I think explanation from page 1 is much easier to understand than xda

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

do you have 2ndinit installed now?? once you download it, you must open the app, and install it. once you've done that, reboot your phone, and see if you have the blue led light during the red M...if yes, press vol DOWN, and install CM7 from the custom recovery

There's 3 choice if want boot.. Boot> [normal] / [2nd-init] / [2nd-boot]. Which one is da right 1 ?

if you already installed CM7, then click 2nd-init...if havent install, normal boot

I've installed 2ndinit. Yes i've reboot my Defy. Yes there's blue led. BUT there's no red M

dont worry, red M if you have a custom ROM, so dont bother if you dont have red M, white M also good. as long got blue led, you're ok. press volume down and install CM7, then reboot 2ndinit

Shud we full flash 1st? Bcoz after i reboot 2ndinit, it doesn't show anything

Added on May 15, 2011, 4:23 pmAfter see blue led, den need press Volume Down? How if we never press? I've press but same only.

Make sure you're using 2nd init version 1.4. Wasted 3 hours yesterday stuck at installing cm7 then i found out that there seems to be a problem while installing using the latest 1.6

After wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, press "install zip from sdcard". Den need to apply for update ?

make sure you select the zip of CM7, dont apply the update.zip option.

the installing step for Beta 3 is same as Beta 6?
Are we going to lose downgrade ability by going to CM7?


the Beta 6 still doesnt have the Camcoder function?
