Hi,
Is there any person or developer who can port CyanogenMod Rom on our Defy?
Or do you guys have any idea regarding this? How can we attract the attention to any developers towards our Defy?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/screenshots
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/
CyanogenMod Rom works on Droid. So That should work on our Defy as well.
Looking forward to hear your ideas guys......
We need a recovery first
How can we get that recovery?
Wait for it to be sorted - it will come, just got to be patient
What does it really mean that we need recovery and why? Please explain in a way that a noob can get it.or diect me to a place to read thanks!
Bcs recovery is needed to get the modded ROM onto the DEFY!
You need to replace/modify allot of things and this is not as easy as getting a non market app onto your mobile
And i guess there are much more people looking for a 2.2 or perhaps 2.3 then waitin for a CyanogenMod Rom!?

The modded recovery is out... Please Cyanogen make a miracle...!
my main phone is a G2, and have yet to run a CM rom, I'm, more then happy with what we have so far for the Defy, and thanks everyone efforts, if someone ports an OEm Sense Rom over this way well that's another story lol
You know what I am with the guy above. Im loving what I got so far. And in the new year I will probably do my own custom rom. I am not in any rush to get 2.2 at the moment, and im getting an android tablet today so hack time is being diverted to that

HI, how can we do that?
I would like to help all to get a working custom rom.

Google, you need to be prepare to read - alot.
Everything I have learnt is from googling - all the various android forums.
Hi, i asked google a lot, but can´t find a realy gooo anser what excatly todo.
I can compile my own rom from source, but what is with driver?Firmware?
How i implement this?
Is the bootloader locked the same way as it is on milestone, droid x and droid 2? Or is it hack friendly and we can load any custom kernel?
I missed this thread before.
I would love to see CM's rom on the Defy. In fact I would have no problem donating to the individual who makes it happen
no way!
No one wants to hack the defy!
Would easy i guess for a realy hacker.
But no one do it.
All want to give motorola devices back or won´t buy it.
Poor.

Very different phone dude, you can find a new defy for 290€, seems the Lg Optimus 2x will be around 550€ ... that's really expensive
Not true. Several people already have.

And ofcourse, if you find yourself in any situation where your phone might get wet or dropped, there's no point in comparing them.
Until froyo(kernel) is released by motorola, we can "only" have a CM5 port for the defy.
It would be great trying froyo kernel without any modules and having them replaced by DEFY ones... Doing that we would know if motorola uses the same key for all the androids
Hi people,
Does anyone know about this thread? http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3406
Came to this link through a post from a brazilian blogger who says this is compatible with Milestone 2 (A953), but I'm not sure about that...
The poster says this is an "official Gingerbread leak" and it looks real... but after reading half of the replies (that's over 14 pages!) I still don't know if this is meant for A953 too - the pics and information only refer to A956 (Droid 2 Global / Verizon).
My question is: may I try this file in my Milestone 2 (A953) or will I brick my phone?
Thanks!
The main reason why we didn't have a GB rom for so long is because D2 roms aren't compatible with M2. You can flash them, and the phone will boot, but GSM radio won't work and there is no fix. But fortunately we already have our own GB leak, and there are some good ROMs based on it.
Nice! Thanks for your quick response, I will notify the poster of that blog.
Just one last question: is this statement true? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16914333&postcount=7
Thanks!
Why the double post?
My bad. I didn't know where to ask about this then decided to create a new thread, dumb choice, because after that I came across the other thread.
So, if applicable, mods please delete this one

Maybe...
As I know GSM on D2G is just a plugin to CDMA.
Well Mile2 has a mapphone_cdma.init.rc (something like that) script on the kernel, someone has to try it out.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
Right... so I'll leave this to the pros, because I wouldn't know even where to start
And does this discussion bring any new ideas to the existing Gingerbread on M2 efforts? I've been watching this development section for a while and noticed that there are many mods based on the chinese leak, but I haven't seen anything mentioning this so-called "official leak"...
The original thread in rootzwiki.com is recent (first posted in Aug 21) and I thought that this could be useful for you developers.
I own my M2 for about a month now and I still don't know much about hacking its system. So I can't help as much as I would like to.
Thanks again!
Why posting here? This isn't development at all. Also..the name thread..be careful with the acronyms
Hello everyone, I'm new here, and noticed no topics on developing roms for the android based SiriusXM Lynx, From what I understand, it runs on Froyo. For those of you unaware, it is a Satellite/wifi/bluetooth radio, but has android under it. A friend of mine discovered the recovery menu on his Radio today, and posted some pics.
(I would post these pics here, but I am unable to right now since I am new)
Anyone think this thing can get a custom Rom on this to run a regular version of android, or any neat tricks to play on this little device? my aplolgies if this is not the right place to put this thread, just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this? thanks again guys.
i would like this also and also found recovery

Hello all!
This is my first post here and I thank all for comments in advance - they are very appreciated!
So I was very new to the aspect of rooting when I first got my Sprint GS3, but I read posts here and watched many tutorials on youtube and successfully rooted my device using Odin, then using Goomanager flashed CM 10.1 without a hitch. I had a custom kernel as well ( do not remember the name ), so when I updated my ROM I went hunting for new kernels as well. On an XDA (forgot the name/link) thread I found kernels compatible for CM 10.1, but when I flashed it my phone got bricked. No drivers found, won't boot into recovery or download, taking out and replacing battery wont work - not even an LED light. I said that I lost it and received a new one, but I was wondering why it got bricked (I have a bad gut feeling I did something as dumb as getting an international version kernel as I heard they would not be compatible?) And if there are links for a kernel for a stock firmware rooted GS3 - I have not seen one and I am nervous on finding more seeing as how I already bricked one phone. Thanks for the help!!! I just want to be more educated on this so I do not have to spend another 150$ in replacements. Thanks!

Just stick with the kernel provided in the rom you are using. The developer picked or made that kernel for a reason.

The reason that I wanted another kernel is since Cyanogemods stock one does not let me OC/UV and those are options that I would like to have

Only flash kernels that are in your device threads. Next time leave out what you did to get it replaced as that is fraud and not looked at well here.

Ok that is just dumb. Make sure you understand what your doing before you do. Remember the min you flashed a custom rom. You no longer have any warranty.

I'm taking my time now and i read as much as i can to see the issues others are having. been new here is like a kid with a box of new toys "want to play with all of them at the same time". thats another reason i registered, to thank all the great developers that take time to make such a great roms for us to enjoy :good:
I had a hard brick a few months ago I sent it it in for a jtag repair and it works perfectly it is a lot cheaper than getting a replacement phone

now i believe that it pays to read as many times as you can before doing something to a precious phone.
i hope it will not happen to me..

Agree
As the title says, I'm wondering about the differences between the CM custom ROM and CyanogenOS. I know (or I think I know) COS is what came on the 1+1 from the factory and that CM is the custom ROM can be flashed on it (I'm using CM12.1 on my Falcon 1st Gen Moto G). Come February or March I'll be in the market for a new phone and I'm highly interested in the 1+1 so I'm doing my research and learning all I can now, before I make a purchase. If I buy one from Swappa (which is where I'll get it when I do make my purchase), I'd like to know some info about COS and what would be the pros and cons over CM12.x (or any of the other custom ROMs out there).
Thanks for any info you can give.

They're essentially the same ROM, but different. COS is considered the stable branch and is the stock ROM for this device, CM is the nightly branch, it's more up to date but more prone to bugs.
I dont know why there is a disscussion about something like this???
I looked before i post but i think i am right !!!
Where shoud be the diffrent ???
COS is not CyanogenMod !! It is Color OS!!!
Only "CM" stands for Cyanogen*MOD* i dont know why someone starts somthing like this but ... there are only diffrent betwen Nightlys and Stable!!!
Like -> CM11 or CM11s OR CM12.1 -> CM12.1S
and if u think im not right, look by ure self on CM official website for Stuff like COS or else show me there what kind of ROM names COS12 or else there!!
The International OPO came with CM11S and not with this Fakenames someone gives to get more attention!

Lmao. Sorry, but you're so wrong. You can't have looked very hard or very well. This device did initially come shipped with CM11S, that's what they used to call the official firmware for this phone. But ever since Lollipop they renamed the official firmware for this phone to Cyanogen OS, it's abbreviated to COS12 or COS12.1 depending on which build is being referenced, and it's abbreviated even further to COS. There's no such thing as CM12S or CM12.1S, even though some people mistakenly refer to COS12 or COS12.1 by those names.
The official name for the latest firmware is indeed Cyanogen OS 12.1, but that doesn't mean people don't refer to it unofficially as COS12.1, or that they're wrong in doing so. We see common abbreviations all over the world. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in America is commonly known as the FBI. The European Organization for Nuclear Research is commonly known as CERN. And Cyanogen OS 12.1 is commonly known as COS12.1.
CM does stand for CyanogenMod, and COS stands for Cyanogen OS. He's asking about the difference between the two different versions. CyanogenMod has never been the official firmware for this phone so you're dead wrong there. You might want to check your facts before posting in such a manner and accusing someone of looking for attention. It is in fact you who is incorrect.
Do you actually even own this device or know anything about it?
Oh Yes i have a OPO and i am running with COS (Color OS) hmm......
Okay i found it ..... but i never saw it before maybe while i am only on custom roms! In europen forums.......i saw threads about COS "Cyanogen OS" but i thougth about fakes!
NVM Youre right an i am false!......
But in the CyanogenMod site (the have cyanogenmod site and cyanogenos site) the ROMS are called CM12.1 or CM12.1s if u dont belive me i will show u the links!
EDIT: And please dont tell me it wasnt the Official OS for OPO witch OPO we talk about???
The Europen one came OFFICIAL with CM!!

There isn't a single mention of CM12.1S in either of the sites, because there's no such thing as CM12.1S. Go and look yourself, there's no mention of it anywhere.
Plus, you're getting confused between the entities, let me explain it:
CM = CyanogenMod
This is the community run project, and has never been the official firmware for this phone).
CM11S / COS12(.1) = Cynogen Inc
This is the corporate branch, this is that only official firmware that has ever been come with this phone).
Therefore the international (or European as you call it) model of this phone never came with CM (CyanogenMod) as the stock firmware because that's the community run project, not the corporate branch that supplies the firmware for this device.

I got this device last week (it got shipped to Belgium, Europe) and I can confirm that it got shipped with CyanogenOS 12, not with CyanogenMod. So, unfortunately, you're wrong.

Heisenberg is correct in his statements regarding the firmware which ships on the OPO, however, there are distinct differences between the open sourced community CyanogenMod projects and the CyanogenOS besides one (COS) being the official stable branch and the other (CM) being the development branch. The most important of these differences being that the corporate entity CyanogenOS includes proprietary closed sourced replacements for several open sourced apps found in CyanogenMod. And to further complicate things CyanogenOS seems to have a different lineup of these proprietary apps with every iteration. For example the Cyanogen firmware has at various times included an alternate keyboard app (askey), email app (Boxer), and several unique to the OS features like an exclusive camera, browser, sound mixer, and theme. There are other differences too that a close examination of the files from each ROM easily reveal. I hope this helps.

Thank you sir. That is great info. I've been watching the phones on swappa and have noticed some come with the Cyanogen OS. I know that this phone is very open for custom ROMs so I know that what ever it comes with when I purchase it I can put what I want on it.
