Install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2 On Droid X [How To]

A rooted Android device without a custom recovery, is like a battle tank with no turret. Motorola’s Droid devices have always been a tad bit hard to tackle when it comes to root and recoveries, or if not hard, they come with their own set of requirements. The Droid X for instance, once rooted, can be flashed with the latest ClockworkMod recovery, but you need the bootstrap app installed form the market, which essentially becomes a system app from that point onwards. So if you have a rooted Droid X and want to flash custom ROMs to it but do not have a custom recovery installed, no worries, we’ll show you how you can install the ClockworkMod recovery on the device in no time.

The recent Motorola Droid 3 system update was the best cure for blue tint while recording videos on the phone. However, as a “fee” for removing the tint, Motorola restricted video capture / recording capability for Motorola Droid 3 to 12 FPS in environments with low light. This means that if you were to record a party, you’ll probably end up with jittering video and low quality output. The Android development community realized this glitch and Senior XDA Member, Rotkaeqpchen, came out with a fix that restores fast FPS video capture of Droid 3 in low light conditions. The workaround discovered by above mentioned XDA member [Yes, the nick name is really hard to pronounce and spell twice] is basically a method to restore FPS settings back to what they were before you updated with phone.

Enable 8-Point Multi Touch On Motorola Photon 4G

So the Photon 4G with it’s impressive hardware and and an equally impressive 540 x 960 pixels 4.3” screen, is surprisingly limited regarding multi touch input. 2 touch points aren’t exactly categorized as multi touch now. If you’re into Android games, such as Fruit Ninja, Cut The Rope or use emulators on your device that use on screen joysticks and buttons, chances are this 2 touch point system in the Photon 4G is going to give you some serious limitations. Even if you do manage it somehow, if a 3rd finger slides onto the screen while playing, consider things going wrong in a second, and that has already happened to a lot of us. Thanks to XDA-Developers forum member michael0619 who originally brought out a multi touch mod for the Atrix 4G, the mod has evolved and found itself working for the Photon 4G, allowing 8 touch inputs on the device. Frankly, 8 points are a bit too much, but 2 were equally ridiculous.
