Update 10/02/11:
For existing users of the ROM, flash the 2.2GB_NoCG_31_39.sbf (Link below). This will flash the rest of the ROM apart from the part that stops the ROM from being downgradable and system - Don't worry your ROM will be as it was before after flashing - you won't loose any data.
##CAN PEOPLE POST WHETHER THEY ARE HAVING GTALK/MARKET ISSUES PLEASE## Please also post if it is working ok for you
Back up after needing to sort out a few niggles and an issue with the rom including my Titanium backup license key. Now RC2.
Higgsy Modded 3.4.2 GB Froyo for Motorola Defy.
Fully working, no niggles ROM. Everything works. Its a blank canvas, All social networking blur stuff removed, some widgets, some other stuff.
Included:
Launcher Pro
Milestone Overclock
Titanium Backup
Widgetsoid2
Clockworkmod Recovery
Es File Explorer
Also:
Deodexed
Rooted/Busbox (Busybox installed in /system)
Over clock Script included with following freq/vsel 1000/52, 600/36, 300/26. (milestone overclock is not loaded as default - just go in and load module and set to apply on boot then forget about it)
Install process - this must be followed to the last letter - there is no variation so please don't ask.
If you have already followed the process to get onto a downgradable base, (i.e. you already flashed RC1, or, you followed the other thread Here then all you need to do is boot into clockworkmod, wipe data/cache and restore this. It will wipe everything again, sorry about that.
I never flashed a non downgradable .sbf before, such as 2.51 Eclair, or the GB/US Froyo, so can't vouch for whether it will work correctly on peoples devices that have done that, you should however just be able to flash the system/image if you've already got a 3.4.2 froyo base. If you have never either recieved the phone/flashed one of the undowngradable .sbfs, this process will ensure you keep you downgradibility.
Files Needed to complete This:
2.2 Chinese .sbf(Unzip the .sbf from the archive)
Higgsy_Modded_3.4.2_GB_Froyo_RC2 (Unzip and put folder in the sdcard/goapkrev/backup folder)
Superoneclick Root
Clockworkmod Recovery
2.2GB_NoGG_31_39.sbf(Unzip the .sbf from the archive)
1)Make a backup of all your apps with Titanium backup on your current ROM.
2)Boot into Stock recovery (Power On/Vol Down, then press bottom right hand corner of the screen when you see the warning sign) Then perform a data wipe.
3)Using RSD Lite flash the 2.2 Chinese ROM (Guide Here if you need it!)
4)Once the phone has rebooted, skip set up, root via superoneclick and then install clockworkmod recovery/apply.
5)Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery and wipe data/cache
6)Now got to backup/restore and restore the Higgsy_Modded_3.4.2_GB_Froyo.
6)Important! Once the restore is complete pull the battery, as you are reconnecting the battery hold volume up, so that it goes straight into bootloader.
7)Once in bootloader flash the 2.2GB_NoCG_31_39.sbf by RSD Lite
8)Once the above is completed it should reboot and you are done
PLEASE READ:
I don't recommend restoring settings via titanium backup, only apps/app data, in the past I have done this and found it problematic. I suggest to redo your settings manually.
If you want to use setvsel (as it now works fine with froyo) you need to remove the setscaling scripts I put in for overclock and also milestone overclock. Setscaling scripts are located: /system/xbin/setscaling.sh + /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
If you report a bug I need to know what roms /things you have flashed before, there are too many variables, most notably if you been on non downgradable roms
Enjoy!!!
Thanks go to:
Sorensiim - Hosting all my files
mcm_xyz - for the haptics fix
Bizzaboy - for info on updating media profiles, so improving video recording
Authors of all the apps included in here, donate or buy the full versions they are worth it!
Further updates I intend to release as update.zip's, looking at themes, bugfixes (even though there aren't any that I can find) etc etc...... Please don't pester me for these, I do it as a hobby and sometimes don't have time for days to do things.
Change log:
03/02/11
RC2 release
Removed my TI Backup license that I had inadvertently included
Removed various info from the data.img, that I believe could have been cuasing some of the niggly issues people were having.

Hey higgsy, i didn't flash your ROM yet but i have a question
At the moment I have a Defy which is on 2.34, and I didn't upgrade yet because i NEED a downgradable ROM (for warranty reasons, the DE version is still at 2.21)
now thanks to your tutorial, i can upgrade to froyo while being able to downgrade to the official 2.21 if needed, but here's my question:
what happens if i nand restore a different ROM based on the 3.42 UK rom (like HandlerExploit's upcoming Vanilla version), will I still be able to downgrade?
(e.g. does restoring a backup WITHOUT flashing a new sbf make your device undowngradable?)

Its flashing the sbf what locks you out of being undowngradable. simply restoring a system and/or data partition should not cause an issue. Ask the authors of the other ROMs, I can't comment on what effect there releases will have on your phone.
could we have some screens?

Screens are pointless mate, its a blank canvas there is no theming etc. the screens in my 2.2 CN thread are pretty much the same
Looks nice,
so far running very smooth every thing ive tested and works well as far as i can tell!!
although I cannot got into recovery just get a black screen
Overall very nice cheers!!
Duh! I just flashed the uk rom posted by iaio72. I just realize it is not deodexed and i *must* (must?) replace that statusbar. If i understand correctly, it is not possible to theme odexed roms, right? Do you think i can just flash your system image or may this raise some issues ?
Higgsy, first of all thanks you very much for this rom, but I have a "little" problem. With a clean nandroid and with your, I have problems with gmail notification and "google talk connection problem" (don't know how is exactly writen, I have in another language)
what can be?
Edit: Just say: "Google Talk failed to login. If this is a google Apps account, confirm that Chat service is enabled for this account."

Just a blind guess: you did disable usb debugging before booting into recovery, right? This is mandatory for froyo (don't know why though).
Another, market is not the new.
Edit: Now is up to date, it just didn't want to update, or install app. Removed data and restarted. Somebody know something about the other issue?
If I already followed the safe upgrade to 3.4.2, it should be good enough to simply do a nandroid restore and flash devtree again, right? I so want to get rid of blur
Camera not working!
Everything run smooth but the camera is not working.
if i'm already on 2.51 (it came stock), how do I go about flashing this froyo release?
Can anyone help? thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the good work
I've the same problem with Talk, authentification problem...
I've another problem with the LED from camera doesn't work.
Any idea?
gratias mate, for your work.
I had the blur-UK ROM installed, so I was able to restore your system.img only. Non of my data got lost and it's running smooth on your deblured version
Is there any chanche of this? Will MIUI be for our phone?
I think Khal said either him or Dexter (or both?) were working on it. I might be mistaken, but I hope it happens. Checked out MIUI in it's full glory today on youtube and was impressed. Would be awesome to have it for XT720.
Prob. not
MIUI for XT720 is released!!!

No chance for a stable MIUI for XT720? If not, what's the issue preventing us from gettting it? (not that I'd be able to do anything - just curious).

Secondly, create a folder named "firmware" on the root of sdcard.
Thirdly, unpack the archive of the Rom you want to install, and put the three file (boot.img, custpack.img and system.img) and the "firmware" folder.
Now go to the ClockWorkMod Recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and choose "restore_by_Gulyuk.zip". (The script install the three file of the "firmware" folder).

Hi guys,
Few days ago I bought Alcatel OT 990 and since then i was trying to read as much as I can about this phone, about ROM's, rooting etc...Because this is my first Android phone...
So, back to the topic, I was looking for a custom ROM, one without dozens of pre installed applications and stuff I will probably never use. So I was suggested to try French stock ROM (thanks, that was push i needed to overcame my fears of bricking phone)...
French stock rom (required rooting, installing recovery and gulyuk.s script to install firmware) and gain nothing except SU rights on my phone and different welcome screen when I turn my phone ON...
So, my question is, does anyone knows is there a custom rom, some kind of "clean slate" without bunch of "useless" applications?
Boris
No "clean slate" ROMs yet. Hopefully CM7 is going to be one. Meanwhile use some of available Root Uninstaller programs available on Market (I hate GP combination of words). But be cautious, With root uninstallers You can brick Your phone (nothing that can't be fixed by re flashing ROM but it is a pain in the... You know)
Bole, samo hrabro
Well, I will not uninstall this what I have done until that CM7 comes out... then I will see what is smart thing to do...
Send me a pm if you know some good instruction on how to set partition on SD card..
Do you want to use link2sd?
Maybe this can help you
If you want more app space, you mustn't delete this apps
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter [/COLOR]
GoogleFeedback [can be delete but you must reboot to stop Force Close]
GoogleQuickSearchBox [useless if you don't use the search button]
[COLOR="Red"]GoogleServicesFramework [/COLOR]
JrdSetupWizard [useless after first setup of the phone]
LatinImeTutorial [just an explanation for the cooltek keyborad]
[COLOR="Red"]MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation[/COLOR]
SetupWizard [useless after first setup of the phone]
[COLOR="red"]Vending[/COLOR]
VoiceSearch [useless if you don't use voice search]
( In red, the thing you MUSTN'T delete, if you don't want to brick your phone)
EDIT: For this, you can use root explorer or es file explorer

Hi mate ,respect to Your work,any new Rom for Alcatel OT990...thanxx
please anyone knows about custom roms for our phone which is today the best choise? i upgrade the phone to 2.3.4 is there a good and stable custom rom with root that someone wears it more than a month with as less bugs as it can? sorry for my english i hope someone can help me
I seem to have found the ROM I need on the thread [ROM][JB] Team EOS 3 (Stable release), but I still need some help. My Xoom has ICS 4.0.3, and I want to upgrade to JB 4.1.1. Is there a step by step tutorial to upgrade Android?
I've already downloaded the rom (Xoom EU 3g - umts_everest / MZ601) and Google Applications from the links on that thread.
Last time I upgraded my Xoom, it was from stock Honeycomb to the current version of ICS. But I've followed a step by step tutorial listing everything from the downloads to the fastboot commands to get things done.
Sorry for (what I think is) such a simple question, but I'm really too careful with my device because I don't want to screw it.
Tks.
Edit:
I've found a great tutorial here in the forum. I still have some questions that I'll post there.
N00b tutorial: Flashing EOS3 to MZ604 Xoom (Wifi)
how to flash
It s very easy no tutorial needed for this
1. You need custom recovery
2. External SD card
Copy the Rom and the Google app zip files on the external sd
Start on recovery mode (when you see the logo Motorola after 2,3 seconds push the volume - after volume +)
Make wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data factory
After install zip file from external sd card, chose first the rom eos zip file
Make the same for google app zip file
Reboot
And it's ok
I am at a loss
I unlocked the xoom and upgraded to JB no problem. But once I was there I was unable to load anything from the play store. Nothing would get the play store app to boot even when I downloaded the apk from other sources. The web store was also useless. Even using the built in app that was supposed to block them from seeing that I was unlocked,still no good.
So basically, what good is rooting if you can't do anything ?
As those of you who own this Point of View (another chinese A 13 tablet) know, the stock 4.1 JB rom which the tablet
ships with is very slow (close to unusable if you ask me). I wonder what these chinese people actually did to the stock
rom to make it go so amazingly slow...
Here is a quick fix for those of you who would like to have a faster experience
This instructional assumes you have installed your USB drivers and have a copy of ADB.
1: BACKUP YOUR ROM (or you can find on the Point of View homepage)
2: Follow the instructions at A13 ROM JB 4.2.2 + DRIVERS and install FaaastJB v2.5 (4.2.2).
Once installed, and after first time boot, your touchscreen, camera and gsensor will NOT work. Leave the tablet on.
3: Download the attached file (TS drivers, modded script.bin and cfg files) or from this installation link.
4: Unzip the file to your ADB directory.
5. Connect your Point of View Mobii 703 via USB and execute the 'run.bat' that came with the TS modules.
6. Your tablet will reboot.
7. Congratulations! You have a fully working tablet with a much faster rom!
Working Stock P703 CWM for Faaastjb 2.5 ROM
The CWM that Faaastjb 2.5 ROM comes with is incompatible with the Point of View Mobii P703.
That is, if you reboot into recovery, you will be stuck in the dreaded CWM bootloop.
The attached file contains the CWM recovery partition image from the stock P703 JB 4.1 ROM.
This CWM works OK with the FaastJB 2.5 ROM. It does not contain as many functions as the
Faastjb CWM, but at least it works..
This instructions assumes you have installed your USB drivers and have a copy of ADB.
Instructions:
1. Your tablet must be in USB debug modus (Settings | Developer options).
2. Download and unzip the attached file to to your ADB directory.
3. Connect your Point of View Mobii 703 via USB and execute the 'run.bat' file that came with the files.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions. The recovery rom will be copied to your sdcard and flashed to the recovery nandg partition.
5. Your tablet will reboot.
If everything went well, you will have a working CWM, which makes running the Faastjb 2.5 ROM on this tablet a
more complete and safe experience.
