If all your looking for is the facebook sync, just download photo sync from the market and run it, it keeps all your contacts updated with their profile pictures. Obviously they have to have an account. And like jbb you can change the animations and zip a theme.

I'm currently running orange deblur 4 with his red ginger theme.

Also quadrant is nice, but try lynpack. , gives you mflops which is an important, number... Can't get mine passed twenty.

Does any one mind sharing what, they have their setvsel or milestone set to? I'd like too get the most oompho can and be stable

Edit: Meant download syncmypix to get your facebook contacts.

Right now im on 3.4.2(tried out Pay's ROM), so since its froyo, i can use these ROMs right? or no?
[Defy Android Development] shady_lanem:
Just realized voice search isn't working. Kept showing force close
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
same here not that i use it
[Defy Android Development] aLabsko:
Does swype work already after flashing update.zip from first post? Because it wasn't previously.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
yes it is working now, i updated it
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
same here, and i use it very much
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
If i jump from Pay's ROM to the JB3's Orange one, it'll work once i flash the t-mobile-2.2_boot_only.sbf? Because right now i'm on 3.4.2.
[Defy Android Development] bkuu:
hey guys, whats the difference between the TMO Based and the UK one? Can I flash either? My phone is from TMO btw.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
the tmo based includes wifi calling so if you want that, then go for it.IMO the UK based performs better but doesnt include wifi calling
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
jboogie3, the weak or out of sync flash how can be solved? I am with the higgsy rom now, could be solved trying this? Flash from the beginning or only the nandroid?

thanks!

Edit: Btw... which is the latest? The orange?
[Defy Android Development] RaZi3L_:
ok... i read the entire thread, the 95 pages :rolleyes:... but... sincerely... the installation instructions are not the best... The defy is from my girlfriend... i have a SGS and i'm used to other installation procedures. Someone in this thread say that we can follow the installation instructions from the adlx.xda post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940647)... but still I do not know if I'm in case one or two from his instructions:

* Case 1:

---If you come from a US T-Mobile Defy with the 3.6.90 update

---If you have already flashed a non-downgrabable sbf (2.51 or 3.4.2).

* Case 2: If you are not in case 1.

I have the 2.51 official version from vodafone (OTA updated).. so... i don't know if i'm in case 2 or maybe in 1 (although i have 2.51 version i don't flash nothing yet...). I think i'm in case 2, but I need to be absolutely sure... so.. anyone can help me? pls :p

I'm sorry if my english sounds a bit rude but it is not my natural language :)
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
Can someone please answer???
[Defy Android Development] Bill Noneya:
shouldnt need to flash it but if you do yes it will.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Instructions:

1Boot into Stock recovery (Power On/Vol Down, then press bottom right hand corner of the screen when you see the warning sign) Then perform a data wipe.

2Go into bootloader mode (volume up and power) then Using RSD Lite flash the 2.2 Chinese ROM

3Once the phone has rebooted, skip set up, root via superoneclick and then install clockworkmod recovery/apply.

4Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery and wipe data/cache

5Now go to backup/restore and restore the froyo rom of your choice.

6Once the restore is complete pull the battery, as you are reconnecting the battery hold volume up, so that it goes straight into bootloader.

7Once in bootloader flash the 2.2tmo_boot only .sbf

done

*the update that i provided is optional.Some have reported issues after applying.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
orange is latest.. follow the instructions above and camera will be fine
[Defy Android Development] shady_lanem:
jboogie can you make a little fix to the voice search force close issue? Not that i'm using it very often but it still seems amiss with something not working properly :)
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
sorry about that.. i optimized a lil too much.. thats why it doesnt work. here you go and for others that want it. http://www.mediafire.com/?e8umylwad1kpwqj

I dont use it so didnt see it :(
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
installed zip voice search back to normal btw i keep forgetting to mention im still having the 4 bar issue with the single did you ever patch the rom back to 5 bars?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
i made it to show only 4 even if on 5bars.
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
ah ok fair enough would it be possible to do a 5 bar fix or would that be a lot of work for such a small problem
[Defy Android Development] Sutitan:
Im running tmobile US froyo beta v4 and all seems perfect besides the fact that the camera doesnt link to the gallery. I can get from the gallery to the camera. When I click the gallery link from the camera is says "media gallery not installed". Any idea?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
i will fix for 5 bars tomorrow hopefully... for the media gallery link missing. u need to have the stock gallery as well, which i did not include in the tmo build.You can fix it yourself by placing a stock deodexed mediagallery.apk
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
nice one dude :D
[Defy Android Development] RaZi3L_:
thx very much... so... should I follow those instructions for a 2.51 official version (not yet flashed)?
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
if you want to use this rom, you should :D
[Defy Android Development] heglen:
I'm more pleased by this ROM the more I use it. I don't even know if it's worth bothering to flash that update.

If I have to mention something, it's that I would've wanted more themed icons, Market and such are just plain stock. I think I can live with that. :D
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
Vince89, how do you close the radio app?
[Defy Android Development] bam0:
My favourite ROM so far on the defy, just one question, how can I disable the screen/window transitions? They look cool, but after a while I find them a bit annoying. Turning the transition speed to instant removed most, except for the one in the notification bar.
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
not sure that i mean the same, but while in radio app try menu button -> close

defy+tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
go to spare parts and change window and transition animation to fast. or just go to settings and turn them off
[Defy Android Development] J_abba:
i flashed the T mobile Based Blurless Ginger Beta Froyo 4 and i must say its impressive the only problem im having is that the camera does not work i have a UK t mobile defy?

Any suggestions on what to do `

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
if you follow the instructions on the original post(which i updated) you camera will work perfect
[Defy Android Development] J_abba:
I havent updated before so flashing into china version thing i missed instead i did recovery and then flash the bootloader everything is working lovely except camera do i need to do it again this time flashing it with china 2.2?

Also wifi calling is not working with my t mobile sim its saying invalid sim im also unable to remove it aswell.
[Defy Android Development] vince89:
I change from radio to music, let something play, then stop playing. Then press on home hardware button. It is true radio does play in the background, always has. I do not find it optimal.

Hi. Sorry for stupid question. I am using Adlxmod F4D "Froyo for Defy" v2.0 Rom. Before restoring your ROm do I have to wipe or not? Thanks
[Defy Android Development] scripttec:
just tried to flash this rom but my defy "hangs" with a black screen after i flashed (successfully) the 2.2 chinese rom :(

any hints?

edit: rsd recognizes the phone, so i think it's not totally bricked...
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
You have a downgradeable firmware previously, so u need to flash back to one of them and root. All you have to do is just restore my backup after
[Defy Android Development] scripttec:
already tried that, but still no success :o

flashed from a "fresh" stock defy

edit: puuh, just flashed the UK 3.4.2-117 Motorola SBF and now it works again...

edit2: finally i got it :-)

thanks jboogie for your great work and support

btw full signal-bar also works perfect!
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Wipe it before restore, not after
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
thank you so much
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Well mate, i keep coming back to your ROM xD

Really snappier than others, i was just wondering, is there any easy way to add the motorola facebook sync to this rom?

Really the only thing i like on Blur :\

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Using this rom for half a day now and it's really nice. :) Snappy, practically no trace of blur which I really love and just about all the basic stuff I need.

Just one little issue and that is that it's impossible to unlock the phone in the lockscreen with the menu button. Don't mind to use the slider, it's just that I got so used to unlocking with the button. Is there a quick fix for this?

Other thing that doesn't seem to work is twitter contacts sync. In the regular twitter app sync is turned on but it simply doesn't show in the contacts list. The only linked account with every contact so far is google.

Facebook also doesn't sync but that is simply because Facebook doesn't allow it on the Defy. Looked into it but was unable to find a way to circumvent this limitation. If you or any other devver finds a way then it would be nice to have the modded apk integrated with deblurred roms. :)
[Defy Android Development] _ossie_:
??? My Facebook syncs via MotoBlur.
[Defy Android Development] scripttec:
rom is running great so far, but i still can't download apps via the market :o

already wiped, restored and reflashed several times the rom and update, but still no success...

how did you guys got the market working??
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Some people don't want to use blur. It slows down the phone and I simply find the whole blur system well... redundant. Facebook integration is a native android feature. It's just that the official facebook app only allows it on certain phones which is quite annoying.
[Defy Android Development] adsoftware11:
I just downloaded again, extracted and copied to the appropriate folder. The revovery tool is finding the image, but it still gives me an MD5 mismatch. What's wrong here, the files are dated 12/18/2010 12:21?
[Defy Android Development] Dalamak:
well your right threre as for the checksum error to be honest, I don't know, I did this last nite, and there was no problem, maybe jboogie has input. otherwise what are you using to extract the. rar? I used 7ZIP, maybe try that, could be the archive software messing up, sorry to see you have so much trouble
[Defy Android Development] adsoftware11:
Just used 7zip to extract, it was winrar before. That's not the reason for the md5 mismatch. How do you connect to the device from PC. I just have this MotoConnect thing.
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
Definitely looking forward to beta 4!

And retail sucks...esp this time of year!
[Defy Android Development] Dalamak:
when you connect the usb, you'll get something in you notification bar, click on that, and it willl ask you how you want to connect media share ... etc, I choose Memory card access, then go to my computer in windows, select the device and go from there

I installed but didn't play around with the motoconnect, reminded me of the black berry phone interface.

Really I don't know if this is your problem, Jboogie, might have changed the link file, and its corrupt now.

I wish u the best, and if I had the phone with me, I would send u the files
[Defy Android Development] vanloque:
JBoogie, thanks a lot for the hard work.

As your work is coming along, are you still planning on working on a port of 2.2, or even 2.3?
[Defy Android Development] demolition23:
known bugs for this rom?
[Defy Android Development] desillusion:
read some posts ago:

font color doesnt match (or better said, it does nearly match the background..) all the time (but u can change that)

sms/mms wont work (+ error message on bootup)

some other minor glitches.

apart from that it works flawless.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
what firmware do you have?
[Defy Android Development] adsoftware11:
I finally managed to flash the Rom. The md5 error was caused by moving the files on sdcard, but a direct copy to the target folder did the job.

Nice Rom btw, however SMS service is failing. Also I'm wondering, is MotoBlur hopefully entirely gone, it says "you need motoblur to do this" at some stage in contact.
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Hi Jboogie,

please tell me, have you got the orginal kernel from motorola in your rom?

Is it possible to port a new one in our rom?

Or can´t we do that because the bootloader?
[Defy Android Development] desillusion:
jboogie3,

2.1-update1

d'ya need other information?
[Defy Android Development] fishbowlhead:
What kind of battery life are you guys getting with boggies blurless rom?
[Defy Android Development] andyirons:
first of all, thanks for your work. I installed beta 4 from your twitter and sms/mms app is not working at all.
[Defy Android Development] ultrablower:
I like this rom, but my clock in the notification bar is black. The problem is that the background of the notification bar is black, too. So i can't see what time it is. Is there any way to change the colour?
[Defy Android Development] Dalamak:
Hey you still stuck with that unrootable uk rom? Bounce that phone off the wall and have tmo send you a new one lol, because your beta 4 is egarly anticpated
[Defy Android Development] tnicko:
For some reason I can't get this to install.

I'm in CMR, I go to restore and it says no files found. I've dropped the "beta3" folder onto the sdcard in the "goakprev/backup/" folder.

Am I missing something :/
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
Are you dropping the zip file or the unzipped folder?
[Defy Android Development] tnicko:
Nevermind...I realized that the "goak" was a typo...It should be "goapk", lol. I happen to catch the name when in recovery :o
[Defy Android Development] tnicko:
Been running this for the last few hours and have noticed a couple things. although my APN's are set up identical to my Nexus one, I'm not getting any GPRS. Under the test menu, it's saying that data is not subscribed. Which doesn't make any sense. I made sure data was enabled under data manager and under mobile networks.

I'm also noticing that all signal bars will disappear and I get the emergency calls only icon.

Widgets also seem to disappear, i.e fancy widgets.

I've tried wiping a couple times and still run into these issues. May have to go back to 2.21 or 2.34 but I really was hoping for a clean rom without any of the blur stuff ;)

Sync Facebook contacts to Phone

As I have mentioned time and time again, if all you are looking for is to sync your Facebook freinds pictures to your phone contacts, all you need to do is download Syncmypix from the market.

No point in bogging down your phone with blur apps when you can do the same with the market app I just mentioned.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Which version of the rom are you trying to run? Wipe before and after you restore...
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
You can download the live on in the market, get it here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stealthcopter.nexusrevamped

the latest Orange Deblur BlurlessGingerFroyo 4(Final), also with the update.zip

wiped before and after...

installed manually the market 2.2.11,

tried to fix the android_id described here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917355) but still no success :confused:

now i tried it with the S.Froyo PL Rom, but here it's the same...
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Have you tried this http://www.filesonic.com/file/58291189 (Try just installing as normal rather than pushing with ADB.

What version are you coming from? Was your phone stock prior to trying to flash this rom?

If properly done, you should have a good functioning market with the final rom. Would you be opposed to starting from scratch?? If so, you will need to factory reset from the phone in settings, privacy, factory data reset. Then reroot and follow instructions from step one eclair unless your base version is Froyo.
[Defy Android Development] scripttec:
yes, already tried that version of the market, without success.

yesterday i was flashing from my stock rom; tried to flash the chinese rom where i just got a black screen after flashing :(

tried several stock roms, finally the "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_117" (UK one) worked again.

i've no problem to start again from scratch, which i think did already at least twice today...

just tried to do the factory data reset, but nothing happens when i click on the "Erase everything" button??

strange, strange...

help

Is it downgradable?

I have adlx mod , but i keep nandroid backups of before and after aplying chinese 2.2.1, and another nandroid after F4D installatin, and i also aplied boot-dev-tree .. adlx is also downgradable

May someone tell me which steps i have to do to install this mod pleease, i want it mostly because i don't like blur stuff
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
i assume:

1. boot in stock recovery

2. wipe data/cache

3. flash chinese 2.2 sbf

4. boot, skip setup, root via superoneclick

5. install and apply clockworkmod recovery

6. boot into recovery, restore jb's nandroid backup

7. when restore is complete, pull bat, boot right into bootloader

8. flash 2.2tmo_boot only.sbf

dont know if the first steps with flashing the chinese stuff is necessary, because i dont know what the boot only sbf does to the system.

maybe you could just wipe, install cwm and restore nandroid.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Syncing profile pictures is hardly the same as true facebook integration with your contacts. What I was referring to is being able to check your contact's latest updates within their regular contact profile on the phone. This way you can set notifications when someone posts something, or you can post on their profile through the contact list. And yes, it also syncs their pictures. Facebook unfortunately allows this on certain phones only which is strange because it would work on any phone. I read somewhere you need at least Android 2.2 but instead of checking the phone model Facebook might just as well check for the Android version. That would make a lot of people a lot happier I think.
[Defy Android Development] scripttec:
i don't know what i've really done,

but after several flashes now the market is working again :rolleyes:

thanks for your support!
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
sorry. I tried to restore this ROM , but getting MD5 missmatch. How can I fix it? I am on Adlxmod froyo.

Black Swype

Hey JBB, I have been trying to get this and utilize it on the rom, but I am not having any luck. Bodymilk, a poster on the screenshot thread has come up with some really cool themes, but I am only interested in the keyboard skin.

Thank you to Bodymilk

Anyways, here it is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19539263/Android/Swype/swype_keyboards.zip?dl

I know i have seen this on the droid x threads as well, but I cant seem to get it to work. Possibly because the rom??

JBB please look into or anyone else, I tried using bodymilks metamorph instructions as well as root explorer and have failed on both.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Red Gingerbread

Also JBB, wondering how difficult would it be to add more red to your theme? Maybe on the drop down or the lettering in the text boxes? Is that something that can even be done?
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
After deleting bootanimation.zip I noticed that boot time went down considerably. This is probably true for all roms but still think it's worth mentioning here. :)

I use the swype keyboard which sometimes gives a popup with suggested words. The first word is in white on a grey background. This is generally quite hard to read. Is it possible to change this?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
on my previous roms i didnt even include a bootanimation.. it does take space but its what makes roms different when you boot it up the first time :)
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
Im confused; what should i install first? Nandroid image or zip file ?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
you can only restore nandroid images... so restore that. the zip file is an option to flash by applying the zip from sdcard
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:

Jbb, what's the word
[Defy Android Development] ustmedstudent:
hi jbb, im going to get my defy today (last phone was a window 6.5 with custom ROM) and after doing some researching, i decided to try your ROM first. Just one question though, does the camera flash work ok with the orangedeblur ROM? can i incorporate the fix posted by Higgsy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934366), in other words can i do the camera fix by Higgsy first then flash using your rom? sorry for the myriad of questions, installing a custom ROM for android takes more work than a windows phone flash :), im enjoying it though!
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
glad you will be trying mines out first. The instructions i have post is that way so you can keep flash working properly. Also note if your defy is on a downgradeable firmware.. is it a tmobile defy? the latest batch will have a non down gradeable firmware if so
[Defy Android Development] ustmedstudent:
its an unbranded one, so i hope the firmware that comes with it is downgradeable... I will post once i get it... thanks for the very quick reply! :)
[Defy Android Development] senergy:
Well I've finished installing and setting up. Very Easy, and no issues at all.

OS Looks great, havent found anything that is not working!!

When you say its easy to install QuickOffice, are you talking about from the Market? or getting it from my old ROM somehow, if so how? I have the Nandroid backup of it, so do i need to open it and find the apk and install?
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
