Hello
I just ordered a Motorola Defy and it should arrive in a few days.
I read some Threads about Defy Roms and some of them use the chinese leaked Kernel.
I am aware that the use of the chinese Rom could brake the flashlight of the Defy.
My Question is:
If I flash a Custom Rom based on the chinese Kernel, can my flashlight break ?
Or does this only happen with the Full Chinese Rom.
and sry for my speech, English is not my first language.
Naturally custom roms based on Chinese 2.2 could inherit the LED problem. From what I read in Chinese forums, many non-Chinese defys did have greenish/weak/burnt LED after flashing Chinese 2.2 based custom roms.
Thank you for your answer.
Then I won't flash a chinese based Rom.
I think it depends if the rom is designed for ME525 or MB525

Hi , i'm new to this forum
1 week defy owner!
But i discovered that my defy has this rom:
3.4.2-145 Finnland Deblur.
I'm not satisfied of this rom, now what rom i can flash on this?
Is not downgradable i think?
thanks a lot.
Flash up to 3.4.3 -11 and use Pays Rom 5.1
Or you can flash 3.4.3-11 (latest and most stable one) and use LiquidArc by JBoogie
It's fast and beautiful!
Any original ROM?

What do you mean by Original?
The only Official 2.2 is the Korea ROM, but it has some problems to people outside of Korea. The most stable and tested stock rom is 3.4.2-155-002, the most used now as base for other roms is 3.4.3-11. Here are a brief list of custom rom's that i like
1 - xd1 and barebones: comes with almost nothing, extremely customizable and optimized, really quick, low on resources.
2 - Jboogie rom's LiquidArc (based on the launcher from Xperia Arc, that i feel a bit laggy, but changing the launcher the system is quick), BlurGinger (solid, stable rom, with beatiful personalizations, optimized, but a little average on resources since it uses Motorola Blur, best i have used for starters)
There are other interesting roms, like Pays 5.1, Froyo CEE Go Edition, DefyFroyoSense, but my experiences with them was not that good. At the moment i'm using barebones (was using BlurGinger since Sunday, changed today).

could you plz tell us why you'r not satisfied?!
sorry for my english , i was mean Official rom.
The rom is good, but in this way is not possible to repair my Defy in warranty.
And i think my rom is not downgradable to other official rom.
thank you
What find are people using ??
I'm using Jikantaru's ROM - epic sense 2.1 (at least that's what the zip's called.) it's based on an asian rom. It's the best i've tried yet. And most recent i think which hopefully means active development...
I'm using it, too, with no problems for the moment.
A very good ROM and usefull apps with it (except Equalizer for is huge ressource draining).
A must have.
Yeah, Jicantaru's rom - best rom I tried on this phone. Bad that rom-makers didn't made port of MIUI - i think, that would be cool...
If the ufficial update is untill the latest version why you use custom rom?
would this asian rom work on european phones with english ?

im asking because i already use the second and i dont know if change it for the first one , thanks and sorry my english .
Hi eze
I also use the 2nd ROM you listed there, which i believe is a snapshot of Walter's STOCK Defy+ ROM (i have installed it on my regular defy and it's overclocked and running perfectly so far for about 2 weeks)
I know that walter mentioned in his main thread support for it would stop and he will be working on the MS Ginger stuff.
If i can get to use it with the existing 2ndinit + CWR mod 4.0.0.5 (i think) then i might do a nandroid backup and give it a whirl !
I too use the second of those ROMs, and have been doing for over three weeks. I did try the MS2Ginger ROM when walter released the new version but I switched back fairly quickly. It looked to me as if the MS2Ginger ROM was still based on the Chinese GB - the keyboard in MS2Ginger certainly seemed to have Chinese input as an option - whereas I thought his intention had been to use the German Defy+ GB as the basis for the new version of MS2Ginger. Based on a short trial of MS2Ginger, and reading the XDA thread, I think it is still a work in progress whereas the German-based one seemed much more solid. I haven't felt the need to ask walter for support for the German-based ROM so his decision to withdraw support hasn't been an issue for me.
I'll probably keep an eye on the MS2Ginger thread and maybe give it another go if it looks like becoming more stable.
There are many setup languages missing in all custom firmwares, in my case Icelandic.
The official kitkat rom has Icelandic, but the custom roms look so much better !
I can set the keyboard in my language but not the phone, is there any way to add this afterwards ?
I would be extremely happy if it could be added if future rom builds ( and all custom rom using Icelanders )
hello I have the latest official update to oxygen 5.0.3 (not beta) and I want to know if they can recommend some custom rom or custom firmware because the ones I see there are customs or kernels based on betas .... and I really do not know if I can install those with an official non-beta ROM.
I would recommend you to read a bit more and know what you are doing before flashing.
Your question makes little sense and I believe you might put yourself in trouble (furthermore, this is not the place for questions, this is for people creating ROMs and kernels).
Again, read, understand, than do. You will do yourself a favour
