D3 Clockwork Recovery on the way!

I just saw this! Follow @P3Droid on twitter for any updates! My guess by Friday Clockwork will be up!
Good afternoon everyone. According to a reliable source we have just been informed that the Motorola Droid 3 now has a fully functioning recovery. This is great news for those that want to have the flexibility that CWR brings to the Android line of devices. Currently we don't have the specifics regarding the method of installation but according to P3 more information will follow soon..
I know there are a lot of excited D3 owners and Devs out there hearing this. I also hope this means we'll see the X2 and the Bionic to Follow. Let the Backups and Flashing begin.

For real? That'd be epic and amazing!

Wow that's humongous!

does that mean people who update the leaked OTA on to their phone could potentially flash back to original stock?

Yummy.

I actually dont like some things the OTA has done and would rather have a bit of a blue tint than some other stuff.

Not really caring about roms. My main concern, right now, is if someone backs a backup of the bone stock pre OTA phone, with clockwork recovery, will i be able to install it on to my phone?

I think the best part of this so far is that nandroid is working (ie: backups can be made & flashed w/o the hassles of using RSDLite and waiting for SBFs). Great news! One step closer to Cyanogen.

I believe its possible, but not practicle or easy. You have to change a bunch of stuff to the backup and then I'm pretty sure you have issues with the esn and stuff, but I could be wrong. I remember it being discussed once, but that was many months ago.

There are still ways to get CM7 running on the Blur kernel. And overclock it with modular overclocking.
I hope to see this phone at 1.5 ghz someday. But what I really want is a stock themed debloated rom. Recovery means we're about have roms, so I can't wait!

Basically what it means is that you can install any rom made for the droid 3. Different "cooks/chefs" (people who cook or make roms) will make roms ranging from stock 2.3.4 (sans blur) to modified "improved" 2.3.4 stock droid rom to new versions that have leaked like the upcoming Ice-cream os and maybe even Jelly Bean.
Truly unicorns here. I remember when I had the D1 the battery life was barely better than what we have now. Liquid cooked up a rom that gave me a 2 day battery life with heavy use.
Not to mention hotstpotting and other cool things. I doubt getting past or fooling the Efuse is too difficult after the unlocked bootloader.

Look at how far development has come on the Milestone despite its locked bootloader; granted, it's been almost 2 years since that phone came out but it certainly is possible to squeeze way more performance out of these bad boys than is possible with their stock representation!
Can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!

Black Glass Style Keyboard

For those of you familiar with the Black Glass X theme by 928Droid, I have ported some of the keyboard colors and images into the Bionic Keyboard.
Below are the screenshots along with the install for it.
This install package must be installed from Bionic Bootstrapper, which means you must be ROOTed. You also must be DeOdexed. My Auto-DeOdexer is in my signature.
I have this running on my phone from the install package, so I know it works. This does not mess with the swype keyboard at all. This only replaces the LatinIME.apk file which is for the standard Multi-touch Keyboard.
If you have issues, just let me know.
Again, as I always say, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you mess up your phone.... it's not my fault.
ENJOY!!!
I added the Factory LatinIME.apk install as well for those that wish to revert back to the factory grey.

Do no need root for this to install? Is it compatible with Swype?

Flashed with no problems, I love the look of it
Thanks

Yes you need root, because it flashes through CWM recovery via the bootstrap....and no, it just replaces the LatinIME.apk. Swype is a separate application.

Worked great thanks!!

flashed this with cwm via bootstrap and nothing?

Ok... I guess I forgot to specify this in the OP... you must be DeOdexed in order to install any themed items. I will fix the OP to explain that better. If you are rooted, there is a link to my Auto-DeOdexer in my signature.

What version of UNL3ASH3D were you on when you flashed this? I was on 1.1 and i lost the multi-touch keyboard altogether...had to re-flash the ROM.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Installed 1.1 over 1.0, let v1.1 boot. Then, rebooted & installed. Never had issue whatsoever.
Im getting ready to flash v1.2. If I get frisky, I'll wipe and install fresh, and let you know if I have any trouble.

As far as I know, yes it is. I was replying to somebody else that was having issues with it and only assumed they had not DeOdexed yet.

[Q] Bootloop after flashing Gummy

Hi, guys,
I am recently rooted. I am experienced in rooting (Eris and Incredible), but you all know the Droid 3 is a little different. I am gaining CM recovery with the bootstrap app. I flashed gummy 1.2.0 but I keep getting stuck in the animation. I am wiping dalvik and data, and I know I am doing everything right.
I flashed Gummy 0.9 last night and it worked perfectly except I had no 3g, so I researched and discovered 1.2.0 was released which fixed the problem, so I tried it to no avail. I LOVED Gummy 0.9, and I would really love to have Gummy on my phone. Any suggestions would be great.
And yes, I have been searching the site since last night.

Try flashing Safestrap instead.

Probably could have left "for now" off of that. If it doesn't have more development by now, it never will.

I say 'for now' for a reason
I AM working on some stuff. 3 themes and kernel. Thank you very much.
Quote of the day: "Optimism brings about innovation."
Not the other way around, bro.
****btw CM9 is STILL in development for our LG Revolution.

Sorry if I seem skeptical. Its just that there was talk about cyanogen last year and nothing much ever came of it, nor has much ever came of the other rumored Roms that were talked about. I hope I'm proved wrong because no Android should have only one developer.

Well.... there is Broken Out 3.0 which opened the door for roming on this device....
Eclipse Rom.... which was second
Black Plague 1.0 which is IMO the best of the options.... including the kernel that comes as a separate flashable zip .... it has the best on battery life as well as lagfree performance and undervolting.... also has a higher charge rate included.... and zram swap enabled....
There is also Holo 3.2.6 which is essentially a themed rom.....
Ninjroid is an option as well....
Oh and Plagued Optimus V1....
You can find all these here..... it just takes a bit of searching and you will have everything you need at your finger tips....
Oh and kernel wise .... there is a flashable blitzkrieg ..... plague kernel.... and popcorn kernel....
this is incomplete but it does list the best of the best

are there any ICS roms for the LG Spectrum that anyone knows of? I've heard of leaks about updates for it, but I can't find anything out about it. thanks

The leak ends in bricks and wiped IMEI blocks... No ics roms because the leak was too buggy .... It's fixable after wiping the IMEI but you get no 4g and almost no functionality

I'm having zero luck getting any of the CM 10.x ROMs to load on my Spectrum. Someone over at CM said to check for updated bootloaders and radios. Does anybody know what the latest updates are?
I'm running with CWM 6.x for recovery.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!!

ROM Porting
Why can't anyone work on porting these ROM's to the vs930

why post about the vs920 here?
i am curious as to why this phone does not have its own thread. it needs to be available in the device selection list and i intend to make it happen. i cant find it except by using the general search tool. i cant find old roms for the phone here (gingerbread rom files, mirrors or anything helpful to restore to stock) so that we can do something useful for it.

ROMS

Been out of the loop for a while . What is the latest and greatest from for Bionic . I am looking for a clean ics with no bloatware.

I had a hard time dealing with the UI elements of Icarus. I had a better time with Eclipse 1.2. It wasn't perfect but it got a lot of things done.

What are you looking for other than "a clean ICS"? What "wasn't perfect about eclipse? Need more specifics about what your looking for and or not happy with...

I to have been off the ROM grid due to some issues with my device not connecting to adb over a few months but I just fixed it somehow, rooted, and I've been looking, for your needs try eclipse. That fitted the bill for GB so I'm sure is just as well on ICS

There is also a stripped down version in the second post. I really liked it once I put the stock bat and signal indicator and the stock images for the toggles -- it was all pretty simple.
