tried quarx pre alpha its quite interesting , is there any chance that eppy will build cm10 for green lense defy ?,he has done a great work on cm9 not to forget
Once the ROM has been compiled for atleast one of the defys without major glitches, i think its more than possible that JB will be available for green lensed defy.....Its always good to remain optimistic anyway!
ooops, didnt read carefully

Hi
I did read in the dev section, that there is a new *.sbf from the Defy+ with Android 2.3.6. which can be flashed on the Defy. I know there is no going backl from that if flashing the full sbf.
As far as i know the Defy with red lens (bayer device) is basically a Defy+.
So what i wanna know...will the camera work with this new sbf...basically, will everything work?
Nope... I don't think the red lens camera is working fine as of now...
Btw... was wondering if we flash the nandroid of the 2.3.6 then can we return to frayo?

hmmm. darn it... and here i was thinking the defy with red lens is quite the same as defy+. Obviously there are differences in the end.
So no experiments for me then...need the camera. hope it will start working at some point. Epsylon3 wrote, that with defy+ kernle some things are working easier and that they would probably jump to that kernel. But without Cam... :-(
Regarding the nandroid...sory..not sure if u can return..i think yes...but no guarantees ton that. U will have to read the thread in dev section from walther79

Someone already flashed this full SBF on a Defy MB525, its working perfectly for him. As long as you have a Red lens, and dont care about downgrading, you can go for it
ah... two different opinions
From what i was reading in the meantime it wont work. At least thats what Walter79 wrote
Anyways...am on CM9 now and thats ok for now.. if i would use the newer Defy+ Kernel+Bootloader that wont work at the moment.

No... the ROM does work on Red lens Defy and Defy+, that's a fact.
What wont work is the Fixed SBF, cause it needs the new Firmware to work... which is only possible to have by flashing the full SBF.
Walter also said he is going to base the new MSGinger in this rom, and make it work on Green lens.
But the rom DOES work on Red Lens defy.
thx again... good to know for sure.... hoping that way the red lens defy will be compatible with any updates from moto for defy+
help me to
i was wondering if i could try the latest CM9-NIGHTLY-120411-Defy+.zip(DEFY+ zip) on Defy running 4.04 (1204006)??
is it safe... what files will i need to use??? do i hv to try to the different kernel.. till now i had been using CM7 kernel...for my defy.

I am not sure, but previous versions by eppy, talking bout dec 2011 builds, were defy+ builds too and they worked on the normal defy. But I have forgotten, how or what was to do oO
I wouldn't try it, cause I am too afraid to do something wrong and brick. have you fully read through the CM9 thread? maybe there is kinda an answer.
Other possible problems, i thinnk can appeare are:
-Battery not loading, due to different battery properties
-Camera Problems
I would recommend, to wait these 2-3 days until a new defy build appears. This will be optimised for the "normal" defy.
I also heard people are experiencing problems with 1104 build...
You will have to flash the gingerbread kernel first (defy+ kernel) and afterwards you may have battery problems.
And if you have defy green lense your camera wont work.

Yup, as mentioned in this thread you can install in red lens defy after flashing the defy+/gb kernel but you also need a battery patch as the charge ratings are different for defy and defy+.

You may have to find the patch for battery first which works with DFP-231. Other than that, I don't think there should be any problem.
I only have a Defy Plus. So, can't test it.

What is the better ROM for Red Lens Defy?
From Epsylon (Froyo Kernel) or Quarx (GB Kernel) ?
I have been flashed Epsylon nightlies and the cam recorder never worked. Some users have been said that in Quarx nightlies in red lens Defy, the video recorder its working...
Is it true?
Thanks for Defy Red Lens

On Defy+ I have used CM7 Quarx which was rock solid (worked everything) and changed to CM9 Quarx 0522. There is some problem with video playback, it is a little bit laggy. The recording and after playback on PC seems to be OK.

I guess that could be the result of partial implementation of HWA.

Exactly! Otherwise the new features of the ICS compensates me.

I'm using Quarx 2605 nightly and works very well
The bug with data connection already was corrected in this version and everything works, except panorama.
It seems that in the newer eppy nightly, camcorder and panorama works after flash a fix.
Its worth change from quarx to eppy now? anyone tried with Defy red lens?
Epsylon3 or Quarx2
I think that both the roms are great, but settings of Epsylon3 have more things.
With me no problems, but my defy wont charge when turn off.
Any solutinos?
Hey guys,
My wife was complaning about her Defy being slow so i dediced to take a look and install a custom rom. As a SGS 2 user, i'm very confused with Defy
My wife has;
MB525 (i assume this is Defy not Defy+) with Android 2.2.1 and Green Lens
I've read lots of topics and understood the rooting process, etc. but my biggest confusion is with the kernel and roms. I'm seeing froyo and GB kernel, what is the difference between them? Which kernel should i use for my Defy? The roms are kernel specific? If i have froyo or GB kernel, i can't use some roms?
And lastly, which roms you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance!
first of all Motorola sucks!!!
defy's bootloader is locked..so no custom kernel...hence we use official kernels..
as u know dere r 2 kernels..ICS and GB kernel..defy with green lens can use only froyo kernel..if u flash a GB kernel on defy with green lens then u wont have camera(dere is a patch)..
and i think all roms support froyo kernel..so u shouldn't be having any problem..
new defy with red lens and defy+ can run gb kernel..dere isnt much difference in performance between gb and froyo kernel but gb kernel give better battery life..thats the only visible difference..
Go through guides and threads and i m sure u will understand better..
try many roms..start with CM7..then jump to CM9..if u get bored then do try WajkMIUI..they look pretty good
Welcome to the world of Locked Bootloader
The ROM I would recommend
I have exactly the same phone as you have. The best ROM would be:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
Its Android version 2.3.7
Its from Quarx and its fast, stable and give long battery up time. You can trust it 100%.
ICS is under development.
Please hit the Thanks button if this was useful.
The defy+ is basically the defy with a better battery, 100% red lenses and official gingerbread. Therefor the kernel for the defy+ is called the gingerbread kernel.
In this kernel there it's only support for the red lens module. So you can't use your cam on this kernel.
(flashing this kernel is done best from recovery as you have no danger of not ably to go back).
A ROM made for one kernel can't be used on an other.
The other thing is the battery. Most defy+ roms use the battery files of the defy+. I think the builds from epsy use tyre defy files (he doesn't have a defy+) although this just needs a patch.

You mean there is a patch to make the camera work with a gb kernel and green lens defy? I can't find any...
can someone link me to a battery fix for the plus version of cm7.2 made by quarx? im currently using a red lense defy, and I CANT find the f*cking battery fix for red lense in cm7 really.. I only find for cm10 and cm9 battery fixes!

Did this work?
And if so could I please ask your opinion? I also have a red lens defy. I am on Epsylon3's froyo kernel and using Quarx's CM10. I want to go back to CM7.2 and want to use Quarx's nightly that has 720p recording. Do I need to flash a GB kernel and use the defy+ build for 720p to work, or can I stay on the froyo kernel and use the defy build? The reason I want to stay on froyo kernel is that I don't want the battery issues.
I tried a CM7 Defy+ build on my Defy Red Lens, used a battery fix I got from the ParanoidAndroid dev forum and it kinda worked. I say kinda cuz when I try to reboot it actually powers off and cannot get on til a battery pull, but everything else is OK

Thanks did you have to flash a GB kernel, or did you stay on the froyo kernel?
I flashed the GB kernel, didn't tried the froyo kernel though, it normally bootloops with defy+ roms
Sent from My Moto Defy
I have a CM9 GB kernel on defy red lens, wanted to install CM7 Defy + as multiboot. But my Cm7 shows a '?' for the battery status icon. Tried Battery fix for 1500mah defy red lense also tried ICS red lense batt fix but no use.
Battery fix
This is battery fix for Defy+ (MB526)
Install via "flash .zip" in the recovery them restart your phone
If it don't work, it's that the kernel had changed so, re-install attached kernel also by "flash .zip" in recovery system, restart your phone and you will see the battery's percentage.

Tried it but still no battery status. Maybe i have a froyo sbf flashed earlier and then I installed MIUI/WIUI n then installed the CM9 GB with GB kernel. Anyways dont want to do a fixed sbf +nandroid now and redo everything will try to get a CM10 Gb working.
