[ROM] Maverick Rom for the Droid 3 (MavROM) - V4.5

[toomuchespresso]

I'm having the same battery drain issues. On 4.0 I could go about 20 hours without having to charge under normal use. On 4.5 I only get about 8 hours.

Has anyone had any issues with entering contacts on this ROM? When I try to enter a new contact I only get input fields for "First Name" & "Last Name".

go to settings/about phone and check system version..make sure your on 5.7.906 before you use my sbf or you will have to take acouple more steps to unbrick yourself..

Anyone want to chime in on battery drain? is it real?

 

[reimer]

I do have it... but I can live with it. It is a great ROM, and battery drain (seems that happens most on voice on calls) is not so fast, and still have a day of use.

It is real. I recommend using Mav 4.0 (I'm going to be downgrading back to it later today) for the best battery life.

My battery life isn't really good but not dramitacally worse than mavrom 4.0 as far as I can remember..

Wrong.....

Mobile spy security app was the battery problem. After uninstalling, today I used 8 hours on, many calls, 3g on, saw 6 chapters of Modern Family and still 48 % battery.

What about for those of us who had horrible battery life and didn't install that app?

Some hints :

- Phone use, music, web , and playing videos (if not together) with almost no performance noticed, using CPU at 300 MHZ max... (SETCPU) . As Droid 3 has a GPU, dual core it works fine on most tasks.
Recommended settings for long trips for longer battery life. Don't forget to reselase 300 max when using camera, heavy CPU games or capturing videos.

- Use Autorun Manager to avoid at boot not important apps that takes memory, resources and most important.. battery. Also use advanced settings to really stop them after booting.

- Use FastReboot to kill all apps EXCLUDED on your resident app list.

- Use Adblock to stop advertisement and background communications of apps.

Memory clean , less apps connected (sending and receiving info), less apps running that makes phone awake and wasting energy, slowing CPU when not needed, avoid overclock for long time or forcing governor to performance , will make the trick... and applies to all roms.

I don't have mobil spy but am noticing battery issues with the same set of apps that I had in 4.0. I think I'll try reinstalling 4.5. Maybe a bad download.

Cant install rom safestrap crashes on open

I am completely new to this so plz bare with me. (I have a brand new droid 3, clean install factory os, no apps installed, motoblur at its worst lol etc...)
I have followed the steps to install the droid3safestrap file. But the links are all broken now. So all I have to choose from for the droid 3 is version 2.10 from hash-of-codes
After installing the app it crashes immediately when opening. Is this because I'm not rooted, or is another version required for this to work?
plz help,
thanks,
Chris
