Rollingback 3D improvements...

Please guys! :(

I really want to rollback the "Some improvements in 3D..." implemented in RC versions and check if this improvements are or are not the responsible for my Defy's bad 3D performance.
[Defy Android Development] defyno1:
Do you want that they delete these improvements only because when you run A game it gaves you a 100% of usage??....Really?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
GREAT, really great - thanks.

Well I finally got my phone back early and I've tried 110719-0102 nightly (after a clean flashing and no user app) -like I said I would.

I've tested the Sim Tool Kit and still no luck; no English. :( It's problematic for me because I can't find a way to add contacts to my SIM card now...

Regarding the black screen and irresponsive phone after turning off the display with Screen Off and Lock (SO&L) apk: it's still happening.

I've noticed that I get the problem only if the lockscreen is disable --> with either Widgetsoid's 'Auto Lock' widget or with CM7's 'Power Control''s equivalent.

So for now, I'll just avoid using that apk altogether. I've already found a replacement that works perfectly and there are quite a few of them available on the market...

Now, I can't wait to try that huge commit that EP3 referred to. Over 5500 lines of code added; many commits on audio/video codecs and 3D rendering (for the previous guy asking about 3D): interesting to say the least!

WARNING! Nightly builds are highly addictive.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
read last page then flash latest nightly. it's fixed
[Defy Android Development] feh_pexto:
Hello! here I am with another newbie question ahahah.

Can any one tell me the diference between the stable, latest and custom recoveries? (in the cwm menu) and what's the diference between appling an backup and wiping data in theses 3 recoveries?

Thank you in advance
[Defy Android Development] thiagold:
No, you're taking the wrong way... I want some orientation in how may I rollback this improvements in my device only because I experience problems with 3D graphics in some (more than one) game. :confused:

Then I will check if this improvements are the responsible for the issue that I'm walking through. ;)

Or, with have another constructive ideia for I follow to, I'll be thankfull for your help. :)

Just for add: Another friend of mine is having 3D graphics dificulties either. But he rollback to stock ROM today looking for stability. :(
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
Nand backup current version. Flash an old one with wipe and check

if it works okay flash latest with wipe again then check again
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
i noticed that theres no regulatory domain setting in wifi advanced settings in todays nightly, and its probably on 11 channels by default because i couldnt find my wifi. is it on purpose? because if it is, you really should set the default to 14 channels!
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I think it's intentional.

Build.prop has this "ro.wifi.channels=" try adding 14 on the end maybe?
[Defy Android Development] thiagold:
I was thinking about this procedure. But what I really wants is just rollback the "3D improvements" on RC1v2 version. Is that possible?

Or, is there any other way to track what is happening while my 3D games is running to collect data?
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Lockscreen BUG?

well, I used latest nightlyes since RC1 and the last ones (from 10 July) have problems with the lockscreen. I made a call and, after the call it's ended, the lockscreen is activated by itself. It's a bug or?

No one encounter this issue?
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
why would it be intentional? if its set to 11 channels by default, a lot of people wont be able to join some networks...

[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
I remember that Epsylon said need to flash RC1 v2 before nightly to use newest kernel when you make a "clean flash" (something like this).

Did you apply RC1 v2 before last nightly?
[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
if its there on Froyo, too, than it's not a cm related problem...

why do you ask in here?

if you ask me, it looks like a hardware fault... :(

cm7-110719-0852-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip = no wifi :(

anyway nordic 2.2.2 has better wifi signal than cm7 or miui, absolutely!
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Settings/Screen/In-accurate proximity is enabled?If not, try enable it.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
For me, cm7-110718-0731-NIGHTLY-Jordan WiFi is more faster and stable.

Battery fast drains still but just when 2G is connected.

BTW 2G drains more battery than WiFi.

Did make a test to download a file (5mb) on both (2G and WiFi) and Wifi had no battery drain (1% battery step enabled) and 2G drains 3% in 10 minutes.

Tryied setting with baseband switcher Americas/Brasil Claro but not success, just stable and no problem with EUA T-Mobile 850/1700/2100MHz.

Maybe using EUA T-Mobile can be cause of battery draining but Claro baseband i have no data connection.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Just noticed on latest nightly clean install. Video cam flash doesn't work. Green lense. It used to work.

Ok its only on wide that it doesn't work. Fine otherwise. I remember its an old issue.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] Hocevar:
Can I use set vsel with CM7 ?

If possible, how do I disable the built-in oc.
[Defy Android Development] shorty66:
Set vsel will overwrite the inbuild OC.

I used setvsel to determine some good values. I then booted into recovery to set the values via the inbuild oc settings.

after that you can uninstall setvsel.
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
there are some things the built-in oc cant do, eg limiting to vsel1 when screen is off, and limiting to vsel2 when battery 20%>... so i use setvsel with disabled boot oc.

@quarx/epsylon:

i found this thread, dunno if you've already seen it or included it in cm7, but it would be quite a good idea!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
[Defy Android Development] Hocevar:
So I can just install vsel and it will automatically overwrite the built-in oc, I don't need to do anything to disable it ?
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
no, you dont!
[Defy Android Development] Gusar321:
Err, when the screen is off, the processor is mostly in deep sleep anyway. And limiting to vsel2 at low battery doesn't bring you anything, it's actually the opposite. One, because it simply takes longer to do things and two, because this prevents the cpu from going to deep sleep as soon as possible. Read this, it applies very much to our processor too: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/applications-power-management/race-to-idle.php

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I sure did ;) - noticed the part where I wrote: "I've tried 110719-0102 nightly (after a clean flashing and no user app) -like I said I would."?

Well, like I said I would was in reference to my previous post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15777252&postcount=8890 where you can read: "When I've tried and installed the problematic (for me) nightly builds mentioned, it was always over a stable RC1v2 setup; I did not try them after a fresh nordic flashing and RC1 install..." :rolleyes:

But thanks for the comment anyway.

BTW

[not only directed at you ;)] : I tend to write long posts; but there's no need to "Full-Quote" me; use those backspace and delete buttons!!!

Anyhow, time to give a shot at 110719-0852.

I just had a very bad experience with the video camera of 110719-0102: FC, black square preview of previous pic taken and a "Cannot connect to camera" warning...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Done!

Well, I guess that I'm just out of luck with nightly builds since RC1...

I've just tried the second July 19th nightly build and I got the exact same problems as with the fisrt one:

- videocam force closes big time!

- Screen Off and Lock is unusable when lockscreen is disabled

[and Maniac's language fix on Sim Toolkit doesn't work for my card :( ]

I've even tried replacing the Camera.apk with the one from July 11th nightly [which works wonderfully on RC1 - BTW] and I get the same FC, cannot connect to camera and activity in camera app is not responding, phone gets very hot...

So I really wanted to believe that the fixes in the framework would do it, but they clearly do not fix things for me.

Back to my RC1v2 backup using that July 11th Camera ...
[Defy Android Development] Darkaz:
Why the latest Nightly only support 2 point multiTouch ???
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks: I was just going to edit my last post to say sorry I forgot to test the multi-touch...

Answer: because Maniac brought some changes to it in order to correct the errors generated by multi-touch.
[Defy Android Development] Darkaz:
Is the multi touch module integrated in CM7?? Is it possible to change the number of point by myself??
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Multi-touch integration is a fairly new feature implemented about just a week ago- and that is still under 'debugging mode'.

And as far as I can tell, it has so far brought more harm than good.

If I may ask: what is motivating your need to have more than 2-touch registered?

Defy's display is great but playing Pong with 4 paddles against your cat.. ain't very 'feasiable' on that small screen... :p

And to partially answer your last question: go back to July 10th nightly (at your own risk); you'll get 10-I believe- and read the forum 's posts around that date: there was a way to push the implementation through adb or something...
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
That answer is wrong though ;)

The right answer is: Epsylon3 removed it for now due to the unresponsiveness of the screen on boot. You can tweak some file to enable it again - I don't remember the name OTOH though.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I stand corrected!

Sorry for pointing in your direction :o
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
you dont have to tweak anything, just download 'defy multitouch enabler' from market. and the ram optimizer i mentioned a few posts back works like a charm, the apps start much faster!

Which other kernels can I use with CM7 on Defy ?
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
Tested nightly 18 July and working a treat. Cant comment battery drain yet but records video and no lost frames at all. Was excellent quality!
[Defy Android Development] Hocevar:
How is the performance for you guys ? I gotta say I expected more, after I upgraded from the blurless Eclair ROM I was using I didn't noticed much of a improvement performance-wise, if anything I'd say it's worst, constantly getting forced crashes, had to remove my battery because of freezing quite some times, the interface is quite sluggish some times, and some games, like Samurai 2 and Battleheart running very poorly.

Am I doing something wrong here ?
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
In-game performances are great.

Interface ( appdrawer, i mean ) is a bit slow, but it's adw launcher imho. I've tried other launchers, i can't stop using adw though.
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
then somethings not right there, its waay better than the stock roms, runs much faster and smoother than ANY other android device ive tried so far. on which abf did you flash cm7? did you wipe all cache and data before flashing? i recommend a full reinstall (including reflashing the sbf), see what you get after that.

sent from my cm7 defy
[Defy Android Development] Hocevar:
This is the guide i used to install it.

New bug in last nightlies from 18/7 and 19/7: Zeam launcher don't show dock. Tried on nordic and TM_DE 179-6.1. On 16/7 works fine with fresh install and nandroid restore too..

if i use my phone to anything so tha screen is off than the 70% of battery usage is the screen and after 4 hours the phone goes dead, is this normal? is it because the 10 point multi touch (that i have never used)?

i use the 0717 nightly as i remember it was not the same in RC1v1 it was about 45-50% and the phone last more than 5hours in use :S
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
It's the video camera working? In RC1v2 the video camera don't work well...I think its time to a RC2...or maybe someone can make a patch to fix the RC1v2 camera

On the latest nightly the Defy will connect to my Bluetooth keyboard and recognize it as a HID device. Its not possible to enter text though.

The keybopard works with my PC and is reported to work with stock-froyo builds.

Please fix this.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Yes, video recording seems works in latest nightly builds.

I understood the RC releases are linked to the official CM7 releases.

But I agree about the patch for the video recording fix: RC1v2 for me is OK in all for daily use except for the video recording bug. Install a nightly for daily use is not safety IMHO, a fix for the RC1v2 could be the perfect way to wait RC2 with a complete and stable CM7 rom! :)
[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
??? what? No logcat output, not even the exact model or manufacturer of the keyboard?

Do you really think anybody has a clue whats going on on your side and magically knows how to fix it? ^^

[Defy Android Development] shorty66:
The problem is reported with other bleutooth keyboards too.

Give me instructions how to post a logcat and i will do so.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
About 3 pages ago, I've commented on (my personal) camera issues with latest builds (over the last last week or so). I have also suggested which camera works for me [on RC1v2] - red lens: Camera.apk from July 11th nightly.

So no need to ask for RC2 or patch to fix; we've also explained more than once how to do the substitution. But here it is again:

since I'm not sure it's ok to attach the file here or not...:

- download the nightly build and find the camera.apk in the zip [in system/app];

- use RootExplorer or an equivalent and mount that same directory on the phone as R/W;

- backup your original camera.apk on your phone and copy the nightly's one there;

- set the permissions of the file to rw-r--r-- [same as the othe apks in there] and set the ownership to root:root;

- remount as R/O and reboot the phone

Voilà! No more choppy videos.

I can do it almost as fast as a recovery zip from SD would take now ;)

Others would tell you to just flash the nightly altogether; but like always, end user experience may vary. No shame in sticking with RC1v2 ;)

You can do the same with other nigthly builds camera.apk and see want works best for you...

And again results described were with red (Bayer) lens here.

/ Cheers
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
See my comment above ^_^
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
It is difficult to me read all the new daily post in this thread, so for sure I just lost the ones that tell to replace camera.apk, otherwise I'd already made it. I though too that the changes were not only in camera.apk but also in other files.

OK, but know that this is clear I will do immediately :)

Many thanks!

Hello friends, i installed before a month the RC0 edition and i have problem because the stk tool didn't work, i have a clone 16 in 1 sim card and cannot change between the numbers, with the new RC2 version we solve this broblem or its only about dual SIM adapters? when we will estimate that have the new version to test because its very difficult to have two devices
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Copy only the /system/lib/libOMX.TI.Video.encoder.so from nightly.

It will fix video rec.

Future 2107 nightly should increase boot speed. :)

Yes! It works also keeping the Camera.apk of RC1v2! :)

WiFi performance

I jumping from 110717 nightly to the 110719, hopefully that will improve my wifi.

I was trying to download the nightly through my phone using my home connection(cable, 10mpbs) and my download speed was 1.17 kb/s!! now I'm on my notebook, at the same distance from my router(less than 2 feet away) and by the time i finish this post, download will have finished... less than 2 minutes at 850 kb/s.

I know my phone will always be slower than my laptop but... hopefully not that slow.

Is this the kinda of performance the others were expericing?

Dual SIM

I am using a MAGICSIM 3G, bought from amazon. Not sure it was Version 26th or 28th. Thanks to maniacs modification it runs now perfect with my DEFY.

I choosed the "No Cut" variant, so I could continue to use the standard sized SIM.

The second SIM goes between battery and cover with a thin wire. Maybe the cover is not water proof anymore, I don't care.

If there are any more questions, send me a mail, this is supposed to be OT.

then made all the process to install this zip "cm7.1.0-RC1-jordan-signed.zip" found in the thread

Everything was good except for the battery draining too fast...

So today, ive entered in CWM and wiped data/cache/Dalvik cache/Battery stats

installed the following zip "cm7-110719-0852-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip"

then the google apps

Well... now my battery is draining even faster and my video camera don't record anymore.

Looking at my battery app I saw that the MEDIA SERVER might be the cause

In 3 hours my battery lost 35% of its capacity (its an absurd)
