[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Yea, indeed. There are so many extra function in CM7 that I don't use it. I hope that the experimental phase will be transferred to ICS project. XDA's CM7 need to be finished by removing as many bugs as it's possible.

I refer especially at:

1. music doesn't stop while having a call in silent and vibrate mode

2. can't change the volume of FM Radio when the screen is locked

3. buggy red FM Radio

4. CamCorder recording bug that affect Camera access (FC)

5. old bug, wi-fi related with screen on: Phone freezes when turning on screen with WiFi.

I've observed that the Headset button: long press button doesn't work if screen is off is solved with the last nightly (28), or at least for me. :)
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
That's exactly what I mean.

Devs please do this, stop the experimental developement(adding new features and merging CM <which could break something>) fix the glitches, release a stable vers and then move to ICS:)

This sound like an order:-s, it nothing like that...i'm just saying that this may be a way:)
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
6. Screen locks after hang up the conversation if the talk was longer than time for screen off.

It should go back to call log according to:

Settings > Call settings > Always back to call log - checked.

@LeopardSurd or anyone

Please write your opinion if it is worth to install 28 nightly?
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
I just installed it. I'll report later.
[Defy Android Development] rncwnd:
7. Battery lifetime

8. Battery lifetime

9. Battery lifetime

BTW: I never had 5. Maybe it has something to do with your launcher / phone app? I use LauncherPro+. 6 doesn't annoy be, because usually I don't use the phone right after a phone call.

Maybe the devs should start a vote for the most annoying bugs the users want to have fixed? I'd rather like to see a very stable CM7 than another 5 months with a pre-beta CM9. Just my 2 cents.
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
There is a newer nightly than the 28..
[Defy Android Development] Cocolopes:
I never had the bugs you are talking about...and my battery life time its prety good...Im on 111121 and for now its awesome...

I try ICS and blow my mind...its beautifull...

under water
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Battery is great.

It just depends what you are doing with the phone.

Believe me I use DEFY "just" for calling (1,5 - 2 hours) - it last a day. It was not possible with stock rom - last just few hours.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

You mean ICS?

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

21 was taken off because there was a problem with making calls.

You are sure you are on 21 nightly?
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
I mean CM7. Its not an ICS topic.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Because you didn't tested it enought. I am not the only one that experiencing all those bugs.

Buggy FM Radio is random but I can tell you that you cannot change FM Radio volume if screen is off.

In Froyo you can do that without problems

.

Also let your FM Radio run for a while (let say 15 min) with screen off and while it run (with screen of) pull out your headset. Than, open your phone and see if the Radio is closed (as it should, automatically) or if it can reload your stations if you plug in your headset again. Most of times the FM Radio stuks in the notification bar or cannot load FM modules.

And the camera recording bug...why don't you give a try:

record something and during that process press home buton

. After that try to open again the camera and tell me if it works, if it reacts. I tell you: it doesn't. And the video file will be corrupted. In Froyo, pressing home button stop the recording, the camera will have no FC and the video file will be ok.

With that laggy CM7 bug related to WiFI: let your WiFi on (don't disable it manually 3-4 days on the same nightly without any restart) and put Wi-Fi sleep policy to „When screen is off”. I guarantee you that after 2-3 days in this situation (when WiFi comes back when you open your phone), CM7 will be like a snail: even the screen off animation will be affected (very slow). You'll need a restart. Is not related with Launcher or any thing else. Also you can test it if install Green Power or Juice Defender an let them to open WiFi when screen is on. After a while (1-3 days an the same build without restart) the phone will hang.

In terms of Battery Life: CM7 is similar with Froyo stock (same utilization condition).
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
with the latest nightlys it stops. Noticed today. But it doesn't continue after the call. And I would like the notification volume the sane as media if headset is attached. I think there was a commit for that last one.

With the wifi on, a never had an issue. This with wifi sleep never.

edit:

there is an option to make notification and ringer volume the same as media volume with headset. It was enabled but I think it doesn't work. Gonna try it a couple of times.
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Could you be so kind and write where is it, etc.?
[Defy Android Development] mueslee:
i just tested this. there is no bug on my defy.

the recording stopped after pressing the home button and i could open the cerma without any problems. the file also wasn't corrupted.

I tested this 4-5 times in a row and after a reboot.

I'm on the 71-111111.2124 Nightly
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Great, maybe they should take a look at the code to see why that nightly is ok.
[Defy Android Development] kabaldan:
That bug has been fixed for some time already, but it has not been merged to upstream yet, still waiting for approval.

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Disclaimer:

The next lines are by no means meant offensive or as a personal attack. It's just my personal opinion that I feel needs to be expressed.

I think you should get your expectations correct (refering to '

need

to be finished'). Unlike e.g. Motorola, we don't

need

to deliver a completely finished, totally bug-free 'product'. Unlike e.g. Motorola people, we aren't paid to work on this stuff, we are volunteers working on this stuff for fun in our free times. That includes the fact that we are free to choose what we want to work on, including working on e.g. ICS (if we, or in this particular case, Epsylon3) are interested in that or not working on anything at all for some time and devoting time to the new-born son instead (in this particular case, me at the moment).

You also need to understand that some things are incredibly hard to fix (due to the complexity of the code) or near to impossible to fix (because we're dealing with binary blobs).

Edit: I guess it boils down to one thing: Writing bug reports is nice and welcomed, but they shouldn't be understood as tasks, but as information to us (the developers).

Talking about your particular examples:

Is this happening with headset only? The report is lacking details.

This is the 'dealing with binaries' case. If you feel like spending countless hours hacking smali disassembly code, go for it. If you feel like spending weeks writing a replacement: Even better.

This is fixed in our nightlies since some time. I invested a number of hours debugging this in the complex video recording code, BTW, without even having personal interest in the video recording feature.

Never encountered that issue so far, how am I supposed to debug this now?

I think that's behaving as desired from the code. When you unlock the screen, you should see the call log.

Sorry, but without giving any particular battery drain scenario, ruling out e.g. apps or 3G usage etc., it's a waste of time to even

talk

about this. I personally got 2.5 to 3 days of battery lifetime from the stock ROM, and I get the same from CM7.

This 'CM7 drains my battery' story really is getting old, especially without any data backing it.

We don't need a vote, we need people helping with the code, devoting time and fixing bugs. See first paragraph ;)
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
http://www.defy-cm.net/jordan-cm7.2-nightly/ this comes from the first page - none of other nightlies.

This is so confusing...

And - thank you!

Any comments to 01.12 nightly?
[Defy Android Development] ndanl:
And I think/hope that cm7 will be history soon, the devs should focus on ICS ...
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Congratulations papa! Now you'll get less sleep for a different reason :)
[Defy Android Development] trevor68:
Sure, not much reason to continue here, the last nightly works fine, and I too get 2.5-3 days battery life.

Roll on ICS. :D

Oh, and for anyone having "issues" with this free mod, roll your phone back to stock, and enjoy.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
So do u guys think I should finally install CM7 on my Defy RedLense?

If it is a finall project could we get one finall release plz?

I hesitated of installing CM7 because everyday were some changes and I just needed one stable phone to use. So I'm gonna consider trying it now.

Tnx all devs for making it possible.
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
I have only one problem with CM7 : the boot stuck. It means your rom is almost flawless for me because this bug far from a real problem.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
CM7 is rock stable for months. I simply don't get you people. Why the heck wait for months while you can spend few hours to install and test it. If you like it then you can stick to it, otherwise you can put back on the Defy the bellowed official Froyo in few minutes (you simply have to flash the SBF with RSD Lite and you are good to go and your warranty isn't voided)...and I am not referring now to CM7 or another specific ROM as this apply to all.

The flashing process it's quite easy and you can find on this forum tones of detailed procedures on this matter. Moreover if you make a nandroid copy of your current system you won't even need to reinstall and reconfigure your apps if you go back to Froyo or whatever you're running on.

@maniac103 I totally agree with you man!
[Defy Android Development] peetr_:
CM7 Defy is one of the best working CM7 phones with plenty of settings and details, that never was and never will be in any phone with stock rom. Devs did very hard job and took this phone to its limits. Thank you Epsylon, Maniac and Quarx. Now I have Photon with CM7, because of HW limits of Defy, but I miss CM7 from you guys. Photon CM7 is far from stable point. Yours is done.

Again, sorry for my English. :-)
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
for bootloop problem,

it only exist after you wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

not a serious problem right?

it only happens when you updating cm7.

you can pull out the battery when you see the light button stops changing its brightness.

(which means the caching process is done)

CM is provided by some nice volunteer devs, for free.

they have a life, a real life to live,

yet they still have a heart and love for spending their time for us here.

we love you guys.

hey maniac103, congratulation to you. adding another smart kid to the world? hehe :D
[Defy Android Development] Andrew-droid:
Hi guys,

I have been using nightly update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed, released right after the 11.11.11 one.

It seems like 2d acceleration is not on, at least on LauncherPro, because the view of the homescreens where we pick and go directly to is is very sluggish for some time now.

Before it was super fast and smooth. Since LaucherPro was not updated i think it must have been some change on CM7.

Does anyone know anything bout this? And if there's a way or configuration I can do to address it and make 2d apps smooth and hardware accelerated again?

I searched on this thread but was hard to find anything...

And what is the latest stable/very functional nightly? If anyone can say I'll thank, so I don't have to test the last ones one by one.

Thanks, cheers!
[Defy Android Development] showbas:
Hey do you know how to change the boot screen with the horrible bee from cyanogen 7.1.11. I prefer tge Google logo.

I there a nightly in particular that would change this picture ?

Thanks :p

Nope. Search the market for splash tools to do it yourself.
[Defy Android Development] Andrew-droid:
Dude theres an app that changes the boot load screens.... look out for it on here in XDA and also android market! Good luck.

Congrats for the newborn and good luck with your new life-time 'dad' job :D.

Thanks a bunch for your last post; I was just about writing something in those lines ...again! But you did it more elegantly than I would have...

I think that you deserve more credits about CM7-Jordan than people give you.

But anyhow, thanks again for all you've done for all of us.

Now, go change that diaper it's smelly! :p
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:

[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:

[Defy Android Development] JanHimpIII:
Congratetulations @maniac from me too. Beleave me, it's harder to get that smart than a phone ;)

And thanks for your post and your work here!

When I first bought this phone, I tried to deal with that stock eclair. Then we waited for stock froyo.

I learned a lot by trying to optimize/customize that, but the result was not really satisfying.

So after a lot of reading of the very good instructions from the devs and other users I managed to install CM7.

I tried also MIUI, but for me now, CM7 ist the best.

I remember well the issues on stock ROM.

So for all who complain: go back to stock for at least one week!

Mail all issues to motorola and see what happens.

After that we will warmly welcome you back :D

So thanks to all devs and testers, you made my phone finally being smart!
[Defy Android Development] sykoism:
Congrat to you maniac:-)

I just installed nightly #63. The phone is displaying 'Emergency Calls only'. Airplane mode is also switched off. Tried rebooting and reinserting the SIM. Didn't work still :( . Please help!

Edit: Changed the Baseband. Now working fine!
[Defy Android Development] ntldr:
I have none of your problems. Running CM7.1 stable.

Plus, why are you so demanding?

They are doing these ROMs because they're passionate, and we are lucky that this kind of people still exist. If you're so satisfied about stock Froyo, no one stops you from installing it back...

1. no asking of ETA..except for pizza deliveries.:D

2. no finished,final,perfect android ROM existing all "must" have inconsistencies & bugs bunny.:eek:

3. if battery drains too much - don't use the phone,turn it off.:mad:

4. if you cant live w/ the little bugs,go get an iphone 4gs & say hello to mrJobs for me.;)

5. make a habit of rebooting the phone once a day everyday.AMEN:cool:
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Why? Or is this a joke? I reboot basically only when I'm installing a new nightly.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
that just because there's always a new improvement and new feature on this open source development.

and need some time to stabilizing it on defy.. :cool:

[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
that's the beauty of android, as open source project.

everyone could improve, and contribute to the development.

so there's always a cycle of improvement - bug report - fixing - improvement - so on..

but not everyone exactly,

only chuck norris descendant like quarx, epsylon, maniac could do it.. :D
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I don't have the need to reboot that frequently at all. But I'm usually not playing any demanding games and such.

And the only computers that need to be rebooted regularly are running Windows - no need to do that with Linux/Unix (which Android kinda is).
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
yes thats true,if you never install/uninstall any addtl apps,dont use to surf,not watch vids,play music,torrents,hd games too much...thats fine.good as stock-no cache written over & over.no need to reboot.

and it doesnt hurt to reboot too,esp if u have a reboot widget;)

or a turnoff once a day is better.

with version 04.12 what i record on wide get stuck on play and i got an error message.clean cache on camera/wipe cache and dalvik cache with restore but same problem.
[Defy Android Development] pkryger:
The 'My Phone Number' (or whatever it's called) is a SIM card thing. It depends on the ROM if you can edit it or not. You can edit it with another phone. Any phone that reads your SIM shall be good - even old so called 'feature phones'. Or just pull out the SIM card altogether with sdcard before turning it back to be repaired.
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:

I love cm7 and cant even think of going back to froyo.
[Defy Android Development] Rosbif:
Just installed this.

I had to add that this is a superb ROM. Blindingly fast, stable and very good on the battery.

Much better than the stock French ROM I had. My previous stock ROM was causing no end of problems, such as dropped calls, calls going straight to VM, etc. No probs at all with this.

Thanks for the hard work put into this.

Solution?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375701

Can someone test unlocking bootloader?
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
Here is the question: I'm calling smb, move phone to my ear, screen goes off, when i move phone from my ear (call still going) i do have SCREEN ON + VIBRATE. Vibrate is really annoying and I haven't found where i can disable this vibration event.

SOLVED:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...proximity-bug/page__view__findpost__p__170552

in case anybody happens upon this thread on a search.

the fix is to go into Profiles under settings. Go through to the profile you are using, select phone and then make sure vibrate is "no override". you will get constant vibrations with the proximity sensor if the setting is selected "On"

i would suggest this method before wiping/reinstall.

worked for me just fine on my N1

I am using the latest CM 7.1.0 stable but i have found a single problem. On the home screen (using ADW launcher) when i hit the phone button it takes to the contacts page instead of taking me to dialer. I thought that what contacts button was for (next to phone button in my screenshot). What or how can i do so that when i press the first button it will take me to dialer?
[Defy Android Development] iammodo:

[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
The case is that when I unlock I can not see the call log.

Believe me the last thing is to write about the things that are not there.

I thought that when I see something that is not working I just write about it.

So I did - in my opinion - perhaps others will agree - the feature Always back to the call log is not working properly.

Call finish - last longer than screen lock - after unlocking U see "homescreen" not call log.

--------------------

Another thing:

Music player

When its connected by ears cable I can hear all the noises coming from the device - i.e. when scrolling the playlist, searching, ect.

No such noises under WajkIUI ROM music player.

I assume that that music players are totally different in those ROM's?
