    Droid 3 camera

    I use Lightbox Photos, which has an optional camera app to use if you don't like the stock one. It has standard editing features, great filters and sharing like Instagram (it will even create a photo blog for you of your public photos), and the separate camera app is very quick and clean. The UI...

    Need Droid 3 SBF

    Here's a link to restoring the D3 to stock. Not exactly what you're looking for I think, but it works great. Droid 3 XT862 working on T-Mobile using XT883 radio.img and custom build.prop

    How to go back to Stock?

    Here is a thread that will help you get your phone, bricked or not, back to stock: Fast/Easy unbrick - Droid 3 (XT862) - xda-developers My D3 was on XT883 Chinese ROM to use T-Mobile SIM card, but it sucked so I went back to stock using this method. It had no stock recovery at the time, so this...

    flashing phone to other carriers

    Yes, you can put your phone back to stock very easily. Here is a link to the post on xda: Fast/Easy unbrick - Droid 3 (XT862) - xda-developers It will reset pretty much every aspect of the phone, as far as I know, even if it's bricked. My phone had the xt883 ROM and radio.img and no recovery...

    Back To RIM?... My Experience With Android

    BlackBerry peeps: try Tasker. You will like it. I only used a Storm for a couple months back when it was new, but I know your frustration. Android doesn't have everything perfect, but developers out there are good at making it better :-) especially the people working on ROMs. Tasker is one app...

    Android/G2X noob w questions

    You can't delete bookmarks unless you root. Once you are off of the stock version of Gingerbread, you wont have all the stupid un-deleteable bookmarks. At least, the GB based ROMs I've used didn't have any pre-loaded. Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

    G2x Rom Recommendations

    I prefer Weapon G2x right now. Only one I've tried (other than stock rooted GB) that doesn't have the wifi issue where wifi turns off every time the screen is off for more than five seconds lol. It is not as customizable as CM based ROMs like Eaglesblood or Trigger, but it works well enough, is...

    Can I customize "Silent Mode"?

    Tasker is an app that I've been using to customize several aspects of my phone with user-defined profiles. It also allows automation of tasks, like wifi turning on and off depending on which cell towers you are using. It's been awesome, and helps with my G2x battery life as well. Just Google...

    my poor phone

    I'm guessing either the guy wanted to get hit, or wasn't smart enough to avoid the tracks. Either way, compassion is still a good thing to have :-) Replace the glass and keep your awesome phone! Just my thoughts.

    Issues with wireless enabled

    I can attest that flashing CWM, flashing a new ROM (Weapon G2x), and using Tasker to keep my wifi/other radios on/off when appropriate, has all had an enormous affect on my phone. Battery lasts all day with about 20% left over at bed time, and I don't have to pull the battery two or three times...

    rooting issues. please help

    Flash clockwork before trying anything else. Then you go straight to flashing ROMs that are already rooted, as mentioned above. Here are some useful links to guides. Long-form version of the NvFlash process: [GUIDE] [9/5/11] [CWM 5.0.2.0] How to set up and use NVFlash to flash CWM recovery -...
