Great job guys :)

I took the plunge yesterday & loaded RC0 & the process went very smoothly.

I don't see any battery drain issue in standby - overnight for 8 hours it only used 4% battery & that's with wifi turned on so just the same as I was getting with the Moto roms - very good.

Droidwall latest version works fine & the market downloads worked straight away as well.

Boot up time for me is:

25 seconds for red "M" logo,

20 seconds for CM7 logo.

So total 45 seconds from first boot logo to lockscreen :)

I'm a bit unsure of the ADW Launcher - when opening the APP drawer the dock is still showing but when scrolling up the drawer if you accidently catch the dock icons then the dock disappears. I couldn't find out how to make it visable again other than doing a reboot - may just be me as I haven't used ADW before.

I've gone back to Launcher Pro as I prefer the way you can hide APPs in the drawer & the fact that the mail counters work although I think ADW was faster.

Overall a great ROM & I'm able get rid of 3 apps (setvsel, notification toggle widget, Motocharge) now as they are built into CM7 :)

OK I've been reading up on ADW Launcher & found that you can group apps into different categories effectively "hiding" them in the app drawer. So because of this I am now trying ADW again (was also getting some force closes on Launcher Pro after rebooting). The mail counters maybe aren't worth the extra 3mb that LP uses over ADW.

fixed sbf nordic

where can i download the fixed sbf-nordic? on the first page of the thread is a link, but if i try it,

i can only download firmware.sbf.
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
Wow. for the first time I have some battery drain, too, on RC0.

Over night it drained from 66% to 34%, unbelievable. I was on cm7-110528-0104-NIGHTLY-Jordan before, everything was fine. I didn't wipe anything, just updated, so I guess that's the reason.

Can anyone explain why?

I'll wipe everything now and install the RC0 again, maybe a later nightly, to see what happens then.
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
I am now unable to access bootmenu. At the blue light, I press (or even press down) the volume down button and it boots like normally (green light comes up immediately). Tried even volume up out of boredom - doesnt work

This is crazy. What am I supposed to do now?

Running 110601-2348 nightly
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
@ hitanshu: like Epsylon3 explained very well, you might have cache issues. Have you tried booting with power and volume down to access the standard recovery? If that works, wipe everything, flash a sbf and start from scratch again
[Defy Android Development] anxsds:
If you're happy with LP then this post is fairly useless, but the icon 'disappearance' of which you speak is the ADW 'Dockbar'. A swipe up on the launcher icons shows it and a swipe down again will hide it. You can fill it with other applications - or turn it off (as I do).

HTH

My Reboot problems are back, and now I am sure it is because of my SDCard. Sadly I had to remove it and re-insert my old 4GB Kinston microSD. Wasted money, damn it.

The bad thing is, I think this is a kernel issue, and we can't touch the kernel. Curse you Motorola!

Look at the link I posted from cm7 bugtracker-

there's a possible solution in unit.rc

I was struggling with my microsd card with data corruption issue, found this maybe the reason.

http://code.google.com/p/sim1/issues/detail?id=2

I got zero experience in linux, so I can't say for sure.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Sorry, can't seem to find the relevant bug in the tracker.

EDIT: The easiest way to cause problems, is to open Astro Filemanager and try to move the CM7 nightly zip file. One out of two times the move fails and the phone will start acting app.
[Defy Android Development] memz180:
Some people have installed cm7 onto SEA15 i tried just before and got caught in a continuous boot loop is this because i didnt use nordic or 3.4.3 uk 11 or because i missed something

I cleared everything and installed from .zip

Just kept going through boot loop

Any ideas Thanks guys
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
My phone got really hot and had high battery drain from 30mins of bluetooth audio in the car. I highly suspect it is the change to 'ondemand' governor in booty menu , instead of ' interactive'. I will give it a try and report. It may have been why I have always had issues with setvsel and this has been so stable until now.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
i'm pretty sure it has something to do with bigger block size that SDHC cards have.

maybe we need to set it somewhere manually as the system can't recognize the native block size each card has.
[Defy Android Development] raghul:
dude just restore the nordic nandroid + flash the nordic sbf and then go to CM7.... :) i did the same thing :)
[Defy Android Development] derbestimmer:
first of all thanks fot the great effort quarx & epsylon. yesterday i tried rc0. its quite stable. but one thing annoys me more than all those little bugs in all versions before:

rc0 is fast like hell, at least benchmarkwise (-> quadrant: 3140@1200mhz), but sadly the subtily felt speed is not sooo good. for example the homescreen scrolling lags slightly and the scrolling in dialer one is really laggy. i know, it isn't the overall speed of cm7, cause that is great at most times. but there still seem to be some settings which haven't been optimized. i have to say, my old and highly optimized pays 3.3 rom is a lot more slick, when it comes to scrolling and daily use.

and on the bugside, my led flash still won't work with video recording (in photo mode it works). this problem resides from beta6 to rc0 and all nightlies i tried in between. btw. i'm a very clean flasher, i allways:

-wipe dalvik cache, cache and data

-then flash

-then wipe again

-and i don't restore old apps with e.g. titanium backup, as this can lead to problems

so there shouldn't be any old stuff left.

would be very nice if you both could look into that.

THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!
[Defy Android Development] prioin:
this is simply great the latest update is performing nicely.

I was afraid as many people were having problems with this release.

But everything is running silky smooth on my defy.

anyway thanks for this masterpiece.

I had problems with the moto loop but after I re-flashed it seems working like butter ( "mahkan" in Hindi)

Someone other than me has got very low sdcard performance? I've got a 16 Gb Trascend class 6 that had very good results in Eclair and Froyo (13Mb/s write 15Mb/s read).. here I have 2Mb/s read and write: -( any trick to solve this issue?

I have the green lens and video flash worked on a nightly of June 1st 114. Now the newest nightly of today there is no video flash. The preview of video recording isn't stretched any more though.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Same card here, have nothing but problems. Had to remove it because it causes freezes and forces closes :(
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
But I can say for sure the problem is CM7 RC0, cause:

- Froyo original/modded

- Eclair original/modded

- MIUI (Gb 2.3.4 old Quarx sources)

give me 13-14Mb/s results! :mad:
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
Can you be more clear?

Where I've to go to tweak those values? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
*sigh*

I don't really know what the problem is, I only got the card a couple of days ago and now I feel I wasted good money...
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
try it in your PC-Card-Reader with its adapter, you'll see if the problem is the card itself or CM7 ROM... I never had problems with it... till today I've installed this CM7 RC0 ROM...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
In the Card Reader (actually, the card came with a USB card reader included!) there is no problem.
[Defy Android Development] dlhxr:
Have anyone tried the backup&restore function in the bootmenu from the cm7 rc0?

I remembered that it didn't work several days ago in the nightly version.

Is the problem fixed now?

Thank you!

P.S.

I want to test the googleservicelite made by myself, but I don't want to waste more time. I was flashing the new cm7 till 5 am yesterday. So, if the backup&restore works, I can save a lot of time.

After I updated my googleservicelite.zip yesterday, the cm7 went into a rebooting loop. After the cm7 bootlogo disappeared, the setupwizard came out. But a few seconds later, the cm7 bootlogo appeared again...I don't where the problem is. Could you help me?

Problem solved. I tried by myself and the backup&restore function worked.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
maybe we can see something special if we change

# create mountpoints

mkdir /mnt 0775 root system

mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system

to

# create mountpoints

mkdir /mnt 0775 root system

loglevel 8

mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system

loglevel 3

or add strace only on sdcard calls (..how..?)

similar to

service zygote /system/xbin/strace -tt -o/data/boot.strace /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --start system-server

both in init.rc
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
so...

this is the proof that the problem is one or more scripts of this ROM...
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
not necessarily - it might be a kernel problem.

but the workaround might rely in init.rc
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Actually, the probability that *it is* a kernel problem is very high. That's why I don't hold much hope it can be fixed.
[Defy Android Development] Evil Slayer:
everyone can somebody answer this question for please

i already know there's arabic support in this rom but does is support arabic right to left and the letters appear connected or not

2- same thing with 2nd init, if i install 2ni init 1.4.2 and then reboot the phone, the phone will pass the M logo?

@Quarx @Epsylon3 @ALL

Have you seen moto released 3.4.2_145 sources?...

https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/...fy_emara_mol.jorem_u3_3_4_2_145_10?_pagenum=1

doesn't boot.img included in CM7 bypasses sig check?

how crazy will that be to build a new boot.img etc' from sources?
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
RC0 is a huge improvement over beta 5.1. Thanks Quarx! It is very much appreciated. :) The biggest improvement is the GPS it seems. Where a fix used to take minutes, if it worked at all, now it seems that it always works within 10 seconds. Brilliant because it saves a lot of frustration just waiting for that dot on the map saying where you are. :P

One thing still needs improvement though and that is the camera. I have a green lens and recorded video still has a lot of dropped frames. HD recording does not work but I don't expect it to ever work with a green lens which is not a big deal to me.

Keep up the progress but I am sure you will. Cheers!!
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
At least I have seen it, the FM radio fix is taken from there ;)

I think the CM7 boot.img is a stock Moto one - with signature.

[Defy Android Development] M0ng0:
Hi,

can i use this Rom with the new sbf Froyo from official Retail Version?
[Defy Android Development] derbestimmer:
To call it laggy would be complaining on a VERY high level but compared to my old pays 3.3 (which i use right now) the rc0 seems to be a bit sluggish at times. For example when scrolling the homescreens or in dialer one. As i said, my system was absolutely clean (flashed nordic then rc0). So yes, in daily use my old rom feels a little bit faster and more responsive. Of course i know that cm7 rc0 is a lot faster overall but often it is the little things... you know? But i can wait. Quarx and epsylon are doing an awesome job! Keep it up guys!
[Defy Android Development] hitanshu:
Possibly, the reason is this:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914

and its not something even our demigod Quarx can fix.:mad:

so far CM7 UI hasn't really been laggy actually in my month long experience. Its still a shade behind the likes of say, an iPhone UI. In applications, there's no problem really.

@epsylon3

Could you please remove all the nightlies before RC0? it's a bit confusing when searching for newer nightlies:(

thanks!:)
[Defy Android Development] derbestimmer:
Has anybody noticed, that rc0 still hasn't the same max brightness as in eclair roms? I know quarx implemented this fix: echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als in some version, but my handtweaked froyo rom is still brighter at max. Try to switch through your brightnessmodes via energy controll widget. When changing from max to auto you will notice brightness increases a bit for a splitsecond just to dim down to auto mode. I think the brightnesslevel during this transition is the real maximum. Have you experienced the same?
[Defy Android Development] donb123:
This used to happen on my HTC Dream and Magic when I had too many apps installed. I know that's not terribly likely on Defy but I suppose it's possible. Try uninstalling an app or two to see if that works and then try to install new one again maybe?

[Defy Android Development] dasbin:
Yup I do think this is the main problem with the default interfaces in Android. It makes everything a touch choppy, but the possibility is there to use the GPU instead and have it be very smooth.

We can work around this by installing something like Launcher Pro as the launcher, and Opera Mobile (not Mini) as the browser. Both of these use GPU acceleration whereas the default software do not. IMHO the difference is huge and immediately noticeable.

I originally posted this in the CyanogenMod FAQ but I think this is a better location for the question. Forgive my doublepost, I couldn't find a way to delete the other post.

I figured I should finally update my defy to gingerbread, and I'm having an issue. I've followed all the steps exactly as listed on the first page of the FAQ, but after installing the cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip and rebooting, I just get a red moto logo. No led, no activity, no nothing. I can't access custom recovery, only stock recovery. Clearing cache and wiping user data doesn't resolve the issue.

I do get this message when I clear the cache before installing the cm7: "E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/command" and "E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

Do I need a partitioned SD card for gingerbread? I just have a stock-formatted SD card.

I've since read it can take "some time" the first time it boots. Is there a specific time-frame that's expected? I've left it for 30 mins one time on the red moto logo... does it take longer than that?

[Defy Android Development] ToTTenTranz:
This seems like an important question.

Kernel 2.6.32 is used in Froyo, whereas 2.6.35 is used in Gingerbread.

I'm a layman in this and I don't really know if CM7 is supposed to use the older Kernel, but I do know Gingerbread (Android Release 2.3.3) is supposed to use the newer kernel. I don't know if it brings any substantial difference in something, though.

The improved GPU drivers should bring performance enhancements to video games and 3D benchmarks, but a faster UI (hardware accelerated) should only come with Honeycomb (unless someone mods it somehow).
