well, as long as it works, anything goes...you'll be amazed with how good CM7 is. for me, i resisted a long time not rooting and not flashing to froyo, so i used eclair for like 1.5months, and when i rooted and flashed to liquidarc, it's a huge step in terms of smoothness and speed, and used it probably a month before going to CM7 beta 2.
i can easily say, CM7, despite all the problems and issues, is good enough for me, cos it's fast, great battery life and great 3d support.
so, i say to those new users of DEFY, use the damn eclair for a month, then upgrade to CM7...then after all the bitter, comes the sweet, and the sweet becomes sweeter!!
Added on May 15, 2011, 3:34 pmbtw, drop a couple of bucks to Quarx if you can afford it. USD1-5 aint a lot, and you can give even more if you can afford it. CM7 is seriously worth more than that, considering the amount of battery you save. it easily trumps a 1ghz phone running froyo, and with the speed motorola releasing the official updates, ice cream sandwich could have come and gone before we even get official gingerbread on our defy
Ahh shootttt. Im doing exactly as page 1 show. But now my phone is blackkkk.
Okey. Take out battery and normal boot. It's back to Froyo ;(
