so far my problem is the folder name will change back to "folde" after phone restart. This been solve by using other launcher.

and now, a small issue is sometime when i click the dialer - recent, the contact list and network will restart. it takes few second. other all OK ~

Good morning everyone tongue.gif .. almost good afternoon biggrin.gif

Just flash my Defy to Froyo according this Guide. done by 11am today.


Fyi, my original firmware is Singapore set 2.5.1 and already root before i upgrade it. Also the USB debugging mode is enable.

Please take note before flash, test your phone under bootloader mode with RSD. Make sure it able to detect. ( My vista can't detect but XP pro can. Same laptop with 2 OS)



the original language need to change to english when finish flash, else you might not understand the wording.

no worry, easy to recognized the icon where to change language nod.gif

No camera issue, photo taking & video are function icon_rolleyes.gif

for me .. this rom can view chinese but no chinese input sweat.gif so i have to settle it myself

tested browser with full flash website. exp www.e-brothers.com and also facebook game bejeweled blitz ( a bit lag for this game ).



Thats the report for now. Try on your own risk ya laugh.gif laugh.gif

Will need to flash back to stock and upgrade to official froyo from there. These are just custom froyo based on official build but it is not actually optimized for Defy just yet. Cause the cpu score on quadrant for froyo still very low compared to other phones with official update. Linpack score of 14-15 on froyo is a joke still sad.gif

If you are running on current froyo build with motoblur the performance is almost identical to eclair's. With deblur, it seems to run smoother but not by much. There aren't any significant issues with latest build but it does seems to make the flash led weaker. Other than that, this phone still stood atop all other smartphones in terms of toughness and durability while trying to wow the ladies tongue.gif

by the time of official 2.2 come .. we might jump to 2.3 already laugh.gif

anyone got good 2.2 rom to recommend?

i'm using Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 (by iaio72-xda-developers) for few days.

so far experience 4 times auto restart under different situation ( mostly during heavy task. but sometimes more heavy load also no problem. lol )

I would recommend jboogie3 orange deblur and apply the update.zip. That guy's rom have been heavily deodexed and optimized with around 200mb free ram. For sure won't encounter any restart even will heaps of running apps in the background biggrin.gif
*
alright, downloading the orange deblur now blush.gif

before it done, need to know for my Defy already in 2.2 froyo with system recovery .. can I just extract the downloaded orange deblur under SD card and use the system recovery to wipe data/cache then just restore it ? laugh.gif
