Can someone explain why one has to flash a stock froyo before installing cm7?
any idea where I can find material which covers all these booting, recovery, and the like?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
because when the cm7 porting to defy started, there was no gingerbread kernel for it, and because of the locked bootloader, the devs couldnt do anything about it. so basically its a gb running on froyo kernel. and you can find everything you need to know in a sticky thread in defy general 'all-in-one defy beginners guide'.

So, does it make CM any difference to those running stock GB?
I mean performance and stability-wise
though i havent tried any of the stock gb roms, the latest nightlies of cm7 are very stable, havent had any bugs with them. and preformance wise im quite sure the cm7 is way ahead of stock gb (based on the stock eclair and froyos ive tried, they had sucky drivers). and cm7 doesnt have blur, so i probably wont be using motos software ever again...

I'm on stock 2.3.4 (fixed sbf + android) and lemme assure you performance wise CM7 kicks its butt on any given day , twice on Sundays. lol

Have you flashed a full SBF or a fixed SBF?
What kind of an update was that? I thought the only GB ports on defy were cm miui...

I dont think hes talking of a port instead the leaked stock 2.3.3 for MB526
Look at the post, he clearly says he updated it in the past... Mb 526 is not even mentioned once in his question.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
the leaked roms have been around for one or two months now, so doesnt that count as 'past'? and cm7/miui are both 2.3.4/2.3.5, not 2.3.3... oh, and why are you so sure hes a he and not a she?

He hasn't mentioned of a port either, Anyways apart from our personal conflicts the user still needs to specify whether he has flashed a full or a fixed sbf.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk
he can get back to froyo with a nandroid,even if he flashed a full sbf, right?
sent from my cm7 defy...
Thats right but that is eligible only once the device is rooted. Has he flashed a full SBF , I dont think there is yet a method to root the 2.3.3 stock rom or so I read the last time I bumped into the Development forum.

Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom
It's possible to fix the mess
Hi all,
I bought my defy last week. It came with 2.2.2.
I hv rooted it and have installed Clockwork Recovery and 2nd Init (the versions adviced by Quarx).
I am all set to flash a custom rom, but dont know which version to install.(RC0 or RC1, + 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 )
I have green lens. (Soc module, NOT BAYER )
I also wish to preserve my downgradability.(just in case if I wud need to seek warranty in future)
I shall be really thankful if someone could give me the direct link to the ROM best suited for me. Bug fixed ROMs shall be appreciated.
T.I.A.

Try everything. I prefer cyanogenmod and the latest nightlys but used miui and leaked gigngerbread for a while. If you dont flash leked gingerbread sbf you can always downgrade to stock

Flash the CEE DEBLUR sbf and then CM7 nightly from 0822. People seem to have much success with that one.

Could I get the link to best version of cm7 ??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
this is the 110822 BOOT179-4 nightly, im using it, and a lot of others, seems to be the best one so far.
Thanks a lot for the link.
By the way, is this nightly better than the RC1 v2 version being provided by Quarx?
Also are there any bugs reported in this version linked by you?
And lastly, will I have to install any post installation fixes ??
Plz do reply quickly, I cant wait to flash GB in my phone
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
i hv cm7 RC1 v2 installed. How shall i upgrade to this nightly?
Shall i install the zip through recovery? Do i need to wipe data/cache before flashing the nightly?
Will this nightly enable full screen recording?

I'm new to the Inc2 dev scene but am very familir with ROM's in general. I just unlocked my Inc2 using HTC's method posted today.
I like Sense but want OC and general ROM optimizations. Any Recommendations? I downloaded the Sabotage ROM and hopefully that's what I'm after until CM9 is in at least beta.

Well, sabotage is based on the stock ROM. If you're looking for higher sense versions, my personal recommendation is mikrunny.

Carbonite fusion deux is a themed version of the stock 2.3.4/2.1 Rom. It's one of my favs. It's smooth!
MikRunny 1.01 is a killer sense 3.5 Rom. The tweaks are awesome! It's probably my favorite sense roms. A lot of people hold this Rom in high regards. The Mik team puts out good stuff.

Currently installing Milk. Stuck at HTC white screen at the moment. Is a kernel included? I want to slightly OC and undervolt for battery life.
OC yes... UV I'm not sure. I OC to 1100 on mine and let er buck. The battery life is much better than stock, so I didn't mess with it to much.

I keep getting stuck at HTC startup screen when trying to load mik. Any ideas?
Are you rooted? Or just unlocked bootloader?

Rooted. I was just running Sabotage until mik was suggested.
Did you do a full wipe? How long have you waited?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Full wipe. Waited 20 mins on the HTC screen and pulled the battery and restored. Gonna download again and retry.
please let us know what the turnout is...
No luck. Back running sabotage. The WiFi is broken though...

Something's not right with my phone, obviously. I can't get mik to flash and wifi shows "error," on sabotage. Suggestions?
You're not s-off, that's your problems, that's whhy the mik Rom didn't work cause from what I gather u have to be s off to run anything other than stock kernels... Search the development section for the hboot downgrade tool then use revolutionary and u should be good to go man

i just installed MikRunny 1.0.1 and i am very, very happy with it. it's actually my first flash. i was content with my stock ROM, but was looking for that something extra. MikRunny is very fast and smooth, and i have zero issues or bugs thus far. it has my recommendation, as it it still feels stock, but that something extra is apparent, just what i was looking for. five thumbs up!

He wouldn't be able to have perm root without having s-off. And if he didn't have perm root then he couldn't flash a rom like sabotage. That wasn't his problem.
Depending on which EXT version the rom is running he'll need the superwipe zip that newt made. It makes sure that the correct partitions are wiped. Clockwork only wipes the default partitions.
EDIT: if he's still S-On he's always going to have problems in which case Jeremy is right. but it's more than just the kernel

Wrong. You can unlock without being s-off. S-off means security off. That means its not secured against bad radio flashes or something other than stock kernels. HTC unlocked but it still has security.

CM9 is the most stable ics rom for r800x, and I believe most use the darkforest kernel. I personally use a modified cm9 along with dk kernel and it's pretty sweet
Edit: Idk about doomlord's kernels because I stay far far away from them
CM9 Nightlies, Codename Android, AOKP, and PlAyOSP are the best R800x ICS ROMs, and all run on the Darkforest v4 (v5 coming tomorrow) ICS Kernel.

I've had the defy for more than a year, but stopped using it a long time ago. I found it in my drawer and decided to get flashing. So, my question is, if I use a gingerbread(2.3.4 not 2.3.6) SBF, and I flash a rom, say jellybean on that, what would be the difference as compared to a froyo sbf? Will the rom flashed on top of the gingerbread sbf work better?

Yes, I do know that. That's why I said I'm going to use the 2.3.4 sbf not 2.3.6. My question basically was, will there be any noticeable difference GB SBF vs Froyo SBF, since I'm going to flash a custom rom on it? Also, red lens.

I dont think you will notice any mammoth difference! Once you put on a GB kernel its better if you use Quarx Defy+ builds with Defy battery fix...
Ya one main diff is one extra vsel.. GB kernel got 4vsels
BTW nice to see you from motoroladefy.com .. Got lot of help from you there when I was new to all these!

I wanted to ask if there's any performance difference Froyo vs Gingerbread SBFS if you're using the same rom, say Quarx's jb, on them.
EDIT: Thanks for the answer, pranks89. Guess it definitely is worth a try then. Also, I acquired a HD2 so I kind of stopped using my Defy. I was going through the dev threads and an awesome jb rom was enough to convince me to give it a second chance. Good to see you here too!

whay dont you say that?
this is my opinion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29317445&postcount=19
but is about kernels froyo vs GB
There will be no difference if u flash jellybean over froyo or gingerbread sbfs
Its the same
The performance changes with kernels
So if u have a bayer lens defy (not +) MB525, i recommend u to flash an froyo sbf, Flash gb kernel, use defy + jb builds by quarx with defy battery fix
