XT860 testings

Hi people,

first of all as always: many many thanks to Hashcode work.

I've been using my XT860 for a long time before switching to D4 (and soon to Photon Q with SIM mod), and i'm willing to give the old device to a friend who is a fervent free software advocate. So I've been waiting for a KEXEC rom working on it before I even try to speak with him about it :)

And there is some hope there: by using all 3 (libmoto_ril.so, libmoto_nwif_ril.so and libmoto_qmi_ril.so) libmoto's from the Razr latest build (http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130125-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip) i've been able to get signal and to place a call on the french GSM network.

I have some errors in radio logcat, but not that much, and still: this is good news.

Now gonna try to get some data.
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Could this be the reason neither the home nor car dock are detected in this build? They were both detected in earlier builds.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
I installed the latest build of CM10.1 and all is well, including the signal. I was just wondering why CM10.1 lacks the ROM Control and Developer Options sections in the System Settings. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Settings/About Phone then tap on Build Number like 5 times to show developer options.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Thank you, my friend.

EDIT: Sorry to be so persistent with the questions, but I just noticed ADB is not working, and have the device drivers installed. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
I dont think the sensors would affect the dock working tbh, but i could be wrong.

Heres the new libsensors by itself as the kernel patch is included, just not the updated library in current builds

Let me know if it helps, i dont have a dock at all to test
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
you enabled android debugging?
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
I have enabled it. But, in ADB when I type "adb devices", nothing registers. Getting a driver installation error for MTP. I tried installing the drivers from Microsoft Download. That didn't help with the driver installation either. :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
adb is not working for me, either

but at least I was able to enable adb debugging so titanium stopped complaining

thanks Caldair
[Motorola Droid 3] Poursinet:
Have you changed anything in build.prop ? While trying to get data connection on GSM networks I saw that whatever line I change into it, adb stops working in this ROM (or at least only from time to time with loooong delays between outputs).
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Thanks for the patch. You are right - that doesn't fix the dock detection. I flashed the patch successfully but the dock still isn't detected. Something changed in the 1-23 build.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
I think a lot changed in 1-23 and even more is changing now while STS Team is working on merging the device trees of their repos. I am very interested to see the next build, after all the work is done.:victory:

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

Well, i used the search function, but without a result. How smooth is this rom exactly? Im mean in terms of....smoothness.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
:laugh:Well, since you put it that way... In terms of smoothness, this rom is quite smooth! :p

But seriously these roms are all very nice to look at, polished if you will. JB is beautiful. So it all looks very smooth. There are some hangs while loading apps for me, especially those that request SU permission. But overall, in terms of... smoothness, I'd say quite smooth.

Camera

Even though in this thread it is said that camera support is a no go, I read hashcode's blog and it says it might be possible in the future.

Does anyone know what is the status of the camera support on CM10 for droid3? Is it going to be possible or not?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
anything's possible, someone could find a test d3 ics update.zip on a moto server

without that, someone will have to spend a lot of time getting the camera to work
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
You said yourself that hash has mentioned its blog that it can be possible in future. You need to be patient and wait for results.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 PM ----------

Exactly. Few things need time to make it work.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I asked him and he said:

So I said:

"I guess the chance of getting help from Motorola/TI is next to 0 at this point?"

And he replied:
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
Sound Weird!
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
moto has a contract with verizon, if they violate the terms of that contract(s), they could get sued for $millions

moto designs the 'droid'(s) for verizon, under the terms of the contract(s)

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

verizon doesn't want you to be able to root, let alone install a custom rom

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

if moto helps make a rom better, it undermines verizons control of their phones
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I think it's this^

However I don't believe there's not a way to give Hashcode what he needs without anyone even knowing.

I mean he could just say he fixed it himself or something, I doubt they're gonna force him to send over stuff so they can check it
[Motorola Droid 3] ravandel:
Hey guys!

I tried to find the answer in the previous posts but I don't see it anywhere, I tried to flash the newest version of JB on my xt860, but all I got is just a black screen, I m using safestrap 3. If there is a special way to flash it it would be nice if someone could paste it up in the first comment.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Did you install to Rom Slot 1? You have to with these cm10.1 builds.:good:
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
After messing around with trying to get the camera working off and on in my spare time here is where we stand:

1) Actual implementation needs to be compiled into and with Ducati with a driver - You should see the issue there

2) We have Omnivision 8820 and 7739 cameras in our phone, all those data sheets are wrapped in NDA or u have to request for them -- Yuck

3) There is a patch that uses Video4Linux which hashcode threw into current code that uses cpu (i think) instead of ducati/mpu which should work fine, the issue is that it still requires a custom driver to make it work. In this driver we need like 4-5 GPIO's along with the correct regulators turned on to make it even turn on, along with dozens of registers worth of settings for calibration and other settings in the sensor.

There is 192 possible GPIO's and 20 some regulators, they also have to be enabled in the right order for the sensor to turn on.

So its a huge brute force/guess and check among among other things. I'm trying various methods and have some information but its still a pain cause everything we would need is in the stock ducati :(

Hopefully this helps answers some questions
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Is there a way to clone a ROM from Slot 1 to another slot? My daily driver is in Slot 1 and I don't want to risk fubaring it to play with CM 10.1...
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Hate to be this guy, but...search.
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Dammit... I figured since we were right there on the topic... but still should have searched first. Thanks for the link.

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

Thanks! I'm a little disapointed..but hopes that someday we have a fully working 4.X android on our Droid 3. Thanks again and sorry 4 my crappy english
[Motorola Droid 3] mikeymike75:
Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

I am working on the ADB issue as well. As I have tried adjustments with the build.prop and no success, I am now moving to the init to see if I can find the issue there. I will post if I find it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
It does. Basically, the bottom line is, it's going to be easier to win the lottery.

I think it's safe to say it's game over for Droid 3 camera + ICS/JB. At least we know now.

I'll stick to GB and continue looking at a replacement device. Pity, but I guess it happens!

Thanks for taking the time out to have a peek at it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Aye, a mighty bummer this is. Right now I'm stuck between grabbing a Droid 4 ($50 via Amazon, and my account is eligible for an upgrade) or waiting for a Droid 5. There has been all of nothing in terms of rumors or leaks about a D5, and I'm really hoping Motorola actually makes one. If I knew a D5 was on the way, I'd wait and put up with Gingerbread... but since there isn't, I sort of want to just grab a D4.

Bah.
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
I decided to jump ship and go with a nexus 4 and I love this phone it's a beast.
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
I'd get a Nexus yesterday if there was a flagship model with a physical keyboard. That's the thing which anchored me to the Droid lineup all this time - the spectacular keyboard. I've tried lots of software keyboards, and I'm nowhere near as fast as I am with real keys to push. Old habits die hard, and the Nexus devices are gorgeous.
[Motorola Droid 3] gadgetrants:
I thought the D4 just got put on to Verizon's end-of-life list -- I would probably skip it. Also, are you one of the lucky few with unlimited data, or are you on a shared plan? It makes a big difference if you do the upgrade.

-Matt
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
verizon is going to stop selling the D4, but it is still available on amazon, at the moment
[Motorola Droid 3] Poursinet:
I switched for D4 monthes ago (buying it on eBay) but now I use a SIM modded Photon Q (which really is a D5 anyway). Hope this one gets soon some ROM love.
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
It's a goram shame the Photon Q is only available for Sprint - it's a nice device, but Verizon is the only provider with any decent service in my area...

Bollocks =/
[Motorola Droid 3] Poursinet:
I thought this was what the SIM mod is made for (removing the Sprint chip on the board and replacing it with a micro-sim reader) as I use my Photon Q on an european network with an european SIM without a glitch, but nobody has reported this hack to work on Verizon yet AFAIK.

David (@dhacker29) just posted an hour or so ago on twitter the following:

Droid 3 solana CM10.1 update http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130207-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip …

Don't know whats new or whatnot just thought I would share the love. Also if your looking for updates I suggest following him on twitter along with Hashcode.
[Motorola Droid 3] oostah:
theres a domx test build up for cm 10.1 what is domx?

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/cm10.1/domx-test-cm-10.1-20130207-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I don't know about either ^ :D

Maybe they integrated libs...

But they were also merging something else I think, I guess we'll have to wait and see :p
[Motorola Droid 3] DowneyJM:
has anyone had an issue with the aokp build and the phone saying the MEID number is unavailable? im flashing the newest cm build but ive always preferred the aokp over the cm. Honestly tho i think its pretty damn cool to have JB on my droid 3. Thanx to all who contribute their time and effort.
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
I believe the domx is ducatti related, dHacker asked users to test that build to see where HD codecs for netflix/youtube work, post test results here. I personally tried the non domx version and it felt incredibly fast. Thanks to the devs for their continued work on our phones
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Really? That sucks... really aren't any other decent keyboard phones on VZW. If the D4 has been EOL'd, I guess part of me wants to get one even more as it might be the last VZW qwerty phone for a while. That's a serious bummer... the keyboard is a dealbreaker for me.

Naw, I didn't act fast enough when unlimited data was getting the ax. I'm around Wi-Fi for the vast majority of my days, so it's not really much of an issue for me personally.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Tried installing the new builds. They install with no problem, but when I reboot, I get nothing but a black screen. If I plug in the USB at the black screen, the computer reacts, so the device is on, but not booting. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
How did you install them? I didn't do anything just flashed them over my existing 4.2 installation no cache, gapps install or anything of that sort. are you sure you're on rom slot 1?
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Yeah. I am on ROM slot 1. I wiped everything prior to installing though. I'll go back and re-install the previous build and try installing over that. Thanks for the prompt reply.
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Just happened to be in the neighborhood, anyway tell me if that works for you. I try my best to help people out when they need it
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I had the same experience with both the new builds. Wiped and installed to ROM slot 1, got nothing but black screen on boot. I didn't try to install over an existing installation though. I think I'll wait to hear more before trying again. Good to know I'm not the only one that got this though
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Hate to say it, but that didn't work for me. Any chance, devious, that you have a different phone model than I do? I have a Verizon XT-862 (USA).

Don't want to seem a nag, but has anyone yet got any info on the killrom stuff on Goo?
[Motorola Droid 3] the_linkin3000:
Re: [WIP][KERNEL][KEXEC] JB ROMS For Droid 3 [01/23: MMS/Kbd Backlight FIX]

Yeah, those are roms made by DHacker, I suppose based on the kexec kernel. Buy I think I read somewhere that he stopped building those a while ago.

Hi,

I just purchased a Droid 3 and have never installed a custom rom before, so please forgive my questions.

A. What are the advantages and disadvantages of staying stock and using this rom?

B. Is this the procedure to install this rom:

1. One-click root

2. Download cm-10.1-20130207-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip

3. How to install the rom? Where do I put the .zip file? Should I use the Goo manager app referenced here? http://goo.im/howto-rom-updating-via-our-app

Thanks in advance,

Grayson
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Lol that's very weird both builds flashed fine for me, I'm using an xt862 US on verizion, not sure why the builds worked for me only, guess I got lucky

Here's a pic so to show you i'm not joking around or anything
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Pros and Cons are really personal preference, so I don't want to go there...

But as far as procedure, I'd say it's something like this:

1. Root

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

3. Enable Safestrap

4. Download a ROM from http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/cm10.1 that is not dated 02/07/2013 (they seem to not work for me)

5. Download the correct version of gApps for your ROM from [http://goo.im/gapps] (20121212 for CM10.1)

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

7. Create a new ROM slot in slot-1, necessary for CM10.1 ROMs currently

8. Install ROM and GApps

9. Reboot and enjoy

That's the gist of it, but there are also instructions on Hashcode's blog that is linked above

You can put the zip files where ever you want on your sdcard or phone, safestrap will let you navigate to and choose what files to install
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Thanks so much! I'll give it a try.

Is there any functionality that is lost over stock when using this rom, such as recording videos?
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Last I can remember is No Camera/Video recording, No GPS, No BT/Issues with BT...but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe some other users can chime in with info
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
I think no camera/video recording is going to be a deal breaker for my wife :/
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
so i dont' see anyone talking about the feb 7th build anywhere. is it no good? i installed it and it runs but my phone is sluggish as hell. this is the first of the kexec builds i've ever tried so i'm not sure how it should run
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
That's the build everyone is talking about right now, my friend. And, consider yourself the lucky number two, because only you and one other had a successful install and bootup. The rest of us installed it, but it doesn't boot. I'd recommend an earlier build for maximum functionality and performance (1/23 build is latest and best).
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
it seems like everyone else installed the domx test build. i didnt' try that one just ran with the first one. i guess i'll let this run for a bit and see what happens

what bugs me out is that i dragged my old epic 4g out of the drawer and installed cm10.1 on it and it runs rings around the d3. THIS IS NOT A SHOT AT HASHCODE. just an observation. in fact even though it is just a single core phone the epic 4g always ran a hell of a lot smoother then the d3 ever did. i remember when that phone came out no one ever thought non touchwiz roms would run on it. everyone was saying that if samsung kept with not supporting their phones then they'd never make it. now that phone runs everything under the sun. crazy
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Like I said, the 1/23 build will be much smoother and much more functional. I am thankful that we at least have people developing for this damn phone at all. I got this phone because, at the time, Verizon had a buy-one-get-one-free special, and got one for my wife, too. I don't want to rant, but I have had several Motorola phones in the past, and will never use one again, as they have all been trouble.
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
The Feb 7 build for me has been really fast imo, But I have set strict memory management in rom toolbox and have governor set to hotplug or performance
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
it seems to have settled in for me a bit. i hope hash throws up a changelog for us if he gets a chance. gonna stick with this for a while and see what happens

edit:: ok this thing is pretty damn smooth. and its nice to have the chrome browser back

edit 2:: spoke too soon. input lag is pretty bad. not sure if its this build or just 4.2 in general. gonna leave it on overnight and see how it feels tomorrow.

P.S. i HATE the droid 3 with a passion
[Motorola Droid 3] Adm.Wiggin:
black screen findings

I did a completely clean fresh install on a newly-created rom-slot1, and ran into the black screen issue. I actually seem to have had a worse time than the others reporting this issue, as I couldn't get back into safestrap without doing an adb shell, opening /ss/safestrap/active_slot in vi, and switching it to "stock" manually (then "reboot"ing).

I also tried flashing cm-10.1-20130123-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, then flashing cm-10.1-20130207-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip on top, but still no dice. I didn't test flashing 0123 then booting it successfully, then flashing 0207 on top, but 0123 worked by itself (obviously). I also tried KEXEC-cm-10 and then 0207, but with the same broken result as a clean flash and a flash on top of 0123.

Also, when I was on the black screen, I snagged the following logcat (which was repeating endlessly): http://pastebin.com/czmZidEt

Hopefully this helps someone, most especially hashcode or dhacker. I'm definitely grateful for all the hard work they're doing on behalf of our poor Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] jaxenroth:
Im using the vzw D2 unlocked. im a little lost (i use a gnex). i had hashcodes unoff 12/2012/something build up and running data/voice/sms on T-mobile, but i could not access the play store, kept fc'n, cleared data in app, but no go. so i flashed the 1/23 build everything works but i have no radio, baseband shows unknow. now if i flash the gsm fix from hashcode it just bootloops. any help would be wonderful. thx. jake
[Motorola Droid 3] Adm.Wiggin:

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

Hi guys,

A quick update on what I'm doing atm.

I've been taking the kexec kernel and walking back through every problem that it is currently having.

This includes the high battery drain, and other "oddness" only present after kexec.

Right now I'm working on the current kernel code, but I may go back and do a completely new build up of the kernel starting back from the 3.0.8 RAZR kernel again and work my way forward applying all of the fixes I have in the current branch.

This would create a much nicer git history helping to maintain the kernel in the future.

TL;DR: All of the current bugs in the kexec kernel have been identified and Im working on fixes. There is still no fix for the camera due to proprietary files which dont exist for the 3.0 kernel.
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Thank you, Hashcode, for all your hard work!
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Wow! Didn't expect that. Thanks for this, I will test right away when the new build hits.

and here is the decryption key: JwUXXbJQ!AyO7uFAMsIoeZX-5vZVnD2yJb4ZwGkKBLVU6NapG7is

make sure to unrar the file and place it in TWRP backups, flash to slot 1 with a 1GB user data partition, should boot into a clean copy of cm-10.1-20130210-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. file size should be around 214 megs compressed, I'll see to getting a logcat later tonight.
