I have to admit I'm a little bummed that the Bionic got recovery and cvpcs has already successfully booted CM7 on it... where's our devs at?
They're going elsewhere because they're tired of hearing everyone whining and complaining that they aren't doing enough

I'm not complaining. I understand that it is largely a payless and thankless job. I'm just saying it sucks that a phone that has only been out for 9 days already has more development for it then one that has been out almost 3 months when the hardware is essentially the same. I mean, the Bionic got Fastboot Recovery in like 5 days when it took us 2 months. I'm aware that we will get everything the Bionic does, it just seems like we'll always be second in line. In the long run it doesn't matter, both phones will have 2nd-init and ICS/CM8 in the future.

Lol...not complaining. Was just curious.
I do not like the demanding attitude some people seem to have, so I'm not sure it's even worth to reply in this thread ... anyway ...
Keep in mind it took a lot of time to have D3 even rooted, while Bionic users and devs just benefitted from the D3 root exploit.
I too am honestly a bit pissed that the bionic got more attention given it is riding the dev wave of d3.
Oh well.

A couple have guys have been working side by side with cvpcs to get it up and running. They're making sure that there aren't any bugs before they release it.
The last thing we want is ruining a bunch of D3's because we released it early. They said a release today is probably a good bet.

Who's demanding? I was just curious. I didn't think this thread was gonna turn into a crapstorm.
I bet part of the reason the bionic is getting all this attention is the fact that its been out for months in the form of the atrix. Plus the amount of hype it has had over the last several months. Recovery is coming along nicely for our D3's

Yeah, I get no data in the school I work in (hurricane shelter) and no 4G coverage at my house.
I have heard that a 3G phone on WiFi is as fast as 4G. That said the 4G/3G is really a non issue. With my D1 it rocked, CM7 nightlies #175, jdlfg 1266mhz @1100, Koush-Any-Kernel-b0e8859, Superuser 3.0 beta 4 efgh, Quardant Standard 1741. D3 will be out front always. I am satisfied to be in the mix. Bionic can do its lap dance, I'll watch. We're all winning, thats whats so great about this. All glory to the DEvs.

post your droid 4 mods or hacks here! I myself do not have any of said mods/hacks, but im sure someone out there does!
Looks like a 1.4ghz oc has been ported:
https://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/downloads/list
interesting on the OC.....I won't try it yet until I have an sbf or some sort of serious recovery option. Do not want to soft brick my new phone just yet. Thanks for posting that though!
I do not know if you really call any of this "hacking". I used TiB and froze all the bloat(will not uninstall until SBF option). I used rom toolbox and stopped a lot of programs from auto opening, increased wifi scan interval to try and save battery a bit. I changed my boot animation to the Nexus one....what else........I was going to attempt the script by naven to flip flop the internal storage and mem card but I dont think I want to just yet. I suppose this is just more optimization than anything...but it did make the phone a bit peppier. So far this phone is great, I really like it.
Stupid question, but how close is the Droid 4 / Razr in terms of hardware? Can a ROM from Razr be easily ported on to the Droid 4?

I dont think thats a dumb question at all. They are very similar. I used the Safestrap from the Razr and all is working fine on my 4. I really want the battery % for this though...I am going to try the UOT kitchen tonight and see if I have any luck.

As far as radio & processors, it's pretty much the same as the RAZR, but with physical keyboard & an upgraded CMOS sensor on the camera, any ROM from a RAZR would need some pretty heavy modification to work with the D4.
It won't be as big as if you were starting from scratch or modding a D3 ROM, but it's still going to be a process.

Agreed. This is the first time I've had a "brand new" phone, meant in both ways. The last phones I've had, already had the SBF files(since I was using D1 and D2G). How long has it typically taken, in the past, for them to leak those files? I can't wait for them to release to start playing with files and trying new things.

There are plenty of us who got this new beautiful beast... thing to remember is that people are apprehensive about a few things so we have to report well to get more people to commit to it and also, the phone wasn't advertised at all and it only came out a week ago. I already have 3 of my friends contemplating buying one since it was rooted in a day, wifi tethered in 2 and OC'd in less than a week. The developement for this is going to be awesome once the ball gets rolling. WE HAD ROOT THE DAY IT CAME OUT... come on... lol

We had OC and tether the day it came out also. I was testing it for the dev of AWT and the same developer created the modules for OCing....those were already setup for the razr. We just wanted to make sure they would work with the d4 also. JUST FYI.

Hey guys!
It has been a while since I have stopped over here to the DROID 3 community and peeped a "Hello" in so I thought I would say Hi and get ya up to speed on where I've been.
So I last posted around uhhh maybe 3 weeks ago here and as some of you know I recently bought a Droid 4. I have been in the Droid 4 community for all this time, and a lot of people from the D3 community moved to the D4 like me.
Most went D3 > D4, but I went D3 > Bionic > D4, but nonetheless I got a Droid 4.
If I have to say anything the Droid 3 development community was the NICEST community I've ever had the privilege to have an experience with. I know I didn't have my Droid 3 that long, but in the short 4 months I had one active, I had my best experiences. I developed, I leaked updates, I never got b**ched at for asking a simple question (P.S. Droid Incredible 2 community) and EVERYBODY was nice. Still is nice.
I miss coming here. I seriously do. I reached out to this community for prayers for a personal problem, and I almost NEVER post anything about something as serious as that was when that happened with my nephew and his grandmother. I almost NEVER post something that serious but I had grown so fond of all of you I knew I could trust you guys by posting it. I was right. I will most likely never meet a community as nice as you guys are.
Even though I had bad luck with the Droid 3, I loved my Droid 3. If anybody wants a new phone, a Droid 4 is a great option. I love mine!
I wanted to stop by and say that I will try to come around here more as I know more about the Droid 3 and Droid 4 then just about any other phone out there.
I'd also like to know how everybody has been doing. Just to say, my family is fine and recovered from our bump in the road back in early May (or Late April; I have a hard time remembering the time period) and nothing serious has happened since then.
So I thought I'd post this and let you know about my whereabouts and say Hi.
Don't hesitate to respond!

Maybe off ebay and then unlocked it, which is what I was planning on doing since they released that update which unlocked the GSM functionality.
LaZiODROID,
I bought mine off of here, on XDA in the marketplace. Then I loaded up the latest leak at the time, no unlock required! It just comes up and says unknown SIM when it boots up... Not a huge deal. So far it's way better, and it gives me better bettery life. I think the Bell XT860 really liked being on 3G, but this one doesn't mind going onto EDGE when 3G signal is bad (which is most of the day for me in the office)

Because we have a pretty good device, and development was great for a while but the bootloader has kept this device from being truly great for a long time. i think if we can crack it it would bring back some development. and not only that but if we can find a way to crack this maybe we can put our information forward to other motorola devices with the same issue. id love to have the kernel options, and variety of roms available ive had on past devices. the og evo was awesome for that one reason. and i honestly believe its possible....

An unlocked bootloader would make no difference. With kexec we can bypass and use a custom kernel anyways. However the custom kernel is still in development as motorola never released an ics/JB kernel

I think it would be great to crack the bootloader. However, has any phone with a locke bootloader been cracked without a leak from the manufacturer?
Moto must be using pretty large bit keys to lock the bootloader. You'll have to be lucky to crack it, not good.
I don't really see the actually bootloader lock changing in anyway. As said above kexec is a good system, just have to be patient.

I know that we have Kexec on D3, but I'm going to try an experiment on the Bootloader this weekend to see if I can unlock it. Reason being other devices do not have kexec and something crazy happened last night at work. In short, I cracked an AES encryption on a Motorola Radio(the ones Ambulances use). I know that may not sound like much, but I think I might have a way to do the same method on the Bootloaders for our Motorola Phones. I don't wanna go into too many details on it, but I'll try to get you guys a response next week sometime.
Please lol no trolling, I just like trying things. Chances are the method may not work.

OK I have a birthday tomorrow and as a present I am moving on to the Galaxy SII (yes, it's FINALLY my turn to say that!). $199 was too good to refuse, especially with 4 flexpays of $50. Two years of battling the Exhibit are enough, wouldn't you say? Anyway I will miss the forum around here a bit, even though we've had a number of departures over the past year. If it wasn't for the good folks in this community the Exhibit would have been retired LONG ago for me. Frankly without a custom ROM/kernel it is a POS device. No other way to put it! At least we have one or two new guys on the block to carry on for those who still have this phone or just got it. I wish them luck. As for myself I can't wait to try all the things that are available on XDA for this device. Hope I don't flash more ROMs than I did for the Exhibit or I will have no life left, LOL.
Anyway for those who are interested, go here for the deal: http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/7334966
A couple months they ran out and just now got these phones back in stock. At that price I bet they don't have them for long.

Thanks man. Unfortunately HSN just raised the price back up to $249, same as they have it on Amazon. Man glad I didn't procrastinate anymore like I always do. Funny thing is I watched the video presentation they did on TV and I'm thinking how many more they could sell if they promoted the fact you can root & get the latest ROMs out there. Of course if they did that people would know they can get rid of that bloatware! Just think of the poor sheep who will just keep stock ICS on it.

I think that rooting is beyond the scope of most people's interest. As it also voids any warranty, the manufacturer would be slightly against HSN promoting the practice, is my guess.

They said 4.0 on the commercial and on the website. A friend of mine has one and it has ICS on it. No matter because it will be rooted and updated when I get it. Question will be whether or not to go with a 4.2.2 rom or KitKat. So many apps need to catch up to ART and the whole 4.4 OS system.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit running AOIP.
Yes. There still needs to be some development before I move to 4.0. I'm very interested, once the system had been around a bit. I don't usually get the x.0 version of any software. To many issues.

BTW if I forgot somebody it wasn't on purpose. Now on to the hard work of rooting and finding a ROM for the new phone. Hopefully I will settle on one or two but if my experience with the Exhibit showed anything it was a penchant for being a fairweather ROM user!:laugh: I may stop by here every now and then too, afterall I haven't given the Exhibit away to anybody yet.
Lastly if it was one thing I got out of using this phone, it was to appreciate a really good phone once I got it.

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5. It has some sound bugs (some sound is fine with some apps and not others) and the vibration isn't as strong on key presses (but in other areas is fine and a tester app I found shows the vibration motor is fine). Meh, the speed just kicks butt! Also, having 2G of RAM is ..... awesome. The quad core ... anyway .. you get the idea.
I am still thinking of which ROM to put on ... I had cyanogenmod on my other phone and I loved it ... but they're not quite ready.
Take care and thanks for writing man!

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5.

Augh! RebelROM!!! I'm having a PTSD flashback! AD, it was good to work with you. You taught me a lot. Good luck. I will try to nab one of those Galaxy Lights to use as a DD, so i can keep playing with the Exhibit. It's a solid little phone and good learning tool. I wish you all the best and don't forget us!
I know I haven't been active in the exhibit community . But I'm glad you guys enjoyed RebelRom so much . Enjoy your nexus 5!

It's really good to hear from you man, and yes RebelROM was hands down the best GB ROM this phone ever had. People here can testify how many times I went back to it every time I got frustrated with one of the ICS ROMs back in the day.
Lol I just came back from rebel Lol, ran great but I sure did miss all the features of newer ROMs. But I like that galaxy light as well quad core with 1gb ram sounds a ton better then this lol

Man, I'm gonna miss seeing you around here because I don't say much and when things got a little quiet , you were still there, keeping the ball rolling. Everything ends at some point and I'm just waiting for the day this place turns into a ghost town. At least some awesome devs left us in a pretty.good spot. Also, thanks for all your help as you were part of making this phone great as well.
Good luck fellow Kentuckian!

Hello everyone,
As you all know, Hashcode has stopped supporting safestrap (as he mentioned in his last post in the safestrap thread. Good luck to him on his new career and many many thanks for the amazing safestrap). Now it's time for our existing developers to chime in and get the lead and keep the project running for us (at least the AT&T note 3 community. If they can go further, that's even better). I'm asking all of my friends/brothers here on the note 3 community that have the skills for it to jump in and mess with safestrap and see what they can do. I know for sure that we have a very good number of very smart devs here who can definitely make something happen.
Thank you in advance!

Questions! Could we keep them in the correct forum?
Lol. Note 4 is coming out. Safestrap would be wanted more over there as it will arrive completely stock and locked down. SS for Note 3 seems to be working perfectly fine the way it is. However, I don't use it much anymore.

Well, that's true, but we are also gonna be getting more updates. We are not going to just stay on 4.4.2 forever, right? Lol
Both of you have great point but it's not who needs it more. We all need it for our devices. I hope we can find someone to pick up the torch.

The only reason we would need an update is if we were to get Android L, but I'm not holding my breath for that one, specially since the note 4 is supposed to be released with kit kat, and then it will probably update to L. It would be awesome if we would get the android update!

I don't understand how come people don't expect high spec flagship devices to get updates.... We will have it.

I always wonder the same. Once a new phone comes out, people think their current phone is garbage. Note 3 will still be a flagship kickass phone for at least 4 years from now IMO. Very high specs that can keep up with so many updated to come.
Every phone I've ever had I had the latest os long before it was officially released. I'm not waiting on att for it.

None that will be affective enough. Who knows, especially with what I've seen in the past, we could very well stay on 4.4.2 forever.

Nobody really needs it. It's a desire, correct? Regardless, I'm fairly certain that people will be grabbing the Note 4 and checking for any immediate possibilities. Time will tell.

I highly doubt that there will be root for the note 4 right away. It will definitely take a very long time if not never.

I can guarantee there won't be root for quite some time. That's why I stated that people will want Safestrap on Note 4, not the Note 3 that already has a fairly stable version. Stable enough, that is. Time will tell.
Why do we guarantee no root. You people make statements without merit

Gezzz lots of older phones still get updates. I'm still thinking at some point we will see a bootloader hack
No worries. The Alliance Team is gonna try to pick up SS for everyone.
