Flashed 3.6, but cannot get Australia Telstra baseband to work. Does not connect. Tried rebooting several times, complete wipe, toggled airplane mode, nothing.

Used 3.0 stable before that, and baseband worked fine on that.

[edit]wifi will not authenticate. Same problem on 3.0

Flashed 3.0 again, baseband working fine. Then flashed 3.6 again, baseband problem back. This makes 3.6 unusable.

No reboots so far.
Use this method for Baseband problem

My too. But I think that reboot increase after install aerocontrol app and I try to change vsels.
Why don't you simply use SetVSel? I use it with the latest build (03.11) on my green lens and works faultless.

300/20, 600/36, 850/52 and 1150/65 ... and it's a safe set. I can go as low as 300/17 and 1150/62 but decided to stay on the safe side :)

Flashed 3.6
But camera not working :-/
Didn't work for me with the first install either. Try to flash a CM11 build, then flash SlimKat over (with wiping everything)... can't explain how, but it works for me having the CM11 installed before the SlimKat... nope, I don't know why. :)

Could that possibly fix reboots while on performance

3.8 build feedback (very little)

Build 3.8 uploaded, with new gapps. It's in androidfilehost only right now, will be in d-h.st in a few hours..

Hi @TJKV,
Using this build since half an hour, and is running very nice, smooth and fast. Reboot option was not working in default options, whenever I was rebooting phone, it was getting shutdown and I had to remove battery to switch it on again.
But I am using Xposed - Gravity Box, so it solved my problem.
Thanks for the awesome build :good: :) :eek:

Hello,

Could someone tell me where can i download rom for my motorola defy ? I checked http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1035-4-4 but it is way too confusing and i am not sure which should i select
In XDA the concept is to read the first few posts of every thread, they inevitably contain everything one might look for. In this case you'll find download links in the second post. Remember, always read all the posts by the OP (Original poster, in this case me) before posting.

The Slimrom ROMs by @TJKV are unofficial builds, since he is not part of the Slimrom team, so you won't find his ROMs on the Slimrom website; he is single-handedly porting these ROMs to our Defy. Also, you found it confusing to browse through that link you posted, and probably spent time doing so, and you didn't spend the time to even read the 1st and/or 2nd post?

I never seem to understand people who do that...

Just a quick review of the 3.6 build to those, who are still on older ROMs. I've been using it since Saturday, so the ROM received a couple of days of "abuse".

I was on Kayants JB 4.2.2 Illusion since it's release (and didn't have stock ROM since I got the phone), I wanted to upgrade to KitKat Paranoid-ROM since Kayant released it, but the one more build I wanted just didn't come... so decided to upgrade to KitKat finally testing all the available ROMS (CM11, Paranoid 4.0, AOSB, Omni and this).

Ended up with TJKV's SlimKat (3.6 at the moment). By far the most lag-free, enough customizable and memory friendly.

I saw lot of posts mentioning how much free memory they have.... after a memory wipe. Niiiice, but as you start to use your phone it goes back to the basic state the ROM and the apps need. So I had about 50-60MBs of free RAM with the JB Illusion, and having used Star Wars Collection in the last couple of weeks, I always needed a memory wipe before starting, as the game need as much free RAM as possible. It was scary slow with that, could see the loading animation stop for seconds.

I have 80-120MBs free RAM while using the phone with SlimKat, so tried SWC. The extra 30-60MBs of RAM makes a huge difference. Loading barely stops, as while the gameplay is still slow by multi-cored phones' standards, loading times are not scary.

As TJKV implented Quarkx' latest builds, bluetooth headsets finally work!!! BT was a pain in the @SS since moving up from JB 4.1.2.

Overclocking is out as Quarkx took it out from CM11 for a reason. You can overclock using SetVSel. My green lens is overclocked and undervolted ([email protected] - [email protected]) and no FCs since. SetVSel has 2 governor settings On Demand and Performance... but On Demand seems to be a tad slower in use, so went with Performance. No real difference in battery times, so Performance worth it.

Battery... I can make 24hrs of use with 2hrs talking, about 1-2 hrs of Wi-Fi, no mobile data use, BT use in car (about 1 hr a day)... SlimKat feels the best for me on the battery also. I had about 20hrs with the JB Illusion.

To the free memory question... I use Launcher8 and it might not be the most memory friendly launcher also, so SlimKat is a real joy on the memory.

There is a blink of laziness when contacts are opened or when I open a contact shortcut from the launcher... really just a blink. General use is lag-free.
I see the difference in the launcher too when scrolling from top to bottom... had some lagging before, but no lags with the SlimKat.

One more. Antutu... I had 4400 something with the Illusion ROM (that was pretty good as I had as low as 2700 as some other roms with the same overclocking), SlimKat does 4875. :)

All in all, my most important considerations were: free memory and lag-free operation. Finally I feel the Defy does what it should have been since it's release. A biiiiiiiiiiiiiig high five to TJKV! :victory::highfive:;)

Installed SlimKat on Saturday... and having slept on the phone (for the 1000th time) on Monday evening my "already cracked for a year screen" has a big piece fallen out. Factory screens are so expensive here, that it just doesn't worth buying one... I'll probably upgrade to Sony Xperia V. Was thinking about Moto G, but don't like the overall quality and that it's not microSD expandable...

I think the Defy has almost the best support from programmers... Moto G will be the next Defy as I see, so support will be strong, but it just doesn't feel as rugged and as quality as my good old "Terminator T-800". I need to find a T-1000... :)

Great job TJKV! Keep the Defy alive!

Why do you install other gapps, what's wrong with the one I provide?
Because don't works, i need google play store but there is no. I tried to download gapps from slimkatcenter too (i don' remember if it call like this because i'm back to 2.3.6 :confused: ) but when i press download gapps it open a new white window and after 1/2 seconds it disappear and return to slimkatcenter. I don't konw if i'm doing or i understood something wrong about gapps. :silly:

Yes, you must be understanding something falsely.

In the post above your post there is a link to TJKV's SlimKat folder... in there you find: minimal_Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.x.zip

This GAPPS work flawlessly.
I'll retry later or tomorrow but I think they are the first that I tried to install. Anyway thanks :good::D

Thanks for the review...
I'm still on SlimKat 1.4.. Work as charm since I put it on couple of months ago...

Bit worried to upgrade to the latest as some people reported random reboots... or not being able to charge battery when the phone is off...
Any comments on that?

Regards
