Smile [Q] Should I flash Defy+ ROM on my Defy? Is it worth upgrading from CM7?
Okay so I have a Motorola Defy running on Nordic Froyo Kernel and with CM7.1 nightly 63 as the real system and CM9 111202 Nightly on dual boot (SD Card)

I've heard about the Defy+ ROMs such as MS2Ginger. Moreover, recently Epsylon3, the dev working on the ICS port upgraded to the GB sbf. So maybe the next CM9 builds will be running only on the new kernel.

MY QUESTION IS: Will I be able to revert back to stock Froyo safely after flashing the GB sbf? Will I be able to use all the ROMs working on stock Froyo like CM7.1 (which I can't live without) or MIUI? Is it worth upgrading to stock GB now or should I wait for a few weeks so that CM9 gets stable?

Thanks in advance!!

PS : I'm sorry for just another GB to Froyo thread but none of the others answered my question.........

CM7 is apparently custom GB ROM on Froyo kernels

You can move between GB kernel and froyo kernel, just make sure you flash the kernel zip file through custom recovery. That's how I keep moving so often between CM9+GB kernel and CM7.1+Froyo kernel.

Do NOT flash the GB full SBF through rsdlite, you'll loose downgradability.

Some users have reported that customer service said Defy+ will get ICS official update, if so, we Defy non-plus users can get that kernel too :P
