Enjoy. I will working on a custome rom. when it's release will let you know.

The Chinese recovery just bricked my #Defy. Be careful guys, I am looking into what happened now.
That's strange. I made sure to test it before reposting here and it worked just fine. Hope it's something simple!
I've found the recovery to be a bit hit and miss. It always works the first time after a fresh ROM flash / custom recovery install, but after that it may or may not put me into a bootloop it seems.
Still no problems here. I have backed up and restored several times testing jboogie3's ROM without issue.
I just came across an interesting clip. It seems that we will soon see a custom froyo of our beast.
It looks like a custom bootanimation with adwlauncher...
The new version worked perfect here too.
I did backup, restore of @JBoogieBop ROM and restore of my backup. Everything works fine.
Now, just waiting for @HandlerExploit ROM.
