The problem is that received MMS with a picture and a bit of text can appear as a slideshow in the stock app. The message in the conversation list just shows a small preview with a big play button over it, and when it's taped it plays as a slideshow: first the picture (often rather small) for 5s or so, then the text for another 5s. Only interaction possible being video controls like pause or play and a progress bar.

I did a bit of googling and search in these forums and saw it was a quite common issue that didn't seem to have a solution other than installing a 3rd party SMS application. Some of these use a "flat" slideshow (text and pic in a full screen view) when the preview is taped. The only app having a picture preview opening a "high res" version when taped, and text in the conversation window like I wanted is SMSdroid (or maybe I missed the option in gosms, chomp, pansi and handcent).

But there's something new I didn't know when posting. As I told I just changed carrier, and all the MMS I received since then show as they should in the stock SMS app: pic and text in the conversation view. It looks like it was my previous carrier who was turning all my received MMS into slideshows.

After a bit more testing it seems it happens only when selecting Europe/France/3.4.2-164-3. After selecting it and a reboot the baseband is set back to whatever was selected previously. I jumped a bit fast on the can't "change baseband" conclusion.

Maniac,one question .. can you add one list where (we, the users) can choose change dns? among the most important ... google dns, opendns, fooldns, custom dns .. so on.

One native app for this task

Is it possible? :) thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

Notification LED light seems to be disabled in Maniac's latest CM 7.2 build for Defy... any tips?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
It isn't disabled (and worked just fine for me when receiving mails this morning). What made you think it's disabled?

I'm on maniacs nightly from 09.08 and I have problem with freezing clocks. Right now my notification bar and beautiful widget clocks both stuck at different hours.

I think it might be related to moments of entering or leaving deep sleep.

Anyone had prob like this?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
This is a problem that's happening since the stock Eclair ROM. I am pretty sure it's a kernel problem, thus unfixable.
[Defy Android Development] shawnshine:
Actually, LED notifications didn't work at all until I set up categories for each individual app in CM Settings. GO SMS Pro usually generates LED notifications without setting anything up but not this time. Odd.
[Defy Android Development] Llamatron:
would all the patches at http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/EapSimAka and http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/BuildingTheSystem be helpfull? If I understood well they have been tested with a GB build
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Not really. The eap_aka patch itself is not a big deal, but AFAICT it depends on the (3.4MB!) pcsc-system-service patch which is listed as 'unmaintained' on the wiki page.

It's probably possible to convert all those patches into a working solution, but it's absolutely impossible without being able to test it myself.

I haven't had that issue for ages but I'm wondering if this also the case where some apps do not show the same time as cm7 time.

For example, I use Locus Pro for GPS mapping/tracking my bike rides and the GPS lock times are always a good 30-40 seconds off from what my phone clock is showing.... that either when I try to set the time or when I use my phone carrier's automatic time setting.

So that also reminds me an idea I had last week related to this:

[Q:] would it be possible (for our favorite hobbyist) to do like LTO download and get the phone's clock to automatically sync with an atomic clock service like time.nist.gov or time-a.nist.gov? - something similar to the internet time setting on Windows.

It's really no biggie, but I find it a bit frustrating to not be able to set the seconds when adjusting time on the phone and my carrier's time seems to always be off also [heck, my watch auto-sync atomic clock each night but my with my smartphone it's a 30 seconds gamble...]. I hope that the answer to this doesn't include the K-word - [....like in locked kernel] hehehe:fingers-crossed:

Hard to get deepsleep with a few weeks old baby twins, but other than that, no such issue here so far... :p

But I have issues with the superuser app though: it seems to either freeze at "Loading" upon start or throw me a "Sorry - activity Superuser is not responding" when trying to swipe left to view the logs OR when I click on an app in the list.

So I tried to add the line

ro.cm.version=7-20120827-UNOFFICIAL-jordan

in the build prop again and got little or no change: I could see the log in only 1 of 12 attempts and also only 1 time could select an app but got no info but empty fields for its' details... I even got a black screen with only the statusbar on 2 other attempts...

I have to admit that I haven't updated the app [or it's binaries] for a long time..; [the last time I did it from the Market caused me serious issues and headache] but this seems to be a relatively new issue for me - this build and previous one.

I also got a few other old observations regarding MMS's/voice recorder attachments bugs and SMS timestamps [responses that show earlier timestamps than my original sms] that I meant to report for a long time, but I'll keep that for one of my other [now very scarse] free-time...

'till then, cheers to yall
[Defy Android Development] measel:
congrats to your twins!

sms get sorted by mins only in my case... so when i get a quick answer within a min then its sorted before my sent sms.
[Defy Android Development] ppero196:
You can fix it.

Go to settings> date and time> uncheck automatic date and time and recheck automatic date and time

I don't know exactly names...but you will figure it out
[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
As I understand it's fix for when it already happens, right?

I think that guilty was here latest RC of v6 supercharger. What is strange the clock freezing was often happening when plugged to wall charger. I get rid of it and as for now the issue doesn't occur. BTW. I don't get the fame and 'belief' in this script..

Anyway I will post any more information when something comes up.

[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:
Came here to say the same thing :D

btw... any idea of the changelog? May assume that I didn't look for it yet...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
..always the same answer: check last comits from maniac https://github.com/maniac103here (on the right side).

So a few fixes, a few translations and most notably, the new ability to assign functions to long press of home, menu and search buttons on lockscreen.

Without really asking exactly what it is, I wonder what is the lts register. It seems to be related to the kernel and here seems to be some sort work/fix on it for 'bad' moto coding... Will that bring anything new as far as possibilities/features to the incult endusers like me?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I suggest ClockSync - I really can't do better than that one :)

It brings a (tiny) performance improvement by allowing libc to use slightly more efficient routines for some operations. Nothing to really be excited about :)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks for the answers; I really appreciate. I'll check that app out eventually.

Oh btw, I know that there are already existing options within cm7 for error reorting cat logging tools (through adb, droidsshd and what not..), but i just saw that the Catlog app is now open source as explained by Nolan here: http://nolanlawson.com/2012/09/02/catlog-jives-with-jelly-bean-goes-open-source/..

Cheers and thanks to still give some of your free time to cm7 and this forum community.

There's a new bug with lock screen and gestures:

when I make a gesture it unlocks the screen, opens the app, and then immediately returns to lock screen!

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I'll check this.

EDIT: That should be the fix; I'll make a new build tomorrow.

I found a bug. When you downloading a maniac rom you see left upside on the taskbar a dead download icon. It shows same like downy is finisch. This grey arrow.

Greetz 2 all 7.2 user
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
When you are downloading a rom or done dowloading and how exactly?

Might need a little more details or a screenshot to support/explain your bug claim...

From a browser? which one? From which build installed? Or is it from rom manager of one of Epsylon3's/official cm7 builds?? You're using any theme? ...

I admit I haven't tried Maniac's latest build [downloaded, but no time to customize it yet...], but from what I know, that grey down arrow is for completed background downloads and I can't remember what cm7 is showing while downloading on default cm themes. On mine I chose to show a red arrow with a white frontplate of an old drive [see pic] [animated only when installing something from the Playstore].

So that brings the following free [OT] ad for all of you [like you called] cm7.2 [any version really ;)] users:

--> new update and changelog to my cm7 theme can be found here.

And please don't forget to read the last comment on there :p

Yap thats right. Its only animatet when it installs so it was a mistake of me. Its no bug. Its normal the arrow is only animated when phone installs. But it would be great the arrow schows downloading too.

I have it complete standart. Browser launcher and design cyanbreed.

I seen it when i downloadet with browser a link as example maniacs rom.

My eng is bad so it was a example

1 less bug = good.

In fact I've been trying to make the animation run during every file download on my theme w/o success. I've tried many ways, a dozen of different xml scripts but still no go...

If you like animations on statusbar, I suggest you again to try my theme (see my last post above). It has some for missed calls, new sms, Dropbox download and more that I can't remember right now...

WARNING: TWRP touch recovery might not be compatible with maniac's last build of September 7th. - to be confirmed, but I strongly suggest you not to install TWRP on that build yet.

So no one else had both installed and tried to do something in recovery??

Aug27th build + TWRP works fine but on 20120907, TWRP bricked my recovery on 3 or 4 attempts and required sbf flashing.

I've tried the app for a few days; it's good; but maybe too complicated for nothing. No disrespect (or demand/request here), but I still think that you can do better ;)

Here's a few reason why:

- even without using any of its' auto sync feature, the app always has a service or cached process using ram;

- call me parano, but I try to limit the installation apps with both root and internet access as much as possible

[especially since I leave my firewall set to grant wifi access to apps running as root as this is required for a vpn

app that I use from time to time].I don't have the patience or enough knowledge to go through its code and check

what the app could do behind my back. I trust your coding, but third party's software always lights up that little red

warning light...;

- I understand that having such an auto-time sync option in cm7 would not fix the kernel problem, but having it set for

frequent synching may alleviate some time freezes problem [just because we talked about it, it had to happen to me

2 days ago - pic];

- I think it would be a nice feature for cm7 to have anyway...but I don't think that the cyanogenmod top team care much

about v7 any longer now that cm10 is in full development...

Anyhow, that was just my 2 cents on it.

Lots of commits still comming to gingerbread: excellent - although I have no clue on what is most of the stuff coming lately...

panic deamon and heating bus ... prepairing for winter? LOL

Extra pic: I guess I need a new LCD screen...

[Defy Android Development] monecafe:
Although the replacement of an LCD screen takes about 50 to 80 U.S. dollars ... but it is not too expensive compared to other brands ...

I think you should be able to understand the Chinese ... Maybe you can refer to the Refrigerator repair method

But I do not guarantee that this method is effective or may have other sequelae must ...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks, I knew about the freezer trick and it worked a couple times before. But at this stage, that big blue dot that appeared after a MTB wipe out + a couple drops face first on the ground (phone not me) is just irrecuperable.

I've been quoted about 60USD by the accredited moto shop for this repair. But add to that a broken flash (thanks chinese sbf) and an aging battery and it's getting close to the price of Defy phones I'm seeing of Chinese Ebay-like sites(~135$).

But seeing all the work and support that maniac103 is still putting in, I'm pretty much decided to go for it and get a 2nd red lense ME525. :p That is still 3x cheaper than what I first paid and than what a SGSII is going for... a much smarter move IMHO...

Hi guys,

Do u have ever seen any website where are "saved " old nightlies from maniac103'repo? I am looking for nightlies of july..

[Defy Android Development] Llamatron:
Except the .zip is not where it used to anymore ( at https://github.com/maniac103/android_device_motorola_jordan/downloads ), looks like maniac changed his repo structure.

On a side note if you read this maniac I'd be curious to know what this mysterious panic daemon is :)
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Looks like maniac103 has restructured his github to include Defy Plus builds in future... good news for Plus owners like me, I'd love to give CM7 a try again.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Right. The builds are now here (I renamed the repo from jordan to jordan-common).

It's a daemon taken from the stock ROM that makes the device reboot in case the telephony stack has crashed unrecoverably.

Right, that's the plan. I'd like to stress, though, that I can't test those builds myself due to the lack of a Defy+, so I need user feedback for those builds. I'll upload the first one in the next days.
[Defy Android Development] juan296:
The latest nightly build from maniac's repo drains alot battery compared to latest nightly build from epsylon3 (of june)

For this reason i am looking for any server where they have old nightlies from maniac.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I frankly don't believe there's a general battery drain problem. Was the usage pattern the same? If yes, how does the battery usage graph look like on the 'good' and the 'bad' version?

Gesendet von meinem MB525 mit Tapatalk 2
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
If you're having battery drain issues, I'd recommend installing CPU Spy to check whether your phone is spending enough time in deep sleep. I used to have trouble with that (on all CM7 versions, including Maniac, Epsylon, and Quarx builds), and it turned out to be a problem with the phone's wifi sleep policy: although the wifi would go to sleep 15 minutes after screen off, a "wifi wakelock" would sometimes keep the CPU active. This seemed to happen at random; sometimes the phone would sleep normally for a few hours, then the wifi wakelock issue would happen again. Installing the "Wifi Timeout" app from the Play Store completely solved the issue for me.
[Defy Android Development] ttld1oh1:
Battery life is everything to me when choosing ROM and the last 2 Maniac103's builds are among the best if not the best. I do use Tasker to turn off WiFi after the screen is off in 20 min. Some how WiFi prevents the phone to go to deep sleep if left on; and it happens randomly with any ROM.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I've uploaded experimental new builds for Defy and Defy+, built from the new repo structure. If anyone is feeling adventurous, please test and give feedback. The Defy version has limited testing (it at least boots and has running phone ;) ), but the Defy+ version is entirely untested so far.
[Defy Android Development] measel:
Two Questions:

Do you possess a Defy+ now as well?

Why would the new old build be less stable than the old old build?

Just wondering. ;)

Thank you for all your work.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
No, that's why the Defy+ build is untested.

If by old you mean the jordan build, then the answer is simply 'with every larger change or restructuring there's a risk of breakage' :)
[Defy Android Development] patriiice:
Kernel version for Defy+ ?

Apparently you put boot and devtree in the Defy+ zip, as you used to do for Defy. So what is the corresponding kernel version?

I would like to try the Defy+ version on my red lens Defy, and maybe I need to flash another kernel.

Thanks for you work
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
It's the one from Quarx' repo, from the 2.3.4-134 build.

I encourage every Defy user to use the jordan version, though. I truly believe the mess created by using Defy+ builds on the Defy (e.g. "battery fixes") isn't worth the effort.

Id agree with the above, ive been dabbling with CM10 but usualy end up on CM7 ( need flash ) and tryign the + uilds on a red lens defy, as well as battery fixes etc etc adds a few easy to forget complictions for what appears to be very little ( if any ) benefit.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I could, but I don't want that, as I want to avoid having to deal with kernel-side issues. I'll try to include a kernel that works with BL7, though.

[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Just to confirm what Quarx said, I installed the CM7 + build and got a bootloader error. Fortunately I had a fixed SBF of my stock rom which I flashed and it fixed the problem. Just booted up CM7 + on my Defy Plus now :)

EDIT: First observation, GSM doesn't work, tried toggling Aiplane mode, now it's stuck on "disabling wireless connections"

EDIT 3: Rebooting the phone makes it boot up in Aiplane mode, but I cannot switch Airplane mode off.

Yeah, RIL was broken. I've uploaded a new build with working RIL and without kernel.
