Hi all
I see genokolar's latest cm7 rom for u8800 can't be used with franco's kernel. I use this combo now, on the v11118 rom. No doubt this'll get sorted soon, but...
If I want to update to 111128 now, or if this incompatible issue happens again, what can I do?
Does the geno cm7 rom include a "default" kernel?
If not, what other kernel options are there? Seems to be very few in the u8800 dev forums, and nothing seems to be actively maintained (note, not u8800pro!). Should I return to the stock kernel? And if so, how?
Thanks to all for the great work going on here, my u8800 would have been swapped for something else if it hadn't been for the awesome dev work being done.
every rom has its kernel...
thanks mate
I’m Using MIUI Now，and i want to flash cm9 on my defy，but I do not know how to do that. Anyone can help me? I have flashed cm7, is it the same with cm9?
this might help

you should just use multi-Boot Keep your curent room and CM9

I have done as that, but now the problem is cm9 has no signal in this way
I'm have not tried to flash cm9 coming from miui.
I just did the usual way, wipe everything and then instal .zip from SD.
If you want to instal builds, newer than 111207 you need to flash 111207 first.
hope this helped, greetz Esok
edit: I also had problems with the net while using multiboot.
Newer builds 111207 cant be used with multiboot. But in my opinion 111211 is good enough to use everyday
So, this is just the result of my messing around with these roms and tweaking where I see fit. They are both .32 franco kernel based and I flashed and tested both with CWM 5.0.2.6.
CyanogenMod Tweaked
First one is CyanogenMod 7.2 and owes everything to the amazing work by Ezet.
Original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527745 and tweaks are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269 Thanks to Ezet and Knzo
I have tweaked it by building a new kernel and editing the build.prop as well as adding other tweaks from elite rom by terramino. It also has bravia engine built in and a few apps removed. Seems smooth and a little sharper than before. Battery may end up being a little better too. Will have to see.

EliteRom X1 with Market
This is just Terramino's rom with the market put in by default. Original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475687. Thanks to Terramino for all your work.
I have also removed some apps. Why did this rom have three notepads? just download one you like from the market now.

What about a Custom Kernel?
Just for my experimentation, I have made a custom kernel. It has my smartass V2 mods, various other governer mods, SimpleIO enabled and default and a couple of other small tweaks. Just flash it and see what you think. If you want the old one back, just reinstall the rom. It seems very smooth and battery efficient to me.

Has DZO led backlight mod for battery savings, smoothass and interactiveX, compiled against codesourcery toolchain with arm v7 optimisations and my governor changes. Just did 3630 on Antutu at 1.5ghz with minmax governer.
Thanks to DZO, Stockwell, Ezet, Franco and fjsFerreira for sources and helping me to understand where building was going wrong.
Superb Work Dude. Can You Please Upload This For U8800Pro And Add Some Screenshots Please.
Will add screenshots sometime, but I don't have a pro to test the rom with if I make a rom. Also which rom did you want me to mod for the pro?
Says SD card available - can't access any of my music or files.
Any clues, I've probably just missed something??

Sorry mate, installed over ezets rom and just done a fresh install too, no problems here. Which recovery are you using? Did you wipe cache/dalvic cache and fix permissions after installing?

2866 in antutu on 1ghz. Think that was a little better than original rom. Can't remember.

Got it sorted, did another set of wipes and it seems to be all good.
Looks like an excellent ROM - nice and smooth.
I've just come back from the .35 kernel which was too buggy for me and and loving this.
great stuff, glad you got it sorted.
Do you gonna update this when CM new releases/updates comes, or this is just one time project?
Also you said you did lot of modifications, but did you tested original ezet rom with yours and did you see any effect? Or something that tells you that your rom is somehow better? I'm just asking because of i want to try but if there is really no way of telling the difference than i will pass it to the next time
I will keep it up to date as Ezet updates his rom. I ran Ezet's rom for ages by my standards but I was just taken by the smoothness, battery life and camera of Mossterra's elite rom x1. I have tried to combine the best of both.
I have tested all the mods thus far except battery life as I only installed it two days ago and it all seems positive, faster and smoother. I put it up so if people thought it was ok, they could use it and feed back.
All I can say is give it a try and if you like it, keep it, if not, Ezet's CM 7.2 rom is fantastic still.
All the changes will be overwritten if you install ezet's rom over this one or vice versa. They are compatible without a full wipe, just wipe cache, dalvic cache and fix permissions after installing.
My last tiny little bug - I have disabled haptic feedback (in both Sound & Cyanogen settings), but I still get vibration when clicking any of the 4 menu buttons (back, menu, home, search).
Thoughts??
Disable in x5 settings maybe? im not sure, I normally have the opposite problem of trying to get haptic feedback on.

Which Apps have you removed from CM7?? - having some issues with the default email client - meaning I can't find it, and restoring backups isn't working for me.
heh... sorry, I removed it as I don't use it. Flashable zip now in first post with email.
Well, looks like I cant get init tweaks to stick so this rom is just bravia engine and some build.prop mods until I can figure out why.
OK, well new kernel is up, will be releasing a new rom with this kernel and some more tweaks and superuser updates as soon as I can get it to upload.
Still using and loving this rom - looking forward to the upgrade
Ok, New rom is up. New Kernel, updated superuser, set permissions for bravia engine correctly. Seems to work very well and smoothly for me.

Hello.
Yesterday I tried to compile MiniCM from source, but I did not succeed.
However I compiled a vanilla Cyanogenmod from source (Github), so if someone here is brave and knows what they are doing they can try it. I use a kernel based on Alfsamsungs sources, and CM boots up and works here.
(no wifi cause my custom kernel, had to overwrite with my own modules to get it working)
I have not tested it much but I think MiniCM is a better choice.
NB: No need to post question or bugs, Im not a developer, I only compiled it.

What did u use to compile it ? Linux mint or ubuntu ? And did you try with nAa11 instead of your own compiled kernel ??

I used Ubuntu 10.04, no did not try with other kernels. But the CM is not for alfs kernel (it has an kernel.sin inside the zip file), so my guess is that it also works with other kernels, like nAn11.

Hello I have a Defy MB525 and I'd like to give it an upgrade and since there's no official Android releases above 2.2 I'm thinking about installing CM) which is 4.0 based right? I'd like to know how's the performance? does it become slower or how many bugs are? would you recommended it? thanks in advanced, it looks really good so I'd like to try it!
dear friend, trust me .you'd better use the CM9 latest by quarx's.Now we all taste the JB already
anyway the Quarx's CM series(CM7,CM9.CM10) are very perfect on Defy.
You must to try for it!:good:
for everyday rom, try cm9 by epsylon froyo kernel. I am using it and there's no issue or bug I have encountered (I use my defy as a phone).
What are the major differences between Quarx's and Epsylon ROMS? thanks you both for the info!:good:
there is no difference in both builds, afterall both are ics...
why don't you try both using multiboot and decide yourself.
I will give them a try, both releases can be found on Development section right? any link? thank you!
EDIT: Now that you mention it? how can I use multiboot? could I have stock rom and custom rom?

There is multiboot thread in development section, just go through it and you will find out how.
And yes you can have stock rom as base rom and custom rom as virtual rom as long as you have same kernel for both.( for mb525 its froyo kernel)
Btw the link for multiboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
Thanks! Do you have by any chance the links for CM9 by Quarx and Epsylon? thank you!

NOT RECOMMENDED. The performance you'd get from a ROM installed to your microSD (that's what multiboot does!) is inferior to having installed in the ROM partition of the phone.

Cm9 by epsylon - http://defy-cm.net/
And by quarx - http://quarx2k.ru/
I will skip the installation of MultiBoot for now, but I will try either Quarx's or Epsylon's ROM, thank you!!
