[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Nice post! And I agree. Like I said, I do want to donate because I don't expect a dev to spend days of his time for nothing.

But on the other hand, personally, I'd rather not donate $20 (or w/e) without being sure what the result will be. I can already see myself PMing and twittering hashcode "Hey man, I donated, please work on D3".. I don't want that. I'd rather donate at the end.

Because in the end, if a build doesn't get finished, all the work put into it it kinda wasted, at least if it weren't for those who actually "like" to flash and try out new builds (nobody can really use CM7 or ICS).

I used CM10 for a month, but I end up going back to GB because I need my camera, and JB gets really slow with mediocre battery after some weeks, especially compared to minimoto.

You mention the fact how much better it is than if it were stock. This is true, but except for the fact that I now use minimoto now instead of mavrom with bootstrap one year ago, nothing much has really changed.

Also, I don't know many android phones that don't benefit from root and custom ROMs.

In fact, I see people with 2.5 year old(!!) samsung galaxy S running JB buttery smooth and 100% working :crying:
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Sorry about getting on this subject again.

Nice post, and I think you are right.

I'll donate to them, because it is fair, and they deserve it.. As I said, maybe (at least for me) I'll be happy with a fully functional ICS. The main thing for me to not use this ROM is that I really need to use the camera. I'm taking tons of pictures of my newborn daughter, so unfortunately, for now, I really need it.

I respect a lot your work, Hash's work and dhacker29's work. I wish that I can personally help with some effort if needed. As I said before, I'm no developer, but I want to learn. If you need an extra CPU for testing and compiling stuff, you can count on me.

Great holidays everyone.
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
I understand completely where you are coming from, but let me pose this counter point, because it's what I think every time I hear someone say "I'll donate when X conditions are met..." This isn't anything personal, I've just been developing for a couple of years and I see it all the time, so I thought I'd enlighten everyone with one person's 'dev perspective'.

1) Of all the people that say this, even if X condition is met, I would argue that the majority (not all) still don't donate. It's human nature, not to say that anyone necessarily intends to go back on their word, they just simply forget, or life sweeps them up, or they don't have it in their account just that moment, or whatever. I know it's probably impossible to get a solid number on this, but I would bet the percentage of donators before and after "X" is pretty much the same.

2) Besides the above point, let me flip the script. Suppose Hashcode were to come out tomorrow and say "Hey everyone! Guess what I got! A working camera for the D3, and I'm the only person in the world. If you want access to this build though, you need to pay me a few dollars. It doesn't matter how much you've donated up to this point, I still need another $10 from every user who wants a camera." Obviously, this would cause an uproar. I don't even think I need to point out all the ways in which this is wrong.

Which is essentially what people are doing when they say "I'll donate when X...." It's kind of a ransom. As if all the work up to that point wasn't good enough, but hey, if you do an extra little dance for me, well shoot I might just pony up.

Also, I never said in my post to donate as individuals. I just related my personal story. Clearly, a lot of people (myself included) would reaaaaaally appreciate a working camera (among other things, *cough* battery *cough*). I was suggesting we should start sort of a "bounty" incentive, because yes, I agree that it would be awkward for a bunch of randoms to hit Hashcode up. Maybe have one emissary approach him and see if he's even interested in such a thing, or if he's even capable. From what I understand, some of these issues may be beyond his power, unless we can get him to flex his muscles with his contacts inside Motorola and TI HQ.

Sooooo, I dunno what to tell everyone. Sell your D3 on craigslist and buy an international Samsung?

Oh yes, as of this morning on Twitter, @Hashcode new version of Safestrap 3.11 coming to D3.

Anyone still feeling forgotten?
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
Never. Droid 3 remains shining ;).
[Motorola Droid 3] CAPS_ON:
Wait, so no holographic ANYTHING now?? JK ;)

Seriously, we all appreciate the work you've done. I'm sure I speak for "most" of the people in here.

*clicking the thank you button*
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Not feeling forgotten here. At least, not me.

As in your example, If Hash told me that he has a fix for the Camera, I'll buy it. I think that the effort need to be paid somehow.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
I agree. How else can we make it worthwhile?

Oh and happy new year :)
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
Right, but what I'm saying is he hasn't charged up to this point for any of his work, and he won't arbitrarily start. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he's forbidden to charge a fee for a lot of this work under the GPL open source license. Sure, if he were selling an app on the market, but that doesn't apply to ROMs.

Either way, I think I've made my point. Anyone interested in chipping in on a "bounty" for a working camera, PM me. If there's enough interest, since Hash has already talked to me, I'll pitch him on it and see if it's even feasible.

I _WILL_NOT_ actually collect any donations, I'm just trying to gauge if something like this might be worth it to him.

I'll start by signing myself up for $5. It might not sound like much, but it's the best I can do right now.
[Motorola Droid 3] palmwangja:
good idea, is there any services we all can rely upon to chip in on the bounty? just like others do using kickstarter or something??
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
i'm thinking i can gauge interest just to keep it simple, then rely on trusting everyone that said they'd contribute to follow through on their word and paypal directly to him, regardless of the outcome. Hashcode is an honest dude, he'll let us know if its possible or if he just doesn't have the time.

I don't even think he has a Droid 3 to dev on anymore, but all the work he's doing on other phones is trickling down to us. More thoroughly tested ^^
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
He has a Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] DowneyJM:
#FOSS imagine if information was free for er'yone to learn from, to use, to improve with no strings attached. I have a ton of respect for all the work people do to make android what it is and to keep it what it is. If someone is developing stuff like this and working 12 hours a day and not making anything from it then that ain't my fault. I'm sorry but I'm a broke mofo who can hardly keep my cell phone turned on as it is. Once again don't get me wrong If I had as much $ as respect id donate all of it
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
How much does that premium app of yours cost again?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
The new entropy seeder making the rounds in the news seems to be helping ROM performance. It's available through the market as "Seeder". Curious how it responds with memory tweaks, etc...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Is there a free version?

And someone already tested the Seeder thing ?
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I ran it yesterday on a fresh AOKP install. It seemed to help but also eat battery so I flipped back to my daily driver MiniMoto slot to try it again in a more familiar environment. So far battery is normal and the system does seem more responsive but I have no real way to prove it other than by "feel".
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Hi guys,

Regarding a collection of donations for devving: I would *NEVER* under any circumstances donate to a dev "in advance".

I know you're anxious to see more and do more with your phones, but the idea of a dev taking money up-front for work that might or might no pan out is bad all around. It's much better to donate to a particular dev when there's something that has been done which you appreciate.

However, I *AM* still working on 4.2 for the Droid 3. If you're the type who likes to watch progress you can see the development here:

https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_solana/commits/jb-mr1

This build compiles using our 4.2 local_manifest, but has a TON of troubleshooting / debugging to do.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
I am running AOKP in tandem with the Seeder app. And, while AOKP was already lightning fast, I am seeing faster speeds yet. Same results on another device of mine.
[Motorola Droid 3] shane1:
Seems to work good on cm10. I just noticed that I had to disable seeder In order to switch themes though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Hiya Hashcode. I just wanted to say thanks here for all your work on the Droid 3. I just picked up 2 of these phones and am finding that you have done more work on them then Motorola ever did.

Thanks so much for Safestrap. It is an absolute flashers dream. Seriously from where I am coming from this is a whole new world of freedom! I can keep stock, run stable MiniMoto, and screw around with all the newest ICS/JB builds all at once. This makes my life SO easy and I can't thank you enough. Seriously.

P.S. Love the sentiment above. You've got the right attitude! $10 Donation Sent. (Lets call it a bargain basement SafeStrap blowout sale!)

P.P.S. Hate these suck-up posts, so sorry everyone but it is rare when one dev seems to be the single handed champion for so many devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Just curious (and with all due respect), but wouldn't it be "time better spent" to improve JB 4.1.2 for D3 rather than having up-to-date alpha builds?

:o

..since you mentioned 4.2 has a TON of debugging left.

Or is there another benefit from going to 4.2?
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
Curious, what would you have me improve?

Also, this very thread sort of hints that someone else is also working on 4.1 :P
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Camera :angel: !

Slow USB transfer (at least 2x slower than GB)

Bluetooth issues

I think GPS in google navigation didn't work

General performance/stability

Or the battery indication problem with safestrap/JB kernel

;)
[Motorola Droid 3] male6363@hotmail.com:
I know this is wrong thread... But i dont know where to ask this question?

Is there anybody know this? Or is there anybody know where to ask this question?

in .zip file (for CWM) there is an updater-script file...

I want to delete some files but i dont want to write the exact names of the files... Is there any way to delete some thing like x*.* or t*.apk or talk*.* etc...

for example if i want to delete all the files which starts with "a" letter... How can i do this?

I know

delete("...");

delete_recursive("...");

commands... But i couldn't find out if there is any way to do this?

Thank you for your answers...

Just installed CM 10.1 and I found 2 issues.

1 - Keyboard blackled light isn't working when pressing on the keyboard.

1 - No Build.prop for XT883 firmware on CM 10.1. I just tried the JB buildprop for CM 10.1 and it kept the phone in a loading state so that didn't work. Does anyone have an updated build.prop zip file for CM 10.1?
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
I haven't seen a thread like this but its really annoying. When I plug my phone into certain speakers and the data arrows come on, a loud squealing noise come from the speakers. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?
[HTC Droid DNA] Argumentation:
It's feedback from the 4G radios interfering with the amp I believe. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Is there any way to fix it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Airplane mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Aside from that? Due to this phones limited onboard storage I frequently stream music from my Google Play account. And its kinda hard to do that in airplane mode lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
try connecting to wifi if you can. It is interfering with the speaker.

I know my gaming headset crackels whenever I get a text message without it being connected to the headset, it is just interfering with the speakers
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Hmmm makes sense. Is there any way to disable the amp if that's what's getting interference?
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
not aware of any way but i dont seem have the same problem either though and i strewam from slacker and stock tune in all through my headphones and car you could have to cheap of head phones try skull candy or koss there pretty reliable for the 20 dollar price tag
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Its actually not headphones. I use the beats that came with my Rezound. Its only with speakers it seems like
[HTC Droid DNA] paulguy:
Sounds like it only seems to happen on low impedance speakers/inputs. You might just need to stick with headphones or use some kind of external pre-amp. This is somewhat disappointing news, although I don't listen to music from my phone much.
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Noticed crackling and static when on 4G streams of Pandora. Happens with headphones or hooked up to a mixer and speakers (higher impedance). Doesn't happen with the WiFi enabled for streaming, so I'm going to say Argumentation's explanation seems spot on... Just thinking out loud here, but would there be a way to slow down to 3G speeds for streaming? Sounds counter-intuitive as far as speed is concerned, but if it's the 4G that's causing interference, then maybe that will take care of it?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Download the ftf for your phone here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24610138

Download and install flashtool

Open flashtool

Enable USB debugging on your phone

Plug in your phone

Drag the ftf to flashtool window

Turn off phone, hold back key, plug in again

Wait and done.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
tnx!

but,in both of the time when I plug in my phone, I need to do something except what you said? (ex, in the second time, to press something in the flashtool)

and, I have something that blockes the official site of flashtool.. can u give me a download for it not from this site?

oh,and, at the site you brought me I need the .42 stock right? and what does it matter if it generic UK or Hong Kong, etc..?

Hey buddy the Flashtool is bugfree is never wrong. If it asks for you to install the drivers DO IT and I dont believe if you installed them correctly. In order to install the drivers correctly go into your flashtool in your C drive and find a folder called Drivers. There is a .exe and you must accept all the permissions.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
right, well, I did it, tell me if it right to choose:

1. Sony Ericsson Experia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia arco IS11S, Xperia arco SO-02C drivers

2. Flashmode drivers

3. Fastboot drivers

am I missing something that I need?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
tnx, but what is it? and can u give me download?

and, jeff7424, will it return my phone to the original rom?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Yes that .58 ftf is a complete stock original ROM.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Flashing a FTF file will always return your phone to stock, but not necessarily to your original stock. Because Xperia PLAY has only 4 versions (R800a for america market, R800at for AT&T customers... in america I think, R800x for CDMA carriers, mostly Verizon and his partners around the world; and R800i for european market) the options got reduced to a FTF file that has the same radio band your phone originally had, so it will work with your carrier. So, if your phone was an R800i band .42 you should try flashing a FTF for R800i radio band .42.

By the way, last night I found how to flash a system to a Xperia PLAY without flashtool. Once you download the FTF file, open it with WinRar. inside you will find a bunch a *.sin files. Extract System.sin and with fastboot you could do

fastboot flash system system.sin

If you change your kernel you must extract kernel.sin too and do

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

Remember that you must reboot your PLAY into fastboot mode.

As I said before, I won't recommend going back to stock unless you really need to. Try first Dixperia 2.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
well, I`ll try the Dixperia.

but I didnt got those lines:

how do I know what is the correct kernel? and why do I need the doomkernel? is it the correct one?

what is "clean your Dalvik", "fix battery"?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Correct kernel means that you must flash a custom kernel that is designed for stock based phones, I mean, for a Xperia PLAY that does NOT have a custom kernel but stock one. If you haven't flash any kernel yet then you could install DoomKernel v14 or Lupus v5, even Stock Mini DoomKernel, but for better results flahs DoomKernel v14. Usually, a ROM maker chooses and recommend a particular kernel, so when changing ROMs flash the recommended kernel, in this case DoomKernel v14.

Clean your Dalvik and fix battery are two options in CWM Recovery. After you flash DoomKernel you could enter recovery mode, inside are these two options. I don't know if what I'm about to tell you is right, but to be sure, before you fix your battery wait for it to be 100% charged and connected to a wall charger, without disconecting your PLAY, fix your battery level with opcion in recovery menu.

If you have doubs, ask first.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
dude, you`re the best. but, if I DID flash custom kernel (tell me, .62 is a custom kernel?) what do I need to do?

and, wait, what I need to do is:

1. download ROM and put it in sdcard

2. download and flash DoomKernel

3. get into CWM (recovery mode) and make Full Wipe and Wipe Cache, then clean your Dalvik, fix Battery and Fix Permissions

4. choose the .zip file in sdcard (in recovery mode) and install it

5. reboot and done

yea? and if so:

1. how do I get into recovery? (I forgot..)

2. in the DoomKernel, why do I need the WiFi modules?

thanks again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Straight answers to straight questions:

Normaly a .42, .58, .62, .64 are upgrades to firmware, most of them related to radio bands (afaik). The best way to tell you if .62 is a custom kernel or not it's calling your memory. Did you remember the number of your original kernel?. In any case, once you unlock your bootloader you can do whatever you want to do with your PLAY, like flashing a kernel or another; in other words, it doesn't really matter if you have a custom kernel right now because you are going to flash DoomKernel v14 or Lupus v5.

You understood quite well the process to install Dixperia 2.

To get into recovery (at least in DoomKernel v14) is, after you reboot your PLAY (and of course, after you flash DoomKernel v14) you'll notice that your PLAY now vibrates after DoomKernel logo nad turns on a blue led, right then press L button. That way you enter official CWM Recovery 5 (is faster and more responsive than DoomLord fully touch version [so sorry DoomLord but yours it's slow...]).

Now carefull with what I'm about to tell you,

after

you flash DoomKernel v14 but

before

you install DX2 ROM try WiFi. If you got an error while trying to turn on WiFi, then you need to install WiFi modules from inside CWM, selecting the zip file. It's safer and easiest try it first with your stock rom before installing Dixperia 2. Some Xperia PLAY don't need to install this modules and some need it... I don't quite understand why, so I can't say more.

BTW, if you are planning to use your PLAY to, er... play games, then I really advice you that install only GMail + GTalk (if you need them/use them), Google Stuff, SE/Xperia Stuff, and New Xperia Play Game Launcher. The rest are memory consuming.
