Don't ask for ETA it's just "close to get working".

you could try clearing dalvic cache and cache...
have you restored any "system" files? that could also cause some problems. if you don't get it running again, i would flash again. Then try to only restore user apps. I think then you will be all right.

thank you
it works now

Quarx has been building ROMs for the Froyo based kernel defys .. you can try the ICS builds of epsylon3 which has been developed for GB kernal based defys. If u have rooted ur mobile then u can try epsylon3 builds instantly or if u want to use Quarx builds then u need to flash Froyo kernal after flashing the ROM...

How can i flash a new kernel. Is there a .zip file for download?

There are two versions of cm9,one with froyo(uses cm7 kernel) and the other with ginger bread(uses cm9kernel).
You can see these threads for the same. The kernel zips are also there to download.

Unable to use ICS 4.0.3

HI all,
Am using Defy MB525
Yesterday I tried to install ICS 4.0.3 Mar 17 build for defy+,I did factory reset and installed from SD card (ICS build,Gapps,Batteryfix),I didn’t flash any kernals like one of our forum member told, But my defy is stucked on boot logo.I tried many times but doesn’t work So again am back to 2.3.7 Version. My kernel version 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8
Why this happened to me?
What is the procedure?

If you dont know what you are doing dont install.ics is still beta its a nightly ..and is improving day by day moreover hwa 2D is still missing without it..cm9 is just a theme like Gb..i would say better stick to stock..or flash quarx defy+ cm7 nnightly..

Sorry, I've only flashed CM9 on my defy+ and I have kernel 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e etc. I't's not exactly the same, so maybe I'm wrong about not flashing the CM9 kernel! I actualy think you have froyo kernel!
EDIT: Yes, you have FROYO kernel! Go ahead and flash the CM9 kernel! Sorry

you must flash the SBF of 2.3

If you don't know what you are talking about, then just DON'T! If he flashes stock sbf 2.3, he will never be able to go back to Froyo. All he needs to do is flash the CM9 GB kernel.

As Auris told never flash 2.3 SBF until you DONT want to downgrade! What you said you did is absolutely fine. Just flash CM9GB kernel and it will work. But anyways I don't understand why would you want to flash the CM9 Defy+ ROm because Defy ROM is likely to be updated sooner and CM officialy support Defy!

My fault! In an other thread he didn't specify all those numbers after 2.6.32.9-gbdd so I thought he had gingerbread kernel and told him to flash the plus builds!

AOKP in my Nexus One

hello xda crew,
I am posting here because despite I joined xda almost 2 years ago, I didnt post too much hehe and i cannot post in devs forums yet (less than 10 posts users cannot)
Ive installed AOKP rom a while ago (v15.5) and I am very happy with it. I am using it as my regular phone.
Now Im just about to install the last version (v20.5). with less bugs, and more functinal things!
thx @zyr3x and Kang Team for this awesome rom, nice job!
if I attain 10 posts without spamin, I will inform you with the issues and all that.
just one question. is it recomendable to do wipe when updatin the rom¿ i mean, i was going to install aokp_v20.5 over aokp_v15.5 without wiping data and/or cache. do I need to do the wipe¿

i havent played with the AOKP rom yet but usually as with all roms, when flashing between versions of the same base, a quick cache+dalvik cache wipe is okay.
no need to full wipe/factory reset UNLESS the dev says otherwise

ok thx. i updated without problems. (wipe cache+delvik cache)
I recommend you to try AOKP rom, the best ics rom for nexus one atm.
before upgrading to ICS i was using CM7 (nightly version) but now i dont regret the change. having ICS in the nexus one is great, and works fine, with only a couple of minor bugs.

You should try Lewa OS and you may change your mind

i am currently use the same AOKP rom latest version i love the way it runs to mate as for lewa os it is not secure when running it in my zte blade we had to modify the run since it sent details and information to the chinese developers be careful of that rom unless the porter for the nexus one version has removed the same functionality found in the zte blade one mate

Hi, can you answer me some cuestions? I hace tried to update my Nexus from GB to ICS or JB. Currently, I have Evervolv JB but got a bit lag. The AOKP Rom has some lag? can you tell me some bugs? Because with the rom I have right now Video Recorder is not working. That happen also in the AOKP Rom?
Thanks in advance

The ICS ROM uses different HBOOT size and JB as well so if you want to use JB you will have to flash HBOOT for JB. Video recording doesn't work in ICS and JB.

Yes, I flash the Hboot for JB that TexasIce gives in his post of Evervolv JB.
So video recording doesn't work in ICS too thanks for the answer
I see in your sign that your using AOKP in your Nexus One. Do you experience some lag? For example, I get lag in Evervolv JB when I use some apps like Whatsapp. Got some of those in AOKP?

I take some build.prop tweak on nightly JB and it works smoother now. Enabling vsync seems the key.

Yes there is some lag with the AOKP ROM that I am using but I can live with it. Planning to upgrade to JB soon because it's much smoother and faster too.

[Q] Defy Jellybean CM10 Help!

*Don't respond with comments saying read this or that...
I have read the guides for moto defy mb525 U.S. tmobile and yet i don't understand a thing. I have a bionic and have rooted/flashed/sbf'd before so I have experience but not with this device. I tried understanding from the wiki and beginners guide yet it didn't help me at all. (I'm dumb)
MY Goal: Jellybean CM10 on my Defy
I am currently on froyo 2.2 and I don't understand how to get CM10
I have an original tmobile u.s. defy (Im pretty sure its green lens)
If someone can provide links I can learn:
What should I SBF to?
What should I use to root?
How do I flash cm9 kernel (I heard its the only way to get the CM10 working on a tmobile mb525)
Once I get a recovery I know how to flash and stuff I just want to be guided until I get to clockwork recovery and have the cm9 kernel flashed.
Please help, don't flame....its what makes this community great

Root it with SuperOneClick 1.9 for Defy! it should be somewhere on xda I dont know where use the search function...
Install 2nd INIT it should add cwm
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

Sorry Sir but its useless to flash CM10(current version) on MB525 coz its being made for MB526(Defy+). Your efforts will be in vein. Why not go for 4.0.4 by Eppy? Latest build is stable as hell!

I read that you can flash CM10 by quark on your green lens defy but of course camera won't work

I got soft reboots. And the current version can't make calls/text.
Go for CM9 its really getting into its groove now

Since you sound new to flashing roms, you shouldn't start off with an alpha rom you have to port, instead, start with an Epsy CM9 or Maniac103 CM7 -- both are stable and a good place to start learning about rom flashing.
***Before you start flashing sbf's, you should read the sbf thread and find an sbf you like that's on the same BL version you're currently on, or if out of warranty, flash a bl6 sbf so you can switch between the GB and Froyo kernels. I'm not going to go into BL versions anymore, but that's one of the most important things you need to learn when flashing Defy roms and sbfs.***
For rooting, I use SuperOneClick 1.9.5. Then just enable non-market apps and install Defy 2nd-Init Recovery, reboot into it, select wipe data\factory reset, then flash cm7 or 9 followed by the appropriate version of gapps. Those steps will soon become second nature, to the point where you can root and flash a custom rom in your sleep.
All the tools and roms can be found by searching the forums. Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of custom roms.

[Q]Daily ROM Updates

THIS THREAD WILL NOT LEAD YOU TO ANY UPDATE OF ANY ROMs....
Hi everyone!...
I wanted to ask which ROM should I install...I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL THREAD ABOUT "STABLE ROM"
but the thing is that they are very old and at present m on CM10 the 26.05.2013 built....also tried CM10.1 of 7.06.2013 built the thing is that CM10.1 is very sluggish (what I felt)...n came back to cm10 26.05...but yesterday when I was using Google Maps it shutdown and when m trying it to boot I'm stuck on the CM logo...
the question is
"DO I GO WITH CM7.2 AS CM9 IS DISCONTINUED TO DEVELOP...AND CM10/10.1 IS NOT THAT STABLE...I CAN NOT AFFORD TO WIPE MY CELL FOR UPDATE/CRASHES SO I NEED A STABLE ROM ON WHICH I CAN STAY, ALSO NEED A GOOD BATTERY PERFORMANCE"...
MY USAGE:
* I USE MY CELL FOR INTERNET SURFING,
* WATCHING YOUTUBE,
* PLAYING GAMES (VERY LESS AND VERY SMALL GAMES NOT LIKE TEMPLE RUN/SUBWAY SURFERS),
* MAPS,
* TWITTER...THATS IT...SO PLZ UPDATE MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ROMs..

Don't worry.. CM10 is stable enough for all that, just don't get 10.1..
CM10 is very good, go for it

CM10/CM10.1 are both extremely stable. To the point where CM10.1 is my main ROM; however the battery life is very bad, I get about 6h with 3G always on, but with 2G only you'd easily get a day

Well Cm10.1 is stable for me. If you only use 2G then it won't be much of a problem since your battery wont drain too fast
