G] daeboe:
If I had known this sooner, I wouldn't have invested in a 32GB Class 10 disk (not sandisk). So far, I've had it crash twice, and had to reformat every time. It's rather annoying and you do lose all your data; so for those out there still considering it, please add this to your factors of consideration.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bram30:
16 GB class 6 SanDisk. No lag. No problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Always buy sandisk. I have not heard of any sandisk going bad but heard of all other brands going corrupt over and over. I don't believe sandisk has a class 10 or class 8. They always stick to stability and quality and is worth the price. Besides a class 4 sandisk usually outperforms a class 6 or 8 of other brands. Search for my posts regarding memory topics in accessories I talk about sequential read write and random read write and how the bit rate our phone records video in HD is waaaay below even a class 2. a good balance of sequential read write (long files such as videos or movies) and random read write (gigs of small files) is either a class 4 or class 6 if i was going to go allout I would get the new 64gig card made by sandisk for mobile phones. I think its a class 6
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I had to send my 32gb class 10 Sandisk in to get replaced because of data corrpution. I agree though, Sandisk is great.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
I have a Samsung class 2 8gb. Pretty good for waht I use it
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
I have SanDisk 16GB Class 2, I bought a class 10 and its actually slower than my Class 2. Plus yes, it's more prone to error. My previous android phone would freeze up because of the class 10. Moral of story: SanDisk has great speeds even on class 2
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
sandisk doesn't make class 10's or 8's, but It could be imported or something or maybe even a knockoff...the only way to make sure you have a sandisk is to call them and ask if they actually sell class 10, to my knoweldge the fastest microsd they sell is a class 6. can you point me to their webiste or somewhere, I am very interested. they do sell class 10 SD but not micro sd. I am very curious where you got this and how sandisk is actually replacing this...I have looked all over for a class 10 micro sd.

you can buy it at newegg: for 120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171571

or on their webiste for double the price lol: http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
don't forget to increase your read ahead cache for the sd interface too. 2048K should be the optimal size.

Region: XAR (USA)

Build date: 17-01-2012

This is, as the title says, a Stock 3.2 ROM, CWM flashable,

provided as-is, no support for this stock ROM

.

CWM Recovery flashable (with Stock Kernel)

Installing overwrites the /system partition so be sure to backup your apps.

Deodexed

Zipaligned

Rooted + busybox (most recent files + zero issues with Superuser)

Also works great with _motley's kernel for Honeycomb 3.2.

Since it is a deodexed ROM, the first boot will take a while. Give it at least 5-10 minutes.

For backup, do a Nandroid to backup your existing ROM with CWM (How-to here)

For a fresh install (better safe than sorry) please use the Wipe data/Factory Reset from CWM Recovery and then flash the zip. When it boots, it will start the setup wizard like you just bought it.

Credit goes to:

motley (for helping me on learning how to do this)

kallt_kaffe (for his tips regarding Root troubleshooting)

alterbridge86 (for the Overcome theme I ported over)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] seatone:
<deleted> sorry :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] DBBGBA:
what region is XAR?

Thanks so much though, this seems to work much better than overcome for me. The ebook app still doesn't work and I'm not sure why :/
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
XAR is USA. Before I debloated my unit (currently using this firmware), Ebook opened normally, although I quit as soon as it opened so I don't know.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] rkum19:
What do you prefer this or [ROM][ICS][P7300/P7310]Unofficial CyanogenMod 9[2012-02-10]?

I'm looking for something thats stable and quick. I've tried the lastest Overcome and found to be the best IMO, but it constantly crashes especially with the browser.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
If you are aiming for something stable (with Camera working, compass and everything) then look no further. If you want to play with something more advanced, but with some little bugs here and there then go with CM9 or the Beta. I hope that helps you out.

Edit: As of 2/22/12, Overcome is once more based on official firmware. It is fine now.

Sent from my SGH-T959.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] tarrytownfads:
Does it have TouchWiz?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
Yes. Stock = TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] spiff72:
Why is this ROM so large?

nirogu325,

I am looking to save space on my 16GB GTab here, and I was going to put this in my storage as a backup means to go back to stock (rather than keeping a 1.3GB nandroid on board).

Just curious why is this ROM coming in at 396180 KB while the ICS ROMs (like Galaxian soup) come in less than 170000KB when you include the GApps zip size?

I notice the Overcome ROM is pretty big as well (on par with the stock rooted).

Is ICS just that much leaner than the Honeycomb ROMs?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
You hit the nail in the head. You've to take into consideration the whole TouchWiz layer (apps, framework, widgets & more) which weights more. ICS is a very lightweight and optimized OS when compared to the rushed OS that's Honeycomb.

Edit: Although if I were you I'd have this ROM as a backup measure. It is the most stable version for Honeycomb, had it for months without issues.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] spiff72:
Like I said - I am just looking for excuses to clean off my internal storage. I figure I can put this flashable zip on the tablet for emergency use, as opposed to leaving a 1.3GB Nandroid backup of the tablet on there (the only thing I would lose is the setup work I did to get all my apps on the device before I rooted and did the Nandroid).

This saves me 1GB (roughly)!

Thanks

Jeff
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
No problem! 1GB is still 1GB in this non-expandable tablet!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] slatestud:
I am planning on using this until ICS is 100% stable.

Is the battery life at least the same if not better then out of the box stock?

It should be but I was just curious...battery life is the most important feature I need.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Development] nirogu325:
This is, as the title says, a stock ROM. None of the added features touch battery life. Go ahead and flash with peace of mind.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Hello!

These are updates going for DROID 3 owners on the Verizon Wireless network. The 5.7.902 and 905 update does include a kernel, BP and bootloader update.

This update is known to quite a few but was not actually released fully due to the fact that it was not rootable and cannot be FXZ flashed back to 5.6.890.

This changed on February 11, as Hashcode rose up and said using the D4 root exploit can root this update. This was correct, I have used the exploit to root the 5.7.902 update. A lot have risen to say both the 5.7.902 and 5.7.905 update are rootable using the exploit below.

Disclaimer: It is your choice to update your phone to this, not mine. If in any way do anything happen to your phone that never happened before, you are responsible. I am not responsible for anything that happens, ill effects or not, to the phone.

**OTA ROOTKEEPERS DO NOT WORK, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION**

THERE IS NO WAY BACK TO STOCK.

AFTER SEEING REPEATED PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FLASH THIS UPDATE WHILE ON A STOCK 5.6.890 OR OTHER UPDATE.

DO NOT FLASH OVER AN ICS ROM OR ANY ROM. IF YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE TBH DROID 3 RADIO HACK YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ANY LEAKS.

5.7.902 Download Link -- http://bit.ly/zfKm6Y

5.7.905 Download Link -- http://bit.ly/y1GnCr

You may download the 5.7.902 update (223.6 MB) or you can download the 5.7.905 (224.9 MB) from above.

Newer Icons for select applications

*Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is HIGHLY integrated with Google+, and the app is usually only added as a bloatware addon if the phone is being prepared to see Android 4.0. Just this means we could be one step closer to getting a official ICS update! :D

thanks again!:)
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:
clarification please

I've seen this OTA update posted elsewhere a week ago. I want to try it, but don't want to get stuck again in a dead-end OTA update leak.

So just to clarify - because this leak is now root-able, this means we can fxz back to 5.6.890?
[Motorola Droid 3] slvrarrow:
I've seen theres a 5.7.905 update out now from the Production Servers will this be available?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
mavrom 3.0 already uses the files from this OTA
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
This wont put ya in a dead-end area of OTA updates unless the update coming in a few weeks is different.

KEEP IN MIND: The ONLY way to get back to stock 5.6.890 is to flash a rom based on 5.6.890, or 5.7.894. (Hashcode's ICS, Steel Droid 4.5, etc..)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Or just SBF?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
You can't FXZ flash back to 5.6.890, I've tried. I ended up bricking the phone and had to get VZW to send me a new one haha.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What? Why wouldn't you be able to SBF using this method :

Still trying to find the 5.7.905 update listed in the OP so I can update my kernel & baseband and then re-root, re-safe strap, and flash Maverick 3.0 again, but the poster's Dropbox is STILL disabled.

[Motorola Droid 3] bgmarian:
hey guys! please, how install this file and how root ? please
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
First download either the 5.7.902 or 5.7.905 update in the original post. If you want to root there is a third link toward the bottom that contains the root exploit. Download that as well.

Once the update (223-225 MB) file has downloaded, place the file on the sdcard. Power the phone off and then open the keyboard. Hold the physical X key and power button at the same time until you see the android robot with an exclamation point inside a triangle. Press both volume keys.

Press "apply update from sdcard" and select the file. It will go and reboot when its done.

You can root afterwards. Be sure to have a VERIZON DROID 3 and not a different model. It could brick your phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] duffman452001:
Just switched to nonsafe, booted into recovery, installed update, booted up ran the root exploit tool, reinstalled safestrap recovery, booted into safestrap and toggled right back into safe system ICS without a hitch, no reflashing of safe system required!

thank you @droidian1441. i update my droid 3(from verizon) to 5.7.905 ok and root :)

Baseband Issues

Once upon a time I flashed a bad OTA 890 update because battery was low, palm>forehead... After realizing battery was low, I got mad and flashed multiple times to get the phone to pass once (so I could charge using the phone directly). Doing this I lost my baseband version number and the phone wont recognize its own IMEI number...

This brought me here, I tried to flash 902 because of the baseband update and I get the following Error Status 7:

Updating BP ...
assert failed: motorola.motoflash("/tmp/bp.img")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

I was lucky enough to grab the Droid 4 (lucky?? Idk...) and am running on that now but I am trying to get my old Droid 3 back running... Any advice?

Edit: I have now tried this update from stock menu 3 times and keep getting the same error (was introduced to the idea of twice from another post with similar issues); I hate to call it this but, my next guess is that I fried my radio?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I get this exact same issue (you're the only other person I've seen with it) and just spent some time with another member on GTalk trying to get to the bottom of it. He spoke to CellZealot and he believes it's somehow not able to install signed radios.
[Motorola Droid 3] colton22:
redsox, do you think there is a way around this? You mentioned 'signed radios' is there such a thing as unsigned? I am kind of desperate to get it running again because I would love to use my D3 as a kick butt iPod but cannot get passed activation to use the phone and cannot install safestrap to do an nandroid restore (tricking the phone to think it is already activated)... On another note maybe using it to introduce my parents into the droid world...

I have another thread over on the forums at droidforums but no one has responded to this issue, I am at a loss right now...

[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:

[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
The biggest thing that deters me from these is the fact that it isn't fxz-able. Its kinda scary not being able to recover. I know theoretically with safestrap I shouldn't worry about it, but..... there's always that chance. If late february is true for an official update, hopefully a new set of fxz files with float to the surface.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Its name is 905 update, but ill post a link in the OP when finished uploading.

I would assume to be on 5.6.890 going to 5.7.902, 5.7.902 going to 5.7.905.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
oh thats gonna be the next release?? lol
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I hope for a new FXZ file set to be released as well.

I just did that, and I tampered with something on accident and now my test device is bricked with some 5.7.905 files and 890 files. Don't ask, IDK what happened there.
