UPDATE: After a few additional tweaks to the framework, this rom appears to be working for both green and red lens defy users. I've personally used it as my daily driver for several days this week, and found it to be stable and very usable. The one thing that does not work for me is the GPS, and quite honestly, I haven't had time to look in to it.
Here is a complete, working port of PARANOID ANDROID 1.97a for Defy. It is based on Galaxy S2 PARANOID 1.97 and Epsylon's CM10 1208. This is NOT a simple port using the port tool and includes the Framework changes necessary for the hardware.
I take no responsibility for any consequences from your decision to try this rom, and being based on alpha releases, I'm sure there are other problems, but I've personally used this rom for a prolonged period of time and the only problem I've had was with the GPS not locking.
Few things to note:
1. No offense to anyone, but this thread is not for complete noobs. While I will try to help when I can, I cannot promise any level of support. If you don't know how to flash via CWM, this is not for you.
2. This rom is based on the Froyo kernel and has been confirmed to work on MB525 with green as well as red lens. This is no guarantee that it will work on YOUR phone.
3. I intentionally used 1.97 as that version was very stable on my Galaxy Nexus - much moreso than 1.98 or 1.99
4. I've cleared the PARANOID defaults that most of the other PA roms come with. You can manually change the individual app settings under Paranoid Settings, or via the \system\etc\paranoid\properties.conf file which stores a record for every app including DPI and Layout.
5. After installing this rom, I "supercharged" it using a v6supercharger script (link below) and it did seem to help make the rom smoother and more responsive.
Special thanks to Epsylon3 and Quarx for their work on CM10 for the Defy, and Molesarecoming and D4rKn3sSyS for their work on PARANOID.
Thanks to brajesh.sharma87 for pointing out the bootloop "gottcha" of simply recompiling the framework (for specifics google "framework recompile bootloop" and read the first thread that comes up).
I strongly encourage any/all of you to contribute (make donations) to these developers.
Make sure you're on Froyo kernel. Boot in to CWM recovery. Factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik. Install rom, followed by gapps. Wipe data/cache/dalvik again. Reboot (should take about 2-5 minutes). Install and configure the v6 script. Enjoy!
