Here is a test SBF version of MIUI latest (27/5/11) with English patch applied and including Swype and full battery percentage display too. Replaced data icons with sense ones as the green ruins the whole look!

Please do a nandroid first as i'm not sure if this even works on other peoples Defy. I tested and it works on mine.

To install:

You need to be on Nordic rom or be using it as a base for your current rom such as CM7 :)

Install my sbf through Moto flasher. Let boot. Report.

Note: May not be full English on first boot. Go to settings and re-set English language, reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache it seemed to do the job for me.

DOWN!Download me now!

Hmm seems to not work for others... I wonder what would need to be done differently.

Removed download link for now.

i think the problem is when we make a data factory reset from normal recovery which makes 2-nd init unusable. i am trying this baut for build spanish miui, and i think a method that would work is first install an original froyo->boot it completely->reboot to bootloader and flash the moded sbf. i will report back if works.

I tried it, flashed over CM7 without wiping and it worked. Then tried a full wipe with stock recovery and it sticks at the M logo.

I was on nordic 3.4.2.177 base before I flashed. After wiping had to reflash full nordic and tried again, still stuck on Motorola logo.

I think it would be greate&enough if we would have a SBF which only contains Custom Bootmenu so it's small and flashes very fast.
After flashing that CWM can be used to flash.

It's quite useful to have a SBF. If something is going wrong, let's say you'll try to put one nandroid which is not successfully applied or you by mistake wipe your phone using stock recovery you'll have to flash fist a Froyo SBF and then you can install 2nd Init and apply the nandroid, while by having the CM7/MIUI SBF you'll have only to apply it and that's it.

So, basically , it's for the lazy ones :) instead of flashing nordic, root, install 2ndInit and Miui, you just flash this sbf. 5 minutes less and a chance of bricking the phone. I'm going for the long way.
We should focus on finding and reporting bugs on the basic Miui, this would really help make a better release.
