I have rooted my phone using Superoneclick. I have installed ROM Manager from app store. But now i am stuck.I am reading posts but i am getting confused as to what to do.
The following are the defy details
Cam -Bayer

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4
BuildNumber JOREM_U3.4.2_177-3
Can anybody please help me simple steps as to how to install android 4
Follow a guide on how to instal CM7 but replace the zip file with the one from a CM9 build (for the defy, not the defy+)

TO CLEAR YOUR CONFUSIONS ABOUT GB KERNEL ICS AND FROYO KERNEL ICS
I have seen lot of confused user out there asking about which kernel to flash and stuff... So here u go read below...
So our beloved Awsome Developers make two types of nightlies
1-For DefyPlus(Can Also be used on Defy(RedLens))
These are the GB/CM9 kernel builds
These are found under /cm9-nightly-defy+/ folder of the servers which we have
To install these you need to follow the TuT to install ICS Defy Plus Above...
Green Lens Camera Wont work on these(Correct me if I and wrong)
2-For Regular Defy(Do not work on Defy plus)
These are Froyo/CM7 kernel Builds
These are found under /CM9-Nightly-Defy/ folder of the servers which we have.
To install these follow the TuT to install CM9 ICS FOR Defy stated above
3-Well there is no 3rd build(There is The MileStone2 Port by Walter79,But now that we have camera on our builds that one is not usefull...)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically, as labsin said, you can follow the same steps of CM7 flashing guide, but changing the build with an CM9 one and adding the correct kernel. In your case, you can choose which kernel to use, because Bayer Defy is compatible with both Froyo and Gingerbread kernels.

[Q] Help Installing MIUI based Elite ROM v9.6 Multilanguage
Hello, First I'm new here and the rule of posting 10 times before being able to post in development section is not to fair I must say. Well, I would like to try the MIUI based Elite ROM v9.6 Multilanguage 2012-02-01. I know that I have its recommended to downgrade to a 2.2 version such as U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04(Normal). We should repeat this downgrad process at least 3 times. And then what we need to do more? Should we root it and then install a CWM or I can just install the CWM and boot directly in recovery to install the MIUI based Elite? Also, which CWM should be used? Thank you
I dont think it really requires the stock to be installed 3 times, but if you have time, just do it. After it install CWM and flash the rom. no need to root. cwm version 5.0.2.6 works.
