Im more than willing to donate for a rom that gets rid of all this moto blur stuff......there is an app, or process, that murders my battery similar to the ice truck killer. I have to close it every morning
One rom= more roms.

Me too, happy to donate to any ROM with 2.2 on, and doesn't have any MotoBlur nonsense.

identify, root, rename. problem solved.
my solution so far:
1° rooted defy with z4root
2° renamed apps (amazonmp3 & friendfind) with Super Manager
3° automatic app garbage collection with Advanced Task Killer
don't like the blurlauncher but half of the blur widgets. so I am not killing blur totally ... yet

custom rom
I would literally make a paypal to donate for custom recov / 2.2 (2.3? ) rom

for Gingerbread me too!

I don't really care whether any rom would be 2.2 or 2.3. I am so grateful that people that know more about this stuff than me are here. If development continues I am sure we will get both 2.3 and 3.0.
Also, I feel a deep need to stick it to Motorola for waiting 12 months since 2.2 release to actually update the Defy to 2.2 in Europe.
Thanks for all your work, I really appreciate it.

We should directly switch to 2.3!
So 2.3 would be great.

Froyo Stock Recovery
Hi there, I have recently updated to the leaked official froyo for defy and I was able to go to stock recovery and root recovery before updating and I was only able to go through the update through the custom recovery and I did it anyway but since I had the adw launcher my defy got a lot slower and I had to uninstall it and I ended with a nonfunctional home button and I have use back button to go to home screen and sometimes I'm stuck in an infinite loop and can't get to home at all so I thought reinstalling the same update.zip file might help since I didn't want to lose any of the data and settings on the phone, so this time when I used the volume down and power button method it gave me this picture and the botton right corner doesn't do anything. btw I have lost my root as well after the initial update. Any thoughts on how to get to custom recovery or even if getting there will let me re-update to the leaked froyo update again?

To get into stock recovery on the 2.2 from that screen you need to press volume down and volume up at the same time.

Yes, I'm a noob too, should we do it?
We lose the ability to get OTAs, right?
Do upgrades come to xda almost as fast as they come from Google?
Help a couple noobs, by the way my Incredible just tried to change "noobs" to "boobs", ha!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Froyo is in the works, I believe a couple members are working on porting CyanogenMod6 to the incredible.
In the meantime DO NOT try to flash the Nexus One Froyo as it will most likely brick your phone. Look around the Incredible Threads for more info.
thanks...not gonna try until I'm fairly sure I won't brick it! getting root access was enough of a heart attack for a while I shall explore incredible forums.

on market, download rom manager, give it superuser.
in rom manager, install clockwork mod recovery.
on market, download SMS BACKUP & RESTORE
backup your txt messages
turn off your phone
volumedown+power... wait... recovery
now your in clockworkmod (might have to hit powerbutton once)
[use optical button to scroll up and down, and push for select. power button is now back button instead of select. go back to far, it will turn screen blank, in which case u just hit power again to go to main menu]
select nandroid
do a backup.
there now all your SH*t is backed up.. u can stop bein a little Biatch (jk) and start loading SkyRaider or CM6 Froyo.
the backup is in Esdcard)\clockworkmod\backup\20100721-xxxxx\
but nandroid will find it next time you run it and click restore.
you can also take a nandroid backup of your FroYo skyraider/froyo CM6 to save those and load up other Roms.
Got it?

Have any of you guys flashed both this and noobnl's ROM? Currently Im running noobnls and its pretty stable so for. But it still has TouchWiz. So since Boss is suppose to run stock, can any of you tell me if Boss is as bug free as noobnls?
What custom kernel does this rom have. When I check settings>about phone>kernel version it says 2.6.29. Isn't that the stock kernel for DI07 or am I mistaking?
Since Andromeda Galaxy has shown me bad battery life thus far, I'll be testing this out when I get home. Is it based off of DI07? I know it says newest OTA in the OP, but I wanna be sure.

Is this kernel better than the stock one? noobnl said the stock one was better than his in his own thread or is this a new one?
I tried to flash this 4 times and it flashed ok. However, the problem that I'm running into is that my apps does not reinstall. I tried Mybackup Pro as well as Titanium backup. I even manually re-installed all my apps from the market. On all occasions, i get the message that everything was restored. But when I go to my app drawer none of my apps are there. I turn the phone off then back on and i get a black screen with the capacitive buttons lite up and it doesn't go any further than that.
have anyone else ran into this problem?
Was your last rom deodexed?

If you want the official release from Samsung, you would need to download & install the Kies Mini software from Samsung. Once you've done that, click the menu in the upper left-hand corner to install the drivers. Plug your phone in via the USB cord, Kies Mini should recognize it and tell you that it can be updated. Hit the button, let it do it's thing (takes 10-20 minutes), and that's about it.
Just a little extra:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1810
Why...?...is gingerbread the official one that comes with the Samsung ...cause i bought mine from someone...she got hers from t-mobile...and it just seemsvlike my froyo is way more outdated then my wifes...and one more question...is there like cab files for android...?...and is it able to change the taskbar at the top of the screen...?

[MOD] wake up phone with volume keys !

i hate reaching for power button to wake up phone!
this mod will wake up phone with volume keys!
this mod is made by GideonX, i asking for it on tmobile gs2 forum and he makes it for me!
this mod tested on "Deodexed" 2.3.6 stock rom.
wake up phone with volume keys
This works great. I just noticed however that it made the text in the Recent popup change from saying Task Manager to 4G Network Disconnected, although clicking it, it still correctly opens the Task Manager.
awesome thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for. Now, to find out how to install it (novice here), haha. Already rooted, but no custom roms running.

Use Root Explorer or any other root file manager.
or just flash it.. like you flash any custom rom!
I just need to have my phone rooted and this will work? Or do i need that other rom first?
Widgetlocker also has the function to do so

[Q] Semi-Brick due to borked root...

Greetings ladies and gents,
I have a bit of an issue with a co-workers phone. It seems that he attempted to root his Blaze and completely screwed it up. You see, I'm from HTC land and have never rooted a "Sammy" before. I have no issue with those devices but my friend is a bit "special" and has trouble boiling water if you gave him the instructions.
What I know:
He told me that all he d/l'd was ODIN and the USB drivers and nothing else. Once he connected his phone via USB his problems started. (I really don't believe ANY of this...But I digress)
Now his phone only does 2 things... 1. It will attempt to boot and never completes. You get the BLAZE 4G exclusive to TMobile splash and the progress bar an freezes shortly after. 2. I can trick the phone into the stock recovery with a bit of prodding.
Other than that, nothing but the battery screen showing it charging.
I'm trying to help the guy get rooted, so can someone lead me to a bit of help?
Thanks in advance...:silly:
Can you access download mode?
Its vol up + vol down then power. While connecting the USB to computer.
Once you see the white Samsung logo flash, release the power.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
Not at all unfortunately. I've tried the Vol +/- & power key presses but the phone will just vibrate in 1-2 second intervals until I release. Nothing else.
Once the phone attempts to boot...then freezes, my PC will detect it in Odin (w/ COM 3)
You got to time it right. Let go of power then wait 10 seconds and let go of everything.
This is necessary

There isn't really a "best" ROM. But cyanogen mod is a great start, I used their new installer and its works. Don't worry when its says that the device is a Galaxy S 2, its a little bug, but you still get cyanogen mod for the Blaze. If your friend likes cyanogen mod and wants more customisability, he should try the other ROM on the forum. I hope that helped!

They are all great. PAC and carbon have the most features.
I'd recommend for you to stay away from 4.4 for the time being.
