IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We are sorry to announce that we will be moving all of our releases away from XDA Developers. As such, we would like to thank XDA for our time here, and are sad to see things end in this way, but it is for the best.

We are proud to announce that we have now added official support for the Motorola Defy!
Lens Support:
GalnetMIUI supports both Red lens and Green lens Defy devices!
Installation is the same as the MIUI Android release. I have copied their install guide, so credit goes to them for this:
No Data Wipe Install
This method assumes you already have MIUI and want to upgrade to a newer version without wiping all your data and apps.
1. Download Latest MIUI rom and matching language pack.
2. Boot into Custom Recovery.
3. Install the rom .zip as any other install would go.
4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.
How To Install from Scratch
If you have 2nd Init installed already skip to step 3, if not start at step 1. These steps assume you already have flashed the Nordic Froyo rom to your Defy.
1. Download Defy 2nd init installer, easiest way is from market.
2. Run the 2nd init installer following the instructions closely.
3. Boot into Custom BootMenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.
4. Select Recovery, Custom Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install .zip from SD Card, select MIUI rom .zip and let it finish.
6. Let the rom boot for first time. If there is any Chinese in the rom, simply select your default language to English and reboot your phone.
7. Done! Enjoy!
Download
The download links will be in the latest release section of the official GalnetMIUI forums at www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum however for this release I will give you the download link directly.

Change Log:
Market Updated
Lots of other small fixes that we've forgotten to mention
Updated to 1.8.19
Better Battery Life
Includes USB connectivity
What Makes GalnetMIUI different from all the other MIUI roms?
The aim of GalnetMIUI is to maximise speed, stability, and battery life. While it looks the same as any other MIUI rom from the end users point of view, we have done a massive amount of work under the hood to achieve this.
So far, we have achieved this on the i9000, i9000b and i897 devices, and we are now bringing these objectives to the Motorola Defy!
NICE. Waiting to see the work
Good day!
Just to let you all know that this is now released, please read the OP
Regards,
Are there any screen shots of this ROM? What differences are there over the standard MIUI ROM?

I have added the change log from Twooey II to Twooey III to give you an idea.
As for screenshots, It looks the same as normal MIUI, but with our own theme on it.
How return to official Froyo from this ROM looks like , is this posible ? What languages are supported ?
Installed. Report tmr
i would like some screen shots as well as what is the advantage of GalnetMIUI over normal MIUI or what is the differentiation? good to have more developers working on custom ROMs on Defy!
@kevin_diu Please give us sample camera records from this ROM.
@kevin_diu : and more info is welcome too , do you have green or red lensed Defy ? Could you check if there is Polish language supported ?
I have a green len defy. I will upload a few screen shot and record sample to you guys also I will report my battery life (I have to do a battery calibration tonight).
HK time GMT+8 now is 12:11 and maybe 8 hrs later I will update.
The signal of this version seems very good (4x asu I saw before power off my defy)
At first: THANKS for the work!
Now, it seems not that much of a difference, but it's said it's a tuned MIUI. But I really don't like the theme, it looks strange "red" when you press something in the menus, but hey, you can change that
Also it seems to have installed 2 launchers, it asks me to choose one (MIUI / TWlauncher) at start.
And though it's not that expensive, it's a strange idea to get groupies to pay you for early beta access. How just about a donation?
Will play with this for a while and report back if I find something interesting!

It's to help raise funds so that we can develop for more devices, and giving access to the same betas that we use ourselves was felt to be a fair deal.
The betas aren't of the next release of Twooey, they are betas of our next major release, which we've called Chameleon. And there will be features included in the betas that won't make it to public releases until Chameleon itself is ready for release to the public.
On a side note, is it ok if I use your screenshots for the OP?

Sure, use the shots
For the groupie-part - ok, sounds like another way to donate to you, and as "thank you", you get early access. As long as your final releases are public and free this seems fine
edit: forgot to ask, what's the story with two launchers on startup?
Is after flash phone already rooted or not ?

Thanks for that
The story of the two launchers is because some people can't live without an app drawer, so we included TW 4.5 by fraggor for those who either can't get used to no app drawer or simply can't live without one.
And yes, it's rooted.
Nothing special, restored my nandroid backup with official MIUI after 2hours of using this galnet thingy.
Yeah, i don't see from the changelog what the big difference is between this and official. Does it have 720p record?
Can OP be more specific on differences, please?

There are three builds:
See screenshots below.
Hybrid
With sense & Launcher, You decide the default when clicking home (See screenshots below)
Titanium
No Sense (stock android launcher) but keep the added functionality of the HTC apps and apps listed below
Lite BETA
See below for further info
Almost all HTC & third party apps (including sense) removed and replaced with stock android apps
1. Copy the ZIP to the root of your SD Card and then Turn off/unplug your device
2. Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say 'HBOOT' instead of 'FASTBOOT'.
3. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the 'RECOVERY' option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle - at this point, plug it into your Linux or OSX computer.
4. From 'push files' zip that you downloaded you'll see a file called 'recovery-linux.sh' or 'recovery-mac.sh'. Run the one appropriate to your operating system and the screen of your device should change to display the green recovery image menu.
5. In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select 'Wipe -> Wipe data /factory reset'.
6. Then 'Flash zip from sdcard' and choose the "Pympsters_ROM_0-1". Confirm with the trackball and the update process will begin.
When the flash has finished, reboot, and you are DONE, WHOOHOO!

Lite BETA?
Ok this has proved much more difficult to make this than I originally intended! I have yet to find a fix to a FC error on the MMS app. This is very much a BETA release, there will be the occasional FC error. Contact sync with google can often cause an error. Please post the details and any screenshots so I can try and squash these bugs
Oh and in reality its probably more of an ALPHA release. I recommend making a Nand backup before hand, in case you want to flash back quickly
Thanks!

I personally haven't ever needed it. If you do want to add it then you can flash the zip to it. nachtschicht discovered how to make it operate correctly:

Hi Pympster, does wifi tether with BT work? I'd like to use it.
So is this a hack up of my ROM?

So what is actually the benefit of using this ROM over MCR ?
Seems to me like all the things you have changed can be actually accomplished via kitchen in MCR.

I was thinking the same thing...
I only started making the ROMs for myself and a friend and wanted to share them with you guys on here. I clearly give credit to Paul at the bottom!
I'm using Paul's ROM as a base because it's a really good start point. I'm working in implementing a few other things to the ROM. You can pay to have some of the things I have added/removed using Paul's online kitchen here.
I am making this ROM primarily for myself and to increase my understanding of the Android platform.

I saw the link at the bottom, and I'm not trying to be rude, I have no problem with you basing stuff on my public releases.

Welcome to AndroidMobSquad!. We are proud to announce that the first complete themed Froyo rom by AMS AndroidMobSquad-v0.3! We hope you like it and please give feedback and/or logcats. Updates will be on a regular basis, at least as much as possible. Everything is themed to the max!

Requirements: You must have a rooted G1/Dream/Sapphire [32b] devices only. You also need the Danger SPL and one of the 2.x radio's
Changelog: AndroidMobSquad-v0.3 built off of RC3
-Stuff removed: (removed to free up memory): amazon, rom manager, google voice (download from market and install on external storage if you choose to), and lot's of ringtones (If your favorite ringtone is gone, let us know which one or ones, and we will add it back in.)
-Stuff added: Bootanimation, Htc Launcher, 14 wallpapers, black keyboard, and custom theme.
Instructions:
-Full wipe before flash. Flash rom and then gapps. We added our own gapps with some things themed like the browser quick search box, and the genie widget. So please feel free to install these worry free.
Latest verion of ROM: http://drop.io/puq3x60

-Download the xml file and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then go to CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Tweaks extras, then select Import colors to XML
XML Download: http://drop.io/zlfn7ih
-We recommend downloading or installing SetCpu to overclock to 576mhz. If you wish to overclock higher, download dumfuqs kernel and flash in recovery. A good and stable speed is 595mhz max. You must set up SetCpu first before flashing this kernel and select set on boot, otherwise it won't work.:
Download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?b7v09yej45we844
Update: If you want appstoext partition, you can download Firerat's patch. Many people have added it to their roms, but there may be issues in doing this as opposed to running the patch from your sdcard. I like to use compcache. Follow the instructions on his page, and run only the commands from the script that you need. The Facebook sync patch is not needed any more, this has been fixed.
Firerat's page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572
-Set CM Settings > Performance to "disable surface dithering", "lock home in memory", enable "JIT", enable CompCache. Your phone will probably reboot once you enable compcache, so make sure you have anything else you want checked before enabling compcache.
Looks good. Who's rom is it based on? It looks similar to htclay's Superfly.
eh, it looks like the same only.. edited it. We didnt want to copy someone else's work if you know what i mean

yeah I think he messaged a moderator about it to remove the other threads
testing the ROM since the past day
all things are going great untill the compcache dumped me i turned it off and enabled swap by firerat patch 138b, things are again going great now
one I want "Old Phone" and "Digital Phone" Ring tones back
2nd is that the keyboard is a too contrast in coloring... it is having strain on eyes... specially in low light conditions... so i would like the colors of the keyboard to be a bit to the duller side ... may be inspired by the original keyboard
3rd i would recomend to try use swap instead of compcache if some programs are shutting down due to low memory
which way to app2sd? ext or fat?
"If you want appstoext partition, you can download Firerat's patch."
Sounds like ext and not fat....
Seems more like if you want Apps2sd on FAT just use this ROM as it is, if you want them on EXT apply Firerats Patch.

Basically yes. I'm pretty sure that apps2ext partition is on cyanogenmod's list of things for do for 6.1.0, which should be coming soon. As far as 6.0.0 goes, apps2ext is not one of the options.
thank you
amazing rom only thing can u add htc hero widgets like calender weather.
Theming someone else's hard work and calling it a ROM is asinine.
Why don't you just put a metamorph theme up in the Theme section and call it a day.

Well for one, the framework would not run properly at first on rc3, so I had to recompile the framework-res.apk. and second I added all the themed icons in seperatly. As far as the launcher icon goes, we are planning on changing that on the next version. So please tell me one thing in this rom that was already a metamorph theme for rc3.
I'm saying why don't you just make this a metamorph theme instead of calling it a full fledged rom when it's clearly just CM6 all dolled up.
Sent from my HTC Magic using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
well what we are trying to mean is that we had to edit the theme and recompile it so it would run fine on the rom. I know it looks like it would be easier to just make a full theme for the rom but i don't know exactly.
The ROM is running great on my phone but I have a slight problem - when I try to run my browser, the phone will shut off and takes a couple minutes to restart. I tried wiping and flashing the ROM again and keep running into the problem. Any suggestions?

[ROM]MIUI-2.8.17 JB Grouper v0.1 Alpha By Jmotyka and Droid_Vicious!
EDIT: This is going to be a co-development by me and droid_vicious. He is working his magic now.
Let me introduce myself. I'm jmotyka and im no developer, i am a graphic designer and android themer/enthusiast. I used to be a well known themer for the Nexus One and worked along side of Manup456. I have been out of the theming and developing seen for a while until now, i am very rusty. This is my first step into the android world again. I have many friends/devs that will help out when needed. I am a very busy man i dont have much time to develop, so please bare with me if i go on a multi-day hiatus. This rom is not and will not be my priority. I expect people to show some respect to me and others in this thread. If there is any sign of flamage in this thread rom development will immediately be halted and removed.
Credits:
1. MIUI & CyanogenMod Development Teams
2. Droid_Vicious For the inspiration and being an all around good friend
3. Google For making this possible
4.BAMF for the Grouper Gapps.
Links (do not mirror):
Click Here For Rom Download
Click Here For Grouper Gapps
Instructions:
1. Copy the rom - to SD Card
2. Boot into CWM and do a backup of your current rom
3. Flash the rom
4. Skip recovery flash!(after flashing the rom CWM will prompt you with the option to flash or skip. SKIP!!!!
5. Flash Grouper Gapps
6. Wipe Data
7. Reboot and DERP
Working:
Everything as far as i can tell.
Not Working:
Dont know yet, but everything seems to be fine as of right now
TODO List:
1; Remove Recovery
2. Finish English Translations
3. Add Reboot Menu
4. Add Custom Kernel
5. Find the best DPI for the rom and device.
Notes:
This rom actually comes from china. The only thing i did was change some build.prop stuff to get it functioning. To start off for some odd reason who ever developed the rom in china left the DPI to 310 and it looked horrible, so i set it to 213 which is the groupers standard dpi, it looked much better but the drop down notification window was getting cut off, so i decided to set it to 240 which looks great IMHO. This is by far not the final product. I am by no means a skilled developer but i am a tinkerer and if i run into issues usually i can fix them.
Important Notes
1)This rom for what ever reason has a recovery baked in. I recommend running cwm because cwm will let you SKIP the recovery flashing. I have not had time to remove this yet but i will. DONT ACCEPT THE RECOVERY FLASH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF ITS OK OR NOT. I don't see why it would be a problem because this rom was developed for the N7.
2)I AM NOT TO BLAME IF YOU FLASH THIS AND YOU NEXUS 7 BLOWS UP. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Running great for me. I froze the dialer and the Chinese app store and its running smooth. Lock screen is huge and keyboard runs in phone mode, but I'm finding it easier to type on than stock.

What does that mean? Is that a good or bad thing? Screenshot please?
Also I noticed in the first screenshot it says "No service" at the top left corner. Does it always say that? Can that be removed and/or edited? Thanks!
I am kind of reluctant to root my Nexus 7 because I don't know if I can still receive official Google updates on Android if I root it or if I can even unroot it.
Sure
Fills the screen but does not overlap.
Here's a screen of the keyboard.
Regarding your other concerns I would say go ahead and root. With the toolkits available it is very easy to flash back to stock, unroot, and relock the bootloader if needed.

Thanks! I'm going to take a deep breath, root my Nexus 7 now and flash MIUI
Working on v0.2 right now. It will have the recovery removed. And it will be in english by default. Super user will replace permission manager. Hold tight.

Obviously you can't text or use phone so don't even try, but other than that every thing will be gravy.
Also be sure to thank droidvicious for working on a ROM that he doesn't even have a device for.
Thanks for the help. I now have English.
But, I think I lost root.Rom manager hangs with error as does Titanium. I tried to get back to cwm but for the life of me I cannot boot back into it. If I could I would fix permissions there. But again. I may have lost root?
Fixed. Went to permission mgr and all seems to be good again.
OMG you are the most amazing person every. I love you (No Homo)
If you need help with something such as default language english and all that stuff i can help out. Also you can change the size to stock by modding the services.jar and androidpolicy.jar file. Im going to expiriment a bit, thanks so much again.
Edit
You are so amazing, i noticed you are using mediafire? If you want the next build you can send it to me and i can upload it to my site for direct download links. I have unlimited bandwidth so its no problem for me.
thanks for creating a v0.2 so efficiently, the recovery issue has been driving me crazy the past few hours!
Hyperrunner is here? If he starts helping out with this ROM, I might forget all my issues with MIUI and run this exclusively! I'm definitely gonna be keeping a close eye on this thread
As the title states this is Android L Developer Preview 2 in a flashable Zip!
Read this post in its entirety before you download and flash!
Everything seems to work well with one MAJOR caveat... You MUST format DATA AFTER you install the ROM!
Im not talking about a factory reset, I am talking about a FULL data format!
Failure to FORMAT Data will cause the inability to write to your internal storage which will cause the O/S to not work correctly!!!
Make a back up of everything you need off of Internal storage, this includes TWRP back ups, movies, pics, etc...
Remember, you have been warned! YOU MUST FORMAT DATA which will erase everything on your tablets internal storage!!!

It's smooth as butter. I do enjoy the extra little animations Google threw into Android L. I don't think it's any different than the first build as far as performance, though.

I don't know what they did on the second build but all my pesky wake locks are gone. Awesome job Scott! Thank you.
I'm really enjoying this preview of Android L, really awesome of what's to come. So smooth, clean, loving the animations, and the keyboard is dope. Thank you for this Scott.
I think the animations make it look more polished. I dont know about speed. Antutu scores decent.
I just like having a new look as well.
What I don't like.... Too much info n the lock screen... IM sure that's changeable though... Also don't like the pull down status bar style any more. I liked the old style better or maybe they could make the shade the entire width of the screen.
Overall its really a more polished version than what I was expecting
Those are my thoughts...
You guys forgot about battery life, with L i'm getting about 2+ hours more screen on time compared to 4.4.4. :good:
Seems like they worked on ART and did a really good job.
Speed is great! I like the new animations. I am sorry tot say some apps are not working. F.e. gobackup (i made from out of 4.4.4 a backup which i cannot put back)
When i open gobackup, it asks for root permission, i say yes and the system hangs and reboots itself.
Also buienalarm (Dutch app for wheater) is nog working.
Is there a way to get the battery show the %?
Boottime is a little long. Speed in browsing is absolutely great! Thx for this ROM!

One thing I think about when you say that... Did you open SuperSU and let it update the binaries? Just a thought, dont know if it will make a difference.
My wi-fi hotspot is invisible for android L. What i should to do?

I was using slimrom 4.2 build 8 with twrp
thanks i'll try the new one
WIFI is now fixed. no need for new kernel. any other issues please report to me and i will try to fix them.
Really appreciate you bringing this to our epic's, I assume there' no wimax since CM11 still doesn't have it activated?
Am I doing something wrong? I'm not getting any bars with this ROM installed. No service.

WOAH! Okay tomorrow i'll try to patch things up since i'm off of work. for now stay with cm11 if you really need your phone.
New build uploading, anyone care to test it out for me?
A little update, I'm giving up on this. Way too many bugs and I can't keep up with them due to me not knowing how to fix and me being too busy with school and work. If anyone wants to port roms to this device i can pm you the guide i used. For now, I think I'll just delete the thread

Is this phone dead when it comes to development???

Could be, this phone had to have had one of the longest runs as far as developing is concerned. Now with Sprint on the verge of doing away with WiMaX, I think it's a safe best that this phone will finally be laid to rest lol
If only they would build another bad arse device with a awesome keyboard. Of all the phones I ever owned this was by far my fav. Which is why I just bought a newish one. hopefully I can find valid links to make it the beast its was ment to be.!
I finally got my Epic out of retirement and flash with 4.4.4 and gapps 4.4.2. this combo has the best stab;e and speed, i tried the open-gapps 4.4.4 but i bogged the phone down alot.
btw anyone have a working link to SlimKAT 4.4.4 only one i have used thus far is CM 4.4.4 unofficial
