Can I install CM7 from CM9? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday, I installed CM9-NIGHTLY-120406 in my Defy classic, I had chinese rom froyo. Now I'm having lots of issues with CM9 (blocks, usb not working, etc.)and I was wondering if I can install CM7 now.

Yes usually you can, do full wipe, wipe dalvik Cache and install cm7 ;-)

Urgent help with rom!!

Hey guys, im running virtuous fusion 1.1.8 on my mytouch 4G & all i wanna know is what kernel is the best for this rom? i tried faux's instructions, wipe cache & dalvik, then install first kernel, wipe cache & dalvik again, installed stock voltage kernel & they were both freezing up, so which kernel is good for this rom?
I use unity v4 and i must say it's smooth

I suggest flashing virtuous unity, then unity v4 kernel.

OP, Virtuous Fusion is outdated and no longer supported. Switch to Virtuous Unity, which is also Gingerbread/Sense 3.0, but much faster and is updated bi-weekly.

[Q]How to install CM7.2 on Defy

I'm currently on the latest CM7.1 nightly but when I tried to flash the cm7.2 nightlies which are for the defy+, I got stuck at the M logo. I then flashed my old 7.1 and now it's working again. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Also, I didn't erase data, just cache.
I think that's because defy+ uses another kernel , so when you flash cm7.2 you still having froyo kernel , i think if you flash the cm9 kernel over cm7.2 it will work! But i 'm not sure
Motorola Defy CM7.1-11 OC 1GHz
Can you link me to both cm7 and cm9 kernels?

I packed the two different kernels into clockwork flashable packages.
1. Flash either a nightly or restore a nandroid.
2. Flash either CM7_Kernel-signed.zip or CM9_Kernel-signed.zip; depending on what you've installed.
3. Reboot.
CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
CM9_Kernel-signed.zip

I tried those .Zips and they didnt work for me.
What I ended doing is restoring Boot/devtree using CWM from a Walter 2.3.6 rom and it worked
Let me get this right, first I need to flash CM7.2 and then I need to restore boot and devtree?
EDIT: Thanks leonardojegigzem. It worked!

CM72 for DEFY+ didn't get camera working for now.
Any idea when it'll be fixed or if it'll ever be fixed?
Why don't you try the CM7.2 Nightlys for Defy and not for the +?

Yeah i just noticed no camera, went to take an amazing pic and it did not work
Sucks, because this ROM is really good.

I guess because the ones for Defy+ are more recent. Newer = better.

The camera works with the cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ nightly - of course red-lense only. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20267108&postcount=14484 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580

You should try CM7.2 rom for the device you possess i.e. Defy. :good:
Just install cm7.2 for defy (not +). If you want to flash the defy+ version, you will have to install gb kernel and battery fix.

you could try clearing dalvic cache and cache...
have you restored any "system" files? that could also cause some problems. if you don't get it running again, i would flash again. Then try to only restore user apps. I think then you will be all right.
thank you
it works now

Quarx has been building ROMs for the Froyo based kernel defys .. you can try the ICS builds of epsylon3 which has been developed for GB kernal based defys. If u have rooted ur mobile then u can try epsylon3 builds instantly or if u want to use Quarx builds then u need to flash Froyo kernal after flashing the ROM...
How can i flash a new kernel. Is there a .zip file for download?
There are two versions of cm9,one with froyo(uses cm7 kernel) and the other with ginger bread(uses cm9kernel).
You can see these threads for the same. The kernel zips are also there to download.

[Q] Some quick questions thanks

1. My defy has stock froyo and I flashed it to cm7. Now I'd like to try cm9 or cm10, do I need to flash sbf or sth?
2. I saw in cm10's thread in which it gives gapps. If I flash cm9, can I use the gapps it provided in the cm10 thread?
3. My current cm7 is quite buggy and slow, cm9 and cm10 should be better?
Thanks.

Just wipe your data, cache and dalvik cache.
Install the CM10 ROM, then flash the updates.
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
You are done! No need to do anything else. You are safe.
And Quarx CM10 is awesome!
You can use it daily.. and with the battery fix.. it will be too good.
Thank if I was helpful.
