[ROM] New stock Rom DEFY JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 UK

[Kribou]

It's not wrong at all !! The security holes that we use for custom purpose could be exploited by less happyfull people to control our defys... (such as PDF breach used earlier for jb of iPh4...)

On the other side, it would be easier to allow a regular root access that we can control via authentication mechanisms which would then allow a normal patching schedule of the security fixes...(just like on our desktops)

Let's be patient for a new root method...
What's the kernel version of this release ?

Cheers,
K

After using 2.51 for about a day now its does seems faster especially when scrolling a web page.
This root business is similar to the cat and mouse game with the HTC desire i own.
I think as stated in previous thread on udated to stop modder.
I think it was done for security reasons.

I highly disagree as an average consumer that a potential OS security hole (haven't heard or seen of any issues on that matter by now) is currently more important than localizing the root of a hardware defect (and stating it to the public) causing my mobile phone to become just a tablet....Regarding the "working really fast" part - after all the JIT enabling, overclocking and undervolting the only thing that *could* speed up the Defy is deBLURing the ROM...which obviously is not the case with the aforementioned one. Or, of course, having 2.2 on the go.

As far as security patches go company's don't usually advertise what in being plugged, that would be counter productive. And just alert people to the fact.
2.51 is a bit smoother scrolling. its not "working really fast"
It should really have shipped with froyo2.2 in the first place.
Why is your phone just a tablet now ?

No excuses. This update has been made according to the motorola's policy, they don't like "their" phone can be rooted.
Someone talk about a security issue's fix.. just think about the speaker could fail during an emergency call, THIS is a security issue.
We're far from the Froyo release, far from a snappy moto blur, all that i feel to say is they're focusing their efforts in the wrong direction.

 

[xmyszka]

Dev's any idea to downgrade ?
Maby like 2.34.1_DEBLUR ?

 

[xdaid]

There are several ROM available here:

http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

It looks like there's no way to downgrade from the new UK version to the older one.
Has someone tried to flash another sbf (non-UK) in place of the new UK 2.51?
Maybe it would skip the downgrade thing...

Die 2.34.1 Version laeuft wirklich super ohne den ganzen Blur Kram. Root sowie Recovery sind moeglich, und du kannst jederzeit downgraden, wobei du das nicht wollen wirst so gut wie das Rom laeuft.

The 2.34.1 Version is running really good without the crappy blur thing. Root and recovery are possible and you can downgrade if you want. But you wont do downgrade cause this rom is nice.

I think you'll find (if you analyse the difference between the 2.21 uk generic and 2.34 CE generic, which I have) from a system/app +framework point of view there is very little difference between the 2 roms - there may be other changes else where, but from a "blur" point of view it is only really the social networking that has been removed.

Possible soluion for downgrade

Here is a possible solution to downgrade for those whho has the unrootable DEFY JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 U: flash this : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/788286/soporte/Defy/JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0-system-only.zip

I think maybe it's possible to depack a rootable sbf (like JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0), and repack it with only the file(s) corresponding to /system filesystem. What is your opinion, could it work?

Then the one who flashed the unrootable sbf could try to flash that partial rootable-system-only sbf over their Defy and see if it let them flash

If you want I can try to do it.

EDIT: I finally made the sbf with only system, based on JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/788286/soporte/Defy/JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0-system-only.zip

Just purchased Titanium Backup Pro for the freezing feature to stop Amazon MP3 and News apps to be launched at startup, it worked like a charm by the way. Now with latest ROM being unrootable it does detter me from trying it.

After using my Defy for more than three weeks now I really think the device lags here and there. I found the dialer app to be the most noticeable app that lags.

When I restart my phone I'd often check the available RAM and often it is between 190 and 210. Considering each app is given only 30MB to use and more than half of the 512MB RAM is taken by OS and MotoBlur I would say too much RAM is currently being used just to boot the device.

Can anyone check to see what memory usage is like in the latest 2.51.1 ROM please? I've got a feeling part of the upgrade is memory usage enhancement.

^ Freeze those pesky motoblur social services, no.1 culprit for constant lag.

Edit: Bummer about the patch, if only they spent as much time on the actual UI..

New official version stock English rom for UK v2.51.1 released.

DOWNLOAD: Defy Rom v2.51.1

why the hell did i flash this! things were just getting interesting with the recent nandroid backups from Jboogie3.

Now i am stuck without root. i successfully flashed the 2.21 repack / system only, but bootup takes me back to the ready to flash screen again. I can put the 2.51.1 on again but i am so annoyed with myself for jumping into this version!

Any options or suggestions to get the 2.21 or 2.34 back on? cheers

Andy

 

[Damool]

Can't be done atm :/ I'd follow jboogie's twitter if i were you, he's stuck too so you'll know when and how he got root again.

Maby something new we found here: modmymobile.com Defy

 

[bihariel]

maybe some good news from goapk: http://translate.google.es/translat...&u=http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-48383-1-1.html

it seems to be a rootable repack sbf from 2.51 to be released tomorrow.

 

[florentm]

can anyone compare the speed of the 2.21 and the 2.51 ? is really less laggy ?

I am just using root for overclock thus may be the rom will be faster enough to live without overclock ?

 

[crazyVII]

Hey guys,

Id suggest anyone to update to this version. The phone really gets feelable faster, more responsive, and just feels like a new phone

A German phone also stays German
No settings, no Apps lost

Just great
Have fun and all the best,
