I've been running Liberty 2.0 on my D3 for quite a while now. Starting to get jealous of everyone who's one or even two builds up on me.
I looked into what ROMs were available for the D3 for ICS, specifically because some of the custom apps I use are not compatible with JB yet. I found HashCode's CM9 build and his AOKP build (which could be the same thing, and I just don't understand.
I also posted once before where someone recommended Gummy for the Droid 3, but I could never nail down which version was the most up-to-date and was working the best. I learned that they stopped working on the Gummy ROM over the summer, but if they had a working build, I would love to try it out.
All I am looking for is the most complete build of ICS on the Droid 3. I use this phone as my primary device, so I would like to be able to use the camera, internet, data, etc.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to recommend what you use/have used.

There is no 100% working ICS rom as of now, but with Kexec they have a custom kernel booting and building from there. I would settle into a GB rom for stability/everyday use and have either an ICS or JB rom just to test. You can check the development forum for the current active CM9/CM10/AOKP by Hashcode, the latest CM10 (Jelly Bean) Kexec rom only seems to have a sleep issue and no camera, everything else seems fine so far. Safe Strap 3.05 lets you have up to 5 bootable systems without swapping nandroid backups; Stock + 4 custom rom slots.
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/ Here is Hash's website about safestrap and to download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804665 Here is the thread about Hash's current work on Kexec and available roms. Read up some of the last ~20 pages for current rom and information on it, just make sure to learn the new safestrap before playing around.
As for other roms; The Gummy team split up as I recall, no more Gummy roms...
Personal main usage; I use Maverick ROM 4.0, good battery, good tweaks, looks nice.. version 4.5 has overclock, but a bug in it causes battery drain so stick with 4.0.

Whats the best rom available right now for the N1? I haven't tested my N1 with anything in a while been running MIUI but I'm finding it to be sort of laggy now with apps installed.
Fastest? Hmm, pretty much any CM7 self-kang.
This one by samuaz is really fast: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416894
Is that the most stable rom available for nexus one right now?
with multiple full wipes to include system both are stable for me
with ICS by samuaz you need to follow op page exactly
Temaseks latest CM7 Kang with scroll zip is BLAZING
I use now ICS by samuaz, it's fast and really stable. But it's an alpha version!
When you think it's important to have a stable rom, then
use CM7. CM7 roms are as stable as stock, but better ;-)
worth upgrading to ICS or JB?
hello. I realize this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I am thinking to bring back my Nexus One from the grave so I can have a backup phone for my daughter to play with in the car/plane. I wanted to ask if it is worth installing ICS or JB ROMs that are out there. I just have the stock ROM in there now and I always struggled with low memory and lag with some newer apps, that's why I've upgraded phones (I've have a Galaxy Nexus now).
I don't have intentions to put a SIM card in there, so I don't really care about phone call features.. only purely from a processing and lightweight standpoint.
Has anybody played enough with GB vs ICS and/or JB and weighed if it's worth upgrading? I'm assuming that it's worth it because so many developers still have Nexus One ROMs... that's why I would just go ahead and install it, but then I'm thinking again if it's just going to bog down the phone if I'm going to only use it for simple games.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! I have installed the CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.0 that is based on CyanogenMod and Evervolv, and works fine for me. I also have installed all the /data partition in the SD card with the A2SD script that is incorporated in the ROM... it generates some few lags, but I didn't have had any problem of lack of space again.
In my opinion, this is the ROM of JB that best preserves the native Android interface, and in my case is stable (until 7 days without to require a reboot!).
Other JB ROMs that users frequently use are PARANOIDANDROID and PixelDroid.
Thanks for the quick response! That is the ROM I was thinking of as well. However, just as a comparison, I'm thinking to flash a clean version of GB back onto the phone as well. Any recommendations on any GB ROMs as well? Thanks!

Sorry, but I can't help on it. I didn't install any GB ROM further than the stock ROM. In my opinion, I think that a stable, complete and functional ROM might be CyanogenMod 7.2. Maybe other XDA members can help you better on it...

No problem. I'll probably end up trying both out. Thanks again for the response. By the way, what do you use your N1 for now or is that you main phone? I was playing around with it yesterday and I still like it a lot - I always liked the trackball.

This is my main phone. In several times I though changing to other new Nexus device, but the screen size of new devices is too big for me! I like a screen size from 3.7 to 4.0, that is good to read mails, a brief navigation in the Internet, and other minor issues. For other intensive uses, I have my tablet Nexus 10 or my laptop.
I really want ICS on my Droid and wondering which one I should put on it? Thanks in advance.
If you aren't using it as your daily driver i would suggest using kfazz's JellyBean rom. It has some stuff that still needs to be worked out but it is a good build that i have had fun experimenting with. (And showing off to all my friends.) If you read his thread you will see that all the major stuff is working with only a few minor glitches here or there. They have even confirmed that 3G data and calls work!
Just my 2 cents.

I think there's only one ICS ROM for (CDMA) Droid and it is kfazz's experimental ICS one. I don't know about the one(s) for GSM Milestone though.
My old droid 1 could barely manage gingerbread. Good luck with ice cream sandwich.
-CM7 on DInc2
I use my Droid as a daily phone. Kfazz ics builds are pretty good. As long as you don't have too many apps its fine. JB builds are okay too.
I use a mix of those Android backups.
In addition I use liquid smooth gingerbread which seems better than cm6 and cm7 on my phone. I am able to multitask several apps. Example...I can use navigation and Facebook or other apps. It is also fast.

READ FIRST
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! DO NOT USE THIS KERNEL IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Built from sch-i535 (yes, i535) 4.1 Jellybean source. This is for testing only.

Confirmed this kernel works. injected into a S3 SynergyROM jb 4.1 build and it boots right up. Obviously, since it's a S3 build, it's rather unusable. If anyone else with a 705 wants to get a JB port going please, by all means, feel free to use this!
any reason why this wouldn't work with one of the other wifi gtab2 rom's to make them work on the vz gtab2's?
The wifi tabs are completely different than the vzw tabs. The i705's closest relative is the i535 (vzw galaxy s3). It just wouldn't be very easy at all.. if it's even possible.
Looking for the latest version of Hash's CM9 NON KEXEC rom. I had been running this for a year with no trouble. Decided I wanted to play around again and updated to the new safestrap and loaded JB kexec and it's just not stable enough, sleep issues won't work for DD, and gingerbread sucks. Now I can't find my .zip file and don't see it posted anywhere. The non kexec ICS builds were solid, and the camera worked decent. I want to go back. Does anyone have it?
maybe this is useful for you?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465297
Nope. That is for the xt860. I know someone has hashcodes non kexec ics roms, if they could just send me a dropbox link or something it would be awesome. Right now I'm using steel droid ics but it seems to have more issues than the hashcode cm9 ics rom I ran for a year.

Actually that would work you would just have to use the 862 data files from Steel Droid probably.
Let's see if this can be helpful.
I was looking for a good ICS, with camera working, so let's give it a try.
I really need the camera, so that's why I didn't even tried the JB.
Thanks for the link, sm4rty!
you're in luck!
had to hook up the old dev box but found this file, enjoy!
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20441294/cm9-droid3-20120101-1600.zip
Found this while I was cleaning up my SD card. Not sure if it's KEXEC or not. It wasn't labeled. I have a feeling it isn't.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/08eyaqskj5041zy/cm9-droid3-20120316-0330.zip
EDIT: Installed it to make sure. It is non-KEXEC.
I see alot of Tocuhpad Dev threads and I just pulled my TP out of storage.
Its running Cyanogen Mod 4.0.4 (System settings says Cyanogen Mod Version 9-20120930 Nightly tenderloin)
Build date Sun Sept 30th 2012
I have CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
moboot 0.3.5
As you can see its very outdated.
What should I be running now if I am looking for daily reliability with most features working? Thanks for your input (If there is a newer guide I can follow to update from my current version to a new one please post it, thank you)
I would suggest that you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147284.
It is an excellent guide with video tutorials if necessary. Roland has also posted an additional guide of the newer more experimental Roms also in Touchpad Development forum.
Hopefully they will help you make a decision based on what you need to use your tablet for ie Bluetooth/gaming etc.
Have fun there have been lots of improvements since you last used it.

Just read the first page, then try a couple of different ROMs at the very least you can see all the different variations available and the requirements needed to install them(Partition size.
If you then have a specific question having tried the above it will probably be a lot easier to help you.
Personally, I would go with milaq's last Jelly Bean 4.2.2 rom cm10.1
The next step is 4.3 - read need for resizing of /system, and/or /data partitions - or 4.4 (Kitkat), which is still very much experimental/developmental.
Milaq's 10.1 Jelly Bean roms are very stable and good for daily use.
Just my opinion!
Peace
Thanks, I actually went the opposite way and did the test version of 4.4 to see how it is
It appears you are already partitioned to run the newest ROMs, but if you or others want to try at least a 10.1 ROM (Android 4.2.2) without having to increase partition size, OaT's Light n Tasty (LnT) is very stable and except for the lack of bluetooth plaguing a number of the post-CM9 ROMs the ROM is very solid. He somehow lightens the ROM and the GAPPs so it runs in the pre-CM10 partitions. I am leery of going all the way back to webOS, removing Android, doctoring and changing partitions, and then starting over. At some point I am sure I will, especially if a really solid KitKat ROM is released with bluetooth.
Many people have stayed on CM9 btw, as they find CM9 the most dependable.
Here's a link to the XDA discussion on OaT LnT. Note his OP has an older version of his ROM... if you scroll towards the end he includes a link to an October 8 version he has been using recently. Make sure to also use the GAPPs he includes in the OP, since it is lightened as well. He leaves off a few things... like calendar and browser, since so many people can and do use ones downloaded from Play Store (is. I use aCalendar and Next browser).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332510
CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) doesn't require repatitioning, its the newer 10.2/4.3 and Kitkat 4.4 that require/advise a larger /system partition.
I actually went back to ICS from 10.1 thinking it had been better, but tbh the experience wasn't what I remembered and I very quickly went back to 10.1 (via Kitkat, briefly, but too buggy for me atm). Battery life, responsiveness and stability were all better, for me, with 10.1 (spceifically milaq's roms).
Having said that, its worth giving yourself a bigger /system partition - 5 or 600mb - and trying out the latest kitkat builds, there's lots of promise there!
I will definitely be going back once certain bugs and issues are ironed out...
Peace
