[Q] Noob flashing help for my Defy

Hey Guys,
I have had my Defy for about a month. A friend helped me upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3.4 (MotoGiner-test5).
I am interested now in trying the CM7 build. I see it says I need to flash Froyo.
Do I need to flash froyo to install the CM7 onto my phone even though I am running 2.3.4?

yes..u need to start with froyo to install CM7 to avoid any kind of problem

if you havent got anything to say why post ?

There are requirements every rom needs which are stated in the main post. If you download cm7 version you need cm7 hboot. Then you must decide if you want something built around newest official release or you want a port, a 2.1+3.0 hybrid etc.
But as you wrote in such fashion your first post, it seems you have some reading to do nevertheless as it seems you mix a rom and hboot. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Search before asking. If it's been asked before there is no need to ask again.

cheers matey i didnt mix them maybe i didnt explain to good, one of my probs lol

Try oxygen 2.2.1 which is fast, stable, fully functional, works with stock hboot and is running gb 2.3.5 - its what I'm using right now. Its not sense but its a great rom.
You wont find it on xda as the dev has started his own forum - search google for oxygen forum

Guys, cool it, there's no need to be hostile. XDA is all about helping others, and the Search function, as we all know, is far from perfect. It's not the most efficient way to get to the bottom of what msdl28712 was asking--which is user's feedback of different ROMs. Actually, this is the most efficient way of getting that info: by posting and letting users answer, then let the post sink into oblivion a few days afterwards. So you don't have to PMS over something so trivial.
As to which ROMs are fast, I find that Oxygen and InsertCoin are the fastest GingerBread ROMs. Oxygen is AOSP, built with minimal hacks, while InsertCoin has Sense 2.1 from HTC. They're both lean, as can be seen from the less than 60Mb-sized zip files (less half the size of other ROMs like LeeDroid or Stock ROoted GB). MIUI is pretty slim too, only 85Mb zipped, although that's because the English language pack is itself 25Mb. If you're Chinese, then MIUI is only 60Mb zipped, which makes it a lean, sexy ROM like Oxygen. Those 3 recommended ROMs I've used myself, and have had not one single bootloop (I always do full wipe before flashing, even if I'm flashing a newer version of the same ROM). I think those 3 are the cream of the crop.

I haven't tried your others yet, but that's because I've been so happy with InsertCoin.
I haven't had any issues at all and is nice and smooth. Also the tutorials on the Devs own site are really useful.

Motorola Defy offical 2.3

Does anybody know release date?

Releasing an official 2.3 Defy will erode Defy+ sales. If you are the owner of Motorola, and your stokeholders hold you accountable to make more profit, what would you do?

As motorola says on facebook - Defy never get 2.3

And I say f*** you motorola next time I buy a new phone

Who cares about a buggy official 2.3 from Motorola when we have CM7?

china did release a 2.3 for defy but seems just do some tiny modification from defy+

So its just a modified Defy+ rom! Damn that sucks. I thought China got an official update. :/
Would you happen to know what build it is?

install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285007
it works better than any previous 'official' 2.2!

Because of SOC module Motorola stopped official update to 2.3, it's stupid. How to add language to sbf, is it possible? Some guide or advice, ty

have a look to the motoginger1.1 thread by walter, he is working on a new release 2.0 which may include the language you want. if not he answered a question in his thread somewhere about an app you can install that adds languages i think?

There is way to turn your 2.2 Defy to a 2.3 Defy+....
...and I found it by mistake.
It is really important to know that when you flash a new .sbf file (effectively a new ROM) you CAN ONLY GO FORWARD in Android versions. Why is not important, and there are plenty of guides that explain why, as well as how to do it.
While trying to put CM7 on using the guides, I had to keep going forward, and ended up with a Chinese Defy ROM that didn't work (but unbricked me at the time). The only option was the latest official UK 2.3 Gingerbread ROM (luckily I am in the UK), which I installed. Imagine my astonishment when the model number of my MB525 was now listed in the phone "About" menu as MB526, which is of course the new Defy+.... So it appears I have the Defy+ ROM running on my Defy. I rooted it using Droid 3 Root, and installed Android Overclock and now it runs at 1ghz. Just the battery to install (if it works) and I'll have a Defy+ upgrade package....
Important things to note - it all works so far, but if you follow me you do so on your own responsibility. Also, you can't overclock to higher than 1ghz, because of a locked kernel (look it up, others explain it better).
Good luck!

i'm currently using miui 2.3.5, it works fine, and beatiful, maybe you can try it

and now on cm7 stable

Doesn't matter if Motorola gives us 2.3 or not.
CM7.1 is AGES away from any Stock Rom I've seen so far. Got it running since a couple days on my Defy, and it runs wonderful.

[ROM] MIUI v4 2nd boot 3.1.25

Hi guys!
i'm not the developers, i'm just sharing this amazing rom i've found randomly on the chinese miui forum

Is ME525 equal to MB525? I've read somewhere it isn't. Therefore, is it safe to flash it on MB525?

actually i don't know, but i'm using it on my mb526!

Here's a better link:
miui-dot-com/extra.php?mod=download/rom&fid=27
You'll have to type it in. No links for the "noobs"
I tried the previous weekly 525 build for a few days on my red lens 525. More stable on 2nd init than 2nd boot, IMO. In the end, I don't really like MIUI and reverted to CM9.

language problem
Hi this is only chinese...plz help me how to change language to english?

no you can change also to english! just go to setting and search an "a" and you can change the language:
- complete setting (the right one on the top)
- last section (system), second voice (language and keyboard)
- the first option is the system language
the 3.2.1 version is out, i think is better!

Question
Anybody knows if it's safe flash this ROM???
I was on Wajkiui ROM (3.1.27), and then I gave a second chance to Stefan's Miui V4 after some bugs... bad idea, a lot of lag, and no option to sort apps into the folders on screen... then I installed all kind of launchers, but the lag still there...
Now I'm running Quarx JB 4.1.2, but what can I do, I LOVE MIUI !!!!!!!!

LED Notification for missed calls and messages....
hey I think there is no notification LED for missed calls and messages received if there is plz let me know?

MB526
Hi,
Look in the build.prop.
Its look like a quarz rom.

I've flashed 3.2.8 and 3.2.22 defy version from miui.com with no problems. They have 2nd boot option, but use stock kernel by default.
Currently I have the 3.22.2 defy+ version with battd and libbattd.so from defy version on my red lens defy. + version also needs gb kernel. I have had one random reboot on this configuration. My phone thinks it's a ME525+ :-/ , but working pretty well. MIUI is growing on me.
Edit: I needed to install baseband switcher on all these roms, too.
