[Q] SBF/ROM req for green Defy

[Glaux]

Hello,

I'm looking to finally take the plunge and flash a custom ROM, but I'm a bit lost in all the possibilities. I have a green Defy flashed with stock 2.2—what would be the best upgrade, bearing in mind the following criteria (ordered by priority):
1. Stability
2. Battery life
3. Speed/performance
4. Appearance

Also, I'd prefer it to have the least possible applications/services/clutter installed while still running stable, so I can work my way up from there with the apps I need.

Any input would be appreciated.

Try cm7 for a while start with the stable and then try a few nightlys, it will get you used to flashing, then try cm9 and you will see how good it can be,

Green lense defys don't get flashed with sbfs after froyo, you will just have issues, if you break something then just reflash your sbf of froyo and you'll be fine

teamwork makes the dream work

Thanks for your reply. Forgive my skepticism, but I was under the impression CM7 was all about adding functionality and features—how is it going to make my phone lighter or increase battery life?
