[Q] Defy begginer: CM7 or MIUI? And 720p addons for them...

Hi! Yesterday i got my Defy and I installed 2.2 update with Motorola Software Updater and I wanted to install a custom rom like MIUI or CM7 but i dont know whats better . So u can tell me please whats better from them? I heard that CM7 has some wifi errors but they can be fixed...
P.S : i have Red Lens and i want to put and 720p mod after...

try cm7 if you want more customized rom
MIUI if you want more display features
for 720: you can search google and the market for camcoder apps that supports 720p
I tried cm7 and it is wonderful

Well i heard that MIUI has better performance rather than CM7 in Quadrant...

Cm7 does not support 720p rec.

Quadrant isnt everything, MIUI have the looks, and maybe less bugs, but even CM7 is very very smooth and fast, am using RC1.5, i have not experienced any of the bugs (wifi/gps/battery), easily customizable as opposed to MIUI.

I've had miui before, but it seemed to be a bit laggy, comparing to my ipod touch's menu. The apple smoothness is just great and I thought I can't get that smoothness on my defy. Then I installed cm7 on my defy and, magically, it runs veery smoothly without any lags. thought Miui was good. Yes, it was, but cm7 is just great!
and screw quadrant, unless you want to be happy with higher numbers

WiFi depends upon your router. CM7 rocks. Green lens defy ZERO issues with cm7

MIUI looks great.
CM7 works really fast.

I've been trying the different roms I've found here and so far the best for me is Waj's MIUI version. Maybe because I'm a newb, but CM7 started looping on FC after I tried to enable 3G only in my Defy.
And the MIUI versions just didn't do it. The only thing I need now is to add a 720p addon for the video.

Can we record 720p from a green lens ??

CM7 is a wonderful ROM
LOVE IT！！！

Some of us do have issues with wifi in CM7. I installed RC 1.5 + nightly and started having issues with the same routers that used to work perfectly in 2.2.
But I would not recommend CM7 any less because of that. Install and see if it affects you, as this seem to be a issue with only a small percentage of us.

Is this a fact? I was blown away by CM7 performance over stock 2.2, but I'm having some wifi issues with CM7. Is MIUI performance also so much better than stock?

Green lens does not support 720p. Only the red lens.
MIUI does have a better performance over stock but they are based off CM7 with added visual enhancements. There are alot of app incompatibilities and constant fc's. I have used MIUI but got annoyed with all the errors. Wifi is fine and they update every Friday but just too many problems for me. I am using CM7 now and I love it. No wifi issues but I haven't tried any nightly's yet either.

i own a green lensed Defy and i've flashed the MS2Ginger with Blur.
Gotta say i loved the interface (bright and bluish) and the text cursor is very usefull (seem like the "rule" in MS Word) and it has nice effects when showing Views and that animation when the screen rotate, just like iOS does.
but i it has a lot of FC, it's pretty laggy sometimes (the maximum free mem i got once was like ~100MB) an its 3D performace is poor.
i'll reflash again and i'll try a CM7. I was considering that JBoogie 3 that is based on CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158238&page=3)
What would you suggest? The thing is that it lacks theme support...
About that, does anyone know where i can find CM7 themes? Is there an overhead for using them? Is there a way to install "animations" (such this screen-rotating one)?
Thanks
(btw: what's the best Caller/Phonebook that syncs pics with FB? is a "caller" interface able to change the, ahm, "answerer" interface?
what about gps with loaded map info?)

Jboogie 3 is good and has a Ginger release but has an issue with no social network syncing. If you are going to go with something based on CM7 go with CM7. It has the theme support with the new Theme Choser and in the market there is a Theme Chowder Themes which has a large list of usable themes. As for the animations, I'm not sure about that.
Facebook app automatically syncs your pics but if you want a new contact book and dialer I would sugjest Phoneface. GPS, definitely CoPilot 8 live. All maps are preloaded so no data needed and completely removes the need for another GPS unit.

actually i have just flash the jboogie3 and, since it's clear, i'll give CM7-pure a try.
but i gotta say it's really fast!

Good rom for moto defy

Hello,
I've installed CM7, then CM9, but they all have various bugs that vary annoys me. like the camera freeze bug in CM7, and some custom ring tones and sometimes cant answer call with CM9.
Can someone give me a rom with the least bug? I don't care about design, just min bug or non at all.
Thanks.

CM7.1 is a stable ROM, you can try also CM7.2, and now CM10 is under development, each one has a Froyo or GB Kernel,
CM7.1(Froyo Kernel) ->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654 (11/11/11build)
CM7.2(Froyo Kernel) ->
http://www.defy-cm.net/defy-cm7-nightly/ (12/31/12 build is the most stable in my opinion... needs some camera fix only for red lens)
CM10(Froyo kernel) ->
http://acrane.eu/defy/defy-cm10-nightly-quarx/
Any question just ask, good hacking!

For minimum bugs use wiui GB build,
And for best battery use jboogy's liquidginger(old ROM with 2.3.4 gingerbread base)

Wiui gb rom is stable. Using it since a month now.
S3nt fr0m my D3fy/w1u1 GB st4BL3

Thank you for your time.
Whats the differences between the froyo kernel and the GB kernel? and the nightly vs jorden and such..
How to check if I have a red lens? by looking at it yes I have red but I don't sure..
And a small correction, by stable I mean stable(won't crash) and with the least amount of bugs possible, good battery life is pretty important too. design and looks doesn't matter for me.
Thank you all again!

The Froyo Kernel can work with Green and Red lens Defy(SOC or BAYER module, respectively), and the GB Kernel only with Red Lens Defy,, that's because teh GB comes with Defy+ builds and the Defy+ has only Red lens, and can support 720p recording
To know which lens you have, just download the app CatLog, intall it, open the camera, close the camera, open CatLog, and find JordanCameraWrapper(The lib which check the device type you have), if in the log says BAYER you have Red lens, if says SOC you have Green lens(Is the general procedure, sometimes you can have Green lens with BAYER Module, just watch the camera under the light and check the color!),
So which ROM you should install?? First check the lens, if you have green is better to use a froyo kernel based, if you have red lens, depends of the features of the ROM and if you are interested in the 720p recording and panorama.
I go for CM7.2, is really really great, WIUI is very good too, just flash and make your own opinion!
Good luck!

At last I understood the differences and what should I flash. Thank you so much again!
If no one else have something to add, you can lock.

ICS on Defy question please

Hi !
If I buy a Defy and install a ICS custom rom , would the camera be like in the official ICS or would it be like other ICS based roms like lets say in Samsung Galaxy which usually always show errors and camera very bad with almost no options or in fact very limited.
Please advice me if the ICS in Defy is worth it.
Thanks !

ICS for Defy is CM9 which is based on AOSP. The camera is like pure ics, ans not like touchwiz one.

You can use one of the various 3rd-party camera apps like "hdr camera" if you are interested in various effects and so on. The driver for the camera itself works pretty well in CM9/CM10, no visible difference to CM7 in image quality.

Low incall volume stock 2.2.2

Hello,im back on stock 2.2.2 android,by far most stable and usable rom with longest battery life. I was wondrering if there is a way to increase incall volume,sometimes people hear my voice very quiet on the other side.
I miss the camera quality from .35 roms,is there a way to improve 2.2.2 camera? Maybe theres .32 kernel with good libs to flash? Thks in advance for any suggestions and help.

Did you try ezet's CM7? I think it has all you need.
If not there isn't much tweak on 2.2 you have to live with them.

[Q] Stable ROM for MOTOROLA DEFY

Can anyone let me know the best and stable Custom rom for my MOTOROLA DEFY with green lens? I have used several roms but had issues with mobile data, camera (worst quality), processing speed (disgusting) and UI response (phone gets stuck). Kindly suggest me the best rom to overcome these problems. Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, the most stable is CyanogenMod7.

Although my Defy is the Red Lens, I used CM7 for one year with no problems at all.
Now I'm using 11/05 CM10 Quarkx ROM and it's working great. No problems with mobile data, camera, processing and UI response until now.

Wiui and mokee newbeginning are the most stable, fast and battery keeper roms.
