I left my Fascinate in the prime of its JB development. Now everything is stable, but my Fassy is gone.

But the OG DROID to either the Fascinate or D3 is definitely an improvement. I was expecting a huge improvement coming to the D3, but I'm not too sure about that. Of course the D3 is faster buuuuuuut...

When we get ICS all daily driver-like, it'll probably seem more like an upgrade.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kaptinkrunk:
Oh ya once hash gets everything settled all will be good and it will be worth it

Fascinating Devil Helly Bean Sept 4th Devil 1.4.1...
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
You could try running a D3 non-kexec build. It's pretty stable it has everything working but HW accelration. That means youtube can be flaky, there's no flash and chrome doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
That's true, I'm on ICS for long time now and never look back for gingerbread. You have option of CM9, AOKP or Gummy. I posted links of all latest versions in this thread so you can search and try if you want
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
May I ask, what your running, nasty?? Always wondering what people are using on the D3.....
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
I'm currently on Gummy, other vise I'm on AOKP, I'm satisfied with latest Gummy, it running great . what is your prefered rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] Kaptinkrunk:
Gummy is what my friend falls back to everytime

Fascinating Devil Helly Bean Sept 4th Devil 1.4.1...
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
For ICS, Gummy is my first choice too. And I also switch between CM7, Liberty and My own 906 mix.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Can anyone shed some light on why hashcode is testing with the t-mobile SIM? I just read that he needed to use the chinese radio to get it working.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
New CM9 build is up for testing. Hopefully, data is all fixed up:

http://dl.hash-of-codes.com/ROMs/solana/cm9/KEXEC-cm-9-20120905-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip

Double-You-Pee: The reason I had to grab a T-Mobile SIM and use it for testing data on the Droid 3 was because I couldn't re-activate my Verizon 3G SIM in the Droid 3 w/o worrying about losing my unlimited LTE data plan. As I went through the process, it kept asking me to change my data plan.

So, I now have a T-Mobile pre-paid plan which I can test the Droid 3 on at any time. It's basically $2/day any specific day that I use it. And I can pay for refills on the plan via Paypal. I used an XT883 radio image + the related libmoto_ril.so (from the same ROM) and a modified build.prop.

The libs/build.prop file in the new ROM is still setup for Verizon, if you're on a US GSM carrier you'll need to patch up the files like normal.

Let me know how data works on this latest build.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Downloading right now. Will let you know as soon as its done so I can flash away. Awesome hash. Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Awesome, will test in 1 hour.

The reason I asked about the t-mobile SIM is because there might be a difference in US and Europe GSM since Europe GSM doesnt require chinese radio. Will report back later

Edit: so what exactly is the difference with the cm9 build from before? That had data - so this is just the newer cm9 version but now with data? Hoping for a cm10 build with data :)
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
Data is working for me on GSM in Europe

Thanks Hash
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Data is working perfect for me too, here with verizon
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
Hash, is this CM 9.1?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ok ok, I will wait for CM10 with data then :laugh:
[Motorola Droid 3] rufh_s:
Yep! Everything is working as it should in kexec gsm in India (xt862)

Awaiting cm10 ;)

Cheers, thanks again
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
I've been running the KEXEC-cm-9-20120806-UNOFFICIAL-solana ROM for a few weeks. Do I need to wipe data and cache when I flash the new one?

Thanks,

dj
[Motorola Droid 3] sanchezz:
Data works with T-Mobile NL (GSM/3G)!

When setting up my Google account I got a few FC's.

Alternative camera's (like Camera Zoom) are unfortunately not working.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Did you restore from google ?
[Motorola Droid 3] rufh_s:
Is is just mee or wifi is broke? To me wifi is giving problems every after 15 min. Or so it re-connects... can anyone of you please confirm?
[Motorola Droid 3] sanchezz:
No, I didn't.

Google Calendar is also not available, but my Exchange is.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Another data confirmation here. Seems to be improvements in rotation and app switching animations as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] rojocapo:
Data / voice and SMS working here in Movistar Argentina 3G and 2G
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Everything is working for me as well. In answer to my question above about wiping data and cache... I didn't and everything works. I did have to reinstall gapps to get the Google account setup to appear in Accounts & Sync
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Any improvement on battery life?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Updated the OP w/ the new 09/05 CM9 build d/l link. For those that want to use that.

We'll see if I can get a CM10 working...
[Motorola Droid 3] folkmono:
data works on Claro and VIVO Brazill

camera app crash
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
Data seems to work on this build (which his awesome) for Verizon. I do wonder if the 3g meter/indicator is broken though; It looks like its a static image stuck on full signal - Can anyone confirm this?

Also I worry you're stretching yourself too thin trying to maintain several different builds for each device. Otherwise, its working beautifully. As always thanks Hash!
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Good on data for me as well, but the signal indicator was very static for my area. On my GB build it moves around a lot more. It was not pinned at high, so it may just be a different scale.

Very fast and stable outside of the expected items not working.
[Motorola Droid 3] rojocapo:
Signal level indicator is stuck here too. I have always had that on non stok ROMs.
[Motorola Droid 3] 05gsxrk5:
Would it be possible to have a build for CDMA(verizon/non us gsm) and also have a build for GSM(att/tmoble) to make the install easier

oh i just saw the gsm patch is a .zip
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Don't call it CDMA (verizon) because it also works on Europe GSM ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrPib:
Working great on an XT862 on Verizon, after a factory reset / cache reset / dalvik wipe. Even the signal meter is working as expected. My only problem is that I keep hanging up on people when my face hits the huge disconnect button during a call! Once the prox sensor is fixed, I won't have that problem anymore.

THANKS for continuing to plug away at the D3, Hash!
[Motorola Droid 3] Kaptinkrunk:
Pib could you tell me if camera and WiFi tether work yet?

Fascinating Devil Helly Bean Sept 4th Devil 1.4.1...
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
I'm not Pib, but no, the camera doesn't work. As expected since no announcement to the contrary.

Tethering turns on and appears to devices. I'm at work so I didn't try it beyond that.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The Camera doesn't but Wi-Fi Tethering should in theory.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kaptinkrunk:
I ask bec those 2 issues are what keep my friend from using it, I've been trying to get him to help test but he's scared hell brick

Fascinating Devil Helly Bean Sept 4th Devil 1.4.1...
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
It's incredibly difficult to brick the Droid 3 now that we have SBF for all versions.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrPib:
Definitely no camera (included or add-on app),

Looks like wi-fi tether doesn't work either, though I only tried it just now. I get some kind of proxy error on my laptop's web browser.

Might need the changes that I made to stock to get it to work, detailed here:

I'll give it a try when I get a chance.

Plus, using Safestrap, there's virtually no risk in trying new ROMs.

Curious speed issue when downloading.

Anyone having bandwidth constraints on downloading the CM9 ROM? I'm barely getting any kind of speed... hovering around 4.9 KB/S.

[Motorola Droid 3] renatohs:
I'm having a problem call, I made installation of kexec-cm-9-20120905-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip and xt860_ics_patch_Kexec.zip , but when I answer the call or I make call the call not works, no sound in calls in speak and listen.

TIM BRAZIL, could you help me?
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Make sure bluetooth is off (unless you are using a bluetooth headset). I've had the problem you describe with bluetooth on but no headset connected. It seems to have turned itself on a few times. You can turn BT off after answering the call if you're quick enough to do it before they hang up.

The suspense.. testing new RIL changes for the JB builds.

so probably JB with data/cdma/gsm/3g ect. is close too :D

[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
I hope this post isn't too off-topic, but I thought people following this thread might want to hear this news.

"Motorola is also making a commitment to keeping its devices up to date. The company says every Motorola phone introduced in 2011 or 2012 will either be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean soon… or if there are technical reasons why that’s not feasible, the company will offer customers a $100 credit toward the purchase of a new Droid RAZR smartphone."

This statement is from article on Liliputing talking about the next generation of RAZR phones.

[Motorola Droid 3] javitogomezzzz:
i don't really think we are going to get a Jelly Bean update from motorola, we didn't even get ICS...
[Motorola Droid 3] renatohs:
I also think that!
[Motorola Droid 3] yus4eel:
Thats obvious but $100 dollar upgrade credit isnt a bad trade off
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I agree with javitogomezzzz. Moto has already denied the D3 ICS because of technical memory issues, so I don't see JB coming to a D3 near you at anytime unless it's from Hashcode. And even though it is now Moto-Google I don't think that they would put forth the effort that Hashcode has toward the D3 either. The $100 credit isn't that appealing to me because that means new/extended contract if you even can at this time...and I like having a physical keyboard. One of my reasons for the D3. Not to mention that it's also GSM. Good to see Google is trying to give Motorola a better Android image, but I think we're still out of luck for official updates

Installed the 0905 build for CM9 and am running into the infinite loading screen issues.

I did cache wipes before and after the zip install, but still get this infinite boot cycle.

Anyone have any ideas what's at play here?

Disregard. Skipped doing the factory reset after installing the ZIP. Now I'm back up and running on CM9.

[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:

Anyone having issues with the clock on both the lock screen and the notification bar on the latest cm9 build released yesterday? For example, my alarm clock said 3:42am (the right time) and when I turned my screen on the phone it said 12:06am and the after a couple seconds it updated the time to 3:42am/
[Motorola Droid 3] switchblade920:
Yeah, it's a bug that's carried over from previous builds. I have a solid feeling that it won't be ironed out for a while, which is actually perfectly fine to me, to be honest. :P
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
I have the same impression but I haven't done anything to quantify it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DrWowe:
The ICS decision was made under old management. Motorola's new owner has a vested interest in supporting Android so I actually think theres good chance we will see the JB update for Droid3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Assuming Googorola passes down JB, it'll take Verizon a year to approve it. Dunno if the D3 faithful will hold out that long without updating their devices...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It's called leaks. :p
[Motorola Droid 3] rblanca:
Please pleople stop dreaming and talking about that on this topic...it's not related... if we i'll have a 4.X working rom will be from hash...

Same problem for me on the 9/5 KEXEC on an XT862, on Verizon CDMA. I'd done a factory reset/cache format/dalvik clear before installing.

Happened a few times, at the end of the calls.

In my case it was during the calls
[Motorola Droid 3] MrPib:
Well *that's* not good!
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
Did you upgrade to latest Google maps? (6.10?).

My phone started to act up (reboot/gets stuck, etc) after I upgraded to latest google maps and google +.

I rolled back the upgrade and everything is fine now.
[Motorola Droid 3] rufh_s:
In anticipation of fixing our camera and "off loading" hash's work I tried to contact "rapmv78" (hope you all remember him,the guy who fixed our non-kexec camera :) ) here's what he replied

" Thanks. Have been busy with stuff. Will try to see what I can do when I can get some time :) "

Although not having camera is not a deal breaker for me, I am using cm9 kexec as my DD..will use cm10 if data/voice is fixed but having camera is always handy ( not sure when last time I used my camcorder)

Keeping my fingers crossed..hope rapmv78 gets some time

On a side note: All d3 developers seems to have moved on and started developing other devices :( that's the reason I have gr8 respect for hashcode although he uses d4 now/ so many other devices he supports but always first up for d3 ( btw I always thought he will not as soon I got to know he is getting d4)

Understanding developing scenario: I am also curious to know how can we get more developers to get work on our device? ( as far as I understand it seems hash is quite "burdening" himself ) and its always good 3/4 minds working differently for ideas and Development..etc, if any of you have some ideas please pm ( if its not related to this thread).. I know we have locked bootloader but as I understand from dhacker and others with kexec we have achieved what bootloaders can? So why aren't developers still attracted? is it lack of awareness?

Also will the new safestrap hash has planned to release attract more developers? I.e they ll be able to load kexec kernel and their modified roms/builds?

Honestly I have no other option but to use my d3( I am not contract bound) but still, there's's no better physical keyboard android phone at the moment d4 is just like d3 but I can have it once I am sure it can have stable jellybean ( moto promised till the end of the year..let's see if it includes d4)

Can't have photon q due to their ****ty hardware lock I..e embedded gsm sim ( can't use in India) :(

So no other alternatives, just imagine what if there was no hash,jonpry...etc

Still have hopes xx
[Motorola Droid 3] vbhokiefan:
Once everything is working, I know Team Maverick will be working on an ICS/JB stuff.
[Motorola Droid 3] MissionImprobable:
Just wanted to wish you guys luck. Took a lot of cooperation from Devs to get the D2 ICS Roms up to snuff but it happened and I'm sure it will on your end as well. Shame that Moto abandoned the sleekest Droid to date and left you guys twisting in the wind.
[Motorola Droid 3] nasty007:
We must be patient because only Hash, jonpry and DHacker are working on it, its a lot work for just 3 guys to do it, and they also have family and work.

For me waiting is hardest thing but there is nothing else then wait.

And once again I wanna thank Hash and crew for spending there time to make cool ROMs for us
[Motorola Droid 3] s1ice:
Thanks team!

Yep guys...massive rep to all of you. It is really sad that there are very few developers for this device. I just got mine and it totally rocks my socks off! Since developers are obviously power users, its weird that more of them arent attracted to the awesome hard keyboard. So keep doing what you are doing! I've done a computer science degree (and got a distinction :D), I learn quickly and stuff too, and I'd like to help on this project...

Whats a good place to start building up the skillset necessary for this type of thing?

Peace and love :good::good::good:
[Motorola Droid 3] MerkXR4:
I'm currently having an issue with a low battery/recharging. Being that I just went to the 09/05 version of CM9, I've been doing a lot of playing around, changing home screens, restoring apps, etc. This lead to a dead battery by the end of the day and I'm having an issue getting it to charge properly. When I plug in the cable the 'dual core' logo shows up and it immediately tries to boot. The phone doesn't have enough battery to do this and kind of boot-loops until I unplug the power cable (at which time the screen will just go blank). Sometimes I can get into the Bootstrap menu and once in a while I see the CM9 load screen but it never gets through that.

Suggestions? Is this a known issue?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Are you using safestrap 2.00/2.01?
[Motorola Droid 3] SeiferTV:
Ghetto, but:

-pull the battery,

-plug the phone

-let it boot

-put the batterry in

-let it charge

-?????

- PROFIT!!!11one
[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
I had the same catch 22: if you let the battery die, you can't charge the battery till you boot, and you can't boot till you charge. Plugging in will go to bootloop.

Fixes:

Try plugging it into a PC with a USB cable instead of an AC charger.

Charge the battery in an external charger for a few minutes, then boot and charge.

You can cut a usb charger and attach the wires directly to the battery. Google for more info.

Let us know what happens.
[Motorola Droid 3] switchblade920:
It's still a bug that has to be addressed though... :P

Yeah, I've been getting this same issue. Looks like the phone isn't going into charging mode on the latest KEXEC build. I've had to keep switching back to safe system just to get charging mode, but I guess I'll have to try the ghetto method XD. Easiest way around it is to not let your phone die. :P
[Motorola Droid 3] SeiferTV:
There's a version of safestrap that fixes that if I'm not mistaken.

You might wanna look into that.
[Motorola Droid 3] vbhokiefan:
2.01 has the charging "feature"

2.10 fixes it
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Feels like a month ago when all that charging stuff got fixed with the latest SS 2.10.......
[Motorola Droid 3] vbhokiefan:
Aug 22 i think, just seems like a lot of people never updated.
[Motorola Droid 3] MerkXR4:
I actually JUST updated to 2.10 prior to flashing the new 20120905 nightly CM9 ROM. grr. ummm, will the droid actually let you start-up without a battery in (only power cable)? I feel like I haven't ever been able to do that but haven't been able to test it yet since I am at work. It will be the first thing I try when I get home.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
[Motorola Droid 3] switchblade920:
I am on the latest version of safestrap, and it was working just fine on the previous build. So, something got broken in this build.
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
So I had something interesting with my rom. I'm running the pre-kexec cm9 build I believe the 8/4 one and my battery died. I decided to charge it through my cable box with just the usb cable of course and the light next to the charge port came on. It didn't just flash on and off it stayed on, i was shocked to see it working lol.

Anyways glad to see the roms are coming along, good things come to those who wait so I will wait with zen like patience woosah!
[Motorola Droid 3] Eddie73:
Hi,

It seems there is a problem with safestrap 2.1. In my unsafe system (running stock 906 (xt862)) in software like linpack android or mpac multithread there was no speed difference wether 1 or 2 threads were used.

Uninstalling safestrap solved this. I didnt check my safe system (cm9) though.

Can anyone check this?

Greetings

Eddie
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
Safestrap in no way affects processor speed. I believe something else may have caused this. Sorry!
[Motorola Droid 3] Eddie73:
Probably you are right. The difference varies a lot and on the droid it still seems low.. (on my tegra 2 multithreading almost doubles the performance) So probably false alarm from my side.

Greetings Eddie
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Is there a fix for data on Jelly Bean yet? I may be trying to fix it soon.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Not yet, at least hash hasn't mentioned anything yet!
[Motorola Droid 3] MerkXR4:
So I ended up figuring out that there IS an issue with SS 2.10. It doesn't charge when you have safe system enabled and you are working on your modified system. If you toggle the safe system mode, though, and have it set to boot to you original system, it does charge (and you can quick press the power button to get the current charge percent without booting it up.

The weird thing I noticed though: the battery was too low to boot on my secondary CM9 system so I toggled back to the original system. After toggling systems and powering the phone off, I tapped the power button to check the battery level (assuming it would be 0%). This was NOT the case. It actually said the battery level was something like 70%. At this point I held the power button and it started right up. This all happened this morning and I was able to get to work with the phone on battery power and still above 50%.

Seems like this may be an issue with SS and not the ROM, but figured I would summarize my issue so that someone with more expertise could take a look. Thanks for all the help guys.
