The recent Motorola Droid 3 system update was the best cure for blue tint while recording videos on the phone.

Permanent root for Droid 3 was gained couple of days back with help on an exploit by DJrbliss.

There is also a restore script available that will help you in re-enabling all the apps that were disabled. Read More
