I can't wait until it gets here!
Overall how is the phone? I've been hearing that the battery life is not great.
But is there a kernel that would fix the battery life or even make the phone better?
the phone is really good, and yea, battery life isn't great until you root and install a custom firmware (cyanogenmod...etc.)
you will be happy when you start playing with it, and if you feel it's too big, just wait a day for that feeling to go away.
welcome to the group!
the hd screen is beautiful !
the device has a lot of horsepower !!
use cm9 rc1 for best battery life and performance !
welcome to the club !

paranoid android is a cm9 hybrid rom !!
it is a great rom with multiple modes like tablet mode and all !!
but it has some bugs to be cleared out and some random fc's !
you can always flash and taste different roms though !
good luck ! :laugh:
Personally I get the best battery life and smoothest experience with the ICS leak.

ICS is fast and smooth, but I agree with you. It's battery life isn't the greatest. Of course I'm a heavy user.

Why are you trying Flex for a500 when the dev took time to build one for the a100 in the dev section?

Just remember to flash the kernel if you have camera issues.

Sosei is great for customization, gaming, and multimedia such as netflix.
GPS does not work, and possibly HDMI AUDIO OUT, video ok.
Its my daily driver, solid ROM, supports tabui and phabui switching.
Stock kernel packed in is a great kernel but limited options.
Godmachine kernel is great, but GPU overclocking tends to cause artifacts/glitching of UI.

How's the battery life on Sosei? I flashed the Flex ROM two days ago and so far noticed great battery life. I've been using it very lightly though. I remember how horrid stock battery life was!

It depends on your usage. There are only few kernels why don't you try them all and stick with the one you like the most.

If battery life is the most important thing to you, I would recommand you NCX-217, as smooth as stock kernel, after several days usage, I found it stabel too.

Tks for replying man, Really I'd like better results on Benchmarks as well stabiliy, I can sacrifice a little battery..well, it's hard to find a Balance between "forces"... lol
..but your suggestion is take in consideration.
A Little question more... Do I have to reinstall ROM after flashing a new Kernel or I can let it the same way?

Hello
I've stop counting after 2000 hours spending flashing roms on my defy...
I came to a conclusion that no ICS/JB version will be good. everything I've tried eventually ended up with a slow rom that interfere daily use.
so I'm a bit disappointed about it cause I had to get back to CM7.2.
I've searched all over the net - what is the fastest rom for defy...and all forums say it's the CM7.
If someone can think of other version that works faster please let me know.
I really need FAST phone, and willing to flash an old rom, but to get stability and speed.
thanks for helping!
and thanks to all dev's that gave their souls in order to bring the newest rom to that old phone.

Already tried that before posting :victory:
anyway, it is a bit slower than latest Quarx Build.
korto is right:
korto said:
+1
I tried V5 and V5.1. Both are based on Quarx 0409. V5.1 is supercharged, and is slower then original Quarx.
Rom has AOKP weather icons and some tweaks and cherries. Apex is default launcher, battery life is worst than original.
There are 3 versions for defy+, normal, overclocked and undervolted.
Good rom but latest Quarx`s nightly is much fluid.
Developer of this rom (Defy +++ from Androidhilfe) will released next version based on latest Quarx in couple few days.

the problem with ms2g is that after a while, it start to be sooo sloooww....
I was using ms2g for a long time...really liked that rom.
I think you all just need to admit what morotola realized long time ago... the defy cannot support further then GingerBread..
Try paranoid android its fast and almost stable.
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.

Theres always that one asshole lol I do know what Google is and how to use it. What I'm asking is for peoples experience on what is the best kernel to use in conjunction with CM9 is.

Thank you. Have you tried this kernel yet? In your opinion is this the best kernel for CM9 and our device or are you using JB like most of everyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

Unfortunately for your situation I am using JB like the rest because I find it more up-to-date, but I have heard really good things about the kernel I posted. Plus, with a title like that, who wouldn't flash it?

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

I'm very disappointed to hear that! MIUI is so sleek and sexy! Why is it so damn hard to get working? ... or is there just a lack devs for that ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
When I was running MIUI my only problem was not being able to shut off the capacitive lights. I had no problems with bootloops or anything of that sort.
I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.
