Haha that's good! I'd like to know if anybody has done the same (OTA root keeper, restored root, etc...) for the 5.7.902. When I lasted talked with Hash he said the root keepers didn't work but I'd like to know if anybody has tried it.

I will add that a zip of the system folder for 902 is available on rw. If you want to take a look for reference you ahead.

Hey guys i have had my d3 for a while now but before that i had a droid2 global and when the dev's were developing cm7 for it we had a cm7 dev thread in the dev section and a cm7 users thread in the general section, it worked alot better for general talk and development separation. Can someone create a user's thread in the general section. I think it will keep this thread minimized for actual development use. and not have to create a new dev thread every so often.

JUST AN IDEA!!

I think if we give the "General" section a more important sounding name ? Like "Developer RC" lol. I think general sounds like a big forgotten pile of papers. Since its been alpha, people wanna help. If you wanna be heard, you gotta go to the source. +

If your replying to me, I have the update, so you dont have to for me.
If your replying to Vincent however, he may wanna talk a look.

Was just giving out the information for everyone.





Ha yea I installed it on my spare device, but now I'm relying on updates I pull from Moto's servers.



Thats what I thought, considering the 223.6 MB update size.

anything newer on the staging servers?

You're right, that was a bit self-centered, I apologize.

Not anything new on any servers that have a later version than 5.7.902.
I ran through this morning to find the 5.6.999 update being thrown back out there on qa2. It's a brickable update (it bricks the phone after install)

Edit: "You're right, that was a bit self-centered, I apologize." was my quote.

and not the actual update.zip?

is this build more experimental, or is it fine for general use?

My GF wants me to get rid of Moto Blur. I would love to give her ICS, but I'm not sure if this would be fine for her.

the OP says "no camera," but is that just the stock camera? If she uses an app like Retro Camera, is that useable with this ROM?

    I'm booting up a new build for camera testing as we speak.

    It's been a long time coming just to get to this point.

    KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012-01-12 build):
    • GSM users have reported phone still FCs quite a bit. I have a solution for this but it's a work in progress and takes a long time to do (porting Motorola World Phone code to ICS from Gingerbread). I am sorry for the hassle, but usually a wipe cache/dalvik cache will reset your connection.
    • Mute button on calls doesn't work
    • Camera doesn't work
    • Codecs which reference the /dev/ion driver don't work (including audio only for Netflix)
    • Backlighting for keyboard and capacitive keys only works with "Auto Brightness" set: see here for custom settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22637417&postcount=957
    • [NEEDS TESTING]Leaving Bluetooth on but not paired causes all audio to stop working on the phone. If you turn off Bluetooth then audio comes back.
    • [NEEDS TESTING]Bluetooth in general needs an overhaul. It does work to make phone calls, but that's about it.

    HANDY WORK AROUNDS:
    • For users experiencing high battery drain: goto "Settings" -> "Sounds" and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound".
    • For GSM/WCDMA users who have lost 3G: enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer. Then goto "Phone Information". Near the bottom of that screen there's a drop down of network preference. For GSM-ONLY use GSM (PRL). Exit that screen and reboot the phone. Wipe cache/dalvik cache if you still don't get 3G back or have many phone FCs.
    • For GSM/WCDMA users who seem to boot up into an phone FC loop. Try removing "GlobalNWSwitch.apk" from /system/app folder. Is probably only useful for DualRadio models.
    • For a Gallery replacement use "QuickPic" from the market

    QUICK REFERENCE "/system/build.prop" ITEMS OF NOTE FOR NON-VZW USERS

    CHANGE THIS TO 3 for GSM(PRI), 4 for CDMA and 7 for GLOBAL PHONE
    # Default network type.
    # 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
    ro.telephony.default_network=7

    CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO DISABLE THE DUAL MODE RADIO
    # BEGIN Moto,IKDROIDPRO-430, a17673
    # Feature33857 on DroidWE, support DualMode switch, UMTS/CDMA
    ro.mot.FTR.33857=true
    # END IKDROIDPRO-430

    CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO FORCE A SIM SETUP ON THE LOCKSCREEN
    # BEGIN Moto, IKSTABLETWO-1284, nfjb73
    # without this property, the lock screen would take global phone as UMTS
    # block user to operate before setup
    keyguard.no_require_sim = true
    # End Moto

    ** AS A RULE, IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING "ODDNESS" WHICH ISN'T MENTIONED ABOVE PLEASE WIPE DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND TRY AGAIN

    FYI: Fixed the links in the OP to account for the new home of files.rombot.org where the files are located.

    Also, support for this build is mostly done as we are moving to the new KEXEC alpha. But I wanted to make sure that the links were still valid.

    Alright, sounds good. I will flash it when I get a chance. Thanks!

    In this case, I took the updated files from the official soak test (906) and pushed them up so that they are used in the D3 cm/aokp builds.

    Jhiza has the right of it, sometimes you'll see minor improvements here and there. Will need some input as to how much of a difference the new binaries make.

    NOTE: CM9 has added back in the theme system, and I merged that into last nights build as well. And updated the CM release tools -- flashing zips now tries to keep your gapps in place. So from the 5/7 build on, if you have gapps installed and don't need to update them, then don't re-flash gapps after flashing the rom.zip. THIS IS ONLY A CHANGE FOR CM9.
