This week I installed the Miui custom android rom on my Motorola defy and...it....is...Money. It has Cyanogenmod under the hood and a colorfull interface that is very customizable and easy to use. This is the second time I installed it on a Motorola Defy the only catch with this phone is that the OS was Gingerbread and the other phone was Froyo. Froyo had no problems installing. First I installed super on click http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/31432-faq-cyanogenmod-7/ and then I installing Defy 2nd Init from the Android market.. Then loaded the rom file from clockwork recovery mod which installed Miui. The second phone had Gingerbread, first Rooted the phone with super one click which worked just fine then installed 2nd Init from the Android market which also worked fine. But when I tried to install the rom from the sd card I got the message " Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) " I saw posts about down grading to froyo which works because I installed the same software on a older phone with no issue but it is completely unnecessary. The problem is that clockwork recovery mod is looking for a folder that doesn't exist in Gingerbread. To create these files you have to install adb. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html After adb is install plug your phone into your computer.
Open the adb command prompt
# cd /dev/block/
# mknod mmcblk0 b 179 0# mknod mmcblk0p1 b 179 1
reinstall Defy 2nd Init from the android market. boot into clockwork recovery mod and your sd card is recognized. You are now free to install any custom rom you like. I recommend Miui.
