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.

[Q] Epsylon or Quarx ROM's for Defy Red Lens

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?

You should check all this topic before

Your symptoms indicate a wrong kernel. Flash right kernel, next correct rom for defy red lens and gaaps, then wipe cache and dalvick cache.

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.

Flash any custom ROM with Quarx kernel ... beacuse of your camera will not work never more because of DEFY+ sbf doesn't support defy( green lens)

Similar problem
Hi guys!
Why do you think my video recorder is not working for my Green Lens with almost all Quarx´s roms and Mokee.
It works with CM7 and cm-10.1-20130709 only but not with 4.3 or CM11.
I have installed CM11 and love it but I use a lot the video recorder so, I have returned to the one rom which is working for me.
All of us with a Defy Green Lens (MB-525) have the same problem or just me?
