It seems that we might see a custom Froyo...pretty soon!
I'm new to this forum so it wont let me post an outside link.

There is a huge gap between getting a rom to boot and getting everything to work as it should.

Most indeed, but its a start, is it not? Perhaps we can see an experimental version in a month?

I'm willing to test this also, if it comes available. The exchange features of froyo is much better than now... I have to install new APKs to get it working

Looks interessting!
But its realy froyo?
Does someone know this guy?

It says video removed by user. What did u all see

nothing - a minute video of a defy allegedly booting froyo, video stopped before all the force closes

Hi,
well there was a Defy booting a Nexus Froyo rom....

Hi,
what about this rom
rsddownload.motorola.com/download/JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB02C.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P035_A011_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

I think Jordan is the name of the blurless Defy that is being released. No?

AFAIK Jordan was the codename of the Defy, so it doesn't do anything with Blur.

That's correct.

There are a quite a few awesome announcements with 2.2, check out http://www.pcworld.com/article/196833/google_android_22_questions_and_answers.html

HTC Desire gingerbread OTA rolling out end July MAYBE!!!

Hi all,
the 2.3 gingerbread update is rolling out now! with sense 2.1!
NOTE: 2.3 IS ROLLING OUT VIA IMEI, SO IF YOU HAVE A BRANDED PHONE, BUT YOU UNBRANDED IT, YOU WONT GET THE UPDATE!!
confirmation:
Nick : Good afternoon
Dries: Hi Nick, thank you for contacting customer support from HTC. Currently I am just to read your question.
Dries: It has recently begun rolling out but that happens, however, using the IMEI number. It is not known exactly when your device's turn but when it does, you will automatically offer the update OTA.
Nick : Okay! that's good news, but on the Facebook page of HTC is that he has not yet rolled out?
Dries: The Facebook page has yet to be updated.
Nick : Ah okay, but I'm talking about the old desire, not the desire Z
Dries: Yes, Desire of the wounded.
Dries: I apologize, I meant regular
Nick : Haha okay, and do you know which version of Sense's on?
Dries: This is version 2.1

My Desire was bought off the shelf, so is unbranded, however it IS rooted (although I haven't done anything with the root access)
Does this mean I'll still get the update?
Will this affect memory available?

Actually nothing special, according to the rumors it is just a Defy with a sligthy better cpu... maybe "better" is not the right term, same cortex A8 but not underclocked as our Defy's cpu is. It should be 3620... should be.
Camera, display, graphic chip, and all the rest (except for the battery pack) won't change.
Hopefully they will release it unlocked bootloader, which hopefully will work on our devices too

The leaked gingerbread rom was for the Defy+ and it works well on the normal Defy. So why not?
So no big changes huh? Im already OC'd. I was hoping for a front facing camera and a mini solar panel battery door.Oh well,my MB525 is still the ish..

The motorola milestone 2 rom works with the defy too and you can use some apps from atrix, but bootloader is different... So i cant say if its good if we get a defy+ rom... And i think that motorola will make an effort to change the bootloader unlocking method to persuade you to buy a new DEFY+ instead of continue with your actual defy.

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.
Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Here you go...
Superuser is installed.
Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.
In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.
yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

Do you like the food ?
either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

What is the store's name ? street ?
or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..
