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.

Hi,
Did you hit the power button and the home screen button at the same time?
If you're on stock, and you received the 2.3.4 update a month ago, you should be able to take a screenshot by pushing power and home at the same time (or, rather, by holding the Power button and tapping Home). The screenshot should be saved in your camera gallery.
I know this does not work for the Revolution ROM, but IIRC it did work right when I was still on stock.

Lol. Ya idk what htc was thinking -.- ... it drove me crazy on cm7 now so i dont have to worry about that issue anymore
It works in Revolution HD ROM, to get it to work use ES File explorer and edit screencapture to = true , it is false by default. It should work after. For stock ROM like the previous post said it comes with the 2.3.4 update.
/system/build.prop
# Properties for supporting framework features
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true

That's an old one. Current is AR26. Don't think stock camera was fixed at that point

Yes that is old as mentioned. also the contacts syncing are you referring to with google or like facebook etc? The syncing with social networks is a sense feature (unless you download apps to do it for you) and not part of aosp. With respect, i might stay away from ics for the time being as they are all in alpha right now. If you are looking for something similar to stock but with extra features there are plenty of well made sense based roms here.
i do know that the camera will not work in ics beta that i flash but now with the factory settings why do noy work properly? thats the point. maybe the old rom damage the camera hardware?
and the issue with the contacs is when i plug in the phone to my pc it only show the option to share files but no other (HTC sync, usb tethering ...)

Those sync options are built into sense based roms only. If the camera is behaving like that with any rom. are you doing a full factory wipe/reset before flashing a new rom? if so then possibly hardware.
ok,
i will flash another rom to see if the camera behave the same.
yes, i did a wipe/reset before flash the rom.
i am rooting the phone again and will flash another rom to see what happen. Can you post a link of the ar26 or another rom that you know that work well just to do this test?

i hate recommending roms because it's an ugly road. But if you are testing camera and you like your sync options coredroid is a personal fave for sense roms. i havent used many as i tend to stay away (preference).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965207
i just notice this, if i open camcorder app the camera behave normal, the issue is with camera app. I will try with another one and let you know
ok, i download an app for the camera and work normal. i think the camera app is the problem.
I noticed you said reroot your phone. Please do not attempt to reroot your phone if you have root access. You MUST be unrooted and verified the unroot. This will cause all of us a headache... and more wasted server storage.

[Q] Dedicated Camera Button

Hello i wanted to ask if i can force the power button to take pictures when i push it once instead of clicking on the screen.
i don't want to the power button to lose it's original behavior, i mean when i hold it for long enough it will still show the Shut down and REBOOT etc.. options.
i tried the one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916154, but i all i can find is MENU & BACK.
is there a way?
thank you.
Try using Razodroid rom.. It has got the feature u opt to have..

There is already a hack available for stock roms by wilfredcool007 in the dev section...
And most of the stock based custom roms already use his mod...
And all cm7 also have this option...
And it behaves as shutter key only in the camera app...nowhere else...

I am currently on cm10b#3 and when I lock my phone it starts and when I long press power button to reboot it does not work like it used to before...hope u people understand my problem. I would be really thankful to the person who will help me!!
Do you mean that your power button is actually working for powering on but doesn't work when phone is ON/Doesn't bring power Manu on holding?
Is this the problem with this specific ROM?
Did you clean install?
Wipe every thing and flash again.
