Can I flash the Defy XT or Defy+ ROM on my Green Lens Defy?
Someone link me?
yes you can use Defy+ roms on defy but only if it has 2nd boot.
Eg. MS2Ginger 5, CM10, CM9, Slim Bean, PAC, AOKP, Paranoid, etc.

So, no way to install the stock mb526 2.3.7 ROM?
Actually It's not urgent, as I've upgraded to an xperia Z, but my defy on CM 10 lags very very badly. Almost un-usable. So needed help :/
Don't ever try to install defy+'s stock 2.3.6 on Defy.
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
About SBF and CG version, if you install stock 2.3.6 on defy, you won't be able to revert back to 2.2 again, let alone many problem like camera won't work or battery stats malfunction.
If You want 2.3+ roms, use custom roms like those hackergnome suggested. (MS2Ginger was a modded stock 2.3.6 and can be used on MB525 without problem.)
Yes MS2 Ginger is the best gb rom in terms of stability!

Hi Now am using 2.3.7 version and kernal 2.6.32.9-gb in my defy,
Am planing to install ICS 4.0.3.What kernal should download?
Becoz i already tried Mar 3 build but its stucked many times and getting restarted again so pls tel the correct methods and kernal.GApps.
Can any one help me?
If you have gingerbread kernel you need to install a Defy+ build. If you have a normal defy, I think you need to install batery fix as well. I'll try to find it. Defy+ builds work well with red lense defys, but I don't think camera works for green lense users.
Thanks...so shall I install defy + build...and kernal link available separately....what is the use of those kernal...how. and wat should be install

You already have a kernel. Or else you wouldn't be able to use the phone. You've already told me that you have a gingerbread kernel. So don't bother flashing a new one.
Gapps is on first page for main CM9 thread. Battery fix is somewhere in the thread :-/ Look around page 300

CM9 Kernel gives bootloader error. It's for froyo kernel users only (as far as i've understood)
DON'T flash it! It will soft brick your phone!

I hope all doubts over
CM9 builds,gapps & battery fix is enough to my phone to run ICS.
Have to flash above three things?
Am i right?
Yup, that should be it.

If you mean anything else to install, then no. Does charging work?

That is true. I have a Defy+ and I installed the CM9 kernel. It soft bricked my phone and I had to do a SBF flash, root CWM recovery and all things all over!! Flash the CM9 built for Defy+ by Quarx. It does restarts and freezes ocassionally but is okay otherwise for a beta version!!
I am on the latest cm10 nightly (for defy+) and I am having a problem with battery - typical 1%+red led flashing+no charging. I have serached about 20 threads, but I am still not able to find a solution - all the battery fixes, procedures I have found yet don't work for me. (official cm10 thread, older fixes, etc). Since I accidently flashed sbf with bl7 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013), flashing kernels shown in official CM10 thread is impossible.
I have made my own from stock Rom DFP-231.
Try this one it should work for you too (only for defy+ battery 1700mAh).
For me is working in every rom i have tried (CM7,CM9 CM10, MS2GINGER ......).

Well try to make your own.
Extract the too files from your stock Rom(defy rom not defy+ rom) replace them in the zip provided by me then sign again with apksign or other app. And tada you have your own battery fix.

I installed Epsylon3's "[ICS] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 for the Defy - now with 2ndboot kernels" and i was wondering what kernel should i install:
kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip or kernel-gb-234-451-134-signed.zip?
And another problem: after installing the ICS my battery drains very quickly. What shall i do? Install the "ICS Defy Red Lense Battery fix"?
Try the battery fix. The 2nd boot kernel will be fine otherwise I'd use the gingerbread or defy green froyo kernel.

i will try the fix. what kernel do you have? i'd like to install the GB version, but i don't want to have problems. i read a lot on the forum and i understood that the GB is compatible with my Defy (red lens), but what are the advantages? will it work better?
I'm using GB kernel from fixed sbf and using CM7 (maniac) and it seems a little smoother than froyo kernel. *green soc defy*
Defy red lense is basically a defy+ with a 800MHz clock speed and a smaller battery. The RL defy can use the camera on stock gb builds.

i have a defy + mb526 bl7 (rooted ). i want to install the defy+++ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776161 rom.
bit in the thread it says for red lens version i need to install a gingerbread kernel before installing the defy+++ mod.
my confision is as far as i know the mb526 is a gingerbread device and runs on 2.3.6.
so do i need to install the gingerbread kernel?
i haven't installed any custom roms before so my qstn migjt be a little funny for u guys. please help.
No. Anyhow the latest CM9 ROM uses a 2nd boot kernel.

Hey
Here m in a problem
I had mb525 defy green and by accidentally I flashed it with bl7 then my camera is not working
After this I flashed a rooted bl7 stock ROM and go for cm10 2boot of quarks
My boot loader version is 9
And I want to downgrade it for cm7
When I install cm7 my camera is still dead with this
Anyone help me to get out of this
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
Well, I've never had to learn it but greenbread mod is something to do with it - not sure if it works for BL7 - here
Otherwise you'll have to wait for 2ndboot build of CM7 - now only from Eppy and very experimental
