No problemo that you asked, better safe than sorry :)

So, you want CM9? You can flash one of the defy+ builds by Epsylon, Quarx or FuZZ; links:

http://defy.wdscript.fr/defyplus-cm9/

http://quarx2k.ru/cm9-nightly-defy+/

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=jordanplus

The FuZZ one seems to be best in terms of features and speed, but the other two maybe a bit better on the battery life side.

These are the builds you need and you shouldn't flash defy builds as they are meant for Froyo (froyo kernel, that is). You asked about kernels and I guess you figured already - you have a Gingerbread kernel on your phone. (You can't flash any other kernel as those flashable kernels are meant for standard DEFYs that have a lower bl version than DEFY+. If you flash one of those on a DEFY+ you will end up being stuck in bootloader and having to flash a full sbf. A pain in the ass that you don't want :) )

So, when you see defy or defy+ builds, think this way:

defy = Froyo

defy+ = Gingerbread

And now, the steps you should take to install one of those CM9 builds:

1. Install 2nd init (if you haven't already?)

2. Get into custom recovery (you should copy the ROM zip file you downloaded and a gapps.zip (link) on the root of your sd card )

3. wipe data

4. wipe cache

5. advanced \ wipe dalvik cache

6. install zip from sd card - install ROM

7. install zip from sd card - install gapps

8. wipe cache

9. wipe dalvik cache

(steps 8 & 9 aren't necessary)

10. Reboot!

11. Enjoy :)
[Defy Android Development] Chem23:
Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to answer so comprehensively! It is much appreciated :)

The reason I want to flash the phone with a new ROM is that I want to use it predominantly as a navigation device and computer for cycling. Today I took it for my first test run on the bike and it crashed five times during an hour of cycling making it next to useless. What I really want is the most stable ROM available rather than necessarily the latest build. I was wondering whether any of the CM7 builds are more stable than the CM9 versions and if so, do you know which? Also battery life is an issue due to the need for the display to be active for as long as possible with GPS turned on.

I'm assuming the flashing procedure that you have kindly given would be the same in any CM version as, apart from the 2nd init, it is the same as I've been using with builds for my HTC phone.

Thank you once again :)
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Comprehension is my middle name :D

Be that as it may, the answer to your question is yes - the steps would be the same! Just use Gingerbread apps instead of the ICS ones ;) (link to all gapps available so far - http://goo.im/gapps/ )

Okay, well, if stability is what you need, go for CM7.2. Again, having tested all builds available for defy+, I must say that the ones by FuZZ were the ones I used the most - http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/index.php?id=jordanplus

But, as the rest of us, you will surely test all ROMs available in due time and make the decision on your own :) Until then, both of my (cm7- and cm9-wise) recommendations go to FuZZ's builds.

Cheers, mate :)
[Defy Android Development] Chem23:
Thanks again! :) I think I'll go with your recommendation of FuZZ's CM7.2 and see how the phone behaves. More than likely I will be experimenting with others down the line, as you predict!

Went back to 0528 after experiencing like 6 reboots within 12 hours on 0529 on my Defy green lens, this version seems much more stable for me.
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
I've had the 0529 build on my green lens defy since 30 hours, smoothly that is, which makes me wonder why so many people complain about it.

Not a single reboot.

(Just the usual FCs on some things, like display settings, which are caused by me enabling hwui for everything, blacklisting nothing. But that's rather a willing decision on my side, since I'm not really annoyed by it.)

So what the hell are you people doing? Have you even tried installing it after a data wipe? (which is standard procedure for me, as gapps even automatically restores my apps)

Not to sound tacky, I'm just wondering. And deeply confused.
[Defy Android Development] nameite:
rebooted a few times also on the 0529, then bootloop, 0528 is also much more stable for me
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Tip: there are some settings menus that crash always, but they don't when the language is set to English (US)- at least for me.

Reboots: Oh yes, when my phone lies next to me I hear it vibrating every once in a while, loo at the screen and see the bootanimation (hwa enabled, standard CPU settings. Will change a bit at these now and see if something changes).
[Defy Android Development] airwolf1544:
It's a problem with wifi... seems there are no reboots with mobile data... :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] ntldr:
Thanks! I installed it. Also many thanks to the team that made this possible.

I have a question though: is there a way to have the ringtone volume(s) progressive?

Another question: how do I copy/paste text in ICS/CM9? When I long press on text nothing happens anymore.

l.e.: nevermind, it seems to work now

Chrome is working on the last build?

Guys, did you notice that since 28.05 the notification led has a different color depending on the situation? Now it's green only for mails and texts and white for missed calls. Also, when you have a text/mail plus a missed call the led is also white.

Problematic lockscreen

For some reason, my phone doesn't seem to lock at all(CM9-NIGHTLY-120529). Anybody else having the same issue? any remedies?
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
In last build I have problem with connections... Signal strenght icon shows full scale but is still gray - no phones, no mail. What is strange - when i try call to somebody, the call is partly successful (it means target peson's phone is ringing, but after that there is only silence). On my side there is no signal tone and no information about connection. What it could mean? When I switch to earlier build (both are on virtuals) all things works correct.

It's a pitty because last build suits me so well so I started thinking of flashing it on nand...
[Defy Android Development] ntldr:
I came here from CM 7.1 and I used to connect to company's Wifi just fine using Cisco LEAP protocol, but not anymore. Anyone with the same issue that can confirm this?
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
I'm on latest build.

With me only on Wifi.

Other issue: when I was out of juice, and the phone wouldn't power on. It stayed at the motorola sign i.o. showing a battery, when I plugged it in the wall. I could get in to bootmenu. Reboot from there did the same. But when I removed the battery in bootmenu (after unplugging the cable) and chose reboot, It worked...
[Defy Android Development] sonyc2011:
Random reboots

I have random reboots to (MB525 Green lens whit last update.)...

I am restoring the phone to original rom and install cm9 again.

I hope that will resolve the problem.

Thank Epsylon for the hard work for our Defy's

Data Connectivity Bug

Not sure where to post this, as it applies to all CM9 build I've tested to date... I believe I've captured the dreaded data disconnect in the logcat below.

The data disconnected at 05-31 14:41:12.085 (I was busy trying to post on XDA at the time). The last log below worries me "no active default network - ignore". Could this be why the phone never reconnects? I've left the phone for 20 minutes now, with still no reconnect and it never will, until I toggle data off/on.

Here's the logcat:

I've noticed something strange - new working data transfer options with per app raports must work from data partition not from system - after problems with latest CM9 builds , I decided to return to older AOKP ICS build (from my signature) - I wiped everthing except data and new working data transfer options per app raports (from latest CM9) are still working they didn't work before so this is leftover from CM9 latest builds from DATA !!? I'm confused a bit .

I'm getting my Bayer Defy back from the warranty today.

If I couldn't get ICS to the long term I will get back to WIUI stable releases...

Open a file explorer and go to /data/app and delete the com.max apk file that might be present. If not there, then delete the corresponding odex file. It's probably left over from an old install of poweramp.
[Defy Android Development] elyashiv1994:
i dont have this file.....where i found data/app odex?
[Defy Android Development] syllogyking:
The .odex should be in the same folder. If you can't find it. Filter for max mpz and search your device that way.
[Defy Android Development] elyashiv1994:
i have com.maxmpz.audioplayer folder...delete it?
[Defy Android Development] syllogyking:
No files in the folder? Try it. I'm just speaking from experience. I had the same problem as you and that fixed it. I think the OS is thinking there is no space on the device because there's a duplicate file somewhere (usually in /data/app)
[Defy Android Development] elyashiv1994:

For anyone missing crt-on and off i have activated it :) .....

I think Epyslon3 decided to disable it because

it's still in review by the CM team

but for those that can't wait here you go - Link

Confirmed working by my good friend Pottkopp :p

adb push or copy the apk's to their folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r-

Copy

Settings.apk ----> /system/app

Framework-res.apk and Framework.jar -----> /system/framework

reboot and enjoy :p to enable go to settings then display settings it's the screen off/ on animation setting.
[Defy Android Development] vap_66:
I can confirm this bug, on 29.05. Woke up in the morning, saw the clock, instant panic :D. Got into settings, used the same trick to solve the issue. It might be related to the charging moment (for me it seemed to get stuck when I plugged the charger, but I realized it only later). Also, no reboots until now, the CPU is undervolted and overclocked.

[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
And so I got it.

Everything stable so far, I have to say that I'm impressed. Great work, Epsylon and Quarx!!

Just not as smooth as I expected. Is it the hardware accelerated UI?

And Fruit Ninja doesn't connect to the internet. Its the only app I've noticed it so far. Have un/reinstalled already. Anyone else experiencing that?

I'll try to keep it for a while :)

I miss some features from WIUI (hold back to quit application, several shortcuts to "torch", music player on lock screen,...) but will try to explore every corner of this awesome ROM.

And, about tethering. USB tethering is working on FuZZ's gingerbread skankwich kangs. The day before yesterday was the first day I needed tethering and so i plugged the phone in, switched connection to charge only, went into tethering menu and just ticked USB tether. Some drivers installed on my pc and seconds later I had a working connection :) And a good one, too. I did that 3 times for ~10 minutes and when I tried to stop tethering the 3rd time the phone rebooted. So, maybe it's not perfect, but it sure is quite good :)
