This is Adlxmod Froyo for Defy
- Based off Chinese Froyo Motorola release,
(moto/ME525_umts/umts_jordan/ME525:2.2.1/JDGC_0.26.0/1291957876:user/release-keys)
- Fully Deodexed by me -> Theme ready
- Optionally a dark notification bar patch can be installed, see below.
- Rooted
- Phone can be used with no SIM
- Includes Motoblur, which can be skipped
- Removed Chinese Bloatware
This rom targets people who want to upgrade to 2.2, but still like Motoblur. Performance isn't as good as deblurred rom, but you can OC/UV it to make it perform better (what I do).
Updated:
- Market 2.2.11 + Market Fix (Occidental apps)
- Google Maps 5.0.0
Added:

- Tenfar ClockworkMod Recovery

- Milestone Overclock
- Added in /system/xbin: rwsystem/rosystem, wpa_cli, zipalign, strace, ssh, sqlite3, dexopt-wrapper, tcpdump, fix_permissions, iptables
- Lots of APNs added

Instructions:
Rom's Nandroid: adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-build05.zip
DarkBar Patch : adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip
- This Rom is a Nandroid backup of system to be restored over the phone.
- The zip contains:
ZIP:\goapkrev\

nandroid.md5
It has to be unzipped in the root of the SDcard in the exact same structure:
SDCRAD:\goapkrev\
\backup\

If u are not using a Froyo rom yet, start with those steps:
- Flash Chinese Froyo sbf using RSD Lite
- Root using SuperOneClickFor2.1
- Reboot
- Install Tenfar Recovery application
- Run Tenfar Recovery
- Install Recovery
( If you are using already a Froyo rom for Defy, you can jump directly to these steps )
- DISABLE USB Debugging Mode (In Settings / Applications / Developpement)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Restore nandroid
- (Optional) Flash the DarkBar patch
- Wipe All!
- Reboot
Known Issues:
- Gallery 3D will FC if click on the camera button, will fix later
- Swype close word window doesn't show up upon double tap (?!)
- Only English & Chinese locales for the moment
- No PTBR locale in swype. Working on it.
- Camera Flash is sort of working for me, it fires correctly but seems a bit out of sync. Hope you have more luck with that.
Downloading now...will definitely check it out! Thanks.
Here's the problem, I like this ROM, but I hate BLUR, however this rom doesn't have too much blur, and sadly, the reason I can't use this ROM is because EDGE is the only connectivity I get. Also, I'm using another ROM atm and everytime I upgrade to maps 5.0 navigation stops working and maps lags alot. Is that the case here?
EDIT: Also, I like the keyboards and I want skype back, but I can't extract them because it's an .img file and I don't have anything that can view it...therefore i was wondering, coiuld you please upload the swype and HTC IME? I'm on the original USA DEFY and miss swype and I like HTC IME. =[

You can install swype by their official page "http://beta.swype.com/" just register and follow the steps, i had to uninstall and remove some files on the one the comes with Defy but after it i was able to do install it.
I did all of this because i wanted swype in Portuguese, that is not available in the ROM's

That is good and all, but I want the version of Swpe that came with my T-Mobile DEFY, well it's actually my friend's DEFY, he got it yesterday I"m rooting and helping, but anyways he wants the version that came with the phone originally the white skin and all. I know that's possible because this ROM has it, but I"m running a different 2.2 ROM at the moment, and I don't know how to extract the keyboard form this ROM.
There are instructions on restoring 3g for US on this forum.

I saw that, but are there any not involving ADB because I keep getting an error when trying to use ADB with the DEFY -
I get this error:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
CreateProcess failure, error 2
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon

You need to uninstall/reinstall ADB or re-read the installation instructions. You have a problem with your environmental variables.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Also that 3G fix only works with Android 2.1 (eclair). You will need to make or get a 3G fix for Android 2.2 (froyo). I'm not sure how that would happen, since you would need some files off of a 2.2 rom that is compatible with US networks, and the only current 2.2 rom is the chinese version. Which is why I haven't tried any of the 2.2 roms yet. I'm just going to wait until something more stable is available.
Hi Adlxdum, I restored your back and your rom is really fast and pretty neatly modded, thank you very much for that. However, immediately after booting, google is restoring all the apps and settings which I had on my previous rom. Including the apps. Hence not much customization seems to be left at the end of this. Is there a file that is somewhere here on either my sd card or inside my phone which I can delete. That way I can enjoy the complete benefits of your rom.
thanks again.
EDIT: Sorry there is an option on froyo for that. I unchecked the "restore backup" option under privacy.
Hey guys, will i be able to put it in top of 2.51?
Edit: I'm now testing

There is an app on the forum here that will restore 3G. I'm using it and it works. I'll see if I can find it.

Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10798849#post10798849
No find this app.
ItfunzBasebandSwitcher.apk
Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=490361&d=1295114350
It is actually booting after recovery from 2.51 :X, lets see what happens
Ok lets see so far.
It did boot, first SDCard wasn't being detected, it was ok after reboot.
Found out that camera wasn't working, used the camera fix.sbf from "bihariel" ROM, it is now working but flashlight only worked the first time, i'm now pushing flashlight fix, lets see what happens.
hi,
I flashed this and it seems pretty good. one question though, although i can start blurhome.apk if i use root explorer i can't get it to appear in home switcher.
Home can i make blurhome become the default launcher?
cheers

If you don't use Launcher Pro, you can remove it from /system/app.
Adlxdum, hey Bihariel just put out a camera fix and I used it on your ROM too. It works like a charm all that flash problems and it being unsynchronous is all gone.
I urge all you guys try that fix. It actually works on every ROM of froyo we have here.

Could you link it? And also, I'm on T-Mobile USA, could someone please tell me how I can get 3G working WITHOUT ADB access? Using Terminal or root explorer perhaps? Also, does WiFi calling work? I really need that to work as I have no signal in my dorm. Please help, and it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
does anyone know where i can get a Full Package of the Original Honeycomb Motorola Stock Apps? Just have a Xoom from a friend here, Flashed ICS from Team Eos, and now he anxious want's the Original Motorola Apps again.
Especially he Stock Filemanager.
Can i download them from anywhere? Or have i to flash back to HC, and backup the apps? If yes, does it work with Titaniumbackup?
So that i can get the clean install-apk's, not the orginial which are integrated into the system?
thanks in advance
Cant help you sorry. But would also like the default File Manager back for posterity. Apparently it is only the non US model that actually cam with the file manager in Honeycomb 3.2 update. US versions never had it and everyone will tell you to download a file manager from the market!! But the stock one was very simple and intuitive so I like it and want it back too.
Hey guys!
I managed to get the file manager that came in the Honeycomb stock motorola, ROM, but I can not install!
I've tried putting the file directly in the "app", I changed the permissions for all possible combinations, and nothing... I've been researching and I think the problem is that such "android manifest" it determines the sdk to target 11 and the ICS is 15 .. but can not edit the xml. I'll leave the apk here, if someone can help: http ://dl. dropbox. com/u/28574144/FileManager. apk
I liked it too, because it was simple. But I then realised it was not tablet optimised, so much slower to navigate.
miss stock apps too

Not sure if anyone would be still interested in this but I got the stock File Manager back!
I've "reseted" my xoom back to 3.0.1 version. The File Manager apk provided wouldn't work but after an update to 3.1 version that nice stock File Manager apk just showed up automatically. No need for apk installation or anything.
Anyway thanks buddy for providing this link!
