ROM - from Official Froyo update

Is there any rom yet with the official froyo update? more specifically, I'm waiting for skyraider.

Where have you been...pretty much all the ROMs (except the vanilla ones) are based off the official Froyo OTA.

my bad...i didn't know that.

[Q] Blurless 2.1 or 2.2 rom for Defy?

Hello,
I know there are several threads about this already, but none of them tells me which rom for the Defy is the closest to a stock (non-Motorola) 2.1 or 2.2 Android. Thanks.

Basically, blurless means non blur and you can't really compare two things which are basically the same. Blurless means you won't have ANY blur app in your phone which basically eats up the memory and cpu although some are necessary for sync and all that.
If you're talking about whether to choose 2.1 or 2.2, i would suggest 2.2 because although i was disappointed by it, you still have some nice applications for 2.2 such as full flash player support and some apps require at least 2.2 so yea...have fun playing around with roms !
cheers,

Sorry for late reply.
Yes, I'm aware of what "blurless" means or I wouldn't have used it. I was trying to find out what Defy rom is available that is closest to a 2.2 or 2.1 stock Android ROM (ergo, without Motoblur). All I want is a standard Android rom—preferably 2.2—without all the Blur crap, or the closest possible to it that I can get. Thanks.

The leaked Nordic sbf 3.4.2_177 is a blurless Motorola ROM & is a 2.2.2 - I've been using this myself for a week or so & it's a good slick ROM. Prior to this I wasusing the leaked UK 2.2 ROM 3.4.3-11 which is a Blur ROM - The Nordic is my preference.
If it's custom ROMs you are after then in the Defy Dev Forum there's a few based on the Nordic & the ROM by ephumeris (EphuNord ROM) sounds good.
Hope that helps & that I've understood what you wanted

My EphuNord is basically stock Nordic Deblur rom. I've just made adjustments to make it easier to theme and modify. I think ive provided around 8 framework themes so far. A mod for stock lock screen. More optional extras to come soon too.
Sent from my Defy on CM7.

Alright, that sounds good. I'll try it out, thanks.

[Q] How to know a Froyo build's version?

Hi, everybody. Got an unusual question today:
Last wednesday I updated my Defy to Barebones v1.5 (did my SBF backup, don't worry) right from stock Eclair. I'm having ABSOLUTELY no issues with it, but today Motorola released the official Froyo here in Brazil.
Even though I trust my phone's life completely to XDA, I feel safer using an official firmware (if no additional features in custom ROMs tease me).
I can easily downgrade to 2.1 and update to the official ROM, but I have a specific need: 720p recording. With this mod I'm currently able to do so in Barebones, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do so in the official firmware. As shown in the mod's thread, they currently support 3.4.2-117, 3.4.2-145 and 3.4.2-155 build versions.
So, my question is: is there any way I can find out the official firmware's version? If I won't be able to record in 720p (which is a indispensable feature for me, as a future vlogger), I won't update. The update comes as an executable (so I can't look into the ROM's files), so a database of official firmwares would be better.
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel

Bump. Nobody?

[Q] Revert back from CyanogenMod 7 to Froyo 2.2

Hi all,
I've rooted my phone to Cyanogenmod 7.03 and my ROM Manager is ClockworkMod 2.5.07.
Anyway, I found out that it is not suitable for me, I would like to revert back to Froyo 2.2 or Gingerbread 2.3 from Cyanogenmod 7.03. I hope to retain rooted where I can benefit of storage problem.
Can you guys advice how am I go back to original state.
Thank You.

I'd recommend trying a different ROM, since you don't like cyanogen I'd suggest trying RCMixS, or other sense ROM's, should do the trick for you

Hi Bortak,
Then how do I switch from Cyanogenmod to RCMixS as I'm still not familiar how to switch from current ROM to another ROM.

TIP 1: You can't back to previous ROM. You must flash a new one.
TIP 2: How to solve any problem?
TIP 3: Search.

[Q] Going back to Sense 3.0 from Cyanogen?

Hey
I used the Ace Hack Kit to root my Desire HD, then out of curiosity installed the CyanogenMod, and I wonder if I can go back to HTC Sense 3.0 now?
If it is possible, will I still have root?
Thanks
Android version

I am assuming you have successfully installed CM and therefore have root.
If you have been able to install CM successfully, you can install any other ROM with the same process. There are many ROMS in the development forum.
Pick you fav ROM
Download it
Check the MD5 (an important but not a compulsory check)
Put the file on SD card
Boot into recovery
Choose Install from SD Card
Navigate to the location of ROM
Select to install it
If you want to go back to Sense 3.0, I recommend you try out Android Revolution (ARHD) roms, you can try out Runny based roms if you want Sense 3.5 and if you are ok without video recording and WLAN support, you can even try out LC's ICS rom if you want Andorid 4.

Thanks so much for the reply, I was wondering if I could go back to the stock HTC sense 3.0 rom because that's actually the only I like the most.
Is it possible to have root with a stock rom?

You will find the stock ROM right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
it's already rooted. so u dont need to root your device again
flash it just like u did with CM

Thanks so much for that link!
One last question please, After I flash the stock rom, can I still get software updates from HTC?

No, u won't get any HTC Updates. I don't think this is what you want because u would have to flash a RUU and loose root permissions.
