CM = CyanogenMod.
Basically its custom rom developed for Defy / Defy+, You may use different version of CM roms for your defy to have different version of android which our MOTO do not provide.
CM7 - Gingerbread 2.3.6
CM9 - Ice-Cream Sandwich - 4.0.4
CM10 or CMX - Jelly Bean - 4.1.1
Enjoy...

Oh, I want to ask is status bar transparent too? Like in MiUi roms? I mean the status bar itself not the notifications slide - i know this is transparent...

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
try wiui 2.3.16 stable..its pretty fast and based on miui..
but i like cm7 the speed is incomparable...and plays 720p videos like a Ferrari lol
MIUI 2.3.16 :FTW:
very stable - plenty fast & usually updated every week ^^
MIUI are beautiful,but I didn't like it

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??

Which one out of three is most stable?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA

from cm9 to cm7.2 rc2

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.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
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 .

[Q] Defy Jellybean CM10 Help!

*Don't respond with comments saying read this or that...
I have read the guides for moto defy mb525 U.S. tmobile and yet i don't understand a thing. I have a bionic and have rooted/flashed/sbf'd before so I have experience but not with this device. I tried understanding from the wiki and beginners guide yet it didn't help me at all. (I'm dumb)
MY Goal: Jellybean CM10 on my Defy
I am currently on froyo 2.2 and I don't understand how to get CM10
I have an original tmobile u.s. defy (Im pretty sure its green lens)
If someone can provide links I can learn:
What should I SBF to?
What should I use to root?
How do I flash cm9 kernel (I heard its the only way to get the CM10 working on a tmobile mb525)
Once I get a recovery I know how to flash and stuff I just want to be guided until I get to clockwork recovery and have the cm9 kernel flashed.
Please help, don't flame....its what makes this community great
Root it with SuperOneClick 1.9 for Defy! it should be somewhere on xda I dont know where use the search function...
Install 2nd INIT it should add cwm
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Sorry Sir but its useless to flash CM10(current version) on MB525 coz its being made for MB526(Defy+). Your efforts will be in vein. Why not go for 4.0.4 by Eppy? Latest build is stable as hell!
I read that you can flash CM10 by quark on your green lens defy but of course camera won't work
I got soft reboots. And the current version can't make calls/text.
Go for CM9 its really getting into its groove now

Since you sound new to flashing roms, you shouldn't start off with an alpha rom you have to port, instead, start with an Epsy CM9 or Maniac103 CM7 -- both are stable and a good place to start learning about rom flashing.
***Before you start flashing sbf's, you should read the sbf thread and find an sbf you like that's on the same BL version you're currently on, or if out of warranty, flash a bl6 sbf so you can switch between the GB and Froyo kernels. I'm not going to go into BL versions anymore, but that's one of the most important things you need to learn when flashing Defy roms and sbfs.***
For rooting, I use SuperOneClick 1.9.5. Then just enable non-market apps and install Defy 2nd-Init Recovery, reboot into it, select wipe data\factory reset, then flash cm7 or 9 followed by the appropriate version of gapps. Those steps will soon become second nature, to the point where you can root and flash a custom rom in your sleep.
All the tools and roms can be found by searching the forums. Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of custom roms.

MB525, green lens. From android 2.1 to 4.* ICS.

Hello!
I am new here, also i have no experience. I own a Motorola Defy MB525, with green lens, the android version of the device is 2.1 update.
Because, i am lost through the vast amount of info , i would like to advice and suggest me, a way to upgrade my device to android ICS, if that's not too much trouble. The device is already rooted. Also i don't use windows on my pc, i use linux, openSUSE 12.2 distro.
I want to thank you for your time and effort to answer my inquiry.

so is it safe to use the m526 build even if the cpu are different? i mean the mb525 use an ARM cpu, does the mb526 uses also an ARM cpu?

Both MB525 and 526 have the OMAP3630 processor. In MB525 it is underclocked to 800Mhz, while in MB526 it is clocked at 1Ghz.

I am rooted all ready.
The problems I am facing with the original rom now, is that I can not save data or photos on my sd card and I can not use the youtube app, because it says that I have no connection. But i can i browse through the web, check my emails and download apps via play store.
So I've taken the decision, that it is time flash another rom in my device.
Where do I download 2ndinit?
Thanks in advance.
I've finally got CM7 in my android. I love the GUI. It's like having a new phone in my hands.
The next step is to get android 4.x if it's possible.
