For all those removing bloatware, have you seen a speed increase or a decrease in the amount of redraw?
Marginal increase in speed of redraws however battery life has seemed to have significant and maybe even a incredible increase.
I was thinking I was perhaps Crazy that overall speed (& the speed of redraws) increased but I'm glad you've confirmed it was in fact not a placebo effect I was experiencing!
Hey team,
1. you guys are sooooooooooo awesome.
2. i tested this on my droid x and it rooted it!!! installed titanium back up and it prompted for root and it worked!!! also it worked on my D3 (but i KNEW it would work on the D3) thanks again!!!!

My prayers have been answered!
Thank you everyone who put work into rooting the Droid 3. You all prove why devs are the greatest.

My poor (clients) Windows box keeps claiming it can't find the Motorola adb drivers. It's a 64-bit platform, and I've installed the 64-bit drivers. Is there something else it needs?
It could be other drivers conflicting with each other. Make sure to uninstall them in your hardware settings. When installing do not plug your droid in until it tells you to.
These are the drivers I use:

Good question. I renamed and froze a bunch of apps, underclocked the phone to 800mHz and it seems more responsive.
Here are the apps I renamed to .bak's:
Blockbuster
Books
Citrix
City ID
GoToMeeting
Guided Tours
Help Center
Kindle
MotoPrint
My Verizon Mobile
News
NFL Mobile
Skype Mobile
Slacker
Social Location
VCast
VCast Media Manager
VCast Music
VCast Tones
VCast Video
VZ Navigator
VzwIM
Voicemail
ZumoCast
I noticed backup assistant process was running a good bit, since I don't use backup assistant I have a feeling this was my issue with battery life.
I had done extensive adb logs prior to root, looking for a separate issue with datamanager service.
DLNA was a battery destroyer!! Constantly searching for network even if NO profiles or networks had been setup. It would nearly take 80% of the screen if nothing else was being accessed during the log.
THANK YOU FOR ROOT!!!
Try these instead. I got this to work on the computers at my college as well as home. http://www.mediafire.com/?8rb7bpvp2b9vy2f

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3714are you sure this is the case, I installed and underclocked to 800. But when I cross checked the clock speed with SystemPanel it still spiked up to 1ghz. I think Setcpu is lying to us as it did state it was at no more than 800mhz. I dont think the kernel can actually handle anything other. also the clock speeds are very limited only 4 steps? Definitely need to hack it to move to more levels and undervolt while overclocking to 1.5ghz
SetCPU didn't work for me.
Be careful. Tried underclocking with profiles, and as soon as you close setcpu and it tries to apply the changes, the phone locked up. Needed battery pull.
If you accidentally tried it, and set it to set on boot, you can still save face with an adb connection and remove setcpu.
Be careful removing DLNA with Ti...caused a loop of fc pop ups as it immediately tries to restart...again battery pull does the trick. After restart, all was well with the world again...phone snapper than it has ever been now.
Can't wait for some CM7+ goodness on this thing....omg!
All I can say is WOW! NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE in lag removal.
Did we ever hear the answer to where we were sending our donations? Fantastic!

60Instructions for rooting: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2011/08/25/rooting-the-droid-3/
As promised, I have successfully rooted the Droid 3. I still have never physically touched a Droid 3 phone.
If you appreciate this work, feel free to donate to KrazyKrivda so I can get a phone out of this deal:

I just grabed su from /system/xbin on my Droid 1 and Superuser.apk from wherever it was on my Droid1 and used adb to push them to /sdcard on my Droid3. After getting root at ADB, I did:
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin
chmod 4777 /system/xbin/su
mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/system /system
And then using a file explorer, I installed the Superuser.apk after allowing sofrware from unknown sources.3as root, with the su binary (from another phone) in root of your your internal memory:
Code:mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/system /system cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su chmod 4755 su
edit: haha beaten to it2Anyone still looking, here's a link to the instructions as well as su and superuser.apk

@patfactorx are you sure you followed the first set instructions verbatim?
First you need to
Code:mv /data/local/12m /data/local/12m.bak ln -s /data /data/local/12m
Then reboot. Then you could issue the following commands:
Code:rm /data/local/12m mv /data/local/12m.bak /data/local/12m mv /data/local.prop /data/local.prop.bak echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_usb=0" > /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_ih=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_core=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_panic=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_core=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_efem=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_bp_log=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_ap_mot_log=0" >> /data/local.prop echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_gki_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
