bought ideos x5 recently with 2.2.1 as stock rom , as i wanted 2 play games like modern combat 2 so i installed oxygen latest version , but phone kept crashing while palying game , hav tried all cpu speeds .
so i thought there must b some problem with custom rom . now i have flashed cm7 but the problem still persists , fone keeps on crashing . evn sometimes samurai 2 graphics r gone WTFFFFF .
but hav seen people playing these games on youtube , pls help guys !!!!!!!!!!!!
have i wasted my money on this fone ?
cm'on guys , help me
You have seen videos playing these games with ideos x5?
Probably there isn't rom's problem, but device's compability with these games.
You can try franko's kernel too, to see if there is some improvement.
updated francos kernel ( 4 October one ) with cm7 but all in vain . havent u guys tried games yet?????
Is this happening on stock Roms as well?
most hd games dont run 2.2.1 , thats why i rooted my fone
in my cm7 and latest franco kernel gameloft games dont work also, crashes instantly AFTER the download finishes and after that it also crashes instantly when i press the app to open.
in my previous rom (genokolar's b137_v8.4 2.2.2 and a modified franco kernel he released back then) all gameloft games worked like a charm

Hello there fellow Defy modders ^^
In a week & a half :drools: I'll be getting my hands on one of these bad boys...
I've been modding my Huawei IDEOS U8150 for 1 year or so... <<= Easy to mod... & prior to that it's been all Moto's - V360v & Krzr K3
Some questions: re, defy -
*Do I need to check firmware compatibility before flashing a ROM? (old Moto Krzr K3 hang up) If so - how do I find out what firmware is on ph?
*Does bootloader version also affect which ROM I flash? (my old K3 had a b/l that no-one had ever heard of). Again, how do I find out bootloader version? <<= disregard if doesn't hinder modding process...
*Does the recovery that can be flashed via ROM Manager work for all defy? (seems unlikely, but thought I'd ask)
*No Frills CPU app... I'm guessing it doesn't work on defy. Is this the case? Or, does no-one really use it?
*Blur or not to blur... What's the general consensus?
*Is the bootloader still locked? I've seen a few posts around with leaked b/l... has anyone cracked it?
*Is RSD lite a must? Or can we get away with using the Android part of the ph to do all things?
*I am thinking of doing the following (initially - just to wet the whistle) Please advise if I should be doing other stuff...
a) Root using z4root <<= worked on my 2.2 IDEOS, my defy has 2.2 out of the box -=or=- Superoneclick... (having never used S1C - is it safe i.e. no chance of a soft brick)
b) Get custom recovery up & running... bit hazy on this (extra steps needed when comparing to my Huawei - from what I've read), any advice welcome.
c) [Will del crapware 1st] Make a backup of stock using above... (this is hopefully straightforward).
d) Flash a custom ROM... from what I've read this is a contrived process ^^ colored lenses, fixed SBF's, can't downgrade b/l, etc. etc. etc. (ahh, the rigmarole that is modding Moto is flooding back to me now). Which custom ROM should I be looking @ 1st?
e) Help out with testing & sharing where I can... I'm no dev. but I'll help out anyway I can ;-P
T.I.A
Hi,
Yes the bootloader is locked and (at this time) nobody manage to crack it.
In another hand, coz of this, its almost impossible to brick this phone.
You need to follow the rules about the CG versions of the SBF you use before flashing a new rom (no downgradabilty if you use an highter version than your original)
To root different tools exist. It depends of rom version.
Example: Froyo 2.2 -> Gingerbreak. apk / GB 2.3.4 -> Root3 / 2.3.6 -> S1click... But all are safe.
For the installation of new rom use Defy 2ndinit (bootloader locked) incudind CWM recovery... And for the CPU SetVsel apk
But read this thread first, it will help you I think and give you a lot of answers.;-)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Oh last ! The general consensus... NO BLUR
Read here (xda - Android app & games) that z4root 1.3.0 works for rooting defy (stated in OP) + in another thread re, Droid2 hack [was this only valid for 2.1? <<= Guess I'll test it out unless someone says it's a sham -=or=- it'll soft brick my new ph
Can't wait to get my modding claws into it
If your defy is 2.2 Froyo use this tool to root (it worked perfectly for me)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VFHRCZX8
Put the apk on your SDcard, open it and install with file manager (IO file manager from the market is good)
When it's done use 2ndinit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
And enjoy! ;-)
Well... Well... Well...
3 holes in the ground
Couldn't wait, so I went & got my defy early :shh: [don't tell the wife]
What I know/have done to it so far...
*bootloader 9.10
*rooted with Superoneclick
*recovery 2.5.1.8 <<= do I need to upgrade this? xx
*Overclocked 1Ghz with 'Milestone Overclock'. How high can I take this beast?
*Installed RAM script - Juwell
*Backed up
*Installed all my fav apps etc.
*Backed up again
Q's:
#Can/should I install CWM via ROM Manager? (it won't let me use it unless I install CWM) Will this stuff up 2nd init? xx
#Going to try Camera 720p hack soon
#Not going custom ROM yet... want to get to know my ph 1st :chortle:
TIA
Didn't tell your wife !...
Ok I never used ROM manager, too complicated for me (I'm a lazy guy)
For the recovery, the version included in 2ndinit is CWM CyanogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.1.
About 2ndinit, coz of the locked bootloader, you'll be obligated to use it sooner or later, so... (in this case you don't need to have another recovery)
For the CPU, SetVsel on market is ihmo better. (Be careful this apk is included in the CM7 rom, so delete this apk before flashing CM7)
For save your apk Titanium Backup is great.
IO File manager do well the job...
Edit : CM7 and lot of custom rom are already at 1 Ghz (Omap 3630 is underclock at 800mhz (MB525), normal at 1ghz (MB526), overclock at 1.2 Ghz (Droid2)).

I'm thinking if I do a ROM Manager CWM update it'll hopefully dovetail in with 2nd init...
i.e. 2nd init will still work but show the updated CWM :fingers-X:
Read some people have it up to 1.2 - 1.3 OC... but, with no safety valve [used to using No-Frills... it prevents bootloops from to high OC-ing] I'll stay @ 1 Ghz - until I grow some stones :lol:
re, 2nd init - it wasn't available on Market... so I d/l-ed it somewhere else ^^
could you point me to latest 2nd init?
TIA
There ;-)

thnx mdt24 for answering my questions ^^
So, if you dont mind... I'll keep going :lol:
Above is my info...
I'm thinking about debranding/upgrading - but haven't the foggiest on which sbf to use
I figure I'll use TBU pro to save stuff that I want... & restore later.
Which stock sbf do you recommend upgrading/debranding to... I read somewhere that not wiping the dalvik cache keeps a lot of things in tact...
T.I.A
Hi King_Rat,
As I can see you have the lastest Froyo version (2.2.2)
About upgrading/debranding it depends if you have a green or red camera.
You can check it with catlog after using camera : SOC is green; Bayer is red camera.
If you have Bayer module your defy is able to run all GB rom, if it is green only with froyo rom. Hope you have red camera :fingers X:
If you want use Cyanogen (MIUI, WajkIUI...) roms you have nothing to do, just flashing the rom give you the latest Froyo build version (3.4.2-177/179) and a 2.3.7 GB android version.
You can also flash MS2ginger roms (nandroid and fixed sbf) with or without Blur. Good step before flashing a full GB SBF (fix exists to make green lens working). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
If you dont care about warranty and you got a red camera you can also flash the GB 2.3.6 full SBF you want. Work perfectly on red camera Defy (you have a defy+ with defy's battery)... But NO DOWNGRADE to Froyo !!

Bayer = True :woot:
So, if I flash to 2.3.6... I can't downgrade =>> does that mean no running any custom ROM below 2.3.6?
Defy+ you reckon :mmm: ph was only 800 MHz out of the box, but I'm running along now @ 1200 MHz with no probs :kewl:
re, the GB 2.3.6 - will there be any bugs if I upgrade? i.e. camera issues -=or=- no root?
Think I'm gonna try MIUI 2.1.6 to start. After bordem sets in :lol: do I just restore my nandroid backup before changing ROMs -=or=- do I need to install a clean full sbf to change to a diff. ROM?
thnx again for your time & thoughts

Exact, but almost all the custom rom have a defy+ version now - The only problem is that u can't go back to froyo
Defy+ you reckon :mmm: ph was only 800 MHz out of the box, but I'm running along now @ 1200 MHz with no probs :kewl:
No problem to run at 1.2 Ghz, maybe the only one is the battery fast drain, coz of the hight vsel u need to prevent FC's
re, the GB 2.3.6 - will there be any bugs if I upgrade? i.e. camera issues -=or=- no root?
No bugs, its a very good GB version. No camera issues if you have a bayer (red) one root with S1Click 2.3.3
Think I'm gonna try MIUI 2.1.6 to start. After bordem sets in :lol: do I just restore my nandroid backup before changing ROMs -=or=- do I need to install a clean full sbf to change to a diff. ROM?
No need to flash a full SBF, you have just to make a wipe data, wipe cache, and -advance- wipe dalvik before flashing the new rom. Sometimes a wipe cache is enought (and u dont loose ur data) but it's always better to clean completly the ph before flashing - A battery calibration is recommended also after flashing a new rom
thnx again for your time & thoughts

Ok I think you are ready now. Enjoy! And please tell your wife you got a new phone before she thinks you have another girl in your life...
:lol:
flashed MIUI 2.1.6 [not sure if it's the latest, coz most of links around all forums for other MIUI versions are dead?
It's bloody fantastic!! 2371 on last Quad score & 16.43 MFlops :woohoo:
Having Wifi connection issues :grrr: could be the deal breaker if cannot remedy
Tryng to find fix 1st two solutions are null
Wife knows ;-) [I haven't told her]
Yes MIUI 2.1.6 is the latest.
Are you on froyo? Wifi issues is a well know problem with Defy on froyo, and you'll have this kind of issues with lot of rom (but generaly it's always possible to find some fixes in different threads).
With GB now I haven't wifi issues anymore...
Wifi fixed :woohoo:
Just had to get near modem last night while wife :ZzZz:
Installed some themes & added gps satellite info. :BooM:
Now having usb mass storage not showing? [no biggie as I prefer Android Manager for file transfer].
Will try usb storage on lappy tonight :mwahaha:
Having used CM7 almost exclusively on my 'other' ph. I must say that MIUI is a step up ^^ half the apps I use to run are all automated & part of the MIUI system... + the themes are smokin!
Do CM7 features change that much from model to model?
Will keep MIUI for a 'wee' while then have a look around... maybe :chortle:
thnx for ur time
Hi King_rat ;-)
I like CM7 on defy because it looks like an AOSP gingerbread rom (Nexus S - you can use the AndroidUsersGuide 2.3 to manage this rom).
I think is because of this all the other roms as MIUI, WajkIUI... use CM7 as base to make a custom rom.
My Defy is my first Android phone, so I really don't know if there is some differences with CM7 on the other phone.
... and don't hesitate to give me some advices about the rom you test... ;-)
was dam debug! toggle on for this.... toggle off for that... :lol:
Thinking about now trying wajkIUI 2.1.6 ICS... looks like improved version of current ^^
Can't find any way to change carrier text in my current ROM... have had several <fails>
Themes are outstanding!! Using a Honeybread theme... it's tight
wajkiui... maybe later today.

No, it was on this rom when I bought it... French market...
Good morning,
i'm using the Lightspeed 4.7 Rom from smaury, i installed the unlocked ICS bootloader v5, did a full wipe and flashed the Rom. Everything worked great so far, really smooth, fast and stable Rom.
But there is one Problem, most 3D Games i use crash after some time (Shogun HD, Defense Zone HD, Super Laser, Anomaly HD, Xelorians,...) some of them freeze others just close. Games like Angry Birds, Osmos HD, TowerDefence or Pax Britannica run without any problems. I didn't had this Problems with the old custom HC rom (also the Lightspeed version 8).
I Googled the problem but couldn't finde any helpfull tips. Could anybody tell me if this is a Problem with ICS in general, or the custom ICS Rom i'm using and is there a fix for this problem. Maybee somebody with a untouched ICS Rom could try one of the game for all arcade shooter fans i recommend Shogun HD !!
I just tried it out using Civato's latest version of Flexreaper and no problems here. It is a neat little game.
Thx! Downloading Felxreaper atm, cwm backup is running, i'll give it a try!
Dude try the games cooked by escorbutopia for asus TFT101, works very smoot in the iconia A 500, I tested in my tablet and don't crash at all and the acelerometer is working fine.
I don't have a problem of crashing, more like the games will freeze and the screen will flash consistently. I need to force close the game (or it does it itself).
Hi,
This may sound repetitive but I think it is important for me to put this issue up.
Ever since I upgraded my Yureka to Lollipop, my phone seems to have lost a major chunk of it's performing speed. Low performance level games like Subway Surfer, Temple Run 2 etc. which used to run flawlessly before the upgrade now are all laggy and heat the phone up like crazy. My phone used to heat up only after playing games like Asphalt 8 before the upgrade, but even then the game never lagged. Now all games heat the phone up and lag after a minute or so of playing. The phone heats up even on stand by. I don't want to get back to CM11 but I am starting to think I don't have a choice.
Is there anything at all that you people can suggest for this? I'm desperately looking for a fix. I have not rooted the phone, ever. Suggest if anything can be done without rooting the device.
There are some major issues with stock CM12... U got to deal with it or have the choice to downgrade to KK But my suggestion would be to root the device & install Resurrection Remix Rom which is 5.1.1 & it seems to have ignorable bugs... U can try performance oriented kernel to get the max perfomance & there are a handful out there which are 5.1.1 compatable...
(Rooting doesn't void ur warranty, then why u prefer not to root? )
Just looking for options without having to root

Thanks for your reply, actually I wanted a permanent fix to this issue and if possible without the root, it would have been better. Is there no other possibility?
Well this is permanent fix. I am also using Resurrection rom with Sandy's kernel and everything is fine. No lags, no overheating, and charging time has also reduced.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to overclock the Note 3 with MagmaNX rom installed? I've installed the note 8 rom and the phone is sometimes slow. Maybe I need to boost the CPU? I don't play games and the phone is mainly for work.
Thanks.

Something wrong with your setup not the rom .
Just flash this kernel and you won't have any lag or stutter.
