[Defy Android Development] gkai:
It seems that the modules follow the same policy than the kernel: only the boot*** nightly changes the modules (and kernel), classic nightly do not change neither kernel nor modules (even if they contains them).

So I just remounted system rw and put tiwlan_drv.ko manually with the correct permissions, rebooted, and checked that the correct tiwlan_drv.ko was in my system. It is ... and good news: no kernel panic, and wifi work. Bad news: no change compared to previous driver: it seems to use the same amount of power when active (looking at power tutor), and kernel do not go into deepsleep any better than with previous driver...As before, it does go into deepsleep only in airplane mode... So I guess changing wifi driver in kernel 179-2 is not the solution for me :-(
[Defy Android Development] K r i ll e:
This new nightly is really sluggish compared to 1,5.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I've read this post 5 times but I'm still unclear on what you want to know exactly...

But basically, you can do your tests on wifi module and see what works best for you.

The tiwlan_drv.ko did not change very often; read the link Sp8y just gave you carefully (and the links I've put in there) and chose one you want to test and replace it -no matter which build you're on.

Since it's part of the /system/ folder [Edit: I would imagine that end of edit] it will be replaced when you flash a new nightly [boot version or normal one] and you'll have to redo the trick again -if you ever find a tiwan that works for you.

One question for you about all your sleepless defy:

have you tried and experienced that on a plain vanilla CM7 fresh install?

--> i.e: from froyo sbf flashing, CM7 boot build, nightly build install and all,

no widget/no apks installed/no TB restoration [except your beloved cpuspy maybe]/no bootmenu special setting: nothing!! -just set the baseband, and your 2G/3G/data and let it sit there and see how battery does.

I ask this because that way, it would eliminate the chance (and clear that recurrent question/doubt in my mind) that your problem is caused by one of your own settings, tweaks or apks: something else than CM7.

And it's also just the proper way to start debugging really...
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
Sorry for not being clear: what I wanted to know was: Do normal nightly change the content of system/lib/modules (then I would be able to customize my favorite "normal" nightly to directly include my prefered tiwlan_drv.ko) and flash it like I do for any nightly), or is it the same as kernel, i.e. only full "bootxxx" nightlies change the system/lib/modules? Since I asked, I have found the answer, it is the latter: if a nightly do not change the kernel, then it does not changes the modules either.

Regarding your other question: "is my problem also present in bare CM7?", I agree that it would be best to test a clean install...at least one where I did a full wipe of app partition....but I am a little bit reluctant to re-install all my apps, even with titanium backup: keep all apps while installing a new nightly is so convenient it has made me a little bit lazy ;-).

I would suspect too it comes from some of my installs/customization...but then, why does it deepsleep allright in airplane mode? only thing I changed that could have something to do with network is my baseband and not enabling data...enabling data and setting to auto instead of 2G only does not change the ability to deepsleep, so only baseband could be the culprit. Well, that's my thinking anyway but I agree it is not 100% reliable....

[Defy Android Development] vjun:
I am using RC1.5 + 110921 nightly.

Sometimes the touchscreen simply doesn't work. If I long press the power button, the power menu appears, so the phone is not frozen, only the touch doesn't work. I need to remove the battery and put again, so it works.

Someone else with the same problem?
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Yes mine has started to get a few suspend issues today - so it appears that wasn't a fix :confused:

The only thing I have activated on Sunday was the alarm clock but the suspend was OK for several hours after that but now is back to it's old ways.

Will have to test this as I've noticed an error in dmesg for device alarm & don't know if that is related to the alarm clock or is for an alarm in the ROM/Android.

PM: Device alarm failed to suspend: error -16

Having said that I didn't have the alarm enabled on Friday/Saturday & still had some errors for that so maybe it's related to something else :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
Maybe we have to wait for the android 2.4 or 4.0 to come. I mean the next month we have to port cm 8 to the defy. So this work will be useless...

They are planning to launch ICS in October so I think we have to wait.

This is only an opinion.

Im using cm7 1.5 and I dont have any issue, my battery life is about 2 days and 18 hours in full use (no 3g)...so I think its great.
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
This.would be the way of wisdom if ICS work on the current froyo kernel, or if we get an unlocked bootloader one way or another (moto/google unlock the defy...or defy+ bootloader is unlockable and work on defy). unfortunately, neither is sure, not even sure it is the most likely scenario, even if I still hope bootloader is finally unlocked due to public pressure...
[Defy Android Development] gkai:
Ok, did the test after a wipe data/factory reset (forgot about nandroid backup - I did one and it is so easy to go back to my full install than even being lazy is not an excuse ;-) ). Not a completely clean install, but still very close to it.

No difference (I did the test with wifitest3 and the tiwlan_drv.ko that go with it): no deepsleep as long as I am not in airplane mode, and in airplane mode, deepsleep as soon as screen is off...

I really doubt it is my install, even if this is still not completey rule out. Still, I have no data plan on my simcard, so I set my phone in forced 2D and no data all the time. Maybe this is not a common config and that's why not so many people report about not being able to enter deepsleep (especially as battery life is not so bad even without deepsleep, CPUspy is the only way to be certain there is a problem).

BTW, I tested changing baseband: no luck, same deepsleep only in airplane mode with a different baseband.
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
Can someone make a screen shot of the ring lock screen
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
im on RC1.5 too,but had to revert back from the knightlys due to sluggy/sleepless/wifi issues (though i dont use wifi a lot) RC1.5 works super...

cocolopes has a point & you have one too-both are just about hard to weigh against each other...you can be right at some point so does might cocolopes too...

well we just wait if the trio will continue to bend the cm7defy to the next level.

i hope they will;) i love this ROM:p
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
i'm currently on cm7 nightly 110909 and my stats say:

1) in spare parts app, battery history/other usage/cpu usage/suspend:

cpu usage details for suspend:

user time:0s

system time:50s

total time:50s

starts:0

2) in applications/battery use, or in about phone/battery use, it says:

3d 14h 16m 34s on battery

phone idle 46%

cell standby 35%

display 8%

android system 4%

android os 4%

dialer 2%

voice call 2%

in my app drawer, i only have adobe reader and battery calibration as extra apps. everything else came with cm7. so it might be your settings or apps that's causing your suspend problem....

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Eclair came out in October 2009

Froyo in May 2010

GB in December 2010 and has just landed on Defy+ 1 month ago or so (that's 9 months after release...)

and Ice Cream Sandwich release MAYBE in Oct-Nov 2011 as it is a race against the release of the iPhoney5 (which is rumored to be announce on Oct 4). There's a good article on what to expect from ICS here

and Jelly Bean should be next.

A release date for ICS of October doesn't mean that it will come to us, 1st gen Defy users, anytime soon. In fact, it might never come or most probably will not come before you have to buy your first Defy battery replacement anyway...

To have tried the Defy+ GingerBread fw, I'd say that CM7 has nothing to be ashamed of compared to it. I was on that official GB for a big 2 hours before I realized that is was not better in anyway than CM7 and decided to revert back.

CM7 has way more features and user controls and new ones are still being added regularly. Honnestly, appart from the tethering [which I don't use anyway], I also have no issues with RC1.5 and I could live with it until the day that I buy my next smartphone (and I don't see that coming anytime soon).

So to say that "all this work will be useless" is a very big statement that I do not agree with. If I'd be a CM7 dev, I could even find this a little bit offensive in fact.

[- I respect your opinion, but this is mine ;)]

Seeing that official CM7 team doesn't seem to do much in term of support (if any at all) to the CM7-Jordan team, this mean that our favorite team of devs 'could' choose not to follow official CM team into the CM8 switch and stick to CM7-Jordan...

What exactly should CM8 based on anyway?

Google pushing on new OS release and keeping on kicking Apple's (_o_) is nice, but in the light on what I've seen from their GB, I'm not that excited about the upcomming ICS. We don't have a front facing camera or NFC chip on our Defy anyway...

CM7-Jordan is just plain awesome and once again, I raise my hat to our three musketeers.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
@AL

Which Defy+ GB are you referring to?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
The first Blurred one introduced here

[the nandroid for red lens one on post #22]
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Ok, I had a quick testrun of MS2Ginger, which I assume is quite similar, and I don't think you can compare any GB with blur to the vanilla GB pushed to a N1 or NS and least of all to CM7. As far as I know CM7 is very close to the vanilla GB with some additional features.

BTW, I installed MS2Ginger just to see how HD video looks like, which didn't work well at all for me. Maybe my SD card (class 4) was too slow but I didn't really care. It was just too slow and bloated.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
A lot of additional features indeed.

Blurred or not, it won't make me think any better about it ;)

If you read that whole thread, you've probably have seen my comment on it anyway (here and here); I still stand by them.

CM7 is way superior and I think will still beat a rushed release of ICS :)

Edit: idea for a new bootanimation which could also use more cookie and ice cream blood ;)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Indeed. I don't have any issues besides maybe battery life which I'm sure will be sorted out eventually. CM7 rocks.
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
I don't want to offense no one...and I know that the work of the devs is great. My phone work perfect thank to them...

But ICS It's ment to be a OS for all the android phones so why the defy will stay out of the update?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I'm not arguying that fact.

But granted that Google cannot come up with an OS that would work properly 'out of the box' on every Android phone (a couple hundreds of them) and that Google cannot force every manufacturer, and foremost, every phone carrier to make the move to ICS, the OS will have to be ported by phone-specific teams of brave custom roms devs. That will take a lot of time and effort as we've seen here...

Would or should CM7-Jordan's development be killed by the release of ICS?

I don't think so and sure hope not -that's all really.
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
Thank you eppy, we love you :))
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
Thank you.

Please everybody, read that one more time..

Thank you

Edit:

This one goes out for all the confusion that has been occurring, about the status of battery life/drain 'issues'....

Funny, I was just about to ask someone to summarize what all the hubbub has led to, or means, in the past posts..

Then I read the above :)

Thanks for putting things into perspective Al.
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
what is this, ICS you speak of? (internet connection sharing comes to mind...)

:headscratch

So, you mean Android will be releasing itself as an 'OS' (operating system) now, and phone manufacturers must release support for 'device drivers' to us?

Wow, that sure would be cool... Phones with drivers, that come with the user's ability to choose whether they want to run Android, windows, or hackin-phone-tosh... Lol

Let me keep dreaming :))

In cm7-110926-0834 Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 doesn't work ... in previous release form 1.5 was ok.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
What does 'doesn't work' mean? And what exactly is 'previous release form 1.5'?
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
True, the version with VLC is the best on all.
[Defy Android Development] SpookyAwol:
Using 110926, love the new lock screen.....however.....

When first installed, 'ring' lock screen was active. However, it did not show in the lock screen styles as an option. 'Rotary revamped' showed as selected. It appears that 'ring' is not a menu style option I had. So, I changed styles to see if it would be reactivated. It wasnt. So I tried re installing 110926 and the ring lock did not reappear from a fresh re install.
[Defy Android Development] :
CM8 will be based on ICS and will support Defy. I've heard it personally from Steve and Andy. :cool:

Seriously, what's the point of speculating on such issues...? :confused:

the G/E/3G/H status bar icon is different, also the battery doesn't looks like the real GingerBlur battery icon.

i try to edit it with APK manager, so it became just like this, plus 1% battery icon:

i can't share it here, because i just edit it,

the credit should be to kevin, the original theme maker here.

but if you guys want a link, just pm, i'll give you.

CPU load on 110927-1142 seems massive - second boot (after caches rebuilt on first slow boot) sat frozen on the desktop/launcher for maybe 1 minute at 100% CPU, and even after the desktop/launcher returned to responsiveness the CPU temps rocketed.... back of the phone was noticeably hotter. I've returned back to 110915-0057 (which I notice now has been removed from defycm7.tanguy.tk!) and all is back to calm again... I haven't found any builds since 110915 which have been as good for battery life/stability..... :(

a little more infos, the first time when it was working i remember the pc loaded drivers for 3 devices, but i can't remember what they were. now it only found one, a remote ndis network device? for those who has usb tethering working, what device would your pc detect?

frankly not that i really care that much if the usb tehering works since i can just use wifi. but it's just frustrating that i got it to work and now it won't!!! oh, already tried 2 pc's, one running xp and the other win 7 32 bits (working before).
