I notice Angry birds season(Christmas) is a bit laggy even after overclock. Maybe because of the snow effect.

Very unlikely unless we get official froyo release which will be sometime in Q2 this year. Just flash your defy to custom froyo tongue.gif I'm on us t-mobile froyo now and its the fastest rom so far biggrin.gif

hmm.gif this will void the warranty right?
rclxms.gif going to wait for Android V2.2 update

Can Defy root with this method?

QUOTE(41LY45 @ Feb 3 2011, 01:04 AM)
Rooting using SuperOneClick

You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
