Hello sirs;

I like this rom so much... I did try and i noticed everything works very nice and it has very long battery life... Any way, But i hate american dialing format... Is there any way to change this?

I am from turkey and i am not used to see that kind of dialing number format.... 146-465-4566... some thing like this... Is this possible to change this?

Thanks a LOT!

Does ANYONE read the actual posts in this thread?

@Palmwangja: The zip file you downloaded is corrupt and cannot be installed. There are 3 posts directly above yours that mention this...

I am drooling with anticipation for the moment when the issue is corrected, I want to install this so bad.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Sincere, grovelling apologies guys, seems that upload didn't go properly.

I've reuploaded - link updated in first post.

[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Allow me to rephrase my question to avoid angering anyone. Once this download is fixed, can the new version be installed over an existing installation or should we wipe for best results?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I just installed it on Safestrap 3.05. I'm in the middle of setting things up, but, so far, all is running well.

I forgot to mention before that I was getting a weird SU error message in Titanium Backup in the 1.3 release. This version gets the same error.

"Your ROM is rooted by the 'su' binary has non-optimal access rights, which can cause problems. Titanium Backup Pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases - do you want to proceed".

Tapping "Yes, do it" does not fix the problem - it recurs on the next boot. I haven't looked at the su binary using Root Explorer yet to check on permissions myself, but not sure if you know what's going on...

There is a setting in TiBu to squelch that error message but it'd be nice not to need that.

(By the way, the zip does flash, but trying to unzip it on my Mac using the built-in unarchiver gives an error message, and unzipping with a third party utility reveals that the meta-inf, system and data folders within the zip have a weird permissions setting. I do like to verify ROM zips by unzipping on a computer first, and bo other ROMs have that issue, so if that is fixable, that would be great...)

Perhaps it was referencing a previous, flashable version that was already running?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
For myself,while I was able to flash overtop of the previous version, I had a whole lot of fcs on my user apps like whatsapp, soundcloud, tibu, swiftkey. I ended up doing a fresh install. Also when I was viewing the zip on my computer I noticed that the build.prop had odd permissions. I had no reaad or write access. I had to change permissions on it in order to edit it. After restoring my apps the phone seemed very prone to freezing for a couple of reboots, but now everything seems good

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

I also have the tibu wrong su permission warning. Oddly when it "fixes" it it says changed from 0:0[6755] to 0:0[6755] so im not sure what the problem is in the first place

@thingonaspring: Have I mentioned that I love you? :p

Thanks for re-uploading it so quickly!
[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
Does this work on the XT860? I see that Endroid modded the build.prop for a previous version to make it work. Is there a "patch" that I need to use to get it to work?

there is a patch for data connection out there somewhere but it doesn't fix the keyboard mapping or the signal icon fix. I'll upload my modded version. Give me a few

[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
Thanks I'll try it out! :D
[Motorola Droid 3] y0himba:
Been running it for 8 hours now, and let me tell you, this is the BEST ROM I have run yet. It feels so fast, solid and the battery life is incredible.
[Motorola Droid 3] lewrydiboys:
Thank you, Endoroid and all you guys tryin' to keep this phone alive. Gonna flash it right now.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I know. My battery life has been amazing and the best I have ever had with this phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Agreed. As much as I hate the blur look, I love not worrying about my battery. I can listen to music for 6 hours, have 2 hours of screen time and still have enough battery after work to last until bedtime. And it's smooth and snappy without any oc
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
HI Guys,

Thanks for the positive feedback - I'll be honest I made this ROM to fit my own tastes, so it's really good to hear that others are getting good use from it too.

I'm currently looking for bits+bobs to put into the next release, thought I'd ask around for what might be useful to you guys.

So far I have :-

- More image/APK optimisations, there's always more that can be done, but I'd estimate these can only be improved about 5-10% from their present state

- Add google quicksearch

- Look into reports of MMS problems - can anyone give me a full description of the MMS issues they're having?

A logcat output of the error would be really handy. To get this, open terminal, type "su; logcat >/sdcard/logcat.txt", go use MMS to cause the error, go back to terminal, hit VOL_DOWN+C, then send me /sdcard/logcat.txt).

Er, that's it. You can see why I need some new ideas here.

Quick note on the recent battery improvements - these were a side effect of an attempt to improve the zipaligning APKs http://developer.android.com/tools/help/zipalign.html by storing all APK contents uncompressed.

This worked more or less as intended, but it also meant that loading any resource from an APK is now much faster and uses less CPU. Since android is constantly loading/unloading little sections of the APK files, this ends up saving a lot of battery over a full day's use.

I'm not sure why this approach isn't more commonly used in custom ROMs. There are probably some downsides to it, increased use of filesystem caches/buffers being an obvious one, but those are at least partly offset by the increased use of memory-mapped uncompressed resources.

If you want to try this out on whatever apps you've downloaded from the market, open terminal then do "su; cd /data/app; repack_apks". It'll take a while to run, depending on how many apps you've downloaded, and of course any updates downloaded will need to be repacked again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
Good evening guys, tell me how to change the user agent of the browser?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
In the address bar, enter about:debug and launch. It will show your previous page, but menu->more->settings will now expose a UAString control at the bottom.

My understanding is that this is not persistent, so you may be better off with Dolphin Browser...

Secondly, I've been running this for two days now. It's absolutely fantastic. Before I was running a stock 5.7.906 based ROM that I manually debloated (and added ADW EX as the launcher, while removing the stock), and that was running fine for me, but this is much better. I don't have enough data to clearly say that battery is better yet, though one full day so far it certainly looks that way (stock debloated can be pretty decent.) Typically, I go to bed with somewhere between 40% and 60% battery left, depending on how much I am away from WiFi and using 3G; yesterday it was 67%, so it's looking great so far.

I'd love the search button to be working again, but that's a nitpick - it's easy to select search from an icon/appdrawer.

thingonaspring, this is awesome. Thanks so much.
[Motorola Droid 3] Buckaru11:
Been using this rom for about a day now,love the 1% battery, my only request is that the dock screens work other than tah love it.

Thank you for all your hard work
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Tanzior

The default browser is now forced to use the "Desktop" user agent at all times.

I'm afraid this means you can't use the about:debug trick to go back to mobile/ipad mode though - it won't have any effect.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
So, really not help .. On MavRom I could play video via a third-party video player (MX player for example) or download via file loader (DVGet). But this firmware it begins play via Flash Player in the browser. I tried to remove the flash player, did not help
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Well, I'd love to see the toggle widgets in the notification area improved, but I believe that you are already working on that. I also wouldn't mind seeing an autosync toggle in there. Not 100% necessary, but it's one toggle widget that I use in the power control widget at the moment.

As for other ideas, this may be impossible, but getting the Razr Gingerbread-style lock screen, with the camera toggle, would be great.

I haven't sent or received an MMS message yet - it happens rarely for me - but perhaps I'll try something later today...
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
I found the solution - the user agent needed to change to Froyo-N1

Guys who know how to make it work ADW Launcher with a standard calendar widget?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I have successfully sent several mms but have not had the chance to see if I can receive
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
Why we do not use Holo launcher as default lancher in this rom ? It has smaller size, but work so quickly as ADW
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
There are lots of great free calendar widgets in the market (which are better than stock - stock agenda does not show today's all-day events, but does show tomorrow's, which is dumb.) . APW has a great calendar widget. You will not be able to get the Blur calendar widget to work with anything but the stock Motorola launcher.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

So far, limited testing of MMS show that multimedia messages get sent ok, and I can receive text back, but I do not receive back any photos that are sent via MMS. The media is lost.
[Motorola Droid 3] slogar25:
I agree Holo Launcher is a nice and simple launcher that is similar to a stock launcher. And as much as I do like ADW, I think it lags a bit at times especially if you get heavy with the customized theming it offers. Plus you can use the ADW themes with Holo as well as bringing an updated look to gingerbread with an AOSP feel.

Sent from my XT862
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I can, in fact, receive MMS photo messages with media. Apparently the photo that I was trying to send the first time was rejected by VZW.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Cool, thanks doogald. So I'll strike MMS off the list and take a look at holo launcher - not tried it before so I'll keep an open mind.

[edit] Holo launcher looks like a really good choice, lower mem/disk use than ADW. Seems nice+stable so far, and it has the odd side effect of replacing loads of icons with their ICS equivalents.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
Please also consider Samsung email.apk or Xperia semcemail.apk, which has been supporting better UI/functionalities such as HTML, etc. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Go with launcher pro, fastest, smoothest, least resource using, simplest.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
These likely won't work, many Samsung apps only work on Samsung roms, they need resources from the Samsung framework, various libraries. We would end up bloating the rom back up to get these functional. I could be wrong of course, I haven't tried these specific apps, but i have tried using other Samsung apps in cm roms to no avail. I don't know about xperia apps.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Endoriod, you're right on both counts. The Samsung and Sense email systems depend on large framework sets the size of Blur. Even if it were possible to make those play nicely with motorola's setup (deeply unlikely), it would go against the "less is more" idea of this ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Would it be possible to edit the framework.jar file for smooth scrolling? Is it the same framework.jar from 1.3? I can upload mine.

Also what about the ATRIX camera? This one takes forever to load.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
When I installed this it broke ss3 for me, was not able to get back into recovery after reboot. The slpash screen would show up and when I hit the menu button it would vibrate but would just boot straight into your rom. I finally got into ss3 through BP tools ( after several attempts as well) and erased everything including rom slot and have not had the issue since. I'm not sure if it is a ss3 problem or a rom problem but just wanted to put it out there. Not being able to get back to safestrap was a little nerve racking to say the least lol. I really like the idea of what your going for with this and look forward to trying it again, but I'm at least gonna wait untill its updated before I give it ago again lol. Thanks and keep up the good work
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
it's an ss3 problem, it happened to me in both a kexec rom and mavrom 4 and this rom. I just always access through bp tools now, as it always works. Through splash screen is hit or miss
[Motorola Droid 3] dabayer:
hello,

it is possible to change the buttons in the taskbar where i can activate flightmodus, BT, silent etc...?
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Mr Obvious - please do upload the framework jar - minimoto uses unmodified framework.jar from 5.906 through all versions so far, so yours will still be valid.

I'll take a look at atrix camera too, the blur one is a bit slow.

Meanwhile I've been hard at work on a new version based on holo launcher, which is working nicely.

I've also ripped out gallery, photoeditor and videoplayer, replacing all 3 with GalleryICS from the market.

It's a much better gallery app and includes its own photo editor and video player.

I've also modded the camera app to compress JPEGs using 100% quality (normally it's 75%), and to integrate it with GalleryICS.

It shouldn't be too hard to repeat those mods on Atrix camera if it works out well as a replacement.

Lastly there's been a ton more optimisation. The rom now checks in at <90mb for the installer.

It's not yet ready to upload though, still trying out new features.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
great jobs!

what about non-working search button thing ??
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Lemme figure out how to upload it. The Tapatalk app doesn't sadly.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@palmwanga

>non-working search button?

I did fix that, but then the problem went away.

The next build (uploading now) uses Hololauncher which doesn't default to shoving a non-functioning search box on the main desktop.

@MrObvious

Any time mate, I'll work into the next build.

[edit] v1.5 is up now. It has :-

- GalleryICS - new faster, nicer gallery including new video player and photoeditor. The old blur gallery, vidplayer, photoeditor are removed.

- Atrix camera. faster camera app with better image quality. This has been modified to integrate with GalleryICS, force 100% JPEG quality, and to play nicely with our D3s.

- Holo launcher. Very efficient launcher, also pushes and ICS icon theme onto most apps, which is nice.

- N1 Magic Alarm. Replaces Blur Alarm Clock, which was very big and slow for a simple alarm app.

- Setup process simplified. Blur setup icon no longer installs, installation of accounts+settings is now silent with no additional setup wizard.

- Tons more optimisations. The installer zip is now 89.4mb. It's been a long-term aim to get it <90mb, so I'm pleased with that.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Excellent news on 1.5. I'll be flashing shortly...

I haven't tried 1.5 yet, but through the last version, pressing the hardware search button did nothing. (I also believe that the search widget in ADW did nothing, but I could be remembering that wrong.) Adding the stock GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to /system/app (and verifying permissions are rw,r,r) solved that problem. If you are using Safestrap, switch to stock, copy that file from /system/app to sd, re-activate the slot for minimoto, copy the file to /system/app and change the permissions and you'll be all set.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Here ya go. Just lop off the .zip on the framework.jar and place it in /system/framework with 644 (read for everyone, write for just owner) permissions and the search apk as described the post above.

You can use Root Browser Lite to do this.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
For the framework.jar replacement, is a Dalvik wipe necessary/advisable, or does it not matter?
[Motorola Droid 3] Kanly1:
In 1.5 I no longer have a camera app in the app drawer. Other than that I love the changes.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Found some probs with 1.5 myself - not least the account setup isn't working as intended - it really is some horrible code to work with.

Patched 1.51 on its way with quicksearch, smoothscroll and fixed account setup.

@Kanly1 - are you on xt860? I hear that the Atrix cam won't work on that - no way to test it though. If so, I'll post up a patched original camera APK for you.

[Edit] - Patched v1.51 version in OP. Includes smooth scrolling (thanks MrObvious), QuickSearch (booo - it takes up space, I'll optimise it later) and reverted to an older but functional patched Setup.apk while I work out the kinks in that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kanly1:
I'm using an 862 on vzw. Will try again with a full wipe.
[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
What do I have to change to get 1. 51 to work on the XT860? I copied my build prop from the 1. 45 build I'm using but it says invalid sim.

By the way, this is the best droid 3 rom out Imo. I can last 2-3 days with 2-3 hours of screen time before I need to charge it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
you also need /system/lib/libmoto_ril.so /etc/apns-conf.xml

the build.prop edits, in case you're wondering are

ro.telephony.default_network=7

change 7 to 3

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

change 1 to 0

and add

ro.mot.phonemode.numsignalbars=4

@thingonaspring

on 1.51 i noticed the build.prop line

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

is commeneted out. I haven't tried flashing yet to see how it will affect it on my 860, but what's the reasoning behind this?

edit: i forgot you also need /system/usr/keylayout/ and /system/usr/keychars/

copy the contents of both folders. Or just use mine when i upload it later tonight or tomorrow
[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
I'll just wait for you to upload yours since I had no problems with your 1.45 version :laugh:
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Endoroid

>ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1 commented

No reason, wasn't aware that was the case. Not sure what the default value would be, but I do remember its only purpose is to make a GSM signal look worse than it actually is.

@Faideelah/Endoroid

It's be good to come up with a patch for 860 users - except I have no way to test one.

Either way I'd really like some feedback on whether or not this atrix cam works on xt860.

Meanwhile I'm evaluating the CM7 MMS app as a replacement for the Blur one. It's about the same size as Blur's, but uses less RAM and has a much, much better featureset.

The icon is nicer too :)

data roaming checkbox

Hi,

where is the 'data roaming' checkbox ?
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
The data roaming option was part of data manager, which has been ripped out.

Instead, the phone will roam if the network permits it, and it's down to the user to disable data in areas where that's a problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I actually swap in the cm7 one after installing on my phone cause I like it better. The reason I manually make the changes for the 860 instead of a flash able zip is because if their are any build.prop changes between version, they'll get lost when we flash the patch.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
FM Radio crashed when you try to save fm stantion
[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
I would help test the patch if one was made. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It's not a matter of testing, i've made these changes on numerous roms, and there is a patch that has most of these fixes. It would be trivial to make a general use, flashable zip. However, if thingonaspring made any build.prop changes for optimization, when you flashed the zip, it would overwrite the build.prop and you would lose those optimizations, which is why i do it manually. It started when i was flashing different roms all the time, i was losing some of the tweaks that made the rom worth flashing in the first place. Really, it takes me all of 5 minutes do do it. I have all the relevant files on my computer so i dl the rom to my comp, drop the files into the zip in the appropriate spot and then transfer to the phone. Easy peasy
[Motorola Droid 3] Faideelah:
That makes sense. I followed your directions from above and I got 1.50 working on my XT860 :cyclops:
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The atrix camera seems to work on my 860. Not that I ever use the stock camera. It does open faster than my 3rd party app, by quite a bit actually.

Anyone having an issue with widgets occasionally being semi transparent. And when you touch any part of it itbecomes opaque again

Give that a try. It's for liberty but it should work all the same. If you've already flashed you can just use something like root explorer or rom toolbox to make the edit.
[Motorola Droid 3] DustinEarnhardt:
Please humor me for what could be a very stupid question.

This is going to be the first ROM that I've installed since its the first one that I think was actually developed with interests similar to mine (speed, stability, no crazy graphics). Now that I'm finally motivated to make the plunge into flashing, I've done my homework on SafeStrap and I think I'm good there. What I couldn't find an answer to is does replacing the ROM wipe all your apps? Primarily, I don't want to lose my text messages. (Currently using Handcent).

thingonaspring, thanks for developing this ROM. I'm finally excited about my phone again thanks to you!!
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Once you create a new slot in Safestrap (or enable safe mode on Safestrap 1 or 2) you have essentially wiped data, so, yes.

For text messages, there is an app called SMS Backup and Restore in the market that can back them up from stock and restore them on another ROM. However, Motorola does some weird things with time stamps on text messages compared with stock Android and other OEMs, so first you need an app called SMS Time Fix and set it the adjustment method to "Use phone's time."

[edit - the weird thing is that when you restore, all messages get the date/time stamp of the restore time, rather than when they were originally sent/received. You still get all of the messages, but they look like they all came in the same day and time. The SMS Time Fix seems to do something to fix that.]

So, install SMS Time Fix and change that setting.

Install SMS Backup and Restore and backup your messages to SD.

Install Safestrap, do what you need to depending on the version to install the ROM and flash it, install those two apps after you set up the ROM, in that order, and restore your messages. That's what I have done; it works.
