Summary

Here is a summary of my observations on this ROM...

A big thanks to all of you for posting helpful messages quickly..

The good

1. Camera works now

2. Basic phone functions, web browsing, market etc. work

3. No freezes, restarts, hangups etc.

4. Alarm works, at least on short test.

5. I am now on 2.3.3 when Motorola is dragging feet on 2.2 in the first place...perhaps they are focusing on giving life to Xoom killed by ridiculous pricing. :D

The bad

1. GPS very very inaccurate. In Singapore it shows about 1km off on Maps...not tried after Nordic sbf flash

2. Cannot choose ringtone

3. Swype is still gone..

4. Cannot find tethering anymore or data manager. Both were quite useful

5. Battery life seems much lower, though it could be due to my excess browsing usage on new rom.

Overall I would keep this ROM (not sure how I can go back to official ROM which I never backed up, so I guess no choice :o )

you have to check usb debugging before install 2nd init.

i've been stucked too, bootlop, just a days ago.

dont worry, you can revive your defy again..
[Defy Android Development] gkrananth:
I have followed the same step. Enable usb debug install and after install disabled and rebooted. cant see blue led..................
[Defy Android Development] danielck78:
What base rom u using? I have a lot of freezes and hangups. Going crazy here. I am using nordic 2.2. Dont know is it bcos of the base rom.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
reboot two times..

enable usb debug, install 2nd init, reboot (this reboot to enable 2ndInit)

disable usb debugging, then reboot again.

you should see blue led when red moto logo appears.
[Defy Android Development] stewi21:
glad to hear :) i think the sbf is the full ROM, and CM7 uses it as a base to which it applies all its various changes etc. somebody correct me if im wrong
[Defy Android Development] chen2008:
The original base ROM was official Eclair that came with phone in Singapore. Then I installed Cm7-Beta3 straight, and now I flashed the Nordic 'fixed' without any further reinstallation of CM7-Beta3.
[Defy Android Development] danielck78:
Arghhh i am the only 1 that have lots of freezes and auto off??? It's killing me here. Dont want to go back to 2.2 but if it continues...i have no choice.
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
You have just flash a fixed sbf, right? The fixed sbf remove the parts of a full sbf that prevent you to downgrade to android 2.1(CG31,CG39)，CG39 contans the system files， so when you flash this special sbf， you will not change the original system files. Thus you can get into CM7 without installing it again.

For the ringtone try taking phone off silent then select tone!

I followed above its worked. Either 2nd time succeed or slightly changed the above procedure in previously failed. Any how i am now in CM7. But 2nd time i faced this pbm to stuck in moto logo dont know yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
I'm using CM7 since beta1, and now that with beta3 nearly everything is working, I used it for some days now.

Some are saying that the battery-life is much worse than it was on 2.2 - and so it was for me. I can only get about 9 hours out of it with moderate use of the phone :(

If this problem could be found and/or fixed, it would be perfect (besides the aGPS, I really need that :D )

for now, excelent work Quarkx!

See this great App called Elixir on the market. That along with it's widget addon app, you can make status bar widgets that can basically serve as shortcuts to apps, contacts, anything else that you can add on your homescreen, except widgets.

Also it has normal toggles also for wifi, gps etc, and system monitors like running apps, ram, cpu. you can add any combination of these modules onto a bar that comes in the notification drop down.

When you see the triangle and android, push volume up and volume down at the same time to get into stock recovery. Do a full wipe there. Failing that, you'll have to use RSD lite to flash a sbf and start all over.

after installing Epsylon3's Jan31st build, I just directly install this patch? Or I have to boot up with Epsylon3's Jan31st build first then go back to bootmenu to install this patch?

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I flashed it right after without rebooting.

But if you flash gapps, flash the patch last to make sure to have the proper VoiceSearch.
[Defy Android Development] actino:
OK thanks very much. I'll be doing it right now.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
No problem, you're welcome.

And it doesn't hurt (no risk) to play it safe and flash the CM7 signed kernel (since other roms you might be on -like miui- use a different kernel) from here as well.

Be patient at first boot and if afer 5 minutes you're still on boot animation, pull the battery out; put in back in and reboot.

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Sorry for the full quote but this is old enough that I think we need some context, and I finally have my 10 posts to comment on this thread!

I have also noticed that the most stable build for me so far was the 7.1-11 stable. The builds from both Epsylon and Maniac I have had exactly the below issues with Google maps. The phone will become completely unresponsive a short time after using Maps, and a restart is necessary.

So far, I have not noticed this with the builds from Quarx.

HOWEVER, I have not had any success with Firefox Beta (or stable) + any CM7 build + Defy. With Quarx's build, the phone will *restart* after just a minute or two of use.

Anyone else tried Firefox with these builds?

Wifi Connection problem appears once in a while (cannot connect unless forget all and configure again). Pretty annoying, especially when you have more than one Wifi setup, and it appears on other CM7 based ROMs too (Like Wiui).

I think some people have reported this bug. It may be due to CM7 fails to remember authentication information properly. On CM9 there is no such problem. Can't nobody get this fixed?:confused:

No need to wipe data - I haven't wiped data since RC1.5 I believe. I always do wipe dalvik and cache though.

Theoritically yes; under /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

Line 175: HT_Enable=1 #0=diable 802.11n support / 1=Enable

But just from memory, I believe that Epsylon3 had a crack at this before but mentioned that we're kind of kernel limited on this. [but again I might be wrong and I wouldn't want to mis-quote him...]

But you're lucky to be able to worry about this :D. Here my IAP gives me about 1.8Mbps -down max over wi-fi and during peak hours, I sometimes can only get ~400k :mad:

Edit: as we can see from the code, the 802.11n is not "diabled" by default :D devilish stuff!!

did that update and only cache and dalvik. bootloop at spinning logo :-(

wiped everything, installed again, wiped, works.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
I guess I still wasn't clear enough ;)

It's expected that caller ID still works. The interesting thing is what toasts are displayed.

Let my try a better scenario description. Say phone 'A' is your phone (the Defy), 'B' is the caller and 'C' and 'D' are some other phones.

Scenario 1 (incoming forwarded call):

B calls C, which is configured to forward the call to A

What currently happens on A: A toast 'Incoming Call is Forwarded' is displayed and a dialog 'Call Unanswered and Forwarded' is displayed after the call

What should happen on A: A toast 'Forwarded Incoming Call' should be displayed

Scenario 2 (incoming call is forwarded):

A is currently calling to C, B is trying to call A and the call is forwarded to D

What currently happens on A: ???

What should happen on A: See 'What currently happens on A' in scenario 1 ;)

I likely can fix this up (at least if it's happening not only on my operator), but I need feedback on what happens for you in those two scenarios. Thanks :)
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
a little bit offtopic:D but dince you're taking a look into calls/redirects and all can you PLEASE see if you can find a solution for call waiting issue. e.g.:

A is calling B, but B is already in a call (with call waiting active).

A sould get a notification that say "Your call is waiting" or something similar.

This is very usefull to see if the other side didn't see your call or couldn't answer because is involved in other call.

This was available on almost all feature (non-smart) phones.

Please maniac103, can you take a look at this?

Yo!

About two months ago, I had problems with the CM7 default Sound Recorder; most of the time, it would just freeze up and throw me a message in the lines of -or similar to~: "VoiceRecorder cannot access sdcard".

So I found an alternative on the Market (WAVE Recorder ;pretty decent one;)).

I then just went ahead and deleted that apk from each of the nightly zips before new installations.

[So I'm just admitting here that I did not check if the SoundRecorder is still causing me problems or not on recent nightly builds...but I did try many different things to try to fix it at the time without any luck]

But thanks to royale1223 for his thread on MIU slowly opening it's source code, there's an other interesting alternative to the cm7 Sound recorder given by m11kaa here: MUI SoundRecorder [Thanks to you also;)].

And while I'm at it, thanks to syllogyking, here's another alternative or additionial (for cool mixes of two audio tracks straight from your Defy main screen :p [nothing new I know] - see 2nd pic: top CM7 : bottom MIU) Music player from MIU as well.:) It has more options on things like: lyrics and album art downloads...

Both tested to work fine on Quarx Feb 3rd nightly.

Enjoy and go thank those guys too!

Battery problems

Hi guys,

First of all I would like to thank AL on really good instructions he gave me how to install CM7.2 on my phone.

Thnx dude.

Next, AL I think there is a glitch with your transparency bar patch every time I scroll screens ( it's like that top status bar is slower in changing wallpaper than other parts of the screen).

But it's really not big deal :D

But what is a big deal is a battery consumption during night time, and battery drops (54%--->49% and 26%--->19%).

I have a thread about my battery life on other ROM (2.3.6_4.5.2-109 DHT25_themed MultiLanguage). Here is the LINK

And I discussed same battery drops and problems in CM7.2 ROM here: LINK

As you can see, I have battery drops/high nightly drains, no matter what ROM Im on.

So is there any solution for this? Can you help me?

Is it maybe something with 2ndInit 2.0?

(I know one solution ---> to sell my phone and buy new Defy :D )
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Try doing what dude suggest from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10.

You're welcome.

For the wallpaper scrolling "glitch" it is because you did not uncheck "Wallpaper Hack" in Settings-ADWLauncher-System Preferences. So no glitch ;)

Battery drop same here (56-49%) and same for many others I believe and it is not rom related. Same as you; first time ok after that calibration method but problem comes back so just have to live w it. Buy or try another battery maybe?

Do not flash directly to nightlies, because it doesn't have kernel inside it.
