hy .
what is the best sbf to flash if u whant to use CM7.2 or ICS on a Defy ?
Best and reliable is your original stock rom 2.2.2 froyo.
There is a cm 7.2 from today. Two days ago i tried the rom from 01/25.
The camera-picture was inverted and the video-playback was very slow.
Is the hardware acceleration working?
Has the inverted camera been fixed?
Which bugs do i have to expect?
The best rom I've ever used was CM7.2 nightly from 12042011. Everything working perfect and battery record of 2 days and 8 hours. Now I'm using CM9/ICS nightly from 02042012 by Epsylon3, however, there is no camera for red lens (my case), no radio and some other issues. But I'm very happy to use Android 4.0.3 on my Defy.
Cm7.2 plus ice theme for cm7...better than cm9 ATM...performance ..functions & stability
Hi everybody,
unfortunatelly, I can't post anything at development.
I've got a idea for Red lensed Defy's owners. I just don't know will it work or not...
So if CM 7.2 Defy+ has working 720p camera, why just don't try to make similar at ours simple Defy? I think we have to port camera.apk and camera.ko?
Can somebody tell something about that?
Peace,
Hell
From where do you have that 720 recording?
Ou... I thought that Defy+ would have on custom rom 720p recording... So I was wrong...
Sorry about that. Now I'm searching how to port libraries to cyanogenmod. I think that is possible.
I found drivers for our camera, but only for linux, not android.
http://dev.openaos.org/browser/trunk/buildroot/gen7/linux/drivers/media/video/mt9p012.c?rev=223
http://gitorious.org/openmoko-msm-2...64d81c30645/drivers/media/video/msm/mt9p012.c
Maybe it'd be helpful in porting...
1. That are drivers for a sensor, not for the camera
2. Android is Linux
3. We already have camera drivers, so that's not what we need
I've been reading, and re-reading, and re-re-reading, and now that I finally have my nexus one working with wifi-calling again (for international use), I'm willing to give up the wifi calling on the defy and go into a non-stock TMobile ROM. Since I did like the ICS roms on the nexus one, I think I'm going to go with one of the new CM9 ones.
Based on what I read, I think I understand a few things, but also have questions:
1) Kernel - It's the software underneath the ROM. Think device drivers. I would assume that since I'm on the latest TMobile ROM for the Defy, I'm on Froyo. I have a red lens (tested with logcat), so the question is: Is there any benefits to upgrading to the GB kernels? If I don't like the ICS/CM9 kernels, will it allow me to run CM7.2 kernels and be happy?
2) Quarx vs Epsylon ROMs. I see all these bug threads, and separate threads. Etc. Etc. What's the difference between them? And will the question from the kernel allow me to enjoy differences between the two builds? There's just way too few/many threads on these ROMs, and I'm confused with which one has which bugs and which one stands where. There seems to be 2 builds for each person's ROMs, but when you go into their download sections, it's also different dates with different "fixes", with different mirrors carrying different versions. And when I'm trying to figure out which one has bugs that I can live with, the bugs are in one consolidated thread, for every combination of kernel/ROM.
So the question is - Where can I get info on the latest pros/cons of each ROM and which kernel is needed to support it?
Anyways, point is, I'm lost. I'm hoping to push off the purchase of a galaxy nexus. I like the Defy. I like how I can treat it like junk but still work. I wish I can do inductive charging on it, but it is what it is.
Help???
Basically both devs each made 2 seperate builds one for red lense defy and one for green lense. They use different camera modules so they need different support. Seeing as you have red lense you should go with those (defy+ roms).
The defy cm9/gb kernel was taken from the defy+ and is needed for the defy+/red lense roms to work. To try the defy/green lense roms you need the cm7/froyo kernel which is from the regular defy.
Cm7 uses the froyo kernel and you can just reflash the froyo kernel if you want to go back to it.
About quarx and epsylon I think quarx supports the red lense better.
If you use quarxs defy+ roms on a reqular defy then you need to flash a battery fix.

epsylon and quarx has different camera modules so that they can split the work. merging of this build will most probably be done when stable release of cm9 is released. Quarx has a better working camcoder but his last build for green lens was long back. If u have green lense go for epsylon froyo kernel.

Moving to Q&A
Hello, I have a motorola Defy with 2.2 OS, I've been looking on the web some threads where it says that you can install the official 2.3.5 release for Defy+ on your regular Defy, does this work? is there any disadvantage? I'd like to update using an official update, not a modified one, thanks in advanced!
Questions go in the Q&A section
You should look at what kind of lender you have in your device: green lens means that you have to use defy Roms, red lens means that you should use defy + roms.
More on this asking to Google or xda search bar ;-)

There are several disadvantages of flashing a Defy+ stock sbf on a regular Defy and not a single advantage.
1. If you own a green lensed Defy (SOC module) you can kiss your camera "Good bye"
2. People have reported issues with wifi connectivity
3. You can NEVER go back to Froyo again
4. If you are still under warranty, you can kiss it "Good bye" too, as 2.3.5. was built for Defy+, not Defy and your warranty will be void (remember - you can never go back to Froyo)
5. People would kill to be in your shoes and be able to flash and use different custom ROM's, based on both Froyo and GB kernels (downgrade is not an issue with custom ROM's, unlike stock ROM's)
If your defy is a green lens one. I suggest use GGL rom. This based on 2.3.6 GB. And totaly perfect with defy. I use this one. camera working too.You can go back to 2.2 froyo.
1. You should have a rooted defy.
2. You should instal clockworkmod.
