That's a tricky one to answer in a CM7 thread, but I'll try my best :)

CM7 was the most developed ROM on the Defy when I started looking to ditch the Blur. Cyanogen is a name I've seen around for a while, so it seemed the logical choice at the time. MIUI was really the only other gingerbread ROM, and it looked too iPhoney for my liking.

I've kept pretty much up to date with CM7, installing nightly after nightly, and loving every minute of it. I've had very little in the way of bugs or problems. There was just one small niggling issue though. CM7 comes with OI File Manager, but is packaged in such a way that the app cannot be updated in the market. The developer of this gave a list of commands to mount /system and uninstall manually - which is fine I guess, as I do that at the same time as removing the camera shutter sounds.

That procedure was taking up time every day, and I also found that once I'd done this, my market was missing apps, and the web version showed incompatibilities (I have another thread open on this in the general forum).

I decided to try MIUI, but kept in mind WajkIUI as it looked more appealing.

I hated MIUI. It looked quite nice and all, but seriously - where's the app drawer? If I wanted all my apps on the homescreens then great, but that's one thing I disliked about iPhones. I kept it on my phone for about an hour.

WajkIUI on the other hand, is excellent. It seems fast (Quadrant scores on a par with CM7), and the battery is so far holding up to a similar standard. The overall look and feel of the ROM, within settings etc is clean and simple, and really looks great. I love the double notification area with a separate tab for the power options.

It does have issues, as do all ROMS. The lockscreen isn't programmable being my main one - CM7 would see me having shortcuts for the camera and torch, but WajkIUI (and I assume MIUI) are hard coded to shortcut only to the dialler and messaging apps. I can hold the home button for the torch, but have to keep hold of it.

I've also never been a big fan of Launcher Pro, but when using a custom ROM, or indeed a standard stock ROM, we are always going to be governed by the developer on which launcher is built in (I was never keen on ADW either :¬P).

Would I go back to CM7? Yes. It's more of a developers ROM in my opinion, but has a lot of great features.

For now though, I'm more than happy to stay on WajkIUI's ROM.
[Defy Android Development] neogsantos:
It didn't work...

My phone lost the signal. I dialed the code and entered in the Test menu

Well... the the network was set to CDMA only then I changed to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and it nothing happened. The phone was still in the CDMA only.

I tried to turn off the radio BUT nothing hapenned too!

So I reboot the phone and still have the problems

Did I do something wrong?

1 - Flashed nordic sbf

2 - rooted and installed CWM

3 - Installed the latest nightly (then I got stacked on moto logo)

4 - Wiped all data and cache and dalvik and battery stats

5 - Installed the CM7 RC1v2

6 - Installed nightly again (this time it passed the moto logo)

7 - Installed GApps and Swype

What have I done wrong?
[Defy Android Development] enigmo:
Quick question, what if I want to hard reset my Defy and the 'tap the lower right hand corner of the screen' but in the !/Android screen doesn't work? Tried reflashing with Froyo in RSD Lite already but it just sits there at the metallic Android logo screen. Left it for about half a hour and didn't move on.
[Defy Android Development] simon211175:
have a quick try of the volume down button.
[Defy Android Development] enigmo:
Hang on, stand down... Turns out the lower right hand tap is for 2.1. .2 and over need vol+ and - presset at the same time.
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Great conclusion simon211175!

especially your sentence: "I've kept pretty much up to date with CM7, installing nightly after nightly, and loving every minute of it" is the same sentence in my head.

For me it is just annoying that my pictures are deleted from time to time. The battery drain becomes bigger again and I have so many freezes that I can pull my battery with one hand out and in again while driving car (had often freezes with google maps). x)

*sigh* but the many features are really great! Never want a stock ROM again. CM7 is a crude golden egg I think :)

I try this "unknown" WajkIUI's ROM but keep always one eye on the cool CM 7 habbid ;)
[Defy Android Development] simon211175:
I've never experienced these issues. I can imagine the pictures being deleted would be very annoying though.

Do you run the battery calibration app when flashing a nightly?
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Yes for sure. I don't know. It was mentioned that some new features take more battery?! Especially the (not working) wifi tether are for me strange issues.

But it was discussed and is a known bug that pictures get lost, because of the thumbnail generation issue...

Don't know if other guys have so many freezes like me?!
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Try to read this post HERE, is the FAQ by Antony.PS in Portuguese.

[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
Back days ago,

when someone replies and reports about wifi problems, I didn't really get attention about it,

because I was using compatible wifi router, and works perfectly with my phone.

But now, I know how they feels.

I have moved to new work place, and I get different wifi router.

And now, the wifi often disconnect itself after about 30 seconds.

And it is annoying.

I don't know this is Defy problem or just CyanogenMod ROM.

Do you guys have any workarounds for this problem?
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
i just instaled today`s nightly...tathering works excelent

even tested with speed test on pc and i have 7.2 Mbs

guys u are briliant :X
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
As I see there is no voice input function in CM7. Web browser has a microphone button but miss Google Voice Search application, and keyboard has no mic button even I set it showing.

Is this absence because of CM7 (2.3.5) or Defy?

By the way is there any solution to use voice search and input on CM7?
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
I guess you'd need the gapps package, which is listed in the original post.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
I never had wifi problems too, but since cm7-110806-2055-NIGHTLY-Jordan wifi disconnect and reconnect after 30 seconds and sometimes don`t find signal.

The only thing that i done and worked, is change WPA to WPA2 and setting channel back to 6 (Was setting to 8).

2 days a go i flashed Brazil 2.2.2 retail to test and had no problems with wifi so I think it`s CyanogenMod wifi modules problem.

In home i have a D-Link DSL-2640T and in office D-Link DIR600 and DIR 615 (in the 2nd office).
[Defy Android Development] h9s:
Wifi problem used to be coming from the router, i got these prob with Wifi N router, with other router it"s flawless. But With N router you just need to update the newest firmware and it's solved.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Latest nightly has really poor scrolling in settings. Can someone else also confirm this?
[Defy Android Development] drwario:
Considering v6 supercharger script. Will it work? Or should I even bother? I should say
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
Yes, I can confirm it.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
You can change the lockscreen in the theme configuration. There are many different styles.
[Defy Android Development] mussio:
Has anyone successfully used USB tether? actually connected to web?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes, it works.

Just plug it into your computer, enable USB Tethering in Settings, wait for computer to configure itself, you are good to go. WiFi Hotspot isn't working yet of course.

And I too find scrolling to be jerky in the Settings screen.

issues with corporate sync

just a question, I have issues with corporate sync (for exchange email) on the official SBF in both Eclair and Froyo. I would like to install CM7, but prior to that wanted to check if exchange email function works fine on this. Since my emails working fine earlier on windows and HTC wildfire...

Thank you..
[Defy Android Development] mussio:
Windows 7 doesn't configure my connection all the way is there any specific instructions I'm missing?
[Defy Android Development] totti123456:
with the latest nightly seems so far that the "wifi stuck" (shows connected but actually cannot oen any page or download anything) has been fixed...

yiouououhhououou!
[Defy Android Development] businessman9:
0816 reboot twice today!!!!!!!!!!!

back to old nightly...
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I can confirm that too. Leaving the device with 3G+data on system did a soft reboot and asked for PIN once more.
[Defy Android Development] russtyd:
Yes, multiple problems, including WLAN not connecting to my Netgear router (

never

been an issue before, and forgetting network/re-entering password and clearing wpasupplicant didn't resolve it)... when I tried to re-flash back to "old" zips (0815-2122, 0813-2132 and 0809-0713) I kept getting FC on USB module despite clear cache/dalvik.... had a nandroid of 0814-0202 which is running nicely again, so my nightly of choice atm....
[Defy Android Development] MooonWalker:
I can confirm that the 814 nightly is very-very good.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I recommend you guys stay away from the latest nightly. I even posted the issue on github. It's pretty big and I'm sure epsylon and quarx saw it, but I wanted to make sure :).
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
right now im on 110808 and im quite satisfied with it. whats the difference between 0808 and 0814? should i upgrade?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Same here. Any way of getting the logcat output for such restarts? I know how to get it for an FC of some application because the rest of the OS is still running...
[Defy Android Development] MooonWalker:
Because i had never big problems with any CM7 nightlies at all,

i am watching the battery drain mainly.

In 814 this is great somehow i think.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I don't think you actually need to do that :). It's easy to reproduce and cyano team will surely fix it ;).
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Ah okay :)

Part of the reason I asked was because I thought I'd explore the android sdk and adb, see what it is all about. I thought getting restart logs may be through adb, so it'll give me a starting point to get into it. Anyway I'll do that maybe after searching these forums a bit...
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
can somebody pls upload the apk of the navigation app? i accidentally deleted it! :S
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
You can easily install it from Market. If the app it's not available for your country/provider you can use MarketEnabler. ;)
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
thanks! believe me, the first place i looked was the market, but i wouldve never thought its not available here...
[Defy Android Development] enigmo:
Installing Nightlies using CWM

Is there a way of installing the nightlies using ClockworkMod? I can download a nightly, but when CWM tries to reboot to it's custom recovery I only get the standard one. I do have 2ndInitRecovery installed. Other than that, what's needed?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Actually, it's not that easy to reproduce. I had it maybe twice in a week. As the logcat is lost when system_server crashes (which is what's actually happening here), it's not easy to find the culprit.

If it happens for anyone when the phone is connected via USB, the best idea would be letting 'adb logcat' run all the time and post the output after the crash.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
On my device, leaving 3G + data on would always result in a restart ;). That's why I said it's easy to reproduce.
[Defy Android Development] Andrew-droid:
Hey,

The compass is kinda off, and the steering on raging thunder keeps on going all the way to the left when my phone is straight. On other games it works when it can be calibrated.

It's as if the sensor has a bad calibration, but better than previous nightlies.

I'm on 2132 from 110813.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot.:rolleyes:

Its more than 1000. Thats all that are reporting.

Minor Bug= Either no flash installed or browser doesnt support it. I dont think its installed though.
[Defy Android Development] xabierd:
Flash 10.2 from market runs smoothly
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Finally decided that this would be stable enough for me to use day to day...I've only had my Defy for 4 days and it only had the stock rom on for the first hour lol.

All my apps and games work...they fly intact. My camera works good (obviously still 5x zoom problem and no video). Launcher pro plus runs super fast. I'm glad I bought this phone.

Would love to donate to Quarx I can't imagine how many hours he has put into this. He is putting other developers to shame with the speed of making this work.

Only major bugs seem to be,

No video camera.

5x zoom messed up but who uses it?

Missing FM radio. (Not major to me)

Its great great great.

Sent from my Defy.
[Defy Android Development] danielck78:
Yup....good and stable enough for daily use. Been using it for the pass 3 days. So far so good. The only major thing for me now is the video camera. (love to take videos of my little angel) If he can fix it soon it will be perfect. Don't need the FM radio, our stations here sucks.
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
I can record Videos..
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
Really? How? :S
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Install lgcamera from the market and look

So it's possible....now Quarx should implement this in the basic camera. I think its a codec problem.

Greets from germany :)
[Defy Android Development] viper.:
Tried that already and it doesnt work on red lense ..(i have camera fix)
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
On green (yellow) it works.
[Defy Android Development] viper.:
well i didnt write this above... it works but i cant play any video which was recorded with that camera :( Its useless right now
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Tell me the options for recording video on LgCamera.
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Use RockPlayer
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:

[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Works with mpeg4 too with the same settings
[Defy Android Development] pedrodh:
@Quarx

Sorry to be bothering you with this, but I pulled android-framework from cyanogen, and then add your sources to ..../device/defy. Then I tried to compile and got an error. I'm wondering, is there need to modify something else from the android-framework to get it to compile? Related question, what's the difference between your branched android-framework from cyanogen' one? I ask this because I didn't notice any difference, or maybe I didn't look close enough. Btw if you could add me to gtalk would be great, so I wouldn't need to ask this here on the thread.

I was going to send it to you through here but it seems that we can't attach anything to personal messages...

But since this is a free apk from Google, it is really easy to find...Have you tried to Google it? I just did and found tons of links for it...Here's one anyway: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/google-maps

Don't know how trustworthy they are, but it all seems legit.
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
thanks, but already found it on market (turns out it automatically downloads with google maps). but now i get fc everytime i want to use it... any clues? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
go to all ur instaled apps and delete data from the navigator/google maps..it should work after that

allso i can confirm soft reboots on the 110816 every time the same thing

listening to music in power amp...get a call...when i hang up it plays again and if i lock screen it reboots

i tryed this 5 times all the time the same

LE: i see that they removed the .zip from the nightlys site
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Yes I was getting some slow scrolling thru' the menus on the 110816 nightly but nothing showed up on logcat.

Now back onto the 110813 that works fine for me but have just noticed a new BOOT179 nightly has been uploaded :)
[Defy Android Development] showbas:
Hey, there is a new nightly but it is called "boot179" ? Can somebody explain what does it mean ?

http://defycm7.tanguy.tk/

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
Read the FAQ.

It flashes the kernel from a different moto rom.
[Defy Android Development] showbas:
Ok but i didnt understand is it dangerous ??
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Latest BOOT179 just installed, no idea if any bugs creped in yet, seems ok so far except for the red MOTO logo I *hate*. Splash Tools to the rescue :D
[Defy Android Development] showbas:
Ok thanks :)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
oups... logo ^^ forgot it

yea... ive finished tests on this build, and both USB and wifi tethering works

but... beware... to get wifi tethering to works... you need to flash this boot179 (or upcomming RC1.5) or use the included tiap_drv.ko module

(That could also break support of some wireless tether apps...

The reason is the interface name which was harcoded as "tiwlan0" in tiap_drv. And must be tiap0. I dont know if that was working on stock roms)

i need to clean up the nightly repo before doing that... it is important to publish this version also on cyanogen repos.

the slow down yesterday was related to an overscroll test. (deleted the build)

As you can see the last builds were not on ROM Manager, neither on my own server. And this for a good reason...

You are free to use them, but please dont spam me or this forum if it was already made...

There is maybe a last little fix to do with permissions in /data/misc/wifi. A second reboot after install could help to fix that...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Good to know. Also, I had to replace the WiFi module unfortunately, the one from the 2.3.4 is still causing disconnections, while the 179-2 original one is fine.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yea... this point is not and will not be fixed until new defy+ roms i think
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Probably, yeah, but I just use your Yaffs Explorer tool and do my modifications easily. I learned a lot about android in this thread, and how similar the underlying system is to normal Linux.

Remeber to get rid of that horrible Motorola Logo next time :cool:
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Hi Epsylon,

good work! :)

Do you know if the "SD Card is missing" bug is still somewhere in the code?

In my last holidays pretty pictures got lost (deleted) because of that *sigh*
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
this one is better ?

hehe lol
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
We were really 3 on these new features : Quarx, maniac103 and me :)

For the sdcard, i ve recently discovered that could be related to wifi module... there is something in dmesg related to sdio and i need to check again...

It is hard to debug, because it doesnt happens so often, and adb should be working before to access logs...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Like the gootorola logo! :D

But in your last to last post you mentioned that the latest builds aren't on your server...i didn't exactly understand so i'm asking, does today's boot179 build come under this "latest builds" that as you implied aren't all that stable, hence we can use but should not spam you about problems from them?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
BTW, to make the tethering fun complete: BT tethering is also working now ....

I wanna ask a question about boot sea - 179 and normal nightly packages. I realy do not understand what is the diferent between boot sea, cee an 179. I read somewere that has a diferent kernel, but I am not shore. I do not realise do i need to flash first some boot, then latest nightly, or is enough to flash only latest boot, and which boot I need. For helping I am from Bulgaria. Just explain me the steps that I must do. Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
If you have JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_CEE official as basic (like I have too) than those versions gives nothing difference to your nightly. You can flash latest nightly right after this official rom.

+1 for this last black logo ;)
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
for the differences between the boots (179,SEA,179-2,179-4) i dont know:D very long story...

but for the specific boot to start w/ : you can flash boot 179-2 then forward to any nightlys or the last boot 179-4...

nothing special things to do or requirements.
[Defy Android Development] demolition23:
