Hi! Yesterday i got my Defy and I installed 2.2 update with Motorola Software Updater and I wanted to install a custom rom like MIUI or CM7 but i dont know whats better . So u can tell me please whats better from them? I heard that CM7 has some wifi errors but they can be fixed...
P.S : i have Red Lens and i want to put and 720p mod after...
try cm7 if you want more customized rom
MIUI if you want more display features
for 720: you can search google and the market for camcoder apps that supports 720p
I tried cm7 and it is wonderful
Well i heard that MIUI has better performance rather than CM7 in Quadrant...
Cm7 does not support 720p rec.

Quadrant isnt everything, MIUI have the looks, and maybe less bugs, but even CM7 is very very smooth and fast, am using RC1.5, i have not experienced any of the bugs (wifi/gps/battery), easily customizable as opposed to MIUI.
I've had miui before, but it seemed to be a bit laggy, comparing to my ipod touch's menu. The apple smoothness is just great and I thought I can't get that smoothness on my defy. Then I installed cm7 on my defy and, magically, it runs veery smoothly without any lags. thought Miui was good. Yes, it was, but cm7 is just great!
and screw quadrant, unless you want to be happy with higher numbers

WiFi depends upon your router. CM7 rocks. Green lens defy ZERO issues with cm7

MIUI looks great.
CM7 works really fast.

I've been trying the different roms I've found here and so far the best for me is Waj's MIUI version. Maybe because I'm a newb, but CM7 started looping on FC after I tried to enable 3G only in my Defy.
And the MIUI versions just didn't do it. The only thing I need now is to add a 720p addon for the video.
Can we record 720p from a green lens ??
CM7 is a wonderful ROM
LOVE IT！！！

Some of us do have issues with wifi in CM7. I installed RC 1.5 + nightly and started having issues with the same routers that used to work perfectly in 2.2.
But I would not recommend CM7 any less because of that. Install and see if it affects you, as this seem to be a issue with only a small percentage of us.

Is this a fact? I was blown away by CM7 performance over stock 2.2, but I'm having some wifi issues with CM7. Is MIUI performance also so much better than stock?
Green lens does not support 720p. Only the red lens.
MIUI does have a better performance over stock but they are based off CM7 with added visual enhancements. There are alot of app incompatibilities and constant fc's. I have used MIUI but got annoyed with all the errors. Wifi is fine and they update every Friday but just too many problems for me. I am using CM7 now and I love it. No wifi issues but I haven't tried any nightly's yet either.

i own a green lensed Defy and i've flashed the MS2Ginger with Blur.
Gotta say i loved the interface (bright and bluish) and the text cursor is very usefull (seem like the "rule" in MS Word) and it has nice effects when showing Views and that animation when the screen rotate, just like iOS does.
but i it has a lot of FC, it's pretty laggy sometimes (the maximum free mem i got once was like ~100MB) an its 3D performace is poor.
i'll reflash again and i'll try a CM7. I was considering that JBoogie 3 that is based on CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158238&page=3)
What would you suggest? The thing is that it lacks theme support...
About that, does anyone know where i can find CM7 themes? Is there an overhead for using them? Is there a way to install "animations" (such this screen-rotating one)?
Thanks
(btw: what's the best Caller/Phonebook that syncs pics with FB? is a "caller" interface able to change the, ahm, "answerer" interface?
what about gps with loaded map info?)

Jboogie 3 is good and has a Ginger release but has an issue with no social network syncing. If you are going to go with something based on CM7 go with CM7. It has the theme support with the new Theme Choser and in the market there is a Theme Chowder Themes which has a large list of usable themes. As for the animations, I'm not sure about that.
Facebook app automatically syncs your pics but if you want a new contact book and dialer I would sugjest Phoneface. GPS, definitely CoPilot 8 live. All maps are preloaded so no data needed and completely removes the need for another GPS unit.

Can someone work on a simple basic Android ROM that is not resource hungry, something like the Openfire Rom, with JIT enabled, but, the only problem with that ROM is the camera quality! So can anyone work around that problem?
Just looking for a Senseless Froyo Rom in its most basic form, but with a decent camera!
HewgBalls` Hybrid ROM, CM7
Hybrid is what iam running right now! And i really was dissapointed by CM7, i was on RC1 for a day, wasnt at all satisfied! iam looking for a more simpler ROM, i dont know if what iam saying makes sense! Something like the Vanilla Android, but with a proper functioning camera! In other words, Openfire with Camera!
Just get some 3rd party Camera app in that case. As you probably have seen yourself, development on Openfire is now frozen / on hold
will that 3rd party camera app help in imroving the quality of the camera?

no it won't.
what was wrong with cm7? Maybe you had problems because of the default v4.2 overclock kernel. Most ppl flashed v4.1 and their problems were solved.
The minute i flashed CM7 i flashed the 4.1 Kernel!
Well first of all, the CRT animation stopped working, and there was no 3D effect in the app menu, basicly the two most prominent features of gingerbread, so yea, i decided to resort back to 2.2, and tried Openfire, ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT!! But then tried the camera, and then decided to resort to the Hybrid Rom, which i beleive is amazing as well!

The 3D effect isn't there because CM uses ADW instead of the stock android launcher. If you want the 3d thing get ADW ex, its great.
The CRT animation works for me if i enable and run a2sd cachesd reset.

Can you tell me how to replace ADW with ADW ex? or atleast resort back to the stock launcher?
oh and how to do that a2sd cachesd reset thing?
really need help!
Alright so can anyone help me with the CRT animation problrm on CM7?
It is said that wiping the dalvik cache restores it. This can be found in the Recovery Menu under the Advanced Tab. Not tested personally by me though, since, I can live without it.
BTW, I was under the impression you wanted a simple, fast, non resource hungry ROM, so why is the animation so important to you?
hahaha! Camera was an essential for me, and CM7 seemed pretty unstable with ADW, so i tried it with ADW EX, and its workinf like a charm! No issues so far! And ill try clearing the cache, but ive done it before and it didnt work! :/
Which rom is similar to Openfire?
I've just notice the camera problem..
CM7 is too much raw, and slow for me.. the keyboard it's to small compared to that of Openfire (do you know what is?)

It is designed like that, however, the later versions have the "bigger" keyboard. For an alternative to Openfire, you can look at CM6, but, video recording doesn't work on that.
So cant anyone work on a Vanilla android for the wildfire, with the camera?

i've already used CM6 and 7..
now i'm on the hybrid one and seems good
I've tried the HTC Hybrid V6 but i didn't find the way to disable 3G connections (perhaps its my problem...)
Now I'm testing Leaf r3, very simple, with 162MB free after the flash, so I can download only the application I really use.
The only "problem" found with the Leaf r3 is that i should insert the Apn parameters manually...
Well firstly, i have more knowledge in Sense roms, so i firstly dont know what MIUI even means, but ive seen quite a lot and heard their battery life make sense roms look quite terible.
Anyways, i was looking for a very stable, fast, fully functioning, nice battery life and feel, MIUI rom.. anyone have some suggestions? Getting bored or sense.
Miui 1.12.9 has been pretty stable for me. The only issues i have is the front camera not working (i believe that's the case with all aosp roms) and text messages over 160 characters won't split and send, so u have to break them down manually. Besides that Miui is, in my opinion, the best rom I've tried.

You need to get caught up.
MIUI 2.3.2 is the most stable. There is a 2.3.9, but I haven't tried it yet, nor seen much about it, but 2.3.2 (actual version is 2.3.2_b1 es) is very very stable. No issues at all. None.
You have to do the sense GPS fix (or one of the GPS fixes) before you flash it and if you read my guide, in my signature, you'll get a good walk through on how to flash it, DT A2SD, the kernel (Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.1.0), etc.

What he said. I'm running basically the exact same setup, and it runs flawlessly. There's a lot of theming capabilities, plus it's easy to create your own themes, so it looks great too.
I tried MIUI because I was bored with regular AOSP. I thought about trying Sense but it wasn't my thing so I tried out MIUI. I've ran it almost exclusively for a year now. Swiper's build is great, get the ES version and you get the extended settings mod built in.
Hey Jane, you should try DianXin out. I've been running it for a week now.

I've been wanting to try it, how do you like it? Any noticeable issues?
The ONLY issue is that the only text app that really works is the native, but it's having probs with pics. If you have Go SMS, et al, even turning notifications off in the native, they still come in on the native and on Go SMS... twice, so I just froze Go SMS until I need to d/l a pic. Other than that, it's smooth. Comes with some great native apps and the best battery utility I ever saw. Options everywhere!
been running 2.3.9 for over 24hrs no video camera but i will rock it for a while..

I also recomend you WIUI stable or the latest one. Is fast enough, much more than standard MIUI.
I think
hi,
i you are only crazy about games then go for CM7 and if you want a lot of customizations on your defy and go for MIUI 2.4.13/WIUI latest version for Defy.
Thanks
In my experience, MIUI Pikachu Edition was faster than WIUI GB.
Still, I think the fastest are CM7 KANG's by FuZZ But not a big difference between them and Pikachu.
Rom's For Defy
Im also having defy....
I have used many roms....
Deiffrent roms containt different variety or features.....
In my opinion....
Pikachu Rom - Fastest rom i have ever seen, it has aroma installer, v6 supercharger:victory:

CM9 fast edition - based on ICS 4.04,much stable and fast....(note) - it is for red lens and defy plus only,because in green lense your camera will not work.....It also has Aroma installer......
(link) http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/45682-ics-404-cm9-fast-edition-v50-new-age-1705/
CM 9 Moto Ice Gun - Stable and good....but not so much faster.....
(link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781658
CM 10 - This rom contains Some awesome features.....its really good and my favorite.....But not stable yet......work in progress....There are 2 devs who are developing CM 10 bases rom Epsylon3 And Quarx.....since Epsylon is busy with Galaxy R, you should go for quarx build........
(link) http://www.longren.org/cyanogendefy/
Thank You.....
CM7 is only good for certain games, like Skies of Glory. It's not the fastest ROM.
MIUI and WIUI aren't fast in any way. I don't know what you're talking about.
CM9 is slow, but Moto Ice Gun and Defy+++ are all very fast. They are based off of Quarx's
CM9 builds and have V6 supercharger and kickass kernelizer. I have no idea if Bravia Engine is just
a placebo effect or not.
CM10 is fastest for games, but doesn't mean that all games are compatible with it. Regular performance
isn't that great.
Stock froyo and GB are good for games, surprisingly. try CEE Deblur 3.4.2-179 or 4.5.1-134 DFP 231
FuZZ's CM7 builds are indeed really fast. I'm impressed!
I have done a speed comparison of various ROMs for the Defy and posted in the German Android forums, you guys might be interested int that.
Google for "Benchmark verschiedener ROMs für das Defy", because I am new here I am not allow to post links yet (argh).

He use to do CM9 KANG's, but then stopped as Gingerbread was his choice and his priority and he couldn't keep up maintaining both CM7 and CM9 kangs for both DEFY and DEFY+... He might jump back to that, though... As you might have assumed already, his CM9 KANG's were the fastest CM9 builds at the time, yeah

It seems that you are only talking about gaming performance, so I don't get the point of your question.
Why I said that Pikachu MIUI was the fastest ever for me - no redraws of anything at anytime, instant start of any app, multitasking at its best (music playing in the background, playing a HD game, while switching to messaging and then back to the game without it reloading)... Stuff like that. I was really truly happy with my phone at that time, it looked awesome and worked great. Then ICS and JB showed up and now I just can't live without all those tiny new features :/ I miss Pikachu, nevertheless.
Thank you very much for the info!
The most stable rom and pretty fast out there is MS2Ginger 4.0
It even includes 720p video rec!
Suggesting a good rom for Defy
Most of the best roms have come out of either Epsylon3 or Quarx... so they are the best developers... Apart from their good roms..
If you want GB - WIUI GB (v2.5.27)is the best according to me, great looks, customization, smooth... (based on MIUI) by Wajk
if you want ICS - JIUI4 / WIUI 4 equally good for reasons same as above... by Janeindiran / Wajk... Also try Moto Ice Gun(stopped updates??) / Paranoid Android ICS... by Brajesh Sharma...
if you want JB - I would suggest Paranoid Android... the latest version i guess... I am on version 1.992 downloading the 2.0 version... pretty neat i must say.... by Brajesh Sharma...
Having said that, you will need to explore and find which one suits you the most...
fastest and best looking rom i have ever used on the defy is the white rabbit. based on cm7 kang but it has the go launcher installed by default so it looks very cool and there are loads of free themes available in the market so you can customise it so it is exactly how you want it. it also has a few nice extra apps installed that help with keeping the rom up to date. honestly i have been blown away and have had no force closes or issues. it is also very quick and everything just feels pretty damn snappy with most apps opening in a second or less.
i would avoid cm10. i tried it and is was a lag fest. dont get me wrong it looked great and for a port it is very impressive but it is slow with apps taking an age to open even after i had disabled virtually every app from the hwa settings. bottom line is the defy is old and the hardware was far from high end even when it was released so we cant expect miracles.
anyways that is my experience and others may have found cm10 to be perfectly useable. i didnt though and therefore cant recommend it. try the white rabbit... whats the worst that can happen... you dont like it and have to try something else... so what 5 minutes of your time maybe ten at a push.
Try Mokee last version

Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.
Hello,
I may sound like a noob, but thats only because i didn't play with these roms much so far... so, yes, i am a noob
I managed to upgrade my U8800pro to 4.03 official thanks to some of you.
Now i am looking through the forum and many threads and many many custom roms, but i cant decide which one to go with since all seem to have problems...
So the question is: which rom is the most stable+fastest for U8800pro? It would be also nice if normal features (calls sound ok, network works ok, "notification drawer", gmail, youtube, play store, gps, wifi, tethering (wifi, usb), music playback, if possible radio, if not also ok) are also present and working. I really hope there is such rom out there. I dont mind if it is based on 2.x or 4.x (ok, i prefer 4.x, but if some 2.x is better, i will go with that), as long as it works well.
I also have U8800 and there it is easy choice. Go with Aurora, and everything (well, almost everything) works as intended. I also looked for Aurora mod for U8800pro but the best i could find is a mod for Aurora 4.x, while there is already Aurora 5.x out there.
I will post instructions for upgrading 2.2 to 2.3 to 4.03 later on, since i had problems upgrading myself for future noobs to use.
And thanks in advance

Stock Gingerbread
best ROM
nothing can beat it..
ALL custom ROMs for U8800PRO have one thing or the other that'll leave you unsatisfied..
Stock ICS is bad for gaming.
all JB 4.1 have only secondary mic (the one beside the camera) working.. plus, camera doesn't work properly except in stock/pre-installed camera app.
all JB 4.2 have buggy/broken bluetooth
If you don't play heavy games (even Subway Surfers is HEAVY for this phone ).. then you can stick to official ICS.. just unlock FPS (that "install-recovery.sh" thing) and all Temple Runs will be fine.

I'll have to disagree!
Rittik's CM10 ROM is probably the best choice. It's really fast, no lag, and with RAM Manager Pro and History wiping (long press home button), there is absolutely no problem (provided you disable apps to run at startup with Autostart).
Gaming is as smooth as stock GB, except for the games that are ridiculously heavy.
I hope I helped =)

I disagree with both of you. Our friend needs a stable ROM. So I suggest him to try Gingerbread(2.x.x) custom ROMs like THE STALLION ICS look, CyanogenMod 7.2 and MIUI. Everything works like a charm, no reboots, good RAM managment, a lot of extras(the last two ROMs) and no battery drain.
You can downgrade to Gingerbread by flashing step 2 from an official GB ROM.

The Stallion ICS look has no SRS WOW HD.. no DSP Manager too.
CM7.2 is buggy.. buttons backlight.. and proximity sensor.. Also, Awesome Beats™ does not work on GingerBread.. Beats™ is the only thing that can beat SRS WOW HD... CM7.2's DSP Manager is "just okay"...

Are you saying you prefer official GingerBread than CM7 or MIUI for example?

less deeper bass of DSP Manager is almost acceptable

i have flashed almost all of the roms available for more than a week each (time required to actually see if there are any hidden bugs)
The roms with the least bugs are Kalo and stallion ics.All the others have important issues (for me) thats the reason i didnt stick with them.In general:All ics roms are heavy and laggy,not for games ofcource.All "jb" roms have very serious issues such as awful memory management and awful incall sound,the phone's most important function,broken bluetooths,broken gps,broken wifi,and a lot of smaller bugs.
All miuis have issues,mainly low memory because of the heavy ui.
Cms are almost ok but not quite there.
I didnt want to return to gingerbread after all these beautiful roms but they are just that,beautiful on the outside ugly on the inside!
we have to focus on gb roms,they are the most complete unfortunately,unless a real dev shows up and work on sources

Aurora ics 4.1 with fixed "white screen" is the best rom I think. But it is my IMHO.

What about wrong messages in systemUI ?? example- "Screen timeout set to 15 years"! ... "Screen timeout set to 5 weeks"!
"SDcard is damaged or has unsupported format"
"4G WiFi icon" instead of "USB icon"!
"No signal icon" instead of "GPS icon"..
What about disturbance in calls? You can hear your fingers moving on the phone's back! bcoz main mic isn't working at all!

I never encountered such bugs except the oversensitive mic. But that can be fixed, can't it?

that's true,that's why they are so fast.But i can add some of the missing features with apps.On the other hand i can't fix memory leaks and incall sound with an app or play heavy games..I could use chainfire 3d for boosting performance for games,but guess what,it doesn't work with jb!

yeap,they are all there..!
My favorite ROM still remains CM7.2 modified by bronxitas with forumber kernel. The ROM isn't really on XDA as far as I know but it's based on the Moihack release most likely.

I didn't expect you would say that. I don't think anyone will agree with you.
Stock ROMs lag a lot, have locked fps, are unrooted, less features...
korekore I think you 've tried the MIUI I'm on with right now.
It's fast, it has a lot of useful features, it has the most free memory I ever encountered and minimum battery drain(all night 1-2% loss).
B U T I have installed only 51 applications like every ROM I used in the past. I mention that because you said that problems start to appear after a big number of installed apps(>100).
I think this ROM siuts me better than anyone other and it was a pleasant surprise for me.
I think I gonna stick with it.
Everyone has his own priorities and his own criteria.

I wasn't a MIUI fan but I love this ROM.
I like the feature you can access notification bar from any application even in full screen.

It supports another file. I don't remember the name(something like 99unlock).
Even though I prefer MIUI or CM7 or Kalo's ROM. That's my opinion.

So I recently downgraded to CM7 just because I wanted something more stable than the ICS/JB ROMs I'd been using. First thing I noticed is the horrible image quality throughout the system; stuff like gradients and the overscroll effect look like bad JPEGs.
The only thing I could think of was to enable 16-bit transparency in the CM settings and edit the build.prop to force GPU rendering, but neither of those did anything.
Anyone know what I could do to fix this or do I just need a better ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Understand that the CM roms are run through with a fine tooth comb before they are released ass a stable mod.
Try a diffrent launcher and see if that is still the case .

I definitely understand that. I was running CM10.1 for a while and it was the most stable (albeit unofficial) JB rom I'd had on here so far, so that's why I decided to switch to an official release - and everything's great, aside from the poor quality on gradients.

I noticed it from the beginning on ADW launcher and have since tried out ADW EX, Next Launcher, Smart Launcher, GO Launcher and a few more with no luck.

When i use to run cm7 on thee mytouch 3g there was a surface dithering option maybe that can help tho i did not see the diffrence.Do you have the inferrrior mt4g screen?
try one of thier nightly builds and if that is no diffrent then that is just how cm7 looks.

I've tried with and without surface dithering, still didn't make a difference. I remember looking when I first got this phone and it turned out that I got the good screen, plus I've flashed like 20 different ROMs and the graphics are always great. I actually just downloaded the latest nightly, so I'll give that a try.
Welp, flashing the latest nightly didn't help. I guess I'll just switch to a better ROM -_-
You might have luck by changing dpi.
