Droid 3 source code

Motorola just released the source code for the Droid 3 on Sourceforge.
Source code

I was just going to start a thread on this edgan

Pardon my French but...
**** YEAH!

So does source mean we just don't have to find an exploit, and can create compatible, rootable ROMs without cracking the official one? Or does it mean we can get root, too?

It means neither. You'd still need signed keys to flash anything created from the released source code.
However, if there are any exploits, having the source might assist in finding them.

Hell yes!

Quite an interesting move by Motorola, wonder what their motivation was.

Every single Android device must have the source code released. It's part of the AOSP license, these companies can't use Android without releasing this code.

Yay!

Yeah I heard that the source code wont help much either.
BUT(not related to this)
I think we have a bigger chance of getting an official sbf now. Reason being is that there is an update that is being pushed to test and dev devices (I think it's 5.6.960 or something), hopefully somewhere between this road a moto employee or tester can give back to the community haha

So a few things of note, and I wanted to articulate this right, those of you in the IRC have heard this rambling.
1) Watchdog. Do NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to kill a Kernel process. That's another sure-fire way to trip the eFuse, and brick your phone, save you have a SMD compatible JTAG for the FPGA. (If that last part went over your head, DEFINITELY do not attempt)
2) Kernel file "pause_on_oops". If a kernel module is improperly loaded, modified, or unloaded, it will cause a lot of wonky stuff to happen in the kernel. On any kernel panic, the kernel halts instead of dropping to a debugger. It also sets a few flags that stop the kernel from booting, and that in turn sets more flags that stop booting, ad nauseum.
This still leaves bugs and stuff to explore. Race conditions, buffer overflows and the likes are still likely targets.

@royolpunk
Have to agree on that, i'm not too fussed tbo but i'd like to fix the blue camera tint.

I second this. Thank you, devs. I am in my undergrad program for IT/web development, so I am not completely dumb when it comes to IT/programming, but you guys make me feel like a dumb ass! I commend you for your efforts as well as your massive brains!

Obviously, having source code once we root will be of enormous help in developing quality kernels and ROMs (like cyanogenmod!), but won't help rooting right now. All the doors are locked, but now we know who lives inside
So speaking of race conditions, is there any point to exploring the bootloader-to-recovery race condition (via messing with the sdcard slot) that allowed the Droid Incredible to be root (even before Unrevoked figured out a general HTC exploit kit), or are we talking apples to oranges?

Please don't say that. The user set up multiple accounts without Melvin s permission and started thanking Melvin on those accounts. Melvin did not approve of that.

I guess he also cloned Melvins IP address
Think not!
Not to mention the kanging!
Yes it's a fact, he Kanged
Case Closed,
Too bad, so sad, bye, bye!
I'm sad to see him go, but he deserved it and knew better, yet still did it.
I admire his ability to promote himself.

I'm curious on how he was able to continue updating Beastmod if he was kanging from that get go from what people say. Kanging is a no no here at XDA so where were that mods then.
In my opinion every dev kangs at one point or another.
So does this mean we should ban all of them then? Where would XDA be at then.
But he was wrong for creating accounts to help him get devices and thanks.
Lucky for us there are other websites for us to get the rom.

I can't believe nobody ever noticed this but Melvin used to use a different name here on xda.. Bosina... And his roms were also called Beast Mod. He was always in trouble for kanging roms for the MT4G

Lol, they noticed alright! That's why he's banned. But unless people own different devices at once, its hard to see if people have different name. I never knew about Melvin until now.

For the most part I don't think the better developers don't waist their time downloading and checking out junior developers work, looking for stolen work.
And apparently, when it is brought to their attention, as in this case, they try to work through it quietly and professionally. But if the kanger, don't do the right thing and man up,, things get ugly!
Also
If you get kanged from and make it a public scene, no matter what you do, you are going to end up looking bad and soiling your rep.
It's best to be quiet, get the evidence, and let the mods handle it!
Melvin messed up royally!
He is a smart guy, he will learn from this and be back bigger and better than ever!
Hopefully sooner than later.

As it should be!
The trial is over, evidence with IP addresses were presented, the jury reviewed, and he was sentenced.
THE END
Best wishes Melvin!
Hope you learn, grow, and make a comeback!!

Melvin was kanging heavily from Team Kang. He copied and pasted Juggernaut and themed it. If you are a Beastmod user, flash Juggernaut and you'll see. Also he did not recieve permissions from Team Kang to use their work.

I highly think that everybody deserve's a second chance , he got caught but he's not the only one that has done it & i think that he should not recieve a two year ban for kanging i think he should recieve a month or so , i feel that , it's just too long of a time period .

Wow thanks for all the info .

What happend with gamerzrom thread?

So this is the reason for shuting down gamerzrom:
Thread Closed:
Using other's work without permission is against forum rules.
But it was a great rom, and should have been even better with the next release, and now with just one sentence all is gone. I would like to believe there is more to this than burakgon stoled someone`s work and used it without permission. I mean they are all devs, and i think sharing among each other is the only way to achive something greater. So why not try talking it out, maybe it was an missunderstanding, then if you are still upset, unleash moderators wrath on him.

Second time that we get screwed by Motorola? have you checked the update page or do you have unreported official news from within Moto that says that the update will never happen. No official news has been released saying that the update will not happen and that we have been bent over a table and screwed, so until said news is released, anyone who actually owns this device and claims or states things like you just did is purely rumor or speculation unless you have Motorola credentials to back it up.
Have fun with your Note 4 and enjoy the probable lock down of the system Chainfire predicted months ago.
Furthermore, we already have a goodbye thread created here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611939

I do not have Motorola credentials, so I am not telling you what to do. I am simply offering a bit of advice based off of what we are looking at. KK has not been shot down officially, yet ppl are jumping ship as if the world depended on it. LP will have some issues on new devices per Chainfire's analysis.
In addition to advice based off of things that myself and many others have been looking at for quite some time, I have to point out that your stance about me being controlling and giving me the whole freedom of speech argument is very much off base, esp since I'm someone who wears a uniform.

As stated above. There is a thread for "goodbyes"
