[ROM] Maverick Rom for the Droid 3 (MavROM) - V3.0

[SocalDroid]

Alright, do a backup then return to stock(non-safe) system and wipe data/cache. Make sure that you have a complete, unaltered(no frozen apps), rooted(obviously) stock system. Download this file: mount_ext3 - Minus and use root explorer the browse to system/bin and replace the stock mount_ext3.sh with this one I linked to. This puts the forever root in place. Put the leak on the root directory of your sdcard-ext. Reboot into STOCK recovery and apply update from sd card.

@buckmarble - thanks for the instructions. A couple of quick questions -
1. Is the latest OTA here - Ota Leak From Staging Servers For Droid 3 :: 5.7.894 (5.5.1_84_D3G-64) - RootzWiki
2. Will replace the mount_ext3.sh using root explorer
3. After switching to safestrap non-safe (primary) boot, I need to boot in stock recovery. How do I do this? From reading looking like I need to press power and M at same time and then vol down and then vol up.
4. After applying from SD card, will I still have root? Will I still have safestrap ?

Thanks!

So what my phone shows me are baseband and kernel from 894, also? I am a little bit confused...
If my mavrom is having 894 baseband and kernel, than why do the differ from the ones from screenshots (and probably what you are using..). Are those not from 894 also?

Mavrom does not include a baseband or kernel. I have flashed the 894 leak that is why it shows that in the screen shots. You will have to flash the leak to match the baseband and kernel.

Yes, m+power, down volume to get to recovery, up volume to select it. The mount_ext3 file I provided will keep root through the update. That's why its called root keep/permaroot. So after those steps you will have a rooted 894 system.

This rom so kicks butt...snappy!!
Hey I don't know if I asked but do you think you could include a data toggle in the dropdown on the next build? Would be great

Updated the baseband and kernel using the above instructions and everything seems to be running smoother. Not sure if this has to do with the baseband, but my speedtest.net results have improved by about 0.15 Mbps.

Thanks buckmarble, followed your instructions and I am on the latest baseband and kernel! now (same as OP screenshots!)

I will can give some more detailed instructions if anybody needs them....

 

[anthrpicdecadnce]

Hmmmm... switching back to stock and flashing the zip... i'm on steel droid 2.0 (i know, dinosaur over here) on my base system (aka nonsafemode), which obviously will not update as is...i'm thinking up the plans in my heads to return to stock and so on.. but seems like a decent amount of work. So that leads to me to my next question. In my particular case, would it be worth it to obtain the newer kernel and baseband? Everyone one here who has switched, did you notice any actual improvements, outside of what may be considered placebo? Thanks in advanced.

Hm 0.15 Mbps sounds like trial/error margin.. unless you mean 0.15 mBps.
Anyway I wonder why the update was leaked SO long ago yet it still hasn't been officially released..

 

[Sheffy007]

The attached screenshot is my most recent speedtest.net results. I was on 3g in the same exact place for all of them. The top 3 are on the new kernel and baseband. The rest are on the old.

Download is little higher but upload is lower.. don't think it's due to the new baseband.

 

[Sheffy007]

Hmm... maybe i changed the server or something.

Biggest difference I see is the better radio quality. I always have good reception now.

Looked at my quadrant standard "System Information" and it said "Cores: 1". Does this mean that only one of the cores is enabled?

No, it means that Quadrant only supports single core phones. It is designed for dual core.

I have been having some serious GPS issues. I am wondering if my old kernel is conflicting with the rom. I installed GPS status and did not get one satellite, ever.

I wiped the phone using safestrap. The gps worked fine for a while but I swear after I updated Google Maps it stopped working. My next guess is to SBF wipe it.

Edit: I deleted beweather and now GPS works... Lol weird. I think that's what been killing it.

Edit Edit: It seems my gps works for a little bit and then stops Working. Any ideas?

Edit Edit Edit: Well for some reason after I flashed it back to stock and then went through the upgrade path I lost root, even though I took the proper precautions and "forever rooted it" I found out the Droid 4's new root method works for 902. Thanks to DJBliss. If you loose root, here you go!
