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

Best version of CM7

Hi frenz
Please express your opinion which version of CM7 for Defy is best among all available in terms of following :
1) No. of bugs ( Lesser the bugs better the ROM )
2) Battery back up
3) Speed
4) Customization
5) Least call drops
Currently available options ( please add if I missed any other ) :
CM by Epsylon
CM original
CM Quarx
( Don't forget to vote for your fav )

can you also put link of those zip files of :
CM original http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan
CM by Epsylon
CM Quarx

For me nightly from 02.01.2012 was very stable and well performing. Later nightlies have some lags/restarts/fc's etc
I have no idea who did this, but i downloaded it from Quarx's topic x)

I have never really had any real problems with any CM7 version.
I have predominantly used Epsylon's versions.
1) No. of bugs - very few and nothing that would prevent it from being used daily
2) Battery back up - could probably get 2 days but I charge everyday anyway
3) Speed - fast, never notice any lag
4) Customization - very good for customising, although I use GoLauncherEX to do my customising
5) Least call drops - Never had a problem with a dropped call
I say predominantly because as of 2 days ago I have switched to Maniacs version of CM7, this is only because I was having a problem where clocks showed different times, status bar clock only seemed to update every few hours. But this is not relevant to all users of Epsylons version. but Maniacs has fixed my time issue.
Maniacs and Epsylons are pretty much the same with a few exceptions.
I would recommend both

Please do not post questions in the Development section.

As per Polls ,till now Epsylon & Quarx are at par .. anybody who has used both ?
Tell about major differences between both ROMs What about inverted image bug

Frenz Quarx & Epsylon are going neck to neck ..!! .. original CM7 is way behind ..!! ...so pls cast ur vote to see which one is better ..!

what's the different between Quarx and Eps3?

hello friends,
I'm the new guy here,but I used the defy+ nearly half a year.And I always use the Qrarx's ROM from the CM7 to CM10.
In here, I read lots of threads about the defy's ROM, and found that there are two Kings ,Quarx and Eps3.
they gived us lots of wonderful defy(+) ROM,such as ICS and JB which the MOTO didn;t update the OS.
NOW I don't known the diffience between the Quarx's and Eps3's rom.
sombody can explain it for me?
Thanks a lot!~

basically its the same rom, only difference is that epsylon mostly builds for froyo kernel (defy, mb525), and quarx for gingerbread kernel (defy+, mb526). of course being two separate developers, they probably have different bugs. but the functionality and feel is the same, as they both port the official cyanogenmod rom.

Thanks a lot !
My phone is Defy+, seems I choose the right guy, Quarx!
And I will always focus the Quarx's ROM.
:good:

For CMX, Quarx and Epsilon are planning to use a common repository, so I guess they won't have different builds in the near future.

[Q] Most stabe custom rom recommendation?

Hi guys, I've just recently purchased a U8800 (NOT pro, just the normal one).
I did some research already and the more I read, the more confused I am. It seems that many roms, especially the MIUI ones all have similar problems related to performance, wifi issues etc.
And speaking of MIUI roms, I'm not sure which one is the better one (in terms of speed and stability). Here're the ones I'm referring to:
[ROM] MIUI V4 based Elite ROM SX - (Stable) - 2012-07-14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562661
[ROM][MIUI-V4][2.8.3][3.0.8]CrazyMiui|08/05|{SMOOTH,FAST AND STABLE}
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690156
MIUI PORTUGAL V4 - 2.9.29.1 (Base GenoKolar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928336&highlight=miui
It seems that some of them are based on GenoKolar's MIUI rom, and that some are based on other people's roms.
The same applies to other non-MIUI roms, such as this one:
[ROM] Elora 1.10.13 - 2012-10-13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798031
which is a hybrid of DZO's Alora rom and some extra added stuff from other roms.
Anyway, I'm really confused by which one to try. I don't want to risk bricking my device or going through the trouble of testing each one and experiencing the problems or bugs, and then try the next one and so on. I was wondering if someone could kindly provide some suggestions as to which rom is the most stable and is decent in terms of speed/performance.
Also, by stable I mean that it has the least bugs OR that it has the minimum amount of critical bugs that could affect the phone's daily use.
Thanks in advance.

Personally i think that for daily use ezet's CyanogenMod 7.2 with .32 kernel is the best considering performance,battery etc. but it is kind of outdated since dzo has made a pretty stable ICS rom(Aurora) which is a lot newer and smoother but with a few bugs remaining. Not to mention that dzo is from the same city as you haha!

Thanks for your reply!
Ya I also think that CM 7.2 is quite outdated, even my Motorola Milestone (which has locked bootloader and no custom kernel support until recently) is on an even newer CM RC release, I think it's on RC3 or RC4 now.
And ya I also agree that Dzo's Aurora rom is probably the most updated one around here but I did read a few comments in the last few pages about certain bugs so I dunno if I should flash it or not.....

I prefer Aurora 4.1u1 for daily use. There's still some bugs, but with some time and understanding of how to find the reason of your problem you'll get the most recent and stable ROM for U8800 now. Also Dzo's back and he is working on the update now so it wouldn't take long to fix all the bugs remaining.

Hi!
Actually i'm with Elora. It's pretty cool and stable.
Best regards

MIUI PT, based on Geno's version is the way to go., in my oppinion.
Very stable, nice and weekly updated
But, honestly speaking, althought every rom as its ups and downs, nothing like you try them all and see which one adapts better to your needs. :good:

cm10 vs cm10.1

hello guys,
Maybe it is a silly question but what is the difference between cm10 and cm10.1.
I am no talking about the nomenclature 4.1.2 vs 4.2.2. and different kernel but what are the differences which can be noticed by the user.
Of course I ma not talking about stability.
Thanks in adavance

Essentially they are the same, 4.2.2 is slightly improved.
Noticeable differences are quite limited, it has a slightly cleaner look about stock interface and applications, but the change is also opinion based. Some prefer 4.1.2 over 4.2.2.

On defy there's not much to compare at the moment.
Quarx's CM10.1 on stable 2.6.32 kernel doesn't have BT working and new experimental 3.0.8 kernel is very unstable, random reboots etc.
For now I think we should wait for versions for daily use to compare Cm10 with Cm10.1
