What ROM to use for CM7.2 or CM9

hy .
what is the best sbf to flash if u whant to use CM7.2 or ICS on a Defy ?

Best and reliable is your original stock rom 2.2.2 froyo.

There is a cm 7.2 from today. Two days ago i tried the rom from 01/25.
The camera-picture was inverted and the video-playback was very slow.
Is the hardware acceleration working?
Has the inverted camera been fixed?
Which bugs do i have to expect?

The best rom I've ever used was CM7.2 nightly from 12042011. Everything working perfect and battery record of 2 days and 8 hours. Now I'm using CM9/ICS nightly from 02042012 by Epsylon3, however, there is no camera for red lens (my case), no radio and some other issues. But I'm very happy to use Android 4.0.3 on my Defy.

Cm7.2 plus ice theme for cm7...better than cm9 ATM...performance ..functions & stability

[Q] Question related to kernels

I own a Defy red lens presently on cm7.2 rc3. Base sbf is froyo.
I heard a lot about defy+ being more energy efficient because of its Gingerbread.
Now for my doubt- cm7.2 rc3 is based on GB kernel.
1. Does that mean that installing cm7.2 rc3 over froyo is as good as installing Gingerbread sbf & then installing cm7 for defy+.
2. What if I want to install defy builds later instead of defy+? Flash cm7 kernel I suppose.
3. In essence, is installing cm7/cm9 kernel as good as flashing froyo/ GB?

Any custom rom for defy DFP-231 bl7

hey i successfully rooted my defy plus dfp 231 bl7 i used coustom recovery v5 to install cm9 by fuzz "swank" it's cool but has bugs like no "move to sd" and evn shows insufficient storage error.
is there any solution to that.
or any other roms suggestion. :laugh:

would they work for dfp 231 bl7

I had some strange problems with proximity sensor with CM7 (and BL7).
Ms2Ginger is running just fine at the moment :good:
As long as you don't install some Defy roms (with Froyo kernel) everything should work - with or without bugs

No. I just wanted to list a lot of roms that will not work on bl7 because I don't like you
Of course they will work! Well, I haven't tried them on bl7 since I'm bl6 with bl5 defy+ kernel, but these are all defy+ roms. Good luck! Just remember not to flash kernels e.g. Walter's kernel as it's for bl<6 and will brick your phone!

Better Kernal for Red Lense Defy

Hello Guys,
I am a Red Lense defy user... I am currently running with Epsy's 17th June CM9 Nightly with CM7 Kernal.
I am now planning to flash with Defy+ rom woth CM9 kernal of 6th July.
Is it really advisable to have GB kernal for Red lense DEfy? What are the advantages of having GB kernal over Froyo.
Also whose ROM are better Epsy's or Quarx? Or rather want to know the diffrence between them
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sameer

about cm9 roms, Quarx's and epsy's rom are no different from each other.
Quarx have a defy+, so his defy+ builds are more stable... and Epsylon have a defy, so his defy builds are more stable.
well, this theory is based on my perception, but personally i use epsy's defy 11.07 build, it is stable, smooth(mostly),battery friendly and fully hardware accelerated.
but the choice is your's..
and about defy+ kernel, you have to flash one if you wish to run defy+ build on red lens defy.Otherwise, it won't work

OK i will try Epsy's 11th Jul ROM.... I will just need to wipe Cache and Dalvik right? No need to wipe Data.
I was having some freeze and then soft reboot issues with the ROM is am currently having.

Yes, you are good to go...

Are there any advantages of having GB kernal over Froyo kernal in Red Lense Defy?.

[Q] on cm 7.2 and would like to flash cm 9.1

i have some proximity sensor problems on my defy and im currently on cm 7.2 stable. people have told me that it might resolve itself by changing roms.
so i want this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
so.. when i was on 2.1 i flashed froyo 2.2.1 and then CM 7.2
am i supposed to do the same? or do i simply move it to my sd card and flash via recovery?
