I am currently trying to get full battery of my defy+ to work under MIUI. Being CM based i assumed it would work with the CM battery patch. It doesn't however. I know which files need to be replaced, would it be a good idea to just grab the files from the CM9 defy+ build and replace them?
For those that are interested doesn't work = battery only showing full with question mark icon.
Having same problem and seems there is total silence in all forums concerning this issue. If you manage to solve it please let me know !
Hey, guys I'm using MIUI Pikachu Edition by einsteinno1 and it has full DEFY+ support (battery charges up to 100%)
It's overall an awesome ROM, after trying CM7.2, latest WIUI and MS2G v3, Pikachu is the best one for me.
My DEFY+ was on 2.3.5, so I flashed it down to Froyo before flashing Pikachu
Cheers!
I have the same Defy 2.3.5 but I don't know how to install a diffrent ROM/interface ...

Search this wonderful Forum - There are many threads telling you how to install a new ROM / interface
Well then I will definitely give Miui Pikachu edition a try As far as I understand Froyo version is the best to use to flash Miui right ?
Hi all,
About the Defy+ battery. This battery is only support by GB kernel. So nevermind the patch you applied, you'll always have a bad result. This patch works on CM 7.2 Defy + because this rom doesn't incluse the kernel and use the GB one of your phone.
So the only solution is what nisky+ said... Flash before the 2.3.6 SBF on the dev forum who allow you to flash a Froyo kernel first...

Froyo is the safest way, yes, and it will work without problems. It should work when flashed over 2.3.4, too, but I haven't tried that, myself.
@mdt24 Then how come I don't have battery problems now when Froyo's kernel is used
P.S. It's niksy, not nisky
Hi niksy ;-)
It's because I think this rom doesn't incluse kernel, so you always run a 2.3.4 GB Kernel...
quote from Miui Pikachu edition : IMPORANT!!! this Rom works only on Defy or Defy+ with Froyo Kernel or Gingerbread 2.3.4/5 Kernel. All with 2.3.6 Kernel have to downgrade to Froyo Kernel, because the new Motorola Kernel won't work with MIUI. Just use this Tutorial on XDA Developers
But I could be wrong in my deduction, so Please, can you give us the number of the kernel you have with this pikachu rom ?...
What I did before was downgrade from 2.3.6 using the sbf the dev provided that allows you to downgrade to froyo then I flashed Miui official rom and still had problems with battery. Kernel version currently is : 2.6.32.9gb08c3c8 if that makes any sense to you cause I personally just don't know anything bout kernels... I just downloaded pikachu Miui and will give a try soon and share the results with you
Hey all, thanks for the replies. I already know about the limitations of the patch and which versions the driver works with. That is why i flashed the 2.3.4 kernel before using MIUI and therefore the defy + patch. I just don't get why it doesn't work, do i need to use a defy+ kernel?
I will grab the files used in the working MIUI Defy+ rom and package them as a flashable .zip for other users.

Mate, you are right about the ROM, it doesn't include any kernel, but I said that I flashed that special version 6 Froyo (that's a full sbf) before flashing Pikachu!

The kernel you mentionned is a froyo kernel...
As you all I try to understand why it's possible that the defy+'s battery works or not with the patch. It's sure it works with a 2.3.6 GB kernel and a patch for the system (battd, lib) used by the rom if the new rom doesn't include a kernel.
It seems that if the rom include a froyo kernel the patch doesn't work...
So... may be a way to understand

Yes but I'm pretty sure than this special version has a GB kernel. It's just the bootloader who accept all kind of kernel...
Check your Kernel number, I think you must have something like this 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e...
Ok after some testing I can tell you that the battery charged to 100% only the first time I booted.Since then it has only charged till 90%. I also did calibrate the battery the first time I flashed the Rom but no results

It's 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 - the one you said it's Froyo Just checked!
And for the battery... First time it charged to 100%, this time it stuck at 90%. Quite weird... But, that is with Froyo kernel, as we've come to conclude.
But, on the other hand, my bro's got a DEFY+, too, with CM7.2 on it and with Gingerbread kernel (27th January DEFY+ nightly) and the battery goes to 100% every time. I will test Pikachu on a Gingerbread kernel, cause I can't really live with this bug :-/ Will let you know how it went, now I'm off to find a 2.3.4 sbf!
I had the same idea and have already downloaded a full 2.3.4 GB sbf to check just that !
i wish a 2.3.4 GB kernel can fix that, although I think the only kernel able to fix this is 2.3.5 and above
Hi.. I m new to android... I just want to ask how can I add music contol to notification toogle bar like that in cm mod..... I m using pikachu edition on my defy plus and its really great ... I haven't faced any problem till now.. thank u dev for such a beautiful rom...

Thanks for ur Info.. tried to install Pikachu edition on my Defy+ 2.3.6 nd failed. But now using CM10..
I own a Defy+ with Android 2.3.4 (4.5.1-134_DFP-89) branded by Vodafone-Italy.
I would like to run a CM7 ROM without flashing kernel as I read that flashing kernel 2.3.6 is a one way operation and no downgrade is possible.
I read in other thread that this WhiteRabbit ROM which is flashable but uses GO Launcher that I do not like.
Are there other CM7 ROMs working with Defy+ and with less customization (CM7 "pure" would be great but I think epsilon3 ROMs are 2.3.6 kernel only)?
Thanks and sorry for being noob
defy+ cm7.2 nightlies for 2.3.4

p.s. a lot of different roms can be tried without having to upgrade SBF and blow those damned efuses.. do some reading around here on fixed SBFs and nandroid backups and you will understand more
Thanks for suggestions. I already have CWR and Snd Init. I will try CM in the weekend.
EDIT: writing from CM72, I could not resist. At a quick look... it is another phone
Some occasional app crash, but works great.

A little update and a big thanks.
Everything works fine here on CM 7.2.
The difference in fastness of CM is impressive, camera works and battery charges to 100%. It seems CM consumes a bit more battery but it worthes it.
The only feature which is significantly worse than the original are the vocal commands which does not understand italian at all, but the applications itself is ok.
I will investigate on that.
Does anybody know if CM 7.2 (whenever it will be out) will OFFICIALLY support Defy+?
I could not find anything neither here nor on CM forums.
Stock - Cyanogenmod 7.2
yes from what i understand the CM7.2 Nigtlies will become official when once they are stable Epsylon/Quarx (and maniac103 ?) are working as part of official CM team..
hi guys!
i have a annoying issue with this nightly version(cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). my wifi shot dawn after ~20 min, when im not using my phone (i dont switch on the screen) its a bug or thers a setting for solve that problem?
thanks!
ps: sry for my english, im kinda bigginer

It works fine if I start from 2.3.6? I've got me too the MB526 form Vodafone (si sono italiano pure io ).
What do you think about this room after 2 days? Yes, it's not a long time...but...i cloud not resist me too!!!!!!!
I don't know coming from 2.3.6, but coming from 2.3.4 I was really impressed.
PROs:
- phone is much more responsive
- switching wifi and silent mode on/off very fast and no need to confirm which wlan each time
- I got rid of Motoblur (common inbox is awful)
- audio volume increased
VSs:
- some occasional app crash
- camera works but the impression is a little less quality
- original vocal commands worked much better
From what I understood 2.3.6 should be ok as you don't flash kernel, but backup backup and backup again!
@lord: if the phone is idle why you need wifi? I would not notice that, but I will take a look.

Hi your posts were very helpfull to me, cause you have the same phone and build as I do. However, installing a CM7.2 on my Defy+ is still unsuccesfull.. As you said, I did not install a different SBF, but root my phone, install 2ndinit an made a nandroid backup (which I am now restoring after a failed ROM load )
I follow the steps in the topic you gave, but the problem is that my 2ndinit (CMW) says: "E:/Can't open /tmp/recovery.log" when I load the zip file from my SD card (after wiping cache and data). Pretty annoying. I tried now with "cm72.120127.0846-Nightly-Defy+" and a non Defy+ and more recent one: "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip"
Have been googling the error message, but most people say it happens when the wrong CM is used (not for Defy+) but I am doing that right..
Which version of CWM did you install?
After you install 2nd init for defy and open the app there are two options:
Stable recovery
Latest recovery.
I think you installed the stable recovery. If yes, now try installing the Latest recovery and install CM7. If no may be we will have to figure out something else!
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu
I have white rabbit 1.3 right now and it came with a bunch of cool customizing installation options though aroma, including ICS style which runs ADW instead of GO, much cleaner/faster, also my battery life is awesome. or you could download CM7 Barebones Jordan and build your own. I'm pretty sure I found both ROMs somewhere in these pages.

[Q] hello sir,
Do own Defy+2.3.6 (ryt now using MS2Ginger 3 by walter79 ), want to use CM9/ICS, downloaded zip CM9-NIGHTLY-120112-Defy+.zip & CM9 kernel. kindly suggest proper installation procedure and info abt the ics gapps versions which one to use. i dont want to use other kernal rather than 2.3.6 can i flash CM9 on stock rom
waiting for ur humble replies ☻thanks in advance☻
God bless you All.
Why don't you want to use the Froyo kernel? I wouldn't use this nightly. You can't even phone with it! If you have BL6, flash the BL6-SBF with Froyo-kernel.
Don't use the flashlight until you flashed the CM7-kernel, you could burn it with the Chinese kernel of this SBF.
Then root the phone with the latest SuperOneClick and (after backup) follow my instructions here. Use the latest CM9-zip, ICS-Google-apps and the CM7-kernel(NOT the CM9-kernel) instead of the zips in that post. If you want to have the Motorola-Bootlogo back, also flash the attached Red_M_Logo.zip, or use my CM9-Bootlogo.zip. Flash the CM9-Music.zip if you want to use the new CM9 music app (it's very good, i can recommend it).
If you have BL7, i would wait until eppy makes a build for the Defy+ kernel.
thanks for your replies,
please let me know checking battery version ( bl5,bl6,bl7 ),my defy mfg. date is dec 2011 , details on battery HF5X, b052r984-1001, model L-L-L- DC111109.
and CM9 GB kernel is available so why not to use it, hope u clear my mind.

I mean which build are you using with Defy+ ?
i am using stock 2.3.6 and i tried
stock/cm 7.2 nightly.
stock/ics latest builds
works well but no network on second booted rom doesnt get any network ( no EMIE )

Did you try using basebandswitcher? Just to search for a frequency similar to your stock baseband? I think you did because default ms2ginger baseband definitely isn't what you seem to be running on stock 2.3.6...
Oh, and btdubs I think Mister Ypsilon is right about using froyo kernel builds for CM9. Your nightly doesn't seem to be too stable.
*EDIT
Oh and veeranna don't forget, BL version (BL5/6/7) is not your battery version. It's the version of the bootloader, and it is very important when it comes to downgradeability.
search it up, I don't do a very good job of explaining bootloader stuff.
Its awesome but lil buggy
I did it! Installed Froyo SBF, rooted, 2nd init, then CM9 for Defy, CM7 kernel, slept at 5A.M :O and bingo there was a pretty stable ICS but without camera! After playing around with it for few hours.. Tested NFS Shift, Angry Birds and everything was smooth as butter except that there was no Camera due to which I restored it back using a full SBF flash and my Nandroid backup
Can be used if you don't need a camera..!
I have a Defy+ flashed with stock 2.3.6 SBF en.asia
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20097916&postcount=3
Check this it is working fine. Tested on my moto after a full fresh Defy+ 2.3.6 SBF flash.
There are more stable roms built by quarx and epsylon3 in the defy development thread. Camera works and camcorder works for some users. These devs are geniuses.

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.

Hi,
I have a defy and recently i have flashed an Asian Defy+ sbf on my defy.
I have rooted it and installed the Defy 2ndInit...and then afterwards i tried to install the MIUI 2.4.13 GB stable version on it.
But the installation was not successful. I got an error at the boot loader screen....something like (Err: A5,70,00,00).
Can anyone guide me how can i install MIUI on my defy again. I have attached the screenshot of the kernel details here.
I know there could be some problem with the BL it dont exactly understand it....
Thanks....
You have a GB kernel and the ROM you are flashing is based on froyo kernel.

miui is based on the CM7 kernel for defy. The froyo kernel. There is no chance to get miui work on the defy+ GB kernel.
so if you weren't able to flash a froyo sbf (downgrade), you might use cm10.
