[Q] Installing Android 4 on Defy (Bayer Cam)

Hi,
I recently bought a refurb Defy and was trying to install android 4 on it. I have gone through the forum but i am confused what to do.
I have rooted my phone using Superoneclick. I have installed ROM Manager from app store. But now i am stuck.I am reading posts but i am getting confused as to what to do.
The following are the defy details
Cam -Bayer
Android Version 2.2.2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4
BuildNumber JOREM_U3.4.2_177-3
Can anybody please help me simple steps as to how to install android 4

Follow a guide on how to instal CM7 but replace the zip file with the one from a CM9 build (for the defy, not the defy+)

TO CLEAR YOUR CONFUSIONS ABOUT GB KERNEL ICS AND FROYO KERNEL ICS
I have seen lot of confused user out there asking about which kernel to flash and stuff... So here u go read below...
So our beloved Awsome Developers make two types of nightlies
1-For DefyPlus(Can Also be used on Defy(RedLens))
These are the GB/CM9 kernel builds
These are found under /cm9-nightly-defy+/ folder of the servers which we have
To install these you need to follow the TuT to install ICS Defy Plus Above...
Green Lens Camera Wont work on these(Correct me if I and wrong)
2-For Regular Defy(Do not work on Defy plus)
These are Froyo/CM7 kernel Builds
These are found under /CM9-Nightly-Defy/ folder of the servers which we have.
To install these follow the TuT to install CM9 ICS FOR Defy stated above
3-Well there is no 3rd build(There is The MileStone2 Port by Walter79,But now that we have camera on our builds that one is not usefull...)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically, as labsin said, you can follow the same steps of CM7 flashing guide, but changing the build with an CM9 one and adding the correct kernel. In your case, you can choose which kernel to use, because Bayer Defy is compatible with both Froyo and Gingerbread kernels.

you are on froyo kernel
so you can flash epsylon's defy build

[Q] question on updating my defy

hey guys. I've been out of the defy scene for awhile and the last version I have for this phone is 2.3.4 Gingerbread with a cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC1 jordan mod. I want to update to the newest CM available. I'm looking at quarx's CM10 4.3 Jellybean and wanted to know if I can install this on my defy without any troubles by just using the custom recovery method. Thanks
