| ![]() Here we go! The first time I upgraded to a Froyo official ROM, it went down to Galaxy S levels! ![]() Then CM7 worked out was installed. Here's the quadrant scores & the screenshots. ![]() ![]() ![]() Motorola Defy Ownership | FreeRiding contains the exact instructions as I followed. Can gladly walk anyone through if they so want. @ByDesign: Its CyanogenMod7! @Samurai: Just finished in the morning. Let me use it a full day & then report. I'm glad all the crap applications are gone. My battery wasn't finishing even 12 hours with all the email accounts & random addons! Ah damn, can't edit it now, but now its overclocked nicely to 1.1Ghz. And this is the result: ![]() So my Defy purchase stands vindicated. Hallelujah! ![]() @Mods: can you merge both posts?

| ![]() Hello, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S LCD yesterday night (20,249/- in Croma, Bangalore). Android ver 2.2.1 (Froyo). I am a newbie to smart phones (upgraded from a very old Motorola phone). While browsing the features, i somehow saw a menu for Facebook and Twitter App. I tried to get this menu options back but not able to. I don't remember how i traversed to those menu options. I am stupid ![]() |

| ![]() EFFING awesomeness this is! What an amazing Q score! Boss - you have me all tempted now! Please tell me if I can install CyanogenMod7 on my Ace? It looks so amazing in the screenshot! Been just a month and I'm already bored of the stock Android looks. |

When I put it on charge, it is fine. But as the charge reaches 80% or above, it starts flashing and vibrating. The charging message comes and goes. Check the video. When the screen is locked: When the screen is unlocked: A window at the top says charger is disconnected. The flashing/vibrating still continues. If I truly disconnect, the flashing stops, but the warning window never goes away unless I re-start or leave it for very long time. Has anyone seen this kind of problem? | |

| ![]() @Rehaan: Its like talking of supercar quartermile speeds in a maruti swift shootout. Bacche ki jaan hi le lo ![]() btw i expected more outta the S-II with dual core and at 1.5 Ghz! @Samurai: Its charging fine now but restoring a whole bunch of motorola applications is causing a separate error with sounds. Didn't I say, its not for the faint of heart? ![]() |

![]() Mine was very very dismal to start with. Often had to charge it twice in a day!! Then slowly the novelty factor died down and the usage became 'normal' - 2-2.5 hrs calls, 10-20 sms, light browsing, some games etc. Even under such conditions battery never lasted me for more than a day. Recently, got rid of the app killer and a few other apps, disabled background data and switched off the EDGE connection totally when not in use. Results are very good so far. Late into the evening and am still at 88% charge! Looks like I'll get a good mileage this time! | |||

a. I ran a batch of "restore all apps+data" in Titanium Backup. It reverted almost all settings/wallpaper/sounds as per Motorola's install - which promptly kept crashing the media thread whenever any theme sounds were required (retrospectively understood). b. This irritated the hell outta me so I tried reflashing CM7 - somehow it didn't like to use the SD card this time around. c. That pissed me further, so I used the System Recovery app restored by Titanium Backup. Now CM7's Recovery app is similar looking but quite different & which screwed up the installation. d. Courtesy quick online support on the xda forum, I understood that my way out was to reflash to 2.2.1 + remove cache/user data, then upgrade to 2.3.4 and remove cache/user data. Sounds simple. But point d took multiple trial & errors over almost 3 hours inspite of live guidance. Now I am uber confident tho! ![]() I wish!! | |
