Just wanted to drop a quick note and give many thanks to all of those that are working to make a stable ROM for the Droid 3 possible.
I was using CM on my Droid 1 and was hooked after that, but due to instabilities in CM9 and my Droid 3, I've had to begrudgingly revert back to stock for now. It's my daily driver, and I need it to be stable for work purposes. I'm hoping that a good stable ROM comes out soon.
Thanks again, guys..

Just chiming in with a "Me too". I'm running the 8/6 kexec build and like it a lot. I tried switching back to stock for a little while last night and the phone felt much more sluggish and was generally less pleasant to use and was a lot less pleasing ascetically, so...
Thanks Guys!!
:good:
Also running the 8/6 Kexec Alpha 4. Other than the bugs I posted this morning I'm loving it.
I'm mostly posting here to help get up to 10 posts. I hate not being able to post relevant info to the Kexec Thread.
I'm fairly new to this, but amazed at all the hard work the dev's put into this for the greater good! There's not much I can do but say "THANK YOU" along with the rest of you! :laugh:

I just put serendipity 6 on my buddys captivate. I don't know anything about the development for this phone so I kinda had to wing it to pick which rom to put on. He was on eclair . He loves it the new.but my question is, any reason to put serendipity 7 on it instead or any other ROM for that matter? I want to give him the best stability and battery with customization. Any help is.appreciated
I do have to say this was a fun phone to mess around with for the first time

Sorry, there is no quick answer. ROM selection is a personal preference thing.
However there is a thread on xda comparing roms battery performance. If I remember correctly serendipity was among the top. Fasty was up there too.
I'll look for the link when I get home and edit my post.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to leave him with something that it's stable and if serendipity I'd up there.my job is done.thanks man

I found the thread I had mentioned, but it's old. It has been almost a year since there were any constructive posts. It was full of squabbling, so I won't bring it back to life by posting a link to it. Too bad though, cause the guy who started it had good intentions.
Probably best to let this thread die also. Battery / performance comparison threads seem to get ugly after a while.

this phone is almost three + years old. so many ppl have moved to newer versions. those who still has this phone are moved on to ICS (Ice cream Sand-witch (4.0.4) based ROMs. ICS is fast, stable and good on battery as well.
that's why there is no action on GB based ROMS.
I am on Slim ICS and highly recommend it.
until they get the encryption unsuccessful bug worked out that is a pretty good reason to recommend staying with the gingerbread roms
i suggest you go with gingerbread because it was tested that it has a better battery performance plus the graphics drivers upgraded.
Legend 4 is the most active GB ROM with current and helpful developers still active. I run it with no problems.

I'll second that!
Hi Giveen,
first of all I must say I'm highly impressed with the progresses you made over the last months! I daily read your dev news on XDA and tabletroms. I'm no dev and honestly have no idea about all this stuff, but I could see how hard your way was so far. I know there were times you wanted to give up. But you didn't!! THANK YOU so much for all your efforts. You are definitly the DS7 hero!
Also I certainly want to say thanks to all the other guys that help(ed) to get our DS7 to jellybean. This old little tablet is far from being old and dead.:highfive:
But I want to ask two little questions:
1. My streak is actually running the HC 514 mod (rooted). To flash the CM10.1 beta, do I have to go back to 2.2 first? Would be no problem, wouldn't be the first time to flash back to go forward
2. I thougt I read somtime ago that there might never be a working camera on jellybean for our tablets because of missing drivers. Now I read in your thread, that you are working on camera, which sounds very promising in my ears. As I use my DS7 to skype with my family from time to time, I would kindly ask how you estimate the chances to get cams running?
Would be nice if you could take the time to answer my questions.
Thank you!
1. Flash the NVFlash pack and you will be fine.
2. No guarentees.
I would like to see the camera working as well. It's one of the things I use on any mobile device.
I didn't want to post this in the development thread because this was more of a question than anything else and I'm a firm believer of keeping things where they belong in the forums. I was looking at Hashcode's CM10.1 ROM for the Bionic and from what I can tell it is fairly stable. My Dad asked me to look into finding something that would give him a more stable experience with better battery life on his bionic. I think that stressing more battery life is the key here. Currently, he is running stock 4.0.4 and says it drives him crazy how frequently he has to recharge his phone. Having had the VZW Galaxy Nexus before, I understand his woes but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going down a bad path by rooting his device at all.
Basically, with the parts from above taken into consideration, what would be the best option in terms of a ROM or kernel for this device?
I highly appreciate everyone's feedback.

In previous versions, Eclipse was extremely good. However, I am not too sure about it now, as I use Blurrymaxx.
I've flashed everything I could DL and Eclipse 1.3 is, hands down, the best daily driver with all things considered. The CM10.1 nightlies are getting better pretty quickly but BT audio still has problems and the graphics are twitchy.
If your pops really wants to enjoy his phone I would highly recommend dropping the ~$40 to get a OEM extended battery/cover. It was a bit bulky/awkward for me at first but it keeps me from having to pack around a charger.

Thanks for the replies, all. I will look into the ROMs you mentioned. I would tell him to get the OEM extended battery/cover but he is one of those people that likes to have it clipped to his hip all of the time and he has it in an otterbox case which works with the clip. Does Eclipse or BlurryMaxxx get particularly good battery life because that seems to be his number one concern. I wrote a review/coverage of the UNPACKED conference and the Galaxy S4 on my website the other day and he read it so now all he can think about is upgrading to the S4 so maybe that's the route we'll be taking haha
Got a quick question, I want to start over with he pad since my last install.
Which version however is the most stable, quickest with least battery drain?
At the moment I am running jscullins cm preview version, everything working as t should Ubuntu touch, will get rid of that, its fun but not stable, thanks for bringing ubunt touch to hp
Thanks for you input

Brave question to ask here. I wish you luck with the oncoming responses
I am personally enjoying cm10.1 ATM i recently upgraded from cm9 and although the differences are not huge, i do find cm10.1 to have much better battery life and is also running vey stable. Both have been JCs builds.
Personally, I had been running the jcsullins cm10 build for a long time (which was very stable and snappy) and just recently switched to the cm10.2 build. Results so far have been a-ok. The only "problem" I've had is bluetooth not working, but I guess that is a known issue we just have to wait for. At this point, I don't see myself going back unless something major pops up.
That is really subjective and changes from user to user.
You should try for yourself and find the one that suit you better.
Thank you and thread closed.
I have an Atrix HD, rooted, with unlocked JB bootloader, and I've also done the MAXX battery MOD. I haven't had this phone long and it seems to be a bit laggy, and a battery hog on the stock firmware. I am not partial to JB or KK so I am pretty open to suggestions. All I am looking for is SPEED, STABILITY, and BATTERY LIFE, and of course the LEAST amount of bugs possible. TY all in advance! :good:
ROM recommendation posts are a dime a dozen around here, and the answer is always the same: figure it out for yourself by browsing the development forums for your phone, and flash the one that fits what you want.
Thanks

Thanks but thats what I've been doing for the past almost 2 weeks now. I only asked because there is ALOT of developement already for this device and it looks like EVERYTHING is buggy as Hell so far so I was really looking for a USEFUL suggestion. But thanks a bunch.

No, not everything is buggy as hell. The majority of them run just fine and are good enough for daily drivers. If you installed one, you'd see for yourself.
I understand that you want a perfect ROM but there isn't one. You've gotta take what minimal bad there is with the good. Even stock ROMs have bugs.
The best advice is to flash a ROM that sounds good and see if you like it. Hell, that's half the fun!
Thanks Dr. Orange

I understand what you are saying, and I have been checking them out, I'm on CM11 now, and have tried Holoblur, and a couple others. I've went through this with literally 13 devices now so I'm not new to this. I was simply asking the community for the best ones that they have used from their experience. I have asked this question on XDA about all of my other devices and normally people respond with just what I said before. Its just a lot easier when I can narrow it down between a handful of ROMs that are DD material.
What has been your favorite so far Doc?
Ah yes! Had to make sure you weren't just asking for the best instead of researching for yourself! I guess I could've been a little more helpful from the beginning...
My most important feature is pie controls, second is tied with customizing options and battery, So right now, carbonROM is perfect for me. I'm running the 8/04 jbbl build and it works great.
I have the MAXX battery mod so battery isn't as important, but I still want it to last all day.
Team Gummy works well too. The only build for our jbbl phone that works is the April build 2.0. It's light and battery life is good too. Also has pie, not as many customizable options.
Those are my KitKat choices, I'm not sure of the 4.3 Roms other than the last time I had a 4.3 PAC ROM installed it worked really well with excellent battery life. 4.3 Roms are arguably the most refined, but development has shifted towards KitKat obv.
That's pretty much all I know.
Awesome!

That my friend is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for the input... I will definitely try your recommendations next. I also did the MAXX MOD on mine the other day with the EB40 battery and cutting of the inner frame, but just like you I definitely want it to be able to last all day. Lol, I know there is no perfect ROM, I just didn't wanna be crack flashing for the next couple months with as many nice sounding ROMs there are for this phone. Either way, your info is extremely appreciated, and thanks for the heads up on Gummy. I typically look at a ROM's OP first to look at the features then look through the last couple pages to see if and what issues it may have. It just got frustrating bc MOST posts end with people all talking about their damn RAZR's in the wrong forum lol. So thank you very much Doc.

4.3.1 unified build from 1 Feb 14 works well and has decent battery life with the battery mod, best battery life i have seen so far was on ATT's stock pre-heartbleed fix revision.
Thank you very much as well palm beach. I'm on Gummy 2.0 now (the one that works) that the doc suggested and I love it aside from some random systemui force closes so I think I will try your suggestion next lol.
