[ROM] [RELEASE] Steel Droid: 5.0 Gingerbread - 1-11-2013

[jesusishere]

Steel Droid3: 1.0 is working well here. After figuring out I needed to activate the phone, all was good. I miss the email app tho. I have the accounts on my phone so it shows when I have email, but I can't check it . I'm not trying to offend anyone either, but I dislike k-9 mail, UI is kinda worse. I also miss having my office software as well, considering I use my phone for work and I'm an I.T. Tech.

EDIT: Oh, and the bootup animation could use some work . I know you can do better than that, lol!

Gmail can be replaced via Android Market. The stock plain email app is gone. Boot-animation can always be changed.

When I follow the step chevy posted ..
After #9 , my phone lost USB options, it only charging ...
Help!!! I cant connect with computer ! I cant root my phone
Please anybody​

I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else. I recommend changing computers/usb ports/cables and making sure that USB Debugging is checked.

Hi i went to flash the XML file to my droid 3 that was already rooted and had the clockwork recovery. The flash fails at step 3/18, i have found someone who had the same problem but don't understand how he fixed it. I also can't boot past the screen after you press and hold the vol+ and - buttons when powering on. Here is the thread over at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1248721 .. Any help would be great and sorry for the worst post befor i was frustrated​

Mine failed as well. I just had to restart the phone and run it in AP Fast boot and start over. Try holding "M" instead of the Vol+ and Vol-, it is easier.

I'm already rooted and have CWM on my D3, I was curious if I could attempt flashing the Rom safely? I did notice that the version number is newer than what my D3 shows, is that the leaked OTA? Should I unroot and go from square one or try flashing over what I've got? Thanks.:blink:​

First you should back up your rom on your phone using CWM. Be sure that your backup goes to your EXTERNAL SD *RSD WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD FILES*. Then go through and RSD flash to the newest version, otherwise this won't work. Then after the phone boots go through a couple moto start up settings so that the USB will connect. Follow the instructions from there. :happy:​

This happened to me too! I was using the cable that came with my env touch and switched over to the cable that came with my phone. So if your not using a moto cable try that.

I've had cable issues before too.. Can drive you crazy! First thing I check now

Is this a fast rom? My phone runs realy good now and I feel that it fast but most roms that I've used on my droid x made that phone faster. I'm rooted and I've froze my bloatware.

Ok. I was rooted before, this is what I did:

I downloaded all necessary files mentioned in OP, then I made sure I had backups in place using CWM via Bootstrap. I flashed the mentioned XML via RSD (only rebooted once), re rooted via Pzouza's one click in pete's tools, re installed the bootstrap app, made another backup (to be safe), then copied Chevys Rom over to the internal sd card and installed. Done! dancedroid:blink:dancedroid

So I just followed the instructions step for step and after I installed the new rom it came to the boot screen and just goes black, then the boot screen, the black. It just continues this over and over again. I let it go for 20 minutes and pulled the battery. When I tried to pull up the boot mode selection screen and BP Tools, it does the same thing. I even did a factory reset and nothing. Any advise?

Rom is fairly fast.. i froze all m y bloatwhere but the fact that they are gone make me feel better and as far as i have been using i have no complaints as of now... but im a big rom/dev supporer of any rom that coes out so that we can have the best after updates
