It may sound stupid to you but when I installed this rom the icons in the menu were in boxes, then I installed the patch-updater and rebooted the icons weren't in bosex and when i go to, like, settings the background isn't black but it is the same as my desktop wallpaper. And I wasn't able to connect my google account to the phone until I istalled the updater. I want to ask had this happened to you??
And again, please don't laugh at my questing, I just want to know if it is normal or something is wrong. Thanks in advance

EDIT: 4questions !
Hi guys. I just installed the 2.2 update via OTA, but now i got "3 little problems". Since i didnt find them via search buttom, i'd like to ask them here.
1.- Most settings are the same as before (2.1), but for example, Google Talk changed my nickname, from my name to my e-mail. I know there was a way to change it, but i dont find the way to...
I know people can change my nickname, so each one sees me with the nickname they want, but the "default one" was my name and now's my e-mail
2.- Facebook events + brithdates. Is there a way to disable them? I got all kind of connections from facebook disabled.. but dont find this new feature so i can disable it.
3.- Flash. I found on market Adobe Flash Player 10.1. Wasn't it supposed to be enabled by default? I mean. Should i install it? Is it better than default? I dont understand anything since i read that 2.2 came with default 10.1... but there's an app, from Adobe.
4.- Is is recommended to do a hard reset after updating? I mean. I got all apps from 2.1 installed. And since I update, none of them were removed, etc. Do I lose some speed or something if i dont hard reset? Maybe Hard Reseting + Reinstalling ALL apps make my device to run EVEN smoother and faster than it does. (It goes faster now than before with 2.1, but maybe...)
See you soon and thanks for all!!!
Bump !!!

I believe HTC have just included this in their ROM.

I quick off-and-on again or battery pull if it slows down should suffice.
So 2.- Solved 100%
Still need help on:

3.-
4.-
Since 2 is exactly what we needed and 1,3,4 are things that you believe. Thank you very much !!!
w8ing for more answers
3 - included as default in the official rom
4 - always recommended when installing a new system, if not this could lead to bugs and performance issues. The official froyo is also odexed there's a chance your apps may conflict. if you have the time to hard reset then it's defo recommended.
don't know about the google talk thing though sorry.

3. and 4. answered
1. is still missing

Hey "I was" a noob too with Android! I just got my first android phone January and I really didn't know what to do with it!
Well, where to start, it's easy.
Just go to settings and all the apps, and explore all the options and features of the Defy!
Like that you will know your phone very well.
Then you would like to download apps and widgets and live wallpapers!
You will test them and with time you will know what are the good/pros and bad/cons applications.
There is the stock launcher, but it can be replaced by another launcher that you can download from market! (ex: Go launcher EX, LauncherPro, etc)
You will notice that The homescreens and app drawer will be completely different, and it's 100% safe.
If you wish to root the devices and install new ROMS, just wait.
Yes. Wait for about 3 months to know well the world of Android before trying dangerous things that could brick your phone.
If you just got the Defy, do the basic things like play movies/musics, take photos, install new apps,etc.
Hope it helped you!!
If you have other questions, I'll help you
OK, since I wish that someone took the time to reply to me when I first got my defy and posted a similar question here, I will throw in some suggestions to you.
First, make sure that your PC has the latest Motorola drivers installed.
Second, learn how to Root your phone --> probably with Super1click
[you did not tell us which firmware you have so it's hard to point you in a specific direction here]
.
Then once that's done:
Instead of using the default "Files" --> use Astro file manager;
Instead of using the stock browser --> use Dolphin HD;
Protect your phone with AVG free (antivirus) and DroidWall (firewall);
Use Titanium Backup to make copy of your apks and settings and to "freeze" the bloatware on your phone;
Use SetVSel (needs Milestone overclock to run) to lower the cpu voltages and under/overclock your cpu and save battery*;
*: just did that myself and after > 10 hours since unplugged, my phone is still showing battery at 100% !!! [set to: 22/300 - 34/600 - 46 Vsel/900 MHz]
Learn to install/use ClockWorkmod (CWM) recovery and RSD Lite for Nandroids/ROMs flashing.
That should keep you busy for a while but it's nothing too hard and I'd say that all this is the very minimum that every Defy user should know and do to get the max out of their phone.
And if I may add:
1- forget about animated wallpapers: they just waste battery power
and
2- before playing with themes, lauchers and custom ROMs [which -like everything- are NEVER "100% safe"...even if it is for human error..] you should master all the items on my list first...
Good luck! I hope this helps.
on goodness jb rom there is a goodness update section that allows you to download all sorts of cool stuff. after i download something...like a widget or whatever...how do install it ? do i use twrp install or is there some other method?
how do you unistall it or change it back? for example a bootscreen animation...if i dont like it, can i change it back to what it was before or something different?
also, on goodness jb - is there a way to make the notification drop down window have a full background rather than be 80% opacity ?
also, in exchange server, i have everything setup correctly for my work email. but when i goto my email it says its loading...but it stays like that with the circle loading icon and nothing ever loads up. Had our IT guy check the settings and they are right, but the phone wont connect
any help with these is greatly appreciated
any help with this?

I've never flashed the goodness ROM. If I have time tonight I'll d/l and load it up to see what I need to do. I'll post my findings tomorrow sometime.
For some reason i am not able to remove the Quick Memo+ icon from quick settings. Everytime i remove it from EDIT menu, the icon comes back after phone restart. Even if I move the icon to the last, it would come back to the first place after restart. Same goes for Quick Remote. Anyone else has seen this behavior? I dont know what to do.
same problem here... i also don't know what it is.
do you have g3 tweakbox installed?
I have nothing installed, not even rooted.
which version you are now? i'm on 10F
10G here.
For clarity. This problem started when I bricked my phone and restored it somehow. Since then I had to download the quick memo+ from LG update center.
Same here, using 10F - Just figured it was a bug

You will need to root your device and use titanium backup to uninstall it. Otherwise you can freeze it from apps.
