Hey there, I read in another post that you are already rooted so you are a step ahead of the game. What you’ll need to do is go to the market and purchase safestrap and rom manager premium (you download the regular rom manager then buy the premium key). Trust me, purchasing apps is worth it, especially these two lifesavers! Make sure to have at least 4gb free space on your phone’s internal sd then go into rom manager and select “Backup current rom”. It will then reboot your phone and if you already purchased safestrap you’ll then hit menu and it will do this. The phone will reboot, hit search, then it will load up completely. From your phone’s browser, go to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-roms/ and select maverick rom, download it to your phone. After the download is complete, go back into rom manager and select “Install rom from Sd Card”, you will then scroll to downloads and you will see the zip file there. Select it, and then select the two wipe options (because you already backed up your rom). The phone will reboot, hit menu, then it will do the deed. At this point you will need to factory data reset (and do all the other wipes on there no matter what anyone else says) the phone so make sure EVERYTHING IS BACKED UP TO GOOGLE! NOTHING ELSE! ONLY GOOGLE! Or you won’t get all your contacts back…trust me…your phone will then load into the maverick rom! That should be it!

Can you explain how to apply roms to the D3? I’ve been too lazy to research it and figure it out myself and would really appreciate the help.

So, I’ve rooted my Droid 3 with ‘Pete’s Motorola Root Tools’ but other than that I am completely lost. I usually can get most anything that has to do with computer’s but I’m becoming too lazy to learn and do it all myself. Can somebody help give me a step by step of what I need to do to install the Maveric ROM on my phone?

You’ll want to do a factory reset while in ClockworkMod Recovery mode, and then also wipe the cache. The Dalvik cache doesn’t need to be wiped.

Wiping the Dalvik cache is not necessary.

For the part where we need to “wipe data/cache”, does this include “Wipe Dalvick Cache”?
Or is this simply just “wipe cache partition”? I’d like clarification before I do any of this. I want to start experimenting with ROMs and Kernels, but I need to learn some basics first. Thanks!

I just applied the Maverick Rom to my D3G and it’s nice, though I like Liberty Rom for some things, mainly being able to change the lockscreen…I wish I could have the ICS launcher with it though…
