I've installed everything, but It wont load CM7. It gets stuck at the M :( I did all the steps twice and got the same result :(

could it be the 2ndinit 1.7? should I use the 1.4?
[Defy General] marhensa:
y.e.s

of course!
[Defy General] bufa:
So I install 1.4 then CM7 and it will work, right? I'm flashing SFB again... :(

THANKS!!

edit: I don't press the VOL down button for boot menu to load, but it loads anyway:(
[Defy General] bufa:
Finally it's working!! thanks everyone!! :D

edit: now I'm having another problem...

with 3G and H networks.

I've installed

1. the "defy baseband" for my country argentina

2. the Fix.zip for bands 850 1900 for argentina too

Now it connects to 3G and H, but it does not download anything, the arrow allways goes up, but never down

Any ideas what could be blocking my connection??
[Defy General] hailmary:
If u do a factory reset inside the settings in cm7...it will restart & go bootloop forever til u get battery drain.i swear u will hate that option.

It should be temporary removed while its not working yet..

Somebody address quarx about it..

after i finish question 7, i should skip rooting in question 2 and start from installing 2nd init ?
[Defy General] Bendary:
I just installed cm7 successfly and while its awesome, I have 3 problems, mainly the touch sensitive buttons (home.back,menu,search) dont light up at all they are working and I disabled haptic feedback but they dont light up at all, i want to remove adw launcher and replace with stock gingerbread launcher, led notifications dont blink and stay on when usb cable is connected how to disable led on usb thnx in advance:)
[Defy General] antony.ps:
Led on USB is not a BUG, it's a feature, and you can't disable it right now. If the buttons or lights don't work, try to reboot one or two times, if the problem persists reflash CM7. I'm using launcherpro right now, because adw is little lag, and it's running perfect.
[Defy General] Homesicktexan:
Stuck at M logo

I've tried this four times. I've also wiped my cache, factory wiped, and wiped davlik cache. I used the 1.4 2ndinitboot as well. I'm on Nordic and I can't figure out why I'm stuck at M logo. I successfully upgraded to CM7 on a different Defy, but the speaker was defective. Any ideas?

edit: instead of reflashing Nordic with RSD, I pulled the battery, entered custom recovery (which was ORange this time and not green like before) and rewiped, cached, and reinstalled and now it works! Don't know what was going on...

[Defy General] antony.ps:
Start at installation of 2ndinit, if you are already in Froyo rooted.
[Defy General] sunoldman:
About update without losing data, I think it's better to wipe cache + Dalvik Cache, sometimes it may cause some problems without this step.

Hello, I've got a question about GPS, is it fixed in beta 6??

because, I can't make it work, I installed the fix from the GPS thread "Instantaneous GPS Fixation CWR v1.2 US & INTERNATIONAL FINAL!" and it still doesn't work, so I'm asking if there is any other thing I could try...

I want my GPS back... :(
[Defy General] naenee:
I am using beta6, GPS works fine here, both before and after I flashed the package from the thread you mentioned.

I am not using any nightlies.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
GPS is ok here too, even without the patch (it only makes it more fast to find your location); You can try to make a clean install following the procedure in the FAQ, not a update.

All GPS problems are fixed by now (but some people still have problems with a difference about 5-20 meters, a matter of precision). If you can't make it work in Beta6, install a nightly build.
[Defy General] bufa:
I solved it with a program called: "GPS Aids", now it works perfectly and a lot faster!! :D

Thx ppl!!
[Defy General] nathrinder:
Maybe this could be added to the FAQ :

For anyone experiencing a very slow/freezing Google Maps app rendering the whole device unresponsive, you need to enter these commands in a terminal or in an adb shell :

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# echo sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096 >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# chmod 744 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Then reboot, and voilà ! It seems like it's working as expected now.

No problem of bootloop with Nightly we can download .

Overclocking CM7

Can I use the Bootmenu -> System to overclock the Defy under CM7?

Would I still need Milestone Overclock and SetCPU or SetVsel?

When I use the Bootmenu to overclock, the Governor settings under CM Performance settings doesn't reflect as 1000Mhz (the setting I used)

Also, the Bootmenu shows 4 Clock settings. Does that work for us?

Hey mates,i got a question for ya's.

I've got B6,and it works very well.

Id like to try the latest Nightly ,as it seems next version is going to take a bit.

I wanted to know,can i flash it over my B6 build?

Why would i want that? Well my earpiece broke and atm my only way i could use the phone,as a "phone" is using Bluetooth devices as Speaker+Mic doesnt work.

So im guessing Nightly does have that working.

Also i got lots of data that i wouldnt like to loose.

Or,anyone got any ETA on the next release of CM7?(Not nightly)

Sorry if this has been asked before ^^;

And thanks in advance =)
[Defy General] ccav2000:
Just go ahead and flash it, just remember to clear the "Dalvik Cache" and wipe the cache too. No need to wipe data, so all your apps/settings will stay intact.
[Defy General] kaiser_tytnii:
Hey guys i am new to defy

thanks for putting this post up

i didn't start with beta 6 but may 30 nightly

do i need to install brightness fix call fix mentioned in (3)?

do i need to install fix.zip when updating from nightly to nightly?

Just to confirm, the CM7 for defy comes with CMW? or I still need 2nd init to get the CMW when upgrading nightly?

please advise. thanks a lot!

[Defy General] pedrodh:
Please update the tutorial to Defy 2ndinit 1.8 , since that one it's safe to use now. It has an extra step, in 1.8 you can select the version of bootmenu you want to install, for this the safe option is 0.6.1 . This is the version on the Market too, so no need to redirect people to version 1.4 anymore ;)

How can i uninstall adw launcher?

I installed spb shell 3d and adw launcher cmes up everytime when i press the home button..
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Then again since beta 6 CM7 already comes with a working up-to-date bootmenu version. RC0 has bootmenu 0.8 which means flashing CM7 automatically updates the bootmenu installed with the 2ndinit app. I even use 2ndinit 1.3 and also have the latest bootmenu now. No need to mention this in the how-to. It can only cause confusion. :)
[Defy General] killmastern3:
You can uninstall it in Manage Applications or using a software like uninstaller. Better yet, when you press home and asks which launcher you want to use, check the option below(the one which says choose default) and select the launcher you want. That way, wen you are bored of spb, you can go back to adw ;)
[Defy General] terrydaia:
in the setup menu select "applications" then "manage applications"

select adwlauncher

option "launch by default" press "clear defaults"

then press "exit"

then press "home"

you will see a new window untitled "complete action using"

select your launcher and notch "use by default for this action"

it's all...

oops, killmastern3 was faster.

1st page for newBees

hi anthonyps,

my mates here in manila have been asking of the instructions to install the RC0...

i directed them to the 1st page of this thread but they are confused of the

beta6/RC0...

pls update the 1st page instructions.thanks.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
I will update the FAQ, with some more additions, when i update my phone, to test everything. The procedure to install RC0 is the same as Beta6, but you don't have to install any patches. Also, the procedure to update is the same too, without any patches/or command line steps.

PS: I will not put the procedure to install nightlies on the FAQ since someone that want nightly must know how to do this, to avoid asking stupid questions on the main topic of CM7. Anyone that's not familiarized with CM7 development should not install nightly, but they have the choice to.

@pedrodh will try your update and put it in FAQ, thanks.
[Defy General] killmastern3:
lol.. yours was more detailed. Guess that makes it even :)
[Defy General] RuDe..:
Thanks both of you :D
[Defy General] antony.ps:
FAQ updated.
[Defy General] confusedfella:
nvm saw your updated post

Thanks
[Defy General] drfakeacc:
As RC0 now supports the new bootloader, you may want to update the 2nd-init regarding entries in the FAQ, too.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
Don't think it will work. Have tested nightly with bootmenu 0.8.3, and still not working. bootmenu 0.6.x and Recovery Install 1.4_2 are the safe options.

pedrodh@ i haven't included links for 1.8 since you need a internet connection to use it, and not everybody will install baseband switcher, APN's or even setup a wireless connection to only install bootmenu. 1.4_2 still is my choice to keep things simple.
[Defy General] drfakeacc:
Well, I had no problems with that.
[Defy General] sp8y:
@antony.ps

Great guide - I used it yesterday to load RC0 (when you still had it showing for Beta 6) & it all worked first time. I was already running the Nordic sbf & using 2nd 1.4 so was even easier for me.

The only thing for point #2 in your guide since you have changed it to RC0 there's no mention of setting the default boot to the 2nd init boot.

Thanks again :)
[Defy General] Bumble99:
I noticed one mistake in the section of upgrading to rc0 from beta6. In the first step it says to put gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip on the sd card but later it says we must select gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip to install. Other than that bit of confusion it worked fine.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
There's no need to select 2nd init in bootmenu, since when you flash CM7 it's selected automaticaly.

Thanks, wil correct this.
[Defy General] sp8y:
Oh right sorry didn't know that.

Do you think I should leave mine with the default boot as 2nd init or should I change it to normal boot as default?

It's actually working great on the 2nd init so might just leave it :confused:
[Defy General] antony.ps:
If you change to normal, CM7 will not boot, since it uses 2nd Init.

Hi guys,

Recently came from a Desire HD, running a custom AR rom,

Now between a stock rom and custom AR rom, the difference was like Black/White.

Standard rom was slow to react, took for ever to load anything.

Custom rom was lightning fast and did everything instantly,

Now i have the Nexus S, the standard rom seems slow to react, and takes for ever to load anything

My question to those running Custom roms, has it sped up the phones reactions and loading times?? im debating weather or not to run CM7 or not on my Nexus S

I just bought a 32gb class 4 micro sd card and after formatting it via my desire Z, i keep on running into a really really wierd problem.

I would connect my phone to the computer and set it as disk drive and drag/drop a group of files in it (ie. playlist file or small ringtone files) and as soon as I eject it and unplug the cable from my phone, the files are suddenly gone again.

What am I screwing up and how do I fix this?

Is it possible that my format method is wrong? if so, can someone explain what's the best way to format the card properly.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
All SD cards, thumb drives, etc. are already formatted, usually FAT32, so you are wasting your time doing exactly what is already done. If you were to format to something besides FAT32, that would make sense.

Well, again, it's just a habit, but nothing wrong with it I believe. I waste maybe a few minutes doing a quick format.

But yeah, I'm sending the card back to the seller for an exchange so hopefully it's just bad luck. If not I'll have to spend more money on a better card eventhough this one is a Kingston class 4 which was unsettling....

I played around with getting this working last night, but basically only got as far as Wi-fi Calling loading, but not working. In other words, it would give an error about an Invalid SIM, and naturally wouldn't work. I might play around with it a bit more tonight and look at the logcat a bit more, but I suspect there is some glue code that is missing to make it work. It might make more sense to seriously consider getting it to work once CM7 gets a bit more stable on the phone.
