Rom manger's poor selection for G2/HTC Vision

Why does rom manager only support two different roms for the g2 but has a much larger selection on other phones such as the droid or evo? I would like a little more selection than a kernel, nightlies for one rom, and one sense based rom to choose from. Anyone have some insight to why this is?

I never use Rom Manager to flash any Roms, I personally like to flash new Roms from recovery and actually go thru the process of wiping and installing the Rom myself. As for your question of why it only supports 2 Roms, I'm really not sure why.
EDIT: If found this LINK that might explain why, it looks like the ROM Dev's need to go thru the process of getting there Roms on Rom Manager, and maybe some of them haven't or dont want to go thru the process.

Exactly what he said. Its up to the rom dev to put it in rom manager and work with koush.

Is there more ROMs on the premium version of ROM Manager or does it just make it easier to update?

Premium just gives you access to the nightlies, sadly ... start asking the devs to submit their ROMs

I also manually flash my roms, and wipe caches and battery stats, but its just handy to be able to download it like a cm7 nightly and be notified about rom updates. Then from there I take over and flash it myself. But would like to see a variety up there that's all. I would be more inclined to try different roms I think. I've only had cm6.1.1 and about 75 different cm7 builds, between gridlocks build and when they became official nightlies.

[Q] DEFY from 2.1 to 2.3

Hello,
I want to upgrade my DEFY from Eclair to Gingerbread; I've read lotsa posts on what to use and where to put this and that but unfortunately I'm not into this and some slang terms (not tech terms, I just mean pure slang) are hell for me.
Is there any guide I can easily follow?
Moreover, on the XDA DEFY Wiki there's a great mole of information but actually I'm a bit lost: what's the best ROM with no BLUR easy like a piece of pie?
Thanks!

There isn't an official ROM of Gingerbread.
Nevertheless you can install it by flashing a leaked sbf or by installing a rom such as cyanogenmod or miui.
If you want to install leaked gingerbread, you'd better making a nandroid backup.
Then, you should install a nandroid backup of that rom and at the end flash a fixed sbf, in order to keep downgrade ability.
If you want to install cyanogenmod or miui, you have to upgrade to a froyo sbf ( flash a full sbf or a nandroid + fixed sbf ).
Then, install clockwork recovery mod and flash the rom.
Search better on the forum, there are lots of clear and simple guides!

You can install cm7, its 2.3.4. There's a FAQ on cm7 go with that

Grazie Carlo =)
I was thinking to skip out Froyo as it's not my fave so think I'll stick with leaked Gingerbread, will search out in the forum for a step by step guide (even for noobs like me =)
Again, thanks!

Mh, reading out that Quarx C7 has some bugs here and there, but you say it's better?

I'm exactly facing your same situation: I opened a thread in defy general section to see if it's safe to install CM7.
I use this phone for work, therefore I need something stable and as much as possible bug free.
Until now the only problem I could read is camera related (last CM7 RC1) and that's it.

Nothing is 100% safe in life, but I can assure you that CM7 for Defy is very nice and with very few bugs left in it.
Fresh news: last RC1 has been changed to PRE-RC1 just a few hours ago by Epsylon3. There is a new replacement for RC1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654&page=771 (see post #7708 for download)
Or from the main page (not sure if it's the final RC1 yet - it might take a few hours before they update the mirror to the latest RC1 on the OP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
And please read the FAQ here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The installation process is really easy and if you follow the FAQ instructions, you will have no problem with CM7. You will need to flash the nordic sbf (Froyo) in the process --> so there are steps specific to you to take for keeping your Eclair (or Froyo) "downgradabiltiy"...
You will need to use custom recovery to make a (nand) backup of your current phone software state (which is always good to have anyway).
That new RC1 is REALLY GOOD (hands downs the best version) and I have ZERO bug with it so far.
I'd stay away from the other Gingerbread 'official' leaked ROM; MANY problems reported on it I believe (heck; I've read that even rooting it is hard...).
Later on, if you really don't like CM7 [which I greatly doubt ], then you can always go back to your current state - BUT again, read the FAQ carefully.
Edit:
CM7 is just awesome I've been using it almost since its beginning (maybe 20 different revisions); i will never go back to Froyo - it's that good!
If you find this post useful, you can thank me by pressing this "Thanks" button here under-->:

Yes, CM7 RC1 it almost bug free ( imho totally ).
There are only 2 things i hate about leaked gingerbread:
Ultra brightness for the touch keys.
If mobile data is disabled from the settings, you'll see an arrows icon fixed in status bar ( no way to hide it without enabling data ).
These are the reasons for which i'm still using, absolutely satisfied, CM7; it works like a charm !

Thanks man. It is not what I was expecting, but what to do now... I am afraid that 7.2 nightly wont be stable enough for everyday use...

Don't worry this rom (cm72-111223.0500-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip) is very stable for everyday use. Just some modifications made by the official dev team of Cyanogen Defy to improved the CM7.1...

CM72 nightly is fine but in few latest builds (23. 12. for example) I had camera and videos upside down.
And even if I use defy+ build on defy+ it sees right battery capacity it charge only to ~85%

Ok, I installed it. Videos and pictures are upside down, what a iritating bug
Everything else is just nearly perfect.
edit:
Hell, every video is upside-down. Can some good soul can tell me what version do I install without this ridicolous bugs?

yes, it irrited me too, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580. i think you can change these two files in latest build. (i used mentioned 13. december one)

Now I ask myself why I installed 2.3.6 in first place when I wanted CM7. Ufff, I guess too many ROMs just make me confused. I want ALL OF THEM...

You might sit for a while as it seems that much of the devs' effort goes to ICS now.. Epsylon has recently commented that he will try to build a CM7 nightly every two weeks or so from now on....
I don't have a Defy+ but an orignal red lens one and I've been using cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ (Dec.13th) nightly since its release and I can assure you that it is a very stable build [the best CM7 I've ever used] and that camera/video recorder work fine here after changing the two files as described in my previously quoted post.
So the easiest thing for you to try (if you're still on Dec 23rd nightly) is to download the Dec13th nightly from here , and replace the 2 files in their repective appropriate folder within the nightly zip before installing it; no need to bother with files permissions that way... But again: don't extract the nightly zip; just "open" the archive [right-click] with 7-zip [or winzip] and drag and drop the files overwrite the original ones.
Sorry though; I have no clue on how to fix the reported Defy+ battery charging issues.
Edit: asah! I've realized too late that you don't own a Defy+ but flashed the full sbf... and might have green lens... so in that case, you can try the above, but it's unlikely to work - sorry..

No, no. I dont have green lens. Everything is fine now. Thanks for extended info.

Thanks, I had exactly the same problem - upside down and poor quality camera.
Was running a newer nightly of CM7.2, so used Dec13th instead, with teh updated two files, and volia, cooking with gas!

And you say that because??
Anyhow, I don't want to highjack this thread, but since other Defy+ owners might end up here...
...I would suggest you (and any other Defy owners) to read my thread here on tweaks for CM7.
You will find which CM7 Defy+ nightly to use to get a properly working camera, a guide on how to add a few tweaks before and after flashing it, how to get transparent statusbar, my modded GingerBlur theme AND my latest addition: how to fix the Defy+ charging problem.
That's it, I hope you enjoy!

What you've flashed is simply the December 13th Defy+ nightly with 2 files changed to fix the camera and 1 more to fix the Defy+ battery full charging problem.
That nightly needs a gingerbread kernel to run but you already got that when you flashed the full 2.3.6 sbf. So no you don't need (or won't see any advantage) to flash the signed CM9 kernel again.

Thanks for the reply now i have some questions, i found the thread with the CM 9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573
my questions are how to do some of the instructions that i have to do before installing the CM 9
FULL WIPE - this is the factory restore in the revolutionary recovery menu ?
FLASH ROM -...... how i do this ?
FLASH ICS-GAPPS - how do i do this
FLASH AEROEVANS V14 KERNEL - how do i do this
WIPE CACHE/DALVIK - this option i found it in the revolutionary menu
I am a new at this - first time is harder, if u can give me step by step instruction will be awesome.
Thanks a lot

Here's a hint: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Incredible_2:_Full_Update_Guide
You'll install the ICS Google apps and Aeroevan's kernel the same way you install the ROM. Aeroevan's V15 kernel is here: http://goo.im/devs/aeroevan/kernel/vivow/aeroevan_ICSv15-bfs.zip and you can use it instead of V14.
BTW, what you're calling the revolutionary menu is actually known as ClockworkMod Recovery.

[Support] [FAQ] [BL7] working GB-based ROMs for green lens defys

Hi @ all.
I want to start a support thread for all those unlucky ones who flashed a BL7-sbf on their green-lensed defy.
NOT the Defy+ or red lens, because the green one is the one for real trouble.
I am aware that you can always install a CM10 by quarx, but I wanted to have a more smooth and stable solution.
You should verify, that you are on a BL7. If you don't know what that means, you should not be here, Do not use these rooting instruction unless you know, you are on BL7. If you're questionning here, what are advantages, or disadvantages, or how you can find out what BL you have, please leave NOW.
This thread is for those who know what's cookin'.
I cannot stress this enough - be sure. search the forums. Don't flood this with useless questions.
I'll try to keep the first posts updated regularly, so that there should be no reason to read the whole thread everytime.
Now let's get started:
1. As far as I know, Froyo is no longer an option.
So, your options start with GB ROMs plus the camera fix. Please comment if they work and how.
I am sure somebody already built such roms.
2. You can also use a 2ndboot-based CM7 build like ms2ginger.
I don't know how many of those exist.
3. What I need you for:
Please add your own rom, when you know it's working on BL7.
Please add the rom you're using, when you're on BL7 with working SOC cam.
Questions:
It would be really helpful to know if ANY GB ROM will work with the camera fix.
It would also be helpful to know, if we should use custom MB525 or MB526 builds as base rom.
Working Roms:
1. MS2Ginger
2. tbc.
3. tbc.
First try (all flashed via custom recovery):
1. I managed to get a working CM 7.2, from early may 2013 with GB Kernel. (cm72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip)
2. Rooted via Defy+ BL7 method (sig)
3. Sndinit 2.3 (you should use 2.0, because some said they had problems with the 2.3 version) i am writing this a week later, so I hope this is correct
5. camera did NOT work
What I did NOT get to work (yet):
1. update-CyanMobile-eXperience-Defy-20130502-Release.zip
2. WajkIUI_multilang_3.1.27.zip
3.
Unfortunately "not working" means usually no more bootups, no way to get into custom recovery for restoring or reflashing, so you'll have to start all over again:
1. Flash first sbf (sig)
2. Flash second sbf for root (sig)
3. Install SndInit 2.0
4. boot into recovery
5. flash your new flavour
...tbc

for supporters
If someone managed to get a custom ROM to work, please provide following informations:
Build# of the "wrong" sbf
sbf's used for root (there are already 2 known combinations, CN & CEE)
used SndInit (should be greater than 2.0 i guess)
full flash instructions
which recovery used for wiping
which one for flashing
how many reboots
approx. duration of the process
ROM Version and build
Information about 2nd boot or 2nd init and when to set it
Does the camera work?
Please, ONLY BL7 stucking ROMs, this is a special thread for special cases.
