[Motorola Droid 3] ScienceFactor:
hello,

i just installed the last version of this rom, and it is much better than the original. i have one issue though, because my phone is only displaying one signal bar - while using the original rom the bars are full. i have an unlocked xt862. i already checked the use only 2g networks and also set the Network mode to GSM only.

has anyone else the same behavior?

regards

Info about screen color saturation.

Hi, I installed whis ROM and I noticed that colors look really better (more saturated) on your ROM than on stock Gingerbread.

How did you manage to increase the saturation? Is it possible to do the same thing on a rooted stock ROM?

Thanks!

I have a question, is it possible to use this ROM on Motorolla Milestone 3(XT860)?

My brother has one with the original android 2.3.4, and it's not good...

I noticed that they are very similar in 90% of it's specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4349&idPhone2=4036

So... is it compatible?

[Motorola Droid 3] jam0688:
i got the rom to boot in ss slot 1 as well but anyone know how to get service for cdma? because there is no service what so ever and i have no problems what so ever with any of the gingerbread roms on cdma? is there something specific that needs to be done? or like any files or numbers i need to change? i also have a droid incredible 2 and to get a gsm rom to work on cdma all i had to do was change up a few numbers and files? but the framework is different and my droid incredible 2 is s-off so i can tweak it more than that of the droid 3 with the locked bootloader. any help would be appreciated.

[Motorola Droid 3] joefuf:
Sorry man. I did look around for you a bit, but I don't have any copies left. I did Google around the name of the zip (avatar-2.5b-439-20130330-solana_ota_signed.zip). Maybe you'll have better luck looking. You could try variations of the file name with appropriate dates for nightlys or pushes.

I would try the Steeldroid ICS ROM. That thing worked as my daily driver for a long time.
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
Appreciate the thoroughness and reply -- I did the same (exhaustive Google). I just went with JB 4.2.2 from Cyanogenmod instead.

I'm just poking around with the DROID 3 again for nostalgia. My daily device is my Galaxy Note 3 still, but I had done plenty of dev for the DROID 3 in its day and decided to play with it today. :)

Ah good deal man. I was feeling some empathy for you after going through an exhaustive search and stuff myself over the last two days.

Yeah, it was good phone. With the amount that we depend on them, I'm surprised it lasted me about two years. Still got it tucked away for nostalgia along with my OG Droid.

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Motorola Droid 4 (maserati) - Updated [Mar 26,20

Does this ROM have the same bugs that cm10.1 is facing? Like, the rotate bug and speakerphone bug, amongst others
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I've never heard of this ROM but the concept sound great! MIUI has some really fun themes. Really looking forward to trying this out. :D
[Motorola Droid 4] huatz84:
Reminds me of my old Defy with MIUI. Will try it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing it here. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Auronis1:
Thank you for this, looks great!

Can we use with SafeStrap? Which version/ROM slot?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Just installed this. So far everything seems to be working great! Working on restoring my apps now. Will test bluetooth when I leave work today. Fantastic work on this. Love having the look and theme capabilities of MIUI without sacrificing the functionality of CM that I love so much. Can wait to start playing with the themes!

Edit: Really liking this RedFlower theme.
[Motorola Droid 4] panamakevin:
I can't wait to get this installed and play around with it... The themeing option sounds great... I'll let you know my findings once I've gotten it up and tested over the next 24hrs... Thanks again!

[Motorola Droid 4] beflythis:
am installing now... will update on the native GSM status.

Bigups to the avatar team for rolling through with this!

edit: after using the "fixedforliquid.zip" GSM patch, i'm STILL getting phone crashes after calls. :( where's the GSM love?

edit 2: just to be 100% clear, should I be flashing the recently-released JB firmware using the droid tool before using JB roms, or do the installs come pre-packaged with all the required system files to run this successfully?
[Motorola Droid 4] panamakevin:
You just need to flash your ROM and correct GAPPS which you can find in the original OP. I use safestrap and just flash ROM then GAPPS then wipe cache and reboot...

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

I've been running this ROM for almost 24 hours now and its pretty slick... I did notice a few things which seem to be pulled from some of the CM 10.1 issues, such as :

screen rotation not working

dock not working

Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else... The bluetooth had no trouble switching on and off and didn't seem to mess with my calls, my camera worked but I didn't get enough time to really play with the camera...

Thanks again Avatar, the MIUI feature is a fun little quirk... do they not come with custom sounds? Ringtones and notifications, cause that would be even more killer (just a suggestion)

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Motorola Droid 4 (maserati) - Updated [Mar 26,20

[Motorola Droid 4] huatz84:
Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Motorola Droid 4 (maserati) - Updated [Mar 26,20

It's based on CM10.1 so it needs to be flashed on rom slot 1 only.

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Motorola Droid 4 (maserati) - Updated [Mar 26,20

I've only been running Avatar for a day, but - WOW - this is a keeper! Incredibly stable, aside from some minor app crashes (which probably were my fault for not giving the rom time to stabilize and madly opening apps :D) it runs smooth as butter!

I absolutely ADORE the Neutralyzed Theme - after finding a better wallpaper for it ;) - it is pure elegance!

And it could just happen that for the first time since I own the D4 the battery lasts longer than a day - I'll find out soon enough.

I already liberated two ROM slots in Safestrap. Barring a major surprise, this will be my working ROM.

Now if only the annoying screen auto-rotate bug could be fixed I would be on cloud 9... currently on 8

You can but before please googled MMX service center experience. Just wrost service by them.
[Micromax A110] maddyrokieasta:
yeah but there are so many people who facing problem after upgrading to jelly bean .. and i bought canvas 2 recently but i have some problem with mic and speakers its looping i mean ( sounds comes and gone ) even the same problem when i used headphones to listen music .. is there any solution or upgrade will gonna solve this issue ??
[Micromax A110] devmgs:
I have already upgraded it and enjoying tyhe JB features alot. But there is only one problem that in the stock JB rom if you receive notification like balance or replies of USSD codes then it will sound even in silent mode. If you no problem in this then go ahead for JB update. Other things are working fine till now.
[Micromax A110] md.abidahmed:
try the suvi ROM v6. Its awesome. No issues, no lags..its one of the most stable ROM I have been using. Based on official stock ROM as base with touchwiz interface. Best part is the developer Mr.suhas has provided patches separately in a thread. You can use those patches of u want to. The camera quality is outstanding. My canvas2 has never been so smooth and better.

[Micromax A110] vikasjangra:
There is no problem as i face till now and i upgraded to jellybean at my home so go for it there is not a single problem like this.

And if you want to go for more customization than you can surely go for MEGAMAX ROM that is highly stable and bug free and lots of cool feature rich rom.
[Micromax A110] maddyrokieasta:
already upgrade it to jelly bean :)) official stock 4.1.1 and its totally awesome without any bugs .

[Motorola Droid 4] lodxcol:
When I try this on my Droid 4 with the latest OTA JB update from Verizon, the terminal gets stuck at "waiting for device". This has happened previously when I tried to use the ICS Utility when my phone still had ICS. I've tried on several Windows PC's and none have seemed to recognized my device even with the latest Motorola drivers installed (when I went to install the drivers included in the JB Utility, I was alerted I already had newer versions). I have USB debugging enabled on my device. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

i noticed the root method used with this utility uses a different superuser

when i used this and tried to use either the verizon tether or wifi tether for root users it wouldn't work because of the su used. But when i downloaded and used a different razor root script that installed supersu everything works great

just a fyi

i used this for rooting

also using this there is no need to put your device in mtp mode

When I used it on ICS that was my issue.... as far as I know yes MTP... are you using the same USB cable each time... have you checked device manager to unsure your phone is connected properly... ... ... yes this will root...
[Motorola Droid 4] lodxcol:
How do I check "device manager"? I'm reading some stuff that leads me to believe Motorola is quite strict about the use of their cables. Some say you may need an actual Motorola branded cable to get the device to connect. Where can I get an official Motorola micro USB cord?

was able to root successfully. tested.. all is good

however... does anyone notice lagging now that this is installed? perhaps the workaround way that this process obtains root does something?

i went from a very fluid movement between app and home screens to laggy and there is some hanging. i rebooted the phone a couple times and have nothing else running, even disabled smartactions.

anyone have this issue? :confused:

Thanks mattlgroff for this great utility and the great instructions. I just upgraded my ICS D4 with eclipse up to the stock JB, rooted, and then installed SS. All without a single problem. THANKS!
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Here's a weird one: I used this utility to upgrade my phone to JB from ICS. Followed all the instructions and the process completed perfectly, except that now my phone will not acknowledge that it's in a dock. I used the utility several times to re-SBF my phone, and for some inexplicable reason now dock mode is broken. Upon inserting it into the dock, nothing happens - it charges just fine, but will not launch car/bedside dock mode. HDMI out is also broken. This problem is present in stock JB and every JB ROM I've tried (damn near all of them). Both my Droid3 dock and a brand-new Motorola HD Dock (opened at the VZW store in front of a tech) show the same results.

Any ideas? The next step is SBFing yet again, but I'm thinking the odds of that fixing the problem are low. I'm almost convinced now that my HDMI port died at the exact moment I upgraded to JB... which seems an astronomically unlikely coincidence, but I'm out of ideas at this point. :confused:

[Motorola Droid 4] wooddale:

[Motorola Droid 4] Briteyez83:
Yeah, us owners of the D4 have it pretty easy. My bf has an HTC which lets you unlock the bootloader but he deals with all these kernals, MD5 sum stuff and the ADB shell. It gets confusing after a min. Im try to read up on root for the Galexy S4 now but im apprehensive cause it deals with the ADB shell.
