[Q] CM7 - From Epsylon to Quarx - Defy+ - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I'm sorry for my english.
I've flashed on my defy+(MB526) this ROM: cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip
I've installed two patches too. One for battery bug and one for camera.
What procedure should i follow for flashing the last quarx's update (cm72-20120429-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip). And how can i do for patches?

CM7 vs CM9 kernel

Hello,
I have old Defy with Bayer module. Which software is better for me? I heard that GB kernel has a bug - full CPU thortle. But when it happens ? Does CM9 have any other bugs ? And is it possible to record videos on this?
Thank you for answers !
Hi,
which Kernel is better is related to the software you are using. But you can't be wrong to use the CM7 Kerner with Quarx newest builds. If you want to use Cyanogenmod 9 I would also recommend you to stay on Froyo-Builds, it causes less problems with the camera.
Im of course considering proper kernel for proper CM7 version.
If you use CM7, I see no reason to change to a GB-Kernel-Version, cause it makes nothing better. In additional the newest nighties are made by Quarx for the Froyo-Kernel. See on ge. tt/8rDd1nC
Edit: No space between the dot and the t
But I've heard that GB kernel is much faster... This problem with max CPU use is problem of soft and will be never fixed on this kernel ?
kernel doubt
hi sorry to bother you
i flashed cm7.1.0-rc1.5-jordan-signed.zip a couple months ago, working fine.
i've been wanting to try out the new cm9 builds.
mi kernel version is [email protected]# 1 i dont know if this "froyo kernel" o "gingerbread kernel"
1_which rom sould i flash... quarx (29 jan) or epsylon3 ( 31 jan)?
2_do i need to flash another kernel previously?
3_what steps do i need to take to flash it?
4_will i be able to downgrade back to froyo 2.2.1 or at least my current cm7 ?
thanks a million

1) both roms use froyo kernel, so you can try anyone.
2) you don't have to flash any kernel, cm7 uses froyo kernel aswell
3) I've just flashed 31Jan, I was using cm7 previously. What i did:
-reboot, when the motorolla logo displays, wait for the blue led to show and then press volume down.
-then you go to recovery, latest recovery. (I highly recomend to do a backup (nandroid) before wiping data)
-wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
-install from zip file, and choose either 29jan or 31jan zipfile. (remeber 31jan has gapps included, if you go for 29jan you should install gapps too)
-wipe cache.
-go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
-reboot!
First time to boot will take some minutes.
4) If you want to get back to cm7, just recover your backup (nandroid) or follow the same steps in 3) but installing cm7 zipfile.
Hope it helps you, if any more experienced user finds an error in what i've said, please correct me.

[Q] [Updating safety] CM9 builds from different devs

Hello,
i have a question regarding updating nightlies. Sorry about yet another question about updating, but I haven't found a clear answer in related threads.
I am wondering if it is safe to update between CM9 nightlies made by Epsylon3 and Quarx. If yes, can I update it without wiping (as I do when updating from one Eppy's nightly to another), or should I perform some wipes (which ones)?
I don't think you can, but wait for more expert users that can help you
Good luck
Sent from my MIUI DSJ defy :d using xda premium
I think you can(I do it without wipe first time) but if you flash new built without wipe then you can have some bugs. Wiping is better and clear cache,dalvik cache.
I recommend multiboot to you, as you can enjoy both Quarx & Epsylon3's build on your virtual, while still base on stable ROM (CM7/Miui/ec) on your primary

I don't see why you couldn't switch between them. The "core" of the builds are similar, like CM7. For example, I'm flashing CM7 between Quarx/Eppy/maniac using the following steps:
-go to recovery
-wipe cache partition
-advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard (for the nightly)
-and optionally install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard (for Google aps)
@antukubo - Thanks for suggestion, but maybe in the future.
@deiuPP - Encouraged by your statement that the "core" of the builds are similar, I decided to try flashing without data wipe (only cache and dalvik) and it works like charm. Thanks
I do exactly as deiuPP said:

[Q]": DEFY+ BL7 Rooted .. now what for CM7.2

I have successfully rooted my DEFY+ (BL7, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-231) using this post
I got root and have the 2nd-init apk in my phone. I installed the stable for Cm version of bootloader, and tried to install CM7.2 nightly from 27th Jan (here). but after reboot, it went to a bootloop.
For now, I have reflashed the original sfbs in the first link and restored to stock.
Now, can anyone detail me the steps from installing the 2nd-init to geting the CM7.2 live on my phone please..
PS: I don't mind buying a beer or two for the help
Try flashing cm72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip by Quarx. Just root your phone again, install 2nd-init 2.0, chose LATEST and then flash the above build, without flashing kernels. Remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache before flashing CM7.2 and cache and dalvik after that.
Thanks Auris! I am already rooted now. So below are the steps I should take: ?
1. Install 2nd-init. Choose latest.
2. Reboot, it will go to 2nd-init menu.
3. Choose recovery--custom recovery
4. Wipe data, cache & dalvik cache
5. Install the Quarx Build you linked
6. Install Gapps
7. Wipe Cache & Dalvik cache
8. Reboot
9. In 2nd-init menu, choose 2nd-init boot
Is that all? Please let me know if I missed anything

Got around to doing it today and guess what? The Defy+ is so much smooth on CM7 without the bloatware..
Auris.. you have a paypal id?

Use the CM7.2 build for froyo kernel. You don't need to flash any other kernel.

Maniac's one is the most up to date and polished I think as he's the only
one that actively since works on GB.... Quarx stable is really old but still a great rom
and since you're already rooted with clockworkmod you don't need to flash a sbf..... Just full
wipe data and cache wipe then dalvik cache..... Good luck and I hope you enjoy your experience
Don't install CM7.2 if you want battery life .
I only get 8hs of battery with light use and with ms2ginger 3.0 gets 12hs of battery life with wi-fi , browsing and somes games
Try MS2ginger 3.0 + greenbread mod (ms2ginger 4.0 lags with green lens) , this rom have a gingerbread kernel (no battery drops and better battery backup) :good::good::good: or Whiterabbit 1.6 (custom cm7)

Presently running Stable 7.2 . You mean I can install Maniacs latest build by just wipe data and cache and install Maniacs zip. Do I need to reinstall Gapps and wipe Dalvik.
Thx again

You may not even need to wipe data but It's advised or at least I do it so I have not problems with my apps. If you do wipe data remember to backup first and when restoring try not to restore data of system apps that's where most issues arise from. If you don't wipe data then cache and davlik wipe install the rom then i would cache and davlik wipe again for safe measure and reboot and enjoy. Yes you will need to reflash gapps if you data wiped. You have a green lens defy right??? You only need a kernel if you have a red lense defy. Good luck.

[Q] [noob] please a step-by-step walkthrough From 'CM7' to '2ndboot CM10'

Hello everybody, as stated i title, i need a noob-mode step by step guide to install the new superb innatural quarx's '2ndboot-CM10' in my green lense 525 with the latest CM7 nighly in it.
I know most of us are using the phone for everyday use, so most likely is using the "stable" CM7 as well.
I read that cm10 is almost good for everyday use by now, and it's time to upgrade.
Somebody could do me this favour, I promise to thank...
just reboot into recovery and wipe data and chache, if u want wipe battery stats also and it's done. simply install it like all custom roms.
0. Go to recovery
1. Make a Nandroid backup (recommended)
2. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
3. Install non-2ndboot CM10 (MB525 for Defy or MB526 for Defy+ or red lense Defy with Gingerbread kernel)
4. Reboot to stable recovery
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Install latest 2ndboot CM10 build (one build for MB525 and MB526)
7. Install Gapps
8. Wipe cache and dalvik
9. Reboot

hi nasty and thanks for the complete answer.
I read somewhere that the 'old' non 2ndboot cm10 doesn't contains the kernel, it is true or not?
If yes do i need to flash actually only the kernel or the complete 'old' rom?
tks

Why those steps ? They are not necessary !
As already mentioned the steps above me are not necessary and for your question
The kernel is included in the Rom simply choose the latest nightly, BUT sometimes Quarx makes some Kernel Updates for a specific nightly then this is only a Kernel Update but atm there are no Kernel Updates so its not necessary

Only 2ndboot ROMs contain custom kernel. You can install 2ndboot CM10 directly, but it is safer to install from CM10 Stable Recovery.
