I want to change my stock rom to new one. I examine many roms and i decide, there are two stable roms. According to your opinion which one is better?
not sure but in one video on U tube i saw ideos x5 benchmark 2900 score
it had miui rom i guess it is very hard to beat that score
i guess i would try the miui rom
any other opinions very welcome
MIUI has a beautiful UI. Oxygen has a Cyanogen experience. The performance of both ROM seems not too much difference. My choice is MIUI because I like to have a beautiful UI while using it.
I would go forOxygen if I was you. It has the best performance and battery usage. Also screen sensors are the currently faster (at least for my phone) than in any other 2.3.5 rom. So for pure performance go for Oxygen. For eye-candy go for Miui.
Oxygen for me
Oxygen here also
O2! O2!o2!o2!o2!o2!o2!
Oxygen R1 is better

CM7 is the best. MIUI is the most customizeable interface and most sexy.

does our cm7 port support official cm7 themes?
Oxygen, supports cm7' s theme manager themes too.
Just need to take thememanager.apk and themechooser.apk from cm7 rom and push them to /system/app folder. I've tested it and works.

Nice..mind to pack it and share this 2 file only?
Between,do wondering how well Miui vs Oxygen.
any 1 mind to write a review for the latest release comparison?
with/without FrancoKernel
I am using Oxygen r1 currently,since i am a maximum performance cultist.
Really wondering whats is some advantages/disadvantages compare to Oxygen for MIUI?
i switched form oxygen to cm7 a couple of days ago, i must say that i don't see any difference performance wise
My vote goes to MIUI!
I tested oxygen,cm7 and miui my choice is MIUI..! really sexy UI
If you want the UI, go for MIUI, if you want performance and stability, go for oxygen. I prefer oxygen
I'm rocking the OXYGEN R1 rom
tilt sensor is very important for me. Which one has better tilt sensor for games etc?
Just tested the latest Roms available and based on my phone's hardware, I've got this:
- CM7 110821 - Very good battery usage - 55h, relatively good BT, but had some 3G data connection problems, sensor lag after a while.
- Miui 1.8.26 (28/8/11) - Good battery usage - 45h (not as good as O2 or CM7), excellent graphics, relatively good BT, but had some 3G data connection problems, no sensor lag.
- Oxygen 2.2.2 r1 - Very good battery usage - 51h, weak BT, no problems with 3G data connections, no sensor lag.
Overall, Oxygen is the best, in less you really need BT...

Hi! Yesterday i got my Defy and I installed 2.2 update with Motorola Software Updater and I wanted to install a custom rom like MIUI or CM7 but i dont know whats better . So u can tell me please whats better from them? I heard that CM7 has some wifi errors but they can be fixed...
P.S : i have Red Lens and i want to put and 720p mod after...
try cm7 if you want more customized rom
MIUI if you want more display features
for 720: you can search google and the market for camcoder apps that supports 720p
I tried cm7 and it is wonderful
Well i heard that MIUI has better performance rather than CM7 in Quadrant...
Cm7 does not support 720p rec.

Quadrant isnt everything, MIUI have the looks, and maybe less bugs, but even CM7 is very very smooth and fast, am using RC1.5, i have not experienced any of the bugs (wifi/gps/battery), easily customizable as opposed to MIUI.
I've had miui before, but it seemed to be a bit laggy, comparing to my ipod touch's menu. The apple smoothness is just great and I thought I can't get that smoothness on my defy. Then I installed cm7 on my defy and, magically, it runs veery smoothly without any lags. thought Miui was good. Yes, it was, but cm7 is just great!
and screw quadrant, unless you want to be happy with higher numbers

MIUI looks great.
CM7 works really fast.

I've been trying the different roms I've found here and so far the best for me is Waj's MIUI version. Maybe because I'm a newb, but CM7 started looping on FC after I tried to enable 3G only in my Defy.
And the MIUI versions just didn't do it. The only thing I need now is to add a 720p addon for the video.
Can we record 720p from a green lens ??
CM7 is a wonderful ROM
LOVE IT！！！

Some of us do have issues with wifi in CM7. I installed RC 1.5 + nightly and started having issues with the same routers that used to work perfectly in 2.2.
But I would not recommend CM7 any less because of that. Install and see if it affects you, as this seem to be a issue with only a small percentage of us.

Is this a fact? I was blown away by CM7 performance over stock 2.2, but I'm having some wifi issues with CM7. Is MIUI performance also so much better than stock?
Green lens does not support 720p. Only the red lens.
MIUI does have a better performance over stock but they are based off CM7 with added visual enhancements. There are alot of app incompatibilities and constant fc's. I have used MIUI but got annoyed with all the errors. Wifi is fine and they update every Friday but just too many problems for me. I am using CM7 now and I love it. No wifi issues but I haven't tried any nightly's yet either.

i own a green lensed Defy and i've flashed the MS2Ginger with Blur.
Gotta say i loved the interface (bright and bluish) and the text cursor is very usefull (seem like the "rule" in MS Word) and it has nice effects when showing Views and that animation when the screen rotate, just like iOS does.
but i it has a lot of FC, it's pretty laggy sometimes (the maximum free mem i got once was like ~100MB) an its 3D performace is poor.
i'll reflash again and i'll try a CM7. I was considering that JBoogie 3 that is based on CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158238&page=3)
What would you suggest? The thing is that it lacks theme support...
About that, does anyone know where i can find CM7 themes? Is there an overhead for using them? Is there a way to install "animations" (such this screen-rotating one)?
Thanks
(btw: what's the best Caller/Phonebook that syncs pics with FB? is a "caller" interface able to change the, ahm, "answerer" interface?
what about gps with loaded map info?)

Jboogie 3 is good and has a Ginger release but has an issue with no social network syncing. If you are going to go with something based on CM7 go with CM7. It has the theme support with the new Theme Choser and in the market there is a Theme Chowder Themes which has a large list of usable themes. As for the animations, I'm not sure about that.
Facebook app automatically syncs your pics but if you want a new contact book and dialer I would sugjest Phoneface. GPS, definitely CoPilot 8 live. All maps are preloaded so no data needed and completely removes the need for another GPS unit.

actually i have just flash the jboogie3 and, since it's clear, i'll give CM7-pure a try.
but i gotta say it's really fast!

[Q] Want to Upgrade Cm7.1 - Cm7.2 Rc2 or MIUI or Cm9
I jst want to Upgrade mY Defy RED Lens from cm7.1 Rc1 to a better version ..
having some network problem in last two weeks ...
I thought to try
cm9 - but its still on development
cm7.2 Rc2 - but read some battery drain problem in XDA
cm7.1 stable - Ya its ok as its on cm Official site .
or miui with 2.3.7 - I jst wanna try how it exceeds
My needs are
Good bettery life - im getting 3-4 days on average use . no 3g or wifi . jst calls and sometimes mp3.
Game support - i like to run nfs shift always when im free, or some funny games. no need of any HD games
So friends can u please suggest which ROM shuld i choose ...
I Dnt wanna flash my phone repeatedly to test the ROMS .. Always prefer to hear what others says and will try and choose myself ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Ok I Installed MIUI 2.4
I am running the lastest CM7.2 but quartx and cant fault it yet. I have run the v6 supercharger script and it seems really good. I got rid of the ADW launcher and put on GO only for looks but I think GO seems a bit slower, I ,might have to try ADW again but try different themes.
I use 3G and get about 3 days out of it but usually about 1 hr of calls in there in a day so that would drain it, But dont play many games maybe 5 mins a day if that. I find it really good but as I upgraded to 2.3.6 I am stuck with a few ROMS and this is the best so far.
Installed MiUI 2.4...
thanks Kelly ...
I jst installed MIUI 2.4 ....
a data wipe and complete reinstall of MIUI and reboot took a total time of 5 Min..
Awesome ...
Ya Its Looks is Simply Superb and im tweaking things ...
Bt I Miss a APP Drawer in it by default . first thought its a bug...
They all say to use a Alternative launcher if App Drawer is need...
Yea you can try another launcher from the market. Miui is nice as it gives that iPhone look. Try v6 supercharger to. Big difference!!!
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
I think MS2Ginger is the best option for you. No battery drains, good battery life, good game support, stable, etc. I use CM7.2 nightly for defy+ on my red lens by Quarx. Is so good, smooth, stable, good battery life

thanks guys . r8 now im checking the MIUI ..
One things i want to mention is its has everything i want by default & an awesome UI. so i dont need to install separate apps..
Like Music Player with folder listing,
Stock Sms with password Lock,
File Browser with all options and fast loading image browser,
Data Traffic monitor and firewall.

Questions go in the Q&A section
what ROM is the fastest and stable in games for my defy?
Cm7? Miui? wich version?
my defy: 1Ghz chipset + RED lens camera + 1530mah battery = they changed my chipset and camera at warranty...
I found MIUI a bit slower than CM7...
CM7 is for sure the fastest and most stable... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
you can try the WhiteRabbit build as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510063

I also recomend you WIUI stable or the latest one. Is fast enough, much more than standard MIUI.
I think
hi,
i you are only crazy about games then go for CM7 and if you want a lot of customizations on your defy and go for MIUI 2.4.13/WIUI latest version for Defy.
Thanks
In my experience, MIUI Pikachu Edition was faster than WIUI GB.
Still, I think the fastest are CM7 KANG's by FuZZ But not a big difference between them and Pikachu.
Rom's For Defy
Im also having defy....
I have used many roms....
Deiffrent roms containt different variety or features.....
In my opinion....
Pikachu Rom - Fastest rom i have ever seen, it has aroma installer, v6 supercharger:victory:
(link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498843
CM9 fast edition - based on ICS 4.04,much stable and fast....(note) - it is for red lens and defy plus only,because in green lense your camera will not work.....It also has Aroma installer......
(link) http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/45682-ics-404-cm9-fast-edition-v50-new-age-1705/
CM 9 Moto Ice Gun - Stable and good....but not so much faster.....
(link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781658
CM 10 - This rom contains Some awesome features.....its really good and my favorite.....But not stable yet......work in progress....There are 2 devs who are developing CM 10 bases rom Epsylon3 And Quarx.....since Epsylon is busy with Galaxy R, you should go for quarx build........
(link) http://www.longren.org/cyanogendefy/
Thank You.....
CM7 is only good for certain games, like Skies of Glory. It's not the fastest ROM.
MIUI and WIUI aren't fast in any way. I don't know what you're talking about.
CM9 is slow, but Moto Ice Gun and Defy+++ are all very fast. They are based off of Quarx's
CM9 builds and have V6 supercharger and kickass kernelizer. I have no idea if Bravia Engine is just
a placebo effect or not.
CM10 is fastest for games, but doesn't mean that all games are compatible with it. Regular performance
isn't that great.
Stock froyo and GB are good for games, surprisingly. try CEE Deblur 3.4.2-179 or 4.5.1-134 DFP 231
FuZZ's CM7 builds are indeed really fast. I'm impressed!
I have done a speed comparison of various ROMs for the Defy and posted in the German Android forums, you guys might be interested int that.
Google for "Benchmark verschiedener ROMs für das Defy", because I am new here I am not allow to post links yet (argh).

Does Fuzz do any CM9/10 builds? I'm new to the device so I don't know all of the devs yet. His CM7 isreally good and I wonder if he has recent newer builds to try.

He use to do CM9 KANG's, but then stopped as Gingerbread was his choice and his priority and he couldn't keep up maintaining both CM7 and CM9 kangs for both DEFY and DEFY+... He might jump back to that, though... As you might have assumed already, his CM9 KANG's were the fastest CM9 builds at the time, yeah

It seems that you are only talking about gaming performance, so I don't get the point of your question.
Why I said that Pikachu MIUI was the fastest ever for me - no redraws of anything at anytime, instant start of any app, multitasking at its best (music playing in the background, playing a HD game, while switching to messaging and then back to the game without it reloading)... Stuff like that. I was really truly happy with my phone at that time, it looked awesome and worked great. Then ICS and JB showed up and now I just can't live without all those tiny new features :/ I miss Pikachu, nevertheless.
Thank you very much for the info!
The most stable rom and pretty fast out there is MS2Ginger 4.0
It even includes 720p video rec!
Suggesting a good rom for Defy
Most of the best roms have come out of either Epsylon3 or Quarx... so they are the best developers... Apart from their good roms..
If you want GB - WIUI GB (v2.5.27)is the best according to me, great looks, customization, smooth... (based on MIUI) by Wajk
if you want ICS - JIUI4 / WIUI 4 equally good for reasons same as above... by Janeindiran / Wajk... Also try Moto Ice Gun(stopped updates??) / Paranoid Android ICS... by Brajesh Sharma...
if you want JB - I would suggest Paranoid Android... the latest version i guess... I am on version 1.992 downloading the 2.0 version... pretty neat i must say.... by Brajesh Sharma...
Having said that, you will need to explore and find which one suits you the most...
fastest and best looking rom i have ever used on the defy is the white rabbit. based on cm7 kang but it has the go launcher installed by default so it looks very cool and there are loads of free themes available in the market so you can customise it so it is exactly how you want it. it also has a few nice extra apps installed that help with keeping the rom up to date. honestly i have been blown away and have had no force closes or issues. it is also very quick and everything just feels pretty damn snappy with most apps opening in a second or less.
i would avoid cm10. i tried it and is was a lag fest. dont get me wrong it looked great and for a port it is very impressive but it is slow with apps taking an age to open even after i had disabled virtually every app from the hwa settings. bottom line is the defy is old and the hardware was far from high end even when it was released so we cant expect miracles.
anyways that is my experience and others may have found cm10 to be perfectly useable. i didnt though and therefore cant recommend it. try the white rabbit... whats the worst that can happen... you dont like it and have to try something else... so what 5 minutes of your time maybe ten at a push.
Try Mokee last version

and is pretty fast and stable, everything works fine.
but i will try some of roms posted here and give my feedback
Thanks, I'm going to try out white rabbit.
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.
Hi there, I'm new to the defy+ scene (not the android scene though) and after browsing for a while through the defy android development section I couldn't really tell which are the main-most popular custom roms for the DEFY+ (plus) ICS or JB versions (no GB) also AOKP/AOSP.
I'm looking for a rom that is very stable smooth (not necessarily the most powerful-fastest) and has good battery life.
Could anyone please help me out listing the pro & cons of the most popular custom rom for defy+ (like MS2Ginger, MIUI, CM9, aokp aosp..this list is by no means complete, so in case i'm missing some others, please let me know) thank you very much and sorry for the noobish request :silly:

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. Nowt that thread has been moved, could please answer my question?
This question has been asked so many times :silly:
Just take your time and search this forum. For example look here
I'm using myself this ROM. Different people, different wishes
My advice: download and try some of these ROMs and if you don't like it, try another one
in first place, a topic like this sounds like fishing for me...:cyclops:
mate, try miui v4 by stefan brown.
i've tryed many others roms before, and for sure this is the most stable, fast and trustable one so far.
i've tryed CMX for a while, but it lags a lot and still got random reboots.
Thanks guys for the suggestions, and what about CM9 ICS for defy+?
If you want speed,good battery life and true android experience ,you must try [CM10] Jelly Bean Cannon v8.1.1 .
And if you like MIUI style , there is Moto Ice Gun Edition V2.02 (CM10). But its not updated frequently ..thats the only disappointment
Then there is [ICS] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 by Epsylon3 ..which is being reported by its users as most stable ics rom ..although i have never used it :silly:
But as far as my experience goes,the most logical thing right now is to stick with CM7.2 because cm9 and cm10 uses a lot of RAM , and no matter how much you tweak it , it will be the same (laggy,low battery life,slow app switching rate).
And the most stable and performance based rom according to me is [CM7] WhiteRabbitNextGen Edition 2.1.1..i myself am using it right now...its best for games which tend to lag a lot in cm9/10...temple run2 plays without any lag...and we can switch app to app instantly...try it and u'll never turn to any other rom
