I've a issue with 120131 nightly, when i try to load a website or anything with wifi connection, is disconnect from the local network, actually without even trying to download some content, then when it tries to connect again, it takes about 1 minute or 2, the previous nighlty did not cause this problem, I can install an earlier directly over this? and wait out a new nighlty.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Just go directly:

nightly + CMx signed kernel ... it saves you one installation and one reboot ;)

x being: 7 for CM7 builds and 9 for Defy+ builds (nightly zip or nand restore).

Edit -completely off topic but..

Boot loader unlocking aside, I'd hope that Motorola had a similar 5 years ahead future plans as its competitor Samsung...

It's in french, but you'll get the idea... ;)

Yes I want to do the same, get standard status bar.

A new stable version ahead ?

First of all - thanks to the CM Team. Great work!!!

After almost 3 month I would be happy to flash a new stable version of GB (best would be with 720p recording - at least for the Aptina-Sensor).

Is there any chance for that?

Hi Guys, is there any chance of someone help to flash CM here?

system version is

45.1.6.ME525+.chinaretail.en.cn

android verison

2.3.4

baseband

EPU93_U_00,60,00

build number

4.5.3-109_dpp-6

any ideas how to start? cause other times I ended up with a dead mobile, it was not even getting into recovery mode..

now I tried again n ended up with an error saying some about impossible to find /tmp/recovery.log..

just rebooted n got again into the system at least, no black screen.. hehe..

many thanks
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
I would start with the basic things, getting 2init installed and don't forget to disable usb debugging before reboot.

When you get to recovery I think you need to flash CM7 kernel but I don't have a defy+ so I'm not the best person to help you :\
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Yo!,

I don't know which module (build) to choose since I had no such issue with all the latest builds I've tried from Quarx or Epsylon3.

But, I'd suggest you to try to do as Epsylon3's suggested here and delete tiwlan_drv.ko from your /system/lib/modules/ folder and then,

reboot and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only and go on and install either the same or one of the latest builds:

- Epsylon3's Jan 31st with my patches to fix camera and the undo transparency (opt)

- Quarx's Feb 3rd which requires no fix for camera and has support for transparency built in

- Maniac103's latest build which has some experimental tweaks for call forwarding.

- or euroSkank built from somewhere.. -dunno because I've tried it yet since I'm happy with the one from Quarx for now;)

And general reminders:

- if you still see the boot animation after 5 minutes at first boot; either try pressing vol up and down and the power button to force a reboot or pull the battery out, put it back in and reboot.

-if you're rom before installing cm7 was not a working cm7 build, you should also wipe data and install (it won't break anything) the CM7 signed kernel (before or after nightly zip) as it will serve as your recommended base as the old times.

Cheers.

Edit:

P.S:

All this is for first gen Defy

; Defy+ owners should probably stick with Defy_plus nightly builds with CM9-signed kernel and appropriate fixes for the battery charging and camera [just go back to the forum pages around the nightly release date and you will find the instructions..I gave enough link for one post here... ;)]

It would be nice if someone could explain what exactly works and not works for Defy+ owners...I mean regular nighly builds can be used (and how) or not...
[Defy Android Development] thomasck:
I forgot to mention this is already done.. The phone has been rooted and Recovery is installed properly..

Help !!!!

Hi I was using Defy Plus (+) CM7 nightly (27th Jan) and today I tried flashing CM9-signed kernel and I couldn't able to boot the phone. I tried flashing a couple of stock sbf's using RSD lite in Windows 7 and still I am stuck at the M animated logo

Please help. Do I have to try it in Linux ?
[Defy Android Development] zed_fauji:
did u wipe everything?
[Defy Android Development] anavas:
Wipe..

Sorry I don't understand about the wipe ? Are you talking about before I flash the new kernal. No I didn't wipe any thing. I just flashed it.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Hey AL, which one is beter and have less bugs: Quarx 3.feb or Ep3 31.jan with your patch?

Im currently on Ep3 and everything looks ok for now.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Which sbf?

By "animated logo", you mean boot animation or the static splash screen (boot picture)?

Have you tried a battery pull?

And the "wipe all" means before flashing a sbf with RSD Lite, you should wipe all: factory reset, cache+data+dalvik in

STOCK

recovery. Careful what you flash with RSD; there are "downgradability" risks involved; please do your research.

Both are good with their own "+" and "-"; no real bugs.

I wrote many times that my patch for Epsylon3's Jan 31st nightly is for that nightly ONLY... And Quarx's latest build doesn't need a fix for the camera so... Backup your current state, install and try Quarx's and make your own opinion... Don't like it; restore the backup ;)
[Defy Android Development] otaku888:
I have a brand new untampered with defy+ that has yet to be rooted and flashed. I get a benchmark of around 1650 with quadrant.

My question is...

Is it worth the risk of flashing a CM7 nightly what with the SBF downgrade risks and everything?

Do you get an appreciatively better phone experience?

The only thing that stands out for me on stock in need of some improvement is the speed of launching apps. I guess this wouldn't be something that CM7 could improve anyway.. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Defy Android Development] anavas:
Hi AL,

thanks for the response. Once I flashed the SBF using RSD Lite I went to the stock recovery and did a factory reset, wipe data & cache. The the phone booted fine.

But Can you please tell me how do I flash the CM9-Signed-kernel. Does it have any thing better with default one in the CM7 27th build for Defy + ?

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Yes, it is definitely worth it. I was using CM7 27th build for Defy plus and the phone works great. And one more thing I don't like the motoblur... It's a crap really...
[Defy Android Development] otaku888:

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
There's no real risk involved if you first use custom recovery and make a full backup of your system (and maybe also backup your other stuff like sms, contacts, apps+data, etc.).

You will not know it before you try it yourself but I'd say go for it all the way!!:p

Much more user control on everything and like it was said, no Blur no a lot less junk to slow things down.
[Defy Android Development] otaku888:
@[] AL []

Thanks for the advice, it's good to get a senior members perspective. I've had some experience with various android devices, but flashing the defy does seem a little more complicated then some.

I will keep on cramming until I am confident enough to do it. ;)
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I wiped data/cache/dalvik and installed Quarx latest nightly and gapps. Bootloop, reboot, all ok.

Tried camera, had bug first time using camera recording ---> only 1 sec recording than freeze...Stoped after 10 secs, no video recorded.

Did recording again and everything went well. I could zoom in/out, turn on/off flash.

I installed GoLauncherEx but don't know witch theme has transparent status bar to check if it is working out of the box as Quarx said.

I don't know which ROM (Quarx 3.feb, or Ep3 31.jan) has better battery life, will check it.

WiFi works ok for now, i guess. (i have tp-link router and mac filtering with wep pass). Will try with Mac+WPA2 too later today.

I don't know if I should install SetVSel to lower CPU clks or it is OK to do with CPU sets in CWM?

Do I need to install Battery Calibrator? Cause Google said that it is a crap :D

Oh yea, How can I install Google Maps??? I can't see it in Market :S

I see today's maniac103 build has taken care of this "zoom bug".

https://github.com/maniac103/android_device_motorola_jordan/downloads

Busy downloading now and I'll report back when tested. I must say, the maniac103 RCO build from a week ago was very close to perfection. Battery drain in flight mode is minimal, -5mA according to BMW and the GSM connectivity and WIFI seems to be more stable than most builds I've tried.

A very welcome feature would be the flashing green status bar when navigating away from the call screen while on a call, like some of the new stock and MIUI roms.

[Defy Android Development] otaku888:
Still learning here so go easy. ;)

What I have learned from this thread, I think...

If you want to flash the CM7 nightly you have to flash a new SBF that has a GB 2.3.6 kernel.

If you flash a new SBF you cannot go back to stock, in my case 2.3.5 on a defy+, unless is a 'fixed' SBF, which doesn't up the counter in one direction.

Originally I thought I could root, flash a custom recovery, backup my stock install, then flash CM7 nightly. And then if I wasn't happy use clockwork to restore my backup of stock.

But I guess this isn't possible if you need to have the 2.3.6 SBF first.

Or is my original plan possible if I use the CM9 signed kernel instead of the SBF?

So my new plan would be..

root, flash a custom recovery, backup my stock install, then flash CM7 nightly then flash CM9 signed kernel, reboot, smile.
[Defy Android Development] Otto.BR:
That's the right part of your post... the rest is not!

But since you have a DEFY+ you'll have to use the DEFY PLUS ones, and you don't need a kernel zip, you already have a GB kernel from your stock ROM.

The CM9 kernel is just for the normal DEFYs that are still on a froyo base.

Hope it's clearer now...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I know, right!? But I'll try to stop this as writing more just seem to bring more questions in..

Mmm! that's not what I said in my long posts...

In fact, I'd suggest to never flash a newer (other than your stock one) full sbf and as much as possible, install nandroid + fixed sbf if you really want to try newer roms.

Again, cm7 nightly builds do not require you to flash a newer sbf - but require the proper kernel that can be either be from 1 - your stock rom or 2-installed in CWM (custom) recovery which (as opposed to sbfs) will never affect your downgradability.

OK, enough said from me for a while... I have real dev questions to ask but I'll wait later...too many posts already..

Cheers

it looks like it only the "animation" in the top-right corner and the system time, as you can see in the log attached, it froze at :52 but i have lines from :53 and so on.

once i checked the alarm and it also rang, so it looks like a visual bug .

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Yo!

I have 3 more technical questions to ask and would be greatful if someone with the knowledge could answer me. So here they are:

1- Regarding replacing the radio files from a newer sbf as I mentioned here.

I did the following:

- Extract SBF with MotoAndroidDepacker.

- Delete all files except of CG45.smg (radio fw), firmware.hmg and RAMDLD.smg - last two is essential to make new sbf.

- Assemble new SBF with MotoAndroidDepacker.

- Flash it with RSD lite

I tried flashing with and without first turning USB debugging on and the files in \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default seems to remain unchanged; did the flashing work or are the new files stored somewhere else? Am I missing something here?

2- I wonder why I can hear static (white) noise for a short time (and sometimes a cracking noise also) after a sound is played. The best way to reproduce this is just to hit the volume key to change the ringer volume and place the bottom of the phone to your ear. Is this normal or due to DSP manager or any other setting? I could not notice this on my gf's ZTE phone also running CM7.

3- Does Quarx latest build also include the fast scrolling change that Epsylon3 has included in his recent nightly? I'm currentl on Quarx's build and everything seems to scroll fine and smoothly, but I just can be sure of it..

Thanks for the attention.

/AL
[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
I have a question... which build is better? Quarx or Epsylon? i mean... what are the differences?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I have noticed this on many phones, Including my old Sony Ericsson K810i, especially when wearing headphones. I guess it is normal, maybe something like the speaker going into "ON" mode for a few seconds when sound is played, staying in that mode for a bit and then the phone shuts off power to it?

Best ROM for Defy + to flash CM7

Hi,

I am using Defy + and has

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-139 full blur asia ROM and planning on flashing CM7 nightly

Can any one suggest me which one is the best ROM to flash CM7 ? I like the Chinese retail but can't root :(
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Don't quarx's nightlies include some fix for stuttering video recording? Didn't work for me on 120203 :( in fact after about 5 seconds it freezes completely, and it either crashes or continues with the type of stutters that were there from before. But then I hadn't made a clean data wiped install, I had just flashed over the euroskank version....I'll try a clean install later I guess.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I have this sensitivity problem too. In fact with cm7 (everyone's versions, our three devs and the euroskank), I have a problem with SwiftKey. When typing in portrait it keeps switching to landscape every few seconds. It's practically unusable in portrait. But personally I prefer landscape so it hasn't been a problem.

And I think it's the accelerometer that controls screen orientation, not compass? But then the compass is also off by around 12 degrees to the west when pointing to magnetic north in all roms that I have tried :P guess I have a bad compass...

When the rotation is goin to happen depends on how slow/fast you rotate your phone. I can go up to 60 degrees but really slow and wont have rotation.
