jboogie is based off cm7 by quarax. pretty decent.

barebones is the ultimate cm mod with the "bare essentials"

cm7 is fast, and as far as customising it there are LOADS of themes, personally i like the way this one looks

miui is nice, recently it has got much more smoother and there are many variants. wajk,d something :S and so on

(personally i like the galnet miui but waiting for the next update before jumping up and down and trying to convert people.)

ms2 ginger and moto ginger are based off the stock gb from moto and there are soo many nandroids of the same(stock gb from moto for the defy plus)in the dev thread. only plus point of ms2ginger over the rest is the 720p recording and its awesome (but only to view on the phone, on the computer its a totally different story)

cm9 is still kicking in the alpha stage but at the moment looks the most promising.

at the end of it, which ever rom you like should be the one you pick. oh and be careful, trying not wrecking your phone! lol

no one here can be held responsible if anything happens to your phone but if there is an issue, there are many awesome people who are waiting to help!!

any way happy modding!
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
well said... but the stock froyo of India 3.4.3-36-1.7 is the most stable for me...
[Defy General] evolution1g:
MS2GINGER for me ... 720p recording and playback and most importantly the battery backup ... this is the rom with the best battery life for me :]
[Defy General] jh20:
lol....i might have to eat my own words actually :)

after testing a few variances of miui based roms, ie, wajkiui, dsj ics miui and galnet miui, i still went back to cm7 because those roms are still not as stable and smooth as cm7.

then i found that many of those eye candies i found on miui based roms are there in cm7 anyway. i just wasn't into tweaking my phone before until i got into miui roms.

anyway i'm currently testing ms2ginger 2.1 for green lens and mtotoginger 2 :) i found the best thing about these roms are the battery life. most roms i tested so far consume about 0.4-0.6 % per hr when the phone is in deep sleep. the motoginger 2 rom (preferred over the ms2ginger) uses about 0.3% per hr when deep sleep and on maximum battery saver mode!
[Defy General] peanutrvm:
I really have to agree with CM7. I've been running it for weeks, without any random reboots and lots of usage.

It is just the safest bet out there.
[Defy General] tarekh020:
Also consider try WajkIUI ICS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161110

I bet you will like its smooth faster than ever and the thing is stability

Im my point of view Wajk is one of the best devs 4 defy
[Defy General] nitrous²:
I've used Cm7 for about 3 months, and I have to say, it's really stable. But I couldn't figure out why the built-in ADW Launcher was so laggy, but the ADW from market wasn't. But in fact, I didn't really cared about ADW, because I've used LP. There's no other Launcher on Earth which is that smooth, stable and far away from annoying gimmicks like those freaky transition effects from Go Launcher. After 3 months cm7 got very boring for me. So I decided to test some of the other ROM's postet here. Ms2Ginger was kind of overloaded and I don't like the color of the settings menue. Wajkiui was a variety of a MIUI Rom but without the MIUI Launcher. The last one I tried, was the MIUI Pikachu Edition. And It feels like much smoother then other MIUI Rom's, more stable and settings to play around:D So, I use MIUI Pikachu for about 2 months and I don't think I'll change the ROM until there's a final Version of CM9-Jordan.
[Defy General] jh20:
arr.. yes, the pikachu edition. i've heard of it but it's in german which i don't speak ;)
[Defy General] nitrous²:
Yea, its a german Rom, but it suports english, too. Im just comparing it with stock MIUI and Galnet-MIUI. I cant see any great differences except of the theme and Bootanimations o.O

The main difference of the Pikachu edit. is the app called "Flag-configer". With this app, you can change installation parameters and app contents BEFORE you flash the ROM. MIUI Pikachu is the only ROM which is supported by the Flag-configer, actually I'm not sure if it's the only supported ROM. For now, the GALNET and WAJIKU can't be configured by this app.

[Defy General] jh20:

[Defy General] Whitedefy:
i tried cm7 and currently on Wiui... have to say they r fast n solid! but as i am always outside w/o wifi... thus my data always on... the battery eats 15%/hr even when i am doing nothing with it n always in my pocket!!!

therefore i can say i really enjoy my defy when i m at home(wif wifi)... but once outside... i have to ration its use in case battery is flat when i have urgent call to make!!!

any rom out there to fix this problem?

I can use my Defy PIKACHU Miui for almost 18 hours. But just because i use the airplane mode while I'm working. My vsel/cpu settings: 20/300; 35/650; 65/1300
[Defy General] Whitedefy:
i wonder how some ppl can report battery life of 30% remaining after 44hrs of usage!!! r they only on airplane mode or wat??

i m gg to give up on my Defy soon if the 3g data on = battery drain got no solutions to it no matter wat rom i use... it wld be such a waste becos Defy has really hit all the right notes except this!
[Defy General] joaquin.mik:
Everybody says that CM7 so rock stable, but for me is a completely different story...

I started using CM7 then went to MIUI, but I don't know why, CM7 is far more unstable than MIUI, Wifi sometimes breaks for a while, battery performance is bad (compared to lasts roms MIUI), and apps crashes/lags more than often, particularly when you're not connected to internet... its weird, I think I'm going back to MIUI, but I don't like all the theming stuff and Chinese characters somewhere lol
[Defy General] jh20:
try either the cm7-111012-0056-nightly-jordan.zip or cm7-111015-1128-nightly-jordan.zip from here:

http://defy.wdscript.fr/jordan-nightly/

for me those were the best cm7 roms. i suspect from that point onwards a few bugs were introduced into the roms due to the merging with the official cm7 roms :(

if you want to go miui, you must try the wajkiui stable version (wthout ics framework). i don't remember seeing any chinese character yet so far :)

here again i think the ics add-on to the wajkiui roms causes a few bugs. although they're supposely fixed but i'm not 100% sure......
[Defy General] jollyb:
you should change or check the VSEL settings, had that problems before. but after i changed to

everytime I overclock my defy the phone gets really hot, what are the best specs to use on setvsel?
[Defy General] m_zet:
WajkIUI 1.12.16 ICS edition:

+ stable (don't remember to have FC)

+ handy (for example: no need to install additional dialer - and all those small things like unlocking the screen, status bar, DATA MONITOR that one is just great!! as build in file manager!!)

+ good battery stats (46 hours - playing, browsing, calling, wifi, BT, GPS, data always on - and 31% of juice to go - using Juice Defender)

- can't find "-"

CM7.1.0.11:

+ stable

+ good battery stats

- need to install additional apps. that's why less functional then WajkIUI

But guys one very important thing: there would be no other ROM's if there would be no CM.

Again BIG thanks and admaration for the CM creators/makers/devs!!!

[Defy General] drhode:
A doubt about ROMs and features (specially HID devices and battery duration)

I am a little scared noob that—belive me—still uses factory Android Éclair...I'm always afraid of upgrading and messing up my Defy, but now I am getting a bit of courage...

I checked several ROMs. I liked the looks and stuff of MIUI, however I'm actually still unsure of what to get:

—I want to use a HID Bluetooth keyborad (generic)

—I am afraid about battery comsumption, as my Defy with Éclair have a pretty decent battery duration.

—My cam module is SOC, green lenses. So I need a ROM that works fine with that.

—I use GPS a lot and FM radio quite often

Is there any rom that is more suitable to me, under these circumstances?

I've seen good things about CM7, WakjIUI and MiUi Pikachu...But I'm still confused about which rom to choose. One of these or perhaps another not listed?
[Defy General] darkvier:
I think the best rom is CM 7.1 11/11/11 but i'm waiting to see what happens with ICS
[Defy General] happyz90:
I like the rom by vid190 from mfunz~~~
[Defy General] ovu85:
thist thread should had a poll.

I'm using official MIUI, very stable, very handy, no need to install many other usefull app because the rom has them.
[Defy General] manndl:
for me CM 7.1 11/11/11 is still the best rom.

ics is verry early by now,could be great in a few weeks(months)

miu is nice but cm 7.1 is still faster.:cool:
[Defy General] rockeroll:
I think the cm7 is the best rom in this time .

But moto's local rom is not bad。

if you guys prefer stock froyo 2.2.2 rom with removed bloatware and softwares try my nandroid:

[Defy General] Doncock:
I would like some advice which custom rom to choose. I own a Defy French retail updated to 3.4.2-164 stock with Motoblur(Froyo 2.2.2), the Bayern version. First of all, I do not need MOTOBLUR. I got a lot of apps I never use and cannot remove. Secondly, it has not been very stable. I get random reboots, occasional freezes and more often wireless that stops working, for instance when I am updating apps or installing . I have to leave Android Market, turn off wireless and turn it back on for it to work again. What I would like is a mod that I can tailor to my wishes, is light and fast and doesn't empty the battery as fast as it does now.

I have read about Defy mods and a lot of you seem to favour CM, but what I understand is that CM is basically a mod that adds features or a future version of Android (CM9) whereas I rather have a fast and stable mod without bloatware.

I have seen this list. Could BarebonesCM7 be my best bet?
[Defy General] joydeep1985:
Mokee Rom (the latest post ) and cm7.1 alongwith for me rocked for me . i dont use gps . but the battery life has been amazing and no fc for me in both the roms . since may b both are from same sources :P (mokee is based on cm7 repositories )

battery life is almost 2 days may b more if i try only stand alone mode generally . few texts . few hours of music play (90 minutes per day ) . it would almost last 2 days .. another rom which is in my mind is barebones. . its based on stock froyo . but amazing one

Best ROM

Proud to be a DEFY Owner

it's been experience of 10 months now. but i ve came to know the best stable rom depends on you need.

for green lense:-

1. cm 7.1 (11-11-11) by quarx

2. Liquidarc by jboogie ( Most Stable , easily installed and Nice ui)

for red lense

1. MS2Ginger by walter

now if you require some nice ui ;; then here is ur choice

1. wp 7.04 by mmmcfc

and if you like miui version

then best of best

Wajakiui by wajak ( it's awsome stable powerful and yet smooth rom)

other than these else doesn't matter how much those dev's complains for stability and updates but they fails.

this is my opinion. hope it help someone.

hit thanks if i ve helped you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Seeing how the SGSII is an international phone, ROM devs from all over would be on this phone and it would have great dev support. The problem is, the T-Mobile variant has a Snapdragon CPU and I feel that could kill off support for a lot of ROMs :( would it do so? I'm really trying to convince myself to get this over the Amaze 4G but if a ton of ROMs won't work because of the CPU difference then it's not worth it. Will the difference in the CPU kill away a lot of ROMs for this variant specifically?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qikstart:
I was also having days of trouble with this, but I can connect consistently now. Here's what worked for me on Win7-64:

Get yourself to a fresh start (uninstall drivers and Kies):

1) with your phone plugged in and USB debugging OFF (in my unprofessional experience, Kies will never connect if your phone's usb debugging is enabled), go to your Windows Device Manager. You should see either yellow bangs because your phone's drivers aren't installed correctly, or you'll have "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device" under USB controllers. Highlight it, click Properties, Driver tab, click Uninstall. Delete the device if it's still visible.

2) unplug your phone

3) If you're using the most recent version of Kies, I recommend downgrading to 2.0.2 because I read other forum posts about complaints with 2.0.3. Go to Windows Start - All Programs - Samsung - Kies - Uninstall Kies.

4) reboot

Now install stuff fresh

5) install Kies 2.0.2. I just googled it. Start Kies. Do NOT update it when you get the popup asking.

6) plug in your SGS2 (remember, USB debugging = OFF). You'll see a lot of typical driver installation bubbles. Go back to your Device Manager and confirm that you have no yellow bangs and you do see your SAMSUNG device under USB controllers.

At this point, Kies should already be connecting. I hope it works for you; it did me.

As an aside, Kies sucks. It's good to prove you have connectivity, install drivers, and to flash your firmware. If you actually want to sync Outlook contacts, Outlook calendar, and music, use MyPhoneExplorer (which btw requires USB debugging ON).

Hello,

Free Madden 2012 weekend for Verizon customers. I am running a GB ROM and the link says my phone is not supported. I was told that I could edit my build.prop to make it work and assume it would mean faking that it was running Froyo instead of GB. I know how to edit files with root explorer however not sure which line/lines I need to edit. Any help or anyone else figured out how to get the Free Madden?

I was also thinking I could go to a froyo rom, download and backup with titanium and restore on GB rom, anyone try this?

Hey. Can someone please help me figure out why my phone reset itself, and if it is recoverable (doubt it but thought I'd ask)? I'm running Swagged Out Stock 1.9.0.2 (with all the features), and I had some problems with getting stuck on the boot screen, so I planned to swap in CM7 just to see how it compared. I guess my phone knew my plan... was planning on the swap today. The battery died late last night and I didn't bother to plug it in. So I wake up this morning and plug it in, turn it on... ALL my data is gone! My contacts, text messages, app data, everything. It was like I just fresh installed SOS.

Why would the /data partition be wiped? Is there a possibility that the phone got confused and is ignoring any data I have in /data, is it possible to check and recover? I doubt it but I thought I'd ask! I installed this ROM on the 19th so I have a backup from then, so I only lost 2 weeks of messages, but still, I'd like those 2 weeks back if possible!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hello, I don't think theirs a way to recovery that if you didn't have a backup of it. And as to why that happened I'm not sure, It's never happened to me and mines has died completely a couple of times. As to what you should do now is just restore that 2 week old backup its not that bad of a lost. From now on always make sure to make a backup more often. =\

Hello G2 Forum users/developers.

I used ROM Manager today to upgrade Virtous Radio.

After this, my Tmobile G2 goes into perma loop. I get the HTC "quietly brillant" screen.

However, it would be in some sort of perma loop.

I am super newbie. I used this forum to unlock a few phones. I have ADB at home.

When I plug my unit/G2 into my computer via USB

and type "adb devices", this is what I get:

"SH12PR208475 recovery"

QUESTION:

What in the world do I do from here on?

BACKGROUND:

I have downloaded a bunch (5-7 different) of ROM via Rom Manager. The phone was acting up a bit, in that it would sometimes not go into Recovery Mode from ROM Manager menu. I would select it; it would turn off and then blank screen. To solve this problem, I would remove battery and turn it back on. This would remedy the situation.

After updating the radio via Rom Manager (choosing Virtous (Free) one), the phone appears to be "Brick like".

Please help. Thank you.

If you are local vancouver, pls call 604 838 5805. Thanks again
