[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
MIUI and CyanogenMod7 on the Motorola Bravo!!!

Anything you do to YOUR phone is YOUR fault, not mine.

MIUI and CM7 are already pre-rooted and pre-overclocked (to 1ghz) though you can still use BandroidX's overclock app
​

Directions to install MIUI:​

You need to be on the stock rom before you install anything. Use this SBF, then root it with superoneclick

A nandroid installation is the only way for you to install

This installation might lead you to a bootloop, I'm working on a fix (you can still flash an sbf though)​

1. Sbf to 2.2.1

2. Root and enable non-market apps with superoneclick

3. Download and install bandroidx's custom recovery app

4. Bootstrap recovery

5. Boot into the recovery and wipe data/cache and dalvik cache (advanced>wipe dalvik cache)

6. Select restore backup

7. Select MIUI_1.7.22_nandroid

8. Confirm

9. Reboot and enjoy!!

FYI, no need to do the signal fix because it is already implemented​

Note: When/if you boot into bootmenu after installing MIUI and select recovery> custom recovery, it will bring you to 2 choices: latest recovery and stable recovery. These recoveries are Motorola Defy recoveries but they still work on the Bravo. You can make backups and you can restore and install .zips. Some things might be broken since it is a Defy recovery. There is no way to boot into BandroidX’s recovery.​

BUT, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, these are the problems (which are very minimal considering this wasn't even developed for the Bravo):​

1. No working camera/camcorder

2. Signal is very poor when you manage to get one. It doesn't have a signal for 99% of the time, but when it gets a signal, it's only 1 bar.<--- FIXED go to post #2

3. That's all I could gather, if there is anything else, don't hesitate in commenting!

Links/downloads:​

nandroid download version number 1.7.22 (7/22/11)

2ndInit (below)

Thanks to:​

All the credit for the actual ROMs goes to the Defy developers (don't know specifics) who made the 2ndInit, MIUI and CM7 Roms.

abhi897 for answering some of my questions

Note: I will NOT be releasing any actual roms (yet). All I will be releasing are fixes for the Defy ROM running on the Bravo (camera fix, signal fix, and any other problems)​

CyanogenMod7 on the Motorola Bravo​

Again, all credit goes to the Defy developers (except for the fixes posted here)

To install, you have to restore a CM7 nandroid backup. Otherwise you will have problems.​

This is assuming you are on stock Bravo 2.2. If not, use THIS sbf, then root it with superoneclick

The nandroid installation method does NOT have GAPPs installed already, but the signal fix was implemented​

1. Extract THIS nandroid to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

2. Make sure you have BandroidX's recovery bootstrapper installed and working

3. Make a Titanium backup (you need this to restore your apps)

4. Reboot into BandroidX's Recovery

5. Make a backup (for yourself)

6. Wipe data/factory reset/dalvik cache

7. Restore the CM7 nandroid backup you downloaded

8. Wipe cache in stock recovery

9. Reboot and enjoy!

Attention: reboot before you install GAPPs​

Note: When/if you boot into bootmenu after installing CM7 and select recovery> custom recovery, it will bring you to 2 choices: latest recovery and stable recovery. These recoveries are Motorola Defy recoveries but they still work on the Bravo. You can make backups and you can restore and install .zips. Some things might be broken since it is a Defy recovery. There is no way to boot into BandroidX’s recovery.​

(to bypass activation screen, just touch 4 corners of the popup)​

Problems:​

1. No working camera (even 3rd party apps)

2. Capacitive touch buttons are mapped wrong (aka the buttons are "shifted to the left") This is how it acts:<-- Fixed in nandroid update

3. Signal is also bad <-- Fixed in post #2
