I read this occasionally that people really hate the D3. I don't understand this. Yeh, the screen isn't that good and it's a bit slow sometimes due to 512MB ram.. but the QWERTY makes it a decent enough phone for it not to be hated

I guess the keyboard just isn't that important to me that it makes up for the many shortcomings of this phone. Tired of being stuck on gb
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Even though I don't really miss the hardware keyboard (which isn't that reliable anyway) on the D3 anymore, Susan and I will be taking our Droid3's to Italy when we visit, since the Galaxy Nexus is not a World Phone and cannot accept a GSM sim chip like our unlocked (by Verizon) Droid3 phones are.

Playing Ingress in Italy...that is something to look forward to. Anyone have any suggestions on getting the old D3's working in Italy, please tell us. We will be in Bergamo, mainly, for a couple of weeks at least.

I've been thinking hard about getting myself an S3. As soon as I can get the moolah, I think I will. I mean, I love my D3, but it's capabilities have become limited thanks to VZW and Moto.

@Joe_Carbone new kernel work is tedious. But, I'll run a D3 build on the current kernel so you guys have new toys too.

Nothing about SS 3.1.

So far I think new kernel build will take time because it is again back to stage 1. But yeah I am waiting for it. Currently using JB 10.0. Works fine for me.

Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

Actually it is happening with most people may be because of new kernel. I am sure hash knows the problem and will fix it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What I'm more curious about is what advantages this new kernel has.. At best it's now super fast and stable, but then it still doesn't have camera
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Running the AOKP Feb 18th build and 4.2.2 is running amazing, never seen my phone run this fast. the reboot bug is gone and now the phone reboots without me having to pull the battery. I wouldn't loose hope in the camera just yet I heard that Javerson was at least able to get ducatti to talk to the rear camera sensor, and the devs still working on this phone have been working miracles, just have to be patient
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:

Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

Did some of you getting the black screen try wipe system and make sure you're installing on rom-slot1?

I spent a few hours noodling on a fix for rom-slot1 but ended up reverting to a hard coded slot again for now.
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
yes, I wiped system, deleted all the slots

also deviousmrtaco posted a nandroid, from his phone, and that did not work

would the log from safestrap help? I'll add it to this post in a few mins

edit:i think this is from restoring the nandroid I'll post one from the rom install next

recovery.log

edit: I just tried installing rom again, with out gaaps

and I made sure i wiped Dalvik,factory reset, and system

recoverylog2.log

shows up in device manager like this

edit; this one the phone tried to boot, then rebooted, so I tapped into safestrap

Some ROMs Does NOT Boot... Just Black Screen...

Hello...

I did notice some ROMs does NOT work even on Rom Slot 1... I did try many things... I did detele complately all Rom Slots... And i did create again etc...

For example... KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Oct-18-12.zip works fine... But... aokp_solana_unofficial_Feb-18-13.zip doen NOT!!!

What is the different? Also on the CM10.1... The latest one does NOT boot :(

I wonder why?

Any problem on me? I may try any thing... If you tell me...
[Motorola Droid 3] windraver:
the rom on 1/23/13 works fine with me. Boots on rom slot 1.

I have a habit of deleting the entire rom slot and starting from scratch before installing the latest versions.

Do note that you're referring to unofficial versions which may not be as stable.
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
First time Droid 3 user and have never installed a custom rom, so wanted to confirm the steps before doing so. Is this correct?

1. Install Safestrap [http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap]

2. Enable Safestrap

3. Download ROM (should I use cm-10.1-20130210-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, aokp_solana_unofficial_Feb-18-13.zip, or JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Jan-24-13.zip)?

4. Reboot and enter safestrap by pressing the menu button at the splash screen

5. Create a new ROM slot in SS3, activate that slot, wipe data, then install the ZIP

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
No luck here either.

I'll try AOKP.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I would try the 01-23 [http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130123-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip]build if that one does not work for you. It seems that not many users have gotten ROMs after that one to work.

Also, I saw this on twitter in response to the black screen issue...

Anyone able to tell me about this adding of kernel local_manifest? I did a little Google searching; but didn't really come up with an answer myself that didn't relate to compiling an entire ROM, which I would not think is what needs to be done here.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
local_manifest is for pulling sources and related to compiling, i think he just stated it weirdly, as he is pulling all the aokp, the script that they use isnt going to say sts-dev team. By script, theres a script that takes all the files, once compiled, and bundles them into a nice zip with messages and signatures, etc.

its all related to compiling :P and isnt really the issue. If your curious, theres updater-script, in every flash zip file, buried in the meta-inf folder which is included/created by the other otapackage script

Black screen issues - I think its kernel related...somehow.

Ive been using my own compiles without issues while testing stuff, but my test kernel doesnt have all of hashcodes changes. I can't explain how select few are getting it to boot though.

Just tried recent aokp with my test kernel and i got to logo at least, i just had feb07cm10.1 booted though

Anyone with black screen issues, try flashing v2 custom sensors to get an older kernel after your install cm10/aokp/anything after jan 23rd

from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2034767 be sure to wipe system

Edit: I think i had lingering files somewhere, its stuck on logo for cm now after going back and forth...ugh
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Anything I could due to help as all the builds seemed to be booting fine, I would be doing some debugging myself if my compaq 8710w hadn't broke on me since thats my linux machine along with android dev. If I can offer any assistance just say the word. should have my laptop up and running in the next few days and get back to work (unless if its a motherboard issue, then that would be just dandy)
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
Biggest issue is that adb is broken currently, cant get a dmesg of blackscreen or reboot loop..

Curious, what kernel does it say your using for cm10.1 in about phone?

Otherwise:

Figured out how to get it booting for the time being for people interested...theres lingering files or a missing library somewhere. Ill try to look into it later..stupid homework :P

People interested in testing: (doing it like this probly isnt recommended and might have issues, youve been warned)

the trick is to delete the rom-slot, flash 1/23 then flash 2/10 cm10.1 builds. again i have a test kernel though so your mileage may vary.

Never mind...
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I tried this in the past and it didn't work for me. But since you mentioned something similar to this in an earlier post, I started looking at the CRC values for the files in the kexec folder and found that the kernel and ramdisk.img were both different. I tried taking those two files form the 1/23 build and putting them into the 2/10 build and the screen would flash after it turned black...but still no boot. So in a last ditch effort, I decided to just move the entire contents of the kexec directory from the 1/23 build to the 2/10 build and it actually booted. Now,...I'm not sure if I am getting the full effect of using the 2/10 build because I'm using the kexec files from the 1/23 or what. Someone who knows more about that stuff would have to let me know....but this is what it looks like in the about phone section....

Any word on this yet. Would really like to flash the newest nightly.

[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
Yea, i tried doing install completely from the zips 1/23 and 2/10 and i couldnt get it booting either, i cant get it to not blackscreen with that kernel. Although deviousmrtaco got it booting somehow with the new kernel.That is interesting tho about ramdisk.img. ramdisk.img contains all the init.rc files and what not, none of the other kexec files changed, at least to my knowledge. You would still be getting a full 'cm10.1' experience, just with an older kernel.

Figured out how to get adb working again, 'setprop persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb' once/if u get cm10.1 booting, or change it in the build.prop in zip from mtp,adb to mass_storage,adb. Ill test it out later and see if i can get a dmesg/logcat dump on blackscreen

Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

Latest cm 10.1 build booted for me but i am having few issues ..

Phone is over heating.

It is not accepting charging from laptop.

Cannot connect it as USB storage.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The test AOKP build didn't boot for me but tried doing the Kexec part then rebooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
You mean if I will replace KEXEC folder with OLD KEXEC folder. It will boot, right?

If Yes, then what will be the difference between old versions and new version. So far I think OS kernel makes it fast or slow and provide new features. It mean it will act as same as before.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Because If I am wrong then I will surely give this one shot.

Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

Oh well 18Feb AOKP build succesfully booted on my D3 but bugs are same as New CM 10.1. Overheating means cooldown system isnt working. Charing issue from laptop and cannot connect as usb mass storage to laptop..

I think it wont give you black screen error if you install it in fresh newly created rom slot1. Thats what i did and blackscreen error was gone.. successful boot.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb will get it back to mass storage if u prefer that. Try going into performance and changing governor to hotplug, its currently at performance, which gives u more performance but keeps the processor pegged which might be the overheating issue
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
I used the kexec kernel (thanks Ozguitar67) from jan 23 and got feb 21 CM10.1 going(it hung on black screen or boot looped before replacing kexec folder). Once it got itself settled it is actually running very well. Oh yeah so it is also 4.2.2! which I did not know. But very sweet! Keep up the great work guys.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Exactly. We already have the stuff that the old ICS builds didn't, ducati. Getting the camera to work should be moot. Plus Hash has based this kernel off of his Kindle Fire kernel and he can look at the way Moto did it on the 1GB devices. So now we have the tools. My guess is Alpha 4 will have camera. Also, jonpry has been doing wonderful.

I was able to test google now. GoogleNow works well and I am able to see the cards, but it is a little slow. Still, hats off to udz2002 for making this .zip. There were no instructions in his post for installing, here are mine:

(Original Zip/Post: udz2002)

1. Download Google Now v6-signed.zip and make sure it is somewhere on your phone.

2. Reboot the phone into safestrap

3. Install the zip like you would any rom (install update.zip and then navigate to the zip you downloaded and select yes).

4. Reboot phone and wait. It will update your apps and take a little bit.

5. Once your system has finished booting, open your app drawer and select Google Search (should be a blue square with a white google "g" in it)

6. Follow the prompts until you get to the main screen

7. Go back to your homescreen and hold down the search button on your phone.

8. Select Google Search again (the blue box with the google "g" )

9. You are done!

*You may want to select it as a default when holding down your search button, I did.

** Step number 5 & 6 is REALLY important. I had major performance problems before I figured out that I had to go through those steps.

I am having trouble with gapps seemingly not installing and Play which seems to be the only Google product forces closes on open. I have apps installed from months ago before I gave up hope on ics on Droid 3.

Is there a way to reset my app data or something for the safe system only? I have tried both regular and dalvik cache wipes.

Would love to keep this Rom up for more than a few minutes I just need my gapps and basic other things to be accessible.

Any help is much appreciated.

You need to go to settings / apps and then clear data on Google play market next you must clear Google services framework via the same method. If that doesn't work you will need to wipe.

Running on a Brazil-XT860

Those are issues that might or might not be known + nitpicking the hell out of the rom:

-rotation animations seems broken (screen going black for a moment before rotating 90 degrees)

-screen off animation seems broken (screen going black, then doing the animation)

-slight blue tint on lower brightness (more noticeable in the dark, xt860's OG kernel would recalibrate the screen to a slightly warmer tone on lower brightness level)

-oddly, when i flash ics gapps, the home and the search buttons, stop working. Also some missing items on the power menu.

-keyboard lights are on even when it's closed

-I found that the rom is overclocked do 1.2ghz, overclock modules wont work anymore

-it wont wake up from sleep sometimes, and will start heating up

-camera doesnt work (cant connect to camera)

-phone app worked flawlessy on 1st build (the one that was bad for the radios on the XT862), including data, calls and proper signal level display. now it doesnt anymore, i would happily logcat it if provided with the build

-xt860 for pre-kexec ics fixes data but phone still crashes on dial, also kills wifi

-a LOT less free RAM ( from~250mb to ~160mb), hurts multitasking real bad, especially on ICS.... suspecting it has something to do with ram reserved for ducati/new gfx, is it possible to improve on this?

I am not sure if EDGE/GPRS works for you. For my phone all the builds have data working - but only in EDGE. I can't get a 3G connection. On Sunday, I went back and forth between alpha3 and CM9 - consistently alpha3 showed only Edge and CM9 could connect in 3G. Some other GSM users mentioned that they could get 3G to work. So I am not sure that if this is a specific issue. I have an unlocked xt862. I have tried all the build.prop stuff, setting the network mode, etc. - I can't get the phone to connect in 3G mode while running alpha3.

Yeah I have noticed a bug with the new safestrap. If you shutdown your phone, plugin it in to charge it, and reboot, the device goes into a bootloop.
