Dont know about security and anti virus in android. Every application I install seems safe to the anti virus.

Just now tried the 720P camera mod and now Defy is bricked.......

Ha long day ahead

A quick question. I am on Stock 2.2 india sea 15, can i go ahead and install CM7 using guide on XDA forums? Or do i need to install some other froyo first?

I installed CM7 without taking any kind of backup and also did not change to any other ROM (eg. nordic froyo). No issues so far. Just had to change baseband and replaced ADB launcher with launcher pro. :D

Multitouch

Now multitouch works on defy. This has been integrated in the latest CM7 nightly. Now you can touch the screen with yen fingers and it detects all of them. :)

Yes, the warranty will be void until you reflash the original Indian Froyo. Once you do this, you can reclaim your warranty. Copying text is done by a long press or a hold on the text you want to copy, you should get the option then.

Custom ROM's

CM7

MIUI

I will check if i can update these links in the OP, that way it will be easier for new users.

Just updated OP, ant other GB ROM's out there, let me know, will update OP.

I'm going to install the latest cm7 nightly to see if it solves the wifi problems.

How do you install over RC1v2? Should I do a data/cache wipe or not?

Nope, just flash the zipthrough custom recovery. No wipe necessary.

If you use one of those leaked 2.3s, can you downgrade back to 2.2 using nandroid backup + fixed sbf?

Installed cm7 nightly. Wifi problems reduced but not totally gone :(. At least it now shows more than 50% reception when I'm super close to the router :p

Same problem :(

I'm planning to switch back to MIUI and install LauncherPro. I love CM7 but the email and wifi problems just kills it :(

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

Or heck! I'll just go back to stock froyo and install LauncherPro. Best option.
