Step 3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB Cable.

Can’t wait for official version of ICS to arrive for your rooted Droid Bionic? (Trust us, we know how you feel.)
If you don’t mind the camera and 3G/4G working, you can try out an alpha version of ICS ROM that’s working flawlessly otherwise. You don’t have to use this ICS ROM as daily driver but you can surely try it out by making a backup of your current ROM in recovery then restoring back to it when you are done.
ICS? Lookin’ good on Droid Bionic, tha
Want a really “fast” ROM on your rooted Droid Bionic? If so, you might want to give Eclipse ROM a go, it’s simply really fast without any overclocking. I’ve been using Liberty ROM before this but the Eclipse ROM brings you full AOSP experience and feels much faster than any other ROM I’ve tried so far on the Droid Bionic.
Try it out and let me know what you think of this ROM!

To install new ROMs using SafeStrap recovery, you will have to do one more step than using the regular Bootstrap recovery.
The only difference is that you need to enable Safe System, which effectively backs up your primary filesystem so it’s more “safe”.
Other than that, installation is same as the regular Bootstrap recovery.
Here’s a video tutorial guide to walk you through:
For those of you ROM flasholics, you might want to install SafeStrap Recovery, which is much “safer” than Bootstrap as you can access Recovery of your phone from boot. This is good in case something goes wrong.
For example, if you flashed a new ROM but ends up in a boot-loop, you will have a tough time getting your phone working again. But with SafeStrap, you can easily boot into Recovery and restore your backed up ROMs.
Installation is pretty simple, just make sure to remove Bootstrap app if you’ve installed it and install the Safestrap apk file.
So you want custom boot animation on your Droid Bionic? Perhaps the Droid Razr boot animation I am using right now?
Well, if you have a rooted Droid Bionic running a custom ROM, most likely all you need to do is copy over the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media or /data/local directory and reboot.
Step 1. Download Droid Razr bootanimation.zip on your computer then copy over to your Droid Bionic’s internal storage of microSD card.
One of the pleasures of rooting your Droid Bionic is that you can get much better life with a custom ROM and I think I have found the perfect ROM that gives you a ton more battery life. The Liberty3 ROM that I reviewed the other day is giving my Droid Bionic with extended battery well over 2 days of battery life with normal web surfing and some Pandora listenin.
Anyways, I just wanted to update you guys that Liberty3 ROM does really well with battery life over other BLUR-bas
I personally really like the new BLUR (or whatever Moto calls it) on the new Droid Bionic (well it’s old already I pre-ordered a RAZR yesterday) but if you like plain, vanilla Android experience (or AOSP), there’s a ROM made just for you, the Liberty3 ROM.
UPDATE: Liberty3 ROM gets really great battery life!
The Liberty3 ROM sorta reminds me of CyanogenMod7 a bit but it has some nice features I really need like DSP manager. When l
For those of you who want to unbrick/unroot your Droid Bionic completely back to stock, you can use the unroot method here if you have a “stock” rooted ROM.
If you don’t and you forgot to make a CWM backup of your stock rooted ROM, here’s how to completely restore your Droid Bionic using RSDLite. This method is only for Windows.
Step 1. Turn off your Droid Bionic, then boot into fastboot mode by holding down Volume Down and Power button together for about
