Can I flash CM 7.1 in Defy? - Defy General

Sorry for being such a noob.
I had been using a Samsung Galaxy Ace and I am terribly disappointed with it's battery life even after tweaking it a lot after flashing CM 7.1 Grif's. I had a look into the specifications of Defy and I am actually quite impressed by them. And SGA and Defy doesn't differ much by price at all
But it's still Froyo in Defy and I don't know if an official upgrade to Gingerbread is available for Defy. Most importantly, I would like to know if I can flash CM 7.1 just like I did with my SGA using CWM 4?

yup u can flash it but dont buy a motorola device...
support sucks no updates nothing...
devs for Defy are the best but still...

Dude. As long as you don't run stock blur, its fine. Defy is A LOT better than Galaxy Ace ( in my opinion at least)

Maybe software support sucks... but an update was never promised so you bought it knowing that before hand... hardware support is quite good for me as i damaged my battery (probably by taking it for a swim then opening the cover before it dries off), i contacted customer support, the toll-free service reps sucks, so i sent them an 'angry' mail and they sent the me the number of the regional manager, contacted him, sent my old battery in and got a free replacement... (am also from india)

lol, I hope so(phone is not mine, is my moms phone) I rooted and removed tmo stuff.
Last time from 2.1 to 2.2.1 there was an annoying message every 1 hour about the update, that time renaming blurupdater worked, this time I'm not sure if it will work as phone can still check for updates

I'll be very surprised to see ICS on the defy.
Per Moto table, it requires 1GB of Ram

Even my Nexus S struggles with ICS, 512mb is not enough specially bc new apps are hugee, like facebook 48mb ram

I live in India and I know how good Motorola's support to India is!
not even a single motorola's SC
all of them are Authorized SC of other companies...
All they can say is "We will have to send this to factory!" (Less lame than Nokia who says "This is virus in symbian! lol")
Any ways as per Motorola's statement Defy stays at 2.2 and plus at 2.3

It doesn't make a crap difference even if you do have contacts. If no GB update, then obviously no ICS update.

I didn't like the software, feels like too much stalking.... And also, it just looks awkward when you're talking TO your phone. I also prefer to do most things manually. I would buy that thing..... If it had cm9 preinstalled......
A next galaxy in form of official ICS for Gio or camera libs' sources would be enough for me. Gio is affordable. Instead of even SGSII I'd rather buy myself a notebook to replace my old PC...

Just feels like they took Android to the wrong direction, most newer phones are close to impossible to mod. I almost bricked my buddy's new phone when we tried to root it. I'll skip the s3 and sell my gio for a rooted, S-off HTC sensation.

Not a nice Sony phone?
Their software is excellent and they allow rooting, they are even giving guides to make a custom rom!
And their design is much nicer than Samsung/HTC/rotten Apple, Sony makes unique phones
Samsung and HTC makes smartphones every time with same design

Yes Why I'm sorry but I think everyone should consider to buy a Xperia mini as it isn't that expensive and much better than the Galaxy Young (Just sell that Young xD) and btw It was to laggy to play games on also
I had a mini of my friend with cm7 and it was running slow as ****. The games worked better in gy it was too laggy. You'll regret the decision if you take mini go atleast for x10 or a higher end model. One thing man cm7 isn't everything. It will be laggy in cm7 than on stock based roms on gy . Cm9 is just a dream for this phone. Anyways, good luck

If you don't mind about other brands than samsung i suggest you use HTC Sensation XE. It's nice and have a better specs than ours. It has 1,5 ghz dual core processor and some usb otg if you are a fan of usb otg. Just search it on google about this amazing phone. And yes it is affordable
I choose this phone as a back up for my wonder if something happens to it, and yes it was stolen. So i change to this phone and it is awesome

You can check on sensation thread,arco's on sensation is bruce2728, cm 10 is 99% already perfect,redvilzz and i are using the same phone now and moved from wonder. And from those cm trees,came jellybam,pa,miui,aosp,aokp. Yet,i still having my wonder here,but for better attention, they have it on sensation
Really having hardtime for rooting,s-offing,bootlocker,but when your done,you can do whatever you want from touchrecovery,even flashing stockrom
sent from my LegenDroid ?
True as dolly said, and thanks to his help for guiding me on choosing rom, kernel, rooting and etc. :cheers: to you mate. Anyway It is an awesome phone in the upper hand of wonder. Why i didn't choose s2 because the price is around 2 times expensive CMIIW then the sensation xe. Sensation XE is only around 1,2 / 1,3 times expensive and the specs is 'almost' like s2 only very different from the screen which is not AMOLED
And about the difficulty of rooting there are a lot to do to gain the ability to flash custom rom on this 'baby'
You need to unlock bootloader, root, s-off and etc.
It is all explained in the thread. FYI after what i've been through the S-Offing way is the most difficult one for me, but after you succeeded it's smooth sailing to change all rom.
And also there are many great and good dev there like arco's which is our man . Cheers to arco :beer:
Sensation thread is in xda, just search for htc sensation. The thread is a combined version with the sensation, sensation 4g, and sensation xe, almost all the roms are compatible with every variant of sensation.
For sony yes it is cheap and have more power but almost all low prices phone that i checked didn't have external capabilities and i know yes they are better from our wonder with a little cheaper prize but yeah no external sd card capabilities? That's a pain
Try googling and look on the specs man it will amaze you with the affordable price :thumbup:

wonder is enough and best for me with CM9. i dont play games so why i buy more expensive money.
Actually I want to buy Galaxy Nexus, but.. it's officially wiped out from the list in the Indonesian phonespace.
So I'll have to wait for the next Samsung's newest flagship Android.
as for me, i believe in rumors about new samsung nexus with android 5.0 onboard..
if it becomes not larger than 4.5" and gets nice design (w\o that s***ty pseudo-chrome around) for example comparable with our wonder, i'd make my best to get it)
A nexus of course..
This is a difficult question...
Samsung? Well, they have lately been... 'less friendly' to the dev community, to the point that Team Hacksung has declared that they will end activities on Samsung phones.
HTC? They are openly hostile to the dev community, what with the locked bootloader, unlock limits, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention that their sales are declining fast.
Motorola? Same as HTC. Although, with a new owner (the mighty GOOG himself) situation *may* change.
Nexus? No SD Card slot, 'nuff said.
That leaves only Sony, which XDA Portal itself has commended to be the most dev-friendly brand. They even provide an official bootloader unlocking page, with a helpful link to the proper forum in XDA!
So, my next phone would very likely be a Sony.
Which model? Not sure yet... I'll cross the bridge when it's time to, and not sooner (in other words, we'll see what models are available in the next 6-9 months).

Samsung Galaxy W I8150 vs Galaxy S Advance I9070

Hi,
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
Is there anyone who also has the I9070 and can give me any suggestion?
I am a bit worried about development: since our beloved I8150 is much more widespread, there's a lot more here than for the I9070, but it's just probably a matter of time... hopefully!
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, thank you very much.
I have a friend who uses I9010. Although it is good from spec, and bigger screen.. But well, XDA has only few devs. Seems it is a bit minus points since many of 'em were stock-modded.
€200 off-contract? Cheap..

Thanks for your answer.
I don't understand what you mean by "seems it is a bit minus points since many of them were stock-modded", may you please clarify that?
Re the price: 200€ off-contract, yes.
I've been watching this phone since last year and the best offers I found were 250€ at the end of November 2012, 230€ now in most of the shops. A local supermarket is going to sell it for 200€ in the next days.
So the price doesn't go down fast, but slowly it does!

Many of those ROMs were not pure AOSP/CM-based and just stock, with some mods/changes, so maybe you may expect 'bloatwares', including that useless apps etc. Well there is actually CM10.1 but it is not that reliable since mostly it is for hi-level devs (as you can see there are many bugs there including the Phone.apk (that is for the calls) so it is impossible to make calls), the BT, the Wi-Fi if I'm not mistaken. But well if you can stand that it's yours.
Also, I think the newest S4 will fit. Well its announcement is still on March 14th (15th GMT+7, if it is announced at evening in NY). And I don't think if the price would be another 200 Euros off-contract.
Again, it is your privilege to buy a new phone and leave the other. So, choose it wisely.
Maybe you can post this question to the S Advance forum so that the user of that phone can share their experience with you

I see, thanks for the info.
Well, surely CM10.0 is not usable at this development stage... but it will probably in the future, hopefully soon!
From what you write, I got the impression that Galaxy S Advance does not (and will not?) have so much development/ROMs/etc. as for our beloved Wonder...

Also, I think the newest S4 will fit. Well its announcement is still on March 14th (15th GMT+7, if it is announced at evening in NY). And I don't think if the price would be another 200 Euros off-contract.

Yep, I'm not interested in high-end devices, my budget being around 200€.
That's why Galaxy W is good for me, it does what I need for a reasonable price, imho.

Again, it is your privilege to buy a new phone and leave the other. So, choose it wisely.

That's clear.
I won't leave my Wonder completely though, since it will stay in my family.

Maybe you can post this question to the S Advance forum so that the user of that phone can share their experience with you

Thanks for your suggestion, I did that already, just trying to get as much feedback as possible from both Galaxy W and S users.

Hi,
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
Is there anyone who also has the I9070 and can give me any suggestion?
I am a bit worried about development: since our beloved I8150 is much more widespread, there's a lot more here than for the I9070, but it's just probably a matter of time... hopefully!
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, thank you very much.

Well, that's not much of a problem, we'll hopefully have some CyanogenMods sooner or later...

Well, my friend has a I9010. In fact, I9010 *did not* receive ICS. But it did receive official JB (4.1) update.

R: Samsung Galaxy W I8150 vs Galaxy S Advance I9070
Anyway a bugged cm is long way better than a stock Samsung rom. When you install a cm rom is like buying a new phone. Maybe w with cm is better than s stock...

You only say this only because you have that phone. You must be OBJECTIVE and not SUBJECTIVE.
Do you have tried this phone? No, how you can say that?

actually I would recommend you to buy S advance.
with the JB update, the phone is really smooth even without any custom rom or tweak.
But the only big problem is there is not much special tweaks and custom rom available for S advance. So when you are bored of stock S advance, there's nothing you can do unlike our lovely W with so many awesome devs.
Both phones have their own pros and cons. It's up to you.
Samsung Galaxy W Vs Samsung Galaxy S Advance = DRAW :highfive:
I do not know anything about s advance but i'm so in love at first sight with my wonder. Before bought wonder i do some search and comparing but i dont know that our lovely wonder have so many cusroms , mods , tweaks and kernel developed by many brilliant devs. And i never feel regret to bought wonder . This phone is just awesome , and completely helpful

Surely Wonder has a lot more mods, roms, etc. available.
However, I also had a chance to try the S Advance and I must say it's much more comfortable just for the slightly bigger screen. The keyboard is easier, and the GPS works perfectly in Advance whereas in my Wonder takes ages to get the fix or loses it every minute....
All in all, if I had to buy a new phone, between the 2 I'd go for the Advance I think.
I choose wonder because wonder is my device
