Now I have it installed and I am really surprised, how much tweaks, cool animations, theme changer and much more is in this ROM.

Great work. Hope you´ll have enough time to make the final version some day.
[Defy Android Development] paijho158:
maybe because boot.img is from 3.4.3-11 so the kernel still be froyo version CMIIW

Hey, I'm on 155 SBF

When I install CM7 it starts to CM7 Bootlogo and then go into a loop, all the time ...

What do i have to do to get it start correctly?
[Defy Android Development] gkrananth:
I flahsed again 3.4.3.11 (Fixed) after install CM7. Make sure you have selected 2nd Init in boot loader.
[Defy Android Development] Blackcorsa:
Have someone checked it ?

Does it work ?
[Defy Android Development] Jojo1992:
I will try it later, so

1. install Bootmenu

2. Wipe all

3. Install zip

4. reboot --> flash fixed sbf

5. reboot --> Go in bootmenu select 2init

is that right?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
I'm now upload TEST Build... with more changes in RIL.
[Defy Android Development] Blackcorsa:
that hears nice.

Are you thinking that it does work ? I mean, have you tested it ?
[Defy Android Development] Domingo2010:
Nice Quarx! We will try.;)
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:

[Defy Android Development] Blackcorsa:
thanks.

Only changes in RIL ?

So i have to flash 3.4.3-11 and then install this TestBuild ?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
This does not affect ... any sbf must working.

Compass fix maybe - not tested.

did you try 3g fix?
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
Will 3g-fix help me? Because I'm not using any Data-Connection since I have no flatrate.

But I will try.

Edit: Which Fix I have to apply? There are different frequencies. I'm located in germany and my Provider is "1&1".
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Out of curiousity, I just did an overnight standby battery usage check with RC0.

From 100% (99% really), it went down to 93%. So about a 6% drop for a 12 hour standby on 2G only - no synching.

This mean ~ 0.5% / hr or a max of roughly 8 days of standby. (Althought I greatly doubt that the battery discharge rate is linear)

I don't think that my phone was doing much better than that on Froyo.

Now I'm wondering though; would launcher pro (and the browser mentioned) bring a real battery usage improvement with its hw graphical capabilties? That would be really hard to test though...

P.S.: my 'test' was done using setvsel at 22/300 only since i selected "limit cpu to freq 1 when screen is off". Governor set to on demand.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
the lastest nightly cm7-110606-0542-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip has a new "Suspend to RAM" feature... which disconnect the phone from all networks until power button is pressed...

actually, some features of RC0 could be missing in the recent nightly builds because we are working with official cyanogen team to add defy as official supported device.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yes, try sbf_flash on linux, or change to another usb port or another cable
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Some sort of temporary Airplane mode? But what is the benefit of that (as oppose to using an Airplane mode) other than not having to press a switch button after turning on the display?

I use "Timeriffic" app to automatically turn on Airplane mode ON/OFF each day - pretty usefull to avoid getting waken up by wrong number calls or sms in the middle of the night...

[/QUOTE=Epsylon3;] actually, some features of RC0 could be missing in the recent nightly builds because we are working with official cyanogen team to add defy as official supported device.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I read that a few pages back that you were doing some cleaning up before passing build over to the CM7 team... This is awesome news if we can get them to work for us also- hehe!
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
Maybe they can do something with my battery drain issue...in RC0 my battery drains much faster...maybe Im doing something wrong..

Desde el defy papá!!!
[Defy Android Development] darklord408:
No Problems for me as of the moment for CM7 RC0

the only issue remaining would be the BT + FM bug. and then it is perfect!
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Folks,

But I am still not able to get into recovery at all. so how can I wipe data and factory reset or root the phone when it wont boot and wont enter recovery. The bootloader works fine though and the phone is atleast charging so no mcgwyer scenario for me .. touchwood.

Can someone not diagnose this problem and gimme some ideas on how to avoid it?

Can I not wipe data/factory reset the phone through RSD only? Can I do it via ADB with a phone stuck in bootloop?

Can installing either the Nordic or the Indian SEA-15 ROM over this 3.4.3-11 UK Blur ROM, brick my phone? I'm just plain scared/afraid of what to do next!
[Defy Android Development] floydz:
you can boot up with power+volume down pressed and enter stock recovery.

when the droid apears, press both volume up+down together and you'll be in recovery, just wipe everything and start over.
[Defy Android Development] fefopumper:
my notification led do not turn off... =[
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Floydz,

I am doing that but stock recovery does not load up. I am at a complete loss on what to do. Seriously.

If you wish - I can make a video of the booting process and email it across. Trust me, recovery is just not coming on.

Infact, this behavior was happening, even when CM7-nightly was running. That is why I had to flash the UK SBF.

Is it safe to flash another froyo SBF on top of this Blur UK Froyo SBF??

PS: The volume down/up buttons were working fine earlier, lest anyone wonder.

EDIT - I did a google. There are some other motorola guys with similar info here - but what is the solution here guys?

http://androidforums.com/droid-all-things-root/105756-stuck-boot-loop-cant-get-into-recovery.html

but I've already pulled the battery etc. The only thing left is either a UK reflash, or flash with the Nordic or the SEA-15 . Any ideas, folks?
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
This is already fixed in git, so it's working in the latest nightlies and will also work in the next RC - whenever that will come.
[Defy Android Development] abunene:
Is it just me or the led notification light in rc0 just show green color??
[Defy Android Development] floydz:
yeah, it is.

i had a similar problem and i flash like 5 or 6 full service sbfs before i could make it to work, even those 2.3.3 oficial leaks. Its not that easy to brick this phone, so keep trying until you get. Btw, does the droid from stock recovery even come up or u cant axx that at all?
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
The stock recovery droid does not come up at all. Did that occur with you?

That is the problem. Just the usual Moto logo. Then 20s later, the blur animation comes on. So I shall go ahead and reflash Nordic then.

Atleast its still charging, so the battery stays at 100% :p

EDIT: If I plug it in to a charger, it shows the battery charge status. if I plug it into a laptop, then it boots. Why so?
[Defy Android Development] floydz:
Idk either.

What i know is that i had to go macgyver with mine, battery went off and the stock recovery was still acessible even without charge.

But yea, just reflash a new sbf over it, then go back to the one u want to use as CM7 base, and do the CM7 install process again, you should be fine.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I'm a little confused with the latest nightlies. Which builds are in which folders? I used to get my nightlies from http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-cm7_nightly/ but now the http://defycm7.tanguy.tk/ also has nightlies which are not the same ones!

So which are which, or which are recommended?
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
@hitanshu,

Try to flash a different sbf...then try again.

Try the monkey method after flashing...it worked on mine on most critical tines like yours.
[Defy Android Development] sc00by666:
flashlight in last nightly not working.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:

[Defy Android Development] priyansh17:
go ahead man...it will be ok
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yes, just fixed in cm7-110606-0945-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip (us mirror)

sorry but i cannot upload each build everywhere... i also make code, review, and many command line commands about git ;) and my website is a little Via NANO and cant handle all the defy owners of the world :p

http://stats.wdscript.fr/defy/2011/06/awstats.awstats.en.html

almost the same bandwidth in 5 days than in whole May
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
No such problem, I was only asking if there is some difference on the builds each mirror holds. Like different repos or something? Or forks?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Oh, and a question I forgot: Is the phone supposed to wake up if an incoming call arrives from the STR state? A couple of tests I tried, it woke up.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
no, all nightlies on these sites are from me (us mirror is floydz server)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
By the way, I didn't let the phone in STR for long time, so not sure what will happen if I let it sleep for say 30 mins or 60mins. Calls may get rejected, I will have to test .
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
good question... i think this feature is not fully complete... also led notifications are working. There is a problem (submitted in cm-gerrit)

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5924
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
According to this, it should disable everything and wake up only from the power key. I guess not working properly yet as you stated.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
What is the monkey method?

I flashed the NORDIC sbf and its still in the boot loop.

What now?

Thankfully its still charging and is at 100%
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
As mentioned, the only way to escape the loop is to wipe from the stock recovery. Inability to do so means something may got corrupted, and motorola service is your only option.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
Or make a custom sbf, and use adb to repair your recovery partition, if you have backup before....
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Not everyone is a dev or familiar with the inner workings of Android. The method could work, but there is no guide to it, so if you don't know how to do it, you just can't.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I notice that recent updater-script have commented these lines

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p15"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

So the cm7 install will not change kernel. I tried recent SEA sbfs and get loop of reboots with recent nightlys. I think these SEA kernels are not compatible with 2nd-int. Is that comment a safe mechanism?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yes it was, because modules and libs needs a compatible kernel version...

There is a lot of work to do to test new 2.3.3 libs and newer kernels...

Maybe we will be able to keep original system libs in a near future... and we (maybe) have to do that for an official cyanogen version... dunno if we have rights to publish roms with motorola compiled libs...
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
great news
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I personally think it complicates matters. As Epsylon 3 stated above, the devs may have to follow certain rules, not necessarily to the best interest of the functionality of the ROM. We'll see.
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Somehow not able to download nightly from my phone, anybody else?
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
where?

Must I install SetVsel? In 2ndBoot under System/overclock there are some SetVsel options, but not the one of sdcard read/ahead size... :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
We dont have sources of bootmenu... so we cant add that.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
After the UK reflash, two further reflashes wth NORDIC solved the issue on like my 50th reboot. *sigh*

Next time - absolutely must wipe cache/data before a nightly install (if I ever will do it!!).

RC0 is nice but network initially had problems and sort of force closed. Otherwise all good. Titanium backup is restoring all my user apps now :)

thanks everyone!
[Defy Android Development] stapuv:
So once again it seems it's very hard to destroy a defy. :D:D:D:D:D
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
I think your device is not in good health... did you overclocked it too much ? bad sbf flashing just tell you Error xx or Code Corrupt on reboot and you are then able to reflash directly, you are in the bootloader

made that many times (even unplug usb or remove battery while flashing ; )
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Battery drain

The first RC 0 is running great for me. But with SetVsel and without the battery drain is a bit high. (Normal usage... just surfing and chatting a bit)

2 hours 93% remains...
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Just installed the latest nightly from mirror but I think the wifi indicator is not yet included as it behaves same as before.

[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Ok, thanks for posting it

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Heh. I did escape - thanks for your support, as always.

I had overclocked it previously only to 1.1 Ghz / 58 which was stable as per a couple of folks here only. Then the nightly had setvsel operational. I uninstalled setvsel before flashing the SBF.

With the nightly, the custom recovery was just not accessible. So I ended up flashing SBF without wipe/data reset. I think that is what caused a boot loop. But if CM7-Nightly wasn't entering custom recovery (pressed vol down on blue led) then what else could I have done? Could I have installed another custom recovery? or reinstalled 2nd init?

With RC0 - its absolutely brilliant except the proximity sensor. It just doesn't let the screen switch back on - after the call. I have to connect it to charge or so for it to work. Just clicking the power button doesn't switch on/off the screen like previously. (wonder how u mods develop

I am beginning to miss the b5.1 so much!! It was just brilliantly stable and worked out of the box.

Settings:

Through cyanogen - upto 1Ghz, ONDEMAND, "Set on Boot".

No other fancy application on my phone.
[Defy Android Development] rdel67:
I'm so sorry the battery is draining that quick! RC0 WOULD be my favorite if it hasn't that 'problem'.

Going back to beta 6...
[Defy Android Development] paleszgergo:
yea, battery drains too fast :(
[Defy Android Development] teamet:
I installed the RC and it's working great - but there is no light in the touch buttons anymore..

How do I re-enable the light in the touch buttons?
[Defy Android Development] minievya:
BS you.

a good share,i think.
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
Disable and enable autobrightness.
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
so...

And do you have a script to flash in recovery to set and make new read-ahead values permanent in order to achieve a good sdcard performance?
[Defy Android Development] stapuv:
how fast is that????

1day and 12h 50% with 25min call and ~30-40min of play, and on 3g
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
RCO... use Settings-CM_Display-In-accurate proximitry.
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
But that dont allow me to cancel a call, and if I have a mistake and call to somebody... lol Fast battery pull out!
[Defy Android Development] teamet:
Hmm it sorta works.. disable autobrightness keys turn on, but when enabling autobrightness again keys turn off again..

If i restart after disabling autobrightness i can enable autobrightness with the keys turned on.. however it only lasts for like 10 minutes or so..

BTW battery monitor widget now states the battery as only having 1200 mAh?

EDIT: I enabled automatic brightness in the Cyanogen settings, and apparently this fixed the problem with light in the keys..
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
Jumped from Nightly 1421 to RC0 a couple of days ago, wiped cache/dalvik cache.

Noticed no (extra) battery drain after the update. 4,5 days on a single charge. Light usage with data and sync off, wifi on, 2G, a few sms and phone calls, some gps testing.

Issue with FMRadio/BT still remains, same with wifi icon. Torch ok. Camera still buggy.

Will now install Nightly 1316.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
is it important to wipe cache/dalvik cache or is it ok just to update it???

and do we have to do battery calibration everytime we update? coz my battery drains so fast and sometimes it suddenly jumps 10% (like 50% to 40%) :(...any idea??
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Battery is ok. 36h withe cm7 rc and 37% left. 1h calling and 4h wifi surfing.

I did battery calibration.
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
Battery life is great on RC0.

I charged my battery last friday 2pm, and the battery is gone on sunday 9pm.

The usage pattern is medium, surf web, play angry birds, read emails, tapatalk, etc.
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
Not sure about the cache. Just my normal procedure when upgrading.

Always use Battery Calibration to reset stats (after charging to 100% of course), switch Baseband (if necessary) and update gps-fix update zip for your country after each update.

EDIT:

Wifi icon works in latest 1316!!
[Defy Android Development] darklord408:
In the nightly 1316, did you notice if BT +FM is now working properly?

tested this issue in RC0 when FM is on BT wont turn on. but after you turn off FM it gets back to normal

thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
Will test that right away when I get home. :)

Were you able to redirect FMradio sound to BT-headset when wired headset is connected (as antenna) after you turned off FMradio? Can somebody conform it's possible at all on the Defy to redirect sound to BT when wired headset is used in FMradio?
[Defy Android Development] SpawNyK:
well maybe the devs can add the command for the speed fix to the init.rc file like it says in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

*Edit:

Oh i see that the read_ahead_kb file in our CM7 has the value 0 kb , not even 4 like in stock roms, wonder why :/

*Edit #2:

Changed the value myself to 4096, and had huge improvements, checked with SD Tools from market.

Hope something will be done to add this as a startup line in CM7, and if not i would like to know if i can flash one of the files listed in that thread to permanently change the value, without doing something wrong.

And one more problem :

I just flashed CM7Phone-CrystalTalk.zip found on this thread after flashed the latest nightly, and ive got the options in my call settings, dunno what exactly to choose from Clear/Crisp/Bright, i just used Clear.

But the problem is that in my call window bellow the callers name and phone number ive got something written in chinese. WTF. So can i get rid of the chinese writings? Or get rid of CrystalTalk? Because its annoying.
