Hi all,
could someone post a zip of the deodexed system apps of 2.3 Droid 4?
I'd like to try which apps are working on the DROID 3!
Especially the Gallery (which seems to show folders now) and the Music App.
Thanks in advance!
I would gladly deodex the rom, since I need it that way too, but I have a learning curve involved. If anyhone already has it, I might be able to help with lapdock love on the custom roms.

OK guys I am posting the files I needed to port my 2.3.340 based ROM, GummyJAR, to the D2..
This should work for any 320/340 DX ROM really.
Now with my ROM I also had to include the AOSP keyboard as the Gingerbread one doesn't work right on the D2.. Also make sure to to redue your build.prop edits as this update comes with a build.prop
Here is an update.zip with all the needed files
Please if you like my work donate as I would like to buy other phones to build other ROMS
Tried it on a few different roms. Camera and video camera, the things I couldnt get working, work Physical keyboard, the one thing I did figure out, does not. Easy fix though. Your awesome Kejar!!
**I updated your update.zip to fix keyboard. It works 100% on the 3 roms ive tested it on. Can I post it or do you want to post it?
Go ahead and post it

That would be a tad harder since you'll need more proprietary files. It is so easy for these devices because they have very similar hardware.
I want to hook up my cousins d3
I'm a frequent on the Epic 4g boards and I've been with android since htc hero so its not new to me and I read up on the d3, however coming from a galaxy s to droid is a lot different than I thougt lol
So my question is how can I root the droid 3 and then flash a rom? What rom do you recommend? Isn't the droid 3 bootloader locked? What's a softloader? What's this CWM bootloader business?
Its so different than a galaxy s! Lol! All help will be appreciated. And sorry for this thread....as a fellow xda'er I know how annoying thesethreads are...but samsung babied me with the gs everything was simpler lol

All you gotta do is hook the Droid 3 up to the computer, install the drivers, download the root program and let it do it's thing. Then you gotta install a version of Clockwork, either Safestrap or Bootstrap depending on the ROM. As far as picking a ROM right now except for Liberty most of them are just basically Verizon ROM based without the junk and are excellent ROMs. Liberty I am not sure but I think combines a few things from the Verizon ROM and a few AOSP features. That is the procedure in a nutshell anyway.

in addition to what he said, yes the bootloader is locked. the clockwork mod is a hijack to allow you to boot into recovery. the safestrap is a 2nd system that runs from the preinstall partition, leaving your default partition intact. CM7 still has some bugs in it. im running MonsterRom but Steel Droid, Dark Droid, are also good BLUR roms (as in motorola blur parts). Liberty has AOSP and blur but i havent tested that out.
So we have root, custom kernel, and now CWM. It is about time we have a custom ROM to flash. Still no developers with the device, but we have gotten this far with the help of other developers without the device. I was thinking we could get a list of requests and then contact the right people and provide them the files they need to modify.
I guess ill start with the most obvious ones.
[*] Root / SU / Busybox
[*] Zipaligned
[*] Deodexed
[*] Ad Blocking
[*] Browser tweaks
[*] Bloatware removal
[*] OC kernel?
[*] CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .hidenandroidprogress built in
[*] Updated stock apps
[*] Extended Power Menu
[*] Theming? (not necessary)
[*] Tethering
Thats all I can think of for now. Once we get a list of things we can begin to find someone with the skills to do it.
Pretty much what you mentioned. And of course the obvious one. ICS is the big want and I know it will take some time. Preferably right now a cleaned up stock rom and themes would be cool.
So i installed linux on my netbook along with dsixda's ROM kitchen. I dont know much but ill see what i can do.
so yea.
so far i can create a ROM which is bloatware free, zipaligned, deodexed, rooted, CWM w/ hidenandroidprogress, updated system apps, with or without OC kernel, and with tethering. sweet.
basically teaching myself though so it may be a while.
I'm not really active on these forums, but I'm also available for testing on my i957. (Wasn't allowed to post in the dev forum until I hit 10 posts)
Yep all the above. the main thing is to get rid of this UI lag.
On my 8.9 LTE i just used another launcher and it was gone...
I'm using another launcher and it's almost gone. I still get forces. I really want to do a full restore of the original rom before any roots and try to push the OC and libs again. The stock ROM I was given by Croak only helps recover from issues but not the ones I mentioned. It never had force closes or any weird issues before. But since the OC it's been running kinda crazy.
Thanks Orlando for the initiative!
In addition to what you have written, If possible, I would also would love to have:
1. Icons representing cellular speed (2G,3G,H,H+,4G) as on my SGS2.
2. JKAY mod. I don't know if this mod is SGS2 only mod or not. , but if it is possible to port it to our tab it would be great.
Thanks
I am not a dev by any means. I just dont have the time to teach myself all of the ins and outs that sammy devs and AOSP devs do. I give them so much credit. Coming from years of a windows base and no programming experience, its tough. I cant make up for what real devs can do, but for now I think I can get a ROM out which will be decent until we can get some real help.
I thnk as soon as we get a good stable, flashable, deodexed base it will open up a lot more easily implimented possibilities for theming and adding/subtracting little odds and ends that differentiate some of the different major ROMS.
My suggestion is to just work on good stable base ROM with fully functioning basics first and let the community work it from there.
I really need to fix the update-binary and the update script in order for this to work in CWM.
but basically I just did simple automated tasks. Kitchened from my nandroid.
Rooted
Superuser
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Da_G Overclock Kernel
NoFrills OC App
Custom Libs for OC
Asus Water Wallpaper
Asus Weather Widget
Titanium Backup
Rom Manager (Dont Use It)
Custom Boot Animation Enabled
Bash Shell Support
CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .nandroidprogress
If it turns out that the nandroid wont work well, then the stock will have to be modified, which means basically just deodex, root, zipalign. thats about all I can do. I wish i knew more about the whole android system but sadly i dont. i am trying to teach myself but it is going to be slow, so i pray we get a real dev soon.
Whatever you can do man is much appreciated. I wish I had a coders heart and talent. Because spend enough time on a PC to be able to contribute if I could this type of coding.
I thought I had everything set and tried to flash and just got bootloops. Then I just took the stock ROM and made a flashable zip from the stock firmware and that didn't even boot. Really discouraging and it took forever to get my tab back to working. Might be better just to wait for someone who knows what they are doing.

Take it easy... Did you took the $7 AT&T insurance for the tab? Usually the AT&T sales rep. does not even know that there is an insurance option for this tab. I went online and saw there was insurance... And mentioned it to the AT&T rep. when buying the tab and he said there was no insurance option... And I told him, yes there is! And he double check and finally realized there was insurance. I took it, because I know the feeling of converting into a brick a brand new shiny device, lol... And look where I am... Already rooted, O/C, flashed recovery and waiting for CM9 or any rom available, lol... Just taking the sidewalk on brick ave. Lol...

Now, I'm currently running Gingerbread, and touchwiz is fine. But I've been looking at the leaked ICS for Note and its wrapped in touchwiz and looks kinda bad.
I was wondering if there is a way to disable/uninstall touchwiz on gingerbread (this would give me hope for ICS).
I mean disable, not cover up with another launcher or something similar.
Cheers
Gingerbread 2.3.6
You cant uninstall twframework, but you could if rooted do what you want.. Like remove the twlauncher with rootexplorer and push a orig launcher in there

Do you have root on your Note ?
Install an AOSP ICS ROM or the new MIUI ROM...Touchwiz free...and better than any stock firmwares.
Edit: I've honestly never run any Android device that wasn't rooted or running custom firmware. Most people don't around these parts anyway. Your everyday Jo probably couldn't even tell you what phone they have, let alone the operating system.
if you just don't like Touchwiz you can install another launcher, regardless of root and whatever ROM you are on.
Similarly, when Touchwiz ICS comes out you can just install nova launcher and a minute or two after the update already get rid of the gaudy colors and icons.
Probably the best will be when we get a post-alpha build of CM9 with everything including s pen apps working, but that may take a while

No not rooted yet. I have previosly rooted HTC Desire without problems and the Odin method looks pretty easy.
Haven't been able to find one, but I was hoping someone knew if there was a vanilla GB rom for the Droid 4. I want to get a "de-blurred" version on GB on the D4 until we get ICS. Anyone know of one? Thanks in advance!
There's a few roms that still have Motoblur but with less bloatware, but none that match your description. For a true "vanilla" GB experience you'd probably want CM7, but Hashcode pretty much abandoned his work on it for CM9. That was on the Droid 3, I highly doubt there's anything for the Droid 4 at this point.

Unfortunately, the biggest hold-back has been getting a deodexed version of the stock ROM. I tried deodexing once so far, and my result didn't boot. At the moment, I'm running one of the Nightlies of AOKP that has proven to be particularly stable, so whether I will go back to trying to deblur the stock ROM, I don't know. Honestly, I haven't seen much interest in it. You can try my Motoblur LT ROM for now and see how it works for you, though. I did replace the launcher with Zeam and added the stock Car Home, but that's about it I'm afraid.
I used this to deblur my phone a few minutes ago and it seems fine so far. btw i DID NOT hard reset my phone.
I'm running Eclipse 1.3.4, and it's de-Blurred enough that I can stand it. Intall a launcher, and you'd hardly know there is any Blur left.
Eclipse is deodexed.

Is it possible to build CM7 from source for the DROID 4? Can we use the vendor files the devs are using to build ICS?
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
We could start with the D3 port, and update it and go from there, but after talking with Hashcode, I was reluctant to work on it because I am not 100% familiar with how Safestrap works. Unfortunately, I rely HEAVILY on my phone for my school and work, and if I accidentally brick it, I am in big trouble.
