using Frings cos can add other IM clients as well as video call within Frings friends. Skype limited, although would be great to have skype since company uses Skype.

already rooted and playing tricks, but problem with playing trick is that you wanna play the best tricks, and getting 2.2 running on it seems to be the best. fast and saves battery!!

Added on March 3, 2011, 12:36 amthe latest update of GO SMS screwed up a lot of stuffs. too bad i didn't manage to back it up with Titanium before i updated it. had to uninstall it, and now moved back to Handcent. Looks like unless Handcent screws up, i'm not going back to GO SMS

i think it's just those apps from those developers. there took the apps and added the malware in there and uploads it back. so, if you have the apps, but not from those said developers, i guess it's all right. still, i think need to install the fix

haha, hope is upgrade and not bricking!!

If you've rooted it you can backup with titanium backup. If not, not sure if there's any other way of backing up your apps

means need to install again one by one? so far, my phone running pretty smooth, but battery life still one day only...trying to increase it further, and thought froyo might help. setvsel at 300/20, 600/32, 1000/54 and running juicedefender as well. not much improvement in my opinion but much smoother operation due to overclock i guess


Added on March 4, 2011, 11:11 pmYea you two should do it. Meet each other at rainbow's end tongue.gif

This is a safe step-by-step to upgrade your phone to froyo 2.2 and still able to downgrade to your current stock rom. This guide assumed that you are running on 2.5.1 based firmware.

Things need to be downloaded beforehand

1. Download USB Driver Motorola HERE
2. Download RSD Lite HERE
3. Download system recovery HERE
4. Download SuperOneclick from previous spoiler
5. Download Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 (by iaio72-xda-developers) do HERE
6. Download TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree HERE

From Éclair to Froyo

1. Install RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola
2. Root your Defy with SuperOneClick (guide can be found on previous spoiler)
3. Install System Recovery apk file. Open the app and click Install System Recovery ( place System Recovery apk file in your SD Card)
4. Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one)
5. Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery
6. Navigate to backup/restore. Do a Backup for your current stock rom (navigate using volume up/down and press Power Button to enter)
7. Wipe data and wipe dalvik cache (in Advanced Options)  in the recovery mode
8. Restore Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117
9. Click reboot and right after that press and hold down volumn up button and you should be in boot mode
10. Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it.
11. It will take a while to flash
12. When everything is done get into the clockwork mod recovery again and wipe data and dalvik cache
13. Reboot for the last time and you are currently running Froyo 2.2. Cheers!
lingch, add a few lines in there that might be helpful. I was struggling last night and google a lot. You might want to add it to the front page for noobies like me.
