Once you have it running, you will definitely feel proud of your phone as it is running the latest version of android 4.4.2.
Thank the developers who have made this possible.

You must use 4.4 now from Quarx. These builds are awesome and they are very stable. Check out 4.4 forum

Did you try flashing gapps as well along? If so, do not do that. flash the rom only and once it boots well, you can try minimal gapps.

ok thanks i will try that way :)

Most stable Motorola Defy+ MB526 Custom ROM.

Here's some steps I did to achieve better performance and better battery consumption.
With this configuration the phone was quite fast and responsive and this battery lasted 2 and a half days and still has 30%.
No lags, no FCs, no ringtone bug.


I did this walkthrough to a friend, so ignore obvious parts.

The first two times after installing the ROM, the battery drained very fast and with a few drops. After the third cycle the battery completely normalized.


Thanks and credits to the developers! Not to me! =)

Hello! And greetings for all good good work!

I have a rooted Motorola Defy+ MB526.
Systemversion 45.0.2310.MB526.NordicRetail.en.EU.
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid53#1
Version 4.5.1-134_DFP-231

Now i want to update to any of the 4.X.X custom ROM. I don´t care about the latest KitKat i found in this forum, what i need is the most stable 4.X.X of them all, of course the newer system the better, but most important for me is stability and less bugs. So i wonder what/wich version to recommend? And if there is a good guide how to do the flashing of that recommended ROM. And if there is possible to revert back to stock Gingerbread if something goes wrong.

Would really appreciate help with this, or if someone here is willing to help.
Thank in advance Marc.

(Note, i am noob to flashing, i have only rooted my Defy+ and my Xperia Z1 with simple one-root tools)

Where ever they send Me!!
Thanx for reply.
And is there any chance to install custom ROM of android 4.2 for DEFY XT 535 ?

not sure which thread am supposed to post in but am using your 4.2.2 rom(just flashed it today)

Liking it alot but am having issues with market and play services.... services just crashes and market doesn't do anything other than ask me to reconnect... data is working fine (wifi is a little poor with regards to strength, any ideas here?)

which gapps is actually working for this rom as tried the ones in first post and have issues mentioned

never mind sorted it out you need to search for 4.2.2 minimal gapps...the link leads to 4.1.1

Buttons backlit is always ON

On Motorola Defy+ CM10 20130217 + JellyX kernel I've found that backlit of buttons is ON when display is OFF. Density of light is VERY low. It is noticeable in complete darkness only, after eyes are adapted. The better way is to use peripheral vision.

Can I turn backlit off? If no, is it fixed in latest ROM version?

UPD: On 20131030 same issue.

I have no download links but I could upload the stuff needed for CM11 inkl. the ROM. The culprit is though that the flashing is a bit complicated due to the needed repartitioning and I have the instructions for all that only in German.
The ROM's filename is cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip .

Oh, nvm then. Actually overclocked my mb526 to 1.4 GHz (i'm impressed! runs smoothly, doesn't heat up that much but the battery runs out fairly quick 😅) and decided to leave the good old 2.3.5
but thanks anyway!

    I appreciate some of the comments here about the difficulty of keeping threads like this cleaned and organized, especially with so many users not following instructions. However, this is the job I signed up for, so it's not a big deal. :)

    That being said, since nothing else seems to be working, I'm going to temporarily close this to force people to use the other support threads for this ROM. If you have a legitimate bug to report and serious question that needs answering, use the support threads (an absolute last resort would be PMing the developer). This will be reopened at the appropriate time.
