AGREED!

G3 and G5 use a different chipset althoghter

It can never be possible

@MODS Delete this thread!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Kick @ss Dude! I hope I didn't steal your second post.

EDIT: Cool. I gave the first thanks on this too! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
honestly i forgot all about it. i've been up for like 20 hours straight. I went through, updated all the apps and tried to slim it down a little. I added the ziggy kernel, and it's so smooth (if it's possible to be more than it was.) thanks again.

I'll update OP with changes in the future.

Thanks again to all that helped me out, and were involved before I came along.

Rom boots and runs GREAT. Able to be used as a daily, i'm calling alpha because i plan to do a lot of work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Interesting. I will have to try this out later. Hopefully it'll be a slow day at work lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
Please do, and let me know what you think.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Have you tested this with Chad's Froyo Incredikernel? If not, I'll flash that after I get around to flashing this ROM and report back.

EDIT: After I test the ROM with the kernel you use, of course.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
No I haven't tried his incredikernel yet, but as long as its an aosp froyo compatible kernel it should work. I'll download now and try.

Edit:

Installed and running just as smooth, i'm not a benchmark guy anymore. If you want to compare with quadrant go right ahead.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Ok cool. I've been on my phone a decent amount today and am waiting on a couple calls, so if I can't get to it today I'll get it tonight. Looks really cool. I am running NilsP's 3.5. Gingersense at the moment which is really good. I would prefer an AOSP ROM but the stock look is too boring to me and MIUI is too iPhone like, although it has some really cool looking themes. This may be just what I'm looking for lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
Thanks for trying. All credit goes to those listed in OP. right now its just updated (apps) and slimmed down. But there are things in motion. Hopefully this takes off again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Yep, no problem. And by stock look, I meant like what you would get on a Nexus or a standard AOSP ROM, not this. Hope I didn't cause any confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Darkangel2002:
Man this is awesome so far, I have tried a lot of different roms and this is by far the one I like the most. Thank you :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
@Bull, I figured that was what you meant.

@Dark, I was away from the Inc for a while. But this was my favorite ROM. I'm hoping to get it bug free. And i'm going to try my hardest to get a GB version, if we can get a system dump. I've got a couple emails out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Just flashed it and I've let it settle in a bit. This is great so far. I'll play around with it later on tonight and report back any bugs or suggestions, but so far so good. android.process FC'd when it first booted up but, like you said, it didn't affect anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
if you press back button when language selection screen pops up, English is default and you wont get the FC. but it doesn't affect anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
So far the only issue I've seen is GPS doesn't work in navigation, unless it takes a while to lock on and I just want patient enough. Other than that it's rock solid.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
I noticed that to, I think its a little sluggish for lock on. I use foursquare and wasn't pinpoint like usual
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dtraini7:
Have you tried it using the "Faster Fix" app on the market? That may help it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
I'll look into it. If it works good, i'll contact the Dev and try to include it in the next release if GPS isn't 100%
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gatormark08:
that was with light to moderate use, about 50 text (sent and received) and periodic facebook/ twitter checks/updates.

Thanks so much for restarting this project. I loved this rom when jermaine was doing it and was really disappointed to see it stop. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us. Flashing now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odshock:
Hey man thanks for working on this :) love it, but the light thing I'm not sure what its called..it usually comes on when your on a call stays on its a barely visible red light just thought I might share.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jtpstealth:
Downloading now. Welcome back. Glad to see you got away from the X. :) I'll be flashing this afternoon and let you know what I find. Good luck getting the GB port up on it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:

AOSP Sweetness

Flashed this last night and must say I really dig the UI. This is what development is all about. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but once you play around with it and become acclimated it's awesome.

Also flashed chad's 4-15 froyo incredikernel with it and running very smooth. Thanks @ all devs associated :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpjj225:
Hate to be "that guy" but REALLY bored in class and was wondering how this was coming along. Noticed it hasn't been posted on in like a month. And I can't be the only one that checks this thread almost daily haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
No its still in my Projects folder. I got a system dump from the gingerbread version. I'm still learning more about deving. I can push another update for this out tonight (more than just updated apps). But like you, I'm a student too, so some things get pushed to the side. I'll stay on it. Knowing even one person checks in about this could be motivation enough. I'll pm you when I have something ready.

Added a script from my senseless ROM for kicks. Lol. @1.13
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpjj225:
Haha nice! Wow look at what I started. I knew I couldn't be the only one. But yeah I know how it is. Would like to know what you mostly messed with when you first started to learn. I'm a comp science major and always thought about playing with roms but haven't really had the time yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Add me on gtalk. I'm having a couple minor issues with this right now, but I'm always down to talk android.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
I too would love to use some of the new work on this rom. I had used it awhile back when the first version was out.. the ui is what makes it sick... keep us updated for sure..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Sorry guys who were waiting for an update yesterday, I noticed a couple issues. I'll try my hardest for something by tonight/tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xsatanx:
Can't wait for this..was a huge fan of the original,wish I still had it sometimes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpjj225:
You're good man, take your time. I was just curious about how things were coming along. I'm pretty sure everyone following this is pretty patient considering this rom has basically been in development for like a year. Good luck with the problems though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I finished the other project i had been working on, i'm already b*lls deep in this right now. I know how it feels knowing an update is coming and then not seeing it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I've got the fixes in place, apps are updated, should be smoother. I'll upload after i get some food.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BBEgo:
This is my first senseless Rom pretty much EVER (flirted with Evervolve for a few days once), and I'm pretty impressed. It's gonna take some getting used to, but I'm gonna try it out. I'm having FCs in settings when I select Display. Is this common?

Gonna try a dalvik wipe/permissions fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
Nice to see this is being updated. Downloading now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
Downloading now, will flash in the morning aand start setting it up.. looking forward to it. Excellent work..

.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reggie cheeks:
Up and running. Love this ui. Thanks for resurrecting it.. no probs to report.

Edit... some fc's in settings. But Ive yet to try work arounds, just enjoying the look and feel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I took out optint for dolby, just haven't had a chance to clean up settings. What is fc ing?

Sent Using Telepathy
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reggie cheeks:
Display. I didn't format after wiping. Im gonna try a fresh install & actually follow suggested install procedure. Thanks.

And now... flashed again, this time with formatting, as suggested. Fixed permissions. Display settings still fc'ing. BUT, I am loving liquid metal so, oh well for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
I had the fc on display aswell. There was fc in other settings too but I forgot which..

I made a call to a friend while in the rom and he was unable to hear me. I switched to my wife's phone and he had no problem.. so unsure what could cause that..

The ui of this rom is what makes it so sick. It would be awesome to see some governor Settings included. That one of he main reasons why I always flash back to cm7..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bull_Moose:
I was getting fcs in "display" as well. Also, some apps on the Market claim to not be compatible with the device. (Facebook, Quickpic) Why is that? The Market thinks I'm running whatever device this ROM is originally from?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpjj225:
Display fc has been there since the beginning of this rom. That's why the brightness app is included. Don't use Facebook, but quickpic is working fine for me. I don't think it will work downloading from the market on the computer, but the phone one should work fine.

I do get a phone fc sometimes though. Happens when I'm in an app and someone calls me...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baboonsRus:
Minor issue, but is it possible to get icons instead of a counter for the apps that stay in the notification bar? I have a couple in there and it makes me think I have messages.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grazamataz:
okay i'll preface this by saying i read all the way through the Vibrick thread and any others i could find on this subject.

i was running NeroV3, decided to try CM7. made a dumb move (apparently?) by restoring back to my stock 2.2 backup via CWM, then flashing to CM7 and THEN trying to flash the Overstock kernel (these steps should be reversed?). i wiped the cache and dalvik cache, but then the kernel flash failed ("installation aborted"), so i rebooted, which went fine. i used ROM Manager to get back to recovery, tried flashing the kernel again, failed again, hit reboot, and then my phone got stuck on the Vibrant screen.

I tried every 3-button combo (also with battery pulls) to get to Download mode but nothing works. when i plug in the USB the spinny-working-hourglass thing pops up but freezes, the green charging bar does not come up, and it does not go to download mode.

when not plugged in, it just keeps returning to the Vibrant screen. i can't even get it to turn off without pulling the battery. i'm definitely not comfortable trying the solder method.

any help is appreciated - i'm not giving it long til i take it to t-mobile and play dumb, worst comes to worst i'll just get a cheapo replacement from the store and find another vibrant (or similar) used on craigslist.

thanks!

UPDATE:::

got the phone into download mode thanks to a thread by Dolphinwigs. had to do have odin open when replacing the battery/holding volume up/down.

waiting on the stock rom download now (internet is slow). hopefully all goes well from here...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
The biggest issue I find is that people give up on ODIN to easily. Getting into download mode is not that hard but also not that easy eiither. This is why everyone should purchase a jig, never give up on ODIN try it a thousand times and then once more. Always have ODIN up and ready with the proper files on hand, and as soon as it connects to ODIN be ready to make shyt happen.

In your case an ODIN flash should get you where you need to be and after you root again flashing to CM7 should not be an issue. Keep in mind if you use the .tar in ODIN as well as the .pit you will lose everything on both internal/exteral SD. At this point unless you made a backup prior to your issue its really a lost cost.

Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grazamataz:
i am now back up and running, i just didn't realize i needed Odin running when i tried to go to download mode. so simple, but so frustrating.

one thing though, the ROM i got is Eclair. do i need to update to FroYo before flashing CM7?

and also, so i do it right this time, do i flash the Overstock kernel BEFORE i flash CM7? or does it matter?

anyone know how to cm7 contact.apk background image
[Defy General] v2dare:
gt 2.1 as pre isntalled on my defy and upgraded to 2.2 with Motorola software 2 months back.

and now rooted my defy and plans to install to cm7 to experience its power.

googled lot. found methods like this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16431459&postcount=7

Bt before that i m little confused about some doubts as i read lot on XDA-developer.

another method

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13279140&postcount=1

now what i understand one method use RSD lite to flash the ROM into Phone which can be done by connectiong phone to PC and another jst do upgrade from phone directly.

1. is this right or anythng more than what i understood.

2. can i upgrade from Original Stock froyo in india to Cm7 2.3 .

3. CM7 is a complete OS. so it wont matter what ROM u curerntly have if its upgradation .

4. do i need a nandroid backup to install Cm7. as far i understood i need a nandroid backup only if i downgrade to Stock os and want my setting and apps back in phone.

5. is there cm7 2.3 country specfic. where will i get a fixed-cm7 version so that i can downgrade to stock froyo later.

6. Do i need to backup my current OS ???

hopes someone will clear these doubts .. seems reading lot will also make u confused ... someone do have any other good link of upgradation tutorial .. ?? plz share that ...

Thanks in advance and sorry for my non formal english ... :):)
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Ok it's pretty simple. Do following.

1.> Root the device using 2ndInit

2.> Create nanodroid backup

3.> Make sure you turn off USB Debugging

4.> Reboot to enter Bootmenu (Press Volu+ when you get blue light)

5.> go to Custom Recovery> backup and restore> Backup. This will take sometime.

6.> Choose Wipe data/Factory Reset (you will lose all data, apps etc)

7.> Select Wipe cache partition and then go to Advanced > Wipe Delvik Cache

8.> Go back and then select install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard

9.> Then select the Zip from the SD card and say Yes

Wait for sometime, reboot and you're done.

After this is done, you can user gapps.zip to install the google applications.
[Defy General] v2dare:
thanks to the post @mandhir.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
You need froyo 2.2 in order to upgrade to CM7. Since CM7 uses the same Froyo kernel you can downgrade any time you want. A nandroid backup is adviced incase you arent impressed with the changes and want your phone back in the previous state.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
That's exactly what a nandroid backup is.
[Defy General] jh20:
method 1 was deviced at the time when there's no official froyo available, and it's now outdated. it was for you to upgrade from eclair to fixed froyo sbf since cm7 requires froyo. just ignore that since you already have official froyo in your phone.

you will also come across some old posts mentioned doing a nandroid backup of eclair and flashing a fixed froyo before cm7 incase you need to downgrade back to eclair for warranty purposes. that's out of date too since you can now do that with official froyo.

so just start from method 2 and you'll be right. and make sure you run defy basebandswitcher in the app page to select the correct baseband for your phone/carrier. this very important step is missing in the instructions unfortunately, and caused me some frustrations and nearly given up on cm7 :)

edit: if you have a lot of apps in your phone now and want to port them into cm7, do a backup using apps like titanium backup etc. it's different from nandroid backup which is like an image clone of your current phone state.
[Defy General] v2dare:
@ryan thanks. nw i understood thing more clearly .. cm7 requires froyo kernel. Bt somepost i read to use an Froyo Ceee jordan version (i dnt remeber the term completely

) if u cant upgrade succesfully to cm7 from ur stick froyo .. I hopes it wont happen to me ..

@jh20 thanks a lot man . i nw it clear like water for me . seems i shuld have checked the posted date along with reading those old ones..

i had a misunderstading that titanium is used to take nanndroid backup and from there all the doubts started ..

im posting what i understood

is cm7 for defy is a Full-sbf or fixed SBF ?? . I wish to have a downgradabilty feature if cm7 2.3 wont work fine and i can switch back to stock froyo .. where will i get a fixed SBF of Cm7. all the post contains a zip file without specfying its fixed or Full. shuld i take care anythng special for a downgradable option ..
[Defy General] jh20:
they are all fixed sbf.

(edit: actually i think they are nandroid backups and not fixed sbf, sorry)

those that are not downgradable will be mentioned specifically in their first post.

i've nandroid backups of cm7, miui, and stock froyo. i can switch between them anytime i want, just like clone image backups of my pc :)

btw i think they should have called it "patched" sbf instead, as "fixed" can be confusing. when i first saw it i thought it meant the rom is fixed and can't be altered/downgraded which is just the opposite of what it's supposed to mean :)
[Defy General] ryan8r:
A fixed SBF is flashed in order to provide the missing kernel in a rom( and other stuff). But since you're already on a froyo kernel you wont need it, as CM7 requires the same. It is it proposed to use a Nordic froyo as base for better performance but you can use any official froyo as base to upgrade to CM7.
[Defy General] jh20:
thanks for that explanation ryan. i'm still a noob to the subject and your explanation just clear up another missing link for me :)
[Defy General] v2dare:
thnx @jh. Dats true abt "fixed".:D:D Bt nw its stuffed to my brain & im ok with full and fixed ..

@ryan thanks friend.it was de direct answer. i thought the "fixed" wont have those two partitions which store version number so that they wont be formated and overwritten and thus keep downgradabilty .( gt this from defy guide @ xda ) .. didnt thought abt the kernel part ..

so now i feel its easy than it seems to be if i can switch between os with the nandroid backup . my defy has now 1 gb free . dat it it took total 1gb with app an OS. how much space nandroid will it take .. im using an 8gb card. and i have all apps backup. (not settings).

and how u feel cm7 .. doest it made any bug to u . i dnt have feel any bug at my froyo 2.2.2???

im planing to use this link RC1.5 Here:http://www.multiupload.com/217FS9PYDC from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13279140&postcount=1

is that ok for me ??

once again thanks all .. :):):):)
[Defy General] jh20:
i don't use any extra apps and my stock froyo nandroid backup is 357mb with all the motoblur stuff, while cm7 110909 nightly is 226mb. so the size depends on how many apps and data you have i guessed.
[Defy General] v2dare:
Ok .. nw in india we dnt have Moto Blur .and apps take only 200mb (nw free memory is 1000mb showing) as free memory for user is 1200 on factory reset.

another term that came to my mind is "nightly" what it actually means.. I thinks it a custamised form of stable cm7 .. r8 ? can u post some screenshots on defy .. i cant find anysuch thing ..
[Defy General] jh20:
no, nightly as the name suggested is a nightly updated version. that's right, they work on the rom just about every day! and the daily updated rom file is updated to the jordan-cm7_nightly folder:

http://defy.tanguy.tk/

once a nightly rom is good enough it will be uploaded to the jordan-nightly folder. that's why the jordan-nightly folder has less files than the jordan-cm7_nightly folder.

so if you want to be safe, you should use only nightly roms from the nightly folder. cm7-nightly folder is for the brave as some of them may not be stable or still has known/unfixed bugs. infact i know for the fact the 110912 rom was pulled from the list because it did not work. and notice that there are some nights missing too for some reason :)

then once they are satisfied that a rom is good enough to be a major release, it becomes the rc, like rc0, rc1 and rc1.5.
[Defy General] v2dare:
http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly/

http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-cm7_nightly/

i felt both have same files... :confused::confused::confused:

leave that ..

------------------------------------------

so Rc1.5 will be the latest stable version of cm7 defy. r8 ?.

so i can download it from
