Thanks, but could I reenable the account sync setttings somewhat urgently by myself?

I needed to set up for google+ instant upload, but G+ fc'd at settings... which seems related to this missing menu.

I was able to download using the PutLocker link yesterday. I just tried again, and it worked. (Chrome on my Mac... I always use a computer to download and get to the device either by direct connect or via Dropbox.)

@Cyrus221

You're looking at the interstitial advert between multiupload and the actual download site. Click "Skip Ad" in the top right, then you goto the actual download.

Don't blame me, blame crafty tactics by multiupload's commercial partners.

@palmwangja

I've found the reason AccountAndSyncSettings.apk isn't simply working when I reinstate it - it depends on moto's "blur" account syncing engine, which is heavily woven into a lot of the stuff I've removed to make this rom so small and efficient in the first place.

If we enable that bunch of settings, then the rom loses much of its point - being small and fast.

Instead of that, I'm looking at getting CM7's apk for the same function to work instead.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Thanks for taking the time to try this. If you can get CM7's to work, that could be a big plus.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
Thanks, sounds like a plan.

BTW, Will there be any chance of getting a widget on notification bar, just like any other ICS roms?

Your rom seems really promising, and can be one of the best daily driver.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Sadly not. 1.6 is a massive rewrite of how accounts are stored and presented - too many changes for me to make a patch from 1.5.

Safest bet is to back everything up in safestrap and use titanium backup to migrate your stuff after a clean install.
[Motorola Droid 3] Uronlyfriend:
Oh I cant read, the patch on your oringinal post is for 6 to 6.1 lol my bad. Looking forward to flashing!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
@thingonaspring just fyi I haven't been able to update any of your rom releases. I get massive fc's on user apps. I've had to do a clean install and restore from tibu every time. Just saying
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Just flashed this last night and am very inpressed with it so far. Nice work
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try it without TiBU. I never have had good experiences with that program. It always introduces some kind of bug.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Yep - they've not been designed to be updates, so your experiences unpacking one rom over another aren't surprising.

Given the rate of change this rom has seen, I'll change the way updates are made to a different pattern.

I'll keep the major version downloadable on the first post, plus the latest patch.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
You say gallery has been replaced in the 1.61.

So what happens if you click on a taken picture in camera? I understood that this was hardcoded to atrix/blur gallery.

Or does the gallery still exist next to qiuckpic?

Edit: oh, and was exactly has been removed from google apps?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Try reading that again. Using tibu is the way that works. I'm saying I can't flash over the previous. And I've never had a problem with tibu ever, so long as you only use it for user apps
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
The package, class and intent are hard coded into the atrix camera app, which has been modified to launch quickpic.

The 1.61 patch includes this modified camera app.

Everything but the bare minimum apps/services to sync contacts/calendar and connect to the market to go get google play.

The remaining apps, Market and google quicksearch have been stripped of assets for non droid3 DPI (ldpi, mdpi, xhdpi, tvdpi) then repacked using zip store compression and zipaligned to maximise the chances their resources can use mmap() rather than being explicitly loaded into memory.
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
This is by far the best rom for Droid 3 to date.

I did the fps hack to the camera XML file, the camera is way better, I also set memory management to strict in rom toolbox, stripped out file manager and replaced with root explorer, stripped out holo launcher and replaced with launcher pro, (way smoother), battery life is awesome, also performance is really good, no need to overclock at all.

Thanks for all your work, I hope to see you continue to build this bareboned style rom for more devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
Hi, im having some issues. When i try to call *611 (assistance number of my carrier), it calls to +1-908-559-4899 (and I've disabled the Assited calling).

Other weird thing, I get "Insert sim card" in the unlock screen.

Also, ive got always a "multitouch input" FC if I use the phone in Spanish (to fix this, ive installed swype).

I have an XT860.

Camera works fine (FullHD video playback and recording).

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Which version are you on?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Can you share that please for the rest of us?
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
What exactly would you like me to share?
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
How does one turn off 3G data?

I don't see the option in the settings any more to turn off the cellular data.

My prepaid provider's cellular data rate is VERY expensive so I would prefer to turn it off and leave it off. (I only use Internet when Wifi is available)

I suppose, I could use Droid wall to restrict the data usage, but it would be preferable to turn off the cellular data all together.

Previously, I THINK it used to be under power settings or battery settings or something like that, but that option is no longer there.

Could you possibly provide a patch to have that setting visible again? Or is there a reliable app to do the function?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
It's in the pulldown menu, just scroll to the right and tap the up/down arrow icon.
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
I actually just found it. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
Installed rom earlier today and I can say its pretty nice so far, great job. I've noticed that the power menu does not have the reboot options that are normally found in roms. I personally think this would be a good addition into this rom.

Has anyone tried running the V6 supercharger scripts for 3G/WI-FI? Or will they even work?

Also noticed that the signal bars indicate a little higher that actual amout of signal as per app: OPEN SIGNAL MAPS that can be found on the play store.

@thingonaspring. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Camera XML ;)

And I assume you just removed the apk for file manager and installed root browser.

I'm gonna give this a try now instead of mavrom as GB rom.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

OK just installed v1.61, and it's very fast. Looking good.

Some remarks:

1) Is there a way to change the notification power toggles dropdown (background) colour? It's currently grey/white and IMO ugly compared to the rest :(!

2) Pattern unlock doesn't work! It saves the pattern but uses stock unlock anyway

3) Like with Eclipse, the desktop drawer from hololauncher is noticeably low FPS when scrolling.. It's a shame because it looks really good. Switched to my old launcher.

4) I agree it would be nice to have screenshot and reboot options in the power menu

5) Volume keys don't wake, but I think this can be fixed in /usr/keylayout edit: it works only 1/10 times

6) I just tried this, but when you click on your taken picture, it opens quickpic but does not open the picture :crying:
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I agree, but I just use the app Quick Boot. It's a two-tap solution (which the power menu option is as well.) (I believe that there are reboot widgets in the Play Store as well.)
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
Heres my hacked camera xml file, it will drastically improve your fps.

Make sure to put it in "system/etc" folder. http://db.tt/6X12bm8i
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
Im on 1.61.

I can make calls fine, but when i call *611, it calls that number.

Also, all the keyboard is messed up, I mean, when i hit alt, none of the marked keys appears. Neither the arrow keys work as expected.

Its a nice rom, but these issues arevery annoying,
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What do you mean? my alt keys and arrows work fine
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Key mapping is different on the xt860. Droid3 roms do not work properly on the xt860 without some mods

Pull from your stock rom the following

/system/lib/libmoto_ril.so

/etc/apns-conf.xml

and the entire contents of

/system/usr/keylayout/

/system/usr/keychars/

Place them into your custom rom and make the following changes to /system/build.prop

ro.telephony.default_network=7

Change 7 to 3 and add the following lines

ro.mot.phonemode.numsignalbars=4

ro.ril.hep=0

Also make sure

ro.mot.verizonglobalphone

Is commented out

I'll upload my version later today for any who want

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Anyone got volume rockers to wake properly? /keylayout looks good volume up/down both have WAKE.

Will go back later to JB until the issues I mentioned on previous page are fixed
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
Thank you Endoroid. But there is still a flaw, if I call *611, it still calls +1-908-559-4899. I have disabled Assisted Calling and I've configured Argentine Republic as Reference country (and matches the "current country").

Also, I have a low signal icon and a low signal as I see (-97dBm, 8 asu), but this could be the place where I am.

Everything else mentioned in the first post, works as expected.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
*611 does the same for me, I'm not sure why.

You can try uncommenting

ro.mot.phonemode.vzglobalphone

And make sure the value is 0

This line causes us gsm networks to display a poor signal strength.

I think it may also have something to do with the line

ro.mot.phonemode.numsignalbars

May have something to do with it. Gsm networks generally use a 5 bar system, while cdma is 4. I add that line to roms as only the 4 bar icons get themed, and rom toolbox icon changer only changes the 4 bar icons. I did notice that 4 bars seem to always show low signal strength. Personally I would rather have the themeing, I hate the stock icons. You can try changing the value to 5(or even 6, the stock rom supports this and it's likely they are still present in this rom) or just comment the line right out.

Make sure you reboot after any changes to the build.prop to get them to take effect
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Look in ##program?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Does nothing on my device
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
Hello, i have tried the vzglobalphone config, but it doesnt change the *611 flaw.

I haven't tried the bars, because i dont care too much. Maybe on a newer version, it will come skinned with 5 or 6 bars.

Neither on mine. Tried ##program (and it gets converted to #7764726).
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
Minimoto v1.61 - (sometime)

Less is less

.

from my XT860 experience, you need to available the "Data roaming" for 3G support

(Setting --> Battery & data manager --> Data delivery --> Data roaming )

but the option is missing......
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Hi all,

I'd love to come up with an xt860 patch, and with the info posted by endoroid earlier, it seems we may have the majority of the info required.

The reason I've not ported this to860 is quite simple - I don't have one to test with, so I'd be guessing as to whether it was any good.

On the subject of guessing - what is *611?

[edit] canadian phone company sevice number?

From the look of other xt860 roms, one of the principle differences is build.prop.

Has anyone tried replacing build.prop with a known good xt860 version?

You won't lose anything significant from trying it, minimoto only changes 3 settings from stock, window events per sec 64, heapsize 64 and vzwglobalphone commented out.
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
So far, this rom is very nice. Only 1 minor issue for me. Yahoo email app's background service is keep dying. Resulting in no mail notification until I start the yahoo app.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I think that this is a Yahoo Mail app issue, not a Minimoto issue. Read the reviews for the new version; everyone is complaining about missing notifications.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail&hl=en

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

For Verizon, that is the customer service number from a mobile phone. The 1-908-559-4899 number is the customer service number for technical support for international global phone customers. It's on the bottom of this page: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/faqs/International Services and Roaming/faq_global_phone.html

My guess is that the dialer is trying to be helpful for a Verizon customer who travels and uses GSM to change *611 to that number maybe?
[Motorola Droid 3] ChannerT:
This rom is awesome, haven't really had time to test it out until today but everything runs smoothly and the battery life is absolutely phenomenal. And id say I've put it through moderate use, been playing words with friends most of the day, been reading articles with different news apps, did some web browsing and even downloaded a couple large torrents and im still sitting at 63% battery. Very impressive =)
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
I woulld like to ask one thing. As in all custom roms without blur, I can't link facebook accounts to contacts. Ive tried showing just facebooks contacts, and nothing appears. I have all my contacts in my google account (under "My Contacts" sync folder).

There is a fix for this?

Oh, other thing. When you charge the battery, the "charging" animation in the notification bar isn't skinned.

PS: My carrier is Claro from Argentina, and it seems that it uses the same customer support number as verizon. Maybe this could be fixed using the stock dialer from my claro rom. Or better, using the dialer from CM :) (that would be awesome)

Has anyone had trouble with the gps? turned it on today and couldnt find a signal for over 15 minutes id say. Im still on 1.5 (I know, Im behind :P) so if people with 1.6 are having no problems I'll just upgrade and and then see if its just me. It couldve just been cause it was cloudy lol

Try Facebook Sync from the market to link your contacts and Facebook accounts.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
If you have a Mac, you can use the app Cobook to link your Google contacts and Facebook contacts. This way I don't have to bother with the phone syncing them, then having to edit every time I reinstall a ROM or wipe data because "Sue Smith" and "Susan Smith" are not exact matches, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
HI All,

Quick build update.

I've now got an HDMI cable to test with, and can confirm the previous HDMI patch didn't fully work, so that's fixed in the next build. For the curious or impatient - it's a missing package "PortalStandalone.apk".

I looked into using Dolphin as a browser again (can't remember who suggested this) but despite being a really nice browser, it's just too heavy for this ROM. Dolphin is a 5.7Mb package, compared to 780kb for the stock browser. So instead of that, I'm concentrating on making the built-in browser better.

With that in mind, I optimised the browser some more, forced debug mode at all times (no more need to do "about:debug" to get all the menu options) and cleaned up the code to force the desktop browser UA string. I'm also looking into replacing the webkit core, which would be a big step forward, but so far that's not going so well.

Lots more unused services, libs and resources have been removed, but there's more to do on that yet.

I'm working towards a 1.65 patch update later in the week, if all my tests pan out OK.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
What about using Dolphin Mini? It's a really good option for a browser because it's so minimal. I remember when it came out I used it a lot because it was faster than stock and had better features. It's up to you but its only .99 MB. So while betting a bit larger than stock it also has more features that come with Dolphin.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Any word on:

- Lockscreen pattern not working?

- Volume keys not waking?

- Changing notification drop down to black background?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Uronlyfriend:
Although my vote definitiley goes to dolphin, opera mini is only 908k, and although Ive never used it, im sure its better then stock. but, I guess it makes more sense to just use the smallest on (ie stock) and let the owner decide if they want to install an additional one.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
My only issue with any of the mini browsers is that I don't like the idea of caching proxy browsers (or, browsers that render on a server and just deliver the screen to the phone) as a default browser. For occasional use, maybe; but, as far as I am concerned, Opera, or Dolphin, has no business knowing which sites I want to see, particularly SSL sites. (I can't tell from the description of Dolphin Mini if it is a caching proxy browser like Opera Mini or not...)

Maybe I'm just paranoid...
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Lockscreens is notabug. Just set the timer to "when the screen is off" and it performs as expected.

Volume keys, not sure I care that much, was this original behaviour the stock rom?

Notification backdrop - black would be nicer. I'll take a look.

On the subject of mini browsers, I'm with doogald.

Using a caching proxy browser violates my employer's security rules.
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
I don't know about other 2 issues, but Volume key does wake up my phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thanks for your reply.

Yes original behavior (and all other roms I've tried) are woken by volume keys. I use this all the time to check my phone for time/messages since the power button is a PITA (can't be the only one who things this). For CyanogenMod it's a option.

Normally, this can be changed in the /usr/keylayout files (like omap-keypad) but they seem correct. For some reason volume keys on minimoto only sometimes wake my phone.

I'll wait for your new version and go back to minimoto!
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
My volume keys wake my device on minimoto, and have not noticed them not working.

On another note I noticed a problem with the launcher, not sure but its probably the launcher its self but when you try to change the app drawer background color in launcher settings it force closes holo launcher.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
found the launcher FC problem, will be fixed for next build
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
Very nice thanks for your work
[Motorola Droid 3] cocus:
i would like to ask other thing. gmail doesnt sync automatically my emails anymore. now i have to click "refresh" in the gmail app to start thesync. pretty annoying!

i remember there was an option in the config (its removed i think) that has something to do with this.

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Uronlyfriend:
I played around with the keys and discovered that at least for me, a quick double tap on the volume up button consistently wakes my phone. This doesnt work with the volume down, just the up one. But thats the only consistent way via the volume keys as far as I can see, for now. Then again, Im still on 1.5, so that might impact it a bit. But peculiar, to say the least!
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Good to see I'm not the only one - at least it's not like it's supposed to be

Go to Accounts in settings, click your Gmail account, and check Sync Gmail.
[Motorola Droid 3] Uronlyfriend:
I guess this is opinion based, but with the couple of issues ive been hearing, should I go ahead and flash the updated rom now, or wait till the next build? I'm still rocking 1.5, and have everything set up nicely so I'm not really in a rush I guess lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Having rebooted to stock and tested volume wake on that, there's not much difference to minimoto 1.61.

Two taps of up/down vol wakes stock. Two taps of up vol wakes minimoto, but not down.

Am just checking the keymap files as I've not consciously modified these, but a small difference may have crept in back in V1.2 on when I first used /etc from mavrom to get it booting under safestrap.

[edit] nope, keymap is bit-for-bit identical to stock, but never mind, have found a way to implement vol key wake properly here :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585309

The technique needed some modifying to work with D3's keymap and our own implementation of isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(), but it works like a charm for both vol up+down with only a single tap. Note that the volume wake won't work for 2 seconds after the screen is locked, while the phone descends into full sleep mode.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Weird.. I have had single tap wake on all roms I've ever tried except this one.

Will try the method you mentioned
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
V1.65 is now up on the first post, plus a patch from 1.6x to 1.65.

New in this version :-

- Black notification area, looks much cooler

- Vol up/down wake done properly

- New browser mod with more optimisations, better desktop mode patch and always shows debug menus (no more need to go "about:debug")

- HDMI fixed and tested (a lot easier now I have the HDMI cable)

- Phone and Dialer have a new optimised skin, saving ~300K of resources, it's a bit simplistic, but does the trick

- Camera lowlight FPS hack

- hololauncher FC problem fixed

- latest mobicalc

- Lots more dead motorola services/libs/frameworks removed

The full ROM installer is now down to 78.6mb, which I'm really pleased with.

I really didn't imagine it could go that small when I started this.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thanks! Really nice you actually listen to feedback and apply it! Gonna try right away.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Ok, patched to 1.65:

Unfortunately for me volume still doesn't wake (also not after pressing 2x or 100x). Perhaps it needs a wipe. Edit: now it works (didn't wipe).. I don't know whats going on. It really didn't work before.

The pattern unlock indeed works now (when screen is off). However, the stock slide-unlock is still in place and I have to slide first, then do the pattern.

Apparently, some others have seen this in the stock ROM but some also haven't. Very weird. Is this a bug or something that can be removed?

The new notification drawer looks really nice. Just curious, is this easy to change these colors by myself? I can hardly see which one is on and which is off :angel:

Had this on 1.6x: Titanium Backup says: "Your ROM is rooted by the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems"

Tried to install the app "no lock" to see if it removes the lockscreen, but it says "Unknown error code during application install: "-110"

Ps. Sorry for all the comments :silly:
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
About the volume keys. Every time I a comment about it I test it and I get a different result every time. Sometimes it works sometimes not
