Istalled 2nd init ver2.0
Cant make a bckup..says problm makin bakup..
Is it hapening due to less sd card free space?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Propably yes. You need about 200~500mb depending on the amount of apps.
Also have a look at Titanium Backup. That app is used to migrate your apps to your new rom. For example for savings with games...
Hi Now am using 2.3.7 version and kernal 2.6.32.9-gb in my defy,
Am planing to install ICS 4.0.3.What kernal should download?
Becoz i already tried Mar 3 build but its stucked many times and getting restarted again so pls tel the correct methods and kernal.GApps.
Can any one help me?
If you have gingerbread kernel you need to install a Defy+ build. If you have a normal defy, I think you need to install batery fix as well. I'll try to find it. Defy+ builds work well with red lense defys, but I don't think camera works for green lense users.
Thanks...so shall I install defy + build...and kernal link available separately....what is the use of those kernal...how. and wat should be install

You already have a kernel. Or else you wouldn't be able to use the phone. You've already told me that you have a gingerbread kernel. So don't bother flashing a new one.
Gapps is on first page for main CM9 thread. Battery fix is somewhere in the thread :-/ Look around page 300

CM9 Kernel gives bootloader error. It's for froyo kernel users only (as far as i've understood)
DON'T flash it! It will soft brick your phone!

I hope all doubts over
CM9 builds,gapps & battery fix is enough to my phone to run ICS.
Have to flash above three things?
Am i right?
Yup, that should be it.

If you mean anything else to install, then no. Does charging work?

That is true. I have a Defy+ and I installed the CM9 kernel. It soft bricked my phone and I had to do a SBF flash, root CWM recovery and all things all over!! Flash the CM9 built for Defy+ by Quarx. It does restarts and freezes ocassionally but is okay otherwise for a beta version!!

1. Well use GB Kernel (but as I know, there was issues with proximity. I'all need to confirm that)
2. Kernel first
3. JB. Faster than CM7.

i have a defy + mb526 bl7 (rooted ). i want to install the defy+++ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776161 rom.
bit in the thread it says for red lens version i need to install a gingerbread kernel before installing the defy+++ mod.
my confision is as far as i know the mb526 is a gingerbread device and runs on 2.3.6.
so do i need to install the gingerbread kernel?
i haven't installed any custom roms before so my qstn migjt be a little funny for u guys. please help.
No. Anyhow the latest CM9 ROM uses a 2nd boot kernel.

Can someone please suggest any stable ROM to me for the defy red lens. I need to give this phone my mother who is not a power user and I just need the phone to be very stable, no hiccups. I'm currently running the latest cm10 quarx build which is quite buggy.
Thanks in advance
I suggest the stock rom
