What is the best way and how to go back from cm9 to cm7 on my defy red lens ?
I think I still have the nandroid BU on my card. Or flash cm7 over CM9 ?
I have no idea what to do .
If you are on froyo kernel, just restore the nand.
Otherwise, first flash the froyo kernel.

I did the official upgrade from eclair so i think I'm on the froyo kernel ?
Did you flash a kernel zip? If not then yes.
You can always try and if it didn't work, flash any froyo ROM and restore the nand from there.

Hi - thanks for the interesting post.
- why did you choose to go back from cm9 to cm7 ?
On another note:
- in what cases does the kernel get upgraded? when going from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3?
- does the cm7.1 to 7.2 upgrade also change the kernel?
Thanks!
there were too many bugs in the CM9 . Now I installed the MIUI rom and this is the best I used until now ! Fast, nice and no bugs ! Everything works fine!
For the kernel until now I didn't change or upgrade any kernel .

is there any hope to return camera to work ?
What return?
There was no camera in CM9...
Just wait....It'll be soon working.
It's like drivers for Windows, except this is Android.
is known about possible date?

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.

KANG means nothing but its an Experimental Build (Nightly) .. If u have GB kernel try Epsylon3 CM7 Roms for Defy+ (GB kernel) ..
and regarding KANG if the build is named Addressing Defy or Jordan, then its for Defy.
and if its named addressing GB kernel or Defy+ then its for Defy+ !!
Thanks for the informations I know about epylons3 CM7.2 nightly builds but on his versions the camera doesn´t work 100%! It´s overhead on my defy.. so it doesn´t usable for me
...I´ve tried out the "KANG" version of CM7 and it doesn´t work on the defy+ kernel !
but the headline of kangs thread means that it was also for the defy+. Thats not true!
On my brothers Defy the ROM run very well and smooth!
..I hope i can flash this ROM very soon!
Is it possible to make a "extra" version for the defy+/defy with new kernel ??
Because i get crazy about the new kernel and the nighlty builds (epsylon3/quarx)
for defy+ works very good and fast but the camera is overhead.
I´ve tried to replace the camera.apk from another build, but it doesn´t help me to fix this problem.
i think it just mod the lockscreens,i prefer Ep3 's builds.

If it is given that it is for defy+..then i suppose u need to flash GB kernel along with the ROM [may be that ROM is having Froyo kernel]..try it.. that may work..and right now Eppy and Quarx are working on Defy CM 7.2 & CM9..once the boot loader is unlocked , i think defy+ will have a lot of scope..think they are facing some problem with GB kernel..

You can use Epsylon3 last nighty simply adding those patchs.
Ok! Thanks "elTorres" I´ll try the newest nightly and these patches and look how it work Thanks for all the fast help !
ok, i´ve tried it with the newest nightly (7.2) for defy+
and the two patches from [] AL [] (big thanks!)
-made stresstest, etc., testphotos! and wow it works perfecly!
Cyanogenmod is still a fast, beautiful rom !
I am currently trying to get full battery of my defy+ to work under MIUI. Being CM based i assumed it would work with the CM battery patch. It doesn't however. I know which files need to be replaced, would it be a good idea to just grab the files from the CM9 defy+ build and replace them?
For those that are interested doesn't work = battery only showing full with question mark icon.
Having same problem and seems there is total silence in all forums concerning this issue. If you manage to solve it please let me know !
Hey, guys I'm using MIUI Pikachu Edition by einsteinno1 and it has full DEFY+ support (battery charges up to 100%)
It's overall an awesome ROM, after trying CM7.2, latest WIUI and MS2G v3, Pikachu is the best one for me.
My DEFY+ was on 2.3.5, so I flashed it down to Froyo before flashing Pikachu
Cheers!
I have the same Defy 2.3.5 but I don't know how to install a diffrent ROM/interface ...

Well then I will definitely give Miui Pikachu edition a try As far as I understand Froyo version is the best to use to flash Miui right ?
Hi all,
About the Defy+ battery. This battery is only support by GB kernel. So nevermind the patch you applied, you'll always have a bad result. This patch works on CM 7.2 Defy + because this rom doesn't incluse the kernel and use the GB one of your phone.
So the only solution is what nisky+ said... Flash before the 2.3.6 SBF on the dev forum who allow you to flash a Froyo kernel first...

Froyo is the safest way, yes, and it will work without problems. It should work when flashed over 2.3.4, too, but I haven't tried that, myself.
@mdt24 Then how come I don't have battery problems now when Froyo's kernel is used
P.S. It's niksy, not nisky
Hi niksy ;-)
It's because I think this rom doesn't incluse kernel, so you always run a 2.3.4 GB Kernel...
quote from Miui Pikachu edition : IMPORANT!!! this Rom works only on Defy or Defy+ with Froyo Kernel or Gingerbread 2.3.4/5 Kernel. All with 2.3.6 Kernel have to downgrade to Froyo Kernel, because the new Motorola Kernel won't work with MIUI. Just use this Tutorial on XDA Developers
But I could be wrong in my deduction, so Please, can you give us the number of the kernel you have with this pikachu rom ?...
What I did before was downgrade from 2.3.6 using the sbf the dev provided that allows you to downgrade to froyo then I flashed Miui official rom and still had problems with battery. Kernel version currently is : 2.6.32.9gb08c3c8 if that makes any sense to you cause I personally just don't know anything bout kernels... I just downloaded pikachu Miui and will give a try soon and share the results with you
Hey all, thanks for the replies. I already know about the limitations of the patch and which versions the driver works with. That is why i flashed the 2.3.4 kernel before using MIUI and therefore the defy + patch. I just don't get why it doesn't work, do i need to use a defy+ kernel?
I will grab the files used in the working MIUI Defy+ rom and package them as a flashable .zip for other users.

Mate, you are right about the ROM, it doesn't include any kernel, but I said that I flashed that special version 6 Froyo (that's a full sbf) before flashing Pikachu!

The kernel you mentionned is a froyo kernel...
As you all I try to understand why it's possible that the defy+'s battery works or not with the patch. It's sure it works with a 2.3.6 GB kernel and a patch for the system (battd, lib) used by the rom if the new rom doesn't include a kernel.
It seems that if the rom include a froyo kernel the patch doesn't work...
So... may be a way to understand

Yes but I'm pretty sure than this special version has a GB kernel. It's just the bootloader who accept all kind of kernel...
Check your Kernel number, I think you must have something like this 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e...
Ok after some testing I can tell you that the battery charged to 100% only the first time I booted.Since then it has only charged till 90%. I also did calibrate the battery the first time I flashed the Rom but no results

It's 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 - the one you said it's Froyo Just checked!
And for the battery... First time it charged to 100%, this time it stuck at 90%. Quite weird... But, that is with Froyo kernel, as we've come to conclude.
But, on the other hand, my bro's got a DEFY+, too, with CM7.2 on it and with Gingerbread kernel (27th January DEFY+ nightly) and the battery goes to 100% every time. I will test Pikachu on a Gingerbread kernel, cause I can't really live with this bug :-/ Will let you know how it went, now I'm off to find a 2.3.4 sbf!
I had the same idea and have already downloaded a full 2.3.4 GB sbf to check just that !
i wish a 2.3.4 GB kernel can fix that, although I think the only kernel able to fix this is 2.3.5 and above
Hi.. I m new to android... I just want to ask how can I add music contol to notification toogle bar like that in cm mod..... I m using pikachu edition on my defy plus and its really great ... I haven't faced any problem till now.. thank u dev for such a beautiful rom...
hey buddy....i was runing on 2.3.5 than i tried a rom called [Retail British] here ; http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

then i again flash it through [Retail British] after that my device not able to power on just with white led light but i'm able to flash the device ..so can u suggest me a suitable rom for my device [Motorola defy+] ??

Thanks for ur Info.. tried to install Pikachu edition on my Defy+ 2.3.6 nd failed. But now using CM10..
[Q] hello sir,
Do own Defy+2.3.6 (ryt now using MS2Ginger 3 by walter79 ), want to use CM9/ICS, downloaded zip CM9-NIGHTLY-120112-Defy+.zip & CM9 kernel. kindly suggest proper installation procedure and info abt the ics gapps versions which one to use. i dont want to use other kernal rather than 2.3.6 can i flash CM9 on stock rom
waiting for ur humble replies ☻thanks in advance☻
God bless you All.
Why don't you want to use the Froyo kernel? I wouldn't use this nightly. You can't even phone with it! If you have BL6, flash the BL6-SBF with Froyo-kernel.
Don't use the flashlight until you flashed the CM7-kernel, you could burn it with the Chinese kernel of this SBF.
Then root the phone with the latest SuperOneClick and (after backup) follow my instructions here. Use the latest CM9-zip, ICS-Google-apps and the CM7-kernel(NOT the CM9-kernel) instead of the zips in that post. If you want to have the Motorola-Bootlogo back, also flash the attached Red_M_Logo.zip, or use my CM9-Bootlogo.zip. Flash the CM9-Music.zip if you want to use the new CM9 music app (it's very good, i can recommend it).
If you have BL7, i would wait until eppy makes a build for the Defy+ kernel.
thanks for your replies,
please let me know checking battery version ( bl5,bl6,bl7 ),my defy mfg. date is dec 2011 , details on battery HF5X, b052r984-1001, model L-L-L- DC111109.
and CM9 GB kernel is available so why not to use it, hope u clear my mind.

defy + wont be able to get update of 4.0 do not even try for this
I have a Defy+ with CM9/ICS, it works!
i think i try flashing it on my stock rom... i think eppsy build for gb builds hope no downgrading is required i guess any suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
WHAT VERSION HAVE YOU FLASHED ?
I mean which build are you using with Defy+ ?
i am using stock 2.3.6 and i tried
stock/cm 7.2 nightly.
stock/ics latest builds
works well but no network on second booted rom doesnt get any network ( no EMIE )
hope some one fix this soon or some one did let me know

Did you try using basebandswitcher? Just to search for a frequency similar to your stock baseband? I think you did because default ms2ginger baseband definitely isn't what you seem to be running on stock 2.3.6...
Oh, and btdubs I think Mister Ypsilon is right about using froyo kernel builds for CM9. Your nightly doesn't seem to be too stable.
*EDIT
Oh and veeranna don't forget, BL version (BL5/6/7) is not your battery version. It's the version of the bootloader, and it is very important when it comes to downgradeability.
search it up, I don't do a very good job of explaining bootloader stuff.
Its awesome but lil buggy
I did it! Installed Froyo SBF, rooted, 2nd init, then CM9 for Defy, CM7 kernel, slept at 5A.M :O and bingo there was a pretty stable ICS but without camera! After playing around with it for few hours.. Tested NFS Shift, Angry Birds and everything was smooth as butter except that there was no Camera due to which I restored it back using a full SBF flash and my Nandroid backup
Can be used if you don't need a camera..!
I have a Defy+ flashed with stock 2.3.6 SBF en.asia
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20097916&postcount=3
Check this it is working fine. Tested on my moto after a full fresh Defy+ 2.3.6 SBF flash.
There are more stable roms built by quarx and epsylon3 in the defy development thread. Camera works and camcorder works for some users. These devs are geniuses.

Best MIUI ROM for defy: MIUI Pikachu edition!
If you have froyo cm7 (sounds like it because you have green lense defy) you can just do the normal wipes (data, cache, dalvik) and flash. If you flash Pikachu edition, data will be wiped automaticaly

but i like cm7 the speed is incomparable...and plays 720p videos like a Ferrari lol

Sure. Make a Back-Up in CWM (Recovery). It's easy to recover your system there without re-installing apps/contacts or stuff like that. Just Go in CWM --> Backup & Restore -->Backup (all).
If u want to restore Later: same way. CWM --Y Backup and restore --> Restore (system & data).

Thanx buddy...
I was jus afraid as I read somewhere dat u can't switch back to cm after flashing miui...
Can u plz send me the link to latest version of miui??
