Hey guys and gals!
Anyone know where I may be able to find a working Droid X/Droid 2 keyboard for CM7? I used to love that keyboard the best but have not been able to find one that's 2.3 compatible. I figure there should be one soon if not already since 2.3 for the Droid x and 2 have been leaked. So yea if anyone could help that would be sweet!
Thanks!

There is a way by most likely porting the whole build over. But I'm waiting for the droid2 to come out which is supposed to have ninjablur running on froyo. It should be a very easy port since it's basically an upgraded droid from what I've heard.
Ok, great. thanks for the reply.

so, now that the droid 2 is out, r u working on a rom?
if I may interject, that may be hard due to the locked bootloader, but stranger things have happened, though I do wonder what you find desirable in blur. Not meant to be rude, it's just that launcher pro payed has awsome homescreen widgets for social networks, and to my knowlede one of the main reasons people root is to rid their phones of forced upon software like blur. Though if it's really uninvasive, I guess I could see how that could be usefull. (oh, btw hardware changes all the time, just because its the droid 2, don't automatically think its an easy port to throw onto the D1) Did you know the Htc Incredible was originally supposed to have 8 gigs of rom, and, I believe like 2 gigs of ram, too. Though you see how that played out, slap the droid label on anything and you can sell about half the actual device to people at the same price, but I digress. Basically, if you really, really want this ported, make some developer friends online, ask nicely on the forums, or, you know, become a rom chef.
Just curious if anyone knows if any of the Devs are working on getting MIUI or CM7 on the D3. I'm assuming we're waiting to "ride the wave", so to speak, on the progress made for the Bionic. Am I correct?
They are working on cm7 right now there is even a vid showing it on the d3 so it should be really soon

A video of the d3 running a good portion of cm7 was posted on droidlife earlier today: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/04/video-droid3-receiving-some-cyanogenmod-7-love/
Not everything works yet, granted, but we're close.

miui is based on cm7, so until cm7 is out there won't be much going on in the miui scene. and i've heard reports that it could be a couple weeks before cm7 beta
Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it. Great news.
I really hope someone coes out with miui ROM for the Droid 3. itd be really nice.

We have people working on that too.
I love CM7, but in that case is much more great for me, because in standard d3 we make chose lang. between ES or US and in CM7 i finally will be make pickup PL.
And power widget in notification bar is great in cm7
Could anyone tell me whether CM7 or MIUI will also be made for the XT860? Or will they work out of the box on XT860?

I would GUESS that they would work on the XT860 as well. I know from my experiences with the Desire Z (Canadian version of the G2) that the ROMS worked on both phones.
I'm no expert so if I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Waiting on my New XT860 to get here =D

Well in the other topic they say it will probably NOT work... this is really confusing.

It would be great if any of the ROM devs would be able to comment on this.

Probably won't know until an alpha or beta is available and someone takes the plunge to test it on the XT860
I have looked quite a bit through the forums and really I cant see a way that is working on the milestone x. I hate to even post...but does anyone have a how to that is just that for the milestone x on ntelos?
Hello. I will be receiving a Droid 3 as a warranty replacement tomorrow. It comes with ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) pre-installed. I have been searching, and cannot find a way to root the Droid 3.
I am hoping I missed it. If someone can point me to the tutorial for rooting the Droid 3 with ICS, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Where did you hear it will come with ICS...? Because it won't.
I was told this by the Verizon rep. It is a warranty replacement. he specifically said it has ICS on it. No, I am not mistaken. Maybe he was?
Even if it doesn't, I have been unable to find a tutorial for rooting the Droid 3.
I can assure you that it will not be arriving with ICS, I'm sure he must have been mistaken. It will most likely be running Gingerbread 2.3.4 with the 5.6.890 system software.
Anywho... here is the tutorial you are looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240130
If you do get one with ics on it then I will be calling Verizon and having them replace my phone for one like that

If you get a phone w/ics system dump before anything else please, if you need a hand lots of people here will help (or on irc) but since moto still has the d3 listed as "evaluating" for ics and haven't even started working on a build I would say the rep is more than likely mistaken. Hopefully not but if moto had an ics build for the d3 I imagine we would have heard about a soak or something. As for your question I would probably try the root for d4 and if that didn't work check out what they're using on the nexus etc
If you do get ICS please tweet Hash. We really could benefit from it.

We would still have a locked bootloader and the same kernel issues though. I'd put money on the rep being wrong, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
so what version of android did you end up getting on the d3?

You folks were right. He was wrong. It has 2.3.4.
It runs pretty fast, compares well to the DX2. I wanted CM ROM on it, but none are completely working. Camera has issues GSM FCs and so forth. I just wish my DX2 would work. Haven't used a physical keyboard in a while either.
What do you folks think of your Droid 3s?

I bought my D3 FOR the keyboard. I came from an enV touch and the thought of a touchscreen keyboard that wasn't 100% perfect made me shiver. Looking back, I would definitely have gone with a SGS II. I didn't know anything about the D3's bootloader being locked and the full touch screen is definitely worth the unlocked bootloader. That being said, I still love the keyboard. It's better than any I have ever used.
I don't hate my Droid 3. It runs my ICS roms rather smoothly and the only thing that I wished worked is Google Chrome. I use the camera but I found that I have not wanted to use the video recorder since switching; even if it DID work.
If you want a CM ROM that is pretty stable, I'd recommend 7.2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308924
It's a bit more stable than CM9, though it still has some bugs. Stable enough for a daily driver in my opinion.
My d3 is alright but if I was sent one now with any option of sending back either for a different phone or terminate a contract(within 30 days or whatever and setup a new one) I would jump @ the chance, just because its a little old, 1g ram would be nice but imo it's like dual core phones, 1 core is wasted 90% of the time, upgradable to ics would be very nice too, custom kernel would be nicest though(htc,lg etc etc). I guess what I'm saying is its decent but I wouldn't buy one now.

I'd say droid 3 is all about the keyboard. Without the keyboard, there would be many better phones. Phones with 1GB ram, unlocked bootloader and a better screen.
However, I'd rather have a keyboard than have those ^ things without a keyboard .
It seems to run faster, and more smooth than my Droid X2. It's ugly though, and it will take some getting used to a physical keyboard again. I have it rooted, radiocom hacked. I want to tweak the camera, but the thread is confusing me a bit as to which zip to use, or which edits to make to build.pro and the XML file. I would prefer to edit rather than install a zip as I don't really want a bootstrap on the phone.
App Brain is making me frustrated though, since Fast Web Installer will not log in.
So far, I am loving this.
Another heartbreak. If D3 doesn't gets ICS by July, I'll let it go.

Hi,
Why I am looking for webtop replacement is I want to more utilize my phone and tailor made the phone's feature to suitable for my need.
I still at 2.3.6 because I love webtop 2.0 but the features is very limited, thus looking for others but only I can find is Gentop2.
According to the tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617684
it seem no problem to run on Atrix, but do anyone tried it on Droid 4? Droid4 is currently my primary phone so I cannot bear the risk for fail... (or trial)
Thank you!!
Kent
