Are you shure that you change the right line, and did you save correctly the file, when you save root explorer make a backup of original file - build.prop.bak, if that file does not exist - than you change nothing.
[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:
Well... i have the .bak file and the line i changed is:

#use default multitouch configuration

persist.sys.multitouch=8

before it was:

persist.sys.multitouch=2
[Defy Android Development] delerium82:
Wich program you use to test the multitouch point? Try "MultiTouch Tester".
[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:
this is the one i use...

a friend sent me a link to a apk "defy multitouch enabler" from market.

as he showed me, it worked.. but i still want do have it natively on my phone :S
[Defy Android Development] delerium82:
So, with editing of build.prop does not work, but with multitouch enabler work, am I correct? And why you need more than two point of touch, since allmost one year, I never need it more than two touch point - I try it more, but did not see diferent, also I play games. And if I am correct, I could not help you why editing of build.prop does not make changes to your phone, I try to change and it works for me.

Maybe a bad question, but did you restarted? ;-)
[Defy Android Development] Fekish:
hello,

This is a stupid question but i would have to ask.

I have installed the ROM on my brother's Defy over a month ago. Now i tried to make a backup of the phone and then update the phone.

However in which category of Recovery should i go as i dont understand what to press in. Recovery?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] mihovil13:
Custom recovery....

I have a question. Which one 720p recording mod for CM7 RC1.5 is the best?

Or at least, is there any 720p rec mod that works properly?
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
or you can just siply use this:

[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:

@All

thanks everyone about the Defy Multitouch Enabler..

i already saw it, but i still just want to make it do multi-touching without that :(

Im running RC 1.5 and up to now its been fine for what ive used my phone for.

But now the Wifi has just suddenly died - its right next to my router, and it wont connect, under the wifi settings menu it just lists it as not in range, the same for other hotspots/wifi access points nearby.

Also the wifi analyzer app shows no wifi points in range anywhere.

Im goign to try the latest nightly to see what happens, any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Mm, plenty, but I'll tell just one:use the force (search)
[Defy Android Development] WIIstpM:
I can't XD I'm tired of switching ROMS all the time... Anyway I'll stick with WIUI, atm... You know what? Thank you! you helped me to make up my mind, really :D

Patience is a virtue..
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
persist properties are different from other properties.

They can be stored into /data so that you can keep your settings even if you flash a new cyanogenmod version.

So, instead of defining this setting in /system/build.prop, i suggest you to save your multitouch points value in /data/property... You have two way:

Run this script in the shell ( it may require super-user permissions ):

setprop persist.sys.multitouch 8

Create a file named persist.sys.multitouch in /data/property/ which contains the touch number.

Then, reboot ( or reload the module ).

It should work.
[Defy Android Development] Misak:
I just put RC 1.5 on my Moto Defy and i must say that i'm surprised how faster and much smother my phone is... effects are really beatiful and i didn't find any issue so far...

thank u for great ROM...
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Can that be used for ro.battery_light=false?

Edit: Btw, rotation animation will be implemented?
[Defy Android Development] jovus:
Anyone solved the syncing problem on RC 1.5?

I am actually thinking about switching to Rc 1V2 or some nightlies..
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
This is interested for me too. Could you add the rotation animation from Milestone 2 rom?

And what about bluish theme from same rom? (battery 1% value in a blue circle, blue wifi icon, bluish progress bar)

compass works fine too.

also camera is fine.

[Defy Android Development] hailmary:

i have mine in pink effect :D
[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:
I guess that i did something wrong :(

did the first version of the solution... opened the terminal, made a su permission and wrote the code above... didn't return any error.. restarted my cellphone, ant tried again on the multitouch tester... and nothing more than my 2 spots :(

---------EDIT---------

Hey... btw.. just checked the second option, in /data/property is already that file, with the value of 8 inside it...

so would that be another method that won't work for me?

Some people mentioned something about weird overscroll effects, I guess this commit about 16bpp may have something to do with it. Did not install this nightly myself though so I cannot say if it's better or worse.

I'm using RC1,5.

My wifi is fine. My GPS works flawlessly.

I'm running the phone using my CPU at 1.180GHz with an overclock. I have not modified the voltage stuff (do I have to do this ?).

My score is around 2500 with quadrant.

This post was written just to tell you that I'm really fine with this rom and this phone.

The only thing that is annoying to me is the camcorder that is not working.

Thank you so much to the CyanogenMod team for providing such a good rom !
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
The camcorder should work just fine. What is the exact problem? Maybe you did not select 2nd init as default in bootmenu?
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
its better..im on latest knightly.

i can say it looked a little weird coz the color looked more solid than grainy as before. its the only thing i notice abt it...pink gradient rule!!! lol (many laughss):D

The settings will only change to default if you flash a BOOT Nightly.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Note for all caring about the charging LED: The next nightly will change behaviour. Instead of setting ro.battery_light to true or false in build.prop, you can do the following in a shell (adb shell or terminal emulator):

To switch charge LED off: setprop persist.sys.charge_led off

To use white LED while charging: setprop persist.sys.charge_led white

To use the existing yellowish mix: setprop persist.sys.charge_led rgb

This setting will be kept over new nightly flashes (until a data wipe).
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
led behaviour on mine is fine-(white seems like a dead bootloader indicator) :D

whilst charging:

steady red on drained stage

blinking yellowish mix on mid charged

steady green on full

notification leds on blinking green-but changeable under cyano settings.

[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
maniac example has a typo :

it is setprop persist.sys.charge_led white , not persist.sys.charge_led_mode

and white led is only used when "charging", not at 100% which stay green

Hey... just found something that is at least interesting.

While using the camera... if you set it to 5MP, it works OK. If you set it to 4MP(WIDE), it keeps working OK. after you set back to 5MP, we have a stretch image of what's on the screen. but the picture will not get the stretch image...

it's just something strange... does anyone experienced that? or do i have a magic defy that has some unusual problems(like the multitouch that i can't activate with the normal ways told here. only worked using the "defy multitouch enabler")

Android Marked Crashes

I'm new to Android Defy Root. Tried MIUI DEV ROM but there was to much Chinese in there and a bit unstable. I've tried this ROM instead Defy CM 7 RC1.5

I cannot get the Android Marked to be stable. It crashes all the time. I guess I've missed something. After WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) before ZIP install and then Advanced selected "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and Reboot, I installed the Apps from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ including Marked App. Now I cannot get the Marked App to work. So may someone tip me in the correct directon on how to solve this issue?

[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
oh yaeh? then why did so many complained about short battery life when wifi and/or data connections are permanently on?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Because he may not use the phone in the same way, he my not get the drain, but assuming there is no bug because *you* don't happen to experience it is narrow minded.

And by the way, another new WiFi module appeared on the GIT, I'm testing it at the moment.

Just for information I'm running the 110908-1724 Nightly with the BOOTWIFITEST2 kernel/modules & it's running great - no signs of the Android OS/suspend bug that I had previously which in turn if left without a reboot would consume battery charge very quickly so I'm very happy with this current set up. Nice job again guys.

As mentioned previously I have the same issues as u...so far there are 3 person facing it include you and me...it seems like the new kernel conflicting with our phone or sd card or some apps...I have tons of apps too and after restored all of them and move some to sd card my phone having infinite restart...

I find it too hard to resist this new version so I am going to wait for a fix or solution. Having all apps on internal memory makes it pretty fast but "Soon I will run out of internal memory!"

By the way I am not able to move apps to SD card from Manage Application settings. I have to use Titanium Backup for doing that. I have checked "Allow application moving" in CM settings. Any idea?

you will need to edit the custom light levels.

Cyanogenmod settings > display > automatic backlight > check the use custom and under the light levels > edit other levels

you have to set the number of levels here. since CM in default has only 5 levels. when needed to increase the brightness the values goes up immediately which causes the flickering.
