[Q] Recommend me a ROM with Bluetooth support - Motorola Droid 3

I have a Droid 3 XT862 which has been running Liberty 2.0 for the last year or so. Now that an official Motorola update has been rolled out, I started wondering if it's time to switch ROM again, maybe back to the stock Droid 3 software.
I have some WLAN issues with Liberty 2.0, so I've tried a couple of times before to switch ROM. Last time it was to MavROM 4.0. Unfortunately, I've always had to come back to Liberty 2.0 because that is the only ROM (except for stock Motorola Droid 3) that will allow my bluetooth headset to connect.
What ROM do you guys recommend for someone that needs bluetooth headset support? Because of the WLAN problems with Liberty 2.0, I'd really like to try something else. Is the stock Motorola Droid 3 ROM my best bet?
Thanks!

Thanks, but as you can see from my original post, I couldn't get bluetooth to work with Maverick 4.0.

[KERNEL] Stock Sense HTC Kernel 2.6.32.17

This is the latest available stock kernel (2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16) for Sense-based Incredible's. Nothing has been modified by me, it's the actual binary built by HTC. It's included in my 10/13 stock release (from a few days ago) but figured anyone on Sense may be interested in it. Before anyone asks, I don't know what's different. We don't have the source for this yet and HTC doesn't exactly provide a change log.
http://files.virtuousrom.com/inc/kernels/virtuous-kernel_stock_v4.zip
I've been running it for a few days now and it seems rock solid to me. So, experiment with it and enjoy.
Thank you ! will try.......
Thank you Sir! I will give er a go!
Thank you !!
I've been using it a couple of days now and it seems to charge faster. I was actually able to charge my phone while playing games on it which hasn't happened since 2.1.

Agree, charging seems to be much faster..
I imagine this will be stock in the virtuous 3.1 release? And if so, will there still be any optional kernels upon install?
Thanks for this

Yes on both. The custom kernel will remain an option, albeit unchanged since source is not available yet to update it.

Can we flash this kernel over the stock 2.2 release without clearing everything?

I'm using this on Lou's redemptive revo rom and it's sweet so far!
Works great on Skyraider 3.3 charging speeds have doubled, almost 1 percent a minute. Fast, stable, and battery life seems as good as stock 2.2 kernal...maybe even better just havent had enough time to do a full test yet.
Thanks for this.
Tired of Kings kernals always slowing down my phone and maybe with this and perflock set to be disabled on boot with SEPCPU I can keep my screen off profiles to save on some more battery life.
Just won't be able to o/c yet but not like I did much before anyway.
A bit sluggish

Liberty3 2.0 allows you to remove the Blur launcher and use an AOSP one in its place. For the battery life especially, Liberty3 was my favorite GB ROM before I went to ICS.

I agree with pgzerwer, ROMs are much easier to find and navigate over at Droid Forums.

This same feature is in mavrom. Mavrom has continued support. Liberty does not. Just trying to help you make a decision.

Nice! Didn't know that! I wished Liberty still had support when I used it. I'd suggest Mav now that I have this knowledge, unless max battery life is worth trading support...even though Liberty seems pretty decent as it sits.

The developer has tweeted that an update to Eclipse based on the .904 leak is in the works and ready for testing
for now I would run the .902 eclipse
Eclipse most def.

I've been using Liberty for a while. I tried some of the Gummy releases as they are more or less the same thing but ICS, but the stability wasn't there yet. I just restored my Safestrap backup of Liberty I took before installing Gummy, though.
I went from AOKP to stock .902 GB.... Now im updating to .904 and trying gummy cherry
I'm running the .904 build if eclipse and its really awesome so far. only problem is the volume buttons don't work but that is remedied by a using an volume control program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControl. but other than that its the best GB ROM there is in my opinion.
Edit... someone posted a fix for the volume buttons in page 6 of the eclipse forum. eclipserom.com/vforum/showthread.php?1612-ROM-Eclipse-Bionic-Build-01-4-26-12 i'm sure nitro will update the ROM soon with the fix.

Port Droid 4 ROM to Droid 3

Hi All,
I have one question.
Is possible port Leaked Droid 4 ICS with full motoblur to Droid 3?
Maybe this can fix camera/bluetooth/hw codecs...
Droid 4 has "the same chipset"
Thank You
Tomas

No. The problem is the kernel. And with the locked bootloader we cannot change the kernel

+1 on above
....aaaaaaargh
This can't be done. As said above the upgrade moves the kernel to 2.6.35.9 to v3.0.8, and the locked bootloader is a problem.
Plus Motorola completely redesigned the interface from GB to ICS. My DROID 4 is running official Motorola ICS and the settings would have to be changed, then it would have to be deodexed, and then signed and tested. With the things being redesigned, the camera may not work immediately, the video may not work and if it was a Port we would have to use CM9 as a base. So video most likely won't work.
It would be filled with bugs probably, so it would be a complicated process.

Whats added/missing from stock?
anything you miss?
is it any faster?
is tethering built in?
Details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701865
A bit more zippy than the stock ROM due to the reasons listed on that thread. Otherwise, it's Samsung's honeycomb image.
Yes, android native tethering, both WiFi and USB, is enabled.
If you still think it's slow, get a new launcher, twlauncher (touchwiz) is kind of a beast...
You can overclock it to 1.7ghz or so and it'll still be reliable, at least that's my experience.
The ATT ICS ROM is in test with the carrier. It'll probably be out in a month or two. Samsung should also release the ICS kernel source around then, after which you'll likely see some custom ICS images -- Nobody wants to bother making custom HC images OR trying to get an ICS kernel working on this device before Samsung releases a proper one -- Several have tried and found it quite a task.
ICS is out for the WiFi versions. The LTE version should be available with Odin or Kies before ATT offers it via OTA.
