There is a port of motoblur somewhere in the forms which i cant seem to find right now :/ But i would recommend installing the new froyo 2.2.1 update
I would say the 1Ghz mark is a very safe overclock for this phone
There is my MotoBlur mod and old 2.1 kernel based mods..
find links in my sig.
ok so my friend has a droid flashed to cricket with 2.1 cupcake, and he wants 2.2 froyo, can i just flash a rom with rom manager like i would regularly or do i have to do other things since hes on cricket?
really no one can answer this??????????
There are a lot of tutorials out on how to setup a droid on cricket. You can use just about any rom. I have used smoked glass, cyanogenmod, and bugless beast and lfy all on cricket. My favorite is Liquid Frozen Yogurt but am anxiously awaiting a good gingerbread rom. After you install the rom the main things you will need to setup is Autostart and apn settings for internet and mms and this also depends on the current plan and current setup. The main idea is to redirect your data via wap.mycricket.com if you are using a non android plan. For details use the search feature there are a few awesome members here that have made great step by step tutorials. Here is one that you can adapt to your needs. Keep in mind that the prl and evdo settings are probably already done since you are already on cricket and won't change when you install a new rom.

after you installed the rom of your choice you can probably just start from the connect to wifi and install autostart and go down from there. as always make a backup of your droid first so if you mess it up you can go back if needed
thanks man
I want to hook up my cousins d3
I'm a frequent on the Epic 4g boards and I've been with android since htc hero so its not new to me and I read up on the d3, however coming from a galaxy s to droid is a lot different than I thougt lol
So my question is how can I root the droid 3 and then flash a rom? What rom do you recommend? Isn't the droid 3 bootloader locked? What's a softloader? What's this CWM bootloader business?
Its so different than a galaxy s! Lol! All help will be appreciated. And sorry for this thread....as a fellow xda'er I know how annoying thesethreads are...but samsung babied me with the gs everything was simpler lol

All you gotta do is hook the Droid 3 up to the computer, install the drivers, download the root program and let it do it's thing. Then you gotta install a version of Clockwork, either Safestrap or Bootstrap depending on the ROM. As far as picking a ROM right now except for Liberty most of them are just basically Verizon ROM based without the junk and are excellent ROMs. Liberty I am not sure but I think combines a few things from the Verizon ROM and a few AOSP features. That is the procedure in a nutshell anyway.

in addition to what he said, yes the bootloader is locked. the clockwork mod is a hijack to allow you to boot into recovery. the safestrap is a 2nd system that runs from the preinstall partition, leaving your default partition intact. CM7 still has some bugs in it. im running MonsterRom but Steel Droid, Dark Droid, are also good BLUR roms (as in motorola blur parts). Liberty has AOSP and blur but i havent tested that out.
I've been looking for the Gummy Rom for my droid 4 everywhere! its all dead link! does anyone who flashed it might still have the file somewhere and can upload it for me??
i had the gummy ROM when i had my galaxy nexus, and would love to use it on my droid 4!!
or if anyone can recommend me a stable ROM that is also fully customizable??
i was on olegfusion's rom but find my phone lags quite a bit and im only getting 3g in a 4g area
and im now using speed demon's Rom but a lot of my apps were force closing for some reason.
thanks in advance X100:highfive:

My ROM is GSM oriented and I disabled 4g. If you want to use CDMA with 4g, you should return back build.prop file from eclipse (cdma edition) rom, as example.
HELLO ...i am new to the Android world but an expert in the windows world...... i do also love linux
i have a Droid 3 XT862 running Android 2.3 and i want to experience the freedom of rooting my D3
i had hoped my first Android phone would be high spec running the latest OS (or almost) but i am not ready to risk using a touch-screen only phone because i hav had some bad experiences with touchscreen keyboards....thats pretty much why i got the D3 instead of the RAZR or the DROID BIONIC
QUES #1:
how difficult is it to revert back to my original Android 2.3 OS if i find it difficult to use a custom ROMS?? i really want to use my camera so a chance to revert bak to my original V2.3 wud be nice
QUES #2:
is the phones ability to install apps affected in any way by upgrading the Android version ( FOTA) or rooting?? for example..... i am going to test run my V2.3 os for a while and install many apps, will these same apps be able to install on the custom ROMS?? ...... wat are some of the advantages or disadvantages for installing apps on stock V2.3 and then try to install the same apps on any of the below custom roms:
OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2): [NIGHTLIES]
[ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Motorola Droid 3 (solana)
[ROM][4.2.2][OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.1 - solana -
[ROM] Official PACman Droid 3
[ICS AOSP ROM] "AOKP" (Android Open KANG Project)
[ROM STEEL DROID]
[Closed]RemICS-UX v1.3.1 - Galaxy S3 on Your Droid 3
.....ETC
QUES#3 :
BBM Messenger will be available for phones running Android 4.0 or higher this summer, I am interested in trying it out and i want to know if these custom ROMS will allow me to install it without much difficulty......
QUES#4:
I am assuming that once i root my phone and install a custom ROM using safe strap or a similar tool, this is the same as dual booting, in which i can switch between stock os and custom ROMS at will.......am i right ??
QUES #5:
How may Custom ROMS am i able to install while making sure my phone is stable ??
THANKS MUCH !!!!!.....

Reverting to stock is as simple as plugging the phone into your computer and flashing stock firmware with a utility. Custom roms and rooting shouldn't affect app installation, with the caveat of some video rental apps won't work on rooted devices(piracy prevention). BBM should install on any custom rom ics and up, but until it's released we won't know for sure. All that being said, sometimes a particular app may have issues with custom roms but it's the exception, not the rule. Yes you can switch roms similar to a dual boot, although data from one rom isn't visible to another, like app data, text messages, call log. Sdcard contents are though. Safestrap creates img files for custom rom slots, you can have up to 4(in addition to stock) I believe, although I no longer use safestrap so I'm not totally sure. The more you have the less Sdcard space available and the custom roms can be pretty buggy sometimes. Personally I just flash over the stock rom since its so easy to return to stock if needed. I also only run gb roms since I need the camera

Cant thank you enough bro.... just glad that i can run ICS apps on the custom roms and revert back to Stock when i need it ..... and i think it will be a good idea for me to install a GB ROM as well .......
you said "The more you have the less Sdcard space available"......... does that mean these custom roms are supposed to STAY on the SD-card ??
i thought after u installed the custom roms, you could do watever you want to the SD card
