It appears the camera and camcorder is close to being functional on froyo kernel versions of cm9 for standard defy?
Is there still work being done to get the defy to work with fb kernel as well? Or is that only for defy+?
Lastly, if I run a froyo cm9 what features will I be missing out on compared to fb kernel.
Thanks,
And thanks for all the great work of cm team

Is there a chance to get an official Gingerbread update for Defy? or at least, could you tell me what's the best ROM based on Gingerbread I could use? there's a lot of them, and I don't know which one is the best :/ thanks!
No, the defy is not a Motorola mainstream phone,no more updates, i recommend cm7, is a froyo kernel gingerbread rom
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
There is no offical Gingerbread ROM for Defy and there will never be one. Period.
But who needs a bloated stock ROM when CM works flawlessly.
Download the CM7.
Or use one of Walter's port of Defy+ Gingerbread ROMS.
Either works perfectly fine.
PS: Both have the exact same hardware except for the battery (and camera in case of green lens). So, you can just use the official ROM and just replace the battery/camera files.
Thanks for the advices, It's a shame, I've been with official releases but I guess it's time to change, I will try CM7, thanks!

Good luck!

What about ICS? Any official ports?
Gingerbread is coming with defy+ but there is no news that defy will get official ics

Hey
I am using my Motorola defy with Android 2.2.
But now i want to install a smooth and fast custom rom, because my defy is getting slow and particularly boring.
Which rom would you recommend ?
I think you developed Android 2.3 or even 4.0.
I am searching for something which works in all, so i mean ,, no bugs''!
So give me a prposal
Hi! I've been using CM7.2 RC1 since the release and I found no problems with it at all. It's smooth, battery life is great, performance also. I wouldn't recommend you CM9 builds for daily use since they are still buggy. Either CM7.1 or CM7.2 RC1 is good option.
+1 on CM7.2RC1 for best performance/options/less bugs
Also take a look at MIUI roms if you like the style...
I believe MS2Ginger from Walter is best rom till date. It has gingerbread and works for Green lense defy too.
What else you want?
I use CM9 nightly. No problems at all. Search for Epsylon's build ( froyo kernel). Battery life excelent, phone is superfast!

Using CM9 Nightly as well and have only small bugs/issues (e.g. video rec doesn't work yet and I get a bad preview on highest zoom stage with camera).
No Problems with CM7 at all.
Hey everyone,
I have been searching all over the web for the best kernel but am yet to find one, so i am after your opinions. What do you believe is the best froyo kernel for Wiui v4 (ICS) that has great performance.
Thanks in advance
There is only on Froyo kernal and other is Gingerbread kernal. Almost all ROM threads have froyo kernal links available. Download and flash.

Sorry if this sounds like a noob question. Is there a CM7 or 9 ROM which is based on gingerbread kernel (e.g. 4.5.3-109_DPP-11)? The reason I ask is that I really like CM7 functionality, but have heard that gb kernel based roms (like ms2ginger) have awesome battery life. If there is such a ROM, does it have battery life comparable to ms2ginger?
Cm7.2 or cm9 defy+ builds work on gingerbread kernel. You can use 4.5.2.109 dht 22 kernel, which ms2ginger uses, and with it either cm72 or cm9 gives similar battery life. You can find the kernel link in Walters ms2ginger thread, if any difficulty tell me I can upload for u.
For quarx builds goto HTTP://quarx2k.ru
For eppy builds goto HTTP://defy.wdscript.fr

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out which one to use between Quarx and Epsilon..
I couldn't find the thread or topic for Quarx/Eppy's gb bases CM7.2. Does someone have the link?
is there a patch for recording 720p videos for cm9 quarx builds defy+ ??? please help!!
Why use cm9 when we have cm10? As far as I remember Quarx added the feature to cm10, but there were reports of lagginess. Search Quarx's cm10 thread in dev section for it.
Edit: 09.24 changelog: added 720p (not default, unstable)

CM10 is by far more stable than CM9, you should try the latest ROM.
