[Q] what's the differences between cm7_defy and defyplus

what's the differences between cm7 for defy and defyplus?
Can defyplus used the defy-cm7?

that not the same battery and the kernel is adapted for that

Defy builds uses froyo kernel whereas defy + builds uses gingerbread kernel. to install defy versions on defy +, you need to install bl6 group and flash, however battery may not charge tohundred percent. The defy + builds can be used by defy red lens and regular defy +. Green lens defy will have problems with camera if we flash defy + bulls, green bread mod may work on few roms.
I'm having defy red lens and using cm72 defy + builds with Walter 4.5.3-109 kernel which gives best battery life.

which sbf you used?
I flashed the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132 O2.en.DE with CM7 and cannt boot up with the Walter 4.5.3-109 kernel (and any other kernel ).
I can only used the 4.5.1-134_DFP-132 kernel .
sorry for my poor english!

If you have *redlens* defy you can flash Quarx CM72 builds with walter kernel. The 4.5.3-109 kernel gives good battery life which you can use with 0316 builds. FOr ealier releases this kernel will give bootloop (this issue Quarx fixed from 0316 onwards) so you flash 4.5.2.109-dht_22 kernel.
The build can get from http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/ you can install CM9 kernel for it boot. Later you can change the kernel for better battery life.
The walter kernels are attached down - which you can flash via CWM.

Thanks！
I flashed the chinese bl=6 2.2sbf
then I can use the 4.5.3-109-11 kernel with cm7.
By the way which build is better between Quarx and Epsylon3 's.
Iam using Quarx 's 0314 now,it's great work.
And I was told that Epsylon will release the cm7 RC1 this week end.
which one would you preferred???

Well, quarx epsylon and maniac have different private builds.all of them have same base with little differences. You can use any of them, they will finalize and merge to stable when it's released.I use quarx cm72 defy + builds.

Hya, I know I am a n00b, but we all have to start . I must be doing something stoopid, as I am stuck at Motorola boot logo.
I have a defy red lenses (confirmed both visual and with log analyzer).
I have installed CM9 kernel, and I can boot latest defy+ quarx rom (30-30)no problem, but once I install 4.5.3 kernel, I am stuck at the big red M.
Also, when I boot CM9 signed kernel, returns 2.6.32.9...isn't this Froyo? Shouldn't be Gingerbread? I must be doing something obviously wrong, but I cannot find anything in the forums....

Which one is it cm9 build or cm72 build? I guess cm9 binaries not updated, anyway Try installing dht22 kernel, cm9 is GB kennel only don't get confused by looking at 2.6...

Sorry, gave for granted I was talking about CM9.
I attach screenshot of the about page with Rom, Android & Kernel detail...maybe I am searching for something that is not there (already there?), and I am already as high I can go? Thx for the help!

[Q]Latest/Best Kernels for Froyo and Gingerbread

For the sake of updatedness, what are the best kernels for Froyo and Gingerbread?
Also, I flashed a GB kernel to try out a CM9 build. Now I want to install the official 7.2 RC. I need to flash a Froyo kernel again right?

There are no custom kernels for the defy as it has a locked bootloader, only the official signed motorola ones, the froyo which came with defy and gb which came with defy+.
For cm7 you need froyo kernel, just reflash it. Cm9 have 2 builds - one for froyo kernel and one for gb kernel. I think the green lense defys may only work with froyo kernel.

What abt the DHT kernel from Walter. I think its not ripped from defy or defy+.
It is used in Motoginger roms

Hi, sorry for my first noob question ...
Quite the same question as the original :
I found here on the github (I can't post link) that 2.2.2-177 & 2.2.2-179 have a different Kernel hashes 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4 or 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8.
I thought the latest CM7.2 were containing the lastest kernel id 179.
When I look at mine I have 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4, which seems to be 177 ...
I'm actually on cm7.2 20120509-NIGHTLY-jordan, from the official nightlies ...
here (on the dowload page from Epsylon3, can't post ...) i found the 179 kernel, would it be necessary to flash it in order to have a matching kernel with the lastest nightlies ?
Only talking of froyo kernels ...

So do I think. However some people are often saying that they flashed a cm9 or whatever kernel... what do they mean by this.
P.S.: There are some attempts to boot another kernel with the help of kexec/2ndboot, but currently only with minor succes afaik.

[Q] Defy+ CM7.2 on Defy stuck on boot

I'm on MS2Ginger 4.0 on red lens defy and was interested to move to CM7.2 with the same kernel. I came to know that Defy+ CM have gingerbread kernel. So I downloaded the Defy+ CM7.2 from http://www.defy-cm.net/defy_plus-cm7-nightly/ and tried with walter's kernel, but the phone got stuck on boot with the M logo. So I went back to ms2ginger. Today I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398031 which provides a CM7 kernel, but even after using it I got stuck on boot. Can someone recommend me how I can get the Defy+ cm7.2 on my defy. Thanks!

You can get cm72 from quarx builds which fixed this issue, there used to be a problem with 2ndint 2ndboot binary files which quarx fixed and probably eppy build is old and doesn't contain those changes.
Goto http://quarx2k.ru and navigate to cm72 and download and install. I have red lens defy on which i always prefer roms work with walters kernel 4.5.2.109_dht_22. If i remember correctly ihad run cm72 with your similar kernel

Great! Will give that a try... can you tell me how was the battery life with that rom and kernel combo?

Thanks bro! Got it working with Quarx build... now let's see if battery life is comparable to ms2ginger..

fast
stable and super smooth
Sent from my Xperia Z using xda premium

How about battery performance in the Xperia ROM?
Hady

Xperia D possible that is fast and smooth but I doubt whether stable because it has a lot of extras and goodies.
If you want a stable rom to select the latest Quarx 09.04

where can I get the latest Quarx 09.04? Is it CM?

I'm sorry, the latest version is from yesterday.

Thanks. I tried the CM9 ROM, but it was not as fast as the CM7,2, maybe because ICS/JB requires more CPU power than GB? Also battery performance is bad.
I am looking for something stable/fast/good battery performance. what do you recommend?
Hady

Forget ICS or JB based roms—there are no stable ones for Defy, or with good battery life. I've tried all of them, and I always run into problems. Your best bet is to stick to CM 7.2 stable or nightly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458729

Thanks Glaux. I am currently using CM 7.2 nightly latest, and also tried the latest stable one, but seems that my deep sleep percentage is very small in CPU spy.... how can I make it go in deep sleep? how can I know what is stopping it?
Hady

I'm running the newest Quarx CM10 rom.
Very stable for me.
I've made some minor modifications with Titanium Backup, removing all the apps that i dont need.

thank u for ur reply..can u send the link of Quarx CM10 rom and what r all the minor changes you did.

In my experience, wajkiUi and MS2Ginger are two most stable roms. Both of them are GB and supports 720p video recording with no bugs. I personally prefer wajkiui and trust me i have tried most of available roms on xda for defy. :angel:
Thanks to hard working developers :good:

Basically i need a stable one for max daily usage with max battery ... i use internet and games rarely
and whats this thread contains.. many ROM names and which one are for DEFY !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824551

CM9 is the best option for you. Go to uncledan's android mirror to get CM9
I'm using CM10 27/05 but it does have few bugs.
All the roms on that thread are for the Defy and Defy+.

Quarx' CM10 18/03 was pretty stable, no bugs at all for me. 27/05 is considerably faster though. I'd say CM10 is a safe bet as it's quite mature by now. Be aware that some of these builds are marked as experimental (the ones with the red colour)

I am using Quarx' CM10 17/2 with Blechdose 22/3 Jellyx kernel... It's very smooth and stable

thanks you all...(i mean it)
decided to try cm9 ...
downloaded the last one from http://defy-cm.net/defy-cm9-nightly/ (its Quarx)
flashed the OS , its gr8 for now. will update soon .
Going to install basebandswitcher 4.
and also battery calibration tool after a full recharge !!
inbetween one dbt ..im using a DEFY mb525 .(prev os was cm7.2). So my kernel will be a FROYO One . R8?
Should i install GB kernel for better performance ...?

Yes, there's not much of a difference. You don't need to install any kernel.

But in this thread it shows i need to flash kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618904
r8 now my phone shows kernel as 2.6.32.9-gb ....
got kernel-gb-234-451-134-signed.zip from http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/
