[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well the OP says there's a new fresh build dec 13 that has HW codecs?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Oh I didn't see that. Sorry I'm real tired. Sylent will have to answer that.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
So what's this swap method you speak of?
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
it says they're enabled in the post, right?

i talked to hash and he said they're enabled.

so, logic would follow that, you should download it and try it out maybe?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Lol.

I was just wondering whether it still uses 80mb like before or that it's reduced now
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
i just streamed something over my network (samba with es file explorer and mx player) and looking at a memory manager, i would say not 80 meg, but its a fairly sizeable amount. the player itself is somewhere in the 20s, and memory usage dropped drastically beyond that (maybe another 30 mb) when i exited.

this is totally a free time hobby for me, so no offense everyone but i'm not here to test everything for you and report back. check it out yourself, and let the community know what you find. participate. that's what xda is about. if there's a problem, make a detailed post about how i can replicate it and maaaaaybe i'll be able to figure it out in the literally thousands of lines of code.

enjoy the builds everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Thanks anyway. I was just thinking you might know if it was the old ducati or a newer version that Hash got from TI?

But RAM shouldn't be an issue anyway. Just install the app Swapper2 from the Play Store and add some swap. It should help along with a strict/aggressive memory management.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So basically you get a page file on your SD card? I didn't even know that was possible on android :laugh:
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Btw magnet sensor also fixed now apparently:

[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Possible it is, as long as you are using "Linux" On Partitioning session of ROM Manager for example, you have the option to partition your SD Card. So you can create a swap partition, like on Linux.

The main problem that some of the guys from the HTC Wildfire mentioned about is that it can somehow damage the SDCard due to the excessive I/O... Not sure if it is for real, though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
What location are you using for your swap file? Mine keeps failing when I try to turn it on because it can't find the location or it doesn't exist or some such non-sense

EDIT: nevermind, found the full symbolic link in the terminal emulator... /storage/sdcard1/x I'm gonna try using the ext as swap space
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Installed the 13-12 CM10 build, but no HW decoding in any of my MKVs (X264) or AVI (XVID)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
/sdcard/swapfile.swp is my location. Also yes it probably will wear your SD card out.
[Motorola Droid 3] shane1:
chrome has been crashing on the 12/12 build and alot of pauses when opening most apps
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Successfully running KEXEC-cm-10-20121213-UNOFFICIAL-solana with google apps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip). (Thanks to all involved!!!)

Now here's something I've run into with the kexec builds and the gapps packages... notice I'm using October's gapps build. I first tried with the 1130 build but it did the same thing as the older kexec builds and crashed all over the place (keyboard crashes, phone crashes, gapps crash). The 1011 build works perfect though. So far no crashes, phone works, sensors work, battery seems very good too.

What's the deal with this? Anybody else running into these problems with the 1130 gapps build? I just saw that a gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip version is available now too. At this point, everything works for me so I'm not going to mess with gapps more, but just throwing it out there to try the 1011 version if you're getting crashes in fresh kexec installs with the newer gapps builds.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

Did you let everything finish syncing? I'm running the same build (see my post above) and everything including Chrome is working nicely for me.

In fact... with this recent build, I broke 3000 in quadrant for the first time (3007) where I would typically get 2900ish, so as far as I'm concerned, this is a GOOD build. What version of gapps are you using if any?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
If you click on the 1130 GAPPS, you will find:

!!Not compatible with 4.1.x.!!
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Theyre for 4.2 and up I presume?

I just did notice one problem actually with CM10, and I think I had this on the last build. I can't download to my internal storage for some reason. Known bug? I'll do some searching...
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yes they are for 4.2. Use 20121011 instead.

I haven't noticed the internal storage problem, but it seems you are right.

At least when I try to export from dropbox both internal storage and SD card show the files on my SD card
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Looks as if the system can't write to storage. CM10's screenshot utility also posts an error about failure to write. I'm guessing something is mapped/mounted incorrectly...

Looks like by default, it's trying to save to /storage/sdcard1/download when it should be sdcard0.

Does this have anything to do with this (mentioned by Hashcode in his original post for the project): "ATTENTION: [ROM CHANGE]

As of today, any new builds will have the SD card priority reversed. So default storage is now external SD card.

This is due to the upcoming beta release of Safestrap v3 where you will want as much internal emmc space free as possible (More ROMS!)."

I'm going to find a spare microSD and try and see if it makes a difference.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Adding a microSD didn't help... but I did find something that might be a hint...

In the file manager, with root access, if you navigate to /mnt/, the sdcard symlink is missing. I opened up terminal emulator, went to the same directory and saw that they are in fact there... sdcard and sdcard-ext, and that sdcard does in fact point to the correct location (/storage/sdcard0/)... permissions and everything when viewing through the terminal look correct. Why does the file manager not see the symlinks in /mnt though? I think this may have something to do with the problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] nu2droid:
How can you increase battery life? Any tweeks or tunes? My battery is going down fast even at a stand still. I.e. went 15-20% in the 10 minutes of reading this forum..
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
nothing much was changed on my end of things in between the Dec 10 and the Dec 13 build (I can't speak on Hash's behalf besides what he said about disabling the buggy interactive gov and enabling hw codecs)

i speculate that the random unexplained issues (ie mounting) _might_ be a repo sync issue. i've found that if i am doing a repo sync at the same moment someone is doing a commit to the branch i'm pulling from, occasionally errors can arise. it's super weird, happens rarely out of the blue.

i'm starting a fresh build right now, i'll let you guys know when it's up on mediafire.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Any word on the HDcodecs not working?

I'm also curious why CPU decoding is way slower than in GB. I can watch a 720 MKV just fine in GB but in JB it's low FPS
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
probably something to do with issues to work out on the kexec side of things. its a pretty different approach.

as far as HD codecs go, i'm not entirely sure what to tell you. i think they work for me? which is to say, i use MX player, and H/W video decoding works, but i have to use audio sw decoding (no hw audio). But this is with my very limited tests of a couple 720 videos i have streamed over my wireless network via a samba share. one was an mkv, the other an avi.

hash said he enabled them, so *shrug*. i've been at a friend's wedding so no time to really test much. we'll see what happens with the build that's going as we speak.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Your effort and time is always appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yeh, I also use MX player. I just tried the MKVs in GB and they have HW acceleration, but in JB 13dec it says "cannot play using HW decoding".

I did install right over the old CM10 again..

Will try your new build later - on a new rom slot

Oh - does the new one also include the magnet sensor fix?
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
I'm going to try the 1215 build when I get home and see if the sdcard issues are fixed. Thanks for the update!
[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
Tring to build a JB version of AOKP and I have followed the instructions from

https://soupdawg.wordpress.com/2012...-for-building-android-jellybean-all-variants/

in a VM to atleast get a build environment but the only last step that I am not sure is, what target do I build with brunch for Droid 3?

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch <target>

I couldn't find a Droid3 or Solana target when trying to list the options with the breakfast command.
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_local_STS/tree/jb-aokp-kexec

Check out the directions there for using the local manifest. Since the solana isn't an "official" AOKP device, we have so import Hash's (et al) work from github.

PM me if you need some help. i'm not sure if the AOKP repo will build right out of the box for the d3, but i can tell you what changes i had to make etc. good job on taking the dive to compile! its a really interesting to learn how android actually works.
[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
Having a weird issue with the battery status. I can having it charging and whenever I reboot the phone, the battery goes down %10-20% after it comes up. One of the worst time was when having 72% battery and I rebooted the phone and it went down to 36% when the phone booted back up.
[Motorola Droid 3] lotzakritters:
That same thing happens to me too. Bugs the heck out of me. Anyone have a fix for that.
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
from what i understand the battery leaks are another kexec holdover.

we have it on the list of things to look at. hopefully with the recent sensor developments we might have insight
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Just wanted to say that the hardware codecs are working beautifully without slowing down the device! This is awesome! Thanks for the CM 10 build!
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Tried the 1215 version today and it looks like downloads still don't work. It complains that there is no sdcard still.
[Motorola Droid 3] windraver:
Does hdmi out work on this build?
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
That's weird...I'm able to download to SD using Chrome. I have been for the past couple builds, that I am aware of.

But I am unable to use the HW codecs. I just get a black screen and audio. I did install over a previous build, though. I was considering doing a fresh install, but I'm just not sure if it's worth the effort at this time :P
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
To an actual microsd card or to the onboard storage? I have no sd-card inserted and can't get any app to save to the system. Can't even save an image from a webpage.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I believe that on these builds /mnt/sdcard is the physical SD card, not onboard storage, in order to preserve as much space as possible for ROM slots in Safestrap 3. (Somebody correct me if I am wrong...)
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Yes, to an actual external SD card.

I believe you are correct, a few releases ago (I think with the release of SS3) Hash said that the SD card priority would be swapped, so that the external SD is default storage, to preserve storage for more ROM slots with the new Safestrap and quick swapping of ROMs. I am unaware of a way to swap this somewhere, but it would be good to know if there was a setting somewhere that could be easily edited to change this. Seems either unlikely or some obscure linux command ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
I tried tinkering last week with the symlinks on the system but to no avail. If this is indeed the case, I'd really appreciate a way to swap the SD card order back. I only plan on running 1, maybe 2 slots max on safestrap anyways.
[Motorola Droid 3] noctuary:
Got the phone up and working on CM 10.1 on a fresh rom slot. Turned on Bluetooth (should I have not done this?) and a few minutes later dialed voicemail. No sound from the phone. Rebooted, and it works fine again. I remember back to the first ICS ports for Droid 3 having this same issue. I appreciate all the work done on the roms, I am just left wondering if the sound bug will ever be fixed which is again making me revert to GB.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
As a thought, try poking around the init.d scripts to see if the remount/swap of the sdcards is in there
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Checked and there's nothing there noteworthy.
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
to anyone experiencing issues

hi everyone

for anyone experiencing ANY kind of issue, whether it be "non working" parts or a service outage or whatever.

MAKE SURE YOU WIPE DATA/CACHE AND SYSTEM AND INSTALL THIS ROM TO A FRESH ROM SLOT. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

i wouldn't release something that would seriously impede the functionality of the phone. i have tested the builds myself on my ONLY daily device, so what good would it do me to release something that's broken? other than the camera of course. that being said, this is extremely ALPHA testing, as noted by Hashcode and myself, so very high level changes can occur from build to build. just flashing back over your old one isn't good enough.

i'll say it for probably the third time now (and backed up by another user hilokilo, thanks!) the HW codecs seem to work fine. i'm not saying they cover EVERY format, but it works for what it's supposed to as far as I can test.

my service and data work fine also. no weird airplane mode issues.

sorry people, i'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything. it just isn't very helpful having someone say something is broken with absolutely no evidence and without fully testing out all of the possibilities themselves, or providing the community with step-by-step explanations of how to reproduce the issue so that maybe we can help fix it.

i understand there is the issue with downloading w/o an SD card. that is something you would have to ask Hashcode about, as I believe it is an extremely low-level hardware code change and I don't know if something as easy as symlinks would fix it. if i were a person experiencing this issue, i would dig a 2 gb micro sd out of the latest cereal box giveaway and throw it in there as an intermediary, then transfer the stuff to my internal storage if it really mattered so much where the data physically exists on the device.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Oh 씨발... I didn't do any of the mentioned steps above lol...
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
Here is a thread about the airplane mode switching on and off, could be the issue.

[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Observation with the battery life:

It was reporting that I had only 3% left (inside CM10). I powered it off to charge because I was going to do some experimenting with my other rom slot, and I noticed that the firmware-based charging indicator (when the phone is powered off) stated that my battery was actually at 70%. THEN, inside safestrap, the battery was reported to be at 28%...

Is it possible that the kernel is obtaining false battery levels somehow? Something is definitely weird because it charges back up to 100 WAY too fast inside CM10.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yes I had this bug since the beginning. Hash said it was a SS3.05 bug.

But haven't heard from him since
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
What happens when the battery gets to 0% inside CM10 then? Will it just stay at 0% for several hours or will the phone power down?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
For me the battery stays at 1% for some time then powers down.

Or, when the battery indicates 90% when it's actually 40%, it will suddenly drop to lower value like 10% (which is then correct)
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Good to know. Thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Hello to everyone. I have been a Droid 3 (XT862) user for a while, but I am just now trying out CM10 on the device. It's awesome!

First and foremost, thank you to all who contributed to the development of this ROM and not abandoning us like Motorola has.

I wanted to make developers, or anyone who can help, aware of a bug. I noticed on the ROM that if you have Bluetooth enabled, you cannot hear the audio in phone calls, nor can the other end hear you. Any ideas on a fix?

My apologies if this issue has been brought to light before.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Yes it's a known issue. Bluetooth causes audio issues if on but not connected with
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
Wow, didn't know that this bug survived in the kexec renewal...
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
This is totally irrelevant to the topic, but I just wanted to say: Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
There's something wrong with the CM10 that I flashed... it is INCREDIBLY laggy. Even CM10 running on my old Epic 4G was much more responsive. Just to check a few stuff when you install the ROM via safestrap... you wipe cache, dalvik and system and then install ZIP right? Is there anything else that I should have done?

I also created a ROM partition on my internal memory which is where I installed CM10. Would installing the ROM on internal memory as opposed to the default stock ROM location cause a significant slowdown? Is GPU acceleration enabled by default or do I need to tweak settings? Are the drivers that support Project Butter working properly?

To clarify, by "laggy" I am not referring to video playback. It's simple stuff like clicking the menu button takes a second longer to respond (compared to my Epic 4G, i.e. single-core A8 SoC). The apps menu animation is also much slower than on the Epic 4G, and on the whole the device feels not very responsive.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Rom Toolbox > Processor > Memory management > Assets > Strict mode helps. Also, disable Hardware Overlays under developer settings.
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
Tried that, and the lag is still persistent. Is there any performance degradation if we install the ROM onto a partitioned "ROM slot" in internal memory?

I ran my Vellamo benchmarks and I got 1400+ for the HTML5 score, putting it slightly higher than Stock Galaxy Nexus, which has a similar SoC, albeit slightly faster clock speeds. The CPU benchmark I got 400+, which also puts it higher than Stock Galaxy Nexus, but the performance numbers are not translating into user experience. Is anyone have the same problem as I am? Laggy/unresponsive for day-to-day use?

For some reason, "disable hardware overlays" developer settings gets unchecked whenever I reboot. Is this normal?

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

On a separate note, remapping of hardware buttons does not seem to work. I can't change my Search key to open up the recent app task manager.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
I was wondering what people on this ROM do to extend battery life. I love this ROM, but the battery consumption is just terrible!

I also, noticed that this ROM/kernel doesn't have a deep sleep status in it. It simply idles. Thoughts? Ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Still waiting on updates from Hash.........
[Motorola Droid 3] keithk23:
I have not tried the tweaks, but I have had that issue with all JB ROMs I have tried. After running it for 5 minutes, I can't stand it and go back to stock. I'd love to get a solution for that issue since I can live without a camera.
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Tip for performance: turn off ondemand mode in the cpu performance settings. I switched it to performance, which locks it at 1.2ghz and it runs extremely smooth. On top of that... I don't think it makes the battery life any worse. Try that and see if it's better.
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Hash seems to have been busy on all the other devices he supports for some time now. Anyone else feel forgotten?
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
Most people who bought the Droid 3 will be up for a new phone in the next 3 months, so maybe the motivation just isn't there. I'm eligible for an upgrade in March and am eyeing the Note 2. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Me too in march. Still some custom love would be cool till then. Im going with the s3 most likely or wait for the s4 if its still set for april.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yep. I'm "stuck" with the D3 until this time next year.. I just wish hashcode would finish ONE of his roms for D3.

I don't think anyone here expects him to update the D3 to JB 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 etc. but please just get one rom (like JB 4.1) fully working for D3 so we can be happy and he can just drop the D3 :p.

First there was CM7, which wasn't finished because ICS came around,

So then there was ICS non-kexec. Which wasn't finished because no HWcodecs and another kernel was needed,

Then there was ICS-kexec. Which wasn't finished mainly because of no camera, and then JB came along,

So then there was JB-kexec. Which isn't finished mainly because of no camera,

And now there's JB 4.2...

I think Hash should be clear if he thinks a fully (99%) working JB rom for D3 won't come (for whatever reason) so we aren't waiting for something that will never come. (it's been half a year since kexec arrived)

And yes, I know hash doesn't owe us or anything, and he's doing it for free. But I will give him money if he finishes JB for D3.

But perhaps this shouldn't be in sylentprofet's topic.

Just my 2cent ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
He was pretty clear in his blog posts several months back that a fully working 4.x rom probably won't happen (at least that's how I interpreted it). He said there was 'hope' and that the new kernel developments were 'encouraging'. http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/2012/07/21/how-to-eat-a-hat-and-what-is-kexec/

To make things worse, I think the timing of the D4's release was a major nail in the D3's coffin. The D4 is STILL a current model at VZW.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
I'm really not waiting around for a ics/jb rom anymore. I like a few posts said I get a new phone in 3 months. If anything does come around sure ill give it a whirl but im not holding my breath. Until I get my new phone I'm just gonna rock minimoto. Sold rom right there. It does what a rom should do. Improve my phone from what it is stock. If I wanted the latest and greatest I would have gotten the nexus. I still love this phone. Had it since day one without a case and not a scratch or dent is on it. And I got it for the great keyboard. Just my thoughts on it and I'm sorry if you're still waiting around for jb.
[Motorola Droid 3] DRELUXOID:
I'll probably be using minimoto until March as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Honestly, I'll be fine with full working CM 7. Like, really.
[Motorola Droid 3] murso74:
abso****inlutely
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
I think that maybe the kexec thing is not that important. Maybe if we have a decent ICS with the stock kernel would do the trick. I'm running Gummy 0.90, it is pretty nice, except for the video and the HDMI that doesn't work. The battery is not that bad either.

As I said, maybe if we have a non kexec fully functional ICS, I would be satisfied with that. I'm not criticizing anyone for their jobs or for the lack of it. Maybe Hash has a lot of more interesting things to do for other devices, and this phone is too complicated to get stuff working on JB. Or maybe it won't even worth the trouble.

I would like to help with the development, but I'm no developer. Maybe I'm just like Mc Gyver guy. Just another ordinary android enthusiast with root access to their phones and some knowledge.

I don't have plans, at least for now to leave my Milestone 3/Droid 3. I like this phone.

Sorry about the rant over here. Great new year to you all. :)

Edit:

I forgot to mention profet for the effort to give us the JB. Thanks!
