There is no test. But this is my observation with so many roms of Froyo and Gingerbread.

After comparing both the OS, I found froyo to be more stable on Defy and hence worked out this rom.

I tested this on quadrant score of 1393 and the GPS fix is done in 9 seconds

the camera gets the location in 3 seconds... Also camera is more responsive in this rom.

After Installing, install your favourite browser and favourite file browser as I have removed the stock browser and file manager as Market has much better options.

If I keep them, they will unnecessarily be seen in the menu and eat RAM/Battery and many guys dont use them. Hence decided to remove them.
[Defy Android Development] desihu:
appreciate your efforts in bringing this up... and hope that it better than the stock froyo. However would be kind if you could provide more details on your ROM.

Many would like to understand the difference between this and the others available before jumping onto the rom.

I experience on IN Stock Froyo has been disappointing and the reason I had to switch to CM 7x

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] slumpz:
Can I install CM7 or MIUI over this ROM? Will it have the new kernel?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
You can install CM7 or miui... just boot in custom recovery... wipe data/ wipe cache / wipe daivik and install cm7 or miui...
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
@desihu .. the main advantage of this is the GPS... the speed to connect the satellite. Also all unwanted softwares are removed and its plain vanila version of original stock rom of India. After installing this you need to install your favourite file browser and internet browser from market. Its overclocked to 1 GHz and rooted
[Defy Android Development] asn39:
haptic feedback is possible ??

well i see there were so many unnecessary apps in original ROM n also haptic feedback was nt working so i decide to move to CM7 which was a mindblowingly awesome rom :) hope this has less apps more rom free and

GPS is already fixed or i need to flash zip ??
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
gps for India+Asia is fixed...
[Defy Android Development] minomarimat:
Hi! based from your instructions, I'd like to ask, is it necessary to have a fresh installation of the SEA15 SBF - for this ROM to work?
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
its not necessary to install the SEA15 SBF if you are on any 2.2.2 stock froyo.

I have updated PopcornV1.1. Details in first post.
[Defy Android Development] duukaz:
Is there a T-Mobile WiFi Calling patch that I can use with this Rom? Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
U will need to install it separately...
[Defy Android Development] minomarimat:
I was installing this ROM earlier, followed the steps well.

Everything was going smoothly. Wipe Data, Restore, Wipe Cache, Dalvik.. etc.. Then Reboot..

And the 'M' logo came up, and I was like "Well yeah, pretty normal"

but then the bootanimation came up, and I was like "WHOA, THIS IS PRETTY F**KING AWESOME!" (apologies for the terms, but it was really awesome thanks for that)

Will be using this for now. Hopefully this will be more than satisfactory. I liked the stock look of the Defy, sans its instability since the Froyo update.

Again, to you, Mr. Popcorn, thank you. :)

EDIT:

Just an additional question, though. I was browsing thru the comments (yeah, right after I installed this ROM haha), and I saw that this ROM is semi-deodexed, and FOR GREEN LENS??

1) What do you mean exactly by semi-deodexed?

2) So this is for Green Lens Defy ONLY?? I'm using a Red Lens (Oh God, please no)
[Defy Android Development] meilbox:
please reupload fe.to mediafire... multiupload is dead....
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Well... the SEA15 is basically for green lens....but the drivers of red lens (Bayer) are also installed in it. Hence it will work.

I will reach home and try to upload it again... with some more few tweaks.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:

[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:

Great ROM

I have been using this ROM from past some days and i must say that this is what i am looking for...YES...a Froyo and not ICS :eek:

excellent speed,battery, smoothness, and BATTERY (i have to wright it two times because my battery life increases 2 folds). It also removes the problem of sudden battery drops, caused by flashing too many different ROMs...(i think)

Also, as many unnecessary apps are deleted, they do not connect to the internet by themselves, means it saves data packets too...(no unwanted balance deduction when data is on).

Thanks to Popcorn for such a great ROM :):)
[Defy Android Development] jm2k7:
hello, a question, inside the folder "/ system / app" is a apk called "GuoBiIME_MOTO_RUTH.apk" can be removed? :confused:

He appeared in the repertoire of applications on the market. According to market it sees a Chinese keyboard com, and have more negative scores than positive. At first I was scared when he came into my applications on the market.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Its not good idea to delete that APK , I had tried and had some problems ... :)

Its a stock apk and I think we should not remove it.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Thanks guys :) your feedback always encourages me to make defy better.

I am now going to release the ultimate GPS Fix of motorola defy tonight :)

I am currently testing it and its amazing accurate.

Will update it in my other dedicated GPS thread and also add it in POPCORN version 1.4 later this week end.
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
Hi:)

Installed this 8 hours ago, this is a rom as a rom should be :D clean stock(all crapware removed). Haven't looked deeply in it, therefore I ask if you have added any tweaks for further improvements like batteridrevet, increase smoothness and so on? By the way, are this phone compatible for init.d? I hope you will continue this baby as I also have an optimus 2x and development have improved mostly all compared to what LG has done.

Great work Popcorn :) Thanks for making my day(s) :D
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
I am trying this but keep getting FC's with Google Play, I go in and clear data for it and it works for a while the starts force closing again and all I can do is clear data again.

Anyone else having the same trouble?
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
did you wipe data and cache and dalvik?

also try setting privacy.. reset and reboot

then do google registration.... start market , accept the terms and condition.... then wait for 5 minutes with your wifi or data conection on. this will update market on its own.... let me know what happens...
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
Already done all that, 2 or 3 times makes no difference. Seems to work for 5-6 times using play store then the FC's start and the only way to stop it is to go into settings-applications-manage applications select play store and clear data & cache, then it is good for another 5-6 times till it starts FC again.

cheers
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
try to install google search... from market...

and then experiment...
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Did the test again..

You can remove that GuoBiIME_MOTO_RUTH.apk

Earlier Market version did not detect this software, but the new google play detects this stock chinese keyboard... you can remove it using file manager from /system/app folder...

I will update this in my next version.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
The FC on google is for this reason:

When you install any rom for the first time, the market app is outdated. Google updates that on first time the market is started. It is advisable to use only one type of data connection in that process. Either APN or wifi. I would recommend to use a APN based connection to upgrade the market to Google Play Shop.

During this process if the connection changes from APN to Wifi, there is a FC problem.

Hence during the first time usage of google it is always better to wait for all sync to happen.
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
Done all that still get FC, but it does not seem to be happening as often now.

Cheers

What is the procedure if coming from a previous version? Unzip, and restore system? Is it necessary to wipe cache and Dalvik cache? I'd like to wipe as little as possible.
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
No worries about wipe, backup with titanium backup :)
[Defy Android Development] jm2k7:
hello, is there a theme to the taskbar and notification black? I would like this rom the subject was a little more black.

strongly in favor of maintaining stability, without third party applications.

I would like this rom so it would look nice change of look. :)

ps: just to prove that the "UOT KITCHEN" all nice but lol, I went black and date not see anything.

I believe this to change is not mine:-P
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
You can also open /system/app/systemUI.apk with 7zip and change icons manually and overwrite when inserting again. It demands patience ;)
[Defy Android Development] INZANEDUD:

After 2 attempts, i could install popcorn 1.4... amazing, very light. Respect market its working fine until now.

[Defy Android Development] asn39:
I m also from mumbai...few days back i was running GGL rom well and i felt like to finger my mobile n i flashed PIKachu edition MIUI latest...after a day my SEARCH button LIGHT was dead :( i m feared if my parents see that i wont get another mobile...

So in order to claim warranty i have flashed stock SBF....

Now the question is have u experienced MOTO care centres which are worst ever..

I need your help i need to get it working before som1 sees it

Its just about 4 to 5 months from purchase :(
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
What has this got to do with Popcorn Rom if you were running GGL?
[Defy Android Development] asn39:
nothing

Dude u dont know abt service centres of MOTO in india they r ****ing bad...

Besides he also lives in same city as i m..

M just asking for help to get my search key working...
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Well... never had any experience of service centers....

but what you can say is after FULL Stock ROM install with wipe/clear cache+ soft reset + hard reset.... install some apps and make your phone look like 4 month old... with some games played some sms on phones and then tell them that you had recorded 1 hour long video with flash light on and then next day your search button did not work... keep them in a puzzled state when you give them the phone.
[Defy Android Development] evolution1g:
Does it contain the GPS fix that you made for our device?
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
i have integrated that in PopcornV1.6 , I am currently testing it since 2 days.

Will upload new version in 1-2 days.

The GPS fix work much better with new files of MB526.

I have also upgraded the file Manager & Quick Office new version from other newer stock roms(ME525)

You guys can give ideas on which stock app do I upgrade in this new version....

PopcornV1.6 is live on first post.

[Defy Android Development] evolution1g:
In 1.6 the GPS Isn't perfect. Only Google Maps is able to locate me, no other apps like foursquare, facebook, etc is able to locate my position... Fix it please

Edit : its working fine now
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Let me know overall how is the performance...
[Defy Android Development] ManDOT:
Nice and clean build... Only issue with this rom is "random reboots" it was also there in stock rom. How to get rid of this problem??
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
I've never had random reboot with defy MB525 red lense, please specify your model ;)

In fact, this is the cleanest rom for defy, and there ain't nothing useful to do with ics or gb that froyo can't do :)

Mr. popcorn1122, thank you so much!!!!

I´ve been using many roms since I bought this phone, 8 months ago, and all of them had an issue. Or the gps didn´t work right, or the camcorder, or 3g, etc...

Today I had the urge to get back to stock rom (buggy, indeed) and I saw yours. So I decided to give it a try and everything works very nice. It´s very smooth, clean and everything just works as they are expected to.

I have pressed thanks already, but I just wanted to thank you 'personally' for your work and encourage other users to give it a try.

:)

Recently read some where dat out might be because of lack of good signal from my service provider. it's like when signal strength goes very low phone reboots. baseband is not helping me out, I have used every ROM but had nthing dat solved this issue... I'm having defy with green lens.

Final GPS Fix

Latest APN with DUN Type loaded for major Operators.

Recommended: Unroot & Unload the bootloader after installing this. This will make your defy exactly as out of box with no bloatware.

This will be the last version from me.
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
Thanks, you have made wonderful roms here, with the latest changelog i think you have reached the limit of what this froyo build are capable at. Definitely no rom with better battery, and of the Android devices Ive owned Motorola delivers the best rom.

Say you wanna unroot and remove cmw and device oc to 1ghz. Will that setting stay then or revert?

Thanks again and good luck :)

I've updated 2nd Init with the download you linked to, but then I noticed that my default boot was set to 'normal' instead of 2nd Init.

However, regardless of whether I boot normal or with 2nd Init, the CPU menu does not seem to have any effect, as CPUSpy still shows 800/600/300MHz, instead of my custom clockspeeds (900/600/300).

Sent from ari@defy

EDIT: Ok couple more things...

1)have you included the 840x480 full screen video recording functionality...its very essential as green lens user i cannot access 720p recording so at least i can be happy with the full screen recording

2)power widget toggles in the pull down info bar...that would be awesome...possible?!!
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I have not had any reboots, and I myself would prefer not to have too many features added to this otherwise clean ROM, I like it close to stock. Arabis - you might want to check out MS2Ginger?
[Defy Android Development] aribis:
Stock or no stock...good features can be included in all accounts...else anybody can flash a stock if they so wish to be crippled for choices...dont take it otherwise naenee...my proposal is only to add two things that would make a better stock ROM...i have tried MS2Ginger...GGL ROM...CM7...but those are GB not Froyo!

If there were simple zip available for those tweaks we would have loved to leave the stock as stock! I believe even Moto would want to get then included if they were to release Froyo builds now! :)

Oh and 720p playback too...we want it all in Froyo...savy!!
