First of all - thanks to everyone who is involved in the CM7 defy port. It is great!

I have a (probably very noob) question regarding nandroid backup/restore of my CM7:

Here's what I did:

Started with stock US Froyo (3.4.2-107_JDN-9)

flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC (not sure if this was necessary but did it just in case)

installed CM7 RC1v2

installed cm7-110715-1018-NIGHTLY

=> here I took a nandroid backup using CWM v4.0.0.7-defy

then installed cm7-110723-1251-BOOT179-4-Jordan which upgraded my kernel

Now I decided to go back to 110715-1018 and apply the normal cm7-110723-0632-NIGHTLY without the kernel update.

Not because I had issues, just because I wanted to be able to run on 1000Mhz without using SetVsel or such).

So I restored my 110715-1018 nandroid from above (CWM v4.0.1.4-defy) and noticed that I was still on the 179-4 kernel version.

Why is that? I expected the kernel also to be restored?

Please could somebody help me understand why this was not the case.

I assume this is also the reason that one needs to apply a fixed SBF on top of a nandroid restore when downgrading. Is this correct?

BTW, after applying cm7-110723-0632-NIGHTLY on top of the previously restored 110715-1018 the overclock setting of 1000Mhz was back (even though i am still on the 179-4 kernel).

I just mention this because I saw an Epsylon3 post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15923429&postcount=9079 where he says he believes there was an overclok problem with the 179-4 kernel if I understood correctly.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Well, to add a little on the camera subject...

Last night, for no apparent reason my wifi speed slowed down again to about 30% of the seed I had with boot179-4 for the last 2-3 days. So I tought it was a good occasion to try the new BOOTSY (BOOTSEA) so I installed it over after only a cache and Dalvik clearing.

Result: wifi was still slow and the rest looked good until I tried the video camera. Same error: the camera (red) button seemed like it was already pressed upon start and then nothing respond. FC and everything is sluggish on the phone until reboot. After reboot, I've tried to record a logcat while restarting the video cam but all I got was pages and pages of something like: "Camera: waiting for buffer to free up". So no useful info from that except that line.

So that means that for me, with all the nightly builds that I've tried (about 8 of them) since the multi-touch/touch to focus time, I've had that same problem everytime except with BOOT179-4 only.

The good news is that I took a chance and skipped the Froyo reflash and only did a factory reset in custom recovery (not stock) and restored my boot179 backup: everything is fine again, even the wifi speed...

So long story short: is there anything different with the camera on boot179-4 compared to the builds of the last two weeks that could explain this?

Edit: looking back at my personal nightly build test drive log, it seems that my video camera problems are since July 19 build on - not the multi-touch time which was about a week earlier.

Sometimes it takes a few minutes after the phone reboots before you see it pass

Actually, I waited quite a long time and the message stayed and I never got a Completed notification (the phone was already up and running - restarted by RSDLite during the flashing process).

Next time (in case I need to flash an SBF again) I'll try to change the USB connection (as suggested) and see what happens then...

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Andrew-droid:
Im on vivo and using "defy baseband switcher" app on settings USA T-Mobile 342-107-4.

Maybe setting apn (access point names) manually could help.

Good luck!

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I believe that USB state will not affect your flashing since your doing it from bootloader mode (power + vol up).

If you had problems flashing Nordic and then it worked with your stock Froyo, it might be because your stock sbf is newer than Nordic.

Whatever Froyo sbf works for you: stick to it; the nightly will replace the kernel anyway.

At the end of the flashing, if the phone finishes booting up, just start setting up language and time and RSD will show you "PASS" or "COMPLETED" [can't remember] message...

If it boot loops or you get a black screen, it's likely because you tried to flash a lower rev (older) sbf. Don't worry, you will not brick your Defy, but read more about the flashing process (always do a stock recovery factory reset before bootloader) and follow the FAQ to install CM7.

Edit: OK well, I though you were the guy from India, but still, comment stands ...
[Defy Android Development] darklord408:
Posting it again:

can someone from the CM7 devs help explain if it is possible to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons? in eclair it is somehow controlled by the light sensor. in froyo it was just set to minimum. Is a hack possible to turn the brightness up?

Really appreciate your replies

THanks
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I actually did not have any flashing problems and installed CM7 + nightlies on two phones now without any issues.

I just posted about RSDLite not completing to find out if other people had the same behaviour. Now I now what I should have done.

Just disconnecting the phone from USB worked for me (with the "please manually power up your phone" message still displayed in RSDLite.

CM7 rocks.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Yes it is.. SEA 15 is newer..

Isn't nordic the recommended one to start with? How long will it (179-4) be in that bootlogo anyway? Mine stuck for like 15 minutes and I couldn't wait longer.. I tried to flash it w/o RC1 and w/RC1 after nordic, but didn't work either way..

I'm somewhat familiar with flashing process, but it's been a while since I was with MIUI for like 2 months :)..

Yup.. Here I am.. and thanks for your time :)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Just remember : BOOTxxx releases are Kernel releases... nightlies doesnt upgrade kernel and/or modules (there is a backup of current modules and also of some settings like overclock).

Both types of releases keep the current BaseBand.

Also, the modules backup was not present in RC0

I will maybe remove them from new nightly builds to save space on servers
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Too bad that the AOSP 2.3.5 changes don't yet seem to be merged into the CM repository. At least that's the case for frameworks/base.

On better news, cyanogen has posted patches for AVRCP 1.3 support to territory today ;)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
No problem.

Now, here a cut and paste of what I wrote last week to someone - try this process:

factory reset in stock recovery (not custom!)

reboot in bootloader (power and volume up) + flash froyo

skip all Blur or Google setups (any setup in fact...)

USB debugging ON <--- (but USB connection to none)

root, unplug from usb and reboot

install SndInit

USB debugging OFF <---

reboot 1 time choosing Boot/Normal

reboot again and AT the blue led: volume down

in custom recovery wipe cache and factory reset

install CM7 zip from SD (go with RC1 first)

install gapps zip from SD

go to 'advanced' and 'wipe battery stats' <---

reboot

open 'Defy Baseband Switcher' app and select the proper frequency and let it reboot.

go back into (last stable for me) custom recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik and install the BOOT-xxx or the latest nightly or your choice.

If this doesn't work for you, let's not waste anymore space here and PM me instead.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
So that means that BOOTSY was maybe not the "lastest full nightly build based on 2.3.4 ^^" [version finanale? :D ] afterall?

The AVRCP 1.3 support has to do with some Bluetooth audio streaming tags? Any other Bluetooth changes to expect?
[Defy Android Development] George Jetson:
is there anybody known how can we install %1 battery step to cm7?
[Defy Android Development] feh_pexto:
It alreasy is 1% steps on cm7

Sent from my Fingers using my Keyboard
[Defy Android Development] George Jetson:
it looks like %5 battery step
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Well, you are mistaken. RC0, RC1 and the Nightlies all use 1% increments.

Perhaps you are using software that is not fully compatible with CM7 on Defy, or with the Defy itself - thus not being able to display the battery status properly?
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
it is possible to get rid of ADW Launcher and use the stock Android launcher? :confused:

I don't know why CM crew use ADW .... it's better than the original one?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
You can use any launcher that you can find on the market, I use Launcher Pro, others user the GO Launcher, and so on.
[Defy Android Development] lycheejet:
Yes, you can delete it via SystemAppRemover. Make sure another launcher in your ROM!

I think ADW or Launcher Pro is far better than the original one.
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
Just installed last nightly.

Android 2.3.5 looks good :)
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
From where you download it pls?
[Defy Android Development] businessman9:
rom manager

but still cant set cpu in boot menu,

some apps is disappeared,

and cant set google account?!
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
I consider ADW just like another bloathware... I would have preferred they leave to my choice what apps to install :rolleyes:

yes, where from? is this one cm7-110727-0001-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip from here? any issues yet?
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
defycm7.tanguy.tk
[Defy Android Development] pasor1:
If you install ROM using rom manager, google apps disappear, so you must reinstall them.

I don't know if it's a bug

[Defy Android Development] George Jetson:
im installing.will reported.
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
I don't have any issues.

Seems a little bit smoother and batterylife is a little bit better.

I didn't noticed any (huge) changes compared to 2.3.4. Is there a changelog?
[Defy Android Development] djkail:
defycm7.tanguy.tk dont work... Its a white page. Is it happening to other users?, or is it only mine?

Hi,

I can't install cm7-110723-1251-BOOT179-4-Jordan, i want tested for the wifi issues, but at the boot, i have a bootloop in red moto logo
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
@ Epsylon : for solve OC bootmenu bad issu what bootloader is needed ?

Thanks

I have install before SEA 179-4 but OC don't work .

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] defyno1:
me too,i cant live without nightlies!! xD
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
I just installed cm7-110727-0001-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip

How you start your phone because i allways got stop to M logo.

The phone start, after the green led the phone restart, i open the 2nd init, boot mode->set default but i dont have normal mode, only 2nd init, 2nd boot (those 2 cant pass the green led, the phone allways restart) got stock mode, after that phone stop at M logo and thats all.

How did you get?
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
It's the same here
[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
hmm, I flashed the nightly, too, without any problems...
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
I retry with a fresh install

It's work with a fresh install
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
I've found this app that resolves the problems with screen on during pocket answered calls. Read point 3)

On froyo doesn't work.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
How can you say, one hour after installing a new rom -may I add- that the battery last longer and expect that we take you seriously?

You have a secret testing tool, a strict procedure to follow and calibrated monitoring equipment or something... If so, I'd like to know about all that.

The rom is a bit smoother..same: how do you evaluate the additional 'bit' of smoothness? Scrolling through you app drawer?

Don't get me wrong: I value your feedback on the build, it's just that I don't buy it....
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
hmm..well if you say without any problems, then are 2 points here:

1- have you write the gapps after the nightly?

2- have you installed RC1 then the last nightly or you put nightly after nordic directly?
[Defy Android Development] larry_bml:
I've installed cm7-110727-0001-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip, wifi is ok,

http://www.speedtest.net/android/70938066.png , the problem persist on camera, wide screen or hd video (green lens) doesn't work. When trying wide, the camera must be force closed and can not be used until reboot the phone. Still in testing.
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Mirror for last Nightly : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FLKJVI6W

I don't have any bootloop when upgrade Nightly just wipe cache before .
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Same problem with red lens.
[Defy Android Development] lycheejet:
2.3.5 is a special version for Nexus S 4G, it improves WIFI and NFC performance of that phone. It may not impact defy I afraid.
[Defy Android Development] businessman9:
ok i flash again without rom manager and things going fine now
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Why do you set SndInit's default boot mode in the first place?

I haven't tried this last build yet, but I know that never set the default boot option.

After froyo flashing/root/reboot, install SndInit, turn your usb debugging off, reboot and choose --> boot (not 'set default' option - just 'boot') --> normal. Reboot again and at blue led press volume down and go on with wipe and install RC1...then (a reboot or two) later install the latest build.

RC1 will set the default boot mode automatically.
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
is the same, if i chose boot - default mode - 2nd init the phone restart itself after the blue - green led

if i chose to boot in the 2nd init the phone restart

i dont have normal mode.
[Defy Android Development] lord0815:
2.3.5 ? I´ve downloaded Latest nightly "cm7-110726-0018-BOOTSEA-Jordan" -

Update worked fine in the settings i see the correct Mode-Version ..0018-NIGHTLY-Jordan but where did you see 2.3.5 ??

Another question - after reboot USB Debugging is enabled!? So i think it has to be disabled after first boot? Or is there any need of keeping it enabled?? Dont think so...

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] oliyoup:
I'm with the cm7-110727-0001-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip, and I have no problem with it.

But I have a question ... In GoSmS, I set different color notification LED for each contact. In this ROM there is a parameter "management LED Notifications", and it inhibits all my settings from GoSmS. I could not disable this parameter.

Do you have the same problem? If so, how did you do to fix it?

Thank you ...
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
How is the battery life of 2.3.5 campare to SEA build? Is it completable with defy? I've never heard 2.3.5 on other device nor nesus 4G. Thanks :D
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
it is this nightly cm7-110727-0001-NIGHTLY-Jordan!

I played NOVA and had WIFI on.

After this hour of playing i had the feeling that it had less battery consumption.

About the smoothness: I was searching in the options for changes (because of 2.3.5) and it looksand feels smoother than before... the performance in NOVA is like before, great!
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
wow..2.3.5? dint check the forum as i was out for 3 days :(

any changes? now the latest nightlies r based on 179 kernel or SEA 15 kernel?

when i first installed CM7, my base kernel was SEA 15 only..battery seemed better on 179 kernel to me :)
[Defy Android Development] 2Pints:
Do the overclock settings in the boot menu work with any of the latest builds?
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
apparently not...
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Overclock works, it is just badly reported to some apps... make some charts to compare... but maybe not without setvsel

I will make a 179-2 again... to fix the overclock module display

I repeat again and again... BOOT builds are made to switch kernels... nightlies build dont upgrade kernel and modules... so choose the one you want

for 2.3.5... No major changes i think... Ive seen the "Custom Gesture" on lockscreen (you can make special gestures for the application you want)

The major part is internal... Settings will come then... Even google (or AOSP) didnt announced it yet... It was just tagged yesterday in AOSP source repository
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
If i'm not wrong, "custom gesture" were also been avaible with previous releases.

Always since i started using this rom :) ( it's about 1 month )!
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
I think you're right... Thanks for your work!!!

I have a question though... how can I get rid of ADW and use the original Android Gingerbread launcher?

Any chance?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
last time i tried that... only unlock was available for action... i dont use lockscreen here... too slow ^^

ive seen that because i've retouched french translation recently

The main changes are for developpers... seems it is no more limited to 64bit systems... but ive not tested to build it on a 32bit system

Next build contains a fix for wide video recording (848*480)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
I use ADW Launcher EX here... just install it and select it as default... same for any other launcher
[Defy Android Development] Football Fan:
I would love to know this as well.
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
can I install the original Android Gingerbread launcher, not one from the Market?!?

I don't know how...
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Anyone please? Or is this question too noob for this thread? I commented regarding overclocking and that's why I posted it here.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
About the overclock, what I do see as buggy behavior is that overclock controls in bootmeny itself don't work. SetVsel does work, but I don't want to use it. That behavior seems consistent in both the 179-4 and SEA kernels.
[Defy Android Development] marci9464:
Can some1 help me? As i read the the boot179 changes the moduls and the kernel and the nightlys just update things right?

so is it the same process to install a nightly and the boot179? so in cwm > recovery > install from sd > choose and thats all?
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
I agree, it would be nice the original launcher from Gingerbread since ADW and others can be found on the market.

For now i use the "Gingerbread Launcher" by eugene373.
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
It would be nice to have the original one, like in Nexuses...

If you wanna try, here is the link to download --> Laucher Oficial_Gingerbread

I installed sometimes a go with RC0 and had no problems.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
ok found the overclock problem... init script problem and should work with 2nd-boot profile (which is now a backup profile, was not working since last big changes)

EDIT: yea i confirm..
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Nice Epsylon3!

BTW, will i need to install the newest BOOT nightly before the first 2.3.5 nightly?

I maked an install from scratch with NORDIC 177-05, RC1v2, cm7-110714-2241-BOOT179-Jordan and cm7-110723-0632-NIGHTLY-Jordan.

Thanx for the hard work dev.

EDIT:Find the answer in Epsylon3 post #9294.
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
it's this one from the market, no?

thanks for your sugestion, mate!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Confirmed, although the red led after the blue led during boot scared me at first, but it did boot normally with 2nd boot instead of 2nd init. Currently on the SEA kernel, 2nd boot and 1Ghz CPU speed!
[Defy Android Development] marci9464:
and whats the difference between boot179 and bootSEA version? :S
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Simply the kernel version used. The 179 uses the CEE kernel, the 179-4 a slightly newer build of that same kernel and the SEA uses the kernel from the SEA ROMS.

CEE = Central & East Europe

SEA = South East Asia

By the overclock issue of the boot menu is now fixed in the cm7-110727-2117-NIGHTLY
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
we have no informations on the different kernel.. consider these versions as kernel tests...

it is possible these two kernels are exactly the same... choose the one you want...
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
@epsylon quick question why the 2nd boot is faster than the 2nd init and it came with red led. Thanks and OC works in 2nd boot.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yea red led in this case is made to know which profile is used... 2nd-init or 2nd-boot
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Can I make 2nd boot default as it is quite faster then 2nd init thanks

confirm that 27 july nightly has a better video recording :D :D :D

no more choppines on video recording, even on widescreen 480p.

yes, mine is green lensed defy.. :D

but two bug remains:

-on widescreen 480p we cannot light up flash from the app, we have to activate flash with flashlight app then go to camera then record a video on dark environment.

-after change camera mode to video recording (480p wide), then switch back to still camera, the preview image ratio seems weird, have to close camera app, then open it again to get image ratio properly again.
