Im more than willing to donate for a rom that gets rid of all this moto blur stuff......there is an app, or process, that murders my battery similar to the ice truck killer. I have to close it every morning :(

One rom= more roms. :)

identify, root, rename. problem solved.

my solution so far:
1° rooted defy with z4root
2° renamed apps (amazonmp3 & friendfind) with Super Manager
3° automatic app garbage collection with Advanced Task Killer

don't like the blurlauncher but half of the blur widgets. so I am not killing blur totally ... yet

I don't really care whether any rom would be 2.2 or 2.3. I am so grateful that people that know more about this stuff than me are here. If development continues I am sure we will get both 2.3 and 3.0.

Also, I feel a deep need to stick it to Motorola for waiting 12 months since 2.2 release to actually update the Defy to 2.2 in Europe.

Thanks for all your work, I really appreciate it.

Froyo Stock Recovery

Hi there, I have recently updated to the leaked official froyo for defy and I was able to go to stock recovery and root recovery before updating and I was only able to go through the update through the custom recovery and I did it anyway but since I had the adw launcher my defy got a lot slower and I had to uninstall it and I ended with a nonfunctional home button and I have use back button to go to home screen and sometimes I'm stuck in an infinite loop and can't get to home at all so I thought reinstalling the same update.zip file might help since I didn't want to lose any of the data and settings on the phone, so this time when I used the volume down and power button method it gave me this picture and the botton right corner doesn't do anything. btw I have lost my root as well after the initial update. Any thoughts on how to get to custom recovery or even if getting there will let me re-update to the leaked froyo update again?

    To get into stock recovery on the 2.2 from that screen you need to press volume down and volume up at the same time.

    This guide should be amended with:

    3. If you're on Eclair (2.1) press the bottom-right corner of your screen. If you're on Froyo (2.2) press volume up and down simultaneously.
