I take that by slow; you mean the apps download from within the Market... There's no fast or slow gapps package and going back to cm7.1 will not help... You just did something wrong somewhere... Yes, just try to re-flash that gapps first.

That's correct, most cm7 (all but Maniac's) builds will use whatever boot.img and devtree that is currently (last) installed on your phone. Now again, I wouldn't go back to 7.1, but do this:

wipe all (cache+daya+Dalvik)in custom recovery;

install a recent nightly and that gapps;

boot up and skip any setup asking for email;

set your baseband and wifi and reboot;

leave 2g/3g data off (but you need background data on in accounts & sync settings), turn on wifi and just then try the Market.

You should see a screen where you agree to Google terms of service and where they ask to add an account: do so. Leave a few minutes to the Market to update itself to Play store or force it to do so by clearing the market's cache and data (settings/ manage apps/all).

I'm feeling like a noob all over again.

I'm trying to install the latest CM official nightly on a friend's green lense defy and I can't get past the boot logo (after getting the recovery blue and green lights).

I've done a factory reset in CWM and in the stock recovery. I've also re-downloaded the zip in case of corruptions.

So basically I did the following:

Installed froyo via sbf, rooted and installed sndinit

Reset factory defaults via stock recovery

Installed CM7 Kernel

Installed update-cm-7-20120509-NIGHTLY-jordan-signed.zip

Installed gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Cleared cache and dalvik

On the first boot, I got the CM7 animation restarting, so I pulled the battery and did another wipe in stock recovery.

Now I'm stuck at Boot Logo.

This is my first green lense installation, I'v e done close to 10 red lense installs without a problem.

Any advice?

EDIT: Downloading maniac's latest to see if it's better, I installed the cm7 build above on my wife's red lense without an issue (upgraded from an older nightly, not a fresh install)

EDIT 2: Restarted from scratch again with a fresh sbf flash... working again.
[Defy Android Development] kapil_dheer:
This happens for defy. He you search, you'll find a way to recalibrate the battery using this method.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Why kernel? I don't think installing cm7 kernel is necessary since you did an sbf flash. You said its working now... Did you flash kernel this time too?
[Defy Android Development] Gazm4n:
CM7 sometimes stucks in bootloop at the very first start. Just pulling battery and restart would have solved this.

But a factory reset in stock recovery deletes any cistom ROM.

[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
As far as I know there is no harm in installing the cm7 kernel. It gets you onto the Nordic kernel.

I think the part of the operating system not changed by cm7 was somehow corrupted.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

This wasn't a boot loop, it was a boot animation restart... there is a difference.

A factory reset in stock rom only deletes data, not the custom rom... make a backup and give it a try ;)
[Defy Android Development] markos807:
Should I flash froyo sbf again,or can I just flash CM7.1 over CM7.2?

Also,the link for download is dead.
[Defy Android Development] Gazm4n:
Concerning the boot animation restart you´re right, I took the wrong words. But I got it with several nightlies since Epsylon´s 7.1-11 and every time just pulling the battery and restart did the trick.

A wipe data in custom recovery deletes /data. A wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery wouldn´t leave even 2nd-init on your Defy - so trust me, don´t give it a try! :)
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
better than pulling the battery, you can press power and Vol + and - at the same time during boot and it will restart the boot sequence

I don't know what your problem could be here..

But have you considered doing like many of us and just get rid of gallery all together [delete Gallery.apk from /system/app] and install QuickPic instead? It is lightweight, has no useless 3D effects, very quick, works well with the camera and is more customizable (show/hide folders/videos...).

I'm not paid to do this adverstisement :) but I think the move is worth it..

I'm using maniac's 0516 build and after some hours i get full internal memory message.

/data/tombstones/ had a 800mb file in it, i deleted it but the message persist and the internal memory got full again

edit: I was able to connect to my internal memory using Android Commander but i can't anymore, it says my defy is offline...

edit2: using system tuner i see that /system/bin/debuggerd is consuming 8.4% of the CPU processing power, i can only imagine that some debug mode is ON and is causing the memory crash

Edit3: I killed the debuggerd process, after a while I had the 800mb back. I'm not sure what happened but it's ok now
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Sorry for another little off-topic post here...

But I've been looking for something like this for a while now and thought I would share what I found here. [it's that or open a new thread just for this...]

It's an (old) modded Black/TouchWiz styled Calendar.apk -just for looks- that can replace the stock one on cm7 (and on cm9 - I believe).

I found the modded app here and there might be one or two other apps to try there as well..

I've made a instalable zip for it, but before you flash, go and rename (the extension) of those 2 files -in case you want to revert-:

/system/app/Calendar.apk
/system/app/CalendarProvider.apk

Edit: and also make sure you sync your calendar with Google first to avoid losing entries...

Cheers.

It is not so easy ;-), but anyway CM7 only would be great.

There are some buids (all r great ;-)), but the thread was started by quarx and 7.2 in his numbering is only nightly as far as I know, and maniac's is RC1 - but belive me - it does not matter. Nightly or RC x all are fully functional and I cannot find any bug in them, and each time I try CM9 (once per week) I go back asap to a different CM7, just to give them all a try.

Big thank you for yesterday's build.

[Q]: So the large thumbstones problem should be history now? ...excuse my incompetence in this field, but I couldn't spot which recent commit would be the fix for that... Thx again.

Edit:

Regarding this Close notification view when swiping away the last notification: good idea, but I've noticed that if other app(s)/services are using static (or not) notifications -like usb connection and/or SmartAppProtector in my case [pic4]- then swiping/clearing the last "swapable" notification (email/sms/calendar...) doesn't close the notification panel.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Probably one of the ongoing notifications was marked as clearable. I guess I'll change it to only take non-ongoing notifications into consideration for whether to close.

BTW, this build should also have a workaround for the DSP manager FCs. Root cause is a crashing mediaserver - does anyone remember what he did (involving camera, video or audio) before DSP manager crashed? I'm still hunting for a fix to the root cause, but I need to be able to reproduce it first.

EDIT: Actually it would be very helpful if everyone can do the following:

- open terminal emulator app

- enter 'su'

- enter 'grep mediaserver /data/tombstones/*'

- send the matching files to me

Maybe I'll find a pattern from that.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Wow! you're fighting on all fronts!! Thanks.

In fact, I was partially wrong: I believe thsat it was the usb connection (charge only) that prevented the notification panel closing. I've just swiped one now with same setup but unplugged and it closed... no biggie either way..

For DSP: most of mine were: in a phone call, take the phone off the ear to hang up and as soon as the screen lights up bam! fc.

I was using N7 music player up to a few days ago and going for PlayerPro instead... I wouldn't be surprised if part of the problem was ther... I recieved almost no calls -if any- on this SIM... But will sure submit thombstones if happens.

My dream is that this gremlin also has something to do with the videocam stuttering /freezing ...but that's maybe Defy in Wonderland...
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I don't think that's unlikely - after all, the problem is a mediaserver crash.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Did you have a fc of DSP?; that just means that the tombstones include no mediaserver related entries...

- - -

Two questions:

1- I thought there was a new commit regarding the phone numbers formatting.. Where is that and how does it works? And would it be a unique and general setting?; what if I have 3 different phone formats: xxxx-xxxx, xxx-xxxx-xxxx or +86-xxx-xxxx-xxxx?

Also on this: currently if you want to re-format a number like 123-456-789 and place you cursor before the 4 and hit backspace, it will delete the first dash AND the 3 at once; not very convenient...

2- The recent haptic feedback for power widgets: is there a way to decrease it? I've tried to edit the 3 or 4 settings in "Haptic feedback tweaks" section, but felt no difference for those. I also though there was a recent commit that reduced that vibration; for me it's still too strong and I'drather have the same response as hitting one of the 4 hard buttons instead...

No DSP FC over the last few days; good! ...but that ain't helping Maniac in debugging... :(
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
What are you talking about here? :) I can't follow you at the moment.

Currently the strength is hardcoded. Where can I find those tweak settings? Maybe there's a setting I can use.

Please still check the tombstones from time of time. Mediaserver still can (and probably will) crash, I just avoided the FC that appeared as a consequence.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I've probably mis-interpreted this commit for something else... :o

Here, residential phone numbers have 8-digits ##-###-###; mobile phone numbers have 11-digits: ###-####-####; and sometimes, I have to add +86 in front of those to be able to call those contacts --> so 3 ("+86") [or 4 if "+86-" is added] additional digits...

That makes for looooong phone numbers and hence the need of a certain "number formatting" with the "-".

I thought there was a new dialer settings option somewhere to do this.... me bad!

..But, there is a currently a slight issue while doing such number formatting manually: see pic 1... (back key deleles the "-" and the "3" at once.

OK, that's what I suspected..thanks. Still think they're set too high; but I do want to be b_.g for nothing... :p

OK good to know, I'lll sure do. ;)
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Thatcher commit is for disabling the automatic phone number formatting in the dialer that previously was done unconditionally. It can be found in the dialer/contacts app options.

Yeah, I'll change it to respect the haptic feedback tweaks settings. That's a much better idea than hardcoding anyway.

Funny you mention this: I was just trying this out and I must admit that so far, I'm impressed..

I'm using SIO sched + BoostedA..v2 gov -> first time that a different governor wows me. Responsive all around, free ram seems to stay up after using (and closing) many apps -heck, even the camera seems to start faster. So far, no videocam freezes, but that will need more investigation...

Only slight drawback I've noticed: my clock widget and my weather widget were all scretched out when I returned to a home screen from the camera. For sure, a restart of ADW launcher solves that, but what is better is to lock the launcher in memory [cm7 settings/Performance/Lock home in memory]: no more problems with widgets.

Exciting stuff; I can't wait to see [in a few days] how's the battery doing with this and most importantly, if this will be the cure for the videocam.

Fingers crossed.

Install Gingerbread over froyo

Dear Members,

I have seen lot of posts saying Gingerbread is more battery efficient than froyo.

Is this true & worth switching from froyo to gingerbread?

If it is good, I will flash gingerbread but want to install CM7/ CM9 finally. Presently I am on CM7.2 RC1 & love it over RC2 for its battery performance.

Will the results even be better once I change to GB & then install CM7.2 RC1 on my defy red lens?

Please guide.

I would rather like to have downgradability intact to froyo for warranty purposes. In that case, I will have to flash fixed GB with nandroid backup.

I tried searching on XDA but links seem to be broken being old.

CAn a learned member clarify all my doubts & provide me a detailed step by step guide for update. The guides available / I have seen are incomplete & seem to be leaving the user in between.

Hope I am not asking much.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Your not asking too much; maybe just not at the perfect place to do so...

But rapidly:

I doubt that there is such a battery usage difference between Froyo and GB, but your free to try it out anyway.

There are no downgradability issue because you should not flash a GB full sbf to do so. BUT, you will have to use a Defy PLUS (or CM9-GB) specific builds AND then also install a GB kernel from a zip.

If you ever want to return to Froyo, you'll have to use a corresponding CM7/CM9 build and then install a Froyo kernel zip [so download and put both GB and Froyo kernel zips on your sd card]. Maniac103's builds include a froyo kernel: so no need to flash froyo kernel if/when you come back.

Kernels in flashable zips here

Gingerbread builds: (check the dates..)

Epsylon3's Defy+ builds here;

Quarx Defy+ builds here;

Euroskankl Defy+ builds here
