[Q] Defy ROM's

[mariano22]

Hi, to be honest, my Defy+ isn't rooted, but at some point of this year (or next by sure) I will, and I will install a ROM in a really short period, so, i want your recomendation, what ROM should i choose? I don't want any theme or nothing, i'm choosing: CM7, CM9 or CM10, CM10 by that time will be improved, so it's practically CM7 or CM10, it's obvious that CM10 is better (JellyBean, duh ), but from what i heard, it uses a lot of RAM and performance is "Good-Meh" so I don't know if go to CM10 for JellyBean, CM7 for performance and gaming or multiboot both... (Answer me like if I were rooted, I want to do it but... I will see if I hurry me)


Sorry for bad english

I will go for CM 7.2, the last stable build works very smooth, opening apps, scrolling, etc, you must flash a camera fix for this build, replacing the Camera.apk and the overlay.omap3.so.

For sure the CM10 is a attractive choice, but in my opinion isn't more smooth than CM 7.2 yet, you have some features in Jelly Bean like Google Now, and some UI improvements, for example in the notification bar, where you can read messages, call contacts, etc, the called Project Butter, and more, so if you are a smooth paranoic i recommend CM 7.2, if not, give CM 10 a chance!

Thanks for the fast and complete answer, I think I will get CM7 and wait, because i'm in stock ROM, and I sometimes get reboot for bad RAM usage and it's SOOOOO SLOOOOW, so I think I will use CM7 at least for a while, thanks

And i suggest you to use CM 7 with the Launcher Pro, it will change you Android experience totally.

the best rom for daily use is Ms2ginger 4.0 ...... stable , fast , has the best battery back up , high quadrant , 720p and paronama .
After testing several roms on my phone (and friends defys :silly "close stock" roms works better

Thanks :highfive: maybe I will try them three (Ms2ginger, CM7 and CM10) because id I flash one my "fear" of flashing will be gone and that way I can compare, but I think that for stable at least in a period of time will be Cm7 OR Ms2ginger, i will wait for :angel: Master Quarx :angel: to fix a couple of bugs before staying in CM10.
