Why would you remove google maps and gmail

Because you can easily get them from Market and not everyone wants them preinstalled. (Don't know who though )
Keep in mind it's a beta guys, but it's nice to see some familiar names coming to the D3.

You can get them from the Market and it frees up /system space.

It was just a question...I don't have a droid 3 yet

Its cool guys. Not everyone shares the same personal values as everyone else. Theres bound to be some arguing somewhere along the line. But if your going to complain, please, make it a valid and useful point. If its not constructive, like pointing out a bug, keep it to yourself. I am willing to hear what everyone has to say, as long as its in moderation. I will throw up a thread here for all you D3 owners, so its on this forum as well.

This post is very enlightening, thank you for gracing us with it.

So, I'm confused. Is it beta or release? Or is it release of beta?

Thanks for Your work and time making this ROM. I,we appreciate it!

Anyone have any initial thoughts to share? I'll give it a go tonight, since I always have my droid x as an emergency backup.

I've been running this since he released it this morning. very snappy and I havent had any issues pop up.
In case you do have issues, just have the restore process ready to go, I doubt you'll need to worry about booting your DX.
I'm going to try Jewremy's MOD later and see if it works with this (since its 5.6.890 based). I'll report back on how that goes.

Theme for the ladies (attached)

Ok I finally got everything to flash for on my wifes phone as an update.zip and it seems to be working great.
The only rom I have tested it on is Eris Lightning Bolt 2.7 so I am unsure if it will work on any other roms.
I attached what i have done so far below if anyone else wants to try it out.
I'll admit myself that the look is very rough around the edges as i have just learned how to do this. Any help would be very much appreciated as i try to learn more about making solid themes. If you want to change the clock and date colors in the notification bar you can do so in spare parts, general.
Thanks to Conap for his wonderful rom and also for giving me guidance and pushing me in the right direction.
Install by downloading the attachment, placing on sdcard, and selecting themeforladies.zip from recovery.
I am not responsible, directly or indirectly, to anything that may happen to your phone as a result of you flashing this.
i would like to see your work.

This is my first time theme so while i can verify it works, I can only verify that it will work on Eris Lightning Bolt(Cyan). Have some issues with transparency on some of the images because i'm still learning what to do. Thought some additional opinions and suggestions might help me improve.
yea i will definitely check this out.

Bootloader progress

Was wondering if there was any news or updates regarding the bootloader. Im thankful for all we have so far, plus im a donator to some projects so I help with what I can. Anyone heard anything or have any good references to follow? And whats up with people going to incredibles over x's? I hope no one is giving up on development for the x.

If anyone is working on the bootloader it would be birdman. But until now all he is talking about is the new Flyx rom he is working on.

It almost makes me wish I wouldve kept my Incredible now that they have custom Roms running but the X is much more fitting and better for me. I felt the same way about the Incredible when I had it, didnt think Root was gonna make it and wasnt sure how long it would take to get custom Roms. I jumped ship because of that and a lil bit in part to bad battery life and soon after they got Root and now have custom Roms running. We just have to be patient as we have and hope that it soon comes. I agree with you and am thankful for what we have and we can play in the sandbox just not with all the toys.
Anyone know if the Unrevoked Team has gotten their hands on a DX yet? If not it might be time for another DX donation thread to give this Team a crack at the bootloader.
According to a post at the android forums, birdman is working on something that has to do with the mbm. It think it was Lexusbrian that gave a little tidbit that birdman might have some news for us in a couple of days from now. So be patient becuase it is being worked on.
Sweet. Well lets hold strong dx'ers, give support and donations, eventually well smash this efuse.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Considering how FAST we got root compared to the Dinc and how the whole "efuse" panic basically provoked folks into wanting a DX just to prove the bootloader can be hijacked, I think we'll have something soon.
Birdman has been shooting out some occasional tweets that suggest that he's working on it, as well as on FlyX. I expect we'll have a significant breakthrough soon (a few weeks, in my estimation.... I'm being conservative here... it could be faster), if not a working bootloader hijacking process.

Apparently the documents and code to do this are out there now. All that needs to be done at this point, is for someone to put it into an Update.zip format.
Apparently it involves some kind of exploit with NVRAND while Flashing a new baseband. I'd say within 2 weeks, our phones will be open.

x911 exclusive droid X rom

Hello everyone. Well I have some free time now and have decided to make a rom exclusively for the X. It will be called x911. After testing out a few and not finding exactly what I like, I decided to start this project. So If anyone is interested in testing a beta, giving some input/requests on certain features etc, let me know. Updates and news about dev will be on "thevideomole" .com - can't direct link sorry. Just sign up for an account and follow my wall if your interested in participating, or just want to know about the rom, release date etc. Thanks.

I'll test for you, no problem.

I don't think that a person asking about your background or experience is kind of a weird question. To be honest I normally close threads like this because its been my experience that ROMS are never produced. Perhaps you if you are soliciting feedback you may post a beta or test ROM you are working. Guys in this forum are used to a lot of fake posts.

Exactly...I didn't mean who are you on a personal level, I meant it as, who are you as it pertains to the Android Community. I write articles and news that's Android related, and have been around for a long time in the forums, but I have never heard of you or your brand of ROMs. So I meant who are you as a Developer or Chef, because maybe you are an experienced Dev and I just don't know of you. But also you could be that kid jdkclipse from the incredible and other forums...some might know that drama.
Either way though, if u have a ROM, just post it and a screenshot and a detailed changelog/info on it, no need to open a thread until you have that.
Cheers!
i would love to test. I'm also feelign the same way you are on roms. I wanna build my own too but not much help for the Droid x. We may can collaborate to make a pretty good rom

I think you should wait to release this until after the Bionic has been out for a few days so they don't/can't patch it closed before it ships - I suspect whatever process you used will work there as well.
You're my hero right now If I had anything to donate to you I certainly would, for now all I can give is praise for your wonderful work though. If I get anything extra though I'll send it your way.

It's absolutely up to Dan to decide about a publication, but he is a security guy, I don't think it fits in his philosophy to keep something hidden, secret.
Keep in mind, exploits can be used on malicious ways as well. So I always back publications of vulnerabilities and thus enabling developers to fix them. It gives us more secure devices.
Otherwise said, I do not blame Motorola/Verizon for fixing all the vulnerabilities, I blame them for locking down devices!
And, like another one said before, it is highly unlikely Bionic will have a patch for this. Bionic users will benefit from this exploit, I'm sure.

Version for Marshmallow?

Thanks!

Use the version you develop. Clearly that doesn't exist yet
Same thing every android release. It'll be out after the official release, and source code drops. Don't know how long it will take, but it'll get there. We had a very long wait for 5.0 because of massive changes, not to mention that every time he got it working on one dev version, it was broken as heck on the next dev version, so we just have to wait and see. Hope that explains it well enough. Better than a "When it's ready", or "none" answer everyone always gives.
The Nexus images are now live so I would guess the source won't be far behind it. Can someone comment on the number of changes to ART compared to Lollipop. From the surface it seems that Marshmallow should be 5.2 and not 6.0 but maybe all the changes are under the hood.
It is coming:
rovo89:
"In framework version 74, I have fixed some more incompatibilities which could lead to bootloops or crashes. I assume that most of these crash logs contained the string "Incompatible set properties", which is actually a consequence of previous method verification errors. It's hard to say which ROMs and devices were affected - but flashing the new version shouldn't hurt even if everything looks fine with older versions. If you do notice any issues and are sure that it's not caused by yourself, you have higher chances of getting them fixed if you open a detailed GitHub issue (usually I will need at least a full logcat).
I won't be able to work on Xposed for the next 2-3 weeks - no time for development, support or questions at all. If the rumors I have read are right, I should be ready just in time to start porting Xposed to M."

Remember, the reason why it took so long for an official version for android 5.0 was because lollipop uses ART environment and xposed whas always made for dalvik originally.
So I think it will take less time now.

I haven't been able to find it, only snarky comments from users here about how its obviously not done. I have checked all the stickeys in this forum as well as the development one...
I doubt you will get much info on progress, as users tend to hold any claims against developers... But I would have though there would be something official saying "its in progress" to try and help stop the inquiries.
Oh well, will be a nice surprise when it drops.
