thanks

I did a clean install of CM7 Beta6 again (start all over) and I am sure I installed the google apps zip file (latest, 20110613) and the FixBrightness zip file. And I still don't have the gmail app! This is driving me insane. I rely quite heavily on gmail for work, and the default gmail app for android is really quite convenient to use on the phone for me. Now it is not there....

emm. weird. coz last time i use cm7 b6, my gmail still can use.
wil try it again tonite..
as for now i suggest go this route..

small download.
and work superbly fine

You are suggesting I go with MIUI?

Steps to install the leaked 2.3.4 with MotoBLUR. Be warned, you MUST HAVE the RED LENS to use this ROM

Preparation
1. Firstly, you’re going to need all these files
- Rooted-nandroid-backup + fixed sbf from http://www.multiupload.com/SPZ8SIEC60
- Superoneclick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- Defy ClockworkMod Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
- Latest RSD Lite and Drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585
2. Install the RSD Lite and appropriate drivers into your PC (32-bit or 64-bit)
3. Follow instructions at the Superoneclick thread to root your Defy
4. Follow instructions at the ClockworkMod Recovery thread to install System Recovery into your Defy
5. Launch System Recovery and install Recovery System
6. Perform Recovery Boot (USB debugging MUST BE TURNED OFF in your Defy. It’s located under "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development")
7. Create a nandroid backup of your current system by scrolling to “Backup & Restore” using VOL UP/DOWN key, and POWER button to execute (this is so that you can return revert back to your official ROM for warranty purposes)
8. Reboot normally
9. Extract the rooted nandroid backup + fixed sbf file you downloaded earlier. The filename should be “shadow4.5.1-134rootednandroid.zip”. You should see 2 folders “fixed-sbf” and “nandroid backuo”
10. Copy the “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” folder (not just files, but the whole folder) to your SD card under “\goapkrev\backup”. So you should have “\goapkrev\backup\shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” in your SD card.

Actual Flashing Process
1. Launch System Recovery and perform a Recovery Boot (USB debugging MUST BE TURNED OFF in your DEFY. It’s located under Settings > Applications > Development)
2. At the bootmenu, use the VOL UP/DOWN key to move through the boot menu and perform a full wipe (Wipe DATA/Factory reset & Wipe CACHE Partition)
3. After both wipes are complete, go to “Backup & Restore” > “Restore” > “Advanced Restore” and you should see 2 items. Your earlier backup as well as the folder you put in earlier “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid”.
4. Select “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” and choose “System Only”
5. After the restoration is complete, choose “Reboot System”, and IMMEDIATELY hold down the VOL UP key.
6. This will put you in bootloader mode.
7. Launch RSD Lite on your PC, and connect your DEFY to your PC
8. Let the appropriate driver installations take place
9. Select the fixed sbf file from the “fixed-sbf” folder. The filename should be “shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf” and Flash your DEFY
10. Be aware of the flashing progress. It’s very fast.
11. As soon as you see your device reboot, IMMEDIATELY hold down the VOL DOWN key.
12. This will bring you to stock recovery. Press both VOL UP and VOL DOWN key simultaneously to see the boot menu. Select items with the VOL UP/DOWN key, and POWER button to execute.
13. Perform a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition)
14. After both wipes are complete, hit “reboot system now”
15. Once your device completes the normal boot up process, RSD Lite should show the “PASS” status. Close RSD Lite and unplug your DEFY from your PC.
16. Enjoy!

I like the Gingerbread BLUR. Lots of improvement over Froyo BLUR, and plenty of nice animations as well.

My Defy on CM7 Beta 6, stock 800 MHz is Quadrant Standard score of 1412, and overclocked to 1000 MHz 58 vsel yields a score of 1874.

Boleh lah tu.....

Wat is the main difference btw this n miui? Battle better?

kysham, if still no gmail...download market enabler from the google market, install it and then open it. fake a US provider, TMobile or Verizon, then restart your market. you should be able to download US specific apps then...and Gmail is one of those

Mine on stock speed and stock CM 7 RC0
On 1st &3rd run.. wierd score


Attached thumbnail(s)

All,
managed to update to froyo and root the device..
going to install miui, may i know how to apply the miui hotfix?

yeah miui score higher than cm7

yeah. now thats should settle it..
im on TMobile US now

no need to use marketenabler anymore. google already enable it for us. thats yesterday news.

not too sure what market you're talking about, but my google market without market enabler is unable to search for gmail, unless i fake another provider

ic. alternatively we can install through web browser
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.g...e=search_result

it will install when we login to market..

well, this is certainly a way, although most of the time, i try to install stuffs thru the phone rather than from the web browser. never looked from this perspective. need to install fast web installer to use the feature right?

usually we use pc web browser cus easy to search. later using phone, open market and all apps that we select/install in web browser will be downloaded/installed automatically.

i prefer using the phone cos can see directly what i need
