[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yea... my repos are not a stable source for others dev (fork git system) CyanogenDefy are a bit more... at least we try to keep it "fast forward"

our personal repos are some kind of drafts before the push of a clean feature to others

the difference is that i have/had a personal server with enough bandwidth to publish the nighlies
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
where can i download your nightlies Epsylon3?
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Sorry Epsilon, but I'm still unsure so please bear with me - are you saying that your nightlies on http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly/ are built from github.com/CyanogenDefy - or your private repos?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] dzzdefy:
any idea please?
[Defy Android Development] tecjam:
I've always used the nightlies from the front page link for months now. Flash them in the morning when they have come out after the usual cache, davlik and battery stats wipe.

I then also flash my own zip removing the stuff I don't need and replacing launcher, boot logos etc.... And basically my own little tweaks.

I must say I've used the official nightlies twice and I've been disappointed twice.

A massive thanks for all your hard work on this. And yes, of course I'm aware I'm basically testing new commits. Issues are solved quickly. I don't know where you find the time.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
It's been said numerous times, but again: since Froyo, you DO NOT and SHOULD NOT need to use an auto-task killer.

The fact that services/processes come back after 2min just should have proved to you that you're wasting your battery on killing zombies the wrong way.

So get rid of that auto-task killer and you can always kill stuff manually instead - if the process/service comes back, then check the app settings or simply use an alternative.

Edit:

I use on older version of Skype (v1.0.0.831) (and Dolphin browser and others) for that specific reason: it is sometimes loaded after reboot, I kill it and it doesn't come back unless I start the app. I make sure that the 'Sign in automatically' is unchecked.

And it's not because something is loaded in memory that it will automatically use battery; if it uses no cpu time, then it just sits there pre-loaded because it was coded like so to speed things up when you do need it.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I also do some cooking on nightly builds' zip files before installing them: transparent status bar, change boot animation and remove numerous apps from /system/app.

I had no problems with doing so, but I'm just wondering about the signing.. maybe our rom expert Epsylon could confirm if this could this create problems with the nightly zip signing as a whole or is it just fine to do so?
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
20111024 still has the same video camera problem as the 20111021 for me :(

after taking a video and view it straight from the video camera app, it froze and fc. then it crashed the phone and i had to pull the battery. back to 20111015 for me.

no one else has the problem?
[Defy Android Development] piaci:
notif.bar screen lock/unlock toggle still a no go, however it breaks after many many toggle. kind of progress as I see.

pluging/unpluging headset restores the media volume? glad to see this!
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Works for me on green lense (SOC) defy.

Did you try to clear the camera data and see if that helps?
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
transparent status bar? how you do it men?
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
green lens here too. and clearing the camera data fixed it! thanks :)

i've come across clearing camera data being suggested many a times but "never" had to do it, nightly after nightly. the nightlies since epsylon3 changed the files names (since 20111018) must have a very changed camera module :)

anyway, on 20111024 now and a very big thank you again :)
[Defy Android Development] reaperzero:
cm7-20111018-NIGHTLY is a battery vampire @_@
[Defy Android Development] ankit_harry1992:
Thx for info!
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
If the battery is deed, try and use your factory motorola charging brick to charge it...

Should work fine
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I already said that I will not keep writing about how to do it here...

But if it's of any interest to you, read my previous posts and/or this thread.

It would definately be a nice feature to have included in CM7-Jordan (a persist switch in the buildprop Maniac?) but I'm not the one to decide about that...
[Defy Android Development] oliyoup:
Many of us have problems with the power control in the notification bar and the control widget.

I am on 10242011 nightly. Posts are in the thread [ROM} CyanogenMod 7 for the Motorola Defy :: V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
you have to update power widgets settings, some of them where rewritten recently
[Defy Android Development] oliyoup:
It is all right for me now, brigthness switcher works. I tried to check/uncheck the button with no succes, I finally had to reconfigure the "Modes of light" because automatic mode was the only one who was selected.
[Defy Android Development] Kenjo36:
When will you release a new version of Cyanogen? Implemented by Chance will also be opportunities to take videos in 720p?
[Defy Android Development] dzzdefy:
For me fbook coming back too when i kill it, app settings,manage apps ,running services
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
Contacts/display options force close. Latest nightly...

Edit: new contacts fc...
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
you are right, hop deleted :p
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
The reason : Facebook application. So bad....What a crap app.

Can i update from an "older" tanguy nightly to a "newer" cyanogen one (and vice versa)?
[Defy Android Development] ankit_harry1992:
@epy3

Will flashing any recent nightly on top of official cm7.1 include features like overscroll color, omx video codecs,wifi indicator fix etc which are not present in official rom as stated by epy3??

Also which is better nightly on top of rc1.5 vs nightly on official cm 7.1?
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Hi Epsilon

I noticed some interesting recent commits on github.com/CyanogenDefy/ regarding 720P decoding/encoding. Does this mean there will be a new nightly with HD recording capabilities for red-lense Defy's coming up in the (near) future.

Asking because I was curious about the quality of HD videos and so I installed MSGinger 2.0 - just to see. And to me the video quality look better, especially when viewing the video full screen.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
no, we are just trying to push sources changes which doesnt break all other devices ;p

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

yea, i often do that... and changes between both are now reduced each days ;)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Well, I'm still keeping my hopes up that we'll see HD recording some day....

Thanks anyway
[Defy Android Development] chantoine:
I currently run 111015-1128 and it's great, specially with battery performance. Didn't try others...

[Defy Android Development] jh20:
i've tried 111018, 111021 and 111024 and still found myself coming back to 111015!

installed 111024 yesterday evening and a fully charged battery dropped 36% in 6 hrs on standby!!!

sorry i didn't check cpuspy as i was about to go to bed and didn't want the battery to run out by the morning. so i just nandroid back to 111015, end of story.....
[Defy Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:
downloading... cm7-20111025-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip

edit:hey epsylon now i got sucess when try installing yaffs explorer but back to old market
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Just installed cm7-10252011-NIGHTLY and right off the bath, the Lockscreen notification power widget does not work.

And yes I went through the options to adjust all the settings...

No biggie, but I guess that there will be more work required on that...

Percent battery indicator is fine, wifi is fine and everything else that I've tried so far.

Edit:

Well, the video cam just force closed 2 times on me when I pressed the stop recording button.

Once before and once after I clear the camera's data, rebooted and readjust the settings.

I've tried to save a log cat, but the error part got truncated because the log get flooded with:

"10-26 10:04:20.699 D/CameraHal(1938): Wait for buffers to free up" messages - like hundreds of them....

So back to Oct 15th nightly for a few more days I guess....
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks. You saved me some time. Was just about to install it...
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
Why the update 15October is the best right now?
[Defy Android Development] lukassek:
The same happend to me with 111024-nightly, phone wasn't using deep sleep (checked with cpu spy)... I was about to going back to previous version, but then I tried a simple reboot and everything is workning fine now... :)
[Defy Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:
to record i got no force closes.... but i record fine on high,wide,youtube but record does not started on low and mms. on last nigthly.....

when i tryed play the videos they are some..... streched but.... i use 200 of lcd density 1024x576 ... i dont know if it causes any bugs... but the video recorded on 2410 is played fine

sorry my suck english... if you dont understand i will use google translate in nezt time xD
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I wonder if the commit for "Updated OMAP support" has any impact for the DEFY. Rather huge patchset, but not sure if relevant for OMAP3 devices like ours.
[Defy Android Development] JanHimpIII:
Camera crashes with video recording

Another logcat from camera FC
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
On Oct 15 nightly too video recording in stock apply and lg camera was hit and miss. Half the videos actually saved properly and were played back properly. The rest had become corrupt due to fc's etc.

Have switched to wajkiui for now cos I need video recording for the festival here now :-)

This rom seems pretty good, i dig the auto call record feature that just records all calls to sd card :-)
[Defy Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:
sorry for the n00b question but... i can find changelogs to nigthlys changes?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Use the search, it's been answered too many times already.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
With the last nightly I had a regression, the problem of notifications going silent suddenly came back. Nightly 10252011
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I assume you mean cm7-20111025-NIGHTLY-Defy from http://defy.tanguy.tk.

Did other people report video issues with that one? Is video recording working for you?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
didn't check video, as I never use it. I'm going back to 24/10 build at the moment, notifications going silent on their own is 100% unacceptable for me.
[Defy Android Development] djakub:
Camera Flash issues?

Hey guys, nobody of you use camera? Or am I just me, who noticed, there is bug when using camera flash? Try to take photo with flash and if you want to see where problems is, shoot something from short distance. You will see, that led is brighter when taking photo than when focusing, so photo will be overbrighten. Please, is it poossible to do something with it?
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
i need help with my video recorder... when i record it freeze also in 15-oct while it should be working... i made the "clear data" and doesn´t work
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
My battery monitor widget current measurement stopped working with nightly 2410. Anyone else have this problem?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
False alarm, just happened with the 24/10 nightly too. This bug is pestering me since around the time CM 7.1 stable was released, I wish I knew what I do so differently from everyone else and it appears so often to me. No one else seems to have it.
[Defy Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:
in 2410 iv got no errors with camera, and in 2510 only in play the recorded video but, in my pc th video runs with no problem
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
The last 2 nightly builds seems have battery drain issue. Anyone have this problem?
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
There are people who seem to have had this issue since the very beginning.

I guess they just tend to forget that things weren't that different to begin with.
[Defy Android Development] SpawNyK:
Im currently on the 24 nightly, before that it was the 15 one, and it seems that with the 24 the call recording doesn't work anymore, I don't know if it was working on the 21, I was flashing the lib from this post and together with TotalRecall 1.8.5 (or 1.8.6) i was recording my calls (with Strategy C). Now it just gives an error in TotalRecall when the call has ended.

And i was thinking maybe you Epsylon know something about this :/

And maybe you could include this lib in the cm7 nightlys, and maybe just maybe you could include it in the call menu like the chinese 2.2 ROM. (at least the lib :) )

Or maybe its just me, does someone else record their calls with the 24 / 25 nightly?

Or could someone else try it and tell me if it works ?

Thanks !
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
deleted. wrong report, my stupid mistake this time, argh.
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
i don't know if this has been asked and answered before but is there anything can be done with the battery percentage problem with nandroid restore, software wise instead of a battery calibration/wipe battery stats and then fully charged and dischargesd the battery?

when you do a nandroid backup it obviously remembered the battery state at that time. then when you do a restore it put that percentage back irrespectively of what the actual state was. so, say before you did a restore the battery was on 20%, after the restore it could be 80% simply because the backup was done when it was 80%!!!???

can't we have a nandroid backup/restore that doesn't change the battery stats?
[Defy Android Development] xblosa:
restore battery state

seems the nandroid restore does what it should do, restore the previous state

you would need a separate backup/restore of the battery state

backup battery state to sdcard

restore nandroid

restore battery state
[Defy Android Development] EdwardN:
Charge fully, then backup. Restore will full charge, then all will be the same.
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
that would be fantastic!

can you tell me how to do a battery state backup that can be restored? i've search the net and the market but can't find anything relevant :(
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
it just keep freezing... at the first time it freeze and then it stop working...
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
yea, same here. those freezes remain in 24 and 25 nightlies. need restart.
[Defy Android Development] Otto.BR:
Thank you

Just came here to say thank you... i've been following this thread and using this ROM since i got my defy, since moto roms are crap! and let me say this is AWESOME!

I finally have the pocket computer it should be, and all because these fine gentlemen decide to give up some of their spare time to make this ever evolving wonder!

So thank you Quarx, Epsylon3 and Maniac103 - YOU GUYS ROCK!:D

and, of course, thanks to everyone here at XDA.

Ps. let's buy this trio a beer! buy their app on Market! they sure deserve it!;)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
So, my problems with the notifications loosing sound are perhaps over in the next nightly: https://github.com/tpruvot/android_frameworks_base/commit/43b5a7703517aabbfa0e890ed57c32d18e590025
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
i flashed this rom many times and it dont occur before. maybe it depends on different hardware spec.
[Defy Android Development] tmk2404:
On the last (26th) nightly on green lens the video is very choppy. And the max bitrate I'm able to reach is 2mbit, even if setting much more in lgcamera. On stock camera is the same. Has anyone that issue too?
[Defy Android Development] dzzdefy:
After reading your post i back to 111015-1128 but the battery performance is bad too. (And the camcoder is not working properly)

battery use 4h 27min phone idle 30% cell standby 30% android os 22% display 17 %

93%

Actually i haven't used the phone during 4h 27min after full charge and the battery is on 93%

I just need good battery life and stable phone but i see it's not posible. I had froyo uk orange before but i changed because of freezing.
[Defy Android Development] Linfocita:
autofocus

Dear Quarx,

I just installed the fantastic CM7.1 on my Defy. All right except autofocus...I can not get it to work in any way. Can you help me? :mad:
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
for alternative method, use touch-to-focus feature on camera app..

it helps a lot for me to focusing camera on particular object.
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
Anyone has try the 26-10-11 nightly?
[Defy Android Development] Jefgenowitsch:
I had the same issue with audio notification.... i hope it is fixed in the next nighly.

A question: Would it be possible to have an option in cwm that when you choose an update.zip (nightly perhaps) the wipe of cache and of dalvik cache is performed automatically before the flash progress begins? It is just a thougt:)
[Defy Android Development] thrutheeyes:
27th out now.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
libaudio was not changed recently, big part of the lib is based on the stock lib, with some additions

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

yes notifications are working again, and i included a fix for the power widget (brightness)

for dalvik cache... it is not a bad idea... and i will maybe move the option to main menu instead of advanced
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Maybe the problem has nothing to do with cm. Why don't you to a backup then start from scratch without loading any apps.
[Defy Android Development] :
is anybody having freeeeezes with titanium backup with cm7.1?

btw the camera is not very stable... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
With camera I have noticed that with flash complete dark pictures I mean its just full black. Do any one has this issue. Try taking atleast twice or thrice or close and open the camera app again and try and black image.
[Defy Android Development] SpawNyK:
Good, so will you include the lib in the next nightly?

Thanks for replying.
[Defy Android Development] Johanpro:
Reguilar phone functions

Hi

First Thanks for nice work with this.

But I got a problem!

sometimes the phone doesn't ring or receive sms

sms is not a big issue but incoming phine calls to my job is important :p

I can't see why full signal strength and my other phones in the switchboard recieve calls but not mine, and sometimes there is no call provider my case Telia in Sweden.

If I reboot everything is ok again. BUT I don't know or see when phone functions disapare again

Any solution?

I'm on nightly 2011-10-21

/Johan
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
New bug discovered. It is related with headset button when screen is off. More details here.

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] lupodrillo:
I also had this problem I seemed to lose the network. Have you tried the latest nightly?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Bad news regarding my audio notification issue: the fix that went in the latest nightly did nothing for my problem, I still lose notification sounds completely at random, they may work properly for hours and then go mute, other times it's a matter of minutes.

The problem remains.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Strange, I don't have this problem at all.
[Defy Android Development] Endless7:
Edit:corrected, same on milestone2
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I've been switching between cyan offic releases and cyan epsylon3 releases and I noticed while official releases suffer from wirse battery life than epsylon3 ones they do have better 3D performance.

Epsylon3, do the official cyan use different drivers or is it a third party thing totally unrelated to 3D drivers?

Either way they-'re pretty similar but each has it's strenghts right now.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I seem to be the only one here that I suffer from it, I am not even sure how to reproduce it. When I check the logs, I see that there isn't even an attempt to play the sound, like the system is ignoring them.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Well, for me the 3D performance observation is exactly opposite: XDA version is better than official one.

Also there is another feature that is needed an XDA CM7 and MIUI have it but official CM7 not: proximity sensor during a call with headset attached (ot BT headset). For me is very useful.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Interesting, did you try flashing offic cyan stable release 7.1. That one had the kernel included and practically since then I've been using that one.
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
with last Nightly 25 27 i don't remember with 24 my clock not sync, i desable clock on taskbar but lockscreen clock is not updated and beautifull widget to .
[Defy Android Development] Johanpro:
I will try the latest nightly this weekend to see if it solves the problem

with loss of phone function
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Not specifically related to 7.1 (or CM7 for that matter), but 2 things:

- On the bottom of the "Overview" tab, hit "Problems?" and choose "get Busybox" [so that under "Root access:" you see: "(OK Busybox x.xx.x FROM APP)

edit: <<also make sure that the "Force system BustBox" is unchecked.>>

-	Go in "Preferences" and set "App processing mode" to "AUTO, indirect"
[Defy Android Development] :
Thanks but the problem wasn't there before 7.1. I didn't try busybox but did try app processing mode change but it still occurs.

btw it seems to only occurs during scheduled backup.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
New nightly 28/10 has some nice new settings, courtesy of maniac and Epsylon3. In the settings there is a new "Device settings" menu, you can now configure the charge LED behavior and the multitouch points without messing around.
