Ahhh... MD5 error again!

I will download from another mirror and retry... 3rd time luck perhaps.

Ooops.. My fault i extracted the zip as usual and flashed the original file again.

The new file that gets added to the goapkrev\backup folder is called 2011-01-16.20.47.00.

I will try again.

It flashed correctly (now i chose the correct file).

The animated boot logo is the best i have seen on any android (almost makes you want to keep rebooted the handset just to see it.

Market works fine (which is a relief as to me it is very important)
WIFI working fine
No issue with 3G/GSM
Camera works perfect
Camera flash also works EVERY time
Battery life seems superb

I will continue to test for the next hour but based on initial impressions i think you have finally cracked it for us! - We now have a fully working froyo rom for the DEFY!!

Well done! Thanks very much for all your hardwork with this one.

The rom is excellent, i have tried out as many apps as i could and the only very minor things:

I would have preferred vertical apps list rather than the horizontal scrolling - not sure if this is a setting a user can change or not though.

The grey theme is a little hard to see in some places if the a box is ticked or not.

Initially felt a little sluggish and not quite as responsive as other froyos but having clocked it up to 800mhz/66vsel and it feels much better and i am now very happy with performance.

I have a couple of google email accounts which are fine, but there seems to be an issue adding other non-google accounts though.

For the first time in about 3 weeks i am happy that i took the plunge and upgraded to 2.5.1.

Excelllent work! Think i will be keeping this one (or at least until we get a 2.3).

Cheers

Andy

-the horizontal scrolling can be changed on adw settings.
-you can flash the stock theme, if not like the custom one..
-for emails you can use k9 app or other app for emails.
thanks for testing.
