Hello,first I would like to thank Thingonaspring for this awesome rom,I love it,I have just started on the modding side of android,so I am a modding noob,and was wondering where I could find the lockscreen at,as I really like the lockscreen of the 2.3.6 rom ,and seeing as Thingonaspring was so nice to deodex it for us I was hopping I could just pull it from that rom and place it in this one ,or do I have to decompile an .apk to do that?

Any and all help would be very much appreciated, thank you
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Hiya, the lockscreen is in Settings.apk.

I'm currently taking a look at the 2.3.6 with the hope of making a new minimoto based on it, but it's a lot of work, so won't be very soon.

Wifi thether doesn't work?

Hi, first off I wanna say I love this ROM. My battery life is leaps and bounds better than the last ROM I used, so thanks!!

I just went to setup wifi tether in anticipation of this New England blizzard, and I noticed the wifi tether app from Playstore doesn't work (Verizon hotspot page comes up when trying to browse web). If it makes a difference, it did work on the previous ROM (Eclipse).

Can anyone advise if they got wifi tether working, and if so how? Perhaps the radio hack method?

Thanks in advance for any advice...
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Hi everyone,

I've never installed a custom rom and am afraid, but would like to give this one a try. Does anyone have an procedures on how to do it? How would I get back to stock if I don't like it?

Are these the steps?

1. Root using one-click root [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1240130]

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

3. Enable Safestrap

4. Download ROM from [http://d-h.st/bI1]

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

6. Create a new ROM slot in SS3 (how?), activate that slot (how?), wipe data (how?), then install the ZIP (save it to any place on the phone and run?

7. What's next? How do I install the ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Pretty much what you said. However I think you need to use motofail rather than one-click root for .906 firmware.

About 6: all the things you mentioned are pretty straight forward once you are in safestrap :). Create slot > activate slot > install zip

About 7: You install it just by installing the zip. You only wipe before installing if there's another ROM on the slot already
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Thanks! Is this the motofail file that I need? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B26Hj6_2TMNTb285UzNfSFhHZUk/edit
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
When you start Safestrap 3.05, there is a menu of touchable boxes. The top left is called (I believe) "Boot Options". Tap that. It will list your stock system on the right, which will be highlighted in blue (to show that it is the active slot) and then four possible ROM slots on the left. Tap one of those and, if you have never created a slot before, it will prompt you for the size of the data partition (if you install a lot of apps, I recommend 2 GB, which is what the stock uses, though you can certainly choose smaller if you won't need that much.) When you tap the button to create the slot, it will take a few minutes to prepare the various virtual partitions on internal storage.

When you create a slot, I *think* it automatically activates it. If not...

After tapping the "Boot options" button, tap the ROM slot that you want to activate. Its box will be highlighted in blue when it is active.

If you have just created the slot then it should not need to be wiped. However, it will not hurt. One of the main menu buttons is "Wipe". Tap that, then tap "Factory reset". This will bring up a screen with a slider control on the bottom to confirm the factory reset. Slide that control and you have done a wipe.

Important for Minimoto: many ROMs will successfully install if you wipe after flashing the ROM zip file, but with Minimoto, you must wipe data before you flash the ROM

From the main menu, there is an "Install" button. Tap that, navigate to where you installed the Minimoto .zip file, tap that file, and confirm by sliding the control on the bottom.

Restart the phone (there is a button for that after flashing the zip), do not press menu to start Safestrap, but instead press search to start the phone normally and you will be walked through setting up Minimoto from scratch.

One more note about Safestrap: the ROM slots are stored in the internal storage area of your phone, which is what normally mounts as /sdcard on the phone. Be sure that you have enough space on internal storage for 1 GB more than the data partition size you will create. So, if you want a data partition of 2 GB, make sure that you have at least 3 GB free.

It's very helpful with Safestrap 3 to use the external SD card to store as many items as possible. You may want to change the camera to store photos there, for example.

Just get it here, from Dan Rosenberg's (the developer) web site: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/

The instructions say:

So:

- settings-> applications->development to turn on USB debugging on the phone

- "extract the entire zip file" = extra the zip file to a folder on your computer. Don't just open the zip file and try to double-click the "run.bat" file

Just wanted to post an update that I tried the radio hack method for wifi tether, and I'm unable to get Radiocomm to work on this phone with the minimoto ROM installed. Not sure if anyone had further suggestions for getting wifi tether on this thing,..
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
Are you using Safestrap? And is Minimoto in a ROM-slot or is it your main?

I have the radiocomm hack and minimoto running. Are you trying from your safe side ? If not that would be where I would start

Hi

Can any one help me in getting XT883 dialer working on this rom with recording. I love this rom but I need dialer with recording for some reasons.
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Can I root and install this rom before activating the phone with Page Plus? Will I still be able to activate after rooting and installing this rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Should be. It still has all the stock stuff as it's based on the Verizon ROM but it might have some parts stripped out.
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Thanks to doogald, doubleyourpee, and mrobvious. I've successfully installed my first rom and it's great!
[Motorola Droid 3] grayson73:
Since the custom rom is installed in SS3, does that mean that I can switch between booting to stock and this rom?

Does it also mean that I could install another rom (e.g. Jellybean) in SS1 or SS2 and switch between any of the 3 roms as I choose?

It would be cool to switch between roms for testing and maybe even have different roms for different users, kind of acting like user profiles.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Yes to your first question. Yes to your second question. Yes, it is very cool.

SS3.05 can be balky and sometimes refuses to go to recovery, instead booting the current slot normally even if you press menu. If this happens, the quickest fix is to pull battery (or just let it restart and shut down again), open the keyboard with the phone powered off, press and hold the "M" key as you press power until you see the menu. Use the VolDn to go down to BP Tools and press VolUp to select, and the phone will restart right to Safestrap Recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] crackface:
Using Safestrap 3.05. Minimoto is in a ROM slot.

Should I try switching to stock and do radiocomm hack on that? Would my custom ROM be preserved?

Any advice is appreciated!
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
I would. And yes, your ROM will not (shouldn't) be touched.

Maybe you should so it will be released already. ;) Jk

How is the battery life for you guys on 1.7? Battery life on my Droid 3 is pretty poor so I was wondering if I should buy a new battery for it. I bought the Droid 3 on ebay so I'm not sure what condition the battery is in.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
IMO battery life on droid 3 is terrible..on all ROMS I tried, both on my stock battery as on my new BF6X motorola 1930 mAh battery.

Idle time is OK.. mine will last 2 days easily if I stay at home with Wifi and don't use it much.. but when I really use it when traveling by train for example (games, 9gag, browsing, whatsapp) it can be dead within 5 hours :silly: :(

The screen and 3G use up way too much energy. Especially the screen, and it sucks too :mad:
[Motorola Droid 3] ricky12:
Hah, and they claimed that a benefit of the PenTile screen was battery life. :rolleyes:

I too, get meh battery life on this thing. Always have.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It gets me through the day without charging. If I stop the Facebook app it goes a couple days
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ye I added it to auto-end but it never seems to work. It's still runnign
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I use the brute force method of creating a widget with Titanium backup that unfreezes and then loads Facebook. When I'm done I tap the widget again and it re-freezes Facebook. Thats about the only way to keep it from running all the time. Of course this disables being able to launch Facebook from within other apps (to share a picture, etc).
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I think the paid version of Autorun Manager can.

In the build.prop, there are a couple lines for the region and language I think. It says zn and ch I think and you change it to en and us. Look at the regular build.prop to be sure.

Weird problem...when using the rom the battery shows only 9% but ln stock it is at 89%.

I thought my battery was going bad but does not seem to be the battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
FWIW, I've found that switching between slots (of any ROM) in Safestrap 3.05 has inconsistent results when reporting battery percentage in the other slot. I'd evaluate battery percentage reliability after plugging in the phone for a full charge, or at least a good 15 to 30 minutes of charge.
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
The battery status stays stuck at 9% even if it charges....

Even when i take the battery and charge it in an external charger it still shows 9% in mini moto...
[Motorola Droid 3] fxwrangler:
Minimoto has the Best battery life..Just my Opinion
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
thanks,i'll try it out.
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
Charging works now but shows different % in stock vs mini moto...

It will say 97% in stock yet 50% in minimoto.

It is not a big deal just wondering why it does that.

another thing I have been having lately is making a call from the phone list screen does not work right away.I will click the call back icon and it will take like 20 seconds to go through.Tried restarting and everything but it still happens every few calls.

I love the rom though,I can deal with these little problems.

It's a "bug" with Safestrap. I'm not sure what causes it but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I'm loving this rom but need the google talk app. I have downloaded talk.apk from other threads, used root explorer to place in data/app, and change permissions on the file.

I'm going to try to put together a flashable patch to install talk. Give me a couple of hours to test it...
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Ok, attached is a zip called MinimotoTalk.zip which will add Google Talk. Restart to recovery, flash the zip from there - do not wipe data, just flash the file - and it will add a deodexed version of the file /system/app/Talk2.apk.

I tested it on Minimoto 1.7 and it starts and logs in for me. I didn't actually try to use it past that.

MD5 is 337dd9e56e0f69d6e3414cde26de30bf, if you care about those things.

[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Minimoto 1.7 does not have an included software keyboard - you need to install one from the market. If you don't mind paying for one, SwiftKey is an excellent keyboard. This post suggests getting the free hacker's keyboard from the market.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
No virtual keyboard was included in the latest build. Check Gingerbread Keyboard in the Play Store as a potential replacement.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
+1 for SwiftKey. I love the flow feature
[Motorola Droid 3] ponna:
Sv: [ROM - Stock-based] Minimoto v1.7 XT862/XT860- Less is more.

Bare in mind that swiftkey actually works kinda bad with the hw-keyboard! Sometimes while pressing backspace it repeats the letter or the word you're trying to delete.

Also the "ctrl+[any button]" feature is broken, or menu-button + any key... Besides the hw interferance swiftkey is awesome, perhaps it's just me who's having problems?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I rarely use the hw keyboard these days, but when I do I've never had a problem with repeating letters. It's actually kinda nice as my space bar doesn't work so great, and SwiftKey will automatically separate the words on the next space bar press.

Plus the dark theme is pretty sweet
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
Havent had good luck with this rom for some reason...

Facebook doesnt load,Livestream wont work and crashes,battery seems to run out faster and data does not work half the time.

Ive got my D3 on Att and have the xt883 radio flashed,maybe thats why but stock seems to run better.Sux because the phone otherwise runs good on the rom and i dont have all tthat verizon bloatware
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I'm not sure why you have such problems. Mind posting your build.prop? Also one trick I found that might help is to download the app AutoRun Manager (I think that's the name of it) and disable all the thingys Facebook uses. For some reason that app just drains battery (50% left versus dying at like 8 PM).
[Motorola Droid 3] PassingThruLife:
Its the build prop in the droid 3 gsm page with a minor edit to fix the signal bar showing bad reception cosmetically.

Is there a better build prop to use?

Finally tried out 1.7, great job on this version. Boots up quick and feels quite stable.

Does anybody have any tips on getting overclocking to work. I have been working with a copy of the script in my data directory with no luck at all. The first step, un-commenting the modules, works fine but when I try to do anything with the clock frequencies, including un-commenting the default ones in the scrip, the phone goes right into reboot.

Phone info shows I am on 906, so I am at a loss as to where to go next. Other roms have worked to overclock this phone to 1.1. It will boot at 1.2 but quickly gets unstable.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
IIRC the modules are the wrong ones. I know it's been talked about earlier in the thread. You can try to find the oc module project on Google code. Just Google "opptimizer droid 3" i imagine it will come up

[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
I am not sure if I follow what you are saying. Isn't Minimoto a 906 based Rom? The .ko files are part of the system directory and therefore part of the rom.

Am I missing something?
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
Hes talking about your stock ROM base not the ROM you have on safe strap. If your stock ROM in safe system is 890 then you need to upgrade it or flash the optimize package to get over clock.

I imagine it's not the roms system version but rather some other part of the firmware that's changed as part of the 906 update package
