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] [Defy +] Best Android 4 ROM (Codename Android) ?

Hi all,
When I bought my Defy + I installed CM9 (Android 4.0.4),
CM9 switched off everyday, it had few bugs, because it's IMM76D I think..
Then I installed Codename Android (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585905)
It works much better ! Do you think it's the best Android 4 ROM for Defy + ?
Thanks

Did you have to install any battery fixes?
Glad to know its working for you. Though epsilon3 and Quarx have been doing great work there are still a few bugs.

Hey, no :O
I will install CM7 in fact (for the moment) untill a stable verison of CM9
In fact no, Codename is so good, I'll stay with it

Okay.. So you have a defy+ and flashed this ROM
And it works??

I`ve tested a couple of ROM`s (MS2Ginger, MIUI, CM7 e CM9 and a few others)
In Fact, CM9 still a little buggy, but Epyslon and Quarx`s have made a really great work with his nightly`s
At now i`m on Epyslon Defy+ 042812 last nightly with MS2Ginger4.0 running as virtual system in multiboot and i really love it

Oh nice your Rom is better than mine ? It's Android 4 ?

I have not tested this ROM yet, so i can`t compare it.
Epy`s last nightly defy+ smoothy than others... I think this ROM also very fast, with no FC, no random reboot until now and i`ve noticed a better performance to play some games too (GTA3 with no lags LOL). Video bug still remains (Video works fine in defy bayer camera with Epyslon CM9 4.0.4 042812 MB525 nightly) but this doesn`t problem for me now, cause with MS2ginger4 i have video 720p record and panorama (thank`s to Walter79)...
ps: Sorry my "buggy" english!

Sorry I didn't see your message, what is the french for Stock Version please?

Today at morning i flashed cm9 Quarx`s nighty for defy+ (Video recorder works great. Only panorama not not working) The rom is very smooth and stable, with no reboot. So I dont need MS2ginger in multiboot anymore
Take a loook in the Quarx`s defy+ last nightly (Only if defy red lens or defypplus, off corse!)
Ps: CM9 nightylies works better with Defy red/Defy+ - 4.5.2-109_DHT-22 kernel than CM9 Kernel
Good luck!

Unfortunately, you flashed a Defy+ full SBF, you CANNOT downgrade it..
Try flashing the GB kernel, there's a rare chance it might wrk..

okay sir thanks a lot

Already fixed the battery problem?
You can root using the method from dev section (the bl7 method, use only then). Afterwards instal 2nt Init. Now you can instal custom ROMs again (only the defy+ ones). After that you might also have to flash a battery fix.
But camera will most likely never work for you without a new defy sbf released.

MB525 with MB526 ROM, help !

Hi guys, need your help.
I have a MB525 that was flashed with a stock local operator ROM but for the MB526. As a result I have no camera now. I believe the version is 2.3.5.
What are my options to upgrade this ROM to a proper 525 one and get the camera working again?
Thank you in advance

To use camera root and flash a 2ndboot ROM. I think you can try a fixed SBF, though I'm not sure about the details.

Hehe, and wait to see CM11. KitKat was redesigned to work with 512mb devices, as our defy.
I tried the alpha version and it leaves 275mb free.

My 525 flashed with 526 works fine XD what ROM are you using?
