Droid 3 with 4.4? I am game, I would like to see if KitKat is really aimed for older devices. I love it on my Moto X and Droid 4. Now for the Droid 3, esp considering mine is unlocked. I would like to see SS update soon too. I doubt that will happen but nothing like keep some hopes up.

How does performance compare to the Jelly Bean ROM?

It is faster or laggier?
[Motorola Droid 3] jspdjanggo:
i've solved the mount issue from the instalation manual in cyanogen website

using adb command methods of pushing the cm zip and gapps file from laptop to root directory,

adb push creates cache in the slot 1 root folder, now the cache radio button are select able and normal.
[Motorola Droid 3] Josephdbrewer25:
Cm10.1 is jellybean. Android 4.2 i believe.

Steeldroid's ICS is the best one ive used besides stock. Jellybean and kitkat seems slow while on wifi. While off wifi its decent for me. But every droid 3's performance is different. Like with liquidsmooth jellybean and kitkat on mine the cpu max is 1200 mhz but on my sister's its only 1000 mhz. Its weird.

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

The deleting and recreating the slot is all i know to do, worked for me atleast. Guess i need to learn more about adb.
[Motorola Droid 3] jspdjanggo:
yes i've done delete and create the slot earlier,.

but the 'unable to mount cache' is still showing in safestrap terminal details,.

thats why i over looked again to cyanogen how to instal tutorial page,.

and i try it from adb step,. just to push the file so that cache can be created,.

thats whats my experience solving the mount issue,.

offcourse other flasher might be luckier than me hehe

OOT,.

The cm 10.1 build 0216 nightly seems unstable for me,.

battery drains and the phone is heated above 50 degree celcius

also apps not responding normal often the trebuchet service launcher is failing

the wait and close popup came out also often and few other irragularities, such as process and ui,.

and then i try to tweak the build.props and kernel, cpu profiles see if thing are getting better,.

the result not making the phone usage better,

from 100% battery goes to 0% within about 2hours of minimal usage and standby because its not responsive,.

i have mod the battery from 1450 Mha to 3700 Mha from local service in my town,.

my expectation is to have more hours of using the phone,.

do you have recommendation of the kernel and build.prop values ?

how to have the cm10.1 more useful and to compare with what i read about steeldroid

that has many hours battery lasting and cmiiw the camera works in steel droid ?
[Motorola Droid 3] Josephdbrewer25:
I tried cm10.1 but it was unstable even after tweaking. I just deleted it and tried kitkat. Steeldroids ics, the camera halfway works but sadly anything after 4.0 the camera doesn't work

There is one thing I didn't try on cm10.1, using a swap partition. Works on kitkat

:D
[Motorola Droid 3] jspdjanggo:
which one is the cyanogen kitkat for the d3 ?

as in the cyanogen website, i can only see NIGHTLY 2014 JB there,.

In between this reply ive just now flashed SD3 5600 OC,.

the phone works just the way i want it to be, thats good enough

yes off course no camera or with camera that's even better,.

so that i can give more time to other activity with out worrying the D3,.

CM, LS, SD, AOKP, MAV are to be flashed in Safestrap,.

now im having in about 2 OS of 4 slot available in a single machine !

Though Steel Droid is an ICS and not JB or KK, it rocks :D

[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Hey Hash, I'm not quite sure if this is related to safestrap 2.01.. But I had to do a battery pull on my phone (while it was charging) and my phone decided to boot up the 'non-safe' system (even though I had set safe mode to 'on', running Eclipse 3.0. Nothing bad happened, just did another battery pull without external power. That fixed it.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Okay, I can confirm it bypassing the safestrap menu (menu or search button thing) and going straight to non-safe mode if you reboot with power plugged in. Again, unplug from charger, then battery pull, and it switches back to safe mode (and allows you to use the menu or search buttons to select what you want.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Is it backing up/restoring when you're doing this or do you have to enter the recovery after pulling the battery?

[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
It already comes overclocked. JB will not be worked on until CM9 is stable.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
I'm not in recovery when this happens. If I had to restart my phone (power off, reboot, battery pull), when the usb charger was plugged in, I would not be able to get into safestrap, kinda like it wasn't even installed. If you want to get into recovery, you cannot have the charger plugged in. At least that's how I am now.

Sorry to have caused the confusion. I did mean to compare kexec alpha3 with the non-kexec CM9 version. As I mentioned in my post, I consistently get 3G in non-kexec, but only EDGE in kexec. This continues in alpha4 also.

In any case, I would be traveling in a few days and won't use data at all. I would live with this for a while - it may get fixed in a later build.

I knew there was someone out there that might be able to help me with this thnx a bunch:thumbup:
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@mrobvious

Slightly dumb answer, but it'll avoid any confusion :-

Settings -> Performance -> Processor -> Maximum CPU Frequency

On my Droid 3 running Alpha 4, this shows 1200 as max, and defaulted to that.

Other choices are 1008, 800, 600, 300.

Are you not seeing 1200 on the list?

Just for a laugh, I tried using opptimizer latest version on the kexec kernel, using this version :-

http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/detail?name=mo_simp_1.5_edison-signed.zip&can=2&q=

but it just reports "invalid module format" when I try to insmod the modules, so they'll need to be rebuilt for this kernel, and even then they may not work.

I've now been running A4 as my main ROM for >1 day and it's working really nicely.

Phone+SMS+Data+Wifi are flawless (using GSM with tiny build.prop hack).

Proper ICS hardware acceleration really helps UI and gaming - GTA 3 no longer stutters during play like it used to on GB.

Battery is OK, despite this build not fully supporting deep sleep. It's not perfect, but it's workable.

The only downsides I can see are :-

Camera, LEDs, proximity sensor, HDMI-out and compass don't yet work.

H/W Video playback suffers from A/V sync issues in MX Video player (S/W works fine though, obviously).

I'm not switching back to CM7.1 now, this build is coming along just fine.

[Motorola Droid 3] jonpry:
The new kernel reads some stuff from the eFuse to determine what frequencies to enable. If some people see 1.2ghz and other don't it's probably because only some of the chips were rated for 1.2ghz. So not overclocked, just moto had all devices clocked to 1ghz.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
So no overclocking huh?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I came across a bug while using the phone. This may be related to audio since the error was with the tone received on the other end but when I'm using an ivr (interactive voice recording) I can't interact with the menu, ie "If you want a taco press 0 now" and when I hit 0 I get "incorrect key pressed" and no taco ...

Are we overclocked?

Edit: I played around with a few other ivrs and although the echoing tone doesn't seem to be problematic on these systems it is affecting the original one I noticed it on. Normal roms have no trouble/no echo.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Willis111

Jonpry has pointed out that whether or not you see the "1200" option for cpu speed is down to your individual phone.

Some have eFuses set so that 1200 is a declared as a valid speed for the cpu, others don't.

It's pot luck based on the specific bits of silicon that went into your phone when it was manufactured.

The kexec kernel is just presenting a list of "valid" speeds for your CPU, so technically nobody is overclocking with this kernel.

Regardless of the fact that moto clocked all D3s at 1ghz, the kexec kernel picks the maximum speed that our individual CPUs were assigned in the manufacturing/testing process,
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:

Processor 2:

BogoMips: 1198.9
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
I highly doubt BogoMips is the processor speed. Mines at 1996.68 lol. CPU Frequency is at 1000MHz max
[Motorola Droid 3] jonpry:
Bogomips is approximately twice the frequency on our chips. So 1200 bogomips is 600mhz. It moves around with the throttling of the governor.

Thanks for this. I kept having issues with IVR. After reading your post, I realized that there is an echo of the key when I press the keys fast. e.g I know that balance check for my bank account is 1 followed 1 by 2 followed by #. If press 112# fast there is an echo and the IVR gets confused. However on the same systems, pressing the keys slowly seems to work. There is still some echo of the keys, but the IVRs are OK. This is a bit of a problem for me since I use my calling card regularly and have to press a lot of numbers to get one call through.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
How hard would it be to get the opptimizer modules to work with this kernel? It works pretty good with GB? No hurry.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
They should be able to just put it in the kernel. No need for modules :)

You have ti calibrate your battery every time you flash a new rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Also you guys must not realize the timer doesnt tick while screen is off.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
Logcat will help if you get continued issues. Did you install Alpha 4 over Alpha 3? How long did it stay at 5% or below? You may need to do a battery wipe to be sure, you can download an app from the market or you can do it via safestrap under advanced. I recommend setting the clock to 1.08 under developer settings, set it to hotplug and check apply on boot (if it's clocked at 1.2). Reset phone after doing so. If you continue to have problems after that, wiping is the only thing left.
[Motorola Droid 3] rufh_s:
Yep I installed over a4... from 20% it was like in 15 min. to 1%, however I don't know how long it stayed at 1% will try

Just wiped the battery via safetrap

For me hotplug with 1.008 its heating quite frequently, with interactive (1200) its not heating ( will try with "apply on boot" option)

That's strange, music works over bluetooth to the FM transmitter I use in my car.

No problems with GSM here in Canada on Rogers either. 3G, SMS, and calls are all working just fine after following thingonaspring's instructions (somewhere around page 21 of this thread).

I am getting the occasional frozen phone, but aside from that, can't really complain about the progress that has been made. Hash, you never cease to amaze!
[Motorola Droid 3] pelo88:
Entune (toyota bt apps) works very well for the most part over bluetooth, but bt call audio is staticy as always with ics roms and I got weird things happening with calls while connected..

My car rang and never stopped ringing while my phone showed nothing and I couldn't answer or make it stop.

I disconnected bt and got a call from someone who was trying to call me several times.

I turned off the car and it was back to normal.

I also can't use the email app on Entune. It just stuck on loading and nothing loaded. After I tried I apparently missed a bunch of text messages that never came thru. I saw the other persons phone so I know they sent them. No dropped texts before or since so I blame entune..

I was able to sync my phone book and get pandora and traffic working, so internet is up and running.

We have about 4 batteries that we swap between the 3. I'm always seeing weirdness on mine, like it saying fully charged and sitting at 98% for hours on the charger before going up the last 2%. I also have a cheap extended one that burns down to 1% on any rom then just sits there (I expect this though)

Charge it to 100% and erase battery stats from recovery or w/battery calibration from the market

[Motorola Droid 3] switchblade920:
I'm pretty sure A2DP just hasn't been properly implemented as of yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if a fix came along in a couple of builds. But that said, there's bigger fish to fry with the ROM, namely with camera support and getting the phone to sleep properly.
[Motorola Droid 3] tacosrdelicioso:
Amazing
[Motorola Droid 3] tobby88:
Yes, because 2.00 didn't have the charge-only mode. In 2.01 the charge only mode was added but if you try a NORMAL boot with ac attached, then Safestrap tries to do charge only and stock kernel tries to boot. That's the problem. Better than no charge only mode! And it will be fixed, but lateron. This is not important now. Only remember to plug out ac before boot. You can plug it back in when you see the bootscreen of CM9.
[Motorola Droid 3] Will_Plaice:
I guess everyone has different expectations, a personally don't care about a camera.

and there were posts above saying people have a2dp working.... so i thought one of them might have tweaked something.
