I've searched the thread but I couldn't find.

Is it better to download the RC1v2 or a Nightly build? And wich one?

Or is it better to wait for the final version? I saw so many users complaining about a variety of issues. I don't know what to do, once I don't like the original rom from Defy at all.
[Defy Android Development] russtyd:
Hi - with a nightly you run a risk of random problems, but the latest ones (cm7-110819-1459-NIGHTLY and cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4) seem to be very stable and well received - certainly better than RC1v2 IMHO....
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
You've searched the thread but did you read the last 10 pages or so?

I ask because quite a few people had good results lately with the most recent nightly builds and also have reported so here...

But nevermind that, my suggestion is to start directly with this cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4 which you can find here: http://defycm7.tanguy.tk/cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4-Jordan.zip

Last advice: please read and follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 for instructions on how to install if you're new to CM7. You'll need to root your phone and to install 2ndInit.apk in order to install the zip I mentioned above [as standard CWM recovery won't do it...].

I'm ready to take any bet on the fact that you will prefer it to your stock rom ;)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Yes, I tested Wide(30m) and High(30m). The picture is very smooth when scrolling the camera left/right. No hickups, not choppy or laggy at all with green lense.

Red lense is bad, very choppy when doing the same.

Screen Stays Blank After Calls

Right, this bug is making my Defy practically unusable as a telephone as I have to pull the battery after making every call now and the fix suggested earlier about the innaccurate screen wakeups is not working. Do any of the nightlies have this fixed?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Yo!

I understand your despair; it is a serious bug to have. I'm glad that you've read about it and have tried earlier given fix suggestions.

But your last question could be misleading to some new [or potentially new] CM7 users; this has been a rarely reported bug. I've never experienced it myself on any CM7 build [other than maybe once back in the beta 4.1 days, but...].

So, all this to say that I really don't see how someone could suggest a nightly that fixed this specific problem.

I'd say the usual: when everything else fails,

start clean and reflashing a Froyo sbf, use a recent nightly [or August 22nd BOOT179-4 build -as Rustyd and I have just suggested above] and -if possible- use your phone for a few days without installing any apks. That way, you will minimize the chance of getting this bug from something else than from CM7 and might be able to isolate the cause more easily.

[Defy Android Development] hellgnomo:
Same here with a defy from a friend. Dont know what to do.

And I already installed on other two defy without any problems.

[Defy Android Development] vick33:
One plus for screen protector remove it and buy one with hole on it. You can also try inaccurate proximity settings in settings display. It turns the screen on after a call
[Defy Android Development] russtyd:
I'm guessing you have the following:

In Call Settings - "Keep Screen Awake" [enabled], "Always use proximity" [enabled] and "Incoming call in background" [disabled];

In Display "In-accurate proximity" [enabled] (sounds like you do have this one on)

?

Also, a bit of a long shot, but clear data for Dialler and Dialler Storage (In Applications, Manage applications, All)... don't think this kills your contacts (but, maybe back them up before you do).

As []AL[] suggests, if that fails go back to square 1 and completely clean sbf install.

OK, just seen that in 110824-0202 Overscroll effect seems to have stopped working properly - I have 'bounce and glow' selected, worked previously and now its not bouncing and glowing - I tried setting "none" then back again, and that made "glow" work now but not "bounce"! In fact even setting just to "bounce" makes it glow.... changing the overscroll weight seems to have no effect (normally have "Heavy" selected)....

Anyone else, or just me (again!) ?

Edit: Back to 110822-1650 and the bounce is back....

Nightly build

How do I update to a nightly build from RC1v2?

I tried updating to (using latest recovery):

1. cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip

CM7 was restating very frequently. Launcher Pro got stuck when ever I tried to scroll through my home screens and it restarted. So I reverted to RC1v2 and it was all fine.

2. cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4-Jordan.zip

Today I did an update to cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4-Jordan.zip. I got the new Google Logo but same issue as above. (Frequent restarts)

I reverted back to RC1v2 and my notification bar (com.android.systemui), DeskDock (Clock) etc. is now FCing. Now my notification bar is gone but it does not restart CM7.

How can I get back to a proper working CM7 version now? What are the steps to follow to update to a Nightly Build? I have posted a request in FAQ.

Note: I have tried wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache and Battery Stats. I have around 280 apps on my phone. I hope I do not have to Wipe the data partition/Factory reset.

Please help me!
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
I too have the in call black screen problem, but only sometimes... you can try all they told you, and you can try when the screen is black due to this bug 'clean' the sensor with the finger, most of times work.

[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
@wizwin

I always use stable recovery. The one you get when pressing the power button -> Reboot -> Recovery. Never had any issues.

That's how I install nightlies:

Boot into 2ndInit -> Recovery -> Stable recovery

Select "Wipe cache"

Go to "Advanced" and select "Wipe dalvik cache"

"+++++Go Back+++++", then select "Install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select nightly zip

Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select gapps (probably not necessary but it never caused any issues)

Select "+++++Go Back+++++", then "reboot your system now"

EDIT: Anyone know about it? Official Android 2.3.4
[Defy Android Development] russtyd:
Hi, obvious question really, but have you reverted to stock clocks (ie, no overclocking)? Could be an instability around the voltages/clocks you're using maybe.

I assume the reason after applying the BOOT179-4 build that the issues now persist when returning to RC1v2 is its updated the kernel (which RC1v2 doesn't overwrite)....

I'm afraid your most likely option is probably a full reset, stock 2.2 sbf and then re-install CM7.....
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Go to MOTOROLA RECOVERY -> WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET

No fake on this one...:D

New leaked Market (version 3.1.3) here

As seen on: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-and-games-pin-number-for-purchases-and-more/

Among other things, now includes a +1 option for Google+ and most interestingly,

a security PIN number for purchases checkouts.

No need for Root access but requires "Unknown sources" checked for install.

... did not test yet; I will create a nand of my personal RC1.49 first ;)

- - -

Edit: after reading some comments on it, might worth mentioning this one:

"... with the new Market updates my "Market Enabler" is not anymore working with it... as soon as I uninstall the update and go back to that Green Market, the Enabler is working fine..."

- - -

Edit 2: although some were reporting on that thread that it was only for Froyo, I was able to install it on CM7 no problem [see pic attached]:p.

I chose the "Upgrade" option in the Appmanager installation page; hopefully it helps for the quick uninstall for when I need to use Market Enabler...

- - -

Edit 3: It is awesome! and as far as I can tell, Market Enabler also works!! --> did not buy or install anything yet, but just accept licensing terms and you're good to go.

Finally has a clear search history: one less apk on my phone!

Slightly above and to the left the 'M' of 'Motorola' logo at the top - in line with the small hole in the middle above the Motorola logo....

With Gorilla glass a screen protector would seem superfluous.... I'm really protective of my phones and always used a protector, but on the Defy there is no need unless you're really really rough (like keys and phone in the same pocket I would imagine).... 5 months in and no scratches (touch wood!)...
[Defy Android Development] enigmo:
Similar here. Not had a handset since the Nokia candybar days without a screen protector and didn't think anything different here. I know the Defy has Gorilla Glass and everything, but that's only what the iPhone has and I've seen plenty scratched iPhones. I just figure the £3 cost of a screen protector would more than be balanced out by the value increase having a pristine screen when I sell this on.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
OK I'm a little confused on this...

Nevermind: somehow it just did update itself after flashing gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip. But I still get a gray Verizon tab under the Apps page...

Edit:

OK, I did not want to highjack this thread with the Market subject; so sorry for that!

To make myself forgiven more easilly, here are some pics showing my observations on this.

I still prefer the Market from the apk I've posted to the gapps's one for a few reasons though.

It has a slightly different page design and a few extra options and settings [again, see pics]; it has no blank (nothing loaded) spots; I don't have to get all the other crap from the gapps zip installed and it can easilly be uninstalled.
[Defy Android Development] iammodo:
