If you are fond of installing custom ROMs and you own a Motorola Droid Bionic, you might want to consider a much safer way to flash those custom ROMs. Aptly called Safestrap Recovery, this custom recovery stays away from your phone’s primary system when flashing to the phone or altering the phone in a significant way.

It is very frustrating at times when your excitement for your a new ROM gets spoiled because you get caught in a boot-loop …

The Motorola Droid Bionic has been one of the most expected smartphones on Verizon this year. Why? Because it was supposed to be the first dual core smartphone with LTE connectivity, and it was.

If anyone were to ask me – which company took Android to the next level – it would be Motorola. Why? It’s simple, really. Without Motorola creating the original Motorola Droid, Android would not be where it is today. Verizon played a strong part in providing the intial marketing boost, but it was Motorola that made the “OG” Droid. All manufacturers owe it to Motorola for spearheading Android forward. Since then, Android has gained a strong following in the U.S., and soon after, it became a global Apple market-share-grabbing phenomenon. The Android Activation video says it all: The Mind-Capturing …
