Try opening the camera options and tap on the Long press focus option. When this is enabled, you press the camera button and keep it pressed until you hear the sound. This forces the camera to focus, and it also lights up the flash when doing so.

I just want to thank all the devs and dedicated defy users that have contributed to bringing Cyanogen/Gingerbread to my Defy. Currently I get around 36 hours battery life using CM7, setvsel, and HE Launcher (personal preference). This is the reason I wanted an Android phone!!!!!

cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan.zip

this new one force 177-005 modules installation too, and seems really fast...

i remove the other boot177

Its better if modules and kernels are from the same source... Its why i backup modules in nightly versions since i don't upgrade kernel...
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
i was using cm-7-220608-0930 nightly i tried to wipe data from custom recovery. it would delete data then cache then the phone would show nothing just blank screen and would not respond. i had to remove battery.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yea there are new issue in recent recovery versions... on almost each commit in fact :/ so ive added a 'stable' recovery in bootmenu the one present in rc0... even if it was not so secure... it doesnt lock the device on restore... manual restore is recommanded with old one
[Defy Android Development] nisamtetreb:
Maybe the battery drain is caused by the market trying to update the oi file manager?
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
Hey guys,

My friend told me that on Beta4 he can wake up the phone to show the lock screen using the Volume keys. I guess, this was a bug on CM7. I'd like to knok how can I insert that "bug" again :), if posssible.

class >6 sd card problem seems annoying..

on many app it says my sd card not present, but still mounted on settings.

have to remount, but sometimes got hangs, and can't reboot, have to battery pull of.

is there any fix for this?
[Defy Android Development] rafaelsartori:
just check cyanogen options, "configurações de entrada - Acordar com botao volume" (sorry, i dont know the exactly name in english).
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Using this, if you use to end a call using the turn on button (in accesibility) if you are in a call, the screen is off and you want to increase the volume, the call will end.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Installed it. The voice/video chat has been removed from Talk. Not a big deal for me but it might be for others. Haven't noticed anything else.
[Defy Android Development] YashBhatt:
I just flashed RC0 but i have this strange problem...

I can't hear anything when i call or when i receive a call....I can still hear the incoming call ringtone...

Music/Video works fine so this isn't a hardware prob.

Maybe a Baseband issue ?

Plzz help :(

EDIT : Fixed it...freaking baseband prob...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
That's not quite it, in the official gapps packages from Cyanogen the version of talk with audio/video was never included. You can read why in this page: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ just scroll down to the bottom.

How can I set Wifi aways on even if the screen is off?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I thought everyone knew that, on the WiFi menu, press menu button, go to the settings and set the WiFi sleep policy. If you have done that and it still fails, you have a separate issue.

Guys quick question, i'm currently on MIUI, i like it alot but it still freezes and reboots alot of times and it doesn't have Portuguese dictionary on keyboard.

I'm now getting back to CM7, flashing 177 nordic sbf atm.

Is WVGA already working in the latest nightly builds? And are they stable?

The latest is this one i think cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan from today.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
It works, just the preview is not correct. Since you are already flashing you will soon find out what I mean. Also, I assume you are asking about the photos. Widescreen video already works with no problem for some time now.
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
widescreen video works on RC0 too, but still choppy, few frames drops.

is it fixed on latest nightly?
[Defy Android Development] rvd_516:
tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache and even wipe data & factory....but problem still persists..any other alternative
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Didn't try in today's nightly, but I assume it still drops frames every now and then, there were no commits on the GIT about the camera.

By working I meant it has no crashing or blank screen issues! It does need improvement in the smoothness though.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Try today's nightly version. If it still persists, install everything from scratch from step 1: flashing the sbf, just follow the FAQ guide but instead of RC0 use the latest nightly version.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
not in latest nightlies, but maybe there's a lead for Quarx:

"...On a side-note, this problem is very reminiscent of an issue I had a few years back with WM which, if I remember correctly, turned out to have something to do with the phone going to sleep before flushing the sd cache (something to do with sleep mode and timing/sequence of events)..."

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/issues/230

and again

@Ep3

would it be hard to add to each nightly .txt which will have latest 10 changes from github rss feed?

https://github.com/CyanogenDefy/andr...ngerbread.atom

it'll make an easy changelog for each version

just attaching the current rss data will be great as well

Up Today, has gone 2 months since that Quarx started to porting CM7 to our Defys (April 13), in the meantime, more developers joined to him in this adventure.

I want to congratulate to every developer that work so hard to bring us this excelent rom, and invite to every user that find it great and useful to donate to they !

Really is awesome that without support of big companies, manufacturers or Cyanogen people, this few people have made that more than 20000 users have installed this rom and became in the fourth installed version of Cyanogen Mod 7.

The project is not only based on the "jordan" repo... its hard to add the RSS of all these directories... its possible, all is logged in git logs but i need to create a tool for that...

damn, shadow (Droid 2) is now an official CM7 device and not us :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
You were working to get it official, right? Forgot something or maybe they had a mistake?

About changelog... I saw that they were in the github, but not for the entire project, and was hard to follow all of them, so I follow the twiter :D (thats the only I have in my twit account lol)

I think that you shouldn't create that tool, with the twiter is enough, and use that time better.

i use class6 of 8gb transcend and it's fine. go for it.

what overclock problem do you have? i use setvsel from market and it just work awesome. my setting are:

-> 30 300

-> 40 600

-> 55 1000
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
are you on the LATEST nightly build? it wont let me overclock to 1000 which its supposed to be at, its stuck at 800 no matter what settings i change, and i cant change the vsel's or the battery threshhold. i dont think its scaling my cpu either
[Defy Android Development] Ryanze:
oh sorry i don't know if you are using latest nightly build, i am currently using quarx RC0.
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
exactly my point :(
[Defy Android Development] danielthuy:
On latest nightly cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177 , i have a "red screen" . Dunno why? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
You can have that in any CM7. That is a "Render Effect", in CM7 settings.
[Defy Android Development] danielthuy:
But when i try to change the Render effect , it's still there, always reds , i will try with a normal nightly , not boot 177-005 ( i flashed 3.4.2-177-005 Nordic).

Edit: I think the problem here is Chainfire3D, sorry guys , i managed to solve it by myself :d

The latest nightly is very stable and so fast , thanks Quarx , Epsylon and others devs here
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
There's no overclock problem, just set the OC/UV at bootmenu. And yes, I'm using the last nightly 20110615-1323 :P
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
I have the latest cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan.zip

For me is just perfect, seams stable and everything seams to be working out of the box.

Battery draining seams ok too.

Widescreen photo seams to work but only with 4MP, this is normal right? Or is it possible to achieve 5MP wide?
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
Exactly! ive reflashed the nordic sbf twice(clean install) because ive set the vsels and other overclock settings in the bootmenu multiple times! i made sure enable overclock was on and load all modules. When i boot phone, it still max at 800 mhz, i even go under cm7 settings in settings menu, performance, and it says max 800 mhz and gives me the options to click 1000 mhz, i click it and it resets to 800.
[Defy Android Development] defyno1:
This happened to me too.try to set the clock2 under 800(like 790)
[Defy Android Development] Ryanze:
yes that's normal, don't know what is quarx mean with next version about widescreen photo, maybe it's a fix for 5MP widescreen photo.
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
what do you mean clock 2
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
It's normal for this option (performance -> cpu) show the incorrect values, it's this way since the first release. Just ignore it and use some serious app to monitor cpu and see the status. I'm using CPU Spy right now to see how much time my phone stays in every frequency. And don't load all modules in Bootmenu, it's not needed. Just set your frequencies (the default is 300/600/1000) and voltages, save and exit.

--

Can someone confirm if flashlight is working when recording videos? I think this problem is very old, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
well in an app like setvsel, it shows the cpu always maxes at 800 mhz when i set the max to 1000

"Motorola will release software updates for its phones that will enable an unlockable/relockable bootloader, similar to the one found on the XOOM Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet."

"The statement from Motorola is as follows: "We've confirmed that Motorola will enable an unlockable/relockable bootloader, currently found on MOTOROLA XOOM, in future software releases where channel and operator partners will allow it. It is our intention to include this feature in software releases starting in late 2011.""
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
Good call! For some reason, if the middle clock is set to 800, it'll never go above it even if clock 3 is set to 1200. As soon as I changed it to 790, everything started working correctly (shy of Cyanogen performance settings showing the correct max value).

Thanks!

Question:

"IF" having the nordic base is really better for CM7 ...

for someone using something else than nordic sbf as base, would using the boot177 version be benificial or detrimental?

I mean that the 177 kernel loading should almost be like having flashed the nordic sbf 1st no?

I'm asking because last night I quickly downloaded the last boot177 and installed it.

I figured that if Epsylon3 says it's fast it and talk about it it should be worth a try...

Verdict:

same problems as the last post-RC0 that I've tried (June 10th): small but very annoying audio sync problems while watching mp4 videos (not 720p; just nomal size ~480x270); both with the stock CM7 player or with RockPlayer.

Also getting random video artifacts; just like an overheating gpu would give (reminds me one of my old ATI cards).

Can't stop, kill, rename or freeze DroidSSHD to avoid it running.

Widescreen pics on-screen preview and pics thumbnails are stretched (still !!! wtf?)

...and there ended my trial !!

I doubt that my base Chinese sbf is at fault here (never had unusual issue from beta 4.1 up to June 8th nightly with that sbf) and I can't believe that no one can reproduce that audio sync problem...

Back to my 'tweaked' RC0 - which works wonderfully.

Forget my previous post on "my Defy runs hot" --> it does, [2-3 times I couldn't explain a sudden high mA usage], but in summer time, holding the phone, having the screen on for a long period and multi-tasking will get any rom hot.

I also believe that some battery drops might due to the fact that if a device that was boiling hot, it has an 'inflated' battery voltage which migh drop sharply once things (cpu, screen and battery) cool down (after 5-10 minutes of rest); hence the fake high mA usage and %batt drop.

BTW, the last update of "Battery Widget Monitor" now shows a timeline of when the display was turned on; very useful for analyzing battery usage...

And if you experience any standby battery drain, please use Process Monitor Widget or any other tool right away to check what is taxing the cpu and battery.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Interesting. Like I posted earlier, my proximity sensor stopped working with the Nordic SBF. Now back on UK SBF and it rocks - so there is something to your theory of Nordic SBF NOT being the perfect choice for everyone :)

Its been a full day and not ONE instance of the proximity sensor failing to switch the screen on during the call. So that's a heads up for those folks with the problem who were struggling for a solution!

Phone is India, apr 2011, red lens.

I can clearly see that in these 18 hours since yesterday noon or so - it has used very little 1Ghz. What particular setting do I do that it becomes a bit more responsive - earlier Cyanogen settings -> Performance had an "Interactive" Governor. Now its ondemand. It just allows userspace/performance. What do those settings mean?

can someon explain the diference between a NIGHTLY and a Boot-177 ????
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
@Epsylon3 I think you need to put the explanation on the first post!

The ' Boot' bit means it includes the kernel from the rom '177'
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
I'm note sur that explaine in first post can help.

This question come more 10x and explain by Epsilon.

It's easy to understand that 177 is based on 177 kernel and so is better for 3.4.2-177-005 Nordic rom for best issu.

AND remember nightly is for dev for test some modification.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
It may help in some cases- searching from the xda app is ineffective, and some just won't search or look back through pages for an answer. But if it is placed right below the Nightly's link on the front page, along with an explanation of what a nightly is, surely some have got to read it.

Um yeah som a basic final question, i might be overlooking something, but if i make a Nandroid backup om my Defy (Green lens) and THEN flash in Cyanogen, and it plays out that the camera doesent work, can i make a simple restore to my full stock rom and the warranty will be intact? :)
[Defy Android Development] shamo42:
In the app, you have to long press on the carrier of your choice. A short press won't change anything.

If it still doesn't work, kill your market app (Vending.apk) and try again.

Delete the apk and reboot.

The only annoying bugs in the latest nightly are the stretched widescreen cam preview and the artifacts during video playback.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
so.. is it just me who don't know what is DroidSSH for?

is something like FTP Server to transfer file between phone SDCard with Computer?

if that so, it's same function with Motorola Phone Portal right?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Part of it's function can be used for filetransfer, but it can also be used for secure access to the underlying Linux operating system running on your phone. Not really useful if you are not a developer or an advanced user.
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
With Droid you can use winscp to connect to phone and explore all files and you can ofcourse transfer
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
okay, when i open it with FileZilla, it only show /data/dropbear not /sdcard

how can i set transfer location for file transfer?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Try to give an absolute path to Filezilla to switch to (/sdcard). If it doesn't work, have droidssh run as root and retry

"artifacts during video playback" --> thank you! I'm not alone !

No audio/video playback slight out-of-sinc by any chance?

--> to go back to cpu throtling:

(# >sorry if a little out-of-context..then skip the read and ignore my post-plz>>)

I remember when last draining my battery down to zero, that my phone was running A-OK (even playing Asphalt 5) when setvsel was limiting my cpu to freq 2 (under 10%batt)...

It seems that with gouvernor set to "on demand", anything triggers a f1 to f3 move...

How can I make more use of f1-f2 (rather than a full on/off full blast mode like that?).

Even with "up_threshold" set to 95% f2 is not used much...

I could try to set f2 to 700 maybe and "Limit to VSel2 on battery<90% and use that as a switch when gaming or pushing the phone. But that's a little inconvenient....

I wish that we could have an easy CM7 "eco-mode" toggle switch ;)

Something like:

f1/f2-only - eco/normal mode

f1'/f2'/f3' - performance mode

My understanding is that for more snappy UI, "interactive" mode is better...Is SetVsel ok with that? What is battery drain benifit/drawback?

Bottom line is that the Defy (and CM7) already runs very well at half (or less) the cpu full power...so I'm not after high Quadrant scores but I would rather prefer to have a more "eco-friendly" phone and a more effective "cpu gouvernance" option.

Crap with eco-friendly; just a longer lasting Defy :p
