No news for our Defy. 1. The Defy has a PowerVR SGX530 GPU, no Adreno. 2. The Defy has a locked (signed) kernel, so it is impossible to change kernel modules.

doixanh's was a Dev that compile for old Xperia x8, when the bootloader were blocked in this phone, this Dev makes a lot of kernel modules that allowed have a lot of functions that need the "unlock bootloader" this can help to our devs, if not... do as if I had not said anything :)

Any help guys?

Need to know which to flash,

want to upgrade to ics from cm7defy with green lens

For green lens you must stick with froyo kernel, so use eppys 17/03 build

Boot into recovery
Wipe catch and dalvic
Flash eppys .zip
Flash.latest gapps
Wipe catch and dalvic again
Reeboot and enjoy ;-)

Samsung Galaxy S7
Running defy red lense mb525 with cm9 gingerbread kernel and battery fix from the link in this thread's first post, 18.03 build by quarx.

Works great, I enabled load all drivers via cpu settings in 2nd init and set my cpu governor to smartass in performance settings via cm9, enabled to set it auto at boot.

Noticeably more responsive with smartass.

Still, I cant use wifi hotspot and usb tether. Usb tether works with cm7 on this phone, used it succesfully with froyo kernel.

Would be awesome to see a build with hwa for gingerbread cm9 kernel.

Good job, devs! I'll donate as soon as we have hwa with gb kernel and usb tether works.

Currently, I only got tethering via bluetooth to work, but thats unnecessary battery drain and radio waves for a pc setup 30cm away from the phone and a usb cable at hand.

    TO CLEAR YOUR CONFUSIONS ABOUT GB KERNEL ICS AND FROYO KERNEL ICS

    I have seen lot of confused user out there asking about which kernel to flash and stuff... So here u go read below...
    So our beloved Awsome Developers make two types of nightlies
    1-For DefyPlus(Can Also be used on Defy(RedLens))
    These are the GB/CM9 kernel builds
    These are found under /cm9-nightly-defy+/ folder of the servers which we have
    To install these you need to follow the TuT to install ICS Defy Plus Above...
    Green Lens Camera Wont work on these builds


    2-For Regular Defy(Do not work on Defy plus)
    These are Froyo/CM7 kernel Builds
    These are found under /CM9-Nightly-Defy/ folder of the servers which we have.
    To install these follow the TuT to install CM9 ICS FOR Defy stated above

    3-Well there is no 3rd build(There is The MileStone2 Port by Walter79,But now that we have camera on our builds that one is not usefull...)


    +ICS bugs (all kernel versions) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381887


    Doesn't Work (not supported yet):
    -Panorama
    -HWA a bit buggy

    If you find any bug please post it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381887
    If the bug is specific to this kernel version please post it in this thread.

    ok, you know what? i tired of this. I'm reading in all kinds all replys (here and in other threads/PM): from good job to being dissapointed by the way i manage(update) this thread. I'm sorry for those of you who are dissapointed (but bear in mind that i do this for free, in my spare time, for you) and lots of thanks for those of you who appreciate my efforts in keeping this as "up-to-date" as I can. But I can't do this no more... users are getting upset for being to much threads about this, and since I'm not the developer nor have anything to do with the development of ICS, I will ask a moderator to close and archive this thread.

    It was nice while it lasted. See you around:) Cheers!

    [/B] Feedback:--GodSlayer--:
    Comes with Google Apps pre installed
    Added Defy ROM Updater
    Camera one step foward: There is shutter opening sound( or something of that sort ), Camera app doesn't just Force Close anymore. Still cannot connect to camera
    UI is somewhat faster.
    
    What is Defy ROM Updater?
    A ROM Manager like app, it allows to
    Check for updates
    Perform all wipes( Davlik, app, data )
    Backuping and Restoring the ROM
    Entering Recovery Mode.
    
    [B][I]29-Jan-2012:[/I]
    [/B] Feedback:--GodSlayer--: 
    UI is much faster
    3G Works rather well
    Added Interface: Launcher, Interface:Themes, Launcher:System in settings
    Added Personal:Profiles in Settings
    Added System:Performance in Settings
    Camera very very soon - when you usually open camera, there is that sound, in this build, it has that sound but camera app force closes. 
    Added Music app( CyanogenMod 7 )
    Added Dev Tools - ( don't remember it in previous version, perhaps I am mistaken )

    thanks for the reports, i fixed the apn window (merge problem, aosp 4.0.4 merge was not fast-forward) and the wifi off from notification bar by a temporary hack...

    for the video, its still very sensible code, and our device familly (omap3) is almost fully ignored by cyanogenmod team ....

    bootmenu and Usb apps have now the official ICS branch, but wifi camera and codecs will be a hell again to be merged...
    33
    This build is test of hwa with some fixes..
    Fully hwa we can use only after new gl libs, but for now we can't use new libs(thanks to moto for that)
    On defy+ hwa completely unstable, than on defy.
