Hello,
Using CM7.1 jordan stable on my MB525 Red Lens. Everything is working perfectly, but i have some pretty nasty battery uptimes. I charged the phone to 100% last night, the moment i unplug it i already have 99%, and after 8 hours spent with the phone unplugged while i was sleeping overnight, it went down to 46%. Any ideas as to why this happens and what i can do to tame it?
Thanks.
This is nasty.did you calibrated the battery after you installed cm7?
I too have red lens and running 1403 quarx defy + build with Walter 4.5.3-109 kernel which gives best battery life. The same kernel is used in ms2 ginger 3.0 which is known to have best battery.

Running kernel 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8, EPU93 baseband. I have not calibrated, but after reading around on the forums it looks like it's not much use. Or is it? I installed the calibrator, i will let the phone power down completely and then will charge up to 100% and recalibrate. Any other advice that might be useful?
Thanks.
Since your defy is red lens I would suggest you to flash defy + builds. You can use latest quarx 0316 cm72 defy + build and flash walter79 4.5.3.109 kennel.that would give awesome battery life and at the same time you are on beauty of cm7.
For quarx builds, get it from http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/
For kernel just see the ms2 ginger thread, there you would find 4.5.3.109 and zip file which can be flashed by cwm.
Btw, earlier releases had problem in booting with that kernel which quarx fixed on 0316. If you flash earlier cm72 releases, then flash 4.5.2.109dht22 kernel, which you can find in the same ms2ginger thread.

Can i flash the Kernel you suggested on my current CM7 without flashing CM7.2 for Defy+? If i can, what will the effects be? Will it mean any changes in my settings, applications or any other thing, or will it just improve certain computing aspects?

No don't flash that kernel which leads to boot loop on cm7 stable which uses froyo kernel. I assume you have froyo kernel now correct.
Kernel won't change any computing aspects nor will change any settings, you don't find any noticeable difference as far as the system goes.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Correct. 2.2.2 CEE as base. Any other kernel you might recommend for this base and CM7.1 stable? Or any other battery calibration suggestions, way to make it last longer?
Well on froyo I don't have one to recommend. GB builds give better battery life and we have alternatives.
I was with cm7 fire quite some time but didn't like battery life. Then I moved to ms2ginger, battery life was awesome but then it's stock, missing cm7.
Now finally I have mix of cm72 with ms2ginger kernel, loving it.
If you have nandroid backup of original stock froyo and gives better battery life then try restoring it's 'boot' through cwm recovery, please nandroid backup the existing 'boot' before you do this, just in case if you stuck in boot loop, you can restore it back.

I was using the MS2Ginger 3.0 based rom by walter79 and I got wifi issues with my office wifi not working.. I then flashed to cm7.1 and though battery life is not that good, wifi works smoothly...
I will try the cm7.2 with ms2ginger and see if I get wifi issues with that as well.

I own a Defy+ with Android 2.3.4 (4.5.1-134_DFP-89) branded by Vodafone-Italy.
I would like to run a CM7 ROM without flashing kernel as I read that flashing kernel 2.3.6 is a one way operation and no downgrade is possible.
I read in other thread that this WhiteRabbit ROM which is flashable but uses GO Launcher that I do not like.
Are there other CM7 ROMs working with Defy+ and with less customization (CM7 "pure" would be great but I think epsilon3 ROMs are 2.3.6 kernel only)?
Thanks and sorry for being noob

p.s. a lot of different roms can be tried without having to upgrade SBF and blow those damned efuses.. do some reading around here on fixed SBFs and nandroid backups and you will understand more
Thanks for suggestions. I already have CWR and Snd Init. I will try CM in the weekend.
EDIT: writing from CM72, I could not resist. At a quick look... it is another phone
Some occasional app crash, but works great.

A little update and a big thanks.
Everything works fine here on CM 7.2.
The difference in fastness of CM is impressive, camera works and battery charges to 100%. It seems CM consumes a bit more battery but it worthes it.
The only feature which is significantly worse than the original are the vocal commands which does not understand italian at all, but the applications itself is ok.
I will investigate on that.
Does anybody know if CM 7.2 (whenever it will be out) will OFFICIALLY support Defy+?
I could not find anything neither here nor on CM forums.
Stock - Cyanogenmod 7.2
yes from what i understand the CM7.2 Nigtlies will become official when once they are stable Epsylon/Quarx (and maniac103 ?) are working as part of official CM team..
hi guys!
i have a annoying issue with this nightly version(cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). my wifi shot dawn after ~20 min, when im not using my phone (i dont switch on the screen) its a bug or thers a setting for solve that problem?
thanks!

It works fine if I start from 2.3.6? I've got me too the MB526 form Vodafone (si sono italiano pure io ).
What do you think about this room after 2 days? Yes, it's not a long time...but...i cloud not resist me too!!!!!!!
I don't know coming from 2.3.6, but coming from 2.3.4 I was really impressed.
PROs:
- phone is much more responsive
- switching wifi and silent mode on/off very fast and no need to confirm which wlan each time
- I got rid of Motoblur (common inbox is awful)
- audio volume increased
VSs:
- some occasional app crash
- camera works but the impression is a little less quality
- original vocal commands worked much better
From what I understood 2.3.6 should be ok as you don't flash kernel, but backup backup and backup again!
@lord: if the phone is idle why you need wifi? I would not notice that, but I will take a look.

Hi your posts were very helpfull to me, cause you have the same phone and build as I do. However, installing a CM7.2 on my Defy+ is still unsuccesfull.. As you said, I did not install a different SBF, but root my phone, install 2ndinit an made a nandroid backup (which I am now restoring after a failed ROM load )
I follow the steps in the topic you gave, but the problem is that my 2ndinit (CMW) says: "E:/Can't open /tmp/recovery.log" when I load the zip file from my SD card (after wiping cache and data). Pretty annoying. I tried now with "cm72.120127.0846-Nightly-Defy+" and a non Defy+ and more recent one: "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip"
Have been googling the error message, but most people say it happens when the wrong CM is used (not for Defy+) but I am doing that right..
Which version of CWM did you install?
After you install 2nd init for defy and open the app there are two options:
Stable recovery
Latest recovery.
I think you installed the stable recovery. If yes, now try installing the Latest recovery and install CM7. If no may be we will have to figure out something else!
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu
I have white rabbit 1.3 right now and it came with a bunch of cool customizing installation options though aroma, including ICS style which runs ADW instead of GO, much cleaner/faster, also my battery life is awesome. or you could download CM7 Barebones Jordan and build your own. I'm pretty sure I found both ROMs somewhere in these pages.

what's the differences between cm7 for defy and defyplus?
Can defyplus used the defy-cm7?
that not the same battery and the kernel is adapted for that
Defy builds uses froyo kernel whereas defy + builds uses gingerbread kernel. to install defy versions on defy +, you need to install bl6 group and flash, however battery may not charge tohundred percent. The defy + builds can be used by defy red lens and regular defy +. Green lens defy will have problems with camera if we flash defy + bulls, green bread mod may work on few roms.
I'm having defy red lens and using cm72 defy + builds with Walter 4.5.3-109 kernel which gives best battery life.

I flashed the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132 O2.en.DE with CM7 and cannt boot up with the Walter 4.5.3-109 kernel (and any other kernel ).
I can only used the 4.5.1-134_DFP-132 kernel .
sorry for my poor english!
If you have *redlens* defy you can flash Quarx CM72 builds with walter kernel. The 4.5.3-109 kernel gives good battery life which you can use with 0316 builds. FOr ealier releases this kernel will give bootloop (this issue Quarx fixed from 0316 onwards) so you flash 4.5.2.109-dht_22 kernel.
The build can get from http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/ you can install CM9 kernel for it boot. Later you can change the kernel for better battery life.
The walter kernels are attached down - which you can flash via CWM.

By the way which build is better between Quarx and Epsylon3 's.
Iam using Quarx 's 0314 now,it's great work.
And I was told that Epsylon will release the cm7 RC1 this week end.

I have installed CM9 kernel, and I can boot latest defy+ quarx rom (30-30)no problem, but once I install 4.5.3 kernel, I am stuck at the big red M.
Also, when I boot CM9 signed kernel, returns 2.6.32.9...isn't this Froyo? Shouldn't be Gingerbread? I must be doing something obviously wrong, but I cannot find anything in the forums....
Which one is it cm9 build or cm72 build? I guess cm9 binaries not updated, anyway Try installing dht22 kernel, cm9 is GB kennel only don't get confused by looking at 2.6...

hi guys, I would like to ask experienced users what is the difference between the kernels we used on our Defy(s)
Froyo Kernel vs Gingerbread kernel vs Walter79's Kernel
I first encountered this kernel upon viewing the CM9 update thread
I have a red lense defy and the very first rom I flashed was the official CM7.1 so I am aware I do have a Froyo Kernel running on this bad boy.
what is the difference/ advantages?
which is better?
is it safe to flash one over the other?
is it easy to flash? like how we flash roms? we can always go back to to Froyo kernel from the gingerbread or walter kernel and vice versa?
I think a lot of noobs would appreciate your answers.
I will edit this post and add your answers so that others may find it useful as well

i have a motorola defy green lens currently running cm9 4.0.4 (camera's not working but i don't care much for the camera ) . ok here's my problem i'm trying to flash a different kernel on my defy.. the current kernel im running is 2.6.32.9 cdt 2011 but i need better performance and i tried to flash semaphore kernel. the flash was successful but i see no changes and also in the settings>about phone the kernel version hasnt changed. i need help so that i can flash new kernel properly.. thanks
Hi!
I realize this is a very old thread, but it seems to be one of the few addressing the (dis)advantages of the froyo vs the GB kernel (independently of the ROM!).
The 720p-recording is really not important to me, but battery life is and I just read here that it would be better on GB kernel.
Do any of you have further experience with regards to battery-life difference between Froyo and GB kernels (not ROMs)!? Is it a big difference (to what extent or through which features?)
I have a MB525 with red lens and Froyo kernel, so I could go for a GB-kernel.
I've recently rooted my smartphone and flashed WIUI (3.1.27, GB&MIUI-based) on it, because (1) my phone was slowing down, (2) I wanted not to have any bloatware anymore and (3) I wanted some apps that only run on Gingerbread/2.3+ (e.g. the offline-language-package-feature from Google Translate). Almost everything is now better.
BUT, my battery life got worse! I've now down-volted my smartphone to a stable point and set it to 'smartassv2', but am looking for further improvement for the battery life. As WIUI can be installed both on froyo and GB-kernel, I might also update the Kernel...but only want to take the plunge if it really would make a difference...
any advice or experience is welcome!

Did this work?
And if so could I please ask your opinion? I also have a red lens defy. I am on Epsylon3's froyo kernel and using Quarx's CM10. I want to go back to CM7.2 and want to use Quarx's nightly that has 720p recording. Do I need to flash a GB kernel and use the defy+ build for 720p to work, or can I stay on the froyo kernel and use the defy build? The reason I want to stay on froyo kernel is that I don't want the battery issues.
I tried a CM7 Defy+ build on my Defy Red Lens, used a battery fix I got from the ParanoidAndroid dev forum and it kinda worked. I say kinda cuz when I try to reboot it actually powers off and cannot get on til a battery pull, but everything else is OK

Battery fix
This is battery fix for Defy+ (MB526)
Install via "flash .zip" in the recovery them restart your phone
If it don't work, it's that the kernel had changed so, re-install attached kernel also by "flash .zip" in recovery system, restart your phone and you will see the battery's percentage.

THIS THREAD WILL NOT LEAD YOU TO ANY UPDATE OF ANY ROMs....
Hi everyone!...
I wanted to ask which ROM should I install...I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL THREAD ABOUT "STABLE ROM"
but the thing is that they are very old and at present m on CM10 the 26.05.2013 built....also tried CM10.1 of 7.06.2013 built the thing is that CM10.1 is very sluggish (what I felt)...n came back to cm10 26.05...but yesterday when I was using Google Maps it shutdown and when m trying it to boot I'm stuck on the CM logo...
the question is
"DO I GO WITH CM7.2 AS CM9 IS DISCONTINUED TO DEVELOP...AND CM10/10.1 IS NOT THAT STABLE...I CAN NOT AFFORD TO WIPE MY CELL FOR UPDATE/CRASHES SO I NEED A STABLE ROM ON WHICH I CAN STAY, ALSO NEED A GOOD BATTERY PERFORMANCE"...
MY USAGE:
* I USE MY CELL FOR INTERNET SURFING,
* WATCHING YOUTUBE,
* PLAYING GAMES (VERY LESS AND VERY SMALL GAMES NOT LIKE TEMPLE RUN/SUBWAY SURFERS),
* MAPS,
* TWITTER...THATS IT...SO PLZ UPDATE MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ROMs..
Don't worry.. CM10 is stable enough for all that, just don't get 10.1..
CM10 is very good, go for it

Cm7 is an easy way to go.....just get it from cynogen mod's official website....get.Cm or getcm.org....further get the gapps for it...and got recovery....and just flash it

After downloading put those files in memory card....then go to recovery....and wipe cach/data/dalvik-cach/battery stats....and after doing all this flash the files....after flashing againg wipe the same things...n reboot thats it....no battery drops....no bugs....enjoy pure performance

CM10/CM10.1 are both extremely stable. To the point where CM10.1 is my main ROM; however the battery life is very bad, I get about 6h with 3G always on, but with 2G only you'd easily get a day

Well Cm10.1 is stable for me. If you only use 2G then it won't be much of a problem since your battery wont drain too fast
