[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Just installed latest Nightly 08.08 build and it's very stable. I'm coming from official build and all I did was wipe cache part and Dalvik cache. I am yet to encounter any bugs...

Btw, when I was on Optimus one, in CM7 the VM heap was 32. When I checked in CM settings, on the DEFY, there were no values selected, so I just selected 32. Was the default value already 32 or was it another one?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The selected value on the DEFY is 40 which is not an option in the menu, so it appears as not selected.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Hmmm, until now 32 is stable. Can't say it's much different in performance than 40 but will continue to test ;). On Optimus one it was tested and restested that 32mb of VM Heap was the best option, but then again that's a prehistoric dinosaur compared to the Defy(ArmV6vsArmV7)
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
32 would work great also, maybe even better than 40

Hi,

Curious about applications being copied to the sd card “app2sd” option Or a sd-ext? Is this required and why is there not much detail about it in the CM7 Thread or the CM7 FAQ Thread?

I’m currently using the “cm7-110808-0622-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip” and everything seems fine apart from not been able to install any more apps or update any of the apps I currently have. I have had this issue before and basically did a full wipe data/factory reset to fix it previously. But I’m not wanting to do this often, so am curious what the best process is for preparing my sd card before I start installation of CM7.

This is what I have done previously:

1>	Full format of 16gb sd card using my PC, then put sd card into phone and do a format in phone just to make sure.

2>	I install - SBF 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC & SuperOneClick 2.1 & 2ndInit Recovery Installer 1.4_2

3>	Go into Recovery, do a wipe data/factory reset and then partition my sd card to create a sd-ext

4>	Install latest nightly & google apps.

Once this is complete I assume any apps I install will now be saved onto the sd-ext and this will free up space on my phone memory?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Can play better fruit ninja and various other games :))) with multitouch enabled. ALso i would like to see a launcher with multitouch support.

Small question. Im using stock messaging app and i don't have the enter button which normally will generate another line under to write. Instead i get smileys option. Other apps have so it must be related to the messaging app.how to change? I need this feature . I'm using stock keyboard.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Yep, it seems that the stock CM7 Android Keyboard loses the 'return carrier' key while used in messaging app.

I'd suggest you to install a second keyboard and refer you to "MultiLing" apk [from Honso] on the Market [and free ;)]. You will also need to install the language plug-in(s) you need; just look under related apps or search for [for example:] "Plugin English" [also from Honso].

Once you have those installed, long press the "To: " box in messaging and select "Input method" in order to switch to that keyboard.

Long pressing the body of the text [or the "type to compose" box, if you like] will not let you change the input method.

I use it myself because, although CM7 allows me to change the whole phone to Chinese, the Android Keyboard doesn't have it in its list of languages when the phone is set to English.

Hope this does the job for you.

Cheers.

Use RootExplorer, navigate to "/system" directory and mount it as r/w and

edit the "build.prop" file line: "ro.battery_light=true" to "ro.battery_light=false".

[around the middle of the file]

Save and remount the /system directory as r/o.

Reboot to be safe.

Fixes in cm7-110808-0622-NIGHTLY:

Overscroll color/method fix.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
just type in terminal :

setprop persist.input.multitouch_points N

and then reboot.

where N the number you want (2 to disable module, more to enable it).

That will be kept in your local settings. "persist" variables create automatically a file in /data/property

But multitouch is disabled because that cause a problem on first clicks at boot and sometimes on wake up (no reaction of touchscreen).

also changing variables in /system/build.prop works but will be reset on next update.

You can copy it or create a file named /data/local.prop to override default rom variables..

epsylon... what about dlna on cm7? I was trying different workarounds but anything work for me...:(
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Epsylon,

That is exactly one of the problems I'm currently facing. The darned phone just won't unlock. The notification LED would either be off or in green (no other color) and just won't unlock.

The ways i unlock it:

a. Leave it in the pouch for 2-5 min

b. (Works 100%) Connect it to the charger - the screen automatically lights up with the lockscreen.

Any ideas, what's happening?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Well, hello fast streaming again!!

I've mentioned before my wifi download speed problems and how I can get relatively decent download speeds using BOOT179-4 ONLY [any other build gives me crawling speed].

Well, I was reading about the Barebones ROMs and that gave me the idea of starting fiddling with the /system/app folder and try to remove some apks I do not use. I did this and BAM!! I almost DOUBLED my wifi dl speed results and now getting over 3000kbps!!! (-from max of ~1600kbps earlier).

[see the 1st pic attached -but ignore the high upload speed because I think that it is not accurate; I can reproduce the dl speed with another speedtest apk, but upload should be topped at 500-600kbps I believe].

I have yet to pinpoint which apk I removed (see the two other pics) is the culprit, but one of those apks is certainly screwing up my wifi speed.

So for people thinking that their wifi is not giving them the full power, I invite them to do the same and experiment in this matter.

Even the Vevo apk streams video without buffering now :)

Cheers!

Edit:

After a little more investigation, I found that the victim is (like I suspected) Talk.apk (from June 13th gapps). Making sure that the apk does not log on automatically doesn't do it and so does freezing it with TB; only removing it totally gets the wifi speed back. We all know how Google and my local government love story is.... That might explain some of this. So Chinese users be warned...

What is also nice after those changes is that upon reboots I no longer see and need to click "OK" on a SIM card popup window dialog. The radio signal gets registered right away and very quickly. For that, I suspect 9but did not confirm yet) the Stk.apk as guilty.

Sorry for my English, but I hope that you understand
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
It's most likely the SD card's fault. I remember on the Optimus one thread there were people complaining about sudden un-mounts which in reality it was actually the SD's fault. I had to change like 3 sd cards before I found the real one.

You can download from market SD tools and check OEM and ID and if you see chinese characters, or other characters other than the one's listed on your package, then you've got yourself a fake SD card.

Also, if your writing speeds are lower than the one's your Class suggests(in your case 10mb/s+) then it's obvious it's either fake or was damaged, had some clusters locked and reshipped unfortunately for new purchases :(

[Defy Android Development] Deonix:
I confirm multitouch enabled +2 points can cause sometimes hangs. When you power your defy is the most common hang. Sometimes when waking the screen. I installed boot179 from 29 over Rc1v2 and the hangs are gone.... still sometimes i sense in some apps like maps or games the screen hangs. It does not recognise the gesture. I am sure it's Android related and not CM7.

SDCard woes

I still think this is a problem of the DEFY, not the cards :mad:I was using an A-Data 8GB Class 6 in my prevoius phone (Samsung i7500 Galaxy, AOSP + CM7) and it

worked fine

there for over a year. The DEFY went crazy with that card, freezing every now and then, unable to unlock (only buttons would light up), pulling the battery many times a day. So I decided to buy a new card, this one is a Team 8GB Class 10, which solved the problems .. well almost. Every now and then the SDCard gets mounted in read-only and I have to remount in r/w via Root Explorer. It's not that bad and only happens once in a day or two days. Mind you the Team card is no knock-off, it has read speeds of around 23MB/s and write speeds in excess of 14MB/s (in the phone, not in a card reader)!

The fact that my old card works fine in another Android CM7 mobile phone makes me think it is definitely a problem with the DEFY, not the card itself.
[Defy Android Development] gangreu:
Yes i'm using cm7-110808-0622-NIGHTLY-Jordan...

Well i will try to elaborate, but remenber, english is my second language...

What i did:

Using Stock recovery wipe cache then data/cache

Flash SBF 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC

Root/rebot/SndInitDefy_1.4_2/rebot...

Using custom recovery wipe cache then data/cache

Using recovery flash zip - cm7.1.0-RC1-jordan-signed

reboot 2 times (I do not know if needed, but my last Android (HTC HERO) all developers recommended at least one reboot between flash anything).

Using recovery flash zip - gapps-gb-20110613-signed

reboot 2 times

Using custom recovery wipe cache then data/cache

Using recovery flash zip - cm7-110808-0622-NIGHTLY-Jordan

reboot 2 times

Install my apps/setting accounts....

Then i used my Defy until battery turn phone off, charged (off) untill 100%, battery calibrate (this time using app on market called Battery Calibration)...

That is it...

btw i'm using default CM7/Quarx voltage and clock, so no SetvSel this time on my defy. And automatic brightness (under CM7) remains untouched

Now i'm at 56% (1d 3h 41 min)

- Display 1h 53min

- Voice calls 20min

- Some text

- 3G still 100% on

- Wifi 5h 15m

- Sync 100% (Gmail/Calendar/Contats)

- FB and Twitter Sync OFF

... other minor things like 10 min on samurai II, 30 min mp3...

For sure my Defy will not see a flash for a long time from now
