Wanted to know which Modifications/Hacks are you, other users, using for our device?
Currently I don't have any of them, because of nightly builds, but in future I could use some of them for tweaking my device.
Ron G had in his CM7.2 thread[before official CM7 support] some info about Modifications/Hacks, are they availaible or lost permanently?

Currently, using Jboogie's Rom. I haven't used the new roms based on UK versions yet. Anyway, just came across CM7 RC has just released.

I know its not possible to replace the kernel in Defy. Yet, is it possible that the rom itself can be ported on top of the current available ROMS? Not just the themes, but some functions as well.
I love my defy, but the locked bootlader is taking a huge toll in defy development.
I'd recommend you to check their forums. There are some people that are already talking about this.
But as far as I got it, until the signing key problem is not solved (there are some rumors that Motorola might release it), nobody is going to come up with an CyanogenMod for the Defy.
an official one is not likely unless moto unlocks the bootloader. bcs the bootloader restricts moto-signed kernels and cyanogenmod makes edits to the kernels.
that being said, milestone has got cyanogenmod, they grabbed a cyanogenmod-compatible kernel from a certain brazilian rom and so...
could someone please make a reference post sticky to discourage people from asking this again and again and again

The CyanogenMod user install base has hit the 500,000 mark, according to the stats released by the CM team. This is across all devices, and includes unofficial versions in the numbers. Some interesting totals are 502,364 total installs, 376,066 of which are official while 126,298 are unofficial, or "kangs". We also get a glimpse into the number of installations per device -- you can see the full list at the source, but here's the top five (with install numbers as of Saturday evening):
HTC Desire 70,630
HTC EVO 4G 39,654
Motorola Defy 28,956
Nexus One 26,707
Motorola Droid 21,335

I just wondering:
1. Are Motorola defy really that popular? Or is it widely used by geeks like Nexus devices?
2. Or We widely us CM from quarx because there are not much good alternative ROM?
3. Why Cyanogen doesn't officially supported this devices, if cyanogen is widely use in this devices, more than other official devices?
I want to use CM for my defy, but still waiting for stable one. I hope if it's officially supported, there will be faster development and have nightly rom.
Sorry for my English, I just want to get this out of my chest.
That's because of the locked bootloader in the Defy - you can only load officially released (or leaked) roms into the Defy because the bootloader checks this when using RDSlite to flash a sbf. So CM cannot produce a version for the defy. The best that can happen is if there is an official or leaked version of Android OS for the Defy with the same version kernel as what CM uses (Android 2.3.4), is for a hacker to take all the nice goodies from CM and restore them via a nandroid backup onto a fixed sbf which has been stripped of all the built-in stuff without breaking it.
So that means you have to wait for a kind hacker to do this hacking for you and post the results for all to use.
That is as far as my understanding goes.

The devs of the defy port are working in make official..
but i don't see any difference in being official or not..
Perhaps, because development of CM7 in defy is in Release Candidate.
M usind Dev's CM7 on my defy.. it having a tons of bugs, hope they release it officially for DEFY.
maybe because is in early develpment
Dev works on get CM7 offical.

I wonder why CyanogenMod gave it official status. I thought that CM requires that the mod be compiled from source, and as the Defy bootloader is still locked it makes it impossible to compile the kernel (And the kernel used in Defy CM7 is just ripped out of another ROM).
I wonder how sustainable the development would be if CM moves to a new kernel that isn't available for the Defy.
What bugs.... you don't know what you are talking about...
It's very stable, i have been using RC1v2 for the last weeks and no reboots no hang no lag, i have 60 apps installed and use every resource the phone has every day.
Other ROM, official or not is "flinstone" compared to CM7.
Sorry for the hard conclusion but it's the truth.
It's no one's fault that Motorola has done a superficial work with defy's drivers... camera for ex... because the defy is a budget smartphone. I understand now Apple's policy... at least they try to make the best software optimization for the device(not talking about features that iOS has or not in comparison to Android)... not an apple fan but i hate Motorola's lack of support for devices... way to many.
Happy that google made them support the devices 18 months after launch.

what is the different between official cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod FX043 built by FXP....and what is the advantage between them...
if u are the user, which of this will u use...
First.. Development section is not for Q&A
Second I would assume both are the same. FXP uses the same source of official CM.
simply adapted for ARC?
i use the official CM ROM from their site, i originally use the FXP one and it didnt have the vibrations, i eventually realised the official CM one was on a later version (FXP was cm7.0.1 i think and official was on cm7.0.3 or something) but it fixed the slight issues i had.
other than that, i dont see a difference.
i use doom kernel with official CM image though.
anyone knows who's making the nightly's? and where to find a change log?

how many use dualboot and secodary roms???
Please participate in the poll
I'm asking for a new project
Hopefully soon
As long as no clear method is present to show you how to dualboot CyanogenMod 10.1 and 11, probably no one is interested as two ROMs, 4.0.4 and 4.2.2, aren't much of a treat (btw It's the only working combination I got to work but still..)
why not cm11 and cm10.1 ?
I actually use cm11 as primary and cm 10.1 as secondary
I had cm10 and 10.1 and 10.2 as secondary
what matters in the secondary rom is it must use a non ion build
so
the best builds are
cm 10 final
cm10.1 beta 1
cm10.2 beta 4
and any build before that
or any rom that does not use ion kernels
My Gratitude to theonepharaoh
God bless you, dear friend. Your post, right up there, has helped me so much and now I understand how the secondary ROM functions on the ancora. Thanks to you, I now dual-boot Dark CyanogenMod beta3 by the elite Osama, and CyanogenMod 10.1 beta1 by Sir Arne, both ROMs modded and tweaked "custom-ly" by me to match my preferences. As for the tutorial, It's nothing I did, but the experienced user Daniel did back in the 3rd of December on his CM9 and Beam Kat. What a magnificent feature to have on such a powerful device..
question
Hi everyone, I asked for the benefit of the use of dualboot and secodary roms. help me
Look, I've been out of the rom game for a while but I'm trying to get back in. Sure, theres probably another thread about this but oh well. I just want to know whats the best KK rom (stability wise) available now. I need something with stable LTE & 3G and not many bugs. That's it that's all. Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate it.
PA has been treating me great recently, along with Vanir and the unofficial Gee version of CM11 (NOT the gproj official version).
