Look for the ROM thread that has the most number of pages, or look in the Q&A sections.
By the way this question should be posted in the Q&A section, and you should read the forum posting rules.

I agree with this. But personally, I'd go with asgard. It's been the most stable and battery friendly in my opinion.

Second that! Oh and yeah bad place to put this. Actually this question get's asked a lot, yet there is no definitive answer it seems?... I believe it is all about personal preference. MIUI seems to have a great balance of everything I could want in a phone and super user friendly customization. I searched a month for a rom... Tried most 2.3.x and while they all offer something and are greatly appreciated... I just so happen to like MIUI the best. Goodluck!

Cm7 is what many people go for, but if you google the things you can do in MIUI, then you will see it offers the most features. The non stock version that nickminn updates every friday seems to be better than any other 2.3.5 rom I have seen otherwise.. but they all have bugs, reduced battery life versus 2.2.x, and barely or non working gps.
The bugs I still had when I stopped using it a few weeks ago: media button on headphones doesn't work, if listening to music when you get a call and you answer, the music will continue to play, you have to restart it after charging(at least after long charges) or it will not go into deep sleep, and occasional sd card issues(my music player would too often not be able to find the music).. the plus side is all of the features: the notification bar being customizable and shortcuts to each toggle, the ability to theme EACH part of the UI individually, the built in backup/restore, the battery tracking, the device data usage app, the multi touch drag/drop and tons more.
Also I was getting 16-20 hours under heavy/moderate use which is the best I have seen on any ginger rom including cm7.. on ANY 2.3.5 rom you need to use cpu spy to make sure it goes into deep sleep to have good battery.
Hope this helps.. there is a large trade off using any gingerbread rom until we get the source code-- I went back to 2.2.1 because EVERYTHING works, and I simply can't kill it in 24 hours unless I TRY.. I get 24-48 hours per charge. I miss the features of MIUI, but not enough for the costs-- most of the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 is mostly cosmetic in the end.

I think he means 2.2 roms that look like GB. In that case, try Bionix 1.3.1. It should be easy to find.

Hey bro! Can you please help me flash it because I tried it! Can you give me step by step tutorial? Please thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

why would you want a 2.2 rom that looks like 2.3 when you can have 2.3?
that's like body kitting a car to look like a ferrari when you can just get a ferrari... sure the ferrari may get worse gas mileage, but it's still definitely worth it.

Root. Install rom manager. Install vibrant recovery via rom manager. Download bionix 1.3.1. Reboot into recovery. Clear cache and and dalvik cache. Install zip from sd card. First boot takes a bit and your phone starys talking saying its enabling vodoo lagfix. And then you are done

I use CM 7.1.0.1 on my vibrant. its the latest stable build. You have to install vibrant mtd recovery via rom manager. You can also download cm or other ginger roms from there... gapps too
However if you do go to ginger you have to odin back to stock if you wanna return to froyo

cm7, miui, and there are plenty of others. cm7 is as easy as odin to jfd, root, install rom manager, flash cm7 and the gapps. miui should be the same. for any of the samsung i9k based roms you want/have to flash new bootloaders (at least that was the case last time i used one).

if you installed clockwork recovery and you are getting the stock recovery, you need to hit 'reinstall packages' (sometimes twice).

In that cas zendroid with his gb theme that is in the thread I actually prefer his vanilla aosp theme which is also in his thread. Way more up to date then bionix. Best 2.2 imho don't look back.

[q] ril problem

Can someone give me an advice?
I have a defy+ with bl7 and since I have flashed the 11.10 build I noticed that my phone acts weird:
1. the phone signal shows full, data is on(H-symbol) but the signal icon it's not blue and I cannot receive calls. Trying to turn on/off data nothing happens. Turn on/off airplane does nothing. Only if I reset the phone I can receive calls.
2. Flashing stock Rom or 2nd init builds solves this problem but appear another(random reboots)
3. In 2nd boot builds the battery drain is very high even with the latest build. Only when I change the file libril.... from Walter MSGINGER the battery drain its normal but the issue with the phone still on.
This is happening to me 2-4 times / day
So the advice I ask is that
It's a hardware problem or is a software problem?

Defy Mic not working ??

Hi everyone i have a moto defy with cynogen mod installed and the mic has stopped working, it works in speakerphone but not regular mode. I have cleared the cache and factory reset it but still no luck. Does anyone here have any experience with this issue ?
Thanks Tom

Try a sbf flash, that rules out any software glitches
And what build are you using
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

its running cyanogen mod 9-20121116-Nightly-Jordan android 4.0.4 and its a green lense model.

i use RSD Lite and will any sbf work ? im unsure of the original carrier, so im going to try a british retail version.
and super1click to root it ?

Try the one corresponding to your earliest stock build. Don't worry about original carrier, you can use the one closest to your current carrier
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

reflashed back to stock motoblur, its really slow ! and it did not fix the mic, guess i have to buy a new mic for it ?

If it's broke in stock, then you'll have to replace the Mic
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

how do i do this ? also i oppened it up and it looks as if the mic is missing, at the top of the main board, there is some solder and no gold mic..
Cheers Tom

Sorry, but I cannot help you there, since I'm not well versed with phone hardware repair. I suggest you search for a disassembly guide for the Motorola defy

[Q] freeze - CM10 Sister Jelly Bean V3.1.6 | Defy / Defy+ | 20/03/2013 (LM.)

Guys i have problems with JB SISTER.
I dont know why, but i can not post in defy developer.... then i'll post here.
Thread JB SISTER: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192807
My problems with this version: frequent LAG, freeze when i open any app. The only way for restart android is remove the battery. Ah yes! the boot takes too long to start. Too long!!
Well, i had before this version Quarx version (4.1.1), and i only wiped data and flashed above it.
Then i think: I'll back to stock rom.
Following instructions, i back to retail stock android, because i did not want more problems. After this, i flashed the JB SISTER.
This time, freeze are less frequent but, when i open two or more apps, the system freeze fully, then i remove battery and it all starts again. The problem of boot takes too long continues.
I wonder if anything succeed solve this problem.
Anyway, i think of changing this version totally unstable.
Thanks so much.

nope bro i oo did tat wipe and made it proper which made me not to install fursquare and lots many apps ... which says ur not allowed to install itseems ...yukkk ..remaining everything is awe and faster not a single lag for me MB526 motorola defy + JB sister

I hope so.

If the first versions are working, I can fix it. It could be related to the modified battery driver, though, it shouldn't actually freeze with it. Do you have the updated baseband when installing stock GB?
