CM7 IMO, is the best.

LiquidArc Gingerbread is the best, no FC, no strange reboots, stable work.

CM7 - is better, but battery no so long

Cyanogen mod is the best with no doubt
And for the battery you can install a battery saving app

Looking for recommendations - Roms& other tweaks
Hi, I hope the OP doesn't mind that I borrow this thread a bit, as this is the exact question I wanted to ask.
tl:dr version:
I am really interested in _opinions_ and _details_ wrt different ROMs (mods or stock) - "xxx is best" isn't a very useful answer to a total noob like me.
So, yesterday I bought this lovely piece of hardware. It came unlocked (of course) and with this ROM (there's a thread about it here):
-System version: Moto_Version.34.177.5.Retail.en.ND
-Firmware: 2.2.2
-Baseband: EPU93_U00.59.1
-Kernel: [email protected] #1
-Build: Jorem_U3_2.4.2_177-5
So far I am rather pleasantly surprised with the lack of bloat. But it did seem rather sluggish when I had installed several apps and played around for a few hours - and the list of running process was horrible.
And I have a feeling I will want Gingerbread in short order (my familiarity with Android is confined to a POS chinese Froyo mini-tablet (had to flash the ROM to even get it to work, then I managed to lose the microSD within it... Haven't taken it apart yet) and looking at my husband's new Samsung G2S - he made me solemnly swear not to root, flash or do anything interesting to it before he even let me touch it).
Or will I?
What I want is
- As much control of the hardware as I can get
(re-assigning buttons (like that to me nearly useless search button), easy ways to turn stuff off and on, customisable quick access to all kinds of interestisting stuff that I hardly even know about yet)
- Minimum of "pretty" UI
- Max battery
- Tweaking off things like wifi and other radio reception, maybe touch-screen too (can one even calibrate capacitative screens? I'm old, and tend to keep my stuff for a long time, so all my previous gadgets have been resistive Palms of various flavours).
And simultaneously I also want:
- As little hassle as I can get away with (ie stable core system which won't need frequent updates).
- Best possible customisation of calendar (and integration with google calendar, of course)
I can't believe it took me so long to finally enter the android world! I can't understand why it took me two years to finally do it. The PalmOS I was in mourning for ("I want my apps from 1995! Why did they break it! I also want wifi! Stupid Palm!") really wasn't worth it.
Nota Bene: I am not a coder or a dev on any platform. I'm a middle aged woman who also happens to be rather fearless when it comes phones. I'm not averse to tweaking a line here and there myself (with instructions or understanding), but generally I get bored pretty quickly with tinkering, and then just want things to work the way I want them to work.
Useless questions in the wrong place (just so I don't give the impression I'm too well behaved - loved the registration video ):
- Where is that "thank you"?! (I've used such on other forums, but I must be blind here. ETA: yes I was.)
- What's the best place (here or elsewhere) to read and ask about a) general android architecture/philosophy/etc (ie what's part of the OS, what can be removed)?
- What's the best place to ask the question "which app would be best for this?"?
- What android-centric forum or subforum would best put up with my wordyness?

I can tell in LiquidArc display eats battery, 3h display is on, battery is down. For other roms i don't know, if someone wants to tell...

Never tried Cmiui but Im surE WIUI is better. It updates every week with a lot of tweaks

actally I see the MIUI ROM too much unstable with Defy. Cyanogen7 is surely better! I love MIUI UI so I hope it goes better asap!
Bye

I've been using CM7 since a couple of months and have been very happy with the stability. (Presently on cm7 rc 1.5) the stock froyo on the other hand was annoyingly unstable and needed frequent reboots to keep it sane.
The battery life is the only grouse - it lasts around 1.5 days with normal usage. On froyo I could easily get upto 2 days.
Cm7s tweaks and customizations make the trade off in battery life worth it, for me.
To each their own I suppose.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

The amount of tweaking and customisation on CM7 is way ahead of any rom I've ever tried and yes I've tried them all literally. You can shuffle every component of the UI and you've got a new phone everyday, hardware performance is as stable as they come, nice amount of useful apps no added garbage.
If you prefer the curved MIUI look there is a theme for that aswell.
CM7 stands in a league of its own IMO. Battery isn't anything above average(lasts me a day of heavy usage on HSPA network) but it isn't a compromise either.

How many times has this been asked?
Got to be one of the silliest questions to ask, as you will get a different answer all the time.
Everyone has their own opinion of what the best rom is.
I wont ask this stupid sort of question here!!! All I do is READ THE FORUMS and then try flashing different rom myself to see what I like.

even if you're right. it's not nice to curse people and call them stupid.
so keep on flashing but start with your mouth first.

For me, best battery rom with panorama shoot is defy+ german gingerbread walter edition..

Sorry, i already spent hours with reading and flashing but i couldn't find any rom with the simple specs i need.
Please continue read and spend more from your free time on the board and someday maybe you can be able to write something useful.

My opinion
dude, u have 5 or 6 options for this phone
either use a moded version of the gb roms (walter or iaio);this is the best thing u need for panorma as it comes natively with that,battery life same as all (2 days of normal use) but they are the slowest of all
cm7 (xda version or official one); no panorama no 720p just pure speed and awesomeness, battery life is 2 days of normal use (6 hours if u play streamed video)
miui (language specific mods, cmui, wjui); eyecandy but slow imo, battery life 2 days with normal use
stock froyo rom (or bb mods); using patches u can get panorama to work on that, this is best for battery life i got 3 days a few times with normal use
so yah..u decide, i use cm7 as it comes with all the codecs, volume track skipper, no lag in games, and u can customize it as u like as they are tons of themes on this forum or on the market

He sounds like an idiot. And cmiui is the best. Its not slow like other miui roms, and themes are great
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

galnet miui is the fastest of the miui's i've tried for the defy so far, but i cant speak about the battery backup because i removed it in a few hours,
loads of eye candy, maybe something the devs could/will use
it says its running 4.1 but it feels like 2.3.7.
sorry didnt check the camera!
as for walters ms2ginger 2.3.4
its clean, fast and has panorama. the battery life i get is about 12 hours with NO hard usage, i calibrated my battery thrice and removed the battery stat from the boot menu but it didnt seem to help. (any one who can help me, bless your soul)
what i like about it is the blur launcher which is somewhat easier but i thought that was eating up my batery so i used zeam, 13 hours backup, so hmmm maybe i went wrong somewhere!
Argen2Stone is nice, but its blue in the wrong places! :S cant talk about battery back up but since its based on ms2ginger 1 it has the same issues as that with a decent blue theme.
cm7 is fast. its pure speed. well if your looking to use a decent camera app then its not the place you should be, took me a while to get used to it.
doesnt shoot 720p. i didnt check for panorama.
the best battery back up i got till date is on my stock, company flashed froyo 2.2.2 sea 15 JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 of 4 days with decent call and message usage. and the occasional round of angry birds or fruit ninja.
so, yeah as remuseu said, try try untill you find what you like!
ps:if any one can help me with the battery problem on ms2ginger 2 i would be VERY thankful!
has anyone tried the jboogie???whats it like??screen shots please??

[Q] so, CM7 stops updating???

well, it is great news the cm9 is coming, so we have to give up CM7? cmdefy.tk/jordan-nightly/, the site never update since 4, Dec.
Any news?

if cm9 is coming i think the devs are focusing more for cm9
perhaps they will update cm7,but there is a small chance of that happening now

CM7.2 update is coming soon, i have a feeling that is the last update for CM7, After that CM9 takes over

Lol u're such a dumbass
I think the devs are trying to find a solution for bootloop problems, which sometimes occurs in CM7 (last nightly) and CM9
When that is fixed for both, think CM7 should be as stable as a rock and probabaly ends there...and we all move onto CM9

waiting for final 7.2 release and a stable cm9 release thereafter.
hope they work well with green lense

Custom ROMs for Defy+ (MB526)

Hi all!
I've started this thread to share experience about the custom ROMs made exclusively for the Defy+, because I haven't seen such a collection topic here before. There's no Defy+ section here yet, and it's sometimes hard to find out if a Defy ROM works on MB526 also. So let's start off with the ROMs I've tried so far:
1. MIUI Pikachu Edition - this ROM has bricked my phone with bootloader error, but I've been able to bring it back to life by flashing this SBF with RSD Lite, which proved as a good base for Defy+ custom ROMs.
2. Epsylon's CM7.2, which had to be modded with camera and battery fix. It has some annoying bugs, and the latest version here is still from 27th January. Better avoid using it.
3. CM7 WhiteRabbit Edition 1.3 - it's just upgraded to 1.4, but the 1.3 I tried was based on the same 27th January build, so same annoying bugs. Looking good and fast as lightning on the other hand. UPDATE: I've asked TweetyPeety in the forum to use the latest Quarx2k CM builds instead of Epsylon's, and he said he would look into it.
4. CM9 by Quarx, build from 18th March. Awesome look, but the GUI is very slow, I suppose the hardware acceleration is not fully implemented yet. The overall operating of this ROM is quite fast though, the Gallery is exceptionally fast, if I overlook the graphical lags. Surprising, but I haven't experienced any stability problems, no FCs, no reboots, everything worked, this one looks super-stable. Only a few features are missing. Keep up the good work, Quarx.
5. CM7.2 by Quarx, build 20120323. I'm using it now, no problems so far. The GUI is a bit less fluid compared to WhiteRabbit. UPDATE: New 20120328 build has arrived!
6. NEW! EuroSkank KANGs for Defy+. No bugs encountered so far, the GUI is a little bit smoother than on Quarx2k's build, but maybe it's just a placebo effect.
7. Nothing But Speed! I'm using it right now, and it's extraordinary. New ROM based on MS2Ginger, tweaked by me, check it out here!
Note: I had to disable CPU management in the 2ndInit bootmenu for Quarx ROMs, otherwise it displays 0MHz as maximum frequency in CM performance settings, cannot be changed, and the CPU does not reach 1GHz.
WARNING! This thread is not for beginners. If you are not familiar with flashing SBF files, installing 2ndInit, installing zipped updates from recovery, doing nandroid backups etc, read this beginner's guide first!

great thread! finally something 526-specific
I've just tryed the Epsilon cm72, I experienced the same as you

Battery problems with cm72

The Defy+ is just a Defy with the Bayer (red lens) camera (which some Defys have anyway), a larger capacity battery and overclocked to 1GHz (which you can easily do on a rooted Defy). It's exactly the same hardware platform as the red lens Defy and the same ROMs will work on it as on the red lens Defy. There really isn't much point in having separate Defy and Defy+ threads IMO, it would just clutter up the forums and cause confusion.

I don't think so.. Defy+ seems to have some specific issues: problems on camera, battery, new sbf.. If not, why the modders are shipping specific builds for this device?

He is right, you know. DEFY+ is an overclocked bayer camera DEFY with a larger battery.
*Camera and battery fixes are needed on Epsylon's builds, because he has a SOC DEFY. Quarx's has had a DEFY+ for a short while now, but his builds are already completely adjusted to it (both camera and battery are working completely correctly)
Everybody with an MB526! I've started an all-in-one guide thread for it, since the confusion is obviously very present... Please, ask questions that you have and things you think should be in the guide in private messages! So we don't mess up the thread too quickly.

Unfortunately most of the custom ROMs for Defy are made to be compatible with Froyo kernel, which cannot be flashed to Defy+, as far as I know. That's the biggest separation line in my opinion.

Froyo can be flashed on DEFY+ and it's as simple as flashing 2.3.6 that you like to tell people to do so much
Guys, don't rush into things. Read, then read more, then ask about what you are unsure about, then read more, then triple check, and then maybe you're set to try modding. DEFY and DEFY+ are almost impossible to brick completely, but that doesn't make the experience of your phone being stuck at Motorola logo easier at all. Trust me

Strange, this build should be OK for CM7.2. However I've heard somewhere that Motorola is now shipping Defy+ with a new battery, and its capacity is now only 1650mAh instead of 1700mAh. My phone has the 1700mAh battery. Check this video out, at 1:55 there's both 1650mAh and 1700mAh marking on the battery. Can you check your battery's specs? It must be on the back side of it.

Yes. My battery is exactly that one. Both 1650 and 1700 on the battery. Damn. I hope I can find a solution. The question mark on the battery still remains. Though when connected to a charger the green LED glows. But the "?" on the battery icon remains.

Hi Goose-T,
what can be seen on the battery in that video, and also on the HF5X in my DEFY+ is the minimum and typical milli-amp hour ratings of the battery.
It's listed as 1650 mAh min, 1700 mAh typ.
So, it's a 1700 mAh battery. Motorola (or the chinese manufacturer of the battery) is just being precise about the absolute worst performance you'll get from it, is telling you what you should expect to get from it, and ofcourse higher capacities are not defined but I supposed could be possible, should you be so lucky.

next WhiteRabbit PLUS will be based on the latest QUARX, didn't know his source and Jordan is out of date.

Yes, I checked my battery yesterday, and saw the same marking on mine. Now I'm completely clueless. Anyway, the attached battd file may help, this worked for me on Epsylon's build. It should be copied into the CM updater ZIP file before flashing with Total Commander to the \system\bin folder overwriting the old battd file.

Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Slim-3.1.0 Ancora 12/06/12 Unoffical with standard kernel (or with Fofivo as the other user said). Noted!
I'll wait for more suggestions before wiping and flashing again. I wanna be sure this time..

Stock one is awesome and better battery life
And if you want more ram use forfivo but battery life will be less than with stock one

What about those ones?
77ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166571
AOSP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102599
SlimICS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132748
They seems pretty basic too.
I've checked Paranoid Android and Pac-Man too but i think they've got too much stuff that i don't need and she won't use.

My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...

for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..
rc7 impress me..see the ss..with stock battery(old one)..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?

like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

They're pretty old and discontinued but they could be enough for my girlfriend. I'll check them better later.
Thanks!

beside the aosp & cm9..try queen anne's revenge or biohazard..

Queen Anne's Revenge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161091
BioHazard RoM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927428
They're just customized CyanogenMod, and i've already have problems with CyanogenMod. If i would try CM another time, i would stick to CM9 Unofficial
Even if Queen Anne's Revenge is aimed to best battery life and it's made by an italian (as me ). It's interesting...
I think i'm gonna flash one of those modified stocks! Wish me luck!

At the end of all my tests, i've decided to keep using F.A.W. (Rls 3, from the same branch of Rls 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626827
It's simply a powered Samsung stock but it's rocking stable, really fast, enough good looking and with a huge battery life!
Perfect for my girlfriend!
