Was looking at the Cyanogenmod device page, and apparently Droid 3 is not one of their supported devices. Are there any stable ROMs for ICS out there? And I know that Droid 3 has a locked bootloader, does this complicate the flashing of custom ROMs or has the bootloader been cracked?
Hash has been the only one so far to make anything close to working but it's rough still. The camera has never been fully functional.

Hello,
I`m new to the forum and new to the android world. I have the droid 3 winth android 2.3, and I`ve been looking for a way to upgrade it to ICS. I would like to know if there is any way to upgrade the droid 3 to android 4.0, but with a stable version, because i read about some roms that comes with a lot of bugs, like the camera not working or others problems. So please, is there any great android 4.0 rom for my droid 3 ??
Thanks, and sorry if i disrespect any rule !

Yes there's a ICS with but it's not stable and not finished and it probably won't be finished. This is because after the ICS version a way was found to load custom kernel on D3. Hashcode is currently busy getting JB to work with a custom kernel on the D3, and while it doens't have camera it's way faster and very close to a daily rom IMO.

I have used all sorts of devices over the years, everything from Nexi, to the HP Touchpad and I have never seen such a dead AOSP community. Even on the Droid DNA there were multiple kernels to chose from that worked on AOSP based ROMs. I am currently running Insert Coin on my GSM M7, but I really miss AOSP. Liquidsmooth and CM11 are both out and updated for this device, but the accompanying kernels (I need SW2W and D2TW) are incredibly buggy.
So whats up with the M7? Does nobody use AOSP based ROMs?
Why not just use one of the GPE ROMs? Or do a full conversion? Then you have an officially supported Nexus like build and can run the GPE kernels and mods. I find it to be rock solid stable even while undervolted and overclocked.

So I've been researching the great scales of the Internet for anything that would allow us to have ANY form of AOSP on this carrier locked POS. Not just a themed version of TW but legit. I've seen on the S4 that there were safestrap compatible versions. I was wondering what had happened to the S5 that this wasn't possible anymore?
No going happen with locked bootloader. Best u can get well be Xtreme Dynamic Kat rom. @talkingmonkey had done good job taking over dynamic kat.
I agree. I've been running TM's version for the past few days and it's fantastic. I was just curious as to why a safestrap compatible version of AOSP was available on bl locked phones in the past, but not on our S5?

The exploit that allowed the S4 to flash custom kernels and AOSP Roms was patched in subsequent updates from AT&T. The S5 has for lack of a better explanation kind of a sidestep recovery that uses the stock kernel only hence the ability to flash other T/W Roms, mods and themes.
As far as a Safestrap compatible version of AOSP on a locked bootloader I'm not sure if it was AOSP or just themed to look that way.
I'm afraid the bootloader will stay locked tight as a drum.
If any of you have a cricket phone and assumed it was locked down since cricket is at&t, it is not locked and you can flash anything you want... Just fyi

Correct me if I am wrong, but with out unlocked bootloader, a dev could make a sense rom if there was enough kind requests?
While the unlocked bootloader makes it possible, that doesn't mean it will happen. Most developers don't make ROMs because its requested, but because they enjoy doing so and giving to the community. We could all band together and request a billion dollars from the bank but that's not gonna make them give it to us.
Unfortunately, those of us with a quark phone with a passion for modding and flashing is small. That's why we don't ha e a community with tons of ROMs like Nexus and other flagship devices.
But what we do have is a top of the line phone with some DEV love that is truely appreciated by those of us that use it and take pride in having a special unique phone.
However. There is an Xposed add-on that will allow you to flash sense apps, and with some theming and tweaks you can make CM almost look and function exactly like sense
What he said. Due to Verizon locking down the bootloader, which took about a year to overcome, the Droid Turbo XT1254 got ignored by a lot of devs.
However, dev work was done on the sibling Quarks (Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225)-- which luckily also works on the Droid Turbo (now that that bootloader is unlocked). Only problem is Motorola did not sell the other Quarks in places like Europe, Canada nor Asia (except for India) and even in the U.S. the unlockable bootloader Quark (the U.S. Moto Maxx, with same FCC ID as the Droid Turbo) was only sold via regional CDMA/LTE carriers and hard to get. The "international" Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in Latin American countries and the Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India. This should have been a WORLD WIDE phone, sold EVERYWHERE -- like a Samsung or LG flagship phone, but was not for some reason. Very strange!
However, there's 3 or 4 custom 5.1.1 ROMs over in the Quark/Moto Maxx section which will work with the XT1254:
* [ROM][5.1.1][OFFICIAL][QUARK] MoKee OpenSource Project
MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP. @baybutcher27 is the dev.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-mokee-opensource-project-t3188936
* [ROM][All Quark][5.1.1]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 [Optimized / O3 / GRAPHITE / KRAIT]
Resurrection Remix has tons of options. @BayButcher is the also the dev for this ROM, which is very popular.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-5-5-t3197643
* [Moto MAXX XT1225 / Droid Turbo XT1254][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1
CM12.1 was our first custom ROM and without it there would be no others, because all the Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) custom ROMs use @Skrilax_CZ CM kernel in their ROMs. Even @baybutcher27 kernel uses @Skrilax_CZ CM kernel as a base.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot.../moto-maxx-xt1225-cm12-0-pre-release-t3060089
Also, a custom kernel:
* [Kernel][All Quark]BHB27-Kernel[5.1.1][CM base ROM's][V-1.2.3]
Custom kernel for our Quarks, using CM kernel as base but with lots more options. @baybutcher27 is the dev.

I don't see any Sense ROM for any non HTC device.
Are you guys thinks that is really possible to make one for quark? I'm not shore if a regular dev can do, a very experience dev with Knowledge of CM quark and or Sense porting may, but I don't see one available to do that, I know I can't today and even if I do only that I may never be able some things are really hard to port.
Make a CM base ROM is easy any one can do if follow CM default recipe there is no mystery, may take a while to learn a few thing but is generally easy, the most hard thing is to setup the machine but for that google has a good tutorial and all the ROM manifest on git have they on too like RR for exemplo, if the particularly source need special config it will be on they manifest on git, if it is not there, is a easy find by just searching on other Moto device for that source.
Google tutorial
RR tutorial
So if you guys really wanna a ROM make your hands dirty and try to make one start by the easiest one that are CM base, the only thing that is need is a PC/Notebook with internet access average CPU about 100 to 150gb of free space, I'm build for months on my notebook and is a really simple one...
For a fact I know MM will bring new ROM different from the one we have today, I see some other dev with they MM source ready to make a ROM for quark the only problem is that today custom ROM are not working on MM but they will soon and then more ROM will be available.
If any one need help in build a ROM fell free to open a thread and quote me to help I will but don't expect step by step tutorial that already exist on google and XDA, I help in some things that are not much common and or related to quark only.
Fell free too to quot this post to any one that wanna this or that ROM, this way we may have more ROM in the future.
:good:

Wow thanks alot, mabye ill have to give it a shot
as the snapdragon s4pro and 600 are very similar and other than minor things the nexus 4 and m7 are close phones on the hardware level, how hard would it be to port this rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/wip-aosp-7-0-nougat-t3448444
would someone be willing to give it a go?
I have not been in the dev scene since pre 5.0 and things have changed enough that it would be almost starting from scratch for me I figured someone with experience porting modern roms would be better suited for the task.
Why should someone port this rom? We have already two nice working 7.0 Roms for the M7 well both are not in final release yet but you can use Slim7 as daily driver its pretty good http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/orig-development/rom-slim-7-t348665. Porting a Rom is a lot of work and Slim7 is AOSP so i think thats better
Porting ROMs isn't that easy, even with similar hardware. Building AOSP-based ROMs isn't easy as well. I'm working on it since two months, but it has its complications. If you want stock-like Nougat ROMs, I highly recommend the Slim7 beta, which isn't loaded with a ton of apps, or wait until I figure out the build of Nougat ROMs and get a working build of AOSP-OMS (which is pure AOSP but using CyanogenMod's sources and build system, so it's easy to build for the m7)
