Chevy love the rom but recently when im typing a message on the physical keyboard it will stop registering that im typing text and instead it seems to open a shortcut beginning with the letter i press....E.g. when i press "m" it will bring up "messaging"...any ideas on how to fix this or if its a rom install issue or hardware malfunction

For some reason, it won't download on my phone. Should I try it from the computer or is it a problem with the link?
Try using another browser, (IE: Dolphin HD). Sometimes the stock one doesn't work for downloads

Thanks, worked likes charm
Thank you!any news?.....
This is a AOKP for Droid 3 limitation, not a Steel Droid problem... if you don't like it, you can try to help AOKP/Hashcode figure it out or go back to Gingerbread. This is one of the reasons (out of a few) that I'm not on ICS for Droid 3. It's been as bad as me not being able to call others and let my phone function as a phone ;w;
I'm currently on 5.1, but want to flash 5.3. Has anyone done 5.3 directly over 5.1 with no wipe? I really don't feel like setting it all back up... (feeling rather lazy if you can't tell 
)
You need to hard-wire your battery to a USB port via a chopped off USB cable, unless a proper external charger is at your disposal. Or a friend with a D3.
To hard-wire it, chop off a USB cable just before the end device (DO NOT use your Moto cable for this, an old mouse cable, camera cable, etc. will do) and then expose the 4 wires. There will be a red and black inside, cut the others an inch or so shorter than these two. Expose 1/2" of each the red and black and fold them over themselves to double the thickness. Remove your battery and insert the red into the + and black into the -. I taped my in place for security to prevent a loose connection. NOW, you can plug it into the USB port. Connect the battery securely first.
The battery is, IIRC, ~1500mAh and the USB port puts out .5A, so charge it for an absolute MAX of 3 hours. I would do one, then pop it into the phone to finish charging if possible. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get overly warm. This is a riskier way to charge since it's directly wired to power, but when you're bricked, it does work.

You SHOULD be able to charge the phone even if its bricked, but that only goes to a certain point. Depends on what part was flashing when your power died. If you died, say, during SYSTEM, your fine. But if plugging into an AC outlet doesnt start charging it after a few minutes, then your going to have to try redsox's method. Trust me, it will work, but only use as a last ditch effort.
