MIUI for Motorola Defy

Please take note of the following points.​

I am in no way affiliated with MIUIAndroid. I'm just collating information.

Quarx does not have access to MIUI sources so cannot update it or help fix their bugs. Please do not bother Quarx with this.

​

Download​

Download MIUI for Defy 1.8.5​

Download MIUI for Defy English Add-On Pack​

No Data Wipe Install​

This method assumes you already have MIUI and want to upgrade to a newer version without wiping all your data and apps.​

1. Download Latest MIUI rom and matching language pack.

2. Boot into Custom Recovery.

3. Install the rom .zip and the language pack consecutively as any other install would go.

4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.

How To Install from Scratch​

If you have 2nd Init installed already skip to step 3, if not start at step 1. These steps assume you already have flashed the Nordic Froyo rom to your Defy.​

1. Download Defy 2nd init installer, easiest way is from market.

2. Run the 2nd init installer following the instructions closely.

3. Boot into Custom BootMenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery, Custom Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5. Choose Install .zip from SD Card, select MIUI rom .zip and let it finish.

6. Let the rom boot for first time. It will be in Chinese but do not worry. Reboot into BootMenu again.

7. Select Custom Recovery, Install .zip from SD Card. Choose MIUI Eng Language Pack .zip and let it install. Let rom boot.

8. Notice some text is still Chinese, go to Settings, Language and make sure it is English UK or US. Boot into BootMenu and Custom Recovery one last time and select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.

9. Done! Enjoy!

[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
Nice to see such good structured threads. The red lettering is peraps a bit too alarming. Maybe add a FAQ section to link to answers in the same to avoid questions to be posted over an over again. Our hero Quarx could probably fix MIUI's gps in less than 15 minutes but he should be working on CM7. :D

A structured thread, with howto install, changelog, links ... was missing.

Thanks to initialize it and take the lead.

- double tap on the clock on the lockscreen to start the music player

- hold home button while on the lockscreen to start the flashlight

- long press back key to kill app (set it in settings/system/button settings)

how about battery?

better than CM7?
[Defy Android Development] javi422:
I honestly have read evey post in the three threads and have seen like 2 people say battery is not good.

Defy on CM7 b.6 w/XDA premium app.
[Defy Android Development] hanbam:
For me battery life is like on CM7 beta 4 :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah battery life seems fine to me but that's due to them using pre cm7 beta 5.1 sources. The only real battery drain with cm7 was beta 5.1.
[Defy Android Development] gsk_lnl:
2nd-init does not read my sd card. What to do? Please help.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
Not just ringtone, there's weird audio issue here. When I logged in to yahoo messenger, there's a ringing sound which can't be stopped.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Tried this, and it's beatifull, but... still not suitable for daily use. Going back to CM7 =)
[Defy Android Development] eugene373:
Had Same issue...

Sound How-to Fix:

Menu > Settings> Personalize > Sound

Always Play on Speaker:

Turn all 3 on! Notification + Ring Tones + Alarms

Above should be Posted in OP regarding sound issue's...

It's not a bug, just by Default it's set to play through the headset speaker & not the external speaker..

GPS How-to Fix:

To install, boot into 2nd-init Custom Recovery & choose .zip

( Script is based on amend, when I get a chance I update it to edify scripting for the new CwM Recovery )

Seems way too many issues when they release these things on a Friday! I guess they rush to make new releases.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
.20 to .21

sorry, for asking without try it first.

i haven't download the latest .21 build

now i'm using 1.5.20 deodexed,

from miui website: http://www.miuiandroid.com/roms

internet connection sucks here, so i prefer not to download the full release..

which one the ZIP should i install to update from .20 to .21

this: miui-ota-umts_jordan-1.5.20-1.5.21-5yygs5ewsy.zip

or this (deodexed by bihariel): update 1.5.21.zip

and last question, when i'm on .21 is the GPS fix ZIP from eugene is necessary?

because yesterday i saw the changelog, it fix the GPS and camera bug.

thank you..
[Defy Android Development] Quza:
the battery icon in the status bar seems to be black when I install it on 1.5.20​
[Defy Android Development] salimbest83:
i really blur here..

im stil on .13 last week release..

what should i do to upgrade to this .20

( do all my messages, call log,apps wil lose if update)

:confused:

tq
[Defy Android Development] Ztiffn:
today they released an new 1.5.21.
[Defy Android Development] Ztiffn:
at the moment im installing the new 1.5.21 with the german language pack....i wait eagerly :D
[Defy Android Development] mischler:
pls give us your feedback :)

works gps and camera?
[Defy Android Development] Ztiffn:
ok - at the moment is gps the only thing i can find that DONT work, but i havent tryed the fixes in first post....

funny rom :D

EDIT:

@1200Mhz - 1900 points @ quadrant....but sometimes the desk switch lags a little bit i think
[Defy Android Development] candra_aja:
What quadrant version did you use? Advanced or Standard? I guess the lags came from their hard customization UI. I change the launcher with ADW and now it smooth.
[Defy Android Development] madhuranand007:
Use backup application in the "tool" folder and take backup of ur call logs, messages, contacts etc.
[Defy Android Development] eugene373:
Drop the vm from 64 to 48 or 32 will help alot as well. 60+ isn't needed.
[Defy Android Development] candra_aja:
wow, I've noticed that the default vm for this rom is 64, I've never set the vm above 48 before :p. I'll try it. Thanks for your advice
[Defy Android Development] Ztiffn:
Where i can find this settings for virtuell memory
[Defy Android Development] candra_aja:
system/build.prop
[Defy Android Development] Jokerchris2000:
How does this affect the UI-Speed? I think the MIUI Launcher was really slow before in the 1.5.20 Build...
[Defy Android Development] Citynomad:
Download prop editor and you'll be able to edit every setting you like in the build.prop.

For your baseband problem, download baseband switcher v4 from here and flash it via custom recovery.
[Defy Android Development] scitch:
I tried to backup with the backup tool in tool folder but i am always getting a force close. Can anyone confirm that?

Sent from my Defy - MIUI ROM

@scitch

i had the same problem but i restarted my phone and it did not force close or maybe i applied the beta 1 patch dont remember exactly
[Defy Android Development] scitch:
Could you tell me where the patch is? I will try that because reboot brought nothing.
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
i meant the beta 1 english language patch
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
Any possibilities of flashing this from CM7 without flashing again with RSD ?

I've tried wiping data and cache from custom recovery and then flashing this. Ended up in a bootloop on red moto logo and couldn't enter 2nd bootmenu.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
no...

it just because CM7 use the latest bootmenu,

and miui (and cm7 too..) for now cannot be installed with latest bootmenu.

you have to back to froyo, and install older bootmenu (bootmenu installer 1.4_2 is the best), then install this miui.

beside that, you'll get bootloop, or stuck at motorola logo.
[Defy Android Development] Jojo1992:
Can i install the Language Pack German from the 1.5.13 Version?
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
No, i flash miui from cyanogenmod 7!

Only problem is that you flash the fixes (camera,GPS,language) after reboot, because MIUI INSTALL THE OLDER BOOTMENU DURING HIS INSTALLATION. Ciao!
[Defy Android Development] crazyjosi:
I restored my MIUI backup from CM7, but I installed the old Bootmenu (apk) in CM7 before, because I got an >>can't flash boot.img error with the new Bootmenu
[Defy Android Development] crazyjosi:
I'm also searching for a german language pack.

Is it possible to install a german language pack from a Nexus S for example?
[Defy Android Development] Ztiffn:
Yes, i use the german lang pack 1.5.20
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
I jumping from miui TO cm7 without problem. Remember, full wipe, data, cache And dalvik.And use 1.5.21
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
No.search the pack on miui.com
[Defy Android Development] Kamal_halder:
Screen Shots please....
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
here you not even have a German Language Pack, no a complete German Defy Rom. Everything is included.

I made it for myself but some of the people in the Android-Hilfe Forum asked about it so I uploaded it.

All fixes until now are included and it is nearly complete German ( Camera not because the Camera Fix works only with the english version right now ). Also aGPS isn't working on the Defy, but eugene said he found a fix and will publish it tomorrow.

the LINK to DOWNLOAD + CHANGELOG

works perfect on my girlfriends Defy for 3 days, it runs even everytime with 1GHZ overclocked.

Fridays changelog!

Ephumuris. Defy CM7 by Quarx.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Version: 1.5.20

I read all 23 pags, didn't see this issue with anyone else, so here goes.

My browser won't run, force closes once it loads. I downloaded Opera, Dolphin and some other one, still didn't work... Please someone, help:confused:

EDIT: Yes, I did wipe, I did clear cache both regular and dalvik... just doesn't work, really need it, please help.
[Defy Android Development] avers:
I installed the MIUI about 5 days ago. It worked without any problem.

Yesterday I had an incoming call and when I picked up, there was no sound in the speaker. I tried everything, but I had no sound in it any more. Finally I was reflash the rom. After that it worked well again. Today it did the same again. After a reflash, working again... Strange.

Is there anyone else with the same problem?

EDIT: I have found a solution on the official site. A corrupt phone.apk made these issues. It should be updated to the 1.5.21 and the Lang. pack 1b.
[Defy Android Development] Jt612:
I also had this problem and I reflashed and it fixed it for a while before happening again, in my case the fix was turning on the setting 'third party access' in call settings. The problem had something to do with themes.
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
Anybody tried update from today?
[Defy Android Development] Kovyrshin:
i second this.

Got 2.2 now, and really interested in Miui. haven't decided what to go: cm7 or this, so just checking this.

any bugs present?
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
I'm trying to download it, but it's going with 7 kb/s... If anyone knows a way to install it from CM7 without flashing with RSD, let me know. Thanks !
[Defy Android Development] DEFYdepp:
any news yet? - it's strangely quiet in here^^

i was kind of expecting more excitement for friday-updates;)
[Defy Android Development] cmvcarlos88:
Its already released but the first post isnt updated. In a forum that I usually read is posted 1.5.27 + english translation (but i am waiting for spanish one)
[Defy Android Development] avers:
Hmm.. As you said, I always changed the theme before this malfunction occurred...

If it happens again, I'm gonna try your suggestion, to turn on the "third party access".
[Defy Android Development] cmvcarlos88:
Here 1.5.27 Chinese

[Defy Android Development] :
hello there, im just going fresh install the latest one, but was wondering if they've included the battery step % from quarx or I have to flash it again just like I did on the .20 version

I also wondered If I have to install the gps fix and 3d opengls can someone answer me if they've already installed it? is there battery step % by default? thank you!
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
I'm on. 27 and none of your requested changes were made. Baterry still goes 10% and GPS doesn't work for me even with the fix.
[Defy Android Development] :
new toogles such as torch has been included, for the battery step you have to install the battery step.zip and it will go in 1% I've just done it and worked! you can also install the swype and if you wish the open gls (I haven't done and I'm going to try a few games!)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Does the CM7 battery step work then? I imagine so as it's quite a generic file that's changed. Don't imagine any miui customisations are done there.

Will install and test soon :)
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
it works fine. the only thing that doesnt let me running MIUI dialy is that i miss GPS so much. The fixes doesnt work for me.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Not even the ones he made for previous versions? They worked for me.
[Defy Android Development] thomsch:
it still laggy?
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
none of them, mate. GPS Test doesnt find nothing.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm just testing building an sbf version of newest miui then will get around to playing with gps :)
[Defy Android Development] danielck78:
Camera doesnt work. Green lense here. :(
[Defy Android Development] :
my gps worked out of the box, ephimurphis put a link to the battery step from quarx I have installed it in this version and on the .20 one and it worked in both. I have 1% battery step now! hehe
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
You would think they'd have learnt the cameras by now :(
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Update to language pack...
[Defy Android Development] andemort:
Does this mean that it will be possible not to use 2nd init? And what other perks of doing this?

Would you please post you sbf mix?)))
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Successfully built and flashed an sbf of miui. Need to update it to new language pack now though and possibly other fixes...

Will post once finished experimenting :)
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
How is the UI especially in settings compared to the prev. version ? It was very laggy on .21
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
im waiting forward to your release ed murphy :>)
[Defy Android Development] andemort:
Very well))
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Tut due to file size it will take around 2 hours to upload at 45kbps :( Not sure it will even work for other people too. I know it works for me as i repeatedly tried to format system and clear data then re-flash sbf. Boots every time.

I think we need to keep 2nd init for flashing update zips in recovery and also adb access before boot etc.

The rom still feels a little bit slower than cm7 but definitely usable.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
yayyyy gimme gimme d/l link
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Upload failed so back to start...stupid large file and poor internet.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
oh common edmurphys

so send me it via pando or something hehehe

cant wait to have GPS running on MIUI
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
The FMRadio doesn't work because the fmradiosever exits with the following error:

Maybe this helps fixing that.
[Defy Android Development] thomsch:
it's still laggy?
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
no lag at UI here, it running at 1Ghz, without any wallpaper (black screen). smooth and stable, the only thing i miss is GPS, here it doesnt work, applied all patches.

camera worked out of the box after a clean install 1.5.27, green lense here.

applied battery 1% patch from CM7, and installed Circular Battery Indicator, this is a nice combination for battery monitoring.

EA Tetris doesnt run, even after applied bihariel´s openGL patch.

Im here waiting for the .sbf version that my friend ephumuris just built. In this version, he fixed some issues, mainly GPS one.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
GPS is work out of the box in .27

but aGPS is not working..

is there any workaround for aGPS yet?

I tried this ROM, just because of curiosity.

I really like the UI and style of this, but the progress isn't quite as far as the CM7 one. I'm looking forward to a working aGPS, some performance-tweaks and will come back to this in a few weeks :)

[Defy Android Development] ziggys101:
Thats what ive been doing but if i choose % or graphical i cant see anything only when I select top bar do i see anything.

Ive noticed it moves the other icons in the topbar so its as if the battery icon has changed colour to the same as the backgound thats why i cant see it. but i have no idea how to change it back to white

Why the defy always keep in the moto logo screen, after flash the miui zip file by 2nd menu ?? Can somebody tell me ??? btw, the same process to flash CM7 is ok! why miui always fail ? my base rom use the 3.4.3.177-5
[Defy Android Development] avers:
The icon should be changed if you change the theme.

Look around on your Defy, maybe some 3rd party app changes your battery icon! If you can't find the reason, make a backup and try to do a full wipe!
[Defy Android Development] ziggys101:
In the end I had to wipe and start again but all good now.
[Defy Android Development] stunno:
I flashed this yesterday and so far it is excellent! Very fast and smooth and everything I have tried has worked - well GPS didn't work in iGo but did in my golf GPS program, but I haven't tried iGo again so it may be working.

My only slight niggle, and it is only slight, is the carrier name being in the notification bar. My eyesight isn't what it was (it's an age thing) and I rely on the fact that anything in the notification bar means I have to put my glasses on to check. Now there is always something there and I cannot distinguish notifications from vodafone uk.

Is there any way to remove it, please?
