Thanks

Half a year after I bought a Defy+, I made my first ROM. :) As I used to did with the Omnia 2 ROMs, I made this one for myself also, but I share with the community, because I'm such a nice guy. :D If you want, you can give me advices or ideas.

The base of this ROM is the official DFP-231 rooted Gingerbread ROM. I removed some stuff and added apps and features what I missed from the official one. The ROM is a smooth and relatively fast ROM with additional features.

I don't want to change the World with this ROM and it's not a competitor of the big ones (CM, MS2G, etc.) either. It's mainly created for speed and battery saving.

Language support:

EN, DE, GR, ES, FR, HU, IT, NL, PL

Removed:

• The ROM is ~90% "DeBlurred". Some apps stayed, like BlurEmail, Youtube, etc.
  
• Google Quick Search Bar
  
• All types of "social" stuff (Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo...)
  
• Swype (so you can install a newer version)
  
  Added:
  
  • Notification Toggle
    
  • Blur Music is removed and instead separate Blur apps added to music and FM Radio
    
  • V6 SuperCharge Update 9 RC9
    
  • 720p video and panorama
    
  • Deep Sleep support
    
  • USB modem support
    
  • JPEG compression is 100% (for better pics)
    
  • Keyboard backlight fix (Brightness can be set here: system/etc/init.d/08backlight)
    
  • MMCFix (SDcard handling issues)
    
  • All WiFi channels are enabled
    
  • callrecording support (you can use any callrecording app)
    
  • Moto Home swicthed to Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Launcher
    
  • ClockworkMod Custom Recovery (2ndInit Recovery)
    
  • 10 fingers multitouch support
    
  • Reboot option added to power menu
    
  • Di.fm app
    
  • FlashLight
    
  • Newest (19.09.2012) Gmail, Google Maps, Google Play, Youtube and SuperUser apps
    

  The ROM is deodexed, so themes are supported!

i buy a new motorola defy plus mb526

i want to put in a custom rom, but i can't find anything

someone say that cm7 work but someone brick the phone with cm7 who have right?

how it's possible there isn't arom for this phone?

Hi everyone! I have a motorola defy with green lens, and with an interesting touchscreen bug or i dont known. It's really annoying for me please help!

here's some of this thing!

Thanks!

Sorry very new to Android less than a day.

So as I understand it:

1) Root my Defy (straightforward)

2) Install CWM. Is this the easiest way to do it --> install ROM manager ("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en")

Now here is where I get confused:

Can you tell me if the libraries work on: Version.34.177.3.MB525.Orange.en.GB?

? Do I place the zip containing the libraries on the sd card and use CWM? Is that all I have to do? ((http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201070)

)

What I don't understand is why I have to install CWM, can't i just extract the libraries, use a root explore and replace the libraries manually?

Not keen on CWM, might brick my device.

Thank you.

recently i've bought a defy, rooted it and installed shadow's sbf( android 2.3.4) . i was wondering if anyone can help me install 720p video recording on this...tried some options with nandroid backup but no success..

any info will be appreciated

thanks in advance

Cheers Chris

But trying to get a custom recovery+Cyanogen is NIGHTMARE. Following there wiki is just not working.

Please for the love of god help.

I have read that these faults were simply due to the flimsy terminals loosing contact, quite possibly using the headphone socket repeatedly may have caused this. I also read of some people actually swapping them out for K850i earpiece, having better terminals / fit. I think someone had to file the plastic sides slightly to make a perfect fit, but then it was actually an improvement on stock.

Anyway I digress... I wouldn't like to do this myself, so... does it fail again after being repaired?

Thers's only so many trips to repair centre I'm willing to put up with....Great phone

====

EDIT

No the fault hasn't returned. Great phone. I think something to do with the old earpiece having flat terminals & losing contact. New ones with springy terminals that remain in contact with the board.

The error message is the following:

Bootloader

09.10

Err:A5,69,35,00,27

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

I have browsed the forum for some help but found nothing. I have even tried to reset with: Vol Down + Power + right down tap. But the small droid doesn't come up.

After that I brought the phone to the official Motorola service. They dropped the two-year long warranty!

They say I have illegal software installed on the phone. How can it be? They promised a free repair if someone from Motorola support reply in support forum and clarify that this error message doesn't mean illegal software!!!

Here is my motorola support post: Motorola support forum

Any help is welcomed!

This post explains why, provides the files and instructions on how to fix it:

---------------------------------

Here's the sad sequence of events. I thought I'd upgrade my wife's Defy from UK T-Mo/Blur to anything newer. They were good intentions, I tell you.

1. Installed defy-recovery, a nice port of clockworkmod so that I could do a full nandroid backup

2. Copied a cyanogenmod zip to SD card (no flashing performed at this stage)

3. Factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache

3. Installed the CM zip

4. Everything looks great!

5. Realized I needed to get gapps installed, so copied them onto the SD card, but then my troubles started when I...

6. Reinstalled the recovery partition from (1)

7. Result: Hangs on initial splash screen on reboot

From here on, I've been learning about RSD Lite (you need 4.9 not 4.6) and flashing everything I could lay my hands on.

First I flashed UK T-Mo 2.51, but this resulted in no boot screen at all, a truly scary moment. Luckily, RSD Lite could

still flash.

I then flashed UK T-Mo 3.4.2 (Froyo 2.2?), but then couldn't get root with ZRoot (later learnt how to do it manually).

Then I flashed this:

JORDN_U3_97.21.51.rar

from this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143

At this point, this is the *only* SBF I can flash now to get a working phone. Even if I use that as a starting point and apply

updates from the SD card, I end up with a hung boot screen or a boot loop. Even when I restored my original backup, I end up

with a boot loop.

So, you see I've got myself into a bit of a pickle. Is anyone able to help? Please?!

Edit: I should be clear about what I'd like to do! I'd like to be able to either get back

to where I was, or to 2.2 or 2.3. I definitely want to get away from the "JORDN_U3_97.21.51" build. Thanks!

Thanks

I am intrested in purchasing the Moto DEFY

Now i saw the DEFY+ is comming out end of this month and the only diffrence seems to be is the CPU

DEFY: 800MHz Cortex-A8 processor, TI OMAP3610 chipset

DEFY+: 1 GHz TI OMAP 3620 processor

and the OS, DEFY+ has 2.3

Just for thoes 2 things is it worth paying more and waiting to get the DEFY+?

Also how unlockable is DEFY? As i am on o2 and wish to stick with o2 and have seen some posts about DEFY being expencive and difficult to unlock.

Thanks

Basically I want to know if I am within my rights to demand a new handset as it is still within warranty. It costs me money to send it to them each time, and I'd rather not send it back to them again, only to have it returned with the same problem.

Cheers.

And its definitely on the Device list just it hasn't got a picture.

So is there hope for an Official CyanogenMod ROM?

If anyone has any questions, go ahead and ask, I also took a few ropey pictures; I attached final result, have a few I took during the process.

Screen ordered from here: www.sourcingcat.com, took 10 days to arrive

Followed instructions here:

(BTW, no affiliation with either of these sites, feeling pleased with myself and want to share)

Not my work, just posting up here. Props to trickyhenry over at XDA for bringing this to my attention and of course the guys responsible for bringing the Milestone-Overclock to us and adding support for the Defy.

Google Code link: http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclo...es/detail?id=63

So as per the above overclock is now available for Defy. Rooted phone is needed for this to work.

Download the Milestone-Overclock.apk and install.

Open the app and click on load module, then use the slider to select your overclock

QR code for direct access to the apk:

link removed due to a better solution being available

Go here and follow your nose to download the software which you install on your PC and then run, with the phone connected by USB, in order to update the phone - http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/support/update/. 24 hours on from installing the update everything still seems to be fine.

So any suggestions?

I'd like buy Motorola ME525 Defy. (NOT MB525!) This is a chinese version.

ME525

MB525

But this phone have only chinese lanuage?

I know flash MB525 ROM-s to ME525? Or any english language stock ROM? I don't like make a brick.

Thank you :)

So.... Is it possible? I really need to get back to stock (& maybe update OTA the 'official' update).

Should I just send it in anyways? How much would an out of warranty earpiece repair cost?

I'm really dissapointed as this is one of me favourite phones, encouraged to root etc, then part failure :(
