Stock recovery is when you press power + Vol down (could also be up, don't know) and when you get a triangle press both Vol keys

The root tool = superoneclick (Google is your friend)

To instal CM7 afterwards: search for 2nt init defy apk, put it on you sd card, unable unknown sources in settings> app> dev

Find the apk in an explorer app (if the room doesn't have one, get it from the market) follow instructions, reboot twice. Then press Vol down with blue let, go to custom recovery, wipe data and cache and instal the zip you have put on your sd earlier.

So all I do is flash the ROM that Customromfan posted. Find CM7 and install to SD card(anyone know a good link?). Then install 2nd init. Then go to custom recovery, clear cashe/data and then install CM7?

Anything Im missing? I dont have to re-root right since its already rooted?

Once again this is ALL new to me so the more details the better!

Thanks!
[Defy General] labsin:
Fist try the first 5 steps. If it boots, you have your camera back, otherwise please tell. The ROM you are on then is rubbish. It's a Chinese without a market and stuff. To instal a new ROM, you will have to instal 2nt init (this starts up before android to modify it). To do so, look at step 6 and 7. If you want to go back to a stock ROM, follow the next steps. If you want to instal CM7, there are a few options. I am on the cherrypicks version and don't have many bugs. The others won't have them to I think.

Just download the zip and instead of restore the nand, instal the zip. If you want I'll edit the post with links later.

Edit:

For CM7 you can use this one:

http://www.defy-cm.net/jordan-cm7.2-nightly/cm72-120212.0129-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip

(It's from Epsylon3's latest build)

I think you also need to install the right kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=811082&d=1323463612

And the gapps (market and stuff):

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

So step 10 would be: Press install zip, navigate to the place you placed the files. Install the three (the order doesn't mather).

If you want to restore the nand to go to the original froyo:

http://ge.tt/9Gj23TD Place it in clockworkmod/backup on your sd.
[Defy General] mgp32:
Labsin, I did steps 1-5 and everything is looking good!

Now, Im lost on what to do with 2nd init. Do I download it from the phone or my computer? How do I get it downloaded to the phone? Detailed instructions on these steps would be much appreciated!

Labsin, have you tried miui? Ive heard good things, is this easier to install than CM7...thinking maybe I give this a try...

Thanks again man....thanks to you Im starting to understand this stuff a little bit...
[Defy General] labsin:
Download latest apk in the Attached Files of the threat. Place it on your sd. On your phone: go to settings>apps>activate 'unknown sources'. Search the apk on your phone and open it (go trough your apps as there will be an app to explorer sd content). When installed, open and follow instructions.

If you want miui, you have to replace the cm7 zip with that of the miui. There are many different versions. WIUI has many languages and didn't have any problems with it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161110

You can use that guide to install. No need for the gapps. I suggest however to install te Kernel of my previous post.
[Defy General] mgp32:
I browsed the files on my phone and found 2nd init. I dont see any instructions though?

At this point am I OK to boot into custom recovery and load CM7, Kernal and gapps(the links you provided in an early post) ?

Thanks again...
[Defy General] labsin:
I think you didn't root it. On phone, go to strings> apps> development> enable 'usb ...". Google for super one click root. Download it, extract it on pc, run it, connect phone, press root.

If you get no errors, reboot the phone.

To instal the apk, you have to get something like .

After that, you can find the app in your appdrawer.

Thanks again labsin and all the others that posted, you guys are awesome!
[Defy General] mgp32:
Update...

I seem to be having the same issue I had with liquid arc. I love the rom so far BUT during a call when I take the phone off my ear it will sometimes not show the screen where I can hang up. I try hitting the top power button but it still won't. It will only "come back to life" when the person on the other end hangs up. So in other words if this decides to happen when someone doesnt answer I have to pop out the battery otherwise I would be leaving a LONG message.

any help on this would also be appreciated. Ive searched and searched but it seems no one else is having this issue.
[Defy General] King_Rat:
flash MIUI :cool:
[Defy General] mgp32:
Do you have a link for miui? Any other files I have to flash (gapps or anything).

To go to miui would I just have to put the file on my SD card, go into custom recovery, clear date/cache, and then flash the miui file?

No need to re-root or do anything else right?

Edit: Its getting ridiculous now...even when the other end hangs up it stays locked most of the time and I have to reboot :(

Thanks for any help...
[Defy General] labsin:
Have you flashed to kernel I posted earlier?

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=811082&d=1323463612

It's the kernel that's used for the liquidArc. Seems not to go well with the kernel of the bld6 kernel you installed to downgrade. Just install it in custom recovery. No need to wipe this time.

If you want to go to MIUI:

WIUI is a spinoff with about the same looks but with tweaks that are specific for the Defy. It also packs with many languages. MIUI(en.miui.com) is only in Chinees and MIUIAndroid (http://miuiandroid.com) translates it only in English.

There are really a lot of sites that translate MIUI and add tweaks (galnet,...)

The steps are as you describe. If you get a blue let when you power on your phone DONT install 2nt init again. If you have a superuser app, you are already rooted. LiquidArc is rooted stock.

Info for WIUI:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161110

Edit:

Just checked, WIUI contains gapps and kernel so you only have to download the zip (and maybe addons you want) place them on your sd and install them. And wipe data/cache

As long as you flash without a low battery or don't let your pc crash when you flash a sbf and don't flash a bld 7 sbf. You will not be able to brick it ;)
[Defy General] mgp32:
Just flashed 2.1.20 MIUI....

Only played with it for a couple minutes but it can do the main thing a phone should do and that is being able to hang up a phone call(atleast so far...)

I did notice it is only showing "e" when I should be in "3G"....is this rom not capable of picking up 3g?

Labsin- I did flash that kernal you suggested. Later today Ill probably try flashing again and just adding the gapps....

:D
[Defy General] labsin:
On MIUI you don't have to flash kernel and gapps afterwards.

If you cant get 3g, install this app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745 like you did with the 2nt init.

You have to chose the baseband of your location.
[Defy General] mgp32:
I installed defy baseband and Im now able to connect to 3G! Everything Ive tested works great now (making calls, flash light, camera etc). However, it is taking a little time to get used to the Iphone like interface. Im going to run this for a little while to see how I really like it.

Labsin, as for my CM7 issue, I did flash that kernal you suggested...wonder if I try it again sometime with just CM7 and gapps?

On a side note, I think my dang speaker is going out again. Ive went through 2 defys already because of the speaker going out and this one is starting to act like the others just before they went out:(

Thanks again everyone...Im glad that I atleast have a solid running rom!
[Defy General] King_Rat:
iPhone interface?? Just install another launcher ^^ the theme-ing capabilities of MIUI are freakin awesome! Plus I have no bugs :cool:
[Defy General] labsin:
Do you mean that you can't hear the other person in a call, but you can when you put it on speaker? It's a bug with the 'older' defy's. Look for this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10540192&postcount=34

Could also be a red dot.

You have to turn it in with the service center in your country. Go to motorola.com and send a mail.

How do you mean 3 defy's? Like you have 2 defy's just lying there, or you returned them and got a new one?
[Defy General] mgp32:
How would I go about isntalling another launcher? Any you recommend?

Ive actualy had two other defys I had to send out to tmobile because the speaker went out(not the speaker phone, cant hear person in call). Ive had two other buddys that had to do the same thing. My phone now has been good for a while but like I said, I think it is on the fritz.
[Defy General] mgp32:
Just when I thought MIUI was bullet proof, Im starting to have the same issues that I was having with the other roms...during a call the screen is dead and I cannot end the call.

My only thought idea is possibly getting a new sim card. I have had the same one for about 12 years and it is pretty rough shape. Do you think this has anything to do with it?
[Defy General] labsin:
It's the proximity sensor. It senses how far you are from your phone. Do you have a screen protector? If yes, take it off or cut a hole where the sensor sits(you have a couple of them left of your call speaker. If not you can try to get the improved module from the CM7 rom. Or you flash WIUI (it's the same as MIUI but with the better CM7 drivers and stuff).

Strange they just gave you a new one. It's really easy fixable. Did you check for the dot behind your battery (or BP above the 'made in china')? If you really got this problem, you need to flash the stock rom and send a mail to motorola (do not go trough operators, they r slow and don't give you real solutions). But you have flashed a bld6 rom so you have to find a NAND of the right rom and flash it in custom recovery.

You can also do it yourself. It involves screwing open your front and solder a new speaker. It's like $3.

I watched a video on youtube that showed a 1 step revo unroot process. I wonder if anyone here has tried it? I've never used adb so i'm nervous about the traditional revo unroot process.

If anyone has tried it would you post your impressions? Thanks!

[Thunderbolt General] tomv9302:
I can't speak to the method you linked but if you're still looking I used a one click unroot tool from thunderboltforums last night and it worked perfectly. I was a little leery but no issues.

My phone was back to stock and ready for a warranty replacement in about 20 minutes. jcase's name was mentioned in the OP of the tool thread so I gave it a shot.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] joshua_tam:
Hi all,

I am very new XDA, just want to know if anyone has ideas of building ICS into glide?

I am a developer, but I have very rare experience on building android and put it into real device, it would be good if someone could let me help the development =)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
I believe the first step would be to build a Gingerbread version as the driver can be extracted from the current ROM, I have set up a linux box for that and sync the CM7 repo. but as they do not support this device, the extract file does not work and I am stuck at this point,

I am not a specialist but am still trying to find a solution, not very easy though
[Samsung Captivate Glide] joshua_tam:
Actually, will the drivers for gingerbread compatible to ICS?

And will the official kernel source code work for AOSP build(gingerbread)?

I am thinking to reuse some of the source code.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
If my understanding is correct the drivers may not work and the kernel should

But again I am no expert, just reading alot and trying to get it

EDIT: it is not really the drivers but the proprietary libraries
[Samsung Captivate Glide] joshua_tam:
Yup, I remember that when I tried to build CM for G1, I have to extract those libraries.

I remember that it was just a script that use ADB to pull some files from the device, and it is straight forward if we want to write one,

but the question is, which file is needed?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
indeed ! Thant is the question I am fighting with for more than a week now
[Samsung Captivate Glide] joshua_tam:
Do you think we can take reference to some of the existing supported device (such as Galaxy S II) for the files?

I think the structure could be similar (same Touchwiz?), though they are not the same in hardware(glide use Tegra 2 but S II does not).

Hi guys. I recently saw this (http://blog.whitesites.com/HTC-Sensation-4G-Chrome-Polished-Frame__634471425817343750_blog.htm) and decided to try this on my phone's battery cover. it looks pretty cool now, with the battery door shiny and mirrorish. you can try this out too, but make sure you dont sand the metal too hard after the dark blue paint falls off, because thats going to give it scratches that are hard to remove. you can use about 100 grit to remove the paint, then 400 to make the surface smooth. with the new look, i feel like i have a new phone again. haha :D
[Milestone XT720 General] shungun:
Post pictures when you are done! I was considering it too, but i really like the feel of the blue material...
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
here, ive uploaded a picture, its in the first post. i like the new texture now, it feels just as smooth as the front glass! and it feels cooler in my hand too (maybe because im touching the metal directly, and not through the paint) :D
[Milestone XT720 General] shungun:
Wow! That looks really good! I'll do this when i have time
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So here is a little trick to go along with that. Since the blue / purple backing on the battery cover was a rubber composite, it tended to hold heat more. Now that you got that barrier off, here is the next step. Wrap your battery in aluminum foil and then put the cover on. Since aluminum foil doesn't conduct heat it will transfer it to the backing (since it doesn't actually touch the battery without the foil bridge) and dissipate the heat during use. This will keep your temperature down and for what it is worth, extend lifeline of the battery. I actually did this a long time ago (only in didn't sand the back, I soaked the cover in acetate solution and the rubber peeled right off) and it works fairly well, especially when using CPU for a duration like online music.
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
cool, what made you put that cover into the solution? sounds much better cos it doesnt leave scratches. where do you get it?

if you allow heat to go into the cover, wont the phone feel much hotter in your hand? and wouldnt it affect the temperature of the lcd? my phone gets hot sometimes when charging, so i just remove the cover and leave the phone standing on the windowsill to prevent that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Acetate is really nothing more than nail polish remover. I was getting my Google on a long time ago and came across it. Some kid with an XT did a YouTube video on it.

Since the heat is dissipating out the back, it doesn't effect the LCD on the front. The cover doesn't get too hot and actually the phone runs cooler bc the heat has somewhere to go.

Think of it like a wetsuit. You are totally dry and warm when fully covered, but open the neck a bit and your whole body gets cold. Phone is same way bc of the rubber coating. Remove that and the heat has somewhere to go and not stay trapped inside and cause possible damage to battery and CPU.
