overclocking, and more than that - undervolting, is a tricky thing. lots of voodoo-bugs occurs due to this.

i think it should be #1 step when trying to understand strange bugs.. :cool:
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
In Settings --> CM settings --> Sound Settings you can change redirect, attentuation and volume. Does changing that solve it?
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Yes, we should say to everybody having this problem that undervolting may be causing this. I was with 300-26 600-36 1000-54, which I think is not very low...
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
I managed to get wvga recording and low res recording to work on green camera with a little OMXCodec.cpp hack. It is still buggy(only works in lgcamera) and dirty but hopfully during the weekend i will have enough time to finish it:-) Or maybe Quarx can help
[Defy Android Development] petrolin:
So, do u recommend uninstalling setvsel? How do i overclock from boot menu?

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Go to bootmenu and system you should see overclock option
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
But it is already overclocked to 1ghz, you would need to undervolt, and that is maybe the problem ;)
[Defy Android Development] nathrinder:
Anyone having issues with the Google Maps app ? It gets very slow after a few seconds of use, most likely while loading the map. The whole device is then totally unresponsive (even the hardware buttons don't vibrate anymore) for almost 20 secondes, until I can finally "force close" the app. Clearing the cache seems to help a little, but after a little time, it starts slowing down again like before. This is really annoying, the app is unusable.

Under Eclair, I had no problem. When updating to the french official Froyo, this problem suddenly appeared. Flashed the Nordic SBF, it's still there. Has anyone had the same problem or am I the only one to have it ? Is it specific to the late releases of the Google Maps apk ? Is there a workaround ?
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to install CM7 on my phone but think i might not have rooted correctly (since I don't get a blue let at start up which would allow me to go into the bootloader menu).

Could I brick my phone by trying to root it again using SuperOneClick?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] nathrinder:
You need to install the "bootmenu" to get this blue led at startup. Rooting only gives you the superuser rights.
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
Thank you for the reply (I'm hitting refresh every 2 minutes to see if somebody replied so I can continue to try and get my phone in order, been trying all evening :()

1) How do I install the bootmenu?

2) Is there any way for me to check whether I have rooted correctly?

I installed the 2nd init 1.42 app, but apparantly that doesn't work as I'm not getting a blue LED
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I had this issue with Froyo, but after I added the line 'sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096' (without the quotes) to file 'install-recovery.sh', under '/system/etc' (in fact, I had to create that file, since it wasn't there), it seems to have been sorted out.

Just my 2 cents...

Regards,

Carlos

Here you go :

Just read the great FAQ that was written about CM7, it has all the info you need.
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
Thank you.

I went to that thread before and downloaded the 1.42 version, put it on the SD card and ran it from the SD.

I don't know if I should have done something differently?

In settings -> applications - > manage applications -> All > I can see SndInitDefy in the list (also under Dowloaded tab)

If I click on it I can choose "uninstall". Could I do something wrong by uninstalling it and then installing it again?
[Defy Android Development] :
you can't go wrong with the faq.. make sure you reboot twice in order to make 2nd init work and before rebooting make sure you turn usb debug off you can't go wrong, and if you do is that you don't really have a defy and you should go to other part of the xda forum :p

EDIT: Will we have a surprise tomorrow? I hope so! hehe
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
I read the faq you linked again and managed to get it right I think this time.

I have a blue led now and will continue fumbling along

Thank you for replying :)
[Defy Android Development] :
oh f.ck, i've installed the latest Nightly build, Quadrant advanced 1.1.6 shoot out 2174 points !
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
One more question: should I set 2nd ini boot as the default boot?
[Defy Android Development] demolition23:
I think that the calculator app is missing

I'm on nightly.

Sent from my MOTO Defy :-)
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
yes it was deleted from the repo but i think it was unintentional.
[Defy Android Development] Mehu:
Great news!
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Is this a UI bug.

I have the lock style as lense and I have the clock to display the AM PM. now when I lock the screen and come back to unlock I see AM PM status alone on the mid screen.
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
The same here...but only when the alarm is on....can´t wait for beta 7! some one know when?
[Defy Android Development] Nietzschean:
How do you guys install those nightly builds? Just install it over your current version / wiping data and cache every time?
[Defy Android Development] Eller1987:
I am only install over the current version, without Wipe anything.

And have no problems. ;)
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
You can do a backup in recovery and then install the nightly, wiping all you want...and then if you don´t like it...just restore the backup....

It´s only an idea....I never make the nightly work on my phone...don´t know why...so...
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Install "Real Calc" :)
[Defy Android Development] nathrinder:
Well, it seems like it did the trick, thanks !

(To anyone having the same problem, the correct line to add is 'sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096')
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Oops! had mistyped 'kbytes'. Thanks for pointing it out. Already corrected my post. Glad that it has worked in CM7 as well.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
I typed 16384 and works ok.

Can i get some problem with those value?
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Well, the original value was 2845. 4096 is not too far away from that, and I have got neither any issues whilst running Google Maps, nor with other applications on my phone, so far. Don't know whether any bad consequences would arise for such a high value like yours or not. Leave it that way, and report back any stability issues you might encounter.

Regards,

Carlos
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
i think a bigger value is better, too little value will cause the system the execute the clean process more often, so 8MB should be fine since we have 500MB :)
[Defy Android Development] :
just 8? If thats not enough I think people wouldn't mind to get it to 16mb!

by the way what are the advantages of installing apps in sd card? gemini app does perfectly this and it is a free version (there isn't a donate version) apps on boot aren't available for about the first ten sec. but what advantages does it give installing in sd card?

another question. is the last nighlt considered to be the 7.1 beta? I've read it somewhere around here
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Open threads in general forum to ask about questions that don't need to be here. And if you see 7, 7.1, RC or final release it will be in the first post, where Quarx update the thread.

And excuse me if I was a little harsh, but this thread is almost reaching 500 pages.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
knightly 2349

dloading & test is this near beta7..:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] Citynomad:
@Quarx: Will we also see the nice new CM feature to manage the apps' permissions in future builds, like described here: New CyanogenMod lets you rule Android app permissions with an iron fist -- Engadget ? Would be awesome.

Thanks a lot for your efforts so far.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I think we already have it in nightly build.

P.S. latest nightly cm7-110526-2349-NIGHTLY-Jordan won't boot... I dont know why

Sorry, the partition seems to have some problems, other install cant boot either.
[Defy Android Development] escrivel:
I now this question is going to be some kind of boring for you Quarx but:

I will be on a trip at Sundays, and before this I want to update my Beta6. Just wondered if there is a change that there will be a new Beta / RC before Sundays or I just should go for the latest nightly?
[Defy Android Development] xanadu:
Strange... it works fine on my unit (till now)
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
For me it does. Try to reinstall. If that won't work, clear cache & f-reset.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Quick & dumb question but as always you guys are the only resource - this thread is not delved into it so far.

Can I reinstall QuickOffice-moto from my Titanium backup (my phone came with eclair, 2.59 ROM, India) onto the CM7, beta 5.1?

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
that strange of ur defy...im so noob but its running fine on me..currently testing knightly 052711-2349...flash the zip, like i dont care-schwing...

all seem smooth..
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Consider just trying it :)
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
The whole issue is that my install works like a charm :D

I'm just plain **** scared that reinstalling something that has way too many linkages (like QO) can bring things down. Last time, I restored a custom recovery via all user apps + all user data and the darned thing crashed & I spent 3+ hours rescuiing it (won't even boot).

Hence the phobia against installing it :D - if u know what I mean.
[Defy Android Development] derbestimmer:
then make a nandroid backup before you restore. as easy as pie :D
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Canceled the plans. It clearly says its a system app and other system apps will be restored as well. Hence, so dropped.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Hi! I might be a little off-topic (?) but I'm using the latest "knightly" now. A lot of times I cannot switch back the phone from sleeping. Only battery in-out helps. When on the charger, it seems ok. To be frank, the issue came up also under 3.4.2-155 and Nordic during the last week. Shall I do something with the battery? I deleted battery stats - no effect.

Another problem is the wi-fi... regardless from the ROM version. In a few minutes it disconnects. There seems to be only one exception: Youtube player never stops working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
[Defy Android Development] rumcajsz:
Same thing happened on my phone.
[Defy Android Development] Jakethepeg:
Running on new nightly. Running very nicely, the smoothest yet imo
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
rumcajsz, leírnád ezt részletesebben? :) Sorry: would you please explain your case in details? Thx...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Everyone with blank screen issues, please always state if you overclock/underclock or have tampered with Vsel in any way.

Some users with such problems resolved it by removing SetVsel.

Also: try to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache from the custom recovery if the problem remains.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
No Setvsel installed, trying after fresh install - of course with wipe of everything. The most annoying part of the problem is the following: in 5 months this problem never occured, no matter which ROM I used. Now it seems to be persistent - regardless of the ROM version.
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
Please report the issue on github. There is one opened. I experience the same thing. Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
did you cancel overclocking?

you might have undervolted too much :cool:
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
I'm new on github. Trying to sign up... :)
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Undervolted? I's a fresh install. CM has it own voltage settings, doesn't it? I haven't messed with them. And I've never used extremely low values in the past: 300/32, 650/46, 1000/56.

BTW: can anyone give me a link to a setvsel.apk? I don't have Market yet but want to try out higher voltage settings.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
please cancel overclocking feature from setVsel AND bootmenu, then report back.

we're talking here from recent experience, so the past doesn't matter :D
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
On thing worries me: yesterday I flashed back to Nordic-177 and the 4.3.2-155 with full wipe and this problem occured there, too - so I suppose it's not neccessarily CM-related.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
That is worrisome, I would fear hardware problem. In any case, if you flash an official ROM .sbf, wipe everything and you still have issues, send it back under warranty.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
the very same problem has happened to many users, and the very same solution has helped them.

i will not try to help you, and i hope also no one else will, until you confirmed overclocking is disabled in both bootmenu & in setVsel
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
OK, ok, cancelling on the way, Bro' :)

btw: this "i will not try to help you, and i hope also no one else will..." sounded a bit offensive...
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
hi,try to go recovery & wipe cache,also wipe dalvik cache.

i do it mostly before & after i flash the knightlys...

i already been flashing 4 knights now...my last is the latest..all smooth.

that thing on ur phone likely happens if u have been OC'ing it before..

-im so noob but all is slick in my latest knightly:D
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Man, I always wipe everything, including Dalvik cache. I guess this issue is somehow battery-related. I don't want to write down too early but now I fully charged the phone, deleted battery stats and now it seems to work normally. I don't know how long, but I'll share any experiences with you.

If this "knightly" works flawlessy, I'll give it a name: Lancelot. Or shall I spare it for the RC? :)
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
What was the point of removing the calculator (and some random device repos) in the first place? I mean those two commits: click and click. I somehow understand the second one (but why only disable some repos, not all non-Moto repos? IMHO all should be kept to be as close as possible to CM upstream...), but I fail to see how the calculator is connected to DroidSSHd.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
Why has DroydSSHd been added to the new nightlys? For me, it is (like DevTools and SpareParts and GTalk) just unnecessary bloatware.

Btw, why has calculator been removed?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Well I'm glad to see that it works fine for you Hailmary, but don't you think that "all smooth" is not saying much...the last "knightly" was released yesterday, so how much real testing have you done exactly?

If everything is so "smooth", I'd expect Quarx to release a new beta soon (...it's been 2 weeks since the last one).

How's the camera and video?

How the hardware decoding/plackback of avi and rmvb files?

How's the GPS fix speed and real life precision?

And from the thread just above: how much underclocking is possible with the "smooth" build ? ---> if no underclocking is possible, that might be a big setback for me (I run my stock Froyo @ 22/300 34/600 50/888) and I really like the battery life extension that it gives me.

I also hope that Quick Office and Messenger (both from my stock Froyo) are possible to install --> when I tried beta 4.1 and 5, they were crossed out in TB and I could not restore them. [but I admit I did not try to push them in the system directory - so don't know if they'd work or not].

So finally "all smooth" is not helping much here chief.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
I'm at 18-300 30-600 40-800 without problems @ latest nightly.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
no problem,im good in math...:rolleyes:

maybe it will be included in the finals.for now treat it as bloatware:p
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks Ph1b: good to know.

As per:

as always so helpful...wish there was a little more moderation on the thread...

"Buddycalc" apk is an excellent alternative to the standard calculator and as mentioned previously, the calc might have been removed 'accidentally'.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
why don't you go test it yourself?

i only get 4 hrs of sleep & almost entire day & night on my defy w/ cm7.

if ur defy dont get the full feature the cm7 has-well it might be having problems.

underclocking is not necessary in the 1st place for this ROM.why sould we?

i have underclocked mine on french NUI rom on 600mhz only using

"noFrills" cpu tuner not setVsel-:Dthis might help u..

may i suggest you stay on stock froyo so ull get the Quick Office and Messenger.(how lame):rolleyes:

now,ur defy is different from my defy..its way too different on how we use it on everyday basis.right?

i have my own phone routines & so do u...

so dont question my comments on the results on my test runs in the knightlys.its my own opinion,try to extract yours-so you will be of help in this thread...chief!
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
I'd concur on the Quickoffice Moto. There's no free app out there which views MS Office documents cleanly. A couple of pages back, I asked others if I should install it from backup but no clear replies. Since TB calls it a system package (i.e other system packages would be installed as well), I didn't bother to trouble a perfectly running CM7 b5.1 :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Please people calm down. Everyone is free to try anything in their own devices, just try to remember, especially the new people that packages not part of CM7/AOSP are not likely to be *ever* included in this ROM.

Because the latest builds are just nightlies I don't mind, but in the next beta I would like the Calculator app to be included. Unless CyanogenMod does not include it normally, but I believe it does. You cannot claim you want to keep CM7 as AOSP and then go and remove apps that *are* part of it.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Maybe you should get some sleep Hailmary.

Why underclock? You're serious when you ask this question? Hint: maybe to extend battery life.

What about my other questions regarding GPS and hardware decoding? You avoid those but you say that you don't need a calculator because you're good at math -right!

As oppose of you, I try to address questions asked and both underclocking and Quick Office were previously mentioned.

So maybe you could try to be constructive and tell us more about all your exhaustive testing next time.

And I have a life and I'm not ready to lose sleep over "knightlies" [could you call things by their name BTW; nightly builds look a little more grown up] and prefer to wait for the next beta release for trying it out.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
thank u,i'll get more sleep later.

on my 1st line...(why dont u test it urself)...isnt that clear enough???

we have our own routines & usage,arent we?

why should i bother on gps & hw decoding..i dont need it.

nobody tells me what & how i spell out things-i do it & post it the way i want it...

OMG a dog has been sniffing behind my ass lately:D
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
@[] AL []

The GPS has not changed since beta6, I have created an "issue" in the GIT. As long as that remains in open status, it remains a problem obviously.

Also, I think that the Flash HW acceleration is not working properly. But I haven't tested that with the last couple of nightlies that I installed. They do not contain any related changes though, unless I missed a GIT commit.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yes calculator will be in RC release... even if i dont like it :rolleyes:

DroidSSHd is really usefull as alternative to Motorola Portal to easily get access to all device files (with permissions support), dropbear is in CM7 releases and seems not used :/

Just connect WinSCP (a portable tool of 500KB)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Don't worry, I will use it when I install a new nightly with the $HOME fixes. I already have WinSCP installed and ready.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks ccav2000 very clear and good answers.

I browsed through the open issues and saw quite a few without any replies so I was wondering if 1- they were isolated cases (or due to specific installs or user 'mistakes') or 2- issues just hanging there resolved already or just ignored.

My H/W decoding question goes a little more than just for Flash though: I was wondering if anyone could comment on video playback --> can avi and rmvb files (or others) be played with Rockplayer in the Hardware mode or not? Because I beleived that I did not succeed in doing that on the last beta (5) that I've tried.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The last test I did was with a 720p movie trailer, it was working, albeit not completely smooth. I used the stock player as I don't normally care for video on my phone, just wanted to test.

A bit of warning, if anyone wants to test videos with the stock player, always tilt the screen in horizontal position *before* you press play, or you may get a blank screen.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
HOME fix is not needed... simply create the folder "/data/dropbear"
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Ok, I will do that, but I hope it will be automated in newer versions, not everyone knows how to mkdir :p
[Defy Android Development] derbestimmer:
i like this solution as alternative to the proprietary motorola portal, but is it in any way possible to start it manually and not have it running in the background? i mean, why should it run when i don't use it. i've tried everything and even autostarts couldn't prevent it from loading after boot. i have the same issue with youtube it is there everytime i restart...

sorry for being so picky in this case but i like to have controll over the programms loading at start.

any possibility?

THX
[Defy Android Development] Jefgenowitsch:
Yeah i was wondering myself too:)

i would like to know about this;)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
So, I created /data/dropbear, some observations:

SSH when the daemon runs as user fails, connections terminates immediately when I authenticate. WinSCP does connect though.

As root, both seem to work.
[Defy Android Development] rumcajsz:
Pontosan ugyanígy járok, ahogy Te.

Nordicot használtam két hete probléma mentesen (korábban persze volt CM7).

Kedden feltettem a 24-i nightly buildet, és azóta van ez a hiba.

Ha kikapcsol a képernyő, néha előfordul, hogy nem kapcsolódik vissza. SetVsel-t nem használok.

Eddig én az sd klártyára gyanakodtam, de ott nem találtam semmi hibát.

A logcat-ben látszania kellene ha ez a hibás?

Most kikapcsoltam én is a bootmenüben az overclockingot.

----

Same failure, as you, since 05.24 nightly build. Today I install a fresh Nordic & CM7-110526-1749-NIGHTLY, but the error still appear. I haven't use setVsel too.

Now I disable overclocking in bootmenu.

Hey, the newest nighly works good for me and is very fast and i have no lags. The only thing that disapoint me ist the poor camera quality. The pictures have ~600kb size. The nightly i used before, i thing it was released on the 23th makes a lot better pictures with ~2000 kb. i'm using the same settings. But except for this the new nightly is nice :)
