I went to the official site and download the tool for upgrade. Boy did that take me the whole night! But I'm on Froyo now! smile.gif


Added on July 8, 2011, 12:49 pmHey great people of Defy World.

I just updated my 2.1 Eclair to the Froyo 2.2 via the Motorola Website for software updates.

I can't help but noticed my ROM is used up to the point of having 21 MB out of 340 MB. Is this normal. Should I just accept this as the way of life?

Or does this have anything to do with aps installed? Any ways I can save the space some more?

Cheers.
*
wat u mean free 21MB?
never heard before..
im after tons of apps still free 8xxMB

FYI I did Wipe Data and Cache

Strange still the same.

System ROM: 340 MB (21.0 MB Free)
Internal        : 1.22 GB (1.13 GB Free)

Froyo using up that much?  sad.gif
*
lol.. never use froyo more than 1 day.
btw that must be Motoblur® bloatware inside..

OK let me get this correct. I currently already installed a stock SEA Froyo ROM. So no need to instal the Nordic ones?

All I need to do now is to reboot into 2nd Init Recovery Installer, Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset", Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "MIUI.us_umts_jordan_1.7.8_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip" ?

then reboot?
*
thats sound correct and no need Nordic.
Stock SEA is fine.
just ROOT (if u not yet), install 2nd init.
then just reboot and enter 2nd init custom recovery, wipe all..
install from SDCard.. reboot.
done.

must add manually.
just go into network and wireless setting
mobile network setting
access point name.
press menu
add new APN
and manually key in setting as in 1st page
press menu
save

should be working now.
try rebooting if not working and
make sure data is enabled

try using swiftkey beta and i think it's really much nicer than swype. problem with swype is you end up selecting a lot of words if you use a lot of rojak. not sure about swype 3.0 though.
*
yeah. but kinda dislike the latest SwiftKey la.
the old one is nice..
and i cant seem to install Swype 3.0
always got license error.
even on fresh ROM without any Swype installed
