Hey Epsylon3, any luck with fixing the memory leak on the rotation animations that you've reported a few days ago?

And while I think about it, one thing that would be very cool to get implemented on CM7 is some sort of very dimmed screen state before the screen actually times out and switches off completely. I saw that on some Samsung phones and on a HP tablet that the CM team were presenting CM9 on.

Another Defy+ build today: Thanks mec!! And I saw that you've removed a few of the latest ones; any specific reason for that other than server space saving?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
sure, it has been fixed (and merged) for all cm devices

yep, last builds were incomplete... doesnt fit the minimum quality level ^^
[Defy Android Development] Hider141:
The above mentioned problem (memory leak) was present in the 24 january jordan-cm7.2-nightly? Because I see that this nightly got deleted from "http://defy-cm.net/jordan-cm7.2-nightly/".
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Cool! thanks for fixing that and confirming it.

I've just tried January 27th Defy+ nightly and here's a few notes:

- Once again, I got a boot loop on 1st boot after install; pressing volume up and down + power at that moment did not reboot the phone [that has never worked for me-btw], so I had to pull the battery out;

- The camera still has inverted picture (and maybe zoom problem; I forgot to check).

--> Is there a reason why you cannot just use/merge another camera.apk (Nov10th~12th or the latest from Maniac's build) to fix the zoom problem and the camera.ko module from Dec13th nightly to fix the inverted picture? :confused:

These problems with camera have been been present since back in December...

Anyhow, here's my contribution on this:

I've made 3 patches for the January 27th Defy+ nightly:

1- A patch to fix the camera problems reported above;

2- A patch to get transparent statusbar easilly.

But be advised:

**this one is specific to this (cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip) nightly and will not work on other builds**

;

3- A patch to fix the battery charging problem for Defy+ owners.

Just flash them all in custom recovery.

I've just tried the first 2 and they worked fine for me - I don't own a Defy+ but 2 guys have already confirmed that the 3rd one works for them also.

If you don't like the transparent statusbar; then reflash your nightly (and the other 2 patches as needed).

Cheers!

[Defy Android Development] myom:
[] AL []: can you show some pics of transparent statusbar, please?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I would but my gf is using my desktop atm (damn plants vs zombies game!!)...

Just flash the patch; if you don't like it, you just tell me and I'll upload and undo patch later. For faster revert way than whole nightly re-install..
[Defy Android Development] diamond_lover:

[Defy Android Development] Tomasitas:
this is the best Rom for Defy ever
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Oh, well, so I had to brick it on 1st day of modding it :D

I have a DEFY+ with android 2.3.4. Loaded MS2Gv2.1 on it and it was working fine, but I wanted to see something different on my phone so I went for the latest CM7.2 nightly.

I used cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip and I followed this guide - How to flash CM7, but I ended up with a boot logo after the reboot. It starts up, then the blue LED turns on and then it turns into green a second later and then it stays frozen at that point. I don't know if that's the "bootloop", since there's no animation, just the logo standing there.

Could my problem be in that that I used the latest CWM? I installed it using 2ndInit Installer v2.0. When I went into it to load CM, there was a choice between "Latest Recovery", "Stable Recovery" and "Stock Recovery". I chose Stable, wiped data, wiped cache and updated using .zip. That's what got me here :)

Please help me out from this point :D Should I flash the full .sbf, can I restore my nandroid backup or can this CM installation be made to startup somehow? Pretty please!!
[Defy Android Development] measel:
Did you try to pull the battery?
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Yup, pulled it out, tried starting again and the same thing happens. It freezes after the green LED, just when the animation would start. The screen seems to flicker slightly couple of times in that "freezing second" but then it just stays static.

Next step..? :(
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
Folks,

Can you tell me which is the best version to install today??

I've been using cmiui for the last months and want to give CM7 a try now.

The latest nightlies seem to be quite problematic and the last stable version was from last november.

Is there any other good nightly after the 11.11 RC?

Thanks!

Can I use the nandroid backup of a green-lens defy on a red-lens?

My green-lens defy was replaced by a defy red lens (MB525, not a Defy+). Can I use the nandroid backup of my green-lens defy with the new red-lens defy?

The green-lens defy was running cm72-111204.0310-NIGHTLY-Defy build.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

My Defy red lens is running the cm72-120121.0028 nightly. I'm having a lot of trouble with the EDGE data connectivity - generally, the mobile data connection does not work at all (apps report a connection failure). The data connection very occasionally works for short intervals (Generally after a reboot or after flight mode was toggled).

EDGE connectivity however works flawlessly on the stock Froyo and on MS2Ginger 2.1 (this seems to rule out problems at the network provider's end).

I was running the same build on my Defy green-lens till very recently, and EDGE was working perfectly.

Any thoughts on where the problem could lie would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Qaqarox

Go to the link below and flash the cm9 kernel zip

http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
There's a CM9 kernel? ICS kernel? :confused:

I flashed a full sbf, it's alive again! I need to find out how to get it onto any version of CM7, though... :(
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Which sbf exactly did you flash?

I have a red-lense Defy running CM7-Defy+ and it also won't boot if I use the kernel (boot/devtree) from the 2.3.4 - 4.5.3-109 sbf for example (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263212). However, boot/devtree from 2.3.6 - 4.5.2-109-DHT22 works fine for some reason. Also of course the CM9 kernel (which is from 4.5.1-134) also works fine.
[Defy Android Development] Zephyrot:
Any specify reason why I shouldnt be using 120124??

Been using it since it got realeased and its like the best CM Rom I have ever used ^^
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Can't remeber for sure but I believe cm72-120124.0859-NIGHTLY-Defy doesn't charge when turned off and plugged in and get's stuck at the boot logo.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Oh... I can see the problem, then :D I am and was on 2.3.4. Original ROM was 4.5.1-134_DFP-74 and now I've flashed 4.5.1-134_DFP-125.

Must I update my MB526 to 2.3.6 to be able to enjoy any CyanogenMod?
[Defy Android Development] Zephyrot:
Oooh, it does charge while off, I didnt know about it and left it connected to charge.. when I came back I saw it stuck at M logo and thought oh crap battery is gonna be empty and I wont be able to restore the phone...

When I removed the battery and restarted the phone it was full :)

If that is the only issue ill just keep it, it works way too good for me, thanks
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I think it should be enough to just flash CM9_Kernel-signed.zip @ http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

You could also flash cm72-120126.2206-NIGHTLY-Defy where this issue is fixed.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
You are now the second man who told me to do so... Can you tell what that kernel actually is? And what is it's version? I don't feel like switching to 2.3.6 yet, I know that I would then be stuck with it. Or the kernel doesn't have anything to do with Android version?

I knooow, I'm a noob, but I'm trying to learn as fast as possible..!
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
This zip flashes the kernel (boot/devtree) from 4.5.1-134 (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20313398&postcount=14519).

Transparent status bar only for Defy+ ?
[Defy Android Development] Piaer:
2 short questions

Hey guys,

just 2 short questions:

1. Could you tell me why we install Froyo before the CM7? Why it cannot be flashed from Eclair actually?

2. Can flashing zip from sd card flash also any signed kernel ? I mean can CM7 zip package contain also any kernel ?

Thank you in advance ;)
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Froyo required to flash bcoz CM7 stable is based on froyo kernel.
[Defy Android Development] Piaer:
Is that the ONLY reason? Why then froyo sbf is like 3x times heavier than CM7 zip ?

Can zip packages flash kernels ?

Thank you for answer
[Defy Android Development] actino:
Good day, I have just flashed cm72-120126.2206 nightly on y green lens defy. Everything seems to work except for wifi. Is there a known fix for this? I was using 120124, 120120 and wifi does not work on my unit with those nightlys as well.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be great thanks.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
stock sbf is filled with moto crap.

and yes, u can flash kernel through zip. (signed only)
[Defy Android Development] Piaer:
Sorry that i dig so deep, but why we need to flash CM7 from froyo? As you said zip package can flash the kernel as well so flashing Froyo wouldnt be necessary. Or maybe CM7 zips dont contain kernel?

If it's true would be possible such way? Eclair -> root -> CWM -> flash zip with CM7 and flash kernel ?
[Defy Android Development] Zinshin:
Your phone has firmware. This is the true core of your phone. From the factory straight your hands, your phone has Eclair (Android 2.1). However, there has been an update for this, provided by your network carrier, so you SHOULD have Froyo (Android 2.2.1).

You can find this in your settings, About phone, and Android version. There you can see the Kernel version as well.

From what I've learned, the kernel is what developers create their build on. Their build is the most functional, and bug-tested, upon that kernel.

There are multiple firmware files from each region of the world. CEE, India, US T-Mobile. For simplicity's sake, developers use only one firmware to develop their build on. These sbf files are literally firmware files for your phone, so you can have the kernel/firmware. You "flash" your phone using SBF Lite, which you can download here. Once you have that firmware, you can flash the zip, the ACTUAL CYANOGENMOD file from an unofficial recovery bootmenu, which you can download (once you have rooted) here. Install that apk, and flash CM7.

Be sure to be patient, factory reset and clear cache, and install Google Apps zip after flashing CM7.

Good luck.

Wifi works fine here (cm72-120126.2206-NIGHTLY on Red Lens)
[Defy Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:
i got the same thing.... try forget all networks and add it again to me works
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Nice-nice! That will (if and when it gets merged) save me some (5-10 minutes) of tweaking work on each nightly install. :)

You can make the statusbar of any CM7 compatible theme transparent with just a little work ;), see here.

Very simple:

CM7-Defy build: flash CM7 kernel just after flashing nightly zip;

CM7-Defy+: flash CM9 kernel

I've attach the kernel zips here before

1. Good question, but if Defy+ guys can and if you root it and succesfully install sndInit, I believe it should work; just install nightly, then flash the appropriate kernel...see just above.

2 Some packages contain the kernel: RC1, RC1.5, Stable, 7-11-11-11 and boot builds (like BOOT179, BOOTWIFI, ...) and other don't. Historically, it was advised to flash a "kernel build", then a nightly build after for example. Some of the installation guides are old and just haven't been updated..

I'd point you to this direction ...that was some 14 pages ago ;)

Well I answered that above I believe, but why not give it a shot and tell us? Do a nand backup first just in case...

Works fine here too, but not sure that this answer helps too much ;)

omg Quarx still in this stuff you are awesome as I said when you started to develop cm7 :) may I ask something? the fact that its a nightly means we will have to keep updating each time you release a new nightly?

from all your roms which one you recommend me right now? this one looks really cool seems to have the best of yours combined with the design of miui am I right?

Here you go!

First pic shows the CM7 default Androidian theme with the patch I gave on page 1507 *

it works for Epsylon#'s Jan 27th Defy+ nightly ONLY

Second pic shows my modded transparent theme; you can see that the notificatio bar looks better with a slight shadow under it ;).

Again, you can find my transparent theme here.

Download finished...time to go give a shot at Quarx's Jan 27th nightly build.

Does it work for Defy plus ? I am using Jordan's latest nightly with AL's fix.

Is there any difference between those two's ?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I'm not sure but Quarx's builds are for Froyo (CM7) kernel - which I forgot to flash after install btw. So I got stuck on boot splash screen and just as I was going to use Rsd, I somehow managed to access recovery with some fiddling around...

That doesn't give you an answer but here's what I can tell you about the build so far anyway:

- no defy rom updater or SSHD;

as Quarx mentioned above:

-themes with transparent transparent statusbar work out of the box;

- there's an option to replace the battery icon with a colored bar on top of the screen and the date is centered when you pull down the notification panel (see my pics a few posts back);

and

- Camera works fine but the video camera zoom does not work once recording as started (used nov 10th Camera.apk to fix it);

The rest seems pretty much the same and as good as Epsylon's latest Defy+ build.
[Defy Android Development] anavas:
Best rom for defy plus

Thanks for your clarification mate, based on your experience which one of CM7 rom is best for Defy plus ?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
It is not really a question of best or not; difference is really minimal anyway. But I'd say stick with the latest one (Jan 27th) from Epsylon3 as you will get more feedback on it from this thread. Just use the patches I've posted on page 1507.
[Defy Android Development] diamond_lover:
I wanna say thanks to Quarx, Epsylon3 for the perfect work made with CM7.2, and another thanks to maniac103 for 27 Jan build: it's amazing, because it have all the tweaks I like :D

I never dreamed this smoothness and all this functions on my Defy!!!

Thanks guys!
[Defy Android Development] :
It seems that Quarx's builds (http://ge.tt/8rDd1nC) do not have this issue. I have tested cm7-01272012-NIGHTLY-Defy for more than a day and it runs Maps well so far.

On a side note, for all the nightly builds from Epsylon for the past few months, I have been encountering graphical glitches in Pulse's tiles view. White artefacts would overlay the tile's contents, and disappear when scrolling. This issue is not present in Quarx's cm7-01272012-NIGHTLY-Defy.

I suspect that there may be a common cause for these issues, and it may be to do with some graphics-related code/drivers in Epsylon's builds.

Had the exactly same problem, mate. But, I skipped CM and flashed my stock sbf for now.

Some people told me that I should flash the CM9 kernel (or some other, just as long as its 2.3.6 kernel), but I haven't tried that yet. My stock rom is 2.3.4 and pep's say that it is known for CM not to work with 2.3.4
[Defy Android Development] coelho_:
sure dont flash a full 2.3.6 sbf because you cant downgrade
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
I know..! (thanks for the warning, though!) The link I was given is this - http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/

There you can find CM9 kernel. I don't think it's an sbf, I think it's supposed to be flashed in Recovery.

Request to Epsylon3

Hi there Epsylon3 - howdy?

Could I ask you if it would be possible to also post the signed kernels zips (CM7 and CM9) on http://defy-cm.net/ or more specifically here ?

I've just sent a PM to antony.ps in order to see if he could update the CM7 FAQ's OP about the Defy+ nightly builds installation and I only had a redirect link to give him on this.

It seems that many new Defy+ owners do not read and or get this: http://defy-cm.net/defy_plus-cm7-nightly/README.txt here...

Maybe with that and an updated FAQ, it will be easier to just re-direct them there eventually...

Because CM9 uses GPU to render, that's mean faster and smoother scrolls... but I think it's impossible to backport. Just wait for stable CM9 :rolleyes:
