[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
will be a new "base" to post on main topic to replace beta 6

since Cyanogen 7.1.0 is not released... it can't be final for the moment...
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
A RC is a RC, not a nightly. Nightlies are build by more or less taking a snapshot from the sources and compiling them, that's why they are released in short intervals. No testing involved and often not even build by hand.

RCs are like betas builds made at a certain point of development, in the case of the RC it mostly stands for a feature-complete, almost (or completely) bug-free version as a last instance for tests ahead of the final version.

So, no, it doesn't have to be a stop for nightly builds.

And that is indeed why I can't understand people wanting a RC right now. Huge bugs and issues still persist (camera, (a)GPS)) so you could easily lable it beta7.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
will be RC0, "tags point" are on now on github :p

also this RC0 has "tags" for each subproject, to be able to revert "easily" to this point in repo
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
What's the problem with aGPS ? never had problem with that... on which kernel (date needed) ?
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
@epsylon

Why did you removed the 19:42 nightly?

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
I made a new Swype installer.

Now you don't need to reboot in to recovery in order to install it.

1) Just download the attached zip.

2) Unzip.

3) Copy it to /data/local:

adb push swype-installer.sh /data/local/

4) Run the installer:

adb shell /data/local/swype-installer.sh

Done.
[Defy Android Development] Jefgenowitsch:
Did you fix the double tap on a word problem with this installer? Because it isn't possible to change a word from the selection by double tapping a written word.
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
I can't reproduce your problem.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Kewl! Thanks.

I beleive that I have your old zip installed - ...but I'm not sure about its exact source anymore...was in another thread and much bigger w multiple languages though.

Anyhow, could you tell me if French included and if so, is it qwerty or azerty?

Not such a big fan of that soft but installed the afore mentioned one coz the OP then said that it included French Canada..

But it turns out that it is using the french azerty style which isn't used in Canada....
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
Oh, I am sorry! I was mistaking this with the issues MIUI has, as I'm testing both atm.

As a hint, for me it worked pretty well installing this along with the .zip(s, both from Cyanogen and MIUI) during fresh install.
[Defy Android Development] seukumeama:
because this nightly has a market bug ( cant download )

now i down the most recent to try if the problen has benn solved
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Because i dont want 50 messages with "I can't download from market"

RC0 incoming.... please clear dalvik-cache for this one...

Here is my repo state at the RC0 build :

https://github.com/tpruvot/android/commit/b08f2b82b494f5813a4c72a67432488df7213293

available on the US mirror...

Camera works only on zoom 4x but with a real Zoom
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Good news Ep3! I will test it eventually...

Will you update the thread's OP and change log?

One last confirmation: when you say wipe the Dalvik...before AND(?) after the flash in custom recovery?

And clearing that and the cache would erase my installed apks' caches or not?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
no it's just compiled cache of apk code

i think quarx we be there in 2 or 3 hours...
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
yeaahhh..RCO incoming...that means new batches of knightlys to battle...its going down!!!:cool:
[Defy Android Development] Dark_Plasma:
I have the same problem

Sent from my lightning fast defy running CM7.....
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
I dont work on all sub-projects... and this part seems under work by Cyanogen team (like the new "Copy All")

Are you talking about Swipe ?? never seen this feature with standard keyboards...

edit : seems to work here if you talk about word suggestions on top of Android Keyboard
[Defy Android Development] seukumeama:
why i just flash the latest nightly like usual and i runing proper fine
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
RC0 is a more recent nightly ;)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
"Camera works with 4x zoom only but with a real zoom..."

Nice! Coz I was wondering what was all about the big foss around the camera zoom - which I always perceived as an useless (size shrinking) digital zoom....
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
hmmm i mean... a real digital zoom ;) previous nightlies only have some vertical only zoom (tests to implement the Wide VGA)

damn... look like there is still bugs with that... dont let the WVGA on Camera close... that cause problems on reload
[Defy Android Development] Dark_Plasma:
Yea sorry was taking about swype. It was directed to @dedraks

Sent from my lightning fast defy running CM7.....
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Ok! Yeah thought about it afterwards and realized that an optical zoom was a wild dream...

Poblems w RC0, well...that's why I wrote "will try eventually"... Really appreciate your efforts to bring a RC, but no rush! We waited that long for it; we can wait a little longer to get a top notch one ;-)

Just getting the news on an emminent RC made my day already....
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
...i also hope that the RC0 flashing would not require me to start/stop deamons or tweak market download setup...

It would be a shame to get a rc with a battery drain issue..

But then again, who am I to complain?! Which I'm not BTW
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
You can also try TSwipe which is really fast, but available only in EN, PL, ES, TH and JP
[Defy Android Development] lackyking:
Oh, if anyone can help me for this issue?
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
awww.... sh*t... :(

i've installed the 19.42, and now it's removed because market can't download.

is there any link for RC0? i don't familiar with github things and compile it..

or there's update zip workaround for 19.42 market problem?

thanks :)

------------EDIT: found the workaround, sorry :)
[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
in the parent directory from where we ware downloading nightlys you will find RC0. i have already installed it,but i dont know if it is "official" since Quarx didnt uploaded yet to first page. THANK YOU Quarx and Epsylon
[Defy Android Development] Dark_Plasma:
Where can I get that? Wasn't in the market. I looked on google and found one site not in english and I'm not at my computer at the moment.

Sent from my lightning fast defy running CM7.....
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Why isn't the wifi status doesn't get refreshed. I am just 2 feet away from my router and still status is fair.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.thaicomcenter.android.tswipepro

it is on market
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
Epsylon did u install RC0? What about it, how does it feel? hehe
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
I think the rc0 still has the download issue as I can't download apps.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
do we need to clear cache before installing RC0?? or is it ok no to clear cache

plz reply..
[Defy Android Development] Dark_Plasma:
Thank you lol I spelled it Tswype instead of Tswipe

Sent from my lightning fast defy running CM7.....
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Do not clear, if you clear you need to create the download folder for market to download app.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
kool...thanks :) ...how is RC0 btw? stable? any known bugs?
[Defy Android Development] Corwinder:
Well I installed it. It also has the market bug. Download arrow shows just for a second but nothing gets downloaded.
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
try this workaround.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
why lots of peoples having problem w/ market?

mine is on the latest 0516 but i can download & browse market..

i just downloaded yaffs explorer by tanguypruvot..very cute app:D
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
the latest nightly is cm7-110603-1942-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip mate

but it was removed, because market-fail-download problem.

but there's workaround for that.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
And back to the battery issues, after 9 hours of pure stand by on 2G, 13% battery down. Disappointing...
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I assume you do not have anything installed apart from the clean rom and/or have ruled out it is caused by anything you have installed afterwards?
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
With rc0 there is no lights in the buttons if you have auto brightness on.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
check the cyanogen manual sensor settings... sorry i need to sleep now...

a new rc will replace this one for a line in /system/bootmenu/2nd-init/init.rc sigh... pushed on my git

i will let Quarx doing that...
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
You really need,bye :)

Just saw it, now Lord Quarx is on ;)

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Ok I installed the RC,everything is veeery good rdcept the wvga camera.

It scratches things, but the preview is same as the result.

And when I set a 5x (in wvga mode) zoom the camera freezes and fc and I need to reboot.

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
where u get the rc?:eek:
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Open the page to the nightly's and go then into the folder us mirror;)

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] lionel126:
i can't wait anymore haha
[Defy Android Development] ezantera:
I get too low signal in 2g mode on rc0. I dont know situation on previous beta. 3g is working fine.

Anyone have explanation?
[Defy Android Development] terrydaia:
Congratulations for this RC0.

Is this RC0 only one of the last a nightly labelled "RC0". Are current nightlies suited to it or specific nightlies will come ?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Currently testing th 1421 nightly for battery performance. If it is still bad, I think I'm gonna wipe the damn thing and test with pure Android only, no apps.

For the RC, I'm gonna ignore it, will keep installing the latest nightlies.

My thanks for all the effort to Epsylon 3 and Quarx.

Btw, the only Epsilon 3 I know is the planet below Babylon 5...
[Defy Android Development] Fotogravin:
Did you change to the right baseband with baseband switcher?
[Defy Android Development] Fotogravin:
I am using the 0516-nightly now. Phone is off charger since about 15 hours now, I had a 40 minute phone call, wifi on, 3G on, synchronization on, did some browsing and stuff, have left 46% of the battery, Running 39.1%, Screen On 14.3%, Phone On 4.3% Wifi On and Wifi Running 100%. I think that is pretty good.
[Defy Android Development] iamoct:
OH Yesssssssssss !

RC Release :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Defy Android Development] onlyshe:
Well done!!RC is coming!
[Defy Android Development] businessman9:
bluetooth problem solved in rc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
blurcamera works well in widescreen
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Hehe RC0 coming there i know but..) I'm so happy that I've put a quick avatar together for the occasion [hope there's no problem with that from CM7].

@ Quarx:

if and when you do fix the init.rc for the missing Gapps download folder and post the RC0 on the thread's OP, could you maybe also clearly state what kind of wipe it is suggested to do?

Epsylon3 mentioned that we 'have' to wipe the Dalvik but when and from where;from custom or standard recovery? ...and before and/or after the flash or else?

Same for cache...??

Just to get everyone (noobs like myself I only maybe...) on the same page...

Also, in the current change log it is stated that the auto-brightness bug "-fixed in beta6" --> from what I've seen it was fixed in nightlies, but not in beta6...

Thanks again and congrats for that big milestone: first RC badge is nice. ;)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
After testing cm7-110601-1421-NIGHTLY all morning, I can safely say it has no battery problems. 2:30 hrs and only 1% battery spent, same apps, no settings touched. The latest nightlies are all defective in that regard. I created an issue in github for this, definitely a bug that entered the code sometime after 01/06/2011.

For that reason, I will refrain from upgrading for a while until the specific issue is fixed. Or unless a dev wants me to test, I can never say no to debugging stuff!
[Defy Android Development] x249541389:
how to download the resources in this froum？
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Please read the first post of this thread.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Which BT problem do you mean?
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Just downloaded RC0. :) Does this update include all the extra zipped updates? Also the 1% battery?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yes it does, no need for additional zips.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Great, thanks! Also, how do I safely update 2ndinit? I am using 1.3 now and last time I installed 1.4 the phone did not go past the bootmenu anymore, even when trying 2nd init manually. What might I have done wrong? Maybe I should completely uninstall the bootmenu with the app before upgrading the app and installing the new bootmenu?
[Defy Android Development] samo_ak47:
FLASH HW is here!!!

wow the new RC is excellent, it now has Hardware flash decoding so flash video is silky smooth!! Dontation on the way!! (DUDE GET PAYPAL U WOULD BE ROLLING IN IT!)
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
The one where FMradio freezes when BT enabled / No BT when FMradio is started. Can't confirm, still on nightly 1421.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
By the way, I found a fix for the 'FM radio does not work with bluetooth on' and the 'Wifi indicator is stuck' problems ;) - will send it to Quarx for inclusion ASAP.
[Defy Android Development] the|gamer:
Hi,

Speakerphone is still not fixed!
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Speakerphone works as on 177-Nordic.
[Defy Android Development] the|gamer:
Hi,

for me Speakerphone still has the other Microphone :/

Is this a bug or a feature?
[Defy Android Development] lamer:
The hell, you would.

Thank you for all your hard work.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
If the PayPal comments is for Quarx, no, he cannot get PayPal. PayPal for some reason doesn't support Russian citizens properly.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Got bored, installed RC0. BUG:

I try to reboot, the phone stays indefinitely in "ReBooting" on the screen and never reboots. I have to remove the battery to un-stuck. This was working in previous nightlies.

EDIT: Hmm, on the second time it worked. I will keep trying to see if I can reproduce.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
after a few hours with test3.zip and walter tips my phone doesnt hangup.the bug is back. I will try Dialer One.
[Defy Android Development] mussio:
i think i know how to add apn settings manually but what are the settings for usa?

please help i have no data

i got a 1883 on quadrant on 2nd run. @ 1ghz
[Defy Android Development] astearon:
Don't trust quadrant untill 3d is fixed, a lot if those points are there because it does not render stuff.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
Yes, to come back to froyo i just restored the 3.4.2 stock nandroid, flashed its fixed.sbf, rebooted, installed system recovery, restored my LiquidArc backup, then flashed its .sbf. Voila
[Defy Android Development] fefopumper:
How can I downgrade to froyo one time I installed this rom?

Sorry for the english...
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
There is no need to flash stock.sbf. Just get into BootMenu->recovery->wipe-restore
[Defy Android Development] codingrobot:
What is the role of the previously flashed SBF? Does it affect the baseband in any way?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I think it doesn't affect the baseband. Baseband files are located in \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default

while the install zip replace all the file in \system

here's a tool to help you switch the baseband.
[Defy Android Development] dornellasrj:
Skype didnt connect here
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
why u don't add the reception-problem to the bug-list?

I really want to use this rom but without reception it's the same like without RIL.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
reception and drop call

The same problem
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
Ok sorry, I thought this were different things because the workaround doesn't work.
[Defy Android Development] Blackcorsa:
Hi Quarx,

have you any idea to fix this call problem ?

I hope that you or anyone else can fix this.

By the Milestone works CM7 ;)
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
I'm trying to find where the problem ... need more time ...

The problem appears randomly.
[Defy Android Development] yishisanren:
good

thanks to you~
[Defy Android Development] dskrilz:
my experience/issues thusfar + attempted (temporary) workaround:

wiped cleared cache flashed 3.4.3-11 sbf

rooted installed recovery wiped everything again applied beta1.zip

got a phone call couldn't hear anything when I answered/couldn't dial out/missed a bunch of calls from my gf (didnt even recieve them)

rebooted answered a phone call it worked fine, could dial, then issues reappeared, applied various .zips, calls wouldn't work at all or only for a while; the vibrate settings didn nothing (in my case)

my attempt to get it working for now:

cleared wiped started fresh from korean base (don't know if this matters i just know that one guy who said he installed the zip over the korean said calls worked fine, nobody else said they installed over the korean so i figured it was worth a shot).

calls didn't work on first boot. I applied radio.zip and installed "dialer one" thinking this would prolly avoid the end call problem and i could just focus on call reliability. dialer one =(market- free) like the other guy suggested (i had tried this before but this was after experimenting w/ the test zips, and calls weren't working). dialer one at least solves the end call problem. ill let you guys know how reliable it is after i get a chance to test more. hopefully their will be a fix when i wake up.

quarx awesome job!!!

...............sorry for the slack typing its late, im a zombie.

btw navigon crashes when opened low priority of course, but i feel like pointing out minuscule issues will collectively help solve the bigger probs behind them
[Defy Android Development] dskrilz:
also, is anyone else surprised how many users seemed to try and download the alpha and discuss the possibility of a CM7 rom, and then the thread slows down after the beta and there are only a few attempting to help fix the calling issues.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Try test5.zip
[Defy Android Development] ABC_Universal:
comeon! the beta was released just less than 24 hours ago! ;)
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
I think it would be wise to have a development and a separate discussion tread. Because for Quarx this way is almost impossible to find the relevant information. And for posting bugs I think it would be a good idea to post logcat and or kmsg. Without them Quarx have to reproduce the bug and it takes lots of time for him.
[Defy Android Development] puked:
Yeah - that`s fooked -.-

I suggest, you find some trusted member in a supported country, who sets up an account for you.

Can`t be to to hard. (I would do it - but I`m a stranger -.-)
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
thats a classic sd-card problem.

which one do you have?
[Defy Android Development] Khrushy:
I'd do it. But then I'd run off with all your money.

Wait. . . . I'm meant to keep that part to myself aren't I? :confused::confused:
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Damn! It's a class6 Transcend 16GB microSDHC.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
for me i suspect it happened in the following cases:

1. camera FC / fail to take a photo etc'

2. deleting two files one after another.

in the last week i'm using setVsel "sdcard speedfix" and it didn't happen at all.

until now i never heard about real data loss - just corrupted files during write or read.

* I have class 6 micromax 16gb card
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
It just happened again. It gets stuck on reboot. Since you also have the issue, and you do know of this workaround, there must be some software fix for this.

I will file it as a bug in github (if anyone reads them anymore).
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
I have a class12 Pandora card of 8GB and have no issues so far, using it for more than a month. How to detect problems if any,

from SD tool I get write speed as 13 MB and read as 30 MB / Sec.
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
is the Wifi indicator fix a minor tweak or it should be done by Quarx and we be able to update?
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
i've tried to investigate it a lot.

sometimes i couldn't even boot my phone due to a faulty file in the startup process - so had to remove sdcard and run chkdsk on it.

it happened also to Ep3 and many other users even in other devices.

i guess that its due to how Fat32 FS works and the possibility to get "lost files".

maybe in win32 there's a routine to validate the map file in every reading so it won't get stuck when it gets to a corrupted data.

what i can't understand is the reason it happens mostly in large (>8gb) sdcards.

thought it's a power issue and that overclocking solves it but couldn't confirm it for sure.

its one of those bugs that the whole android world suffers from it.

my workaround in the mean time is to use this "speed fix" -that - i believe - helps.

a chkdsk app for android would be great.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
it didn't happen to me for 2 month until i switched to 16gb card.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Already installed SetVsel and using the fix you recommended. 2/2 reboots succeeded, will keep testing until I am sure this is indeed fixed.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
GREAT!

that's why i offered @Quarx & @Epsylon3 to "simulate" setvsel speedfix in init.rc or similar after most of the boot process is done.

+ i've found the most relevant opened issue in CM7 bugtracker:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3315

specifically:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3315#c37

"

I wonder if a patch is needed similar to:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2010-December/042769.html

The bigger cards may be reporting a larger block size which is being ignored plus they cannot operate with the smaller block size.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
OK I give up!! I got 1 hour of free time and RC0 is on my desktop...

After leavy the Defy alone on standby (2G only no synch) for 3.5 hours, the meter just turned to 97% (was at 98% after 3hours).

So to ccav2000: sorry, that's all I could test on that may 30th 1247 nightly.

I'm using a Kingston 8GB µSD and have always been (since March) using SetVsel's speedfix and 22/300, 34/600 50/888 settings... never had encountered the memory card bugs mentioned above.

OK, I'm out; RC0's waiting for me....

BTW, Congrats to Ep3 for his latest 1st place award in WinDev competition.

Toutes mes Félicatations Tanguy!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I'm sorry too, went back to 1421 01/06 nightly, not really for the battery but the reboot issue.

With RC0 even with the SDcard fix of SetVsel, Reboot from the menu fails frequently. With the 1421 it *never* fails, always reboots when I choose to. Sorry but the RC0 as well the latest nigthlies are much buggier to me.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
I have never had problems with rebooting...

SD 16gb 6class...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I believe you, but it is unfortunately not the same for me. Also I suspect the issue is not the SDcard. Nightly 1421 works fine as I said. I don't know what more to do, I am not a dev.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I have all the good faith on the devs, so I will try a wipe. Wish me luck!
