one more question...shall i go for CM7 beta 6 or shall i wait for next upcoming version?
Thank you

You can flash any Froyo Rom ....I am using Indian Froyo and MIUI Rom and CM7 BETA 6 is good according to everyday use...

I have updated my phone through the motorola software updater (official way)..is it necessary to flash the Nordic SBF or the UK one before installing the CM7 or i can go ahead with the present stock rom..

I know, and that is why I ask about Froyo ROMs..
Well, if you just want a stock looking, fast ROM, then go for AOSP, but if you want more themes, and other mods then go for Utopia.
I'm staying on Utopia.. and I will make MIUI theme for it when I get my phone back..

Works fine for me, try flashing gapps. Download this, put it on the SDCard and flash it using Clockwork Recovery.
Utopia anytime, miroslav_mm is working really hard on it. It's a lot more 'complete' than AOSP

Oops! I completely forgot my signature. As I'm always between ROMs! Thanks for pointing out!!
HAHAHAA
Utopia was my favorite until the RC3 version came out. I had a lot of trouble trying to make Link2SD work (I experimented with different versions of Busybox and finally I got it to recognize the second partition) but today I had another problem with WiFi, which suddenly stopped seeing my WPA2 home network. I had to go back to my previous version, where everything works...
I'm really intrigued about Utopia. I've read that it's fast yet it doesn't eat up battery like other roms. I'm just wondering how do I upgrade to that. I currently have stock eclair and somewhat of a noob when it comes to rom upgrading. Thanks

You could flash a Fastboot ROM vis KDZ. It could be one of the many ways.

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.

Unfortunately, you flashed a Defy+ full SBF, you CANNOT downgrade it..
Try flashing the GB kernel, there's a rare chance it might wrk..

okay sir thanks a lot
Already fixed the battery problem?
You can root using the method from dev section (the bl7 method, use only then). Afterwards instal 2nt Init. Now you can instal custom ROMs again (only the defy+ ones). After that you might also have to flash a battery fix.
But camera will most likely never work for you without a new defy sbf released.

[Q] Whats the best froyo kernel for WIUI v4 2.5.11?

Hey everyone,
I have been searching all over the web for the best kernel but am yet to find one, so i am after your opinions. What do you believe is the best froyo kernel for Wiui v4 (ICS) that has great performance.
Thanks in advance
There is only on Froyo kernal and other is Gingerbread kernal. Almost all ROM threads have froyo kernal links available. Download and flash.

If you want to install CM7 (.32) you need to downgrade to froyo but if you want (.35) you can install it over Aurora.
Sorry but can I ask why to revert back to froyo from Aurora?

That would not work.
Find official froyo
Unzip it and put into your sdcard like /dload/update.app
Close your phone.
Press vol+ vol- and power and keep until update screen.
After the successful froyo downgrade root it.
Copy cwm
Install cm7.
That simple.

I won't downgrade to Froyo, I just wan't to try CM7, and in CM7 install instructions downgrading to Froyo is mentioned, so I tought I will have to downgrade to Froyo and then install Cm7.
Thanks for all answers, will try installing CM7 35 right now.

There are atleast three dev topics in the forum. One from genokolar and if i am not wrong there is a kernel dev for ezet's cm7.2 .32 by Paul*.
But... All of them are onhold or ended dev. And they all have bugs. So. What i am trying to say is if you want bug free cm7 then you should try ezet's .32

Sorry, for late answer...I didn't see any major differences...actualy I was more pleased with aurora, but I always got atleast 2 reboots a day on Aurora, so thah is the reason I tried CM7.
Now I have one more question...How do I get to stock GB now? I changed recovery.img when I was installing CM7, so do I need to change recovery.img to stock, and then "update" with official GB, or can I just directly "update" to official GB without changing recovery.img to stock before?
