i am not quite sure and not a developer but i think you could. maybe with some .zip. ive seen other zip's that were used for changing the status bar icons - but for an other ROM. why not message walter and ask him , he always helps

You could try "cooking" a theme with just the battery icon you like from the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen.

thank you ejstubbs,. i cooked the theme n m all smiles!

b) Secondly should I use fixed sbf of Froyo or MS2giner ?
Please help me to understand this concept, I am really really confused , N I am dieing to update my Defy .. Pls support ..!!

[Q] Pls HELP: Upgrading my Defy

Hi All
I am newbie here. Having a Motorola Defy ( Bayer module ). Want to update the Froyo 2.2.2 to GB. I read lots of articles on this site & watched videos. Found a video on youtube flashing defy with MS2Ginger. Link is as below :
youtube.com/watch?v=veF5u-BOTJo&feature=related
( Please add www as this doesn't allow me to add )
Just wondering if someone could tell me if this is safe method to flash my mobile ( in case if something goes wrong or I don't like the ROM, I could go back to my Froyo ). In the video person has used fixed sbf . Please suggest, can I use this method to flash ?
Secondly, which ROM will be better : CM 7.1.0 or MS2ginger ?
( In India , lots of call drops n data problems kind of things I have read on this site ) But I want a fast and hassle free ROM. Please suggest if any other good ROM is there , particularly suitable to Indian conditions.
Sorry for my poor English . But please support.
Thanks
Tarun

For upgrading using sbf, follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Check the version you want to upgrade. I have defy+, with 2.3.4. I flashed mine to 2.3.6 in 15 minutes.
Download the motorola driver ,RSD Lite, and the stock sbf which your model supports.
Shutdown defy. Press Vol Up + Power, connect usb. run rsd lite to install the sbf. It simply flashes the phone to the new version.
Or you can use recovery (Vol Down + Power ) then Press Volume up. Here you can flash using recovery any CM7 based roms.

Which ROM is good enough
Thanks ksrgroup, but any suggestion for ROM, like almost every ROM has some problem. I was planning to choose one CM 7.1.0 & MS2ginger ? .. Any idea..
Also, flashing full sbf I guess my downgradability will be lost.
Can someone clear this concept under what circumstances my downgradability is lost ?
Pls help

Pls help
Did anybody check the youtube link i gave ? Can someone tell me if its the method which keeps the downgradability ?
Please support..
Also, suggest a good ROM too..!!

Hi,
Your current rom is froyo 2.2.2 version. If you want save your downgradability DON'T FLASH a FULL GB SBF. You can flash all the CM7 (froyo original kernel) and MS2ginger (Nandroid + fixed SBF) roms without problem and all the NANDROID of GB version made by walter79. But don't forgot to made a nandroid backup of your rom before and try to find the full sbf of your current rom if you need to go back stock (warranty).
About the rom CM7 vs MS2ginger :
This roms are very different so try them to make your own opinion. My favorite is CM7 (more closed to AOSP rom) but it's really a personal choice and these 2 roms are pretty good.

Steps for making Nandroid back up for MS2ginger
Hi

Call drops with MS2Ginger : Pls help
Hi all
Finally after reading lots of details I updated my Defy with MS2ginger 2.1 ( GB 2.3.4) .. .. But I am facing 2 probs :
1) Call drops : many times my fone gets disconnected . I tried ITfunz baseband switcher, but couldn't find the one for India. Then in this case which should be used. Secondly what is the method to find currently which band I am using.
2) There is an app " Accu weather " . I don't want to use this app. it eats a lot of RAM . Any method to uninstall it from my Defy.
Please help frenz..!! ...

To check the band you use : Settings / Wireless and networks / Mobile networks.
For save/recover/delete apps : Titanium backup on the Market

but how to stop call drops ..???

You don't need a specific baseband for India, use anything that says 900/2100MHz because that is the frequency that mobile service is provided here. (900/2100MHz in Hong Kong = 900/2100MHz in India or anywhere else in the world)

If you mean system app, you can remove it using Titanium Backup. Or just freeze it if you have TiBkup Pro...
Or if you want, you can delete it from /system/app using some root explorer like ES File Explorer with root permissions

Tarun, I tried almost all the available ROMS for defy, and i would suggest cm7 or ms2g. If you have titanium backup pro, then you can freeze otherwise take backup and uninstall. For speed improvements you can overclock and remove the moto bloat ware. If you have root explorer you can simply edit system/bootmenu/config/overclock.cnf file otherwise boot into boot-menu, then cpu-settings and change the clock and vsel values to your likings and save (dont forget) and reboot.
You can use LG camera for video bit rate changing, i use 720p with 13-20mbit/sec rate and quality is very good.
The battery consumption in standby is vry low for ms2g till all the roms i used. during night where in unused timings for every 3+ hours 1% consume which is too good. For CM7 based roms it was 35-40min whic too bad for me. wait for a day/two till your battery stabilizes.

[Q] Best method to root and upgrade from 2.2.2 for a friend?

Hello guys,
sorry for probably not having searched long enough, but there is just a mass of threads to dig through...
A friend of mine has the Motorola Atrix and I want to help him upgrade it to the latest rom version, plus root the device... so I was wondering what method to use and which rom etc?
Myself I own a Samsung Galaxy i9000, so I know how many different roms exist for each device lol.. but no clue about the atrix (yet).
My friend is visually impaired and in order to change the display dpi we need to have the phone rooted.
Hope you can point me in the right direction so I don't have to spend too much time researching about this atrix.

Try either of the links,

For custom rom, try GingerMod 2.3.6 #7, best ROM i ever used, runs so smooth and better battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400023

Thanks man!
That gingermod rom looks nice, unfortunatly it doesn't seem to support german. (forgot to say that my friend doesnt understand english so well and thought roms would usually always support german lol)
So are there any good with german language anyone can recommend? Preferably with Motoblur, or does motoblur get f*cked up by dpi changes?

Unfortunatelly I have the U8800 non pro, so I cannot be much of a help.
You should consider looking at this link as a start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_U8800_IDEOS_X5
There you will find everything about your phone.
Probably you should install a custom rom but be very carefull, as flashing a rom to the wrong kernel/phone might cause big problems.
Read the threads, have patience and eventually you will succeed
Especially see this thread

[Q] Droid Pro version?

I just got a droid pro from my cellphone carrier for free and it is a pretty nice phone, but I want to install a custom rom to get rid of bloatware and make it faster. I do not know what version(American/European) it is. How do I figure that out? Any help is appreciated.
PS: Recommend me the best roms available.

settings / about phone will give you the version. The best ROM on the PRO for is apeX 2.0 which is certified stable. I am currently running CM9 ICS which is great but no camera is available.

Ok, will check out how to flash the rom and stuff. Thanks!

Help me new member
At first, my english's poor so i'm sorry if i have bad or wrong words.
I have a Droid pro, its running on stock rom. But i feel that its so slow, i think because there are a lot of apps but they r not helpful to me.
So im here, i want to change a different room for my Droid pro ( smooth, fast, and save battery). But i didn't use Android Phone before.
So plz answer me some questions.
1/ Do i need to root my Droid pro before changing a different rom ( room coock)
so plz give me some advices how to do this. My Droid pro's running on 2.3.4 ( stock room )
2/ Can you give me some ideas about roms for my Droid pro ( fast, good, save bat)
Thanks you. And sorry for my noob ^^

I just stick to the stock rom xD
Yeah I do recognise that the stock rom is slow But the apps are not that bad. After you root the phone, with z4root or oneClick method, you can use Titanium backup to get rid of the unwanteds.
1/ AFAIK, you do. And then you need to install droid 2 bootstrap recovery. Then get into CWM recovery and flash a new rom.
2/ APEX is the fastest & most stable out there, but lacks a lot of stock rom's features. I just got my Droid pro for 2 days so I haven't known how to get those features back. But that's the idea. APEX. CM7 is better with CM's settings, and you can setup the led's blinkings But I have problem with the audio jack, so no CM7 for me. I haven't tried CM9 ICS but, like my previous nexus one, it will be a bit slow and lagginess, which are things you're wanting to get rid of.
Soooo APEX. And it's good for GSM users as well.
I find that many files provided in the forum are dead (blame it on the US Gov) but some how works. Roms are in droidforums if you know what I'm talking about. But droid 2 bootstrapper is not even available on Koush's website so here it is.
Have fun
