Is there a chance to get an official Gingerbread update for Defy? or at least, could you tell me what's the best ROM based on Gingerbread I could use? there's a lot of them, and I don't know which one is the best :/ thanks!
No, the defy is not a Motorola mainstream phone,no more updates, i recommend cm7, is a froyo kernel gingerbread rom
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
There is no offical Gingerbread ROM for Defy and there will never be one. Period.
But who needs a bloated stock ROM when CM works flawlessly.
Download the CM7.
Or use one of Walter's port of Defy+ Gingerbread ROMS.
Either works perfectly fine.
PS: Both have the exact same hardware except for the battery (and camera in case of green lens). So, you can just use the official ROM and just replace the battery/camera files.
Thanks for the advices, It's a shame, I've been with official releases but I guess it's time to change, I will try CM7, thanks!

What about ICS? Any official ports?
Gingerbread is coming with defy+ but there is no news that defy will get official ics

Hi all,
i've a problem with my Moto Defy.
Some days ago i tried to flash it and I make lot of mistakes. Now I have on it the CM-72 Nightly FOR MOTOROLA DEFY+
What should I do to reinstall the version for normal moto defy and not defy plus without bricking? It's a good idea doing that?
And what should I do to use the camera?
Thanks

Hi all,
When I bought my Defy + I installed CM9 (Android 4.0.4),
CM9 switched off everyday, it had few bugs, because it's IMM76D I think..
Then I installed Codename Android (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585905)
It works much better ! Do you think it's the best Android 4 ROM for Defy + ?
Thanks
Did you have to install any battery fixes?
Glad to know its working for you. Though epsilon3 and Quarx have been doing great work there are still a few bugs.
Hey, no :O
I will install CM7 in fact (for the moment) untill a stable verison of CM9
In fact no, Codename is so good, I'll stay with it

Okay.. So you have a defy+ and flashed this ROM
And it works??
I`ve tested a couple of ROM`s (MS2Ginger, MIUI, CM7 e CM9 and a few others)
In Fact, CM9 still a little buggy, but Epyslon and Quarx`s have made a really great work with his nightly`s
At now i`m on Epyslon Defy+ 042812 last nightly with MS2Ginger4.0 running as virtual system in multiboot and i really love it

Oh nice your Rom is better than mine ? It's Android 4 ?
I have not tested this ROM yet, so i can`t compare it.
Epy`s last nightly defy+ smoothy than others... I think this ROM also very fast, with no FC, no random reboot until now and i`ve noticed a better performance to play some games too (GTA3 with no lags LOL). Video bug still remains (Video works fine in defy bayer camera with Epyslon CM9 4.0.4 042812 MB525 nightly) but this doesn`t problem for me now, cause with MS2ginger4 i have video 720p record and panorama (thank`s to Walter79)...
ps: Sorry my "buggy" english!

Sorry I didn't see your message, what is the french for Stock Version please?
Today at morning i flashed cm9 Quarx`s nighty for defy+ (Video recorder works great. Only panorama not not working) The rom is very smooth and stable, with no reboot. So I dont need MS2ginger in multiboot anymore
Take a loook in the Quarx`s defy+ last nightly (Only if defy red lens or defypplus, off corse!)
Ps: CM9 nightylies works better with Defy red/Defy+ - 4.5.2-109_DHT-22 kernel than CM9 Kernel
Good luck!

Thats really amazing.. This phone is actually a weird piece.
Technically 'Codename Android' is incompatible to your defy+ and should give you bootloops. But here you are and its working.
Hey everyone,
I have been searching all over the web for the best kernel but am yet to find one, so i am after your opinions. What do you believe is the best froyo kernel for Wiui v4 (ICS) that has great performance.
Thanks in advance
There is only on Froyo kernal and other is Gingerbread kernal. Almost all ROM threads have froyo kernal links available. Download and flash.

we know defy xt 535 was in moto official 4.04 and its configuration near to defy,except the CPU. So could some master can transplant defyXT's rom to defy?

The architecture is different. It cannot be ported.
as u say they use different cpu, so it should be quite difficult
BTW.i hate the Image Verification when i reply the thread
Official 4.04 means? Coz i have defy xt and its 2.3.7
