Moto Stock Experience - Motorola Droid 3

After removing all of the VZW preinstalled apps, and most of the Moto stock software, there was only one thing left: "Backup Assistant".
I removed Backup Assistant, Backup Assistant Client and Sync Service APK's. Backup Assistant entry in Settings was gone, I associated my contacts with Google account, but there is one thing left. As you can see in screenshots bellow, my contacts app is still showing a "placeholder" for Backup Assistant" in all the menus. I tried replacing the contacts apk with odexed and deodexed version of the same one from different firmwares (used both XT860 and 883 versions) and it's a NO GO. Those versions just wont work. (the FM Radio and Phone Portal from these FW's work flawlessly).
I could use 3-rd party contacts/dialer app, but the thing is - I am trying to have full stock experience without useless VZW crap.
I am on rooted stock .906, and could really use some help/guide on this.

You would be better trying to run a custom ROM like Maverick. It is stock 906 without the bloat.

I have already tried a couple of ROMs,but the thing is,I'm trying to keep the stock FW and all the features (and bugs) of it.Also,I have found another VZW entry in settings>location settings...any way to get that one also.

Hi Bedara!
I'm on the shame opinion. I don't like custom roms, because all of them has a skin that I don't like. And as I know, it's neccesarry to keep SafeStrap on my phone, wich is a security gap when I lost my phone or stolen.
I removed all the Motorola and Vzw bloat, and now, my stock rom as fast as any custom ROM I think.
But I have problem with Facebook sync. And I think this is because there is a modified Account and sync .apk in our phones. (I found that other stock Blur Droid rom users can't use facebook sync)
You can see the differences if go to Accounts and click 'add account' on the stock rom. Compare it to any 3th party rom like Eclipse for example. And I think the whole Settings.apk is a Motorola modified one. I tried to replace with no success:
See my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30869715&postcount=138
I'm in the dark but I think:
- there is dependencies between the APK-s. For example if you remove Setup.apk, the whole settings menu don't work. However the settings.apk doesn't need Setup.apk in Eclipse rom. But the motorola's settings.apk needs the setup.apk. The account specific things is in setup.apk (Install System Panel lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel and you can read the activity's names. When I go to settings->accounts, I can see that the corresponding activity is: com.motorola.blur.setup wich is Setup.apk)
I found a complete lists of which apk corresponds to wich activity names: http://pastebin.com/awWwmqZ5
- I readed it somwhere that it's neccesarry sometimes to sign apk-s together at one time
- and I found apks in: blur-res.apk, moto-res.apk and framework-res.apk. Maybe it's neccesarry to replace this apk-s to ones that non-modified by motorola.
- motorola modified a lot of apk-s. That's the reason we cant' replace apk-s one-by one. I think applications shares resources from each other but original progams can't call blurized programs and vica versa.
It's neccesarry to determine wich programs uses wich progam's resources and replace all of them together with a non-motorola ones. But I don't know how to find that.

Absolutely agree, I love the stock icons that are like the faenza icon theme. also I like the apps like tasks list and so on. these things are missing in vanilla android.
Although, I removed more than only bloat and don't see that placeholder, also there is no "Add account" option. Maybe you should remove more.

As I can see,we share opinions regarding custom roms.On the other hand,I have been researching a bit,and it seams that vzw (xt860) and xt860 and 883 have most of the apk's compatible,except for some system related ones.Now,what can we do,is to try and find right combo.I'm gonna try to mix and match deodexed apk's from xt862 and xt860 (since xt860 doesn't have vzw branding) and maybe (if I'm lucky) get the right ones.I could use deodexed system dump of xt883,if anyone has a link please post.

I've just answered my question:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Speed_up_building
(search for hotboot)

Mavrom has about 20 different themes, gotta be one you like. Can't see any reason to prefer stock over a rom like mavrom. It's not drastically different but it adds a lot of features

Stock or custom...I think it's just a state of mind...moto blur, or what ever they call it these days is actually not that bad, but provider customizations...you just gotta hate them,and when it comes to VZW,they go so deep I wouldn't be surprised if some day they came up with there own OS just to f**k us up.
Regarding this topic, I think there is a working port of XT860 for Droid 3...at least I think...not sure.I'm gonna search the threads to try and find it...

Have you checked out steel droid? The older gb one, is very close to stock with bloat removed and a few tweaks for batt/performance.

Found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484505), and I am just downloading xt883 system dump from some Chinese server, and it's slooooooow. As soon as download finishes I'm gonna try 883's dialer and phone apk's (the xt862's didn't work).

Thak you! I didn't know that. Just seen these black, pink and Comic Sans like designs and forget MavRom immediately But I give it a try tomorrow. (By the way I know, that I can customize any theme myself by opening apk's and edit it's resources. But it takes time and lot of work.)
But there is another view: I need a rom that can working without recovery bootmenu for security reason. (paranoia) Please see my question in the SafeStrap thread.
Thank you guys, I keep my eyes on this topic!

You can use regular bootstrap, then delete after flashing. That would leave you with no custom recovery, but no one could flash zips

Here is bootstrap http://db.tt/Urhire5k
I would recommend sbf to stock to prevent any conflict with safestrap, the backups aren't compatible, but if you flash the same rom as what you are using now you could use tibu for system and user apps and data.

Hi Endoroid!
"You can use regular bootstrap, then delete after flashing"
I waited for a confirmation exactly above. Thank you!
Backup doesn't important for me. I can resync my contacts and calendar with MyPhoneExplorer and that is the point.
Thanks for the suggestions!

You can also use tibu to schedule app backups straight to your dropbox. You can backup the system apps too, so long as your restore to the same rom. On case anything happens you have everything in the cloud, and db apparently just started 2 step verification, which should appeal to your security paranoia

Yes, As I suggested above, these are bloatwares that I think no one wants them in the ROM. (can be installed later if they want to)..
1. ( anoying notification of Your simcard is from Unknown Source.)
2. Backup Assistant Plus and its plugins (Even not working with non-US device, and very annoying)
3. Acoustic Warning ( just a warning that your ears can be damaged when you increase volume more than 60% (!) )
4.Emergency Alert
5. Moto Chinese input ( there are tons of chinese keyboard outside and much better ), Moto Smart handwriting, Moto Stroke ( chinese too )
6. My Verizon Mobile
7. Verizon Login
8. Verizon Remote Gianogstic
9. Video Calling ( just a shortcut to the market to download 2 other spam software Vooodo and Tango )
10. Swiftkey flow (beta) is good but I think the one love it has already bought it and will install again from Store with their pre-setting. The one who don't like it like me will remove it anyway.
11. Music FX and Audio Effect is duplicate functions. and both of them I feel not as good as "Awesome BEAT" 2.0 Plugin from "Pimpmyride" ( I attached it to the post ). Just flash and test the result, you will be surprised.
12. Change the Database setting of ettilement from 1 to 0 so freedom the Mobile Hotspot without activating from Verizon ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059890 )
13. Future developement can be inspired by no NAVBAR function which gonna be awesome.
14. The annoying GAPP FC, as I can see it can be fixed with the GAPP packs from CM10, you can try and test it out too.
15. Verizon Location Service from Location Setting, As far as I can see, this function drain the battery and not working outside US too.
And again , Thanks for the awesome work you have done, this is the best Christmas gift, ever...
As long as stable build released. I would love to contribute donation if you provide the paypal link on the topic .
Dave.

			
			
			
			



			
			
			
			
			
			
			

			
		

	
		

			
[ROM] Google Edition 4.3 [Clean][Deodex][276MB][2013.11.21]
			
			
			
				
This ROM is more or less a debloated stock GE 4.3. It will work on the i9505 (international), i9505g (Google Play Edition), i337 (AT&T), i337m (Canada), and m919 (T-Mobile).
Features
Deodexed
Zip-aligned
Rooted
Auto-loki (For AT&T I337 only)
Removed all apps available in the Play Store except for Google Keyboard
Removed some Samsung bloat
Reboot menu
Play Store 4.4.21
Google Wallet works out-of-the-box
Mobeam (Omnibeam & Beepn'Go) works out-of-the-box
Notes
This ROM uses a Sprint (L720) branded build.prop to make more apps available from the Play Store (Mobeam, Wallet, WatchON). You can keep it as is but if you want to update your custom recovery through GooManager, don't forget to flash the linked build.prop for your phone first!
I had some trouble with SIM unlocking but a reboot fixed it.

You could always make a separate efs backup through twrp and try to restore it after you flash it but because this ROM is based off the L720 chances are its not going to work

Hello
Hey,
What ROM would you recommend for a 4.2.2 MF3 At&t Galaxy S4 SGH-I337?
I've been using the ROM found in here.
I am new to the rooted world.
It's the first ROM I tried and I love it.
I can go a whole day with, at most, losing 25% battery life.
I love the minimalist aspects of it.
I don't know how to keep track of new ROMs for my build though.
I don't really want to change ROMs at the moment, because I have everything I need with this one,
but if you can give me some cool advice, that would be awesome.
Any help, information, would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for this.

MIUI General FAQ
Q: How do I root this?
A: Enable root in the perm manager, which can be found in the security folder.
Q: Why is G-Apps not listed for Download?
A: Too Bloaty, add a Google account and install the play store as an APK, I suggest using Aptoide to find it.
Q: 4G LTE isn't working
A: Load the Phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, goto Phone information, Set preferred network type to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).
Q: Help! Phone/SystemUI/Keyboard Isn't working/Is Force Closing!
A: Make sure to do a completely clean wipe, also I'm not sure how well this will work if flashed in CWM.
Q: The Browser looks terrible.
A: Settings -> Advanced -> User agent string -> MiOne (It Renders much better & more naturally!)
Q: My Filesystems won't mount/My PC can't see my device/My phone won't act as a MTP/USB Mounting isn't working!
A: Settings -> Developer Options -> Enable Development / USB Debugging (switch both to on)

Look at the 'permissions' icon in the security app, turn on the root switch.
The thing is the chinese apps are part of the rom, they're not .apks you can just delete and expect things to function well, It is a chinese firmware localized for english users

It'll be fixed in the next version-up.
If you notice when opening a folder or using the task manager everything in the background goes black; It's not supposed to be like that, I only released this as a preview for folks who have never used MIUI and it is technically stable with 2-3 minor annoyances

You must be referring to my alpha test builds that I did before I acquired an unlocked RAZR M to test on. I've been known elsewhere on the web as moparman371 lol. So yes...this is my same base but many many changes for the better. Data wipe may not be 100% necessary but I've written the updater script to do the task. It won't touch internal storage or your sdcard. I promise...

I do it that way because of the users out there that like to come from 4.2, 4.3, even 4.4 ROMs without wiping, then clutter up the threads with their so called bugs lol.
You've been around this scene long enough to know what I mean... lol
Delete the following lines from my updater-script and it will flash without wiping:
delete_recursive("/data/anr");
delete_recursive("/data/app");
delete_recursive("/data/app-asec");
delete_recursive("/data/app-lib");
delete_recursive("/data/app-private");
delete_recursive("/data/audio");
delete_recursive("/data/backup");
delete_recursive("/data/data");
delete_recursive("/data/diag_mdlog");
delete_recursive("/data/dontpanic");
delete_recursive("/data/drm");

delete_recursive("/data/fota");
delete_recursive("/data/hostapd");
delete_recursive("/data/kernelpanics");
delete_recursive("/data/local");
delete_recursive("/data/logger");
delete_recursive("/data/lost+found");
delete_recursive("/data/misc");
delete_recursive("/data/power_supply_logger");
delete_recursive("/data/property");
delete_recursive("/data/resource-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/shared");

delete_recursive("/data/time");
delete_recursive("/data/tombstones");
delete_recursive("/data/tpapi");
delete_recursive("/data/user");
delete_recursive("/data/vbox");
delete_recursive("/data/zipalign.db");
That's lines 22 thru 53 but leave line 29...delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
Hope this helps

			
				
Tried the rom with SafeStrap 3.12, and it is running. But I keep getting forecloses on google apps. Tried to go back to stock and can't get back into SafeStrap. Kinda stuck at the moment. Going to keep trying for the next hour. If all else fails, RSD back, then reroot and try the whole thing over again.

All I can say is wow... I've been trying all sorts of ROMs looking for smoothness.
And now I found it in one based on the stock rom. Impressive!
Let's see if phone's snapiness holds on with time.
Also, I was impressed to finally see photosphere working outside a nexus phone, I've tried many times without results.
However... It doesn't really work. How can I explain... it's like the aceleration sensores are not giving real time information to the photosphere app, it's just so Sloooooooooow to orientate with the dots to take the various pictures.
Any ideas? I'd absolutely love to have photosphere working as I love the insane pictures I used to take with my galaxy nexus

Can it be the M doesn't have a gyroscope? =X
I thought it was standard on all modern phones

			
				
Yeah I could have answered that one myself by looking up the specs of the phone... sadly it doesn't have gyro =\ pity
I really really like the pictures that come out of photosphere!
Carrying on.
I'm loving the rom but not the dark themed apps that come with it.
I read what you replied to someone about just uninstalling them and getting the ones out of the playstore.
How can I do that with the playstore app itself though?
Install a set of gapps?
Which one?
Will that somehow make the system slower? Because I'm really enjoying the smootheness of it all
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance ^^

[SOLVED]Requesting help Upgrading from Jellybean 4.3 to Kit Kat 4.4
			
			
			
				
Original Post:
Heya everyone!
I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.
I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.
Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-root-at-galaxy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.
Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!
P. S. Would this thread help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357
Both mrkhigh's and 440bro's posts were insanely useful. Take the time to read carl1961's guide as well. Scroll down to the nc2 files section. The same steps are also included there as well as the same files you can use. Scroll a bit further down and you'll see screenshots(in hidden tags) of the files loaded correctly into Odin. There are several setups so use the one you need.
Thanks to everyone who contributed!

			
				
Hi @Crxssroad
Try this:
[First keep your note as you have it]
-Extract your CHIP or SIM, and your SD Card.
-Install a CUSTOM RECOVERY [could be TWRP or ClockworkMod] (This will keep your root or better upgrade your root)
-Download and install via custom recovery the @temasek rom CM13 (Android MM.) or any other CM11, CM12 build @temasek CM13 link: [HLTE/TMO/SPR][ROM][CM13][6.0.1_r30] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build v9.3]
MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR PHONE ITS SUPPORTED BY THIS ROMS (This also will keep your phone root)
-if you want update only the kernel, there is a lot of threads about many kernel variants for diferent versions of performance
[TIP: if you upgrade your KERNEL regardless if you install a new clean ROM or you just update your kernel always make a WIPE CACHE DALVIK, then when you boot in your main system install Antutu Benchmark from google play or aptoide, and run it and click test, then if you phone reboot during the test change the kernel, and then make another wipe cache dalvik, run the test of Antutu Benchmak. Make shure that you are runing a kernel that does not make your phone reboot by itself]
(Useful kernels and mini kernel guide here: [kernel] [lp] [most-roms] [all-qcom] idleKernel, a leanKernel fork (7.1.0) by @jcadduono )
Then put your SIM on, and reboot your phone, you would be able to play Pokemon Go, I ran Pokemon Go on my GlaxyS4Mini (GT-l9195) and in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8)
Hope this help you ::good:
(I'm sorry if my grammar its bad, I did not use to write or talk in inglish )

			
				
Easy
If you have "xposed" just search for "wanam xposed" install it , and apply it , reboot.
Open wanam click security or security change (before the last one ) mark the third option , reboot
Go to settings , OTA updates , update and done .
Hope this helpful.

I just got to thinking.
You only want KitKat.
The second post is useless in this thread it does not pertain to note 3 att.
You should do this:
Download the nc2 Odin files,
And flash a clean 4.4.2 install using odin then install towelroot for root, then busybox then safestrap. Then install app quarantine, then freeze all Knox apps and art updater.
I'll post the URL in a second

Yes, what you described is all I'm hoping to achieve so if this will work, thank you a million times. I'm just having one issue with the thread you linked. When you say "all-in-one" I assume you're referring to this:
If so, the link leads to a page that cannot be found. :/ Is there any other place I could get the files?
EDIT: Actually, after looking above, there are some mediafire links that seem to be working. Are these the same files I need? If so, do I need to download all 5 individual files? If this is the case, I have no issue. I just want to be 100% certain.
EDIT2: Assuming I can go through with this, is there anything I need to backup? I have most important things in a cloud server so all I need to do is get my pictures. I have some in internal memory and some in my sd card. Any that might be deleted?
EDIT3: This person gave me a link to the files I need! So I'm going to be downloading these and I'll go through with the update as soon as I'm able to.
EDIT: 4 Updated! EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE! Thank you thank you and many thanks unto you and all your descendants to come.

			
				
When I did it I had to factory reset to boot for some reason so I would back everything up prior to doing it.
I downloaded that all in one file last week so I'm sure on that page somewhere a working file exists

When I did it I had to factory reset to boot for some reason so I would back everything up prior to doing it.
I downloaded that all in one file last week so I'm sure on that page somewhere a working file exists

Thanks! I got everything to work just fine using the files from the other guy, but I followed your steps(which were the same as his save for installing busy box, safe strap and app quarantine).
Any other tips you can give me? I'm going to create a backup using safestrap as soon as I'm done installing all my essential apps but not sure if there's anything else I should be doing to save myself from any future possible f-ups.

			
				
Follow the guide for tethering... and maybe install xposed. Honestly thats all I did other than some debloating done via app quarantine.
