Hi everyone.
I´m using right now CM7 by Quarkx (last nightly), I was thinking about switch to CM9 but I've found a post from user skeevy420 who mentions CM7 Kang. Can anyone tell me what version is this, advantages over Quark's version and installation procedure.
If anyone can give the links to the latest version of this rom and gapps working for this one that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You can find skeevy's cm7 kang here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755200
I've been using it as my daily use rom and I get over 24 hours without charging. (just a guess because I charge it overnight when it's still at 40%)
You can find latest gapps by searching on Google.
He's only put out one version of the cm7 kang and it's super stable.
My suggestion is to keep using cm7 until cm10 is stable, if you're just looking for a day to day rom. Welcome to Bravo.

Hi guys,
Just have a quick question- wondering if anyone is running into the same problem. I just installed Cyanogen 7 rc1, and it is force closing between the load screen and the welcome screen (for the first time).
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but any help would be great.
Thanks
Based off what I've read in the development threads, the RC does't seem to be too much of an RC. I'd restore and wait.
you have to flash RC1 over a nightly build.

Yep! Its was a known issue with the first build of RC1. Something was botched. I recommend you either flash RC1 over nightly build #38, or you just flash nightly build #39 (which already includes fixes that were left out of RC1).
Cheers!
anyone using cm7.2 rc1 yet? i've been trying to download it, but it's really slow. Been pretty happy with the nightlies so far, and am looking forward ot cm7.2 stable (and cm9 stable of course)
any new bugs that i should be aware of before flashing? I'm not too android savvy, so any tips are appreciated.
thanks
I'm trying to get it too, many people have same issue. The CM servers are hot these days
As far as i know there might be some issue with ringtones when stored on sd card...?
You can check official 'bugzilla'
I did dig but didnt find anything to worry.
tried the official update but it was "meh"
almost same with the nightlies, minus some features from nightlies
I went back to euroskank nightly instead
i suggest using the newest nightlies, 'cause they have some bugs fixed, which RC1 don't. You should see the CM7.2 RC1 thread, there is a .torrent link which is running full speed, opposite to their sever
I'm downloading now will share my experience once I'm done!
Hello I have a Defy MB525 and I'd like to give it an upgrade and since there's no official Android releases above 2.2 I'm thinking about installing CM) which is 4.0 based right? I'd like to know how's the performance? does it become slower or how many bugs are? would you recommended it? thanks in advanced, it looks really good so I'd like to try it!
dear friend, trust me .you'd better use the CM9 latest by quarx's.Now we all taste the JB already
anyway the Quarx's CM series(CM7,CM9.CM10) are very perfect on Defy.
You must to try for it!:good:
for everyday rom, try cm9 by epsylon froyo kernel. I am using it and there's no issue or bug I have encountered (I use my defy as a phone).
What are the major differences between Quarx's and Epsylon ROMS? thanks you both for the info!:good:
there is no difference in both builds, afterall both are ics...
why don't you try both using multiboot and decide yourself.
I will give them a try, both releases can be found on Development section right? any link? thank you!
EDIT: Now that you mention it? how can I use multiboot? could I have stock rom and custom rom?

There is multiboot thread in development section, just go through it and you will find out how.
And yes you can have stock rom as base rom and custom rom as virtual rom as long as you have same kernel for both.( for mb525 its froyo kernel)
Btw the link for multiboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
Thanks! Do you have by any chance the links for CM9 by Quarx and Epsylon? thank you!

NOT RECOMMENDED. The performance you'd get from a ROM installed to your microSD (that's what multiboot does!) is inferior to having installed in the ROM partition of the phone.

Cm9 by epsylon - http://defy-cm.net/
And by quarx - http://quarx2k.ru/
I will skip the installation of MultiBoot for now, but I will try either Quarx's or Epsylon's ROM, thank you!!
First of all, Im 100% n00b. I've got no experience in roms...
Just rooted my Defy+ and looking to install a fast and stable rom.
Is there an ics/jelly bean one with everything working and with no bugs?(For daily use?)
Also plz tell me how to install it. I know you need to install 2ndinit, wipe caches and then flash the rom and google apps. ( And a lot of fixes)
What else do you need to do?
Any help will be really appreciated!
There are lots of ROMs that are at a point that they are daily-use ready. There is of course CM10 JB which I am personally running on my green lens defy. I love it. Asking which is best though will just start a fight. Your best bet is to select one and try it out. Do a forum search to locate a step by step walkthrough. Quarx has a good one in the FAQ I believe. Once you have played with one a little, try another. This will help you get comfortable with the process and help to understand what each step is doing. I have tried aokp, paranoidandroid, and cm9 and 10. So far my favorite is cm10. I use the minimalgapps to save room in the ROM. Make sure to search the forums before posting. Lots of information is already here. Happy flashing!
sent from the xda-developers app on my Motorola Defy (SOC) running CM10 (quarx nightly 20120912) with minimal gapps

You will not get a JB rom without any bugs yet...
cm10 by quarx is good!
If you want speed go with cm 7 if you want the new features cm 10 (drains battery)

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/
Before that my Questions are
should i update the KERNEL .. its some threads its shown Kernal Update is necessary ...
