CyanogenMod 7 Ported To The Motorola DEFY, And It's Basically Usable

Posted by in DEFY, News

Yesterday we told you that cvpcs managed to find a way to put together a CyanogenMod build for the DROID X, despite its locked bootloader. It turns out that the DX wasn't the only locked up Moto device that was getting CM-ified, as Quarx over at XDA has ported CM7 to the Motorola DEFY.

This build is basically usable as a daily driver, with everything aside from 720p video capture and WVGA photos working. Considering it's still listed as RC0, that's not too bad - but it still has some bugs to work out, according to the source thread at XDA.

If you feel like giving this a shot, head over to XDA for the download, installation instructions, and any caveats that you should be aware of.

Thanks, Paul and Nikos!

Can you you tell me why this doesn't run flash?" and handed Cam his Optimus S.

      Glad we got 2.2 in the US already for the Defy. I've had some issues with wifi since the 2.2 update, but overall it's such an improvement from 2.1.
