Hmm i wonder can i use fastboot flash recovery.img instead of boot command to install touch cwm from root guide permanently?

Btw ROM Manager doesn't work with this device unless you have recovery.img so its pretty useless, its same as fastboot command.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candb:
To free space in internal memory (that's what is shown in manage apps) use link2sd to relink all apps that are installed under /data/. Also relink the dalvik files from all apps under /flex. Delete all apks from /flex for which you have already updates installed (facebook, gmail, google.play, maps, google-search etc.) Use link2sd to clean the dalvik cache after that. This procedure gives me about 140 MB free internal memory (data partition). and about 60 MB additionaly under /flex which you can use manually if you need internal flash memory. I have installed a total of about 300 mb apps now and (without /flex) still 140 MB free internally.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krule031:
But what if something from /data stop working? I deleted some activitygraph.... and after that i was geting error that it stoped working, so i did factory reset, but I dint lost root:victory:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chackodepacko:
I have no root (because I dont need it currently) and now I have free memory of 90MB. That is enough for me that is why I have not rooted it yet.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krule031:
You should root it because you get a bunch of awesome things you cant do without root, like linking with LINK2SD, A2SD in future when we get custom ROM for this phone.

How much apps do you have installed?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candb:
The activity graph is installed under /flex, so it is best not to delete but rather move its dalvik files using link2sd. if you already deleted it, you can try to remove the activity widget from your home screen (there are two - one for apps and one for contacts). Or replace the launcher with a third party app. A differnt launcher will not use any motorola widgets.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krule031:
I use Holo Launcher, is it safe to move that dalvik cache to SD?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candb:
the link script that is placed by link2sd is run at early boot, so when the launcher is needed the 2nd partition is already mounted, so I'd say you can move all files to it.

Dude.

You recommend ROM Manager as "ther easy Way" and for yourself you say it is to risky.

What's wrong with you!

You push any other to try but you don't.

Now to the facts.

How should ROM Manager have any compatible CWM if we have Root only since a few days?

How should ROM Manager have any compatible ROM or CWM for this Phone if noone of the Devs's currently is workin (im afraid of) on any ROM or other things and if there is never released any pre, pre, pre, pre Beta or Alpha or whatelse Version of ROM or CWM for it?

And.

Sh0m1 is absolutely right if he says, that ROM Manger also with an compatible ROM can brick your device in a few seconds.

But the Abstract of all.

If you don't know what your talking about and if you don't want to try the things you recommend for yourself, then, dont tell it. :mad:

And especially don't recommend it as "the easy way"!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootdefyxt320:
Fact is that ROM Manager is bricks phones easily especially when this phone only has been rooted a few days so you are risking yourself if you download the app to your phone. Is there anyone working on a 2nd-init recovery for our phone yet?

I have managed to enable my GPU on my Defy Mini.

1. Download Root Explorer by searching "Root Explorer apk" in google and download the one uploaded on xda developer attachments.

2. Install the apk you just downloaded and accept Superuser prompt.

3. Mount /system as rw and navigate to build.prop

4. Long press it and choose 'Open in text editor'

5. Scroll down and navigate where it says

debug.composition.7x27A.type=mdp

debug.composition.7x25A.type=mdp

Change from mdp to gpu.

For your info Motorola disabled the GPU on purpose. The graphics drivers are not buggy at all as our ones are the updated ones unlike the first gen of Adreno 200 drivers such as the ones on Fire XT.

You can also change value of ro.camera.sound.forced to 0 in build.prop:

This will keep camera silent only when phone is in silent mode. (But i guess deleting ogg file is a better option for most people ;) )

This enable the graphics processor in our phone. It is disabled by motorola on default to distinguish between low end phones and high end phones. If you enable it will take the load of your phone's RAM and it will utilise the graphics drivers interfacing with GPU instead.

steps:

Open RSDLite and connect the the defy normal (MB525) in flash mode.(vol+ and power it shows bootloader)

" Method 1B: you can find and download the update.zip by yourself, place it on the phone in /sdcard/ and boot into recovery using the 3 button method, choose the option "re-install package" TWO TIMES to load into CWM. Once again the update.zip needs to remain on the phone. DO NOT DELETE!"

Hello,

It might be done but for the moment, that recovery does not have the corect device resolution (320x480)... so in my opinion, it shouldn't be flashed permanently!

For doing this I used a software called "Recovery manager.apk" to flash CWM recovery on my other phone, a Alcatel OT908... worked like a charm!!!

Here is the link: http://blog.podtwo.com/tag/recoverymanager :p

I don't know if this will work on our devices, but... there's the only available option beside "ROM manager"... which I'll never use it again!!!
