@maniac do you think CMX is evolving in right ditrction and can become enough stable to fulfill your definition of stability? Your opinion matters to me, that's why I'm asking. Your help would for sure speed up the process of making CMX the best rom ever. Especialy now when czechop found workaround for locked bootloader and Quarx is tweaking 3.x kernel. Please consider joining the team.

Thanks for your awesome work.

I tend to agree wiht the above, CM10 is makeing great progress, and i will probably try the next build from quarx when it arrives, however, in adtion to the above i would add:

I use a lot of websites and services that use Flash (BBC iplayer/video on websites) ive tried several methods, but i can never get flash to work, in browser ( shows a question mark in a box ) or in the BBC iplayer app ( video never loads, or it says i need to update the flash player)

The only downside is that sometimes the battery can drop fast, CM10 doesnt have the sudden drop from 30% to 19% that i currently have with CM7 ( using different batterys of varying vintage newest is 4 months old - all official)

the battery drops quicker with wifi off and conected to 3G - i cant use 2G as my network is 3G only.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I find that overnight, when it is supposedly in deep sleep, the wifi switches off (good) but then 3G switches on and stays on, causing extra battery drain.

Is there some setting that would fix this? I have looked all over the setting but did not find anything.
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
There is somewhere an option to use 2G only.
[Defy Android Development] mattia.b89:
a technical question: do nigthly versions, compared with stable 7.2.0, have some debug stuff enabled?

slowing down the nigthly?
[Defy Android Development] krkdesigns:
Go to Settings > wireless and networks > Wi-Fi settings > Enable Wi-Fi on during sleep

There is a option. Am on CM10 so it would be like the pic below.
[Defy Android Development] popadic022:
i try new maniac103 build and compare to fuzz new build and those 2 build are mostly the same (fast, stable, smoth, no bugs,... only battery life on my phone is bad, max 24 hour normal use, big battery drain). when disconect phone from charger (previously charged to 100%) battery immediately show 99%, and then after every few min battery drops from 1-3%. everything works like charm. good work.
[Defy Android Development] davwman:
Under baseband selection, there are three options for T-Mobile. What are the differences between all of them?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
It's certainly heading in the right direction. The thing is, I have only one phone which I use as a daily driver. You can call me lazy, but when developing on and for my daily driver and on the one hand there's a ROM that is practically bug free (as far as possible) and development to do is basically just the occasional bugfix and feature enhancement; and on the other hand there's a ROM that lacks features I need (e.g. delayed security lockscreen), is moving rapidly and is still buggy in some areas, I choose to use the former.

I know with that statement I sound more like a user than a developer, but given my

very

limited time resources (due to RL constraints such as work and family), I actually am more user than developer.

That's why I don't do CM10 development, at least not at the moment. It moves quicker than I can follow, and I find CM7 much more compelling to use on a daily driver phone.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a 3.0 kernel at this moment. It's a lot of effort to port all of the Motorola specific code over.

No.
[Defy Android Development] mattia.b89:
thank you
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Perhaps it's a silly question but is there any posibility to hide/erase „Videos” shortcut from app drawer? I know that it is just a shortcut from the same app like „Music”. For example CM10 doesn't have it.
[Defy Android Development] pkryger:
I'm not sure if it satisfy your needs, but you can use other launcher. I.e. HoloLauncher has the possibility to hide any arbitrary app from drawer. Perhaps other launchers has the same feature.

Today I went back to cm7 after a few months fighting with the lag on cm10, nice work here..

Cm10 is an awesome rom which needs a device with more ram, at least 1gb.. its a shame, but well, cm7 is the only way to make our defys a little more fast and smooth as the iphone is..

Anyways, thanks for keeping the cm7 proyect alive.. the last maniac build is really good
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
You can't delete it without hacking Music.apk (that would mean removing android.intent.category.LAUNCHER from activity com.android.music.VideoBrowserActivity in AndroidManifest.xml, line 211). If you don't want to do that, you can only hide it through the launcher.

@ maniac:

just a quick update on the sd/cam bitrates. I got the card a couple days ago and took a few clips while being in HongKong today and everything seems fine with recording with the default values. So I don't know if this problem is frequent with class 4 or not, but bitrate tweaking seems to be the solution in that case. I don't know either if some sort of cm7 bitrate settings option would be a justifiable new addition...maybe if 720 support for red lenses happens one day...

Anyway, thanks for helping me sorting this out. Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Danke, maniac.
[Defy Android Development] premaca:
Quarx build has 720p support on red lens already, we just have to enable it. I believe it should be same in maniac's also. Go-to system/etc and open media_profile.xml, inside the file just uncomment 720p encoder. The encoder starts with this line, " <EncoderProfile quality="hd" fileFormat="mp4" duration="60"> ". You can see the full encoder details are in comments "<!-- blah -->" just knock off those comments (it would be just "blah") and we are done. Restart and see HD option in camera recording.

hi, i'm preparing for my first flash on defy.

i noticed both xda and cyanogen's wiki have the guide for flash CM7.2. which should i follow?
[Defy Android Development] measel:
Use the xda guide.

It's fairly easy and the good thing: You cannot break anything. There is always a way back home. :) Have fun!
[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
First thing you should do is to download a stock sbf of your rom. So in case something goes wrong you could safely go back to clean system. This would prevent you from flashing wrong sbf in panic and ending in inability to use camera, or being stuck on too high bootloader version etc.

Looks like the two of us were in the same boat! I don't get it, I know I did the process perfectly yet so many report no problems while only a few of us have issues. Normally I'd say OE! But in this case I can honestly say I know exactly what to do and did it perfectly. Oh well...glad to see many others are able to enjoy CM7:)

On a side note, I tried a few other newer roms, and ended up back with jboogie's liquidarc as it's been so dang smooth and everything I use works perfectly (not to down anyone else's...they are all great and I can truly appreciate how much of their own time goes into these roms to give away freely - you devs all rock!).

Yeah, I think we are all wondering the same thing over on the Atrix side of the world. Quarx, if you could post something in our forum, or check out IRC channel #moto-atrix and give us a few tips and pointers, we would all appreciate it.

Mass Storage connection with USB does not work for me. I'm using 23/09 defy+ build with defy red lens/bayer module and Gb kernel (2.3.6 BL6)
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
I use my Defy+ with maniac's bulid (cm-7-20121008-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed.zip) for 6 days.

(+): smooth, almost lag-free (no android in lag-free 100%), the radio is perfect (can be controlled when screen is off with volume buttons), the 720p video recording is ok, the battery is all right (after 3 charging circles seems to have the same andurance like the stock-ROM), the deep sleep is all right.

(-): the default ADW launcher sux (in terms of performace: too much lag after a while). I changet it with ADW Launcher Ex or Launcher Pro and these 2 are better for sure.

Still need to update fonts.

Also, the bug with the screen that doesn't wake up during a call after the phone was at the ear and I need to use its menu (without closing the call) is still present.

OBS: I use 4 steps clock: 1200 MHz (63 Vsel)-900-600-300.

What is the difference between cm-7-20121008-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed from Maniac103 github and What is the difference between cm-7-20121008-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed from official CM site????
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
If I may risk an answer here (risk because I may be wrong so don't quote me yet but..):

what you get on cm site is a bot builder that compiles automatically all the devices specific commits that are coming upwards and all the general new fixes, tweaks or options that have been 'approved' by CM team and that will be used/applied generally to all (compatible) devices. Maniac's builds on the other hand contains much of the cm stuff he seems fit for us plus some of his own new tricks he creates or finds for our Defys. So to make it as simple as possible: cm are more general plain builds and maniac's:are his personal brews with sometimes kick to them.

Go back and read 3 or 4 pages back and you'll see that maniac was gentleman enough to list out some of the exclusive extras he brought to us.

And nothing directed against you here, but I still don't get why people seems to be so reassured by the words "oficial" and " stable" releases when there are nightly builds from a dev that are being actively maintained. I feel much safer using maniac103's "unofficial" builds because I know that any serious issue will get his attention really quick.... After all, he's an end user just like us [a very skilled one that is, but still...] and when one of the new tricks doesn't work, he always does whatever is necessary to fix or revert it.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
No, this particular workaround isn't included in any other build.

The workarounds in Quarx' builds are workarounds to JB-specific problems.

No, as it isn't needed. It's one of the adaptions to the RIL changes in JB.

The first post of this thread has a link for Gaaps.

tethering issue

I've just noticed a strange issue with tethering. I'm using Maniac's September 14th build (I know, I should update, but I'm very happy with this build) and I just noticed that when using bluetooth tethering I am only able to connect to https websites, not http ones. USB tethering has the same issue, and Wifi tethering doesn't give me web access at all. I've tried re-installing the rom, wiping cache and dalvik, but still no dice. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Any ideas how to fix it?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Wifi tethering is fixed in the last build. No idea about the http problem though, I see no technical reason for it to not work.

[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Thanks! I'll try updating to the latest build.

Interestingly, I just noticed that wifi tethering on my DEFY works perfectly (including http sites) when I connect from my Android tablet, but not when connecting from either of my two PCs. I wonder if my cellular carrier is somehow detecting what kind of device I'm using and blocking the PCs from tethering. Is that a possibility?

Edit: I believe my suspicion about the carrier was correct. If I change the user agent on my PC browser to anything other than Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer, I can connect to http websites. So I'll just use that as my workaround.

I noticed the same problem on White Rabbit 1.7.1 which uses Maniac's ROM as a base.

Edit: Speaking about problems... I also noticed 3 times (in 2 or 3 weeks time) that Clock time on Status bar is frozen. It just doesn't want to update, but if I receive a sms the time on sms is fine, or alarm sets off right and time on Locksreen is good too. After 2-3 lock-unlocks time in status bar returns to normal.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I think I know what the problem is; I'll fix it in the next build.

That's a well-known problem, likely a kernel one. It also occurs on the stock ROMs (both Eclair and Froyo).

I wouldn't worry about the md5sum too much, though, the zip itself is also checksum protected.

[Defy Android Development] measel:
you should probably be careful with the word LAZY around here. People are working hard to fix stuff, and for free.

PLUS it might not even possible to just upload a zip only with the fixes because the builds have to be compiled every time (i think).
[Defy Android Development] popadic022:
not "LAZY" to install rom, i must install all apk after that :) if i cant install only fix i will install rom :)
[Defy Android Development] measel:

[Defy Android Development] diogo.sena:
you don't have to wipe all after a simple update, thats insane.. and if you do.. use something to restore all your apps, like titanium backup, gobackup.. etc

i just wipe cache and dalvik, (i'm not sure if even that is required, but won't hurt)
