Hi there,
I'm very rookie at this developing stuff however I've tried to upgrade my Defy+ from 2.3.6 GB to 4.0.4 ICS using CM9 nightly Custom Rom.
I've experienced many issues on the process but the phone seens to be stable now, everything is working fine.
I have some issues regarding the CM9 ICS and really hoping that you guys are able to help me in reach the ideas I need, here it is:
1 - I've changed my touch screen and in the procedure i left the light sensor kindly covered with adhesive eek. In the Ginger Bread, when I was in a Call, the screen gets off and I was able to turn it back on pressing the Power button, at ICS this doesn't work.
2 - Regarding the above, I'm wondering in extract the Phone and Contacts applications from the Retail ROM in order to try a solution for these and because i was familiar with the appearence of it. Is that possible? It should work?
3 - I'd loved the Swype and Keyboard interface of the Retail 2.3.6 GB, is it possible to bring it to the CM9 ICS? How do I do this?
Many many thanks for the reading!
Marcelo
There is any how to install the official 2.3 GB motorola Aplications on the CM9 4.0 ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on GingerBlur v4.5 right now and kind of want to update to 2.3.4 (some little things in GingerBlur just don't seem to work very well -- phone doesn't vibrate when I receive text messages, for example).
I'm aware that I need to go back to stock and then do the OTA update, but would doing so stop me from being able to root/theme? I'm excited for CM7 to be released, but kinks are still being worked out and I don't want to install anything that isn't at least in the "beta" stage, which I assume to be relatively stable.
Would reflashing (?) GingerBlur fix some of the issues I have or should I update to 2.3.4?
Also, is there any way to 'theme' Motoblur? I know of ADWLauncher and things like that, but I'd like everything else to look as close to vanilla Gingerbread as possible as well.. many thanks
When you say stock do you mean AOSP or Blurred 2.3.4? CM7 is the only thing sporting 2.3.5 that I'm aware of.
The latest stock version from Motorola is 2.3.4.
Sorry guys, meant to say 2.3.4 -- I've edited the post/title accordingly.
Hello guys I've just installed 2.3.6 official rom on my SGA. I've noticed some thing that really bugs me... The lock bug. I had 2.3.3 on some time ago because 2.3.4 had the same thing when you unlock your phone it laggs so much that you have to wait like for 2-3 sec so you can work on it. Not long ago I installed 2.3.5 which was even worse from 2.3.4 so I downgraded to 2.3.3 and last few days I've noticed a new version of stock rom was released the 2.3.6 which works better then 2.3.4 but still laggs... Does any one know any solutions how to fix it and please don't advice me any custom rom cause I like the stock. My homescreen is almost empty and the device is clean so I should be a problem in some app or something .
So any solutions?

I ve just installed it root, v6 supercharged, loopiness tweak, cf root, a2sdgui and changed modem to DXKPD and boy its superfast and of course no stock bootanimation. Try it
EDIT: I also remove quite a few apps that are in the system that can be installed on sd.
Hi guys,
I'm sorry before.
I've updated my XMP to ICS 4.0.4. I think the UI of ICS is not as good as GB.
- SMS (GB is more like crystal-clear, ICS just a solid color)
- detail contact (just flat view, very different with GB)
And there are many apps that crash (unfortunately closed) or not responding. I often pull out my battery to restart my phone.
When i set date and time, after i select date/time then click set, it always not responding.
Soooooo .... I decide to reverse it back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 :crying:
Is there any firmware of ICS that solve my problems above? or i should just wait the official update from SONY?
just sharing with you guys ..
Thanks.
Which Rom did u use?
I think not because this problem is to ta related to compatibility of APIs app that still exist are not built to run on ICS. Bug on the time I do not know. But I see that ICS is not being high wattage. Because it causes the power consumption of application and hardware.
Official ROM
I update my mini pro with official ICS from Sony with SEUS.

Try flush ROM v2.
I think its the best ROM available.
Believe me its good.
After installing just try face unlock option that's the only thing missing in that ROM.
Hi guys,
(sorry if my words aren't clear, please tell me if any of what I say isn't undestandabble)
Yesterday I installed FeraLabs ICS v2.2 ROM in my x10a. Great ROM, I fell in love with android 4 and cyanogemod, it was my first contact with both. But I had some problems using it, some apps not working, others freezing the entire system, can't send SMS etc. I know that probably most of these bugs already have fixes, the ROM is being developed etc, but I decided that it's not for me yet, this is my main phone and I need it rock solid for day to day use.
So I decided to try some GB rom. But there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I couldn't find a thread answering what's the best for my case, so I'm gonna ask fro suggestions. =D
Here's what I need:
- A stable ROM, fully compatible with my x10a;
- Based on cyanogemod;
- If possible, faster than stock 2.3 ROM;
- If possible, less power-consuming than stock 2.3 ROM, but it's the least important feature (got a 3500mAh battery);
- I personnally don't like the Sony UI improvemments and general bloatwares. I like google default apps and UI. Also used a LG p500 for a year, liked a lot the LG punctual customizations;
- It can have bugs about video recording, I don't use it much;
- It can't have bugs with 3g, wifi, calling and texting (hehehe);
So, what flavors should I try?
Thank you all. ;D
Donut HD 2.2 it's faster than stock and cm and works perfect with good battery life 2

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Looking at the instructions in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999560&postcount=1167). Will it run OK with the feralabs kernel that is currently is installed in my system? Shouldn't I change hte kernel?
If yes, what kernel should I flash?
Hi guys,
I flashed doomkernel, booted to xRecovery, installed the doomkernel wifi module from zip, booted again to xRecovery, installed the donuthd, booted again, installed donuthd, booted to xRecovery and installed donuthd update.
It's really fast, I've never used and android this fast. I'm currently installing my apps, wanna see if it will keep great at night. =D
But I've seen a problem:
My sms messages aren't being delivered, just like happened with Feralabs ICS 2.2 rom. Anyone got this problem? Does this have some relation with my phone being a x10a (and now it's appearing in in my system settings as x10i) ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
Today I cleaned up my phone and tried to install donutHD + doomkernel again. Everything worked ok, except sending and receiving SMS messages. So I flashed back 2.1 stock firmware and 2.3 (GB) stock firmware, and SMS sending/receiving worked fine again, in both versions.
Does anybody has any clue about what can be happening? When I installed donutHD (about 3 times), I was in 2.1 stock firmware, root/busybox/xrecovery from Flashtool (newest version). The same problem ocurred with the Feralabs ICS v2.2 ROM with feralabs kernel for ICS.
I also tried to flash the 2.3th kernel n5-1 (comming from 2.1 stock firmware), but it got frozen in SE screen, during boot. Even xrecovery couldn't open. =/
=========================== edited:
Problem solved: As observed I was upgrading from 2.1 stock ROM to DonutHD. Doing this upgrade coming from android 2.3 stock ROM, the SMS sending/receiving works like a charm. =D
Hi,
I want to help my friend by updating his Streak 5 to Jelly bean.It is currently running stock Froyo, Can anybody point me to right direction how can i start with it or give references to important threads. Thanks.
P.S I successfully rooted my Huwaei Mi 410 phone to Jelly Bean, and now my friend wants a taste of Jelly Bean too. Thanks. :good:
We haven't even got a fully functional ICS ROM and you want Jellybean?
*laughs*
Our developers have to get ICS working first before we can even think of porting Jellybean. It's not easy, because certain drivers are missing their sources and Dell cannot release them.
You may not be able to get ICS or JB, but you can get GB 2.33 from the Olleh ROM.
It works well enough.
Peace
The Olleh ROM has a lot of issues that were fixed in the DSC ROMs based off it. So I'd install a DSC ROM instead of Olleh.
