You can actually use the capacitive menu key on your Droid 3 as if it was a CTRL key. I use it all the time to copy and paste on T-Mobile G2 and now my Droid 3.
Nobody ever mentions and I thought I should make this more known to people.
In a previous thread, someone was complaining about not having a hardware c&p. Great find!

Interesting, how would you do this on a cell phone? Is it used when entering text in messages? Thanks.
What is copy? CTRL+V is paste, but CTRL+C does not seem to copy. Also CTRL+A only highlights momentarily, what am I missing?
crtl c copies just fine. I use shift and then the arrow keys to select text just like on a real keyboard.
I already knew about this since...I started using the OG Droid. I just assumed it served the same function on the Droid 3, and it does! Very handy when I need to search a web page. Menu+f FTW.
Thanks for sharing though.

You can do menu+a+c - bit tricky, but works.

It would take some getting used to but definitely a cool easter egg. Since this is my first android phone I would have had no way of knowing. Unless it's in the manual but I never read those lol
This works on Droid 2 Global too! Thank you very much, this makes my life so much easier!

I'm glad you guys found this useful. The Droid keyboard makes it worthwhile especially with the shift and arrow keys. I just wish the question mark wasn't an alt key.

Yeah the keyboard as a whole was created more for web browsing/emails vs. regular text and messaging. i've never had the @ button as its own button, but i suppose i'll get used to it. plus it makes for fast tweeting too
You have just made me more eficient
Very nice. Shift-arrows to highlight then menu c,x to cut and copy munu-v to paste etc. Tested with my signature.

Ok im missing something! The menu button below the screen?
Edit: I see if I use shift then run my finger over what I want to copy but Im still confused on menu x/v/c
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
It's the icon with the 4 squares at the bottom left corner (in portrait mode) of the phone. Press that plus the c or v key on the keyboard simultaneously.
This is the best damned thing ever - I've been wanting this functionality ever since I first used a smartphone, and here it is.
Seems Seems Seems Seems to work on my Evo Shift

I just found out today that minecraft is available for all devices in the market. It has a touch dpad and you rotate with your finger on part of the screen. Also no key mapping for hardware keyboard yet ( the w,u, and v keys change blocks but that's it).
Good god the controls are ****ty >.>
Once there's hardware keyboard support, it'll be MUCH better.
Sweet! Although the fact that there is no hardware keyboard support really sux since I have two Droid 3 by Motorola...
Thanks for sharing
I'll wait until I can actually MINE and CRAFT.

No you can't, you can break blocks with another block. Mining ores requires a pickaxe.

Should've been more specific then. You CAN mine cobblestone and sand. Just tap and hold.

It's free for XDA members. The pro version. I like AndroSS better, but it doesn't play nice with the bionic.

Hi,
I'd like to know how you are personalizing your Droid 3s homescreen. I'll start:
Im 99.9% certain that there is another homescreen thread somewhere in the D3 forums... but I'll share mine with you anyway.

There are numerous screenshot/capture apps on the market... if youre running ICS you can screenshot on the D3 by simultaneously pressing and holding the volume - & power button for a couple seconds.
Clean and simple ...

Hey, does anyone know of a Vanilla Froyo theme for the Droid 3? About to get this phone (don't like/want the Droid 4) and I hate how Android has moved away from the stock icons they had (like the green messages one) and the grey connection icons, battery icon, white status bar and the white/grey window shade.
Seen one for the Droid X but can't find one for the Droid 3.
There isn't one probably will never be one

I am under the impression it is the one that's hacked to work on any ICS device, so no go for me.
Well I thought this works for gingerbread no go either for me

I don't understand what's 'hacked' about this
There is no way for Chrome to work on our device. No ICS kernel = no hardware acceleration.
