Changelog (4-12-2012):

Also including the official AOKP changelog for more details

5.001 Official

Synced as of 4-12-2012

Added a custom ringtone I made based on Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core (set as default)

Started to optimize some images in source

This build is based on the official AOKP build 31

Optimized all audio files

Added a MASSIVE amount of build.prop tweaks!

AOKP OFFICIAL CHANGELOG:

Fixed long pressing home button not working on capacitive buttons

Fixed FC when clearing market data through the LCD density changer in RC

Fixed lockscreen icons not setting properly

Fixed devices not having MTP checked by default (for Galaxy Nexus amongst others)

Fixed battery bar showing incorrect battery percentages and not showing in the proper orientation

Fixed Calendar FC in ROM Control

Added donate link for Khas Mek (you should really click this)

Changed back to stock framework animation speed as the faster ones weren't properly configured and made things "stutter"

Flashing instructions:

FLASH 5.6.890 SBF (for a TOTALLY clean install for those with paranoia)

1: Download the 5.6.890 SBF file HERE

2: Download RSDLite 5.5 HERE

3: Extract the contents of the SBF file to a folder on your computer

4: Install RSDLite

5: Boot the Droid 3 into bootloader by holding both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time when powering the phone on

6: Select "AP Fastboot" and press Vol+ to select it

7: Select the XML from the extracted SBF file in RSDLite

8: Connect the phone, and when it says "Connected", hit "Start"

9: Wait for the phone to finish flashing, and booting (it will reboot a couple times, leave it alone, its supposed to!)

ROOT STOCK ROM

10: Install and run Petes Motorola Root Tools. Download it HERE

11: Follow the instructions in the app to root your phone

INSTALL SAFESTRAP RECOVERY

12: Once rooted, install one of the following recoveries:

OFFICIAL BY HASHCODE: HERE

UNOFFICIAL BY RICK#2: HERE

13: Reboot your phone, and when prompted, hit MENU to enter SafeStrap Recovery.

BACKUP AND INSTALL NEW ROM

14: MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING! (just a precaution)

15: Go to "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from internal sdcard", then select my ROM's zip file

16: After it installs, back out and reboot the phone

17: YOU HAVE DONE IT! CONGRATS ON YOU NEW STEEL DROID INSTALL!

I would suggest using the latest 1.0.8e release of Rick#2's tweaked Safestrap. It has a lot of safeguards built in that could really save you a bunch of time in flashing and/or testing, and I personally like his menu layout and design. But of course, you still have all the functionality of Hashcodes Safestrap still in place.

Give the ROM time to boot. The first boot took me almost 5 minutes! If your phone doesn't boot in 15 minutes, pull the battery and try again. If it still doesn't boot, you need to go back and start over with my instructions at the beginning!

ALSO: Please be sure to check out the free tethering hack! I use it regularly, and it DOES work. Quite well I might add. Details HERE
