New my build: cm7-01312012-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip

http://ge.tt/8rDd1nC

Main fix is choppy recording video.. now it is very smooth :)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
No, the build is for the Defy/Froyo kernel. You'll get stuck on the boot logo if you are on a GB kernel.
[Defy Android Development] szacuken:
Its possible to add new function to start flashlight by pressing "home" button on lockscreen like in MIUI roms? :)
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
very nice builds you have:) i really like you got into improving camera...

thanks!
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks a lot Quarx.

Videos look great and now even play properly in WMP :). On my red-lense Defy I had, as it is the case since some time ago now, replace the Camera.apk of your build with the one from Maniac's recent builds to fix focus issues and get the zoom working.
[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
Does anyone else noticed that while recording video the exposure value sticks at some level?

I mean... When you point your phone on dark corner of room and start recording and then (while recording) move camera to eg. computer screen it should lower the exposure, but it doesnt. In effect i cant record what i have on my screen. This works in opposite way too (start recording well lit place - in dark you cant see anything). Is there a way to fix it?

Another thing.. is there a way to refocus while recording?

Green lense defy owner ;)

auto brightness

hello all,

I read each and every post over the last months and I just remembered the auto brightness bug and from memory you had to set custom brightness levels right?

Is the bug supposed to be fixed (because I still have a strange behavior and covering the sensor doesn't change the brightness at all.)

If not fixed: What are your values for the brightness and why is it not listed as a consisting (maybe not fixable) bug?

plus: The buttons seem to fire up every now and then without any indication.

thanks to the devs and contributors. I'm just trying to understand. ;)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks again Quarx. I did try your newest build last night but didn't know about this camera improvement at the time.

And although I like your builds because:

1- I like your centered date display when the notification panel is pulled down;

2- they seem to be very good on battery: BMW reports sleep state of 4mA and even 2mA in airplane mode at night!! --> which is almost the best I've ever seen!

But then I've decided to revert back to Epsylon3's Jan 27th for two reasons:

1- I've noticed that when I have wi-fi on, my logcats are filled with a constant flow of this entry:

wpa lib [D]scan_get_by_bssid: bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX <-- my MAC address I presume

-->and I mean I get this entry more than twice every second!!

2- Your builds do not have the "Volume key beeps" muting option [see pic] but only a ~"Prevent silent state change by volume buttons" option.

-->Now that I have had that option for a while on Epsylon3's build, I can no longer stand hearing that annoying sound when using the volume keys...

Any plan on including this in your build?

And BTW, I went ahead and tweaked my media_profiles.xml [in /etc directory]as in your commit and yes it helps with the video recording and although it's still not perfect, they also play better with KMPlayer as well [still choppy playback; but VLC plays them perfectly]. So thanks for that as well.

So

Defy+ owners

can also tweak/improve their video camera manually by doing this as well: just read my 2-3 lines here above again!!

READ the very one post just above yours!!

OK edit: I read 'change zoom while recording' but still, you should try what twa_priv has mentioned.
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
I love the new nightly - one thing though, can I change the date display when you pull the notification shade down to be like the last stable version? It used to still show the time, battery status etc. Screenshot of new display for comparison:

EDIT: Also, can I change the transition animations to be like the ones in stable too? Where the animations would move to the side, rather than 'zoom'.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Today's build as something similar :) try and report :p Yaffs Explorer scrolling is now finally as fast as CM9 and Stock roms :p
[Defy Android Development] duendetuc:
Too many good builds. Thanks you all. I dont know wichone should i flash... I would like the quark's camera fix in the epsylon build.

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
PLEASE READ!! I just wrote how to tweak the camera as per Quarx's commit. And twa_priv has just mentioned (like it was also written many times) which Camera.apk file to use/replace.
[Defy Android Development] nov.six@qq.com:
I saw there is a independent apk of RomUpdater in Your server, and the MD5 is diffrent with the apk in your zip ROM, is it the same? or the independent one is the lastest one?

Qurax is merged blade style unlock, and Qurax's build fixed light sensor.

Fixed choppy video recording.

might you merge it ? thanks!

Morning all ..

I've got an original Defy, which is currently running CyanogenMod 7.1.0-11 Stable - can I just download one of Quarx's nightly builds from http://ge.tt/8rDd1nC and flash it via the custom recovery option ?

Bit confused with all this talk about kernels etc ... My Defy identifies itself as an MB525 model ?

Cheers

Mark
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
you can install any cm7 defy version (not defy+)
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
Evening mate! I have a Defy MB525 that up until this-afternoon, was running the same version as you (7.1.0-11 Stable). I was bored at work so decided to update - it's so simple I did it all from my phone.

Download the 31/01/2012 nightly (try from here http://www.defy-cm.net/jordan-cm7.2-nightly/cm72-120131.0531-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip). Let it save anywhere on your SD (default /sdcard/downloads if you do it through the stock browser).

Now hold power, go to reboot and select 'recovery'. When you get into recovery, do a nandroid backup. Then flash the new ZIP to your phone.

When it's finished flashing, you will want to go to advanced and wipe your dalvik cache. Then reboot. It will take ages to boot up so don't be worried.

If it bootloops, pull the battery and turn it on again. Happens the first time I boot after an update for me, but then never again.

Hope that helps!
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
@devs

Is there any way to make Shutdown Pop-up feel smoother?! This is the only thing that still lags on the phone...can you please take a look?
[Defy Android Development] Hider141:
Or if the bootloop occurs you can just press the Power+Vol Up+Vol Down keys to do a force reboot. But only after 4-5 minutes of no activity (you can usually know this if the touch keys light stops blinking).
[Defy Android Development] nov.six@qq.com:
the lastest build of Epsylon3's CM 7.2 Defy has the BUG of FC with Camera,

and after I replaced the file \system\lib\hw\overlay.omap3.so frome Qurax build, and the Camera can work.

hi , Eps, might you fix it? Thanks!

and I saw some bugs fixed in Qurax's build, might you merge it?

[Defy Android Development] vap_66:
Using the nightly from 27 january, by Quarx. It works fine (green lens Defy here), but as [] AL [] said, it would be awesome to get rid of those annoying beeps when using the volume keys. Could this tweak be integrated in future builds? Thank you.

[Feb 8] Edit:

- I am adding a patch for this same nightly for Camera fixes ONLY - no additional tweaks;

- And the UNDO patch for the transparency -if you've installed ALs tweaks zip;

Please notice that:

-You can undo any of those by just going back to custom recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik cache only (not data) and reinstalling the same nightly zip.

-For some of the tweaks of the tweaks pack to work (VoiceSearch for example), the tweak zip has to be installed after the gapps (if used).

- if you are still seeing the boot animation after 5 minutes, you should try pressing volume up + down + power buttons at once to force a reboot OR pull the battery out, back in and reboot.

- In order to make sure that cm7 has a proper kernel to work on, it is recommended to install a boot build (like the RC releases, stable-release, 7-11-11-11, etc..) before moving to the nightly builds. But, you can skip this by installing the CM7 signed kernel (not the same for Defy_plus builds) at the time of the nightly zip installtion. (before or after the nightly zip - but before reboot)

I tried to use the latest nightly from Quarx, to fix the choppy video recording. But my phone is stuck on CM7 logo. :( Already pulled the battery twice, wiped dalvik and nothing. What else can I do?
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
@Quarx: is there a way to change the color of the miui style battery bar? btw, love your build, its simply great. :) one more thing: i see that this is cm7, not cm7.2 (at least it says so in about phone). whats the difference? what am i missing that i had in cm7.2?
[Defy Android Development] iammodo:
Right under battery bar option is.

Battery bar colour. Use that.
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
umm, under the battery bar option i have 'compact carrier label'. no battery bar colour. i use the 01312012 nightly from defy-cm.net. what am i doing wrong? :confused:

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
OK, sorry; I forgot to add the attachment earlier on... I just added it now.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks.

I did start a thread about a few (not all) tweaks that i use on CM7, but it didn't recieve much interest -it seems. So I just let it die...

I'm thinking of making a thread on how to make the things I make...if you follow me...; but we'll see... :)

If you installed my patch over Epsy's Jan31st build already, you can reflash that nightly [without wiping data].

Or, since I'm a nice guy:), you can flash the patch attached here.

--> Alternatively, flash in this order: nightly + other patch + this one

LAST

.

That is because SystemUI.apk is not an easy file to replace on a running system [i.e. without getting into problems]; Android is basically using it constantly and the usual trick of overwriting the file with a root file explorer and setting its permissions might just not work so well...

And next time PLEASE do NOT use full-quotes. And that means use the "Quote" button: fine; but delete the un-needed part of the quoted text. I (and probably many others) do not need to see my long post again. ;)

Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
That build storms through big folders with lots of files or thumbnails. I tried having a look at my /dcim/.thumbnails folder in Astro while settings it to show the preview thumbnails and it felt like my phone was overclocked at 3GHz :p

Now I can see that my sd card r/w speeds are the limiting factor here; just like running an OS over a SSD vs a HDD...

So my reporting is: a big "thumbs up" on this Houston.

->got themes

There are much uglier things in life that even themes or make-up can't makeup for...

I get your point, but your comment is a little arsh against all the good work the devs are putting in CM7. I am greatful that there is still devloppement going on with this rom after all this time; especially that we know for sure that Motorola will just leave us us hanging with no OTA updates to Android 4 anyway.

--> maybe you should show that you also feel the same way a little ... ;)

Feature Request: is it possible for the alarm to work even when the phone is switched off like Nokia. ;)
[Defy Android Development] vanyas:
It is impossible in android.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Sorry; I feel like I'm spamming the thread here with so many posts, but I just had to give a try at this one...

When your Defy battery hits the 5% mark, you can do a few things:

- switch your phone to airplane mode and stop all data traffic;

- make sure that you have alarms set to "always play on speaker" in the CM7 options set;

- keep the display off;

That way, it should keep you going for a good 6 hours -which should be enough time to find a charger somehow...

- you can also also use apps (Timeriffic is a decent one..) to automatically set your phone like so every night or any other time frame or situations if you like...

In the last 10-11 months that I've had my defy, I think that it has been off for less than 2 minutes... [if you exclude the (many) times when I was just rebooting or after flashing something;)...].

So no offense here please; I mean't to cause no harm, intend to make a judgmental/detrimental comment, no direct attack or use provocative language here...[hello my friends the moderators].

It's simply that I couldn't figure out the need of parallel(to OS)-loading alarm app kind of thing...

Cheers.

And same goes for Sigray above...

I've made a "x-mas joke" about 9-1-1 and Santa not long ago that got me 2 weeks in the xda pen for "gloating"; so have a little sense of humour with me please.
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
Read again my first words about the CM7 builds...I LOVE this rom, its a good thing if my biggest "problem" is the ugly colored icons, dont you think?

Fair enough, but you also had and I quote: "hate badly__ CM7' and this is a maybe a 'bad thing' or at least 'big words' also - don't you agree?

I've just rooted a friends defy and flashed this ROM (latest stable version).

From my limited testing most things appear to work well. I intend to give it back to him tomorrow but I have a couple of quick questions if someone would be kind enough to answer.

1. The phone charges fine when connected to a computer but not at all when connected via USB to a wall charger. Known bug? Any fix?

2. Does not detect the presence of of the sd card. (a reboot fixes this)

3. It kills my wifi when I try to connect - it did this on the 2.2 ROM it came with as well. Is this a known defy issue or have I just reached the limit of devices I can connect?

Sorry for taking up time in the forum :-)

Thanks quarxs for his great work on CM7 and CM9

*Thanks to epsylon and maniac too

If you like to say thanks to quarxs you can donate some money. You can start with 1 Euro or 1 Dollar.

If 222 people donate only 1 Euro he can buy a second defy (bayer device).

Maybe

he got 720p working on cm7 and can test soc and bayer camera with CM9

I'm currently experimenting with that stuff (mainly for call forwarding info, but call waiting is also included). You can grab my latest build here and give feedback. A toast should be shown whenever the call is held on the remote side and when it's released again. The UI for that probably needs some refinement, but please give feedback whether it works at all first ;)

Help :(

Think my Defy is bricked :( :(

Was previously running CM 7.1.0.11 Stable, but having a week off work, boredom etc crept in, so thought I would flash the CM9 build by Epsylon3 ... this went fine, but was still a little bit too buggy for my liking, so this morning decided I would go back to CM7 stable ...

Went into recovery, actioned factory reset etc, flashed the CM stable build and rebooted. Now my Defy is stuck on the boot screen - can't access the Recovery menu or anything ..

Any idea's ? Have I bricked it ?

Hi,

i am a bit confused where is the link for CyanogenMod 7.1 ( 11-11-11) stable by Quarx?

do i need to install the CyanogenMod 7.1 files first and then the Quarx files or Quarx file are full upgrade ver ?

i am new to this i have htc legend and its work a bit different then Motorola.

When u restart by removing battery .. press the volume button when LED turns blue..then u will enter recovery.. There u flash the Froyo Kernel..

Froyo Kernel Link : http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM7_Kernel-signed.zip

Or Flash Stable CM7 build (7.1.0) .. when i tried eppy's ICS .. i just came back and flashed CM7 (7.1.0) stable build and it worked for me .. dont flash nightly builds as they may not have kernel included...
[Defy Android Development] mark.peters:
Thanks ... but when I re-insert the battery and power the phone on, I don't get any LED indication at all. Nothing lights up (apart from a boot screen), so I can't get into recovery at all - even though it has been installed previously on the phone.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

Oh, hang on.

Pressing volume up & power on takes me into Bootloader ... that bit works.

Pressing volume down & power on (eventually) displays a screen with yellow exclamation mark inside a triangle beside a little green android.

I'm thinking I have to re-install a recovery, ie Clockwork MOD recovery ..
