[Q] Defy+ on defy rom? - Defy General

hi everyone
just a quick question
if i get myself a defy+, can i still install and run all the beautiful "defy" roms available on this forum?
Many thx

The best answer is:
Make a back up and try it yourself
Of course at your own risk
I recommend CM7.1 as its my favorite

Yep, it must work, but you will have some problems with the kernels, because Defy+ is a GB based in GB Kernel and the CM7 is a GB based on Froyo Kernel, maybe you have problems with battery, cause the Defy has a small one, and you can*t record in 720p cause the Froyo kernel!

You can, but you will get problems with battery, it can't charge full at defy kernels.

ok thx everyone

cm7.2 and cm9 is available for defy+
miui wont boot
ms2ginger will work
argen2stonw will work...
others u try...

Hi, i am sorry if this question was answered somewhere,I didn't find it. I am using cm7.2 on my defy+ (not the latest because flip camera problem). I was expected that when i install cm7.2 for defyplus charging will be ok, but it stuck on 85%. Is it right? This issue persist? Or i doing something wrong? I'm planning wipe battery stats,but I'm not sure it will help.
I'm new in Android since xmas,so sorry for maybe dumb question

Thats ok, it happens because the battery on defy+ has more capacity than the defy, and the batt libs on cm7.2 are for defy+!

[Q] Newbie: any advice on wich ROM should I use?

Hi!
I'm going to flash my green lens defy for the first time, but I've some newbie doubts.
I'm having some problems sending SMS, people receiving them get only a few words of it and battery drains quickly, that's why i'm flashing.
I don't use the defy for playing or multimedia, only phone stuff, camera and gps.
Wich ROM do you recommend me? I'm looking specially for battery life and stability.
Any tutorial on how to install it?
Thanks!
Plenty of rooms and tutorials I was on sea15 froyo that was pretty stable everything worked but recently I'm running cm7 rc0 which I find 10 times better than sea15
Search the forum for Nordic and cm7 rc0 heaps of Info that will help you decide
yes you can try cm7 and various other things....but in the end you will be back on stock...till some proper final version of cm7 is released

@rachit
but why are u saying that we wud hve to revert to official??
I was looking to flash the current version of cm7 rc0 as it has only BT+FM problem no other noticeable bug,isn't it?? And btw, how is the battery life in cm7?

[Q] update my rom... which one?

need to stick a better rom than the one i am running on the phone at the moment as it is quite old now and hasnt been updated for ages. i am currently using one of the camera mods to enable my green lense camera to shoot high def.
i see the greenbread mod will allow me the chance to have high def video recording on a gingerbread rom and so my question is.
which 2.3 rom should i choose that works with the greenbread mod, that will give good battery life (minimum of 24 hours medium useage), that is fast, stable and if possible can be themed?
thanks in advance
Which ROM are you on at the moment?
You can take last CM7 nightlies, battery drain is solved and it's the fastest ROM.
If you want an official ROM, take CEE or Nordic.
rom on at the moment is the old leaked froyo 3.4.2.117.
Is cee or nordic 2.3? i thought they were 2.2.
thought about cm7 but i dont think greenbread mod works on there. correct me if i am wrong cos if i am then i will jump on the cm7 bandwagon gladly.
Sorry, sorry and sorry !
Yes, CEE and Nordic are 2.2 and yes, greenbread mod doesn't work yet on CM7...

where can I find this? The cyanogenmod nightlies section is blank on their website?
Sometimes it wobbles under load (lots of people downloading) - wait a while and try again ... http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly/ is the one I use and its pretty damn reliable overall....

thanks bud i will give it a go.
it amazes me the number of replies from people who dont actually read the op properly!
i may yet try cm7...
does anybody know if i can enable the camera mod for the green lens that allows 848x640 video? i am using that mod at the moment and it works perfect. in all honesty if i could enable this then i would more than likely go with cm7.
so if anyone knows let me know if not the rom above looks like the winner.

Need Stock Rom 2.3 on Defy

Hi,
Is there ROM for Defy(green) that i can boot in to from 2init that is as stock 2.3 as possible.
I have tried CM7.1. Its great but i have always been biased towards stock.
Is there any way i can run Stock 2.3 on my defy?
if you look through the development threads there are several roms based on stock 2.3 for defy+ that will work. There really isn't stock 2.3 for the defy.

I ran this one on my green lens Defy for a fair while with no problems at all. When walter79 stopped supporting it I switched to his MS2Ginger 2.1 ROM which also seems to work very well. I know walter79 has posted a number of other near-stock GB ROMs in the development section, some of which IIRC can be successfully installed on a green lens Defy by using the Greenbreadmod tweak, but the above mentioned are the only two I've tried.

mb525 cm7.2 gb kernel

hi all
I wonder if the gingerbread kernel can work quietly on my defy mb525 green lens module BAYER. I currently have the CM 7.2 nightly with linux kernel 2.6.32.9 (stock froyo 2.2.2) and I'm wondering if this rom is actually compatible with gingerbread kernel, and then everything would work .
in my case, the greenbreadmod lead the camera to work without problems on the cyano?
thanks for your support
yea you can use gb kernel on defy...
defy can work perfectly on froyo and gb kernel but defy+ cannot work on froyo kernel!

Do you have green lense or BAYER module? I think you are confusing things. Green lense is SOC module and red lense is BAYER module.
I think so, but i read the log "Detected BAYER device" and 720p does not work. looking better on lamp i see that the lens is green.

I read that greenbreadmod allows operation of the green lens camera on the gb kernel. by that I could also record video after this upgrade? it's compatible with the cyano?
up
I read the 3d started from chachoi : I liked the arpith.fbi's answer, but would like more information about what actually rom works on that kernel and if I can run it with 2nd-boot. I did a test with walter74's 109_DPP-4.5.3-11-kernel, but does not start on CyanogenMod 7.2 (and in fact I riflashed the cm7 kernel signed to return to normal). so there is a gingerbread kernel that works on CM 7.2? (If needed, I would be willing to change even though Rom for having these features.)

see i will try to explain in simple words..kernels in android is like BIOS in a computer..it can run only on one kernel at a time..if u r dual booting, u can use only one kernel..either froyo or GB..u cant run one ROM with froyo kernel and another ROM with GB kernel..
Walter's kernel is GB kernel while CM7.2 uses froyo..tats y it dint start..
remember 2nd-boot is like a virtual OS, it has same BIOS(it uses same kernel)..

got it
so if i want to exploit the kernel gb I'll have to switch to one of the defy+ roms for defy. What about the GGL Rom? seems to be a great rom for green lens defy
if you have bayer module than your lens is red. and it does not matter that you can see it green.
Quarx's CM7 Defy+ builds (http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/) work perfectly fine with the GB kernel and the battery life is actually better than with the Froyo kernel (at least for me).
You need to install the attached battery fix though since Quarx'x build include the battd for the Defy+. Credits go to Auris 1.6 vvt-i for posting this in the CM9 thread.
The best kernel seems to be 4.5.3-109, which can be downloaded from Walter's MS2Ginger thread.

EDIT: i have just installed the defy+ cm7 and 4.5.3-109-DPP11 walter74's kernel. soon i'll test also the battery. the camera still work, but how to change the telephone model in the telephone details? it will compromise the mb525 hardware on supported applications?
Red lens mb525
Cm7.2
Just switched to cm7.2 from pikachu edition. (figured I check it out) I'm guessing I have a froyo kernel. If I wanted better battery life and smoother gaming would the gb kernel be better to flash or just stay on froyo?
(not the right post but figured I ask it instead of creating a new thread)

DEFY+ (MB526) - a guide for the beginners

As the number of DEFY+ owners slowly reaches the number of regular DEFY ones, it's becoming an every day thing to see someone brick his DEFY+ because he flashed a Froyo only ROM. I'm not mad about the fact, I know that it's all confusing when you're doing it for the first time and that's why I'm going to try and make things a bit easier.
1. Introductory information
DEFY+ = Overclocked Bayer lens DEFY and a higher capacity battery
*If you haven't read it already, read the great All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide written by Zephyrot!*
1.1 Downgrading / "bootloader version" issues
-DEFY+ comes with "bootloader version" 6 or 7. What does "bootloader version" mean? Every Motorola .sbf file is made up of many code groups (short: CG) which contain different part of the phone's operating system (kernel, system files, multimedia files etc.). Those code groups are signed by Motorola (otherwise they would make the phone unable to boot when they are flashed) and one part of that signing is a version number. When you flash a .sbf on your phone you cannot flash one that contains CGs signed with number lower that those that have previously been on your phone.
*Only the latest 2.3.6 Motorola ROM's are signed as version 7*
2. Gingerbread ROMs
-Gingerbread ROM's can be flashed on to every DEFY+ that you can root and install 2nd on. No need to worry about kernels, because these ROM work on the Gingerbread kernels and, as you know, every DEFY+ comes with Gingerbread pre-installed.
1. CyanogenMod 7.2 by Quarx - download
2. CyanogenMod 7.2 by Epsylon - download
3. CyanogenMod 9 by Quarx - download
4. CyanogenMod 9 by Epsylon - download
5. CM7 WhiteRabbit Plus Edition by TweetyPeety - download
6. MS2Ginger v3 by walter79 download
3. Froyo ROMs
-These ROM's are meant to work with a Froyo kernel, which is actually quite easy to get to:
..::Guide for flashing a DEFY+ down to Froyo (bl6 only)::..
*My plan for this thread:
-List of all ROM's that include DEFY+ support by the author
-A bit of information on every ROM mentioned
-Guide for installing every ROM on the DEFY+ (Gingerbread or Froyo)
-Battery fixing (so you can charge your DEFY+ battery to 100%) on any ROM
-Overclocking
-A list of version 6 and version 7 Motorola ROM's
Battery fix to the Quarx's CM9 18th march build.
i upgraded to Quarx's CM9 nightly and i had a problem with the battery..The percentage was constant..No matter how much i charge or discharge.
So i went for the defy red lens battery fix..now the battery status is displaying correctly but the battery charges only till 81%.
Any fix ?

According to my experience, the unofficial Defy+ CM7.2 and CM9 builds are running very well with this SBF, its Android version is 2.3.6. I flashed it and have no such problems with Quarx's CM7.2 and CM9 ROMs. No battery and camera fix is needed for the latest builds.

I think that Android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 versions are so uncommon on the Defy+, that almost no one uses the kernels from these as a basis for custom ROMs. That SBF is an official Motorola firmware, if you are familiar with RSD Lite and your phone's bootloader version is 6, you should flash it, and your problems will be gone with CM. Make a nandroid backup first in case of warranty problems. After flashing you will have to root it and install 2ndInit again.

Pretty long procedure..what does stock rom have to do with custom roms?After installing the Quarx's latest nightly i flashed the CM9 kernel..Without flashing the CM9 kernel it gets stuck at the boot logo.There should be a battery fix for this.

Read this, and you will understand. In a nutshell: the kernel is responsible for the battery issue, and the kernel in your Android 2.3.4 is not fully compatible with CM7.2. The CyanogenMod builds for this phone do not contain the kernel, they use the official one that sits on your phone since you've bought it. One cannot simply change kernel on a Defy+ (locked bootloader and digital signature), the safest way to do it is to flash an official SBF with RSD Lite, which will contain the good, CM-compatible kernel.

All European DEFY+ come with 2.3.5 pre-installed! And I use one of the 2.3.5 sbf's as a basis for all Gingerbread ROM's and have no problems, just like you.
Please stop telling people to flash that 2.3.6 sbf! It's okay as I can see that it's version 6, but nevertheless, sbf flashing is not really a pleasant experience for the beginners and is considered an advanced technique. I know that it's actually a piece of cake, but it won't solve his battery problem. It won't solve anyone's battery problem, because it's called by one file only - battd.bin. Nothing to do with kernel version.

Why don't I have any problems with the battery? My base sbf is 2.3.5 and I haven't applied any battery fix.
Why didn't I have any problems with the battery when I used MIUI Pikachu Edition? It had Froyo as a base.
Kernel version has nothing to do with the battery charging problem. (added on 5th of July: this may not be correct :/ The confusion around the problem is still here.)
Quarx himself owns a DEFY+ and that's why his ROMs are DEFY+ compatible. The battd.bin file that he put's in his Gingerbread ROM's (defy+ builds of CM7.2 and CM9) contains the information about the capacity of a DEFY+ battery, not standard DEFY.

Your DEFY+ has an old 2.3.4 ROM and those ROM's have a kernel that is actually working the same as Froyo kernels. That's why you needed to flash CM9-kernel to get Quarx's DEFY+ CM9 working. (CM9-kernel = one of the Motorola's Gingerbread kernels)
What came to my mind is that your phone might actually be a DEFY flashed to a very early 2.3.4 ROM and then sold as DEFY+. That would explain why official CM7.2 RC1 charged your battery to 100%. That ROM is meant for standard DEFY and for Froyo kernel.

Old 2.3.4 builds are known to work as base for Froyo ROM's
But the weird thing is that his battery won't charge to 100% on ROMs with the correct battd.bin for DEFY+, but it does on the ones with a battd.bin for a standard DEFY!
@krishna.kowshik Try this:
1. Open the CM7.2 RC1.zip, go to system/bin/ and then extract file battd.bin
2. Install RootExplorer on your phone (Accept the SuperUser permissions)
3. Copy that battd.bin file you extracted to somewhere on your memory card
4. Open RootExplorer, copy the battd.bin from where you've put it, go to root/system/bin press Mount R/W button, then paste the battd.bin, overwrite the previous one and finally press Mount R/O button.
5. Exit everything, turn off phone, enter custom recovery, Recovery > Custom > Advanced / Clear battery stats
6. Restart phone
Your phone should charge to 100% now! But, there's no guarantees. DEFY+ is a strange thing There are many MANY of those battd.bin files available, and some work for some people, some work for others...
Let us know if it worked!

I thought you might have bought a second hand one... But your battery model is correct, and you say you bought it sealed in a box. Don't worry, it must be an MB526 (DEFY+)!
Old 2.3.4 builds are known to work as base for Froyo ROM's
But the weird thing is that his battery won't charge to 100% on ROMs with the correct battd.bin for DEFY+, but it does on the ones with a battd.bin for a standard DEFY!
@krishna.kowshik Try this:
1. Open the CM7.2 RC1.zip, go to system/bin/ and then extract file battd.bin
2. Install RootExplorer on your phone (Accept the SuperUser permissions)
3. Copy that battd.bin file you extracted to somewhere on your memory card
4. Open RootExplorer, copy the battd.bin from where you've put it, go to root/system/bin press Mount R/W button, then paste the battd.bin, overwrite the previous one and finally press Mount R/O button.
5. Exit everything, turn off phone, enter custom recovery, Recovery > Custom > Advanced / Clear battery stats
6. Restart phone
