[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Everything in the op is based on the 906 leak from cheesecake. Its md5 is the same as for the official release.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Are you referring to the DST mod? it's what i use and have never had those problems.

Over a hundred downloads and no one else has reported any problems; anyone else having problems with the DST mod?
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
I should note I installed over existing 906, no wipes. Figured I could because it said I could just install over an existing install (was expecting more a mod I guess)
[Motorola Droid 3] neonlite:
system on safestrap with safe enabled.

- wipe data/cache/dalvik

- flashing 906-SAFE.zip

- reboot & setup

- flashing 906-DST.zip

- reboot

now it works,thx!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Updated op: cleaned it up and added link to 5.7.906 fxz (no system). DST Toolbox coming soon...
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
DST Toolbox is up.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Just FYI, the link in the OP is broken.

Even adding "download.php" before the question mark doesn't work...
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Thanks for the heads up, just made a minor change in the readme file and re-uploaded; didn't think the link was changed. here's the new link, also updated in op:

[Motorola Droid 3] ajgates92:
Just a quick question..I want to build a custom rom using the 906 as the base (GB Rom). However we don't have the rom, or at least I don't think so? Like a stock rom of it. What is the Safe for exactly? I know safestrap, but could it be a stock rom for non-safe? And also, is it possible to combine the deodexed with the safe to have a stock deodexed rom? Just looking for the right direction lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
The update has a complete system directory you can use...
[Motorola Droid 3] ajgates92:
Just take out the other **** then sign it? Like everything besides meta and system?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Uh, no. You'd want to add a root package and custom updater-script at the very minimum.

If all you want to do is make a custom theme, I'd recommend just modifying my deodexed package so you don't have to be concerned about that stuff, but if you're determined to make a full rom the safe system is probably a good base to start.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
That's what I did, I used your safe system rom and deodexed it myself and debloated more out of it so I can use it to make my own themed rom. I did it so I didn't have to flash so many things in a row. Thanks for putting the 906 out for us to use. Good job by the way
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
No problem, all I did for the 906 safe rom is take the 890 safe rom and overwrite it with the 906 system, very easy.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
update to toolbox including:

ability to flash custom bootlogo by naming it "logoCustom.bin" and placing it in the /sdcard/DST/.logo/ directory. Default logoCustom.bin is a hellomoto one i made.

ability to create desktop launcher with sl4a (scripting layer for android).

ability to customize desktop launcher icon with Zoom.

Instructions are in the readme file. enjoy!
[Motorola Droid 3] drkcobra:
Just for reference, your link is down again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
I've updated the toolbox again since that post, the link in the op is s working.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
minor and probably final update to the dst toolbox. cleaned up the menu a little, made custom icon larger, and added blur wallpaper gallery to replace dst wallpaper gallery. enjoy!
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Both links in the readme were dead for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
really? just extracted the readme on my phone and tested them and they are working fine for me. Here are the direct links:

android terminal emulator (not needed if you use sl4a):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...idterm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

sl4a:

zoom:

http://zoom.dinglisch.net/index.html
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
For some reason the shortened links were 404'ing for me. I managed to find SL4A on my own, but couldn't find Zoom. Thanks for the update.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
yeah both of those apps are very useful. zoom is a paid app with a free trial, from the maker of Tasker; lets you create widgets for just about anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Just wondering - is there a reason why you removed the safe system download from the OP?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
just removed it because it is really easy to make as described a few posts back; will put it back up if you need it.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I already have it, but it was a nice rom to suggest for people who want stock but want to debloat without messing up the non safe system. No big deal; up to you.

[Motorola Droid 3] janocool:
I have eclipse 2.2 rom installed, what i have to do to flash this file wich one i have to download because theres many files i already download the first one its like 236 mb i try to flash in safestrap but i got an error. Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
If you're referring to the safestrap 906, it is split into 2 files because mediafire limits downloads to 200mb. download both files, install 7-Zip if you haven't already, then right-click on one of the files and select "7-Zip > Extract Here". flash that zip. enjoy :)
[Motorola Droid 3] flomar247:
Hi, I installed safe 906 followed by DST and when I try to run the dst script from the terminal I get the following error.... "dst requires blur version 5.7.906". Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
yes, i built checks into the dst toolbox to ensure that you don't accidentally screw up your system. it checks the md5 of your boot partition to make sure you're on 5.7.906 and it checks for .odex files to make sure you're deodexed.

if you want to bypass this, you can open up the 'dst' shell script in /system/bin with a text editor and remove the "checkVersion" block of code. i wouldn't recommend removing "checkDeodex".

if you're editing in windows, i recommend using notepad++.

if you're editing on-board, i recommend droidedit, here:

http://goo.gl/K25wM

you'll want the pro version as it has root mode necessary to change system files.
[Motorola Droid 3] flomar247:
Thanks for the reply! Its is still not clear to me why the script is displaying an error. I am running 5.7.906 on the safestrap boot partition. I don't want to bypass the checks if there is something wrong with the installation. It also says that the system is not deodexed. I downloaded the safe-906 that slayer621 posted. Are these false positives because of the safestrap?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
there is only one boot partition, so you must not have flashed the actual 906 update on non-safe side, correct? still running 890 or earlier?

If this is the case, you can safely remove the version check to run the toolbox on safe 906 rom.

I don't know of any safe 906 rom other than the one I posted, but in any event you'll want to deodex before using the toolbox; deodexed 906 is in the op.
[Motorola Droid 3] flomar247:
Understood. Thanks!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
ok, i lied; here's another dst toolbox update. pretty major overhaul.

-initial startup checks are no longer necessary

-works on both odexed and deodexed systems

-new launcher apk, thanks to Tasker App Factory! (no longer need Zoom for custom widget icon)

-sl4a r5 is included

-moved DST directory to internal storage, no longer need sdcard

-reduced package size by almost half

happy 4th of July ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
am I missing something here? can't I just run through the install from a custom recovery and be done? dst won't open (black screen), sl4a crashes and there isn't a DST folder that was installed locally or on the sd card (int or ext).
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
the zip is designed to be installed through custom recovery, yes. did you follow the directions in the readme on the root of the zip?

once you install the zip in custom recovery, navigate to /sdcard/DST/apk and manually install sl4a and the toolbox launcher apk. maybe try opening sl4a before launching the toolbox.

No idea why the DST folder wouldn't be created on your internal memory, i tested it before releasing and it worked great. are you using this on safestrap? i didn't test on safestrap but that shouldn't make any difference.
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
Yeah. Seemed straight forward enoug. Ran on safestrap. I can try a wipe and start over. I ended up installing the apks from the zip extratced. The dst folder doesn't exist anywhere.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
just tested the toolbox on safestrap 906 system and it worked flawlessly. you did install the safestrap 906 system rom first, didn't you? the toolbox isn't a complete system, it's designed to be installed on top of the system.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyopicWorm:
Just unbricked my droid and now it's stayed at .890 (rooted and installed safestrap).

Try to toogle safe system but can't install, and get an alert error.

Can someone show me the instruction how to install it?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
no... working straight from stock. not familiar with the 906 system rom. is that an SBF method?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
link to safestrap rom is back in op. download and install. apply mods such as deodexed app/framework, and/or toolbox.

questions? http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/ (already linked earlier in this thread)
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
*update 7/15/12*

flashing boot logo is broken on previous release due to incorrect md5 value in the script; fixed in this version

-easier to understand way to toggle stock/custom boot logos and bootanimations with new hellomoto bootanimation to match hellomoto logo

-latest version of scripting layer for android (sl4a_r6.apk)

enjoy!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
*update 7/18/12*

someone just pointed out to me that the deodexed BlurEmail.apk isn't working right. never would have realized this since i only use gmail. interesting because when i deodexed with xultimate there were no errors, but recently used Android-Kitchen to deodex and it did error on BlurEmail.apk, had to deodex manually. so i've updated the deodexed app/framework download with the Android-Kitchen version, should fix the broken BlurEmail.apk as well as any other issues. also updated with latest Superuser.apk.

Due to this updated deodexed app/framework, there is a minor update to DST Toolbox as well.

also updated op with instructions to extract multi-part zip files, as these seem to cause confusion.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
*update 8/7/12*

ok i know i said it before, but this is more than likely the final release of dst toolbox for d3. added ability to flash stock/custom fonts, removed wallpapers as they added alot of bulk, cleaned up script a little more.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
updated links in op to adrive... no more split archives, direct downloads, yay :)
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Just curious - why?
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
I second this.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:

Thanks. I misread that one as being for GSM phones only - my fault for sure, having reread the OP.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
cool, hope you like it. doesn't really get better than this if you want everything working imo. this is a dst build straight from moto.
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
I'll be flashing this soon. Can be flashed in a rom slot via safestrap, correct?

Edit: forgot to say thanks. :D Good to see people still supporting our D3.

Thanks for the heads up. Got my bundle. Wasted a couple of hours on Cogs already... Zen Bound is also a decent distraction! In fact, they're all good.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendonahue:
Hi,

Firstly, please accept my apolgies if this has been covered elsewhere (I have searched, honest :))

I have installed the Cyanogenmod from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525148 and it runs really smoothly...However, I have experienced a problem where the Enter button acts as a Space button in any field that requires text input (Google search for instance).

Any ideas what this could be?

Cheers

Update: The Enter button works when entering a pin number on the lock screen, but not in any apps within the OS itself (if that makes sense)
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
Hi everyone!

I was just wondering how everyone's Optimus 7 is holding up! Searching in Google I did not find that many problems... but I've been through hell with it!

First there were some fixed color vertical lines in the display... this was around 9 months after purchase. I did get bothered, but since they require 1 month (!!!) to send the repaired phone back to you here in Italy, I didn't send it.

Then it started rebooting a lot... gave some memory errors... and then finally would lock at the LG logo after rebooting a few times. Obviously at this point I sent it to repair... Ah, and the touchscreen was also not responsive at times.

I got it back, and the service center said that they made "electronic repairs". Fair enough, but... the touchscreen was still not responsive at times (the other problems were fixed)!

Then I send it again... got it back, now they said the exchanged the full motherboard. Should be fixed now, right? WRONG!!! Still the same problem!

Today I just sent it ONE MORE TIME to the repair center... I've been now almost two months without my phone, and I bought it only 13 months ago.

I've really lost faith in LG by now... So, what's YOUR experience with the phone? Am I unlucky or are these problems really common?
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
I've had no issues, and I can't really return mine as I live in the US and am using an unsupported phone.

The gorilla glass was a big seller for me because I hate screen protectors and even when they are on I still manage to scrath the glass. Aside from a minor scrath on the one side, the phone has taken my abuse with flying colors.

Was able to update and unlock my phone and runs quite well on AT&T's network.

Though there have been other reports of the issues you have had, I guess I'm just lucky.
[Optimus 7 General] bubaque:
not lucky too, my phone is now in service after a month use, i had problems with touchscreen

u talked about "not responsive at times", mine was working for itself - running application, scrolling on it's own, etc., once i look at the screen and had about 200 appointments :)

and as i red somewhere here, it was worse when i connected the phone to a charger, the difference was that i used original charger
[Optimus 7 General] MTAMike:
My family use two E900 and two E906. No problems so far with the phones after a couple of months :)
[Optimus 7 General] muggs_ro:
Hardware wise it's fine and i am still pleased with it, it does not get recognized anymore by Zune though so probably i will be left behind when the new update comes up lol.
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
I have 2 of them and both of them randomly restart... I cannot use them anymore! LG Service in my country is unreliable and I'm saving money to buy 2 other models... LG devices are crap and I wouldn't say that if they were trying to support their customers with firmware updates or even some official announcements...they have left us eating their s%^& instead...
[Optimus 7 General] panosss567:
I bought one last October and it works fine till now (i receive all the updates)

It is vodafone branded and never flash it .
[Optimus 7 General] spacekimo:
Well, mine (vodafone de) got a problem with the battery (poor) and video recording. It just freezes the camera app after I click cam button to end the recording.

Since I'm in russia and the service is in deutschland... it's dumb to send it back and then here again) It's easier to buy $300 lumia 710 here / $150 focus on ebay. Since I don't really use recording, i don't mind, I'll wait for wp8 devices.

As for the updates - flawless! I got them almost instantly, loving vodafone and LG support for the platform.
[Optimus 7 General] zomomo:
After 8 months mine started randomly reboot on its own, and as LG Support is not working across Europe I am now fighting seller (Amazon) to repair it. If not, I try to sell or repair and sell it.

And as I was never happy with WinPhone I hope I will get my money back and go for Android or iPhone afterall. Use to have WinMobile-system phones since 2004 but new Windows Phone is just a great mistake of Microsoft - greed is not always good advisor.
[Optimus 7 General] Fliptil:
Hi All,

My Optimus is holding up quite well. I did have issues with the intermittent shutdown / reboot. This has disappeared since 8107 (maybe simply some luck?). I flashed my phone with a firmware from the forum here (thanks Nasirahmed), since then I have a dutch ROM and tethering. Then I updated with the force method to 8107 (I have little patience ;) ).

Hardwarewise my Optimus has been topnotch. I dropped it from considerable heigth a few times and after reassembly of the battery and batterydoor it still works very well and there is no visible damage. Quite different from my former HTC diamond 2 and Xperia. The Xperia disintegrated spontaneous, got repaired and continued disintegrating. The Diamond 2 fell three times (from less heigth) every time there was visible damage and eventually the screen got broken (and repaired I must say). So I think the Optimus is a quite sturdy device.

Windows phone 7 is nice and fast, has considerable limitations (compared to for example Android and WM6.5) and I doubt it if I would buy a WP7 again.

My two cents.

Ronald
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
My phone came up today from the third visit to the repair center... let's see if it is finally OK!

About the Gorilla glass, something weird happened to me: after I dropped a few water drops on the screen back in December, some "air bubbles" appeared on the screen... When I first took the phone to assistance, the guy just said that it was the screen protector (???) and just removed it (in front of me), so indeed there is a screen protector... I neved noticed it before the bubbles appeared.

Anyway, if the glass of the screen is Gorilla Glass, why does it comes from the factory with a screen protector? Do I need to buy a new one (he said this wasn't covered in the warranty...)?
[Optimus 7 General] Fliptil:
I removed my screenprotector also. It annoyed me, and the device has Gorilla glass, so what can happen?? :-)
[Optimus 7 General] cris_rowlands:
No issues here. In fact, its been an incredibly stable & sturdy phone for me.

Ive dropped it more times than I care to admit to & it has very little to show for it.

The screen has only one tiny scratch, no idea how it happened considering I have been at it with a chisel, screwdriver, keys, drill & craft knife since to see if they do any damage. That screen is near indestructible.

I love how well built it feels. I pulled off the charger cover a few months after buying it (which was as soon as it was available in the uk)

Software wise, Ive not had many problems either. Used to have the odd random restart here & there, but that was fixed when mango appeared.

So yeah, still a happy chappy :)
[Optimus 7 General] GolfVR6:
Sincerely? Like s**t.

It's the worst phone I have ever had. WP7 is great, no complains here. But considering how tight the OEM specs for WP7 is, LG screwed in everything they could.

The screen is just average at best;

The camera is probably the worst in 1st gen Windows Phone;

The physical buttons are a good idea, but they are too big and the plastic is too cheap. Specially the Windows button;

The battery-life is short, really short. Before and after Mango;

And the random resets, at least once a day, sometimes in the middle of a conversation.

My next phone will be another Windows Phone, but I will never buy anything from LG again, not only phones...
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
I don't agree with all your complaints, even though I will also not go to LG again due to my own problems. Anyway, before all the hardware faults I had, my main complaints were:

1) VERY, VERY bad auto white balance in the camera. When the flash was on, 70% of the times I got completely blueish images.

2) I like the idea of actual physical buttons... but not this noisy! When in bed these buttons can actually wake my girlfriend (yes, she is a light sleeper).
[Optimus 7 General] freddx:
I have no problems at all; only the battery is draining too fast even with all battery saving options turned on and also in airplane mode :( But the hardware buttons are great! It´s great that you never can hit them accidentally :D And I love the aluminium backcover, it looks so good! The display is also good, but in daylight its sometime hard to read... Now I´m only missing a custom rom and some apps or games like Tap Tap Revenge :(
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
Apparently battery life is a common problem among optimus 7 users. I haven't had any problem with mine (I've had mine for 6 months) except for a terrible battery life while HDSPA connection is on.
[Optimus 7 General] XxAndrexX:
mine is rebooting like crazy now. I'll bring it today to my dealer, for repair. but I think LG will screw me, because mine is vodafone-rebranded, and originally it was OPN. Although the issue has nothing to do with the flash, and they certainly know that, because it seems that sooner or later, al Optimus 7 will start rebooting and fail the SD
[Optimus 7 General] mrjetking:
My Optimus 7 started rebooting randomly, and also the battery wasn't lasting as long.

Buying a new (real LG) replacement battery seems to have cured both problems :D
[Optimus 7 General] kermit26:
Time to say something positive about the E900 :)

It is the best mobile in terms of reception that I ever had. 2G, 2.5G, 3G (HSDPA) are stable and fast (T-Mobile in Germany). Compared to my former devices (HTC Legend and Samsung Galaxy S) this is excellent.

The Wifi reception is even better than my laptop's Wifi (Dell Latitude E5410) and definetly best among my three mobile phones.

Wifi tethering works absolutely flawless, no need for cables anymore.

I received updates always with one of the first waves (besides tethering which arrived first on Vodafone branded devices). For the old HTC Legend as well as the Samsung Galaxy S there are no more firmware updates expected. But LG and Microsoft still deliver updates for the first generation LG E900. That's what I call a good service.

Sure, there are some points the E900 is not rocking. The display is very bright at night (you can light up a whole cinema :) ) and doesn't have the colors of the AMOLED displays but we knew that before buying it. But the TFT doesn't have the gaps between the pixels like AMOLED displays.

And the camera is no DSLR. With good light conditions it is ok for snapshots. But for real photos I would never use the optics of a mobile phone. And I don't want LG to integrate a fullsize DSLR chip and lenses. That won't fit in my pocket :D

Ah, yeah, the random reboots. Had that issue on my device as well. But it occurs less often than my Samsung Galaxy S is hanging completely.

Summarizing I am happy with the E900 and I will continue to use it as long as LG and Microsoft provide support for it. It was a great deal to buy it a year ago for just 190 EUR.
[Optimus 7 General] djuricn:
I think reboots issue is caused by bad applications and picking phone on places we should not....When i did that i had no reboot in 6 months..
