i confirm the green led bug...and getting stuck if i try to get into recovery by vol dowm....but i manage to go there with "reboot in recovery" from power menu

DONT DOWNLOAD 110912 nighly
[Defy Android Development] :
Is it possible to remove it from the repo? Some users will miss this info and flash this nightly...
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
Is it possible to port the 2.2 Froyo nordic launcher to CM7? :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
No, since it relies in motoblur framework in all probability. Also, anything not part of AOSP can't go in a ROM that aims to be official CM ROM.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
DQ: So i did my time flirting with MS2Ginger and now I'm ready to come back into the CM7 fold. Zimble question - just flash CM7 directly from 2nd init and recovery or flash the UK rom's fixed SBF (since ms2ginger itself requires a flash SBF). Kindly do confirm.

else by the time i'd get there - i'd be bored of waiting and gone the 1st route for sure! :D

Thanks @maniac103 I didn`t saw your post you mentioned.

For anyone who want to know about how to, see THIS post from maniac103.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
removed, ive started to implement touchpad buttons like the recovery

but forgot to test it :p
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
epsy3 do you know if there's any way for me to access 2nd init recovery (can't get in via the blue led or the reboot > recovery menu) or do I need to start from scratch with a froyo sbf & reinstal.

Thanks :)

*edit I've gone for a fresh install.
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
I could use rommanager to enter recowery.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
CyanogenMod Settings/Interface/Power prompt is enabled? If not, enable to have reboot menu when power button is long pressing to choose reboot/recovery.

Has anyone else ever seen the following error after installing a nightly? I installed cm7-110913-0141-NIGHTLY on top of cm7-110911-1924-BOOTWIFI3.

Sorry, Process system is not responding.

Thankfully after pulling the battery and restarting the error disappeared.
[Defy Android Development] juan296:
Hi epsylon, i am on rc. 1.5, i have a problem .. skype isn't working.. PLEASE. Can you fix this bug? :)

I will explain better, i can install skype, open, but when i try "log in", i can see a error.. excuse me for my bad english
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yes wipe dalvik cache.. that can happen when frameworks is rebuilt from scratch after an overlay config change...
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
without the error i cant help you... and it works here
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Hi Epsylon3,

Was your reply in regards to the "Sorry, Process system is not responding." error or juan296's skype issue?

Because I did do a wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache before and after installing the nightly zip.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
dont have seen any force close (except gapps on first boot after upgrade) since last time i installed miui ;) and i make sometimes 5 or 6 updates per day...

so same answer and question... without log.. i cant answer you..
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
Hmmm ... I noticed interesting thing on RC 1.5 (not tested before) , using CpuSpy from Android Market I've noticed strange readings which looks like middle step

of cpu frequency 600 Mhz is not used or used very rarely less than 1% maybe ? See screenshots ... after whole 1 day and night ... I wonder why it works in that way.

Check yours readings using CpuSpy .
[Defy Android Development] billysa:
The disconnection problems wifi you can not really solve?

Or is it just my problem?
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
This is due to the governor. Smartass, ondemand use only extreme clocks, not the middle one, from what I have observed. Max perf uses only the max clock, max powersave uses only the min one. Conservative (and probably interractive) uses the 3 frequencies.

Another very puzling thing I suspect is that the default settings (ondemand, default freqs and vsel ) that are set after flashing a boot nightly or RC gives me longer battery life, on the order of 5%/night (8 hours, 2G only without wifi). After I tuned my cpu settings in the boot menu (using conservative and lowering Vsel), it seems that I am back to 8-10% per night. This is especially strange as lowering Vsel should increase battery life (or not change it too much, as phone should be deep sleep almost all night). Phone seems stable at those lower Vsel, not reboot, no bug, as responsive as before....but either some system process crached silently and then messed up battery saving features, or there is a problem with cpu settings itself that act in an opposite way it should....

There is a Defy+ branche on github. Did the 2.3.4 kernel work without 2nd-init?

https://github.com/CyanogenDefy/android_device_motorola_jordan
[Defy Android Development] stevellion:
Just wanted to say thanks for the build and rc1.5 is running nicely on my Defy. It seems more stable than 110830 and doesn't need additional overclocking. It's brilliant!
[Defy Android Development] russtyd:
Are we safe to install newer nightly(s) yet? ie, is cm7-110913-0141-NIGHTLY-Jordan able to get into custom recovery?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
We need 2nd-init for custom ramdisk.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I think you may are on to something here. I disabled completely the OC module from the boot menu, leaving everything to the Motorola defaults. The Android OS is now for the 1st time consuming less battery percentage than the WiFi itself. More tests to follow.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
@gkai and @ccav2000

No ... something is wrong I've changed governor to conservative and now only middle and higest setting is used ... hmm ... maybe cpuspy is bad ? :-) But deep sleep state is used heavily ....

@ccav2000 How to disable OC module on boot ?
[Defy Android Development] aliaslYn:
there is no market app and i cant login my google acc oO thats sad
[Defy Android Development] adida101:
I know you're just being careful or whatever, but do you seriously think Epsylon3 would have uploaded a new nightly with the SAME issue after being aware of such a major problem and removing the previous nightly??

In other words, yes the new nightly is safe to install :D
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
I have reached this conclusion (changing CPU settings leads to higher battery usage - even when your changes should lower it) after using boot179.4, RC1.5 and wifitest3. Initially, I got the impression of great battery life after 1st night. Afterward, it tended to average to 8-10% per night...In retrospect, I think that the good impression where due to the fact that i often forget to tune my CPU settings after a kernel update, because the classic nightly keeps the CPU settings. I do not have any systematic tests though, mainly because I am unable to find a tool that reliably report power consumption - the reports I have from the stock battery usage tool, from battery spy, CPU spy, .... are usually quite suspect, the main thing is that as soon as I use a GPS app (copilot), copilot is reported using significant power (main power draw or second one after screen) even after I kill it and stop GPS -until the next reboot...But the battery life is not so different if I reboot just before the night to avoid this problem, or if I just ignore this entry.
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Funny you mention about disabling the O/C module there's another post from yesterday:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17489940&postcount=23

Anyhow last night I did a full clean install from CEE sbf, put in all my original settings & suspend only showed 16 seconds of CPU over 7 hours, however this morning it looked like it was starting to spike so have, like you, disabled the O/C in the boot menu & suspend now showing low usage. Performance wise little or no difference.

One interesting point currently the dmesg log is showing only 1 error (not a suspend error either) when it normally shows more than 20 of which thee are quite a few -16 errors for suspend.

*edit just checked dmesg & it's now started showing some -16 errors so my previous interesting point might not be correct.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
yes, so sad...

so sad that we found this kind of question here.. :D

CyanogenMod doesn't include Google Apps,

a copyright issue..

just install GoogleApps from custom recovery..

and make sure you've been read 1st post, or CM7 FAQ thread.. :)
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
I've reached the same conclusion. I've also noticed that if you change CPU settings and then disable wifi, GPS, and data, the battery usage remain on normal levels.
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
It's different for me: what I check is night battery usage, and in the night, the only radio that is in use is 2G (I do not have any data plan, so I never activate data and I choose 2G network explicitely), wifi and GPS are switched off...Still, it seems to go from 4-5%/8h with default CPU settings to 8-10%/8h after I tune Vsel, frequencies and/or governor in the CPU settings in bootmenu....
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
Definitly something is messed up with boot cpu options - something in good direction and also something in bad .I set todays levels 300 - 600- 900 and governor conservative and my DEFY only works with two states max.900 and DeepSleep ??!!! I say more it is good config phone is extremly fast and don't eat a lot of battery . Hmmm ... very interesting isn't it ? I'm on RC1.5 .
[Defy Android Development] wyxpark:
After Installing the RC1.5, everything work smoothly, except the google maps. It's sometimes really laggy and was forced closed for unknown reasons. I tried wipe data/cache, and re-flash everything. It turns out not too good. Still has same problem.

What about you guys? Is everything fine?
[Defy Android Development] lamr:
With RC1.5 GPS seems to struggle to get a lock on satellites. Anybody else steering the same?
[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
hi

i would not use the conservative cpu governor, it's one of the standard governors in linux and even there, the ondemand governor is known to be the most power efficient governors.

Keep in Mind that the cpu doesn't necessarily uses less energy if its on a lower frequency because time is an important factor.

Mostly its better if the cpu jumps to full frequency, does its work and goes straight back to deep sleep instead of working at a lower frequency level but taking much longer for the work to complete.

greetings
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
With conservative governor on RC1.5 my DEFY do this - max.CPU -> deep sleep -> and go on so it is good ,and at least not so bad , yes ?
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
And 600 MHz is too low for almost every user operation with the phone, so it is almost not used.

And I don't see this OC discussion CM7 related, but 2nd init.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
I don't agree that this subject is not CM7 related - as far I know normal 2nd init don't have CPU boot settings menu ?
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
As far as I know, it does. :-)

Can i remove the built in launcher and the theme choser without any problem?
[Defy Android Development] camalus:
Make sure you have a new launcher installed first... then yes
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
and for better reason, after removing stock launcher (adw)

make sure you put your new launcher on system partition.

because you will get some trouble when accidentaly uninstall the new launcher.

(pic in the post) wiped battery stats from cwm, calibrated battery with the app, and on first discharge it lasted about 22-23 hours with the same usage, but not anymore :S im on the 110909 nightly, had the same problem since a week. and i noticed i have a sudden almost 10% drop around 30%... :confused:

Considering this post, if i'm tired of adw launcher, and want to install a new one to run with android, all i need to do is install it and copy it to system ?

btw... has anyone experienced some issue to normal calls using Defy?

i mean.. i use it almost like a tablet, afaik, it's the third time i use it to make a call(since i bought it almost a year ago).

Well.. in fact, it's the first time i use it after updating it from stock sucky 2.1.

AND, it's the first time i try to make a call since it was bottom-half inside a cup of water...

ok... straight to the point...

My phone works as normal, but, during a call, i can't hear anything in the normal phone, only on speakers...

is there any configuration? cos i don't see it making sense of water problems, since was only the bottom half, and the speaker, the "buttons" and the mic works perfectly....

i'm totally confused ATM.

someone?

I am having an issue with signal, tried the September 11th nightly but looks like it isn't solved.

If I turn on Wi-Fi, my carrier signal drops completely. I shutdown Wifi, sometimes it backs, sometimes only after rebooting I can use mobile network again (it stays without signal or get signal and keeps on "Only emergency calls").

Is someone else having this issue?
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:

[Defy Android Development] ori2:
I am having the same issue. It's happened on all the latest builds. But it's hard to reproduce the result because it occurs when I don't care about my phone. Often my device is stuck on unavailable network or I can't get a call and call ended immediately after pushing the call button. Does anybody experience this issue too?

I have just tried MS2Ginger and Defy+ roms from Walter. There are some bugs in them because I have green lense SOC camera. (GreenBreadMod installed)

For example corrupt geotags.

I read in cm7 changelog "Fixed geotags in the photos"

What did you do when you managed fix this issue? Maybe could help me on those roms.

2nd: There are same FM apps in those roms and in cm7. RDS data is working in cm7 but not in those roms. Maybe could I change some file to solve this from cm7?

If anyone can help me I wolud be glad.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
What exactly do you expect from future Defy CM development?
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
Imho CM7 is extremly good as it is already (using Nightly testwifi3), the only bug I have found is a translation error in french in CM settings ( no power widget settings while it is present in english - workaround is trivial), stability is very good (almost never hang not force close, although it is not as good with cam applications) and performance is 100% satisfying, I do not know what I would gain with a faster phone ;-).

What I'd like would be better battery life (it is much better since I stopped using cpu settings in boot menu...but I would have expected tohave better battery life while lowering Vsel....not worse ;-) ), better video/pic quality with SOC camera (for this I do not have too much hope before open bootloader and custom kernels), and faster GPS lock without aGPS (I usually do not have data when using GPS, so aGPS is not usefull in my case).

@defy devs,

can the auto-brightness in video recording mode be enabled ? Currently in this mode, the screen is very bright, and this drains battrey more, and kills the purpose of auto-brightness. some1 said this is not a bug, but an expected behavior.

If this is enabled on purpose, whats the reason behind it ?

I tried to enabling the auto-brightness by editing camera.apk file, but to not successful :( Or is this feature enabled in some nightlies after rc1.5 ?

Tried other apps for recording, but i see the stock apps records better, others are choppy/laggy recoding :(

I would like to see wifi calling added for one. Every other tmobile phone with CM has wifi calling.
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
I think you should get the **** *** of here. I hope official CM forum will open soon and the likes like you will get banned fast. Ther ROM is practicly complete and if you look at the changes on github you can see that epsylon and maniac writes thousands of lines of codes weekly. Because the changes under the hood doesnot mean the developement is stopped. I sould not get angry, but because of the ones like you the devs will get enough and leave. And then will be no development...

lgcamera is not choppy for me after i reformatted my card with 64K blocksize try to do the same it helped me

For that, we would need a knowledgeable user for testing. We're all three not from the US, so we can only add stuff blindly here and need someone else to try.

I'd also love to see Wifi calling added (its the only thing I miss about the blackberry) but hey the devs are busy enough already without us all adding our requests to the list. And the phone is damned good as it is.

Isn't UMA country specific? so just because it would work on T-mob in the US doesn't mean the same build would work for me in the UK on Orange.

I'd be more than happy to test - but I'm certainly not knowledgeable.:(

It looks like 'iammodo' is from the UK and on the Orange network so maybe he could be your tester as he's certainly more knowledgeable than me!
[Defy Android Development] camalus:
I am happy to test to get it working.

I just came over from a MyTouch 4g and spent a great deal of time getting it working correctly on cyanogenmod as well as other AOSP roms.

From everything I have been messing with, it looks like there are a few dependencies missing and thats about it.

A good place to start would possibly contacting Faux123. He develops for a few different phones, and has quite extensive knowledge of what needs to be added to get it to work.

Chances are... its a few edits to the kernel and walla. Hes very experienced in getting things working correctly in CM.

You can see a thread about his wifi calling patch here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069088

There are alot of people I am sure that would love to see this added to AOSP. Personally I live in the woods and rely 100% on it to use my phone... so I am stuck having to use the stock rom.

Anyway.. anything I can do to test and help I am willing to do.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I don't want to be the party poorer, but if edits to the kernel are required, forget it. The kernel is they one thing that cannot be touched on the boot loader locked Defy, only dirty hacks with external modules, but those have limits.
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
so to sum it up...u can only make wifi calling posible just by using the kernel from the us t-mobile sbf ?
[Defy Android Development] camalus:
If we are stuck using the same kernel that shipped with the phone, then it should be even easier to implement since WiFi calling is included in the stock phone from T-Mobile here in the US... and wifi calling works perfectly.

I am guessing a kernel from outside the US being used for CM then? I would guess thats probably what is causing the issue then, and could be cause for a simple fix to get it working for all of us in the US.
