Liberty 3
Its time for a Revolution!!!

Notes:
* Please Wipe Data regardless of what ROM you come from

I wipe will be needed ever if you are coming from Liberty 1.0 to fix the hotspot issue

If you are on 1.1 you can simply install the patch to get to 1.2, no need to re-download the whole thing

Team Liberty
Primary Dev's and project leads - Kejar31, Jrummy16 and Syaoran12
Artist - Koveleski

Thanks:
FABOLOUS for all his help on the DX port!
Thanks to Teamdouche for publicly posting the CM source, which I compiled some of my apps from
Thanks to Superteam and Dustin Jorge as Liberty-Laucher was forked from and based on their work
Everyone else who helped make this ROM possible - you know who you are
Hashcode who reviewed why Liberty wasn't working with Safeboot

Features:
- Most all apps were built from source.... rather that decompiled and hacked apps via APKmanager!!!!! To do this I took the CM7 source tree and reworked the framework to allow apps to properly find resources after they were compiled.
- The only apps left from Blur are the Dialer, Contacts and Camera
- AppWidgetPicker - built byboombuler
- Ads blocked via hosts file -thanks to delta_foxtrot2
- 1% battery increments built in (Icons made by thanks to Nitro)
- Themed Dialer, Contacts, Task Manager by me to integrate into the stock GB look and feel
- Reboot options (Reboot,Recovery and Screenshot)
- DSPManager included
- Custom Launcher2 with extra hotseats and speed tweaks (lightest fastest launcher you will ever use)
- Liberty Customizer (choose to add back blur apps)
- Lockscreen options (rotary, sliding tab and music controls)
- Start-up Tweaks (tool to allow you to manager your start-up tweaks)
- Root Browser (full edtion that normally comes with the pro version of the ROM toolbox - no need for Root explorer any-longer)
- Root Toolbox

Known Issues:

Change Log:

1.1
-Mobile Hotspot - fixed
-Market issues (apps not showing up) - fixed
-Pulldown editor - fixed
-Start-up Teaks - fixed
-Unneeded Bionic file cleanup
-Safeboot (latest) - now supported - thanks to Hashcode for reviewing this for use!

A simple "Yes it has been" would have sufficed.
No worries.. Issues have been fixed on my end... Great work btw.

And the problem with that is? I'm glad that the D3 is essentially a Bionic -RAM +keyboard. Most all of the Bionic ROMs and Themes can easily be ported to the 3.

We didn't say there was a problem..

Wait. So the D3 has a 4.3 inch screen and webtop functionality and omg, LTE?

No offense taken. Kshen1 is probably just getting me back for some ribbing on Twitter. LOL

Although he does point out a couple differences I missed ;-)

side note - As far as a "problem," the post I was referring to was the one where someone seemed irritated that it appeared the D3 version was just a Bionic ROM. I personally don't care where the ROM comes from as long as it works

PSouza4...Where have you been my man.

Hiding... bwahaha. No, life gets busy... between my day job and the company I started last year, traveling a bit, and holiday junk, I haven't had much personal time to swing by ye olde IRC channel.

It's good to see fresh ROMs roll out, especially compiled from source. I'd like to see some fixes come to Liberty on the DROID 3, though.

Of the issues that are still broken:
  1. none of the start-up options stick under Settings -> Liberty Settings -> Start-up Tweaks
  2. the Pulldown Text option hangs indefinitely
  3. some apps don't render correctly, such as some I've created using the App Inventor or the Spare Parts app from the market, etc., regardless if compatibility mode is on (this did not occur with the stock MotoBlur ROM)
  4. the battery life resets on reboot. I've cleared batterystats.bin and have gone through a few cycles. You can reproduce by charging to max, discharging to 90% (or whatever is noticeable), then rebooting. The device will now think it's at 100% battery until you return it to a charger.

Not broken, but should be adjusted:
  1. remove PortalStandaline.apk and phoneportal.apk -- these never made an appearance on the DROID 3 before, maybe they got copied over from the DROID BIONIC? Most likely bloat and something that I personally renamed to prevent from running continually as a service.
  2. remove SuggestionsProvider.apk, SuggestionsRuleCheckerCore.apk, and SuggestionsServiceSchedule.apk -- these are Motorola bloat and will be invoked from core (and therefore cannot be frozen via package manager/titanium backup with any effect).
  3. remove IndexingService.apk -- why was it included? It's considered bloat, right?
  4. remove CalendarSync.apk if the user selects not to use Motorola's Blur Email and Calendar -- this is not AOSP.
  5. remove BlurUpdater_VZW.apk and Upgrader.apk -- considered bloat to me, and if executed and an update appears, what kind of havoc will it wreak?
  6. remove AdService.apk and android-syncservice-app.apk -- more bloat.
  7. remove Preloaded.apk -- does anyone really want preloaded phone numbers filling their contact list? Yes, you can hide them -- but I'd rather this be yanked out and I'm sure others looking for a clean ROM are too.
  8. optionally allow ArcVideoEditorLite.apk and PhotoEditor.apk to be disabled via the Liberty Customizer -- I prefer QuickPic, but more importantly: I don't know the vendors behind these software packages enough to trust their permission sets.

This is a great first attempt and I'm looking forward to seeing some of these issues resolved in future releases. Thanks for all your effort!

Did you charge to full, delete your batterystats.bin file, cycle the battery down to almost nothing, then charge to full again? That's when you can discharge to ~90% or so and reboot (make sure you're unplugged) and when the device comes back up, it thinks it's at 100%. Connecting it back to the charger corrects this.

I've read others cannot get google voice installed as it says it's not compatible with your device. If others are not having this issue what could be the cause?

Well, I charged it all the way up, wiped bat stats, rebooted, discharged, charged back to 100, let drain to 88 and rebooted and it was at 88..

Acting normal here....

Appreciate you testing -- it's unfortunate that it's only happening on one device (that we know of). My installation is a clean wipe (format system, format data/cache, install from .zip, and Titanium Backup restore on only user apps/data) and is stock Liberty other than a few system apps I disabled (though I was having the battery issues before I disabled them). Is there an updated version of Liberty you have, perhaps? My Settings -> About Phone doesn't give me much indication of which version of Liberty I'm using (the .zip is Liberty3D3-1.0Gold.zip).

I'm very surprised and a little disappointed that we haven't heard from the authors of this ROM by now.

I have the battery issue as well. I'm not sure what is causing it though.

Hey all - I did the battery routine Pete laid out and still was not able to reproduce the battery readout issue...

Also hoping the Liberty folks chime in soon on some of these issues!

Edit: kejar is checking in over on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18959975&postcount=106)... hopefully everyone will be patient and helpful as he balances his personal and work lives with creating great ROMs like this.

Hi Kejar,

I'm new to all of this but just wanted to say that I have a lot of respect for folks like yourself and Pete who dedicate a lot of their precious free time to projects like these. I hope you see that the community is supporting you by providing feedback (and hopefully through donations!) and I hope that inspires you to keep up the great work. Good luck with your wedding and personal affairs - looking forward to more Liberty action on my D3 when you have the time.

Is there a way to change the toggles that appear in the notification pull down bar.

I would like to add airplane mode and remove some of the others.

Thanks
