Sorry, I'm a little confused. Does this mean I have to tweak the lib files to include the 848x480 setting? If need to tweak lib file...I've never done this before and will give it a whirl after doing some research...but if someone could upload a zip file for the fix that would be huge for a noob like me!

I usually tend to avoid adding files to nightly zips before installation; I delete some or replace others which have to same file name but for extra addition, I much prefer to do it separately with a patch.zip. [I had bad experience doing so with the SystemUI.apk or Gapps files for ex]

Also, you did the same mistake as me: you forgot to mention anything about the required library on both ways (zip mod or adb push)... :p

I'm fully aware that this was likely just photoshoping work. Since you full-quoted me so well; I'm sure that you've read and noticed my underlined "rumoured" and my last sentence: "...especially if they'd come any close to those screenshots..". But thanks anyway, it doesn't hurt to make things clear for everyone.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yup... Same here with regard to audio. Btw Firefox itself is quite a buggy app, so is the stock gallery application. So those two may not be the rom's fault exactly.

RE. video cam freezes

Today I've tried recording a video (I'm running Ep3's March 4th) and on my first attempt, the picture froze 2 times within 15-20 sec of recording which got me a little :mad:. So that got me digging a little and trying to see what changed in this regards (camera apk, libs, profile.xml and what not) over the last couple months.

I've experimented with a few things and I found that the old trick of just replacing the Camera.apk with the one from November 10th nightly seems to help things. Well..., I won't guarranty that it fixes everything at this point, since that will take a few days of additional testing... But I did record a good dozen of short clips and did not experience any lag or frame freeze...

So twa_priv, sigray or whoever also experienced that issue lately, please have a try and report back accordingly...

I'm including the file in a zip -not a flashable one; so do the file replacement with one of the method as discussed above for the DroidSSHd.apk, reboot and shoot!
[Defy Android Development] wizwin:
Well, I did not face any issues with DroidSSHd.apk and it was a quick workaround. Maybe SystemUI.apk and Gapps are more tightly integrated to Android.

I did not forget that. I was able to use DroidSSHd without that library as well and I assumed it may already be present in the system. But now I went back and checked the phone/read the post again and found it was needed for doing 'chmod' stuff. So I have updated the post.

Thank you for pointing out these details.

[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
There are a lot of threads regarding this, but in general you need to figure out which app(s) have wake lock.

Another thing that will help is switching to the smartass governor. I am not sure what the consensus here is, but I have been using it for months, and three phone should definitely enter deep sleep when off.

[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Use BetterBatteryStats to determine what is causing the wakelock:

In my own case, a problem with the wifi was keeping my phone awake even though the wifi was set to turn off when the screen turns off. (BetterBatteryStats showed a kernel wakelock called "wifi_wake".) Simply installing an app called "Wifi Timeout" (free on Market) solved the problem for me.

new maniac103 build is up: https://github.com/maniac103/android_device_motorola_jordan/downloads

I have a question regarding basebands and sbfs....

The default SBF for South Africa is SEA-18 (3.4.3-361). If I flash this SBF and then flash a non-kernel CM7, will the default baseband remain unchanged?

Unfortunately Baseband Switcher does not have SEA18 and it seems like development for BBS has stagnated, so I'm not holding my breath for a new release.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as my connectivity issues are driving me crazy :eek:

You mean you're using the MIUI camera apk on CM7? If so could you post a link to the apk?

BTW, I'm currently on quarx's latest Defy+ build and don't experience any freezes after changing the media_profiles.xml to the bit rate maniac + epsilon are using.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
No, i mean the miui camera with miui rom. ;)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Dang! I was just getting ready to prep the nightly for installation...

I haven't tried it recently [I mean in order to verify if it also gives frame freezes with video recording on cm7] but I do know that the attached Miui camera works decently on CM7.

Only downside [and the reason why I don't make it my default Camera] is that it has no widescreen video recording only 4:3 (but takes wide pics though).

As far as I remember, this is an app that I got from a ZTE Blade rom for my gf's phone - sorry, I did not keep a link for the source but I could find it if needed...

I've also experimented and played around with that Media_profile.xml file but without getting much improvement on normal Defy nightly builds ...since the trick with the Nov10th Camera.apk really did help (on Epsylon3's March 4th), but did not completely resolve the problem.

So by Quarx latest Defy+ nightly you mean: cm7-02232012-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip ?

Is there a boot.img included now in his builds? [..I saw a few commits about kernels lately...]

And is the volume key beeps muting included now?

Downloading that one anyway, but thanks for confirming and telling us if you do eventually get any freezes with that setup and/or with the miui cam if you try it out.

Thx.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I mean this nightly: http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/cm72-20120308-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip. And no, the kernel is not included - I'm using the 4.5.2-109-DHT-22 kernel since this one seems to have the best battery life (at least for me).
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
I think I've solved the connectivity issue...

I replaced the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default folder from the stock froyo SEA18 with the one in the CM7 zip and flashed it, so far so good. This should work for all those who's country is not supported by the Baseband Switcher, as long as you have access to the stock froyo for your country.

Well, it seems that your (twa_priv) changes to the media_profiles.xml might work on the normal defy nightly as well.. (pic attached compares it to Epsylon3's March 4th file).

My first tests worked fine so I'll postpone the defy+ nightly installation and test all this a bit more extensively tomorrow..

Very nice it this keeps working; finger crossed and thanks again.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I've experienced (and have previously reported) the same on Maniac's Feb 27th (reboot did not fix that) and I had to revert the Maniac's Feb 20th to solve it.

Then this was fine also on Epsylon3's March 4th... So one more reason for me to stick with that build a little longer.

Thanks for that mate - I really appreciate.

Btw, with the Miui camera that I've attached a couple pages ago, I've noticed that the camera auto-focus is working very well; just moving the camera a little triggers a re-focus; something that I've never really noticed on cm7...

Something I also very like from it and would like to see in cm7 is some sort of guiding line on the screen to help shooting straight and avoid getting tilt pictures.. But that is just wishful thinking and no big deal really..

Thanks again.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Here's one thing I noticed this morning...

I still have to confirm this, but I suspect that if you unplug your phone from the computer while still in sdcard acess mode, there might be a wakelock persisting somehow and you'll drain your battery a little faster.

I say this because I usually (almost religiously:p) check how the battery did overnight (in airplane mode) every morning. And today, I saw that my battery dropped by 1% almost every 40 minutes (1st pic). During a normal night, that would be every 3 hours or so.. (see 2nd pic).

So I plugged my phone back in and sure enough it automatically went to sdcard access; thus confirming that I did unplug it like so.

Again, this is just a guess and would have to repeat this in order to confirm this. But if it turns out to be accurate, my old request for an extra/different notification icon for sdcard access mode would take all its sense here...

One last note: Epsylon3's builds always give me the best numbers in this matter. Maniac's and Quarx's builds consistantly give me less; around 2h40 to 2h50 per %. [that is based on a couple months of observations on this]. So 10-15 minutes over 3 hours is not much you might say, but it is still a 6-8% battery saving (while in airplane mode/no data) and every bit of juice saved is a good thing...

[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
CyanogenMod is more CyanogenDefy repo, which is our common tree...

We are in free style in our repos to make tests (or our nightlies), then we merge this in CyanogenDefy, and then on CyanogenMod after review :p ... sometimes its CyanogenMod before CyanogenDefy... but the repos are still there

There is something wrong in the focus... but i think now it is specific to CM camera app... because Barcode scanner works...

edit: hmm in fact maybe not.... i need to do more checks... will try cm version :p
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
The same is true on the Bravo as well. They even seem to run smoother than the ones Quarx makes for us, considering Epsylon's aren't even made for the Bravo.

I figure that's going to change once he gets his Bravo and we have a proper place to post bugs and fixes with an active and damn good developer, instead of scouring the Defy forums and hoping Defy fixes work. (Usually do except camera)

Btw, the Bravo is essentially a Defy-(minus)....has a worse (3mp) camera, no search button, clocked at 800mhz stock, but almost identical in every other way.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if its worth switching to the 14th March one? Cause I'm getting back to CM9 as soon as the nightlies start rolling again :D

Excuse for asking, but that means that for now on, default is no blink and Notification light -> [x] <- that checked means blinking ? :confused:

Oh, and btw, with these new settings, so far so good, with videocam and no freeze.

As for the auto-focus; i don't know as I'm not sure what Epsylon meant by that; but I've never seen a constant re-focus going while pointing the camera in another direction for example (except with Miui Camera.apk) But focus works fine for me when I press the take picture button for all settings: auto, touch-to-focus, macro... even with long-focus enabled.

So for me on Epsylon3's March 4th with that media_profile.xml things seems as good as they've ever been. Although, one can never be 100% sure about videocam freezes before weeks of usage...
