Hi,

All is working fine with the last build.

First time I try CM7 and I can not find something going wrong, so many options :)

I got 2 questions about CM interface setting:

- Is it possible to only have 1 desktop ? no scrolling desktop. One is enough for me because I do not use widget.

- Is it possible to have the security lock path and the slide lock on the same page? For example the security lock instead of date, time and batterie. In this way my my security path will do the job of the slide lock and music widget / no sound slid will be although available.

Battery life seems to be the only issue, but I have to confirm that with daily use.

Regards all Team!!

EDIT: Do we have to install the lib for call recording or is it include in last build ?

Regarding Google Maps stability, with the Quarx 225, I am not sure if it is different from Maniac's or not.

I am again in a new place, using Maps + Places, looking for a good restaurant, and using navigation etc. While doing this, the phone suddenly became very slow, then finally unresponsive. It would start to respond again but eventually it was completely unresponsive, finally it rebooted itself.

Seems very similar to what happens while using Firefox. I guess I'm the only one trying to use Firefox? The Mozilla webpage says it had been tested and working on Defy, it was working fairly well on my Nexus One, so this must be a CM7 or kernel issue? I will try to get a logcat with the PC.

I take that you mean with the default ADW Launcher here... if so,

yes I believe so (although I did not verify; I do use quite a few widgets/shortcuts and will not delete all those just to try...).

So press the menu button (bottom left corner) then 'Edit' and scroll to the homescreen you want to remove a press the white "x" in orange circle under it.

Are animations and ui laggy on the latest, 27.02 Maniac nightly, for everyone or just me?

Seems like tv screen animation or 3d gallery is choppy.

Anyone can confirm?

Everything is fine for the 27th of February nightly from maniac. No lag, no battery drain.

I tried gmaps and nav:

It became very laggy (i am using 12K sysctl conf) too when I drove out of the normal way, then it has many difficulties to find the new itinerary when driving. If you are not moving (red ligts) it is better.

I do not know if it is ROM or gmaps issues because every rom I tried has those kind of bug/lag.

Are those tricks integrated in CM7: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-948189.html (part 3 and 4) ?

Good things is that with CM7 in hard use (data, nav gps, music, bluetooth A2DP with the car, radar detector) then phone is still charging, with other ROM the battery went down slowly.

@djscopesofm Read FAQ and you'll know everything ;)

I'm the only one who's waiting for 720p recording? :D I know that Quarx is busy with ICS, but it'd be nice if he finished CM7.
[Defy Android Development] Deonix:
26.02 by Quarx can't send messages.

I on the 26.02 from Quarx and today ( i don't text much) i noticed i can't send texts. Calling, Data, Wifi works fine. I reflashed the ROM still does not work. Has anyone had similar issues? Will try another version today. See if it gets fixed.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I don't think that the FAQ covers anything related to phones running on GB kernel - like the newer Defy+- and his question was a valid one. Unfortunately, I will not try answering him by fear of giving him a wrong answer. Although I'd say: he's best bet is still to make a nandroid backup and try the latest cm7_defy_plus nightly from Epsylon3 or Quarx [I don't have a link handy on this].

As for the 720p, I think it would be ok but I'm already really greatful to have widescreen recording as it is. Quarx and Maniac103 have spend quite some time [maybe more than most would have cared to put into it] already and I wouldn't dare to ask for more about it. If you really want 720p, then I suggest you go check Walter79's MS2Ginger roms. Walter79 also wrote a few pages back that he is currently looking into porting the Matrix camera [with panorama and probably 720p as well] to cm7; so this is probably our best hope on this at the moment.

But also just remember that 720p makes for big video files and that it might bring some sd card r/w speed issues also... And to be honnest, why wish for 720p anyway? It's a phone camera with no real optics to support it; so in my mind, it is kind of irrealistic to expect quality hi-definition recording in the first place...

Just my 2 cents on this...
[Defy Android Development] motobird:
maniac, could you give some details about your latest build changelog and the future plans of this 7.2 rc kang? i'm perfectly happy with the feb20 version, and imho the best would be to put your rom to stable as it deserves the title. no major fixes have been made recently (which means it's almost perfect in my view), so reflashing new versions every week can be a little pointless in the future. i know there is always something to improve, but i also want to stick to a so called stable rom i can use till cm9 will be just as polished as your versions. thx for any reply in advance.
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
Compared to the 20th Feb nightly I found lag in the 27th nighty and went back to the 20th. Also [AL]'s patch for transparent notification bar caused fc's. And the live wallpaper I use called Wallpaper Slideshow wouldn't scroll. None of these issues in the 20 Feb nightly.
[Defy Android Development] vap_66:
Specifically, where did you find the lag? Because for me it's never lagging.

I'm not using the transparent notification bar, so I don't know what to say here.

Tested a few live wallpapers, they don't lag and scrolling works just fine.

But it's good to know that you're happy with the 20th of February nightly.

Trimis de pe Defy CM7
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I have warned people numerous times about the transparency patches and here again: THEY ARE NIGHTLY SPECIFIC. And that means that my transparency patch will work for the nightly it was made for only and that's why I took the time to specify that in the updater-script so that we would even see it in custom recovery when we install it.

The only exception to that is if (or when) the SystemUI.apk did not change and is identical to the one of the nightly the patch is stating.

Btw on Windows, you can use free software like Winmerge to easily compare any 2 files and even 2 folders to see if there are differences between them.

From memory, Feb15th, 17th and 20th were the same, but Feb 27th nightly and some changes in the file. So that patch WILL create problems if you install it on the latest nightly and that's why I'm now very reluctant to provide such patches anymore..

Like I've also wrote (and pointed people to) over and over again: please go read this post and learn how to do the transparency tweak on your own. Believe me, it is much easier that it might look and only takes 2-3 minutes to do after you've done it once.

And no lag and no FCs here in 6 days of using that nightly extensively ;)
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
Maniac's latest nightly is awesome.

I have only two problems with it, the youtube application switching the screen from horisontal to vertical randomly while playing videos in full screen.

The camera application is freezing sometimes (turning the preview to green colored background).
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
It was from the moment it installed. I would have to press an icon two or three times before it would take effect and there seemed more delay in scrolling etc. As no one else had reported this I think it must be something on my side - maybe GoLauncher Ex?
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
[]AL[] I simply stayed that I tried the patch and it didn't work. As you mentioned it did work in the last two or three nightlies so they aren't really nightly specific. With two small kids and a full time job I haven't had the time to try the tutorial (but I plan to). I just thought I would try it in case it worked and thought that there may be others that would like to know if it was compatible. If you do make another patch please continue to post them as I appreciate them. If they don't work ..... well that's what nandroid recoveries are for :)
[Defy Android Development] xblosa:
As far as i know, it is required that Cyanogen is stable, not only the Defy version.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
For me, the last to 2 things that still give me problems with recent nightly builds are similar to what sigray mentioned:

1- The screen

changes orientation too easily

(and for no reason) when the

cpu is

under med-high

load

. Ex: listening to music in background and reading xda. So the use of the screen orientation power widget is essential at times;

2- The old problem with the video camera is still there:

frozen picture while recording

. I did not test the video recording to a great extent [nor kept a record of the builds I had the cam problems with] over the last couple months or so, but I do know that it happened on quite a few occasions on various nightly builds. I've attached an untouched (and crappy-I know) "phone out of the pocket and shoot" kind of clip showing the problem; 2 picture freezes in the first 10 sec of recording:(

It's a small problem but it can be very frustrating to miss part of the videos sometimes. ...I might have to start playing with old camera files and libs/settings again to try to minimize this...

@Bumble99: it's all good; I just wanted to warn people one last time... did not intend to lecture you in anyway :p
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Same here - I also have this freezing issue sometimes when recording and this is also an old problem for me. I'm on GB/Defy+ builds now since quite some time but I'm pretty sure this happened on Froyo builds as well (I might install Maniac's latest build and test again). It happens on Epsilon's, Quarx's and my own builds for me.

charging problem

I am experiencing a peculiar problem in recent last week.

I was on latest Maniac build, worked fine for 4 days, then, the wall charger stopped working intermittently.

Since then, the situation has worsened.

Charging via usb is ok.

I tried downgrading to 7.1.0.11 but no improvement.

I intend to start from scratch now, flashing froyo.

Any members who can suggest some quick tips.

At present, the charging LED lits for about 10 seconds for some times or nothing happens at other times.

If reflashing doesn't sort out the matters, maybe i'll have to see for a new wall charger.

USB cord is ok as charging is ok with computer.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Try a different charger. I have seen this also, it is when the charger is even slightly out of spec, and it happened even before the last stable build.

Took a few sample videos and had short freezes on a few of them. They don't take very long (maybe a second) and happen (at least for me) sporadically on Epsilon's, Quarx (both Defy and Defy+) and also on Maniac's builds.

Also, the battd from Quarx's Defy+ build seems to be the one from the Defy+ and the battery level is displayed wrong.

Quarx, can I use the battery fix (battd and libbattd.so) for red lense Defy (which was posted on the CM9 thread) also for your CM7 Defy+ build?

EDIT: Yes, seems to work. Only battd needs to be replaced since libbattd.so is the same anyway.

I believe that this might not be a new problem at all; worst lately, I don't know, maybe... But I remember fighting this problem forever [like back then]and this got me re-install builds and re-flash sbf numerous times... I wish that I could find an olded build where the issue was less frequent, but I have yet to find it...

End the end, this is in fact one of the main reason that will get me to buy a new phone. [I say buy because nothing can repalce the Defy's thoughness on MTB rides :p]. But a working camera [without hickups] is a not a luxury and it's just too bad that it is the Defy's weakest link..

next Samsung Galaxy S3 [see pics - credits to onrefaitlemac] is also quite attractive display-wise; ceramic back cover; and finally!, they could get rid of that useless fruit-like unique home button...

Yes it's an apk [I've attached the one from Epsylon3's last build] and it goes in /system/app directory.

It always surprise me to see people asking for this, but here it is again anyway:

It can easily be done with a root-enabled file explorer, but why suggest/download an extra app, when we can use what's on the phone already?..

You can the file on the root folder of your sd card [/sdcard] and then use Teminal Emulator [in app drawer] to move it and set its permission/ownership like this [enter these 6 lines each one followed by enter]:

su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount,rw /system/

[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
I've also got the problem with crashing dsp manager. If the logcat posted isn't enough I have one also. I am on Quarx 2/26.

To the OP, do you have a nearly full SD card by any chance? Also I don't think it takes down TMobile connectivity, it just kills the audio completely, you can't hear people and they can't hear you, but the connection is there. Mute/unmute, speakerphone on/off, makes no difference, restart is required.

In general I have stability issues since the ics transitions were implemented. I mentioned Firefox before, but I had the Gallery freeze up and reboot the phone the other day without trying Firefox for several days. (sorry, no logcat, my laptop would not boot fast enough before the reboot)
