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. :/

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!

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.

Full list with XDA links. Doesn't compile any information (froyo/gingerbread) on the site, just a bunch of links with a single screenshot but this should help.
from chinese forum:mfunz.com
different kernel(smaller than defy's), so can't use on defy currently
defy+ chinese version(ME525+) will annouce tomorrow
So it isnt ME/MB526 as seen before..
maybe ME525+ for chinese version and MB526 for others
someone said MS2's GB firmware also has small & new kernel than froyo's, so different kernel doesn't mean different hardware
If it uses different partition sizes, it won't be compatible with our Defys ever. Dammit Motoogle, you're jerks.
It is using 2.6.32 kernel, like stock Froyo I'm betting again that Motorola will still screw with us and release Defy+ with SOC camera

Dont do it official 2.3.3 sucks... and to downgrade to froyo in the future you will have to S-OFF and flash RUU which might be too hard for some people.
Either stay with Froyo or Root and use custom ROM's, trust me.

I have loads of people who wants to get away from the official gingerbread, because it s*cks on the danish android forum...

Didn't really wanna get into the argument but firstly, I have seen many people do the update.. and then their phone didn't even boot after it.. so well done HTC for releasing a possible phone bricker (since you can't do jack all if that happens with this RUU), You get less space on the GB update compared to Froyo (123mb vs 134mb) and there have been a few bugs reported..
HOWEVER...
You get improved battery life (by quite a margin apparently), The phone runs q lot smoother, you get the fastboot feature and better (stock) A2SD.

This argument is invalid, as you can move to SD card A LOT MORE apps and data.

Now, I know that CWM Touch isn't officially released for the Defy. But it has been released for a host of other devices, including the Cliq and Atrix. Of course, the official CWM Rom Manager site (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) doesn't even have the Defy listed as an official recovery.
I really don't have any knowledge but was wondering if somebody does and if it's possible to port one to Defy? via defy 2ndinit?
I think everyone would rather save their hardware buttons
Fingers crossed ^^

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.

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

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.
