Hi,
a friend of me has many problems with his defy+, like photos which disappear or reboots.
I suspect a buggy Android 2.3.6 (stock) on his defy is the reason for this, but of course, I can't know.
I think, if it's a hardware bug, the whole phone would not work (my understanding of hardware )
So I would like to know if somebody here had similar problems with his defy+ and installing cm 10 fixed that.
He doesn't like the idea of sending it back, so I would try CM10 first.
Thanks for answering,
Michael
Stock is peace of "censored"
Just flash CM10, and try it for yourself

Hi, I'm a noob just bought a new Defy (my first Android device)
I know this will annoy most of you here, but I have been reading this forum for past few days but couldn't come to a conclusion. So thought of posting a new thead.
I have a Defy running on Eclair and wanted to upgrade to 2.3 or to some custom ROMS, but I got too much confused reading all about Stock ROMS, CM7, CM9, MIUI and other Custom ROMS.
I just want to upgrade my phone from 2.1 and I desire a ROM which will give me Great Performance and Good Battery Life.
Can anyone here be kind enough and give me a simple explanation of what should I do.
You can post a wacky caption as well.
Thank for any help.

Don't have time to give instructions now, but DO NOT flash a full 2.3.6 sbf/upgrade to 2.3.6! Stay on froyo. It is possible to run all custom roms with this as base, also the newest 2.3.6 gingerbread ROMs. Someone please specify for the guy^^

Okay thanks mate for that info.
Currently i'm on Eclair so i think first of all i have to upgrade to froyo then i can think of going to cm7 and othet custom roms, right?
As you all would have played with lot of custom roms, can anyone suggest me which one should i go with?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
It's really just a matter of taste. Here are some of the main categories of custom roms:
MIUI
CM7
Modified stock roms
CM9 and CM9 based ICS roms (that's ICS, android 4 . Not stable yet, maybe never 100% without unlocked bootloader )
There are many different flavours to choose from within most of these categories, but there are already a lot of threads about this. You need to read, read, read before you start flashing custom roms. Have you read the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide? Every defy user should read it. Every single day a noob starts a new thread about a bricked defy: "please help me, my father will kill me if he finds out about my defy", etc, etc. These questions have ben answered 1,000,000 times already, so use the search function before posting!
By the way this thread should be moved to the Q&A section. Moderator will take care of that when it's reported...

Hi, I'm a noob here but I have tried a couple of ROMs like CM7, CM9 and WIUI. For me the WIUI looks very good but I don't think it is being updated anymore (pls correct me if I'm wrong). I've seen that MIUI has many variants (WIUI being one of them) so can you kindly tell me which one do you think is the best? And if ever you've tried other roms that are better than MIUI then please feel free to tell me. Thank you.

I've been using WIUI (GB) for a while and have tested a bunch of different ROMs CM7, CM9 (with both Froyo and GB kernel, Epsy, Quarx, Maniac, Euroskank, White Rabbit ), MIUI (WIUI, Galnet, Picachu) and I keep coming back to WIUI. It just works for me.
All listed and others are great developers and each brings something different. It just depends on what you need and what's right for you. e.g. If you need your camera without fail, CM9 is not the place to be. If the camera is not important, test out the CM9s and see which one fits you the best.
Don't forget to thank the developers and, if you can, send them a few bucks for the work they do. They pretty much do it on their own time and without compensation.
ive tried almost all available ROMS for DEFY --- but --- Trust me ... from the time i started using PIKACHU ive never been able to go to some other ROM ... u too try it .. its awesome !!

DO NOT start new threads asking for "the best" nightlies. It changes all the time, and everybody will give you a completely different answer.
But since you have a defy+, the obvious is to flash a Defy+ build (gb kernel). Quarx is the only developer who owns a defy+, and his nightlies are the best. For daily use they are rock stable. No force-closes, no reboots, just perfect. Original thread: Voilà!
FuZZ__'s kangs are good too with even more features added. Check out the thread here
sorry i didn't wanted to open a new huge discusion
ok then i'll try the quartx one! and maybe later the kang!
thanks!
Don't worry. I probably overreacted!

downloading fuzz version!
afaik eppys builds are quite stable too. whats the difference between them (except the obvious kernel difference)? any feature differences, does one support hwa better than the other? i have a red lensed defy, so i can move between kernels.

defy is very resetting when you open 3 applications and more or less when you turn then resets again, anyone know what it is?
i use CM10 QUARX 05/12/12 clock 1 ghz 52vsel
Strange.. try doing a clean install again.. (wipe data+cache+dalvik) And I would also recommend using the blechd0se kernel . It's awesome. :good:
If possible, provide more details about your problem..
And please post this question in the CM10 problems reporting thread, more people will be able to help you there.
Hello Friends,
Been here after a long time gap. SO have no idea about new developments etc..
I am using AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2 at the moment and want to change it now. Have been great but off late has started hanging, auto rebooting etc..
Please advise which is the most stable option I can move on to.
Cheers!
As said before no one can advice a rom to any one you need to try for your self and this is the wrong section for this post there is a Q&A section for that don't hesitate to post any question there or better search before posting as it may happen for someone to ask the same thing your asking.

As he said, search before posting and post in the correct sections. The most stable version may differ from phone to phone, but generally it's CM7 or MIUI GB.

This has been my experience exactly. Did not like CM7 versions, but the MIUI GB ROM has been my go-to ROM for nearly 2 years now. I'm back to it now, after trying out various 4.0 and 4.1 ROMs, and I have to say the MIUI one is smoother and doesn't get buggy and laggy (haven't had any problems in at least 2 months now, which is actually quite a long time based on prior experience with other ROMs).
