Agreed. CM7 is AOSP but with IMPROVEMENTS. If we did port a clean 2.3 it would still have the same issues as CM7 does too.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Thank you, it managed to get a fix in less than a minute!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
This is accurate, I found it myself easily without needing to ask for help. One checkbox in the google account and it is all set!

The only thing I would like to see fixed soon is the aGPS. Everything else works, or work with small bugs that do not affect usage.

This ROM is my first ever attempt in using a custom ROM, and it is very successful in my oppinion, even camera (and camera flash) work for me (green lens).
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I haven't tried cm7 so I should try it but am a total noob when flashing roms so is beta 4 ready to be on my main phone or should I just wait ?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Not an easy answer. It depends on what you need most out of the phone. For example, GPS users should wait until it is fixed. But calls work, as many other things. See the first post for the full list.

Inexperience with flashing is an issue, but to look for a guide that describes all steps but it is not so hard, I managed to do it :D
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I am just afraid of bricking my first smartphone, maybe android isn't for me.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
It is much harder to brick, since the bootloader is locked and it cannot be touched. Even if you get stuck in a bootloop, you can recover by reflashing it. If you feel unsure, all I can suggest is to keep reading forums until the whole procedure is clear to you. It's what I do.
[Defy Android Development] tgzw:
boss！！！！

how to test after build？？

make sdk cannot through！！

emulator -system system.img -data userdata.img -ramdisk ramdisk.img

also cannot through！！

thank you：）
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
I just want to say, I am using this ROM every day and I am proud I have it in my phone. Thank you Quarx and Cyanogen.

By the way, how about the donation app? :-)

I want to pay you something.
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
I would say it is ready for daily use, I use it daily :) Only FM radio doesn't work, everything else seems to be in order. Even GPS works for me, just takes 2-5 minutes to get a lock but not bad if you can wait a minute. I have never used turn by turn navigation with this rom yet so I can't speak for that, getting directions with google maps works and I get 5-10 sat. fix with 4m accuracy
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
For radio I use TuneIn, over the internet
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
2 - 5 mins is too long for a cell phone. For example, for users of "Foursquare" app, or Twitter, waiting 5 mins for a fix is completely ridiculous.
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
try my fix for GPS (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13345805&postcount=2114), it already worked for two users here, they now get a GPS fix in seconds.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I already did, got a lock in less than a minute. But I am not sure yet if it will be as good the next time, I will test tomorrow too to be certain.
[Defy Android Development] je198ß:
Do I have to set any Permissions?
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
no, just replace the folders
[Defy Android Development] alberson:
Hey!

Installed CM7, it works very well.

Whats not working:

GPS - I tried FasterFix, it asks for root permission but then only a black screen.

Music - My ID3 tags is all messed up. I saw someone reporting this too.

Video - Can't play anything from YouTube (saw in the market alot of complains about it too, so I'm guessing it's the app, not CM7).

Camera - when I zoom in more than 4.5x, all the image mess up and camera becomes inaccessible until restart. Also the videocam is recording with a weird focus, everything is blurred.

Just now I tried to install the drivers to RSD Lite and the MTP drivers always fail to install. With debug on, off, whatever, just don't install.

Any ideas on MTP drivers?

@Quarx thank you for the awsome work, I'll surely buy you a beer.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
<<Music - My ID3 tags is all messed up. I saw someone reporting this too.

Agree

<<Video - Can't play anything from YouTube (saw in the market alot of complains about it too, so I'm guessing its the app, not CM7). I can't play any videos from my SDcards too. Once, I was listening to music in PowerAmp, tried to open an YouTube video and DSPManager forced close and all the sounds in the device gone.

This is fixed in 4.1
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
tried this fix and it took just as long...... I really don't worry about waiting 3 minutes for a fix though, probably the least of my worries. Still a great daily use for me... Can't wait for a final release so I can fully customize it and organize everything. I have refrained from doing so because I am a strong believer in always wiping before installing new roms.
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Replaced the location folder and couldn't find the GPS.conf in my /etc folder at all so didn't delete it.

Initially first time it took very long around 4-5 minutes, after that it was very quick. I thought it remembered the fix so then I did a restart of the phone and tried again it was few seconds after it. Does it mean that from now on the fix will be quick or it will remember from the first fix that initially took 4-5 Mins.

anyway, why I can't find GPS.conf file...quite confused.
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
same here, first acquisition takes some time!

If you are on beta 4.1 quarx included his GPS_fix2 which removes GPS.conf so you shouldn't have it anyways :)
[Defy Android Development] :
really,,,,,,, all the defy's are the same right? I don't know how gps can be working for some and for some not, I't didn't work for me but a nice wipe and a fresh install worked try this before trying the gps thing or posting! (didn't use gpsfix)

@Quarx you have done an amazing job, in less than 1 month... lol, If you've done all of this in a few days, I think when you start again solving problems a few days will give us a full cyanogenmod!

pd: battery is really awesome, normal use before gave me 20% at the end of the day now it gives me 60% or 70% there must be something wrong with my bat stats right? xd
[Defy Android Development] stewi21:
in my opinion its ready for daily use, and as for being a noob check out my guide :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
Trust me I've wiped several times throughout this CM7 project. I've tried multiple combos of base sbf's (although I've heard it isn't necessary) and after learning quarx came straight from 3.4.3-11 I flashed it just so were on the EXACT same page. Then wiped, install beta4.1, wiped again, install gapps and reboot. I always wipe when in doubt and almost all the time I start fresh from scratch(wipe, flash full sbf, etc, etc.)

Don't get me wrong I get a gps lock in just a few seconds too!........ Just not on first acquisition! :)
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
i try settings from xda one, andnow screen completely black.

reinstall :(
[Defy Android Development] Erra:
My problems were coming from my Titanium back up.

Because I had to reinstall to get my GPS working(it does now work) and the first time I reinstalled, I checked GPS before doing my back up and it was working great, then I started restoring some apps with Titanium and I think part of Titanium has a few files for settings etc(I am a noob) which must have messed up my GPS because immediately after I restored my GPS would not work again.

So After I reinstalled, I just used the Google back up for some of my apps and individually restored some apps using Titanium and didn't do the full batch of back ups.

My GPS is solid now.
[Defy Android Development] gkrananth:
I dont know whether i need or not this fix. How do i know. Because i cant see any pbm as of now. It is showing my location in google maps.
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
what do you mean with "pbm"?

that it shows your location in google maps doesn't necessarily mean that your GPS works, cause it can also get your location through WLAN networks. If you want to know if your GPS works, test it with GPS test apps from the market
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
One thing. I think, working of GPS depends on the location. Defys are the same.

Second thing, GPS is learning, so do not try it at the window, right after installation. Take your Defy for a ride and it will show you, it's learning well.

Third thing, I needed gps fix 3 with supl.google.com:7276, because I had 7 satellites in my car, but no fix. But maybe if I would try after another reboot another day? :-)

Fourth thing, GPS test app is sometimes functioning somehow weird, because navigation (aura) fixes faster.

Fifth thing, I don't believe the GPS fix depends on the compass. (You couldn't use original car dock.)

And the last thing, I don't understand how this whole gps thing with supl.google.com works, so this all things are only my point of view.

The only thing I know that if I use gps.conf for Czech Republic, it's working the best. :-)
[Defy Android Development] playboyfunny:
I want to run fast five HD but it doesn't work i've installed SGS Version and cache for Power VR where is the Problem?
[Defy Android Development] AltaiMan:
this app works for me
[Defy Android Development] tommy1994:
i really want to donate but sad u didn't got paypal:(
[Defy Android Development] pl4cid:
Hey, thanks Homer for sharing this!:)

I applied the files, but i set the permissions first (renamed to location2, added fixed permissions, deleted original, and rename location2 to location).

Then started GPSTest and let it scan for about 15mins. Then rebooted twice and run GPSTest again and the results:

first lock after 20-30 seconds with 7 sats in use and 10 in view, accuracy(feet): (15.2-31.1), phone at open window

This really beats the time before + even working after restart. Before it took 2 mins without so many sats..
[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
realised that my camera flash doesnt work. using beta4 (not 4.1). green lense.

any idea what i need to do? not a big issue anyway, since i prefer to take pics without flash, but sometimes, flash is needed.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Weird, I also have a green lense, using beta 4.1 and the flash works. Try upgrading to 4.1, and make sure you reboot a couple of times before testing. If it still doesn't work, wipe with the custom recovery and retry.
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I have the red lense and the only thing missing for me from beta 4 is 720p recording I don't care about gps or fm radio.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Here's a random observation: Skype works better in this ROM than it ever did in the official 2.51. Not sure on the official froyo, never used it.
[Defy Android Development] Jygar:
I find loads of apps run better in general, all that Motoblur rubbish affects app performance.
[Defy Android Development] mralimcb:
Thank you!

Thanks Quarx, you've breathed new life into my Defy!

So far only problem is GPS won't lock at all. But not a big problem, just happy with CM7 and it's massive improvements to stock Blur
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I come from 2.54, what rom should I flash first before cm7 ?

gooooooooddd jobbb wonderfulll perfectooo
[Defy Android Development] ericlaw02:
Yay, finally FM radio after all!
[Defy Android Development] DunkDream:
I think it's time, Quarx, to ask you if your donation app is ready.

I would like to contribute to the project!
[Defy Android Development] Blackcorsa:
thanks for these Update.zip :)

"Reworking sensors (Thanks for sources to HypermagiK)":

What have you changed ?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
I don't know :)

I tested on device...

Fully reworking all sensors....
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I wonder if accelerometer based games work properly now.

I know the bug takes time to show but it is there. Also present on at least one other device.

Perfect!!!!!!
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
fm radio works perfectly, thanks for that :)

but i don't really get the purpose of that sim-app
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
It is support for the "SIM Toolkit", some carriers use it to integrate mini-apps into the SIM card itself. My carrier has such an app, provides a menu with some services of the carrier, some via SMS some via voice calls.
[Defy Android Development] hardiksomo:
Since i am a game freak!!

All gameloft HD games work on this ROM or not??

If yes then i ll definately flash CM7!!

[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Now just make Beta4.2 :D

I just try v4.1 with 3.4.3-11 and it's more stable with 3.4.2-177 .

Just wait now when official 2.2.2 com in europe ;)

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] drakeM:
Fm works for me too, compass sensor works better then before, now it is less laggy. Sim-app is an app that contains some carrier services like sports news, gossip etc it depends on your carrier.
[Defy Android Development] hirano:
So what is the current status with beta 4.1 + update.zip?

- Is GPS fully working?

- What about aGPS?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
i tried Fast5. Works good:)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Compass acts weird in Google Maps in beta 4.2. If I use the phone in vertical position it points to the opposite direction than it should. If the phone is in horizontal position it point to the correct direction. Really strange. Worked correctly in beta 4.1
[Defy Android Development] Mehu:
So the only things not working is the GPS and the 720p recording?

Also I'd like to know how does the different lenses affect to this ROM? I mean red or green lenses. Because if only red lense's owners can have the 720p patch, maybe it should be an optional zip out of the rom.

PS. Sorry for my bad English :o
[Defy Android Development] Jygar:
Anyone else noticed that the dial has asian charactures below the persons name when dialing out or in?

Only happens on certain contacts aswell...
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
@quart

I think your phone number is showing. Is this possible?

I never entered by number and it was showing wrong. Or is this carrier fault?
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
when the display is on a little red light is on. It's not a notifocation. Anyone else can confirm? Beta 4.1+update.zip
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
After some more testing I have to report that the compass is very erratic in Google Maps, heavily affected by the orientation of the phone (horizontal/vertical). This does not happen in the "Compass" application from market, it works OK.

Update.zip for beta 4.1 made compass buggy, the rest work OK.

EDIT: this could be a bug with the orientation sensor instead of the compass, since the compass displays correct data in the "compass" application. It almost seems that the Google Maps think the phone is inverted or something like that.
[Defy Android Development] donb123:
Awesome work. Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I think it is the light sensor, I see that red light when I use "autobrightness". Unless it is the proximity sensors that activates by mistake, not totally sure.

EDIT: It is the Proximity sensor, it should not be active when not making a call, it is a bug. I confirm this, happens here too.
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
True, when I turn off auto-brightness it's ok.
[Defy Android Development] alexandre.cgd:
Yeahhhh good job
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yes, but autobrightness should only activate the light sensor, NOT the proximity sensor too. It should not happen, no red light must be on with autobrightness.
[Defy Android Development] thomsch:
you are right
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
In my case, FM Radio is important. I use it everyday.

If FM Radio is anything like the Blade it is not officially supported by CM7 and so it required a custom kernel.

We can't run custom kernel on Defy can we? Can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow hopefully.

What a rating do you have with alpha 2 on quadrant??
[Defy Android Development] andy j:
I too would like to know this also

* linpack

*quadrent standerd

*smartbench 2011

*nenamark1

i would do it myself but im need my phone as im working atm
[Defy Android Development] je198ß:
It's only ALPHA !? At this time - I think that is not so important :confused:
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
Please, never test with Qudrant. It's old broken benchmark!!!
[Defy Android Development] 122333:
when alpha 2 be uploaded?
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
Please add Ro language (Romanian). We are many ro users with defy and we all want our language included, thanks.
[Defy Android Development] andy j:
To me it is due to the fact this give me and others a way of comparing this rom to others.

I know its alpha but i have seen videos of this rom running and it looks very smooth

this is the first the defy has seen gingerbread so i want to compare it to fryo scores
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Quadrant is not very reliable test;)

Updated first post
[Defy Android Development] f4lkon:
So true but we all love big numbers ;)

Yeah Alpha 2!!! Thanks again!
[Defy Android Development] George Jetson:
yea red light bug is true i agree it.if i activate auto brightness red light turn on too.
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
The accelerometer has reversed one axis. And maybe because of that, the water level in Ulysse Gizmos is reversed too and shows as leveled with display down.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Aha! That must be the cause of the problem with the compass in Google Maps. The app is confused about the orientation of the phone and displays reverse values.

I replaced libsensorservice.so and sensors.jordan.so with the ones from beta 4.1 and no more red light with autobrightness, also Google Maps displays compass correctly. I will wait for proper fix from Quarx :)

Oh, and I just tried the FM Radio, works perfect, thank you!
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Thanks work fine i just make a zip with this files , use it with recovery like CM7
[Defy Android Development] romdroid.:
is 720p recording working? nice quality? someone who can upload a video?
[Defy Android Development] :
reworking sensors means autobrightness working faster?

the proximity was working fine in calls but the brightness was quite slow hehe :p can't try it now its quite dark in here :p

edit: plus 1 in red light, will it consume more batery if the proximity sensor is also activated with this bug? (lol autobrightness should save bat. :p hehe)
[Defy Android Development] George Jetson:
your patch bricked my phone,freezes moto logo.i reinstall cm7 now:(
[Defy Android Development] :
small idea FLASHLIGHT

the flashlight notification widget ISN'T WORKING (sorry for the caps just to get your attention :p), quite normal if we know that the normal flashlight apps don't work for defy!

so my idea was to in the next beta version include this app

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.advback.ledflashlight&feature=search_result

AND flash or stuff like that so when we click the flashlight notification widget it uses this app to turn on the flashlight!

can someone tell me if this is possible? or viable or what it will be the solution? thanks for reading :) any developer or someone who knows answer me please I find this flashlight notification widget quite cool and useful, and if the thing I've done above can be easily done it would be interesting to do it (and it would be fast to do compared to solving the a-gps right?)

I'm not asking nor forcing noone to do it lol just a small idea to be read :)
