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.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956196
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
it's a very know fact that maximum of the devices from Indian brands never have access to these well known rooms while they have good specifications. Why is it so?
yes Roms from other devices are ported to the Indian brand mobiles but it doesn't match my expectations.
If these senior respected developers can somehow show some love to Indian brand mobiles, it would be great.
It's my personal thinking. Yours can differ.

I don't see someone helping us in the near future..
I doubt there would be custom ROMS..

see..
what i have understood is.. basically custom roms are developed for whom, whose official roms are pathetic and have loads of bloatwares.
indian brands do not take load to customize the rom and barely put few bloatwares resulting low cost mobile fones.
these are stock androids are i feel are very stable wrt performance. :good:
we only have option to play with launchers :fingers-crossed:

But still then those roms provide us with extra features that stock rom don't...
CM PA

Yes I agree. It also provide performance improvement options. Optimization on various things and near possibility to do any things. Problem is we need some sources based on CM or PA to start with MTK devices. Hopes one day will have it. Then we will start it.

Mtk devices are in market from so long and still nothing happened.... Still waiting..
The main problem!
CM, Paranoid, AOKP, AOSP are some great ROM's indeed! However, I believe Mediatek does not release it's kernel source, in other words, It's kernels are 'Closed Source'. Cyanogenmod requires a custom kernel to be built and compiled, for that, complete kernel source is needed. A few leaked sources for MT6589 made first CM possible. Until MTK changes it's mind, its very much impossible to see all those quality ROM's for our handsets. I also think that there is a petition on change.org, requesting Mediatek to make everything open source. You can sign it, I have signed it as well.

Can you give me the link to that petition as I am unable to find it?

If that's true, then it's a great news...
Nobody has the guts to develop a new kernel for the latest firmware, 4.4.2 KitKat?!! This phone needs a stable kernel to achieve its potential. If you are working at something, please post here your work and are a few people happy to help with testing. Come on, guys, make a better kernel!

Please, tell me where did you saw the kernel source code for Android 4.4.2 because I want to download ...
I didn't... But I know a guy (Franco) that a few years ago made a kernel for LG Optimus One without the source. The best kernel I ever installed! And that little LG O1 run better then that a lot of smartphones today.

Hi, yes you're right, you can make a kernel without it's source, but its nearly impossible on a device with so many closed-source-drivers usw. . Also you need to know very much about the way our phone works, many details usw.
I would simply say, noone can Reverse Engineer the P6-Kernel, and those who can will not do this for a decive with such a little community
EDIT:
The only possibility to create a working kernel would to try porting a kernel from the P7-Sources
But anyone ask nicelly for that source code?
Discuss about the possibility of this phone having custom ROMs!
What I think is that it should be possible for custom kernels, custom ROMs requires Mediatek frameworks and hardware which requires Mediatek's source code.
I've emailed in to Sony and Mediatek regarding this issue (I'm pretty sure they might just ignore, but yea without trying it will never happen)
any news about custom roms ?
Any hope for custom roms? :/
A lot of stuff has released on Z5 that I have a hinch some might be compatible but we have no recovery to try.
I guess not any/enough devs have an M5 unfortunately
So no good news for the nearcoming future.
It was like this with Xperia Arc it was Qualcomm processor and still passed more than a half year till the recovery came and then later the roms.It will come out but we need to wait with mediatek smartphones it's harder but it doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Even if it doesn't happen it's still good as it is.we have root xposed what do we need more.I understand that a lot of people like customizing i do to but hey it's not the end of the world.

It's not the end of the world but we still haven't got android marshmallow and i bet we won't get android nougut. Nougut looks so awesome

Unfortunately the m5 isn't that popular I doubt there'll be anything other than modified stock and that's only if Someone has one to release recovery+mods for. The m2 was and still is a popular device but custom roms barley exist for it there isn't even a fully working mm rom for it m5 will be sonys next t3 I think
Sony released kernel sources for m5?
M5 was re called in the UK replaced with the Z5
I got the kernel source for the SM-J100VPP, and am planning to recompile the kernel with unlocking support, any ideas? If I can get a bootloader unlock on this device, anyone interested in a custom rom? (I'm new to XDA, if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move.)
I'm game for a custom ROM. Good luck, it will be amazing if you get this phone unlocked....
