usb is fixed in next nightly, thanks maniac =)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Official Cyanogen coming soon ^^
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
awesome news!!!!

Great job!!!!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I'm skeptic as usual. I just hope nothing will change in the development process.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
I'm curious: what means that for us (Defy Users that love XDA boys work)?

What can be changed in the development process.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
In fact, we almost already use this method (Quarx, Maniac and me) with the CyanogenDefy repo which is our "solid base". We use personal forks to work and make tests/fixes.

If we get in official CM, our device can also receive some fixes directly by others... Like DroidX (shadow) and D2 teams. These devices are very similar.

Cyanogen review system (CM-Gerrit) has already merged some of our fixes (Torch, Camera, Usb mode selection menu etc)

Congrats!!

Quick question for you Ep3 since you're the recovery master...

I want to backup my current RC1 build before trying out the latest nightly for Quarx code cleanup and I'd like to know what the best way to do it to avoid mistakes.

Should I use the latest recovery or the stable recovery to do the backup?

As I understand, if I use the latest one, I might not be able to restore it directly from SndInit 1.4.2 after a nordic sbf flash --> I would have to go: flash sbf, install Sndinit, install RC1, then restore my backup.

But is there a way to go straight from flash nordic (and 2ndInit) to restore backup -i.e.: without installing RC1 1st?

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] feh_pexto:
I'm having an issue since rc1

On market I can't find somethings like whatsapp

(and yes, I put the latest gapps)

Did you guys notice something like this?

what gapps version you use?

Thank you in advance

18 hours doesn't mean much...how have you used the phone during that time?

I think that with intense use, I could go through the battery in under 10 hours no matter if I'm on Froyo or CM7. One phone call alone could take 10% battery if I talk for a while...

I installed RC1v2 just a couple hours after it came out and just now, I've put my phone on charge: and that was 1 day and 17 hours (with 16% left and estimate at 6-10 hours left) and I test-drove RC1v2 under a fairly decent usage. Screen has been ON for well over 6 hours; only a couple calls, but decent gaming time, tried the GPS 2-3 times, browsing, a lot of xda forum browsing, radio streaming and video playback...
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
No, it's my wife's phone and I have been told Hands Off!! I will wait till the dust has settled and maybe the official CM7 comes out then have another go. She is back to 2.2 with MotoBlur and the only thing she has commented on is that the notification bar is not black anymore and the battery doesn't show percentage. Oh, and she misses the CM7 boot animation. I am keeping an eye on Ebay in the hope soemone sells a cheap second hand Defy that I can use as a guinea pig cos there is only so long I will be able to resist before I grab her phone and flash the ^%$#@ out of it

You sure did mate. In fact it was your post that made me pick up the phone to Motorola support.

The problem is that my phone came from Hong Kong via Ebay. They could tell by the serial number that it wasn't an Aussie phone, I would have had to send it back to HK for support.

Yip Epsylon I am sure you are right, but as you say time is money and in my case it was more a case of Happy Wife - Happy Life. I also don't think I have the skills or knowledge to have done much more. Looking back at what happened the first sign of trouble was in the recovery menu of RC1. It looked quite different to RC0 - were there big changes in the Recovery/Bootmenu between RC0 and RC1? I got errors when I tried to go into Stable or New Recovery saying the directory wasn't there. I suspect one of two things - either my download was corrupt or I pulled my battery out too soon while the update was still going. I think one of these two things caused corruption in the the Bootloader side of things and that it was a software fault not a hardware fault.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I believe that I use gapps-gb-20110503 version but I think that it doesn't really matter because [correct me if I'm wrong], the market silently update itself once you use it.

As per you not finding a specific apk ---> go back to FAQ a look under "use Market Enabler" and choose an american service provider.
[Defy Android Development] lionel126:
oh my! wifi doesnt work ,searching out nothing.

rc1v2

baseband ver:EPU93_U_00.59.01
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Yes, the new one is still compatible... changes are not related, only new features and fixes...

[YOUTUBE]4TtSLxK5sk4[/YOUTUBE]
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Which base sbf are you using? And also do you use gprs much? Mine's always on..
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Glad to be of some help to a fellow flash mate.. Lol.. :)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
So, where is your phone ? sorry confused...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I'm now using the 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC from the OP because I had major issues going from RC0 to RC1v1; similar to what Bumble had (although not as bad) when I tried to to go back to the Chinese JDGC_U6_1.11.0 that I've always been using before RC0 [without any problems I might add]. I had back screen after incomplete reboot at the end of sbf flashing with no access to bootloader or recovery...only flashing nordic on the black screen got me up again...

Since I saw no real difference between using the Chinese sbf and the nordic one, I now stick to nordic no matter what: getting black screens after flashing - no thank you!!! And as a word of advice: people should try avoid flashing a different base sbf; try CM7 on your original Froyo or with nordic and then don't go back or use a newer on - if possible that is...

I'm still not quite completely clear on what is best to use between 'last stable recovery' and newest recovery for backups/restore, but I've always used the last stable one so far...

OK time to report to Quarx and the last nightly...

Cheers!

Edit: no, I've tried the GPS only 2-3 times (15-20 minutes) to check for the fix speeds with and without the asian gps.config file.

The file seems to improve the fix speed and the reported accuracy significantly (down from 200-300m to 4.5-9m and very quick) BUT on a map, I was still out by 100m...but need more testing as it was a quick test and a very cloudy day and from inside the house by a window.... increase fix speed might also be just cause there were some stored last locations now recorded...

So again, need more testing on that.
[Defy Android Development] feh_pexto:
Thank you for you help man! but I'm using the gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip (latest), tried to change the provider... no results (it changed but still no whatsapp) :/

can please someone help me?
[Defy Android Development] ATXiceman512:
Is there a RC1 version and a RCv1 version, if so could some1 breifly discribe the changes between them or provide a link. Thank you
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
The stable was added for a simple reason : Nightly are auto merged with cyanogen, and our Recovery doesnt works exactly in the same way...

On Cyanogen devices with unlocked bootloader, its a separate kernel (like our motorola recovery) and /system partition is not mounted/used... on recovery launch.

Because of these differences, some new changes can break the recovery... Its why i ve added a stable recovery which is a tested and known as "working" recovery (prebuilt from previous version).

Ive maybe updated too fast this stable recovery... in fact only 2 or 3 times since implementation in bootmenu... but for a good reason... Cyanogen Merge will use his "original" version of recovery to build defy...

And first, only the stable recovery will be working correctly... its why i updated it to the RC1 one (4.0.0.6-defy) yesterday.

Note : there is no v4.0.0.6 officially... for the moment... and i dont know which version number koush will use next... its very hard to communicate with him... even when it is him who send me messages....
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
how can I persuade my dad to put cm7 on his defy? I have it on mine and its awesome, he's on official us 2.2
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
verified: I'm on the May 3rd one like mentioned.

I've also checked the Market for that apk and I saw it [Whatspp Messenger or something...] without having to use market enabler. I'm in China, and if there is someone that should have problem seing apps it's me... So I really don't know what's wrong with your Market. Try going back in custom recovery and wipe cache maybe.
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
The phone is my wife's. It is back in her bag after being repaired. She doesn't want me to flash roms etc. onto it anymore after what happened but I have other ideas.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Rofl.. :P
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Ok.. I was on 2013 nightly so long.. Got 18 hours on my stock battery and 25 hours from my galileo battery.. Combination of gprs and wifi, both are always on along with auto sync, auto brightness, umm.. Few Calls, quite a few msgs, xda and facebook.. Sounds about the right kinda battery backup for this right? Or should it be higher?

Now I'm gonna try it out on RC1v2.. :)
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Also, where's this new boot image everyone's talking about? Mine's still the same old cyanogen one.. :-/
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Well, seemingly there's more to that damn ADB icon than my fix. It doesn't always work yet; will look into it.

The internal ringtones now being populated correctly is the more important fix IMO ;)
[Defy Android Development] syl0n:
Congrats Quarkx. Just saw DEFY is being merged into official CyanogenMod http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#patch,sidebyside,5921,7,products/cyanogen_jordan.mk
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
Did moto service centre people charged u for telling the truth? :P
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Yeah, he mentioned it in his post.. Cost him 152 USD.. :-/ Though cheaper than buying a whole new phone.. :) And best part is, i think he retains his warranty over this incident.. So.. Its a win win.. :)
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
oh..$152 is too much..sad we couldnt help him much here..we tried..good to know that warranty is still there:)

[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Without red lens it too difficult...
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
So far I have owned 4 Android phones and have messed with them all. Rooting, modifying etc. Do you know what all the forums have in common? People complaining of battery life.

People comparing different roms and complaining about higher drain... I don't think this even exists. In all my roms on all devices I have never gotten more than 24 hours life out of it. I think some people use certain roms and get some sort of placebo effect because they want to believe that a froyo rom is better.

I guess I'm trying to say i don't believe there is a battery drain issue that needs fixing as far as I am concerned.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
I'm not saying there is a battery drain issue.. I'm just hoping it could be made better.. That's all.. I'm just sharing what i've experienced.. No pressure on the devs at all.. They're doing an amazing job of this.. And i'm thankful For that.. No complaints.. If i have any bugs i report them.. Nothing more.. And i'm just trying to find out how to extend my battery life.. Not blaming the ROM at all.. No offense to anyone.. :) Cheers!
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
The reason I update my DEFY to CM7 was the battery.

Now, with all the CPU settings (governor and vsel) it defenitely last longer.

I use the phone to talk - I talk like 60-90 minutes a day - and the battery last longer.

The real question is can I use 200@18/500@30 and 800@45 setting?

Seems that in Settings CyanogenMod/Performance/CPU settings min CPU settings keeps going back to 300MHz. When pulling the menu down I see the choise of 200 among others but, when againg to CPU settings current shown is 300, can you tell me why?
[Defy Android Development] Dark_Plasma:
You hit that right on... There have been some issues in a few nightlies with battery drain. All in all i think it has to do with the set up. Like how many apps keep pinging for up dates. If you have four apps like lets say Facebook, Twitter, A third party email app, and say a news or weather app all pinging for updates that will drain your battery Faster than you think. Or dirty little apps that just wont die when android tries to kill them. I enjoy good battery life with moderate use usually 16 to twenty hours. and i have a lot of apps i just make sure they are not battery killers. I dont use task managers either. Just my two cents
[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
yes, your right, but if your phone is on battery for 6 hours and the only thing you did is looking on xda for 5 mins but your screen shows 29% on first place on battery usage tab, than there is probably a little problem that should be looked at.

Never say there is no problem only because you don't experience it.

greetings
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Latest nightly fixed the non-visible system ringtones among other things. At the first boot DSP Manager force closed suddenly, but on the second boot it seems fine. Didn't have time to do extensive tests, a man gotta work too!
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Edit: forget it; I don't even want to enter into this discussion; everything has been said just above...
[Defy Android Development] KambiuM:
i have to mention that auto brightness problem still persists eith RC1v2.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I defined my own levels through the CyanogenMod settings long time ago, it's the best solution IMHO.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
For no particular reason, the image of a guy with a brand new liquid cooled i7 processor trying to underclock it in order to save power comes to my mind....

Your real question isn't one all all. Why did you buy a smart phone in the 1st place then? If you want a dumb phone, i heard that Nokia makes some good ones :D
[Defy Android Development] Evil Slayer:
ok...i will try

and what about the video recording thing...is it choppy when recording in vga using a red lens as well?

thank you so much for helping btw....really appreciate your work :)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
buy another battery... you can find some for 5-10$ ;)

its our force against the iphone :)
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
was just this boot logo (replace the red or gray M) in nightly yesterday
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:
Why don't keep this great logo? Or had I misunderstood you?
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
They're trying hard at playing in the Defy's field...

Gorilla glass

Scratch/dust/water/shock resistant...

a new rookie from Tag Heuer; but at around 6k US$ price'Tag', our cheap CM7 Defy would trace smoke circles around it.

Still, I wouldn't mind having CM7 ported on it as a second phone one day...

[but the 256Mo internal memory is a turn down :rolleyes:]

Link is in French but English clip on there...

Edit:

And oh!, forgot to mention: rated for 16 days in standby but ONLY 6.5 hours in 3G.

So how's our phone display again?
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Dude, yes I should have 800 MHz or more when phone is iddle very smart, indeed.

Can not really understand your pointing and even comparing DEFY to nokia.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
i'm trying to find a solution to this problem, but so far without success...
[Defy Android Development] adkit:
rc1v2 battery uasge is too "crazy" in the display

i already use the battery calibration.

i hope that all can understand wt i say.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Did I talk about having 800MHz at iddle anywhere?

Let me say it in more simple terms: asking about underclocking Vsel1 frequency to 200MHz is not a valid question.

Sometimes, the phone is already borderline when woke up by a phone call from standby at 300MHz; so going at 200MHz is non-sense.

Clear now, dude?
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
& @Ep3

had a problem yesterday connecting to an EAP network (WPA-EAP).. it wouldn't connect until i deleted the network and re-entered credentials.

yet, i did cheat after the switch from old to new wifi drivers:

i deleted old .conf file, let the wifi driver create a new one, then copied all the old data to the new file. (without first few lines of course)

can't be sure if that caused the problem as i think old vs. new credentials part are same. right?

hi dears....i do not know the lastet version of cyanojen mode 7 !

can any body help me and send the lastet download link of cyanojen mode 7 ?

[Defy Android Development] naenee:
1. Go to the first page of this thread.

2. Scroll down to the bottom.

3. Click the 'Download RC1 v2' link.

If you want the latest nightly:

3. Click on the 'Nightly Builds' link.

4. Scroll down to the latest cm7-[DATE]-[BUILD]-Nightly.zip and click it.

Good luck ;)
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
What I noticed so far is that under certain circumstances the wpa_supplicant.conf file loses the password line for EAP networks, which causes the symptoms you're describing.

I didn't have a chance to dig into this so far, but it must be a bug in CM or AOSP, it's not Defy specific.
[Defy Android Development] mehran.xda:
tnQ so much...

what is the diffrence of "'Download RC1 v2'" & "Nightly Builds'"???

which of those r better ??

which of those do u perefer??

thx
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
If you've never used CM7 before on your Defy, I suggest you to start with the RC1 on the first page of the thread.

Nightly builds are newer versions and attempts from the devs at fixing bugs or even at introducing new features sometimes. But it doesn't mean that RC1 won't be perfect for you.

Before you start though, have a good read of the FAQs link found on the 1st page also or directly here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

It's an excellent guide made by antony.ps; you can also thank him for that...
[Defy Android Development] mehran.xda:
thk u so muchhhh

it is not the first time ! i used this rom before ! and i chandeg it !

i choose "Nightly Builds" ! and i open that !

thanq !
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Eh? Ok.. Not the boot animation then..? Thought you guys were talking about that.. And I saw something about a bunny as the icon, can I have that? :P It'll be good for a few laughs.. :) And technically I can put anything as an image right? What are the dimensions and where do I put it? : P

Thanks Epsylon.. :)

Edit: Oh wait.. saw it now.. This is the bunny icon you were talking about.. :P
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Because, mate?
[Defy Android Development] cloogshizer:
Please, I know it is uncool to use old-school tech like "search engines" and stuff before asking a question here, but please: At least put some effort in it to find answers to your problems before asking questions again and again.

This could even lead to some learning! Because if I tell you that md5s are unicorn farts proving the integrity of rainbow cascades, do you believe that I'm right?

But to answer your question: An MD5 is a checksum that you can use to check a file's integrity, i.e. whether the file (the nightly file) you downloaded was downloaded correctly and is identical to the file you wanted. For more info: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=md5.

Sorry for the rant.
[Defy Android Development] Evil Slayer:
ok...then i'll stay on rc0 for now :)

and one last thing quarx...i once posted here something related to camera with flash in this rom...read it here:

can do this in the next release?or its not possible??

appreciate your work guys on this amazing rom :)
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
quarx, maniac, or ep3..

just a suggestion.. maybe the stupid one.

these are a recording dimension option on defy cm7 rom:

VGA recording, 640x480

Full Screen recording, 854x480

HD720p recording, 1280×720 [not yet, and the hard one]

could we get middle-res of widescreen recording like 640x360? (on youtube it called 360p res).

it is smaller, and lightweight than vga recording.

but it's widescreen (many people love widescreen right? :D)

maybe choppines will reduce on that smaller resolution.

and by the way 360p (640x360) is not that small :D

this is actual 100% (no zooming) of 360p res if you see on your computer
[Defy Android Development] Terranalon:
I have a problem.. I had 2nd init installed on my device, but when I went to the application it still told me to install, so I installed the 0.6.1 version if I remember right (it also says stable for CM roms), I waited for it to install, and after it finished, I powered off the device. Now I tried to turn it on, and when it gets to the blue led, where I'm supposed to press volume down to get to recovery, it just gets automatically to recovery without me touching anything... does anyone know what the problem is?
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
i'll check it out and post logcat next week..

as defy is getting official we all can contribute much more then before :D
[Defy Android Development] Terranalon:
Since no one answered me, I tried to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, then I restored the backup I did before I updated to RC1, rebooted, and now it keeps doing bootloop.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
I wasn't aware of the sensitivity of the subject. ;) Plus I already expressed my sincere thanks for their work. Anyhow, what I meant was that because I don't know what v2 adds to v1 and because v1 is working just fine I don't 'risk' the upgrade to v2. 'Clever' means nothing else than 'would have been better if'. No judgment from my side here. Other than that all the work is more than appreciated.
