This phone is going with my sister so needs to be stable and have everything working. I currently have CM9.1 stable on this and it seems very stable so far. I thinking of either upgrading to the latest CM9 nightly or going going straight to the latest and greatest CM10 nightly.
What do you guys recommand, stay with stable or upgrade to CM9/10 Nightly??
Currently the latest CM9 nightly is from 2012-09-16, can anyone comment that is running it?
Or what about the Slim Roms?
I think that from stable version (cm9) roms are stable.
Slimics seems faster than cm and is also stable. Both ROMs work good.
So I don't know which ROM recommend you. I was more satisfied with slim ROM.
I haven't tested cm10 yet.

i'm leaning towards slim as well because CM seems to slow down to a crawl when installing apps. YAY/NAY?
I'm running cm10, and it working fantastic for me. Every device responds differently, so why not test a slim out and compare. If u don't like it, just change it before u give it to ur sister.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
both are very good roms, i prefer cm10 or any other rom based on cm10
If I were you, I would just stay on CM9.1 stable or at least wait for CM10 RC1.
my biggest complain for CM 9.1 is 911 does not work, I wonder if this works on Slim. Can anyone confirm?
My 3 year old nephew has major allergies and this is the only phone she has and 911 is a MUST.
Just try dialing and see if it works and if it does just tell them you are testing 911 for phone software and they will understand. I have done this will another device and they said "yup its working" and I was good.
Triple S
Slim Sexy Stable
Last CM9 nightly is very stable and excellent for daily usage (in fact is 9.1.0 + some small fixes)
CM10 is working good also, but there are some small issues to be fixed (photo to external SD, direct dial in lock screen, some missing features from CM9)
I don't know about Slim, but between CM9 and CM10, I would pick latest CM9.

and what about 911?
Sorry, in Europe is 112. Somebody from US should comment on 911
112 works for me both cm10 and 9.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I think it might be the modem or because i did a restore of CM9 right after going 100% stock and not installing stable 9.1 zip first.
In Mexico is 060 and it works fine for me. I'm using ugkg3 modem due to 850mhz support. About the roms... I tried both and Slim it's more customizable than CM, both are super fast and are stable enough to use it as daily drive. Right now I'm running the last CM10 nightly + semaphore 2.4.0 and it's super smooth... I recommend you to try both roms and decided which one do you like better
P.D. Sorry for my bad english

Hi,
I've picked up a motorola defy, and am wondering what is the most recent e.g ICS, rom that is stable and everything works?
So far i've rooted the phone and that's about it.
It's a 2.51 UK phone.
I'm familiar with the HTC Desire S roms, but haven't a clue when it comes to the Defy.
I've searched through the dev forum, but can't quite get an indication of what's what.
Sorry for the noob question.
Thanks for any replies.
Did you maybe already found out if it has green (SOC) lens or red (bayer) lens camera module? SOC only works on Froyo kernels, while bayer works on both Froyo and Gingerbread kernels. (Which is not of great importance, cause almost all ROM's are available for both kernels)
Anyways... What do you like? Here are some of my recommendations...
For MIUI v2 - Pikachu MIUI (WIUI comes 2nd, as Pikachu had fewer bugs for me and was overall snappier)
For MIUI v4 - WIUI v4
For CM7(.2) - maniac103's builds or FuZZ's KANG's - almost the same, but details do make them different
For CM9 - Epsylon3 made the latest CM9 builds with the final fixes and touches
For AOKP ICS - There's a Milestone 6 coming up soon, built by Kayant (he's building from source, port's can't compare with that)
For JellyBean - I must say I would recommend ParanoidAndroid, which is based on CMX, but somehow manages to be snappier and much better at RAM management. AOKP JP alpha is snappy, too, when compared to CMX. Although the CMX I'm talking about is the one build by Quarx, but people do say tha Epsylon's builts are better performance-wise.
Thanks.
From the looks of my lens it's bayer.
Are any of those roms a default/minimal ice cream sandwich? That's all i'm after really, as I guess jelly bean will have loads of stuff not working correctly yet.
Actually CM10 is working as good as CM9, maybe better. But I must say, I switched to CM10 since the 2nd nightly, and never went back to CM9, so maybe there was an improvement since that in CM9 nightlys...
But you should try them all and choose which you like

When you say minimal, I'm assuming you mean feature-wise, not GUI-wise, so I guess the best choice for you would be to wait up for AOSP Jelly Bean which Kayant is trying to build from source here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824551
If you don't want Jelly Bean, but ICS, then I think this is the way to go - CM9 Moto Ice Gun - http://www.custom-android.de/portfolio/cm9-motoicegun-edition/ (you can find it in the defy development forum, too). Most of the guys who tested it claim that it's the fastest ICS ROM for the Defy.

i still think , that CM9 is the most stable rom for defy
CM9 is fatser then GB , ICS if definitely better then GB in all terms
so a recent stable rom - CM9 .
but in near future , if TI releases proper SGX drivers for our devices .. then , m sure CM10 will be the most stable rom for defy .
IMHO I would choose CM10
What Kayant is doing isn't pure AOSP. It has some fixes!
I was talking with Quarx recently and he said that CM10 is very similar to pure AOSP..so trust me...go CM10

I've given AOKP ICS milestone 5 a go.
Seems to be lacking polish compared to the HTC ICS roms with sense 3.6 - I guess that's something i'm going to have to get used to. I don't like his boot screen either.
When I say minimal i mean without a bunch of pre-installed stuff like games, twitter etc..

I don't know whether I'm using BL6 kernel (2.3.6) on Defy which cause this problem.
Also, since CM9, I can't play myTV (apps from TVB) live broadcast.
Anyone can help to try it on your CM9/10? Here is the apps:

Quarx,no doubt, he develops this. Anyways, if it includes some apps you don't want or some to add simply do this with an archiver manager on computer...
Hi all!
What stable ROM do you guys recommend for Defy green lens? I recently installed the most stable CM7 and I like but there are some thing I don't quite like, like the incompatibility with Titanium backup, the vibration issue for notifications, and the battery life didn't improve significantly. So, I am looking for the one but without having to flash 7-8 roms, that where you guys coming in, which rom out there is the best and stable for defy green lens?
And if you could include a download link would be great, because I encountered so many sites with links and versions and rom and kernels, and this and that, that is confusing for a newbie like me.
Thank you!

Both, lol, my battery is 2+ years old and I should try CM10.
From all the CM10 and 11 what version is the most stable? If I flash it could I go back to stock eventually? (keep in mind that I have a Defy green lens) because if these custom roms don't work quite as smooth I think I'm going to ended up flashing the stock rom.
Diego, Thanx for all the help!
can we get a list of FULLY working stable roms together?

I use Cyangenmod 7.2 downloaded from the cyanogenmod website. I use it everyday and works perfectly
CM7 is the most stable and it is still being developed, albeit at a very slow pace (check their website for nightlies). All the ICS roms are still in testing and are good enough for daily use so long as you can deal with some minor bugs here and there. I'm using Evervolv ICS and it's good enough for me, though CM7 is noticably faster.
Evervolv ICS (last not official build with some new commits) is the most stable rom for me!
I prefer JB 4.1.1 evervolv @reider123

Well, it is hard to say. You should try them out and see what you like.
I was running the TeamEOS 3 (up to build 89) and they were quite stable. I had switched to the ParanoidAndroid/CM Hybrid by MattmanWRX and it was just as stable. Many users love the LiquidSmooth ROM as well.
I moved up to the TeamEOS 4 (build 90 and beyond) as it is Android 4.2 and feels smoother and faster than the 4.1 builds.
My best advice is to try a few out and see what you like.
I would highly recommend using TWRP instead of CWM recovery, and for the love of Android, do NOT use ROM Manager to install or update CWM on a TF101.
I've been using the official Cyanogenmod (CM-10.0) nightly for a few months. Decided to change to TeamEOS 4 a couple of weeks ago because progress on Cyanogenmod for this tablet has been slow and no stable build seems to be on the horizon. But today I moved back to the official Cyanogenmod (cm-10-20130217-NIGHTLY-tf101.zip). Although fast and pretty, I found TeamEOS 4 too buggy and unreliable. CM-10.0 may not be the latest Android version, and it is still a nightly release, but their standards for stability are high and it is a reliable 4.1.2. So I humbly suggest CM-10.0.

TWRP is definitely the way to go, I just installed it last week after a long time of using CWM 3.something, and it's SO much better. I did so after installing CWM touch using ROM Manager... oops!
As for the room, I've been using Rayman's CM10 version with KatKernel. Fast and stable.
raymans cm 10.1 android 4.2 with his cooked rom.. the one marked xmas release.. everything works...EVERYTHING... no crashes.. smooth n awesome.. make sure in performance you set the cpu/gov there.. and not use external apps ) hmm i cant test the hdmi but forsure everything else works flawlessly..
but i want rootbind of linux on here.. so gonna check out I.C.S roms.. then try to rootbind linux )but raymans v8 from xmas owns...haave not seen a device not being auto reconized by the tablet...and they dont need to be plugged in before reboot either.. i bow to rayman )) this rom only needs raymans completed 3.1 kernal.. he stopped work on..?
I was never able to find a 4.1.2 rom i was happy with

Hey folks!
I'm back on stock after CM10 and wanna go CM7.
I was on CM7.1 long back and then was on TweetyPeety's excellent MIUI Pikachu Edition.
Then I was on CM10-2012-11-18 build, but was having problems answering calls which was unacceptable to me, so I tried to flash MIUI back but it was a bit off, so I decided to start from scratch and flashed FroYo 2.2.2 SEA SBF (My default stock FroYo which I love and trust)
But it all slows down after a few months and now am looking for CM7 based ROMS, and wanna know which one's better:
1) [ROM][CM7] WhiteRabbitNextGen Edition 2.1.1 *END OF THE WORLD RABBIT*
and
2) [DEV][ROM] CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Android 2.3.7)
I am putting CM7.2 because I think it has smart dialing which I remember I sorely missed in CM7.1
But are there any good and latest CM7.2 or higher (but CM7 based only) ROMS?

Haven't tried the WhiteRabbit ROM. I gave Quarx's CM10 a chance over several months and decided to find something stable. WajkIUI based on MIUI and CM (stable GB version 3.1.27.) works great for me. Battery lasts up to 2 days even with a couple of 5% drops over that time. Its fast and smooth.
i like most mokee by euro_rules (modified version for defy+)! it's perfect! it looks great and no bugs at all
right now i'm using wiui gb and it's fine too but i think mokee is a bit better.. but miui looks prettier
the last whiterabbit is good and it looks like cm10
Thanks for the replies guys!
As I said, I have flashed CM 7.2 Official stable and am loving it!
The only problem I ever had with CM 7.x ROMS was the crappy ADW Launcher jitters in animations like swipe homescreen and open / close appdrawer.
I do believe its a problem with ADW itself because LauncherPRO works flawlessly giving as smooth animations (if not better) as the stock ROM.
The stock VSels are quite a bit high and I have notched it all down and undervolted to 300/25; 600/33; 1000/53.
Will also run V6 Supercharger and maybe even install latest CM 7 nightly which was recently updated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458729
Have also installed Swype which I just can't live without!
Now, As I see from the replies, there seem to be different variations for mokee OS for DEFY? which one should I try on my MB525 Red lense?
a) mookee by stefan braun
b) mokee by euro_rules (modified version for defy+)
BTW have to mention here something which I had to search and could not find readily:

Hey Folks,
after playing around a while mainly with CyanogenMod 10 built by Quarx,
I was dissatisfied with the stability and especially the speed of the Defy+.
After using an oldschool mobile for the last weeks I decided I might give the Defy one more chance (missing GoogleMail and Contacts).
I wondered whether I can expect a major speed boost in using for example CyanogenMod 7 or any other rom.
Also stability is important to me, as I experienced reboots and connection issues with CM10
So I realy don't need to many features, just a fast stable android.
(I believe a clean Android could totally satisfy these points, but I cant live with that bloated Motorola version..)
Do you have any recommendations/experience which other roms might meet my wishes?
Thanks in advance
Either CM7 or MS2Ginger should satisfy your needs. CM9 isn't that bad as well.

I also experience major stability and speed issues with CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) by Quarx.
Telephony API crashes a lot wish always requires a reboot.
Or the phone somehow loses the SIM card and i have to enter the PIN again before the phone becomes usable again.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong during the flashing process, or if it just 'normal' like that.
In any case, my Nexus4 was stolen in the Gym and I need a stable replacement phone for a few weeks!
Ordered the N5 yesterday, but who knows when it will _really_ ship.

I've falshed the Cm9 from Cm10.2.
My phone was blocked at the motorola logo.
Then i've flashed the CM 10 (Android 4.1.2) and after some attempts my phone restore.
Is there something different with CM9?
Maybe i've made a mistake with the CM9 file?
i would like to try to test stability and performance.

I suggest you to try the version 10....is much more stable and performing
My suggestion is to test the latest Mokee
I'm on Mokee 4.2.2 right now (4.3 is not stable). I'm loving it; fairly stable and slightly faster than CM 10.1. But the Telephony issue is still there; there's no cure for it, unfortunately.
If stability as well as speed are important to you, give WIUI 3.1.27 a try. I used it for a few days, was blazing fast! But moved on as i can't live with gingerbread.
