[Q]ICS ROM clarification

Hi Now am using 2.3.7 version and kernal 2.6.32.9-gb in my defy,
Am planing to install ICS 4.0.3.What kernal should download?
Becoz i already tried Mar 3 build but its stucked many times and getting restarted again so pls tel the correct methods and kernal.GApps.
Can any one help me?

If you have gingerbread kernel you need to install a Defy+ build. If you have a normal defy, I think you need to install batery fix as well. I'll try to find it. Defy+ builds work well with red lense defys, but I don't think camera works for green lense users.

Thanks...so shall I install defy + build...and kernal link available separately....what is the use of those kernal...how. and wat should be install

You already have a kernel. Or else you wouldn't be able to use the phone. You've already told me that you have a gingerbread kernel. So don't bother flashing a new one.
Gapps is on first page for main CM9 thread. Battery fix is somewhere in the thread :-/ Look around page 300

CM9 Kernel gives bootloader error. It's for froyo kernel users only (as far as i've understood)
DON'T flash it! It will soft brick your phone!

I hope all doubts over
CM9 builds,gapps & battery fix is enough to my phone to run ICS.
Have to flash above three things?
Am i right?

Yup, that should be it.

If you mean anything else to install, then no. Does charging work?

That is true. I have a Defy+ and I installed the CM9 kernel. It soft bricked my phone and I had to do a SBF flash, root CWM recovery and all things all over!! Flash the CM9 built for Defy+ by Quarx. It does restarts and freezes ocassionally but is okay otherwise for a beta version!!

Yes it is possible.
1. Install mS2ginger 4.0 beta4 via nandroid as described in this post
2. Dual boot from this guide. Make sure to use the latest multiboot. I used 0.5.4. I also used the updated bootmenu(1.1.8) and CWM (5.0.5)

How to over clock defy plus ?

I have rooted my defy plus and installed custom ROM jellybean but can't over clock with any app milestone app works with the old defy but not with defy + can any one help me . Thanks in advance
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

If you boot the phone, you'll get a blue light (I think) then you need to push vol- (again I think) to get in too the bootmenu (from where you also go to the custom recovery to flash a rom). In the bootmenu you should have options to change the frequencies and Vsel's.
In my opinion the default setting off the latest CM10 rom from Quarx are good. If you go any higher, your phone will get very hot. On 1000Hz it's already hot (espesialy if you're also a heavy Data user).
Of course you are free to experiment with it.

YOU SHOULD CLOCK IT TO SOMETHING BETWEEN 1.1 GHZ - 1.3 GHZ ANYTHING ABOVE THIS COULD MAKE YOUR DEFY UNSTABLE AND CONSUME A LOT OF BATTERY , I PREFER IT TO KEEP AT 1.1 GHZ

Defy (red lense) kernel?

I installed Epsylon3's "[ICS] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 for the Defy - now with 2ndboot kernels" and i was wondering what kernel should i install:
kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip or kernel-gb-234-451-134-signed.zip?
And another problem: after installing the ICS my battery drains very quickly. What shall i do? Install the "ICS Defy Red Lense Battery fix"?

Try the battery fix. The 2nd boot kernel will be fine otherwise I'd use the gingerbread or defy green froyo kernel.

i will try the fix. what kernel do you have? i'd like to install the GB version, but i don't want to have problems. i read a lot on the forum and i understood that the GB is compatible with my Defy (red lens), but what are the advantages? will it work better?

I'm using GB kernel from fixed sbf and using CM7 (maniac) and it seems a little smoother than froyo kernel. *green soc defy*
Defy red lense is basically a defy+ with a 800MHz clock speed and a smaller battery. The RL defy can use the camera on stock gb builds.

A same question. my defy plus is already rooted. But somehow the overclock isn't supported by the stock kernel. I'm using Set CPU apk. :laugh:

I think about the combination between walter's kernel and stock rom. But there's no such combination. Isn't it? Just want a rom: fast, stable, and full motorola blur. Is it a dream? haha :angel:

MS2Ginger is that dream. Even has 720p video recording (for red lens camera only).
