i dont honestly think that it pushes components to the limit. one thing comes to mind. how many touch points does your stock defy has? 2? if you not sure, please download multitouch tester and press as many fingers you have on the screen and you will know. and by just rooting, you can add a multitouch program that gives you up to 10 point multitouch. now, is that pushing components to the limit? or plain unlocking the potential? i understand some components are pushed to the limits, like over-clocking, but then with root, you can under-volt, which means you;re using less voltage to run at same clock speed, meaning you're gaining precious battery life, thus giving your phone a longer lifespan.

dont just judge blindly. there are pros and cons in everything. try to get the max of the good, and lessen the bad.

hi bro...may i know why is there a need to have so many touch points for?. I am using MIUI but no multitouch program..tester only registers 2 touch points..

for touch points, it depends on your usage. generally 2 points is more than enough for most programs/games, but certain games require more touch points, like Tap Tap Revenge or games like that. if you find 2 points is enough, then it's good enough. but if you find that it's not enough, then you can add the program in. that's the beauty of Android

hello defy MIUI users...care to explain how the battery use in settings>system>battery settings works?...

what i am facing is whenever i fully charged my phone, the battery use indications does not reset itself but instead continued to count from the previous charge...so i can get like "Battery has been lasting for 4d 13h 44m 48s now" which is not true..

I thought it would reset itself after i unplugged from power socket..but not for my case.

ok, just a few things.

1) gathering Sept 17 - so far, Starbucks Tropicana Mall, Midvalley/Gardens TGIF...where else? anymore ideas? i think we should maximum  give until  end of next week before we vote

2) 1.8.26 camera broken? i just updated last night and camera working....hmm....i wonder why?

3) cientoo, if only one button not working ALL THE TIME...then likely something wrong with it, but if intermittently, then likely software only...
