Has anyone got their CPU to overclock ok? Mine just reboots. What is weird is the GPU overclocks fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
Is there any GUI front app that n00b can try out without the need to dive into the unix console ?

I tried to get them to work too but couldn't. I just thought i didn't understand how to use them (since theres no real noob guide lol)
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
HI all,

Been away for the holidays, so not much in the way of updates lately.

I've been working on a tiny patch 1.66 with network location fix and some small tweaks.

I've been mostly spending my time on coming up with a method to migrate a safe system over to non-safe.

I've suceeded, and it's well worth it - the phone is noticeably faster when browsing images and other file intensive operations, and battery use is tiiiny.

...but, it seems that might be a bit irrelevant :-

>I'm thinking about upgrading my minimoto tomorrow when Hash come up with his 3.11 safestrap which supports stock flash.

If hash comes up with an official stock flasher, then we'll go that way instead.

So I'll await the new safestrap 3.11, test 1.66 on that, then release it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Why would it matter whether you use non-safe or safe for performance? Because non-safe is located on the SD-card?

I assume you're talking about safestrap (although it's stockrom/rom slots in 3.05).`

Do you have the know-how to implemement reboot/screenshot options in power menu? (framework/androidpolicy)

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Rom slots use virtual disks called "loopback filesystems". These are always slower and more resource intensive than "real" filesystems, regardless of where they're stored.

Not yet, but I doubt it will be difficult to find out how.

See attached screeny for a general idea of battery life. This test was taken with wifi switched on the entire time - there's a 5 minute charging bump in the middle where I plugged the phone in to get some files off it, but apart from that it's all a single charge.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
I think that flashing with CWR would b nice, i think it would be faster as well. Do you know anything about the throttle file?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ok, seems logical. I'm curious what the difference will be, never thought of it like this.

Anyway, for reboot/screenshot you have to edit framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar. Unfortunately copying them from another rom doesn't work.

Thing does overclocking work for you? Can you comment why this ROM doesn't work but something like Maverick or Liberty would? I never did upgrade to the 906 base ROM SBF so could that have something to do with it?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Ah nevermind I figured it out. I downloaded the 890 Opptimizer (http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list and choose the Solana one, not Edison). Then it worked. It was trying to work with the 906 kernel but I'm still on the 890 kernel. Can you add that to post #2?
[Motorola Droid 3] xstrike9999:
I just switched over from Eclipse ROM and I gotta say I'm liking it so far. I would suggest adding default overclock to 1.2 ghz in the next version.

Also, can someone please send me the network location file from 1.60? and tell me where to put it? I really need to use location features.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I'd prefer it stay stock CPU speed - I want as much battery as possible myself. Anybody who wants to overclock should do so on their own, IMHO. (Also, I'm not sure that everybody's D3 is stable at 1.2 GHz.)

Please!
[Motorola Droid 3] xstrike9999:
It was just a suggestion. If that doesn't work, maybe a separate version of the ROM with the overclock to 1.1 or 1.2?

Still need help on getting the location thingy fixed BTW...
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
It would be super cool if the 1.66 version will adopt global APNs. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I agree with Doogald. Someone may not be able to go to 1.2.

You probably can overclock and undervolt your CPU. Opptimizer allows for that.

All you have to do is edit /system/etc/init.d/02overclock (can be done pretty easy using Root Browser Lite). I'll do a little writeup on how I do it:

Note: If you have never upgraded to the 906 SBF but are still on the 890 you will need to download the Solana Opptimizer package. Go to http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/ and click Downloads, click the Solana one, flash it (works with Safestrap 3.05), then reboot.

Step:

1) Download Root Browser Lite from Google Play and open, allowing for root permissions from SuperUser.

2) Open the /system/etc/init.d folder.

3) Tap the 02overclock file and hold down until you get the option to "Open with..." and click "Open as..." (or you may be able to just tap the file and get the menu for step 4.

4) Click Text file.

5) Click RB Text Editor.

6) Here is the meat of the section. The first line makes CPU 0 work on the performance governor (meaning it stays at 100% speed 24/7, like 1 GHz or 1.2 GHz depending on the overclock you give it). The second line brings CPU 1 online. CPU 1 will have a scaling governor that lets it go down to 300 MHz or whatever you set. The next two lines insert the .ko files needed to do the overclock into the kernel so it will work.

After all that, you will see the format (probably commented out with # signs). It is echo (cpuslot) (speed in Hz) (voltage) > /proc/overclock, where (cpuslot) is the slot at which the CPU will run the slowest, or in the middle, or highest and the governor picks a CPU slot depending on CPU load, speed in Hz is the speed the CPU will run at for that slot, and voltage is how many volts go to the CPU (expressed in two digit numbers or uV (microvolts)).

For example, echo 3 1200000000 1375000 > /proc/overclock would run slot 3 at 1.2 GHz (1.2 billion Hz) at 1.375V (1.375 million microvolts) and the greater then sign tells it to write that to the file /proc/overclock. As soon as it gets written the kernel immediately will spike the CPU to 1.2 GHz at 1.375V. Slot 3 is the highest the CPU will run, meaning at full power. Slot 0 is the power savings slot or the slowest it underclocks to (which is what laptops do, like my laptop with a Core 2 Duo is at full power 1.6 GHz but clocks as low as 400 MHz to save battery when the CPU isn't being used).

7) Save and close the file.

8) Hold the file and do the "Open with..." and "Open as..." but this time execute as a script and make sure it's set to run as root.

9) Now your phone is running at a new speed.

If you want to use the VSEL values instead of 1375000 for example, here is a list:

Motorola VSEL Values:

63 = 1400000

62 = 1390000

61 = 1380000

60 = 1370000

59 = 1360000

58 = 1350000

There is an app JRummy made called Android Overclock which you can buy if you want a GUI to control this. It's the only GUI I've seen that does this.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
No worries. I just didn't want Thingonaspring to think that a default overclock was universally wanted...
[Motorola Droid 3] slogar25:
Happy New Year everyone! As always this ROM is the best out for our phones right now and I/we really appreciate the work being done. Thank you.

I have noticed a couple things on 1.65 that im sure you are aware of as I know you use the ROMs you have built as well. I have noticed a weird radio issue in where my radio will turn itself off as well not being able to connect to a phone call,the party will hear me but I wont be able to hear them not sure if this is a ROM issue or a hardware problem on my end. Either way it seemed to have started happening with the 1.65 update.

Also I have some random reboots with this version. Probably has to do with whatever is going on with the radio. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Thanks again for the hard work and I am extremely excited to flash this over the stock side

Sent from my XT862
[Motorola Droid 3] nu2droid:
I just stopped in to say thank you. This rom is simple and yet bad a**.

I am getting much better battery and performance than i ever have. The only change i made was i am using the go launcher as the other was real laggy for me..

Thanks again and keep up the good work.
[Motorola Droid 3] Stam2000:
Just a quick question. Is there anyway to make a patch to make shut down the radio? This was my fiance's old phone and we gave it to my 2 year old who manages to always turn 3g back on. Thanks for a great rom as well

@lotzakritters

can you send/post the png files for your notification power widgets?

I've improved the look for 1.66, but frankly my effort is crap compared to yours.

@doubleyoupee

like the black settings theme, I'll do the same for 1.66

Meanwile 1.66 is pretty much ready, except for the theme tweaks above.

So far it's got reboot+screenshot, updated hololauncher and terminal, optimised camera, frameworks and permissions APKs, fixed networklocation, more compatible flash player (works on more 3rd party browsers) and the usual round of general optimisations.

From the look of things, safestrap for droid3 won't be updated in the near future, so I'll aim to get the release out as soon as I can finish these last theming tweaks.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Sounds really good!!

All I did was use the .apks (systemui, settings, etc) from mavrom 4.5 ;).

Although I guess changing the ones from steeldroid would be better? (since it has better brightness and sound/vibrate/silent toggles).

Only bug left I know is the one with SU permissions, or is that fixed also?

Btw, why do you think safestrap 3.07 for D3 won't come? (since Hash said it on twitter)
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
I'll need to re-style minimoto's one - there's a bunch of modifications in the APK to remove blur-specific code.

Thanks for the tip on mavrom4.5 though - I can save time by sourcing the white icons from there.

I'd forgotten that - it was Tibu complaining wasn't it? Should be an easy one to fix in the installer script.

[edit] - found it, fixed it. Not permissions on SU, busybox version was causing problems, newer version works OK.

I don't have any specific information, I just think it'll be done after the other phones Hash supports, so not in the near future.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
More mods to your rom. I can send you all of the pngs from this and the 1st pic, if you want them.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Yes please. Both sets of pngs would be good.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Np, let me get them together and here you go...
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
Hash said on twitter that 3.12 was nearly ready, I think. If not, it's in the works.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yep it's out for RARZ and ATRIX HD
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
So when do you think the next build will be out? Keep up the good work, thanks again for this awesome Rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
hello.just installed minimoto,it was easy but my droid 3 now doesnt have any more gsm service...

I had flashed the radio to the Chinese Droid 3 one to use it on At&t and it was working perfect on stock,now it wont work on minimoto.

Any help?Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] dabayer:
Sorry for the question but where is the option to activate or deactivate data-connection in the system menu?

Or is the button in the status-bar the only way to do that?
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Hi all,

Good news - new version is up in first post, it's got the following :-

removed libarcsoft.so

removed libpanorama*

removed libphotoflow.so

removed unused ducati files

removed /etc/videoeditorlite

removed Location*

removed Geo*

replaced keyboard with nullkb. for a touch KB, install "hackers keyboard" from the market.

replaced system/app/settings_noblur.apk - lower min brightness - lower battery use with screen on

replaced framework-res.apk - optimised and lower auto brightness - lower battery use with screen on

updated term

updaed hololauncher

updated busybox - fixes Titanium Backup, but it still moans about "su" permissions when installed to a safe romslot (no warning when installed to stock romslot). This is an issue with Tibu, not minimoto ROM.

improved flash player mod

smaller blur-permissions-new.apk

added reboot and screenshot to power menu

added NetworkLocation.apk - fixes network location

optimised camera

systemui icons from lotzakritters

settings icons from lotzakrittes

fixed superuser apk - fixes FC when viewing settings for a given app

Bad news - I had planned a "small patch release" v1.66, but it's ballooned into a massive set of changes, so instead I've had to increment the major version number and issue it as a whole new rom V1.7. Updating from 1.6x won't work I'm afraid, you'll have to do a clean install.

Amazing news - the ROM installer is now just 75.9mb, tiiiny.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Very nice, will try later. Too bad new safestrap isn't out yet - would flash 1.7 to stock. Don't use mavrom anymore anyway.

Will use mavroms settings/systemui though from the looks of it - I like dark style better and it's also easier to the eyes
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Yeah I did look at dark theming the settings, but it's a big job and best done with a general dark theming of the ROM. Was taking too long so it'll have to wait for a later version.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ok. What do you mean too long? I'll just copy the apks and it works. At least it worked on 1.65
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
It's not that simple - minimoto has a customised settings.apk witth a bunch of blur-specific code removed and re-routed, so just overwriting it with mavrom's one does not have the effect I'm looking for.

The only option is to re-theme the apk by hand, and if that's happening, I may as well re-themme the rest of the ROM to match.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
First of all, thanks so much for all your hard work on this. Clicking thanks here seems like a small way to say thanks.

FWIW, on another slot I with another stock ROM (it's the one Q9Nap once provided - stock 906, but the links are no longer available) I don't see the same TiBu message. One difference is that it installs su and busybox to /sytem/xbin as well as /system/bin rather than symlink them from /system/bin. (I believe that Maverick does the same.) I have no idea honestly if that would fix the "problem" (it's not really a problem - you can just turn off the su binary check in TiBu preferences are TiBu runs just fine.) Just thought that I'd mention it...
[Motorola Droid 3] Kanly1:
The new theming is great! Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@doogald

yep - tried copying su from bin to xbin to remove the symlink and verifying correct permissions, but tibu still reports the same error.

I have manually copied romslot1's contents to stock and the warning is not present, symlink or not.

It seems from googling this warning that it's present on a lot of people's phones from various manufacturers with stock and custom roms, and it randomly goes away and returns as the app is updated.

No definitive solution seems to exist.

New addon - Account and Sync Settings

Hi guys,

New addon created - account and sync settings - see OP for details.

I've made this an addon partly to stop too much of the motorola Blur stuff creeping back into the main ROM, and partly because the initial setup experience isn't great.

Either way, it's there if you want it, but I'm not going to force it on everyone.

Power toggles in notification next - they won't be as good as the ICS ones, but we'll get something working,
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
For the love of god ditch this multi upload crap and use www.d-h.st i had 3 windows and 8 tabs open just to download the file. And the download rate is abysmal
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Heheh, that gave me a chuckle. Uploading now.

[edit] Done. Also 1.2 is up in the first post with power toggles, settings FC fixed and a bunch more optimisations.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
In the time it took for you to upload to devhost, and me to download, i had only got 15mb from multiupload
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I like it, it's very snappy, with no over clock. Tons of free ram, even after restoring all my apps and data. it's pretty refreshing to have my phone run this smooth. If i could make a suggestion, could you move the wifi toggle to be on the left, it's weird having it where it is.

Here's a xt860 modded version. If any 860 users want to try this rom

-new libmoto_ril.so, apns-conf.xml

-build.prop tweaks for gsm

-keyboard alt-char fix

-4 bar signal tweak (to keep theme uniformity)

Thanks for the good work!
[Motorola Droid 3] touche112:
This is going to sound weird, but I can't get back into Safestrap. Pressing "Menu" when the Safestrap splash screen comes up just boots the ROM. Haha
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It's a known issue. it's hit or miss. You can power off, then boot while holding m, then scroll to bp tools with vol + and vol- to select. That works every time
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
BIG Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
Hello, can anyone attach here screenshots of this rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
This rom is a plain-vanilla, not much you can get from the aesthetic point :) better focus on the hidden side such as speed, lightweight, etc
[Motorola Droid 3] davibs:
I have a stock 906, installed rom manager, and installed recovery with it.

How to install this rom now?

Thanks

( I'm using droid 3 in italy with english language )
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Yep, that works. Many thanks.

A few things I've noticed:

- Weatherbug Elite force closes. I'm not sure why. It happened in 1.0 as well. I never got a chance to uninstall and reinstall from the market (I had installed it from a TiBu backup) but this time I installed it from the Play Store and it still FCs.

- This is just me, and you can ignore me if you wish on this - it's your ROM - but I am not a fan of the default typeface. It appears the have the same problem as Maverick - you cannot tell the difference between bold and normal text, so apps which use boldface to distinguish text don't look right. Frankly, IMHO there is nothing wrong with the stock font on the Droid 3, and I'm always puzzled why people decide to change it by default.

- This is just me, and you can ignore me on this if you want - it's your ROM - but I also prefer the stock indicator icons (for WiFi, signal strength, etc.)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
You can change the font using rom toolbox. And the signal indicators for that matter

@thingonaspring, any chance we can get 1% battery mod? Or do you know how it's done, I have no problem moddi g it myself if you don't want it in your rom, but i don't know how that mod is done
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
And that includes 2.5 hours if screen time with wifi always on(i did increase scan time and have been home almost the whole time)
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Hi guys, I've been playing more and come up with another update.

OP now includes a V1.2->V1.21 patch to fix weatherbug, extend battery life a LOT and return fonts to stock.

It seems I somehow ended up with the wrong fonts when cooking V1. Good news is - the stock ones are smaller, so we get an even more efficient ROM.

Install the patch over v1.2 using safestrap, and be happy.

Also updated the main rom download to 1.21 for those doing clean installs.
[Motorola Droid 3] Tranzior:
Very nice from )) Nice work, thanks

Screenshots:
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I can confirm that Weatherbug works fine, settings->accounts is good. I haven't seen any other FCs. I have this on a second, non-activated D3 at the moment - I'll put it on my daily phone at some point this week to see how everything else works. If it's stable and gets even a little better battery life, it's staying...
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Found a few occaisional FC's on phone and email so those are now fixed.

Uploaded both the full rom and a patch to v1.22.

The patch can be applied over any previous 1.2x version.
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
....any other languages?
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@boazal

I've done some looking around for language packs, sadly the languages string are all built into the APK files on Droid 3, which means replacing the text has to be done one app at a time.

See the thread here for more info :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796923

To translate one app will require decompiling the APK file, getting someone fluent in both english and the target language to rewrite all the text, then recompiling the APK file.

This must be done for all 90+ APK files, for every langauge.

The only language suport the XT862 came with was english and spanish.

If the info in the thred linked above is correct, without a massive community effort creating APK files for all the necessary languages, I can't see a way to achieve this, sorry.

That said, I'll keep looking to see if its been tackled in some other way.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
To wait or not to wait for safestrap 3.12, that's the question
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
Not sure if this is just my phone, but the virtual keyboard doesn't come up. Just the regular one. Thanks again for the update
[Motorola Droid 3] Daikazetatsu:
I had the same problem I just downloaded TouchPal from the store and set that as my default keyboard and it works great
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Same here. On my xt860 in language & keyboard settings my Input method shows the only option as "Null Keyboard". Thank goodnes for hardware kb!:D

EDIT: Nevermind I see in the update post it was intentionally removed.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I'm curious why it was removed? Is the 'hackers keyboard' from market so much better/smaller? Either way it's another app to install
[Motorola Droid 3] rhcp1253:
I think it's because the d3 has a hardware kb, so one can use the phone without a software kb. This is a minimalistic rom
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I know I use keyboard most of the time.. but sometimes for very short messages or when you can only use one hand its still nice to have
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Nice update thingonaspring! I really like the new power menu and reboot works great. The new theming throughout is very nice. It makes the notification toggles much easier to use.

Thank you sir, keep up the excellent work.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
I always use SwiftKey anyway, so it's not an issue for me. I personally really like the minimal Rom approach. Really digging this Rom.

Ps : I'm really liking the new icons :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
same, i use swiftkey, so the lack of a stock keyboard is fine. I always remove a couple stock apps in favour of my 3rd party apps.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Does swiftkey also "learn" your words when you use the hardware keyboard only?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
tbh idk i hardly use the hard KB, only for long messages

frankly it seems to be not learning very well lately, i've had to "teach" it my friends son's name like 5 times now, but for the most part it gets predictions right, plus i like that i can increase the key height and the themes available
