Ok i Installed cm7 release candidate 1.5 on my defy green lense for the first time yesterday and am absolutely loving it super fast and really smooth.

However i have a few questions. I am currently in the process of reading the last sixty or seventy pages of the main thread to get a feel for the current issues and fixes but the thread itself is over 1000 pages!!! so i have a few questions i am hoping can be quickly answered.

my camera forced closed yesterday... i went into gallery and then chose the camera from there and then when i went to take a pic bang fc. is this a know issue as it seems ok now?

i want to install launcher pro and remove adw. i have read that i need to make sure launcher pro is somewhere in the system files. can anyone tell me exactly what and where i need to put this?

can i remove the dialer and replace it with a better one? i was using nordic deblurred before and that dialer basically brought up contact numbers as you started to enter the number. that is ideally what i want. how can i do this and does anyone know where i can find that dialer app?

does cm7 come overclocked by default or do i need to set it in cwm?

and most importantly... i am in the uk on 3 network which is the best baseband for me to use? as it is i have access to texts call quality seems ok and data network works fine but my mum did complain of me cutting out. i changed a few settings in the network operaters section and it seems ok but i havent switched basebands until i know which one to actually switch to.

are there any patches or fixes that i should apply to make the rom run even better or that will give me additional stuff?

if you can help it weill be most appreciated.
[Defy General] :
wifi will not work

Hello,

i have a problem with wifi. my phone connect´s hortly and than disconnect.

i use the ROm from the first thread.

could anyone help me.

Lu Chen
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
many thanks for that reply. i did see the bit about the clock speeds in the og post. i am quite happy with the settings as they are so will be leaving that.

camera seems to be working fine now and i have installed camera 360 pro as well which is way better to be honest so i will in all likelihood remove the stock camera app. i also removed the gallery 3d and replaced it with quickpics as it is just so much better. i have also been removing a few of the stock apps that i never need nor use using system app remover although i have encountered a problem trying to remove the books app. it wouldnt uninstall and using root explorer i can find it in the system apps. so it is going to have to stay although i may do a bit more digging to get rid of it once and for all.

as it stands the call quality is fine the way it is with no break ups and texts data 3g and everything else working perfect so i will leave the baseband as it is for now.

love the rom i was going to ditch the defy for the atrix but i think i will hold off for now simply because using cm7 has given the phone a new lease of life. it is the best i have tried so far and i cant see any reason to go changing it. once i have set it up perfect i will nandroid it and then maybe try a few others but i dont think anyuthing will come close to this beast. i have had a couple of force closes but nothing majot=r and nothing to be concerned about.

the battery life seems ok. i got two days out of it but the last 24 hours aint been so good but i have been using 3g which hammers the battery no matter what rom you use so in line with what i expect.

all in all top stuff and again thanks for getting back to me.

edit got a quadrant score of 2200 which is the most i have ever had on this phone. this rom is amazing. massive thanks to the devs for creating such a stable and top rom. cm7 has transformed the phone and with a decent theme from adw it is actually about as good as it gets. i have always found the camera to be the one weak spot. it really is garbage. it is ok for everyday quck snaps but as i have a tz10 which is the bollox then it aint bothered me. however since i installed 360 pro the pic quality has improved a hell of a lot and the shots could now be passed off as pretty darn good. amazing really what a decent camera app can do. goes to show the actual lens aint too bad and the problemo actually lies with the software.

[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
ok getting really amazing battery life on rc1.5. a good 2 and half days of minimal useage and about 1 and a half to 2 days of normal useage. i have problems with the proximity sensor when taking and making calls. basically the screen will go dark and it is then a bit of a struggle to get it back again. i have read it could have something to do with my screen protector. however i aint gonna remove it. no way. i am quite happy throwing the phone about getting it wet taking it in the shower etc and i dont put it in a case or anything daft like that but the screen protector means i can be a bit rough with it and not worry. so this is more a bug of cm7 as i never had this problem with any other rom screen protector issue or not.

however i have two questions i am hoping someone can answer.

i have flashed the call recording zip and installed both call recorder and total call recorder. however both of these apps automatically record every conversation. i would porfer to have a little button i can press to enable recording when and only when i want to. am i missing a trick here??? is there some setting i arent enabling in these apps? or can anyone recommend a call record app that does just that and only record when i want and not every time?

finally i stupidly deleted the torch app., now i tried removing the app from the cm7 zip file on my pc and then installing it. however i get install not successful. i have tried a few others from the market and none of them work. so my question is how can i install the torch app? if i cant can you recommend another torch app that works with cm7.

also i have signed up for swype beta but aint got an email so can anyone give me a link to a working swype for the defy?

too be honest i am finding a few tiny little bugs now especially around the flash on the camera. i may try reinstalling if i cant fix the torch issue and may try the new cm7 official.

at the end of the day it is still a superb rom and works fine for everyday useage and the vast majority of things just work and work real fast. even the proximity problem isnt that big a deal and the flash though irritating isnt a deal breaker. it would be nice to have a working torch though.

if anyone can answer that would be great.

EDIT:

STill need some guidance regrading the

torch app install do i simply need to put it in the system app using root explorer? would that work?

the call recorder? is there a workaround? any app that records only when i want it too?

also another question. i uninstalled the messaging app and even though i have chomp installed and i can send texts i could not receive them? anyone know why this is so? also any way i can just get rid of it and simply use chomp?

have thw swpe keyboard sorted they sent me a code after a 24 hour wait so thats all good.
[Defy General] Proda:
So is this topic dead of what?

I don want to ask some questions in Quarx CM7 topic, considering this one more appropriate for that.

So I would like to know which nightly is the most stable one to install? And what other tweaks do I need to do in order to have fully functional mobile phone with CM7 on it?

By fully functional, I asume that there are no WiFi problems of any kind (battery drain, signal loss, random disc/conn, WPA2 probs...), that 3G is working good in Serbia, no cammera FCs or any other probs, MMS sending/receiving works, no contacts editing problems (cause I've seen that some guys had that), no Market problems, no Calendar and Gallery problems, that YouTube and Gmail work like charm...

And of course, that battery can last 2+ days with normal, modarate usage (few calls, 20-30 sms, wifi on for few hours, 3g on but not sync, some listening to music, maybe 30-45min of playin games).

If u could point me to the best solution and how to install it I would appreciate that very much...

Tnx...
[Defy General] krustbr:
Hello guys,

ive got a defy from by buddy whom tried to put on CM7, but, he told me he did the wipedata/cache, after putting on the Cm7, and now the phone stays stucked on "Google/Motorola" logo , it happens on Stable REcovery/Stock recovery, from bootloader options.

Any clue of how i can fix that??

Thx in advance ;)
[Defy General] Bumble99:
Can you get into Stable recovery or is that when it hangs at the logo? If I were you I would do a fresh install starting with flashing official Froyo ROM using RDS lite.
[Defy General] Krusadr:
Well now that the CyanogenMod 7.1.0-11 Stable is released and CM7 is finally out, can someone plase post a clean nandroid backup?

I'm on SEA FroYo atm and eagerly want CM7 stable, but I also want to have my warranty, so am waiting for someone to post a nandroid backup.

If I am correct, flashing the CM7 stable zip will prevent me from going back to FroYo for warranty, right?
[Defy General] maniac103:
Wrong. You can flash any sbf to go back to Froyo.
[Defy General] Krusadr:
Oh! So Cyanogenmod is not like flashing full sbf where I loose the ability to downgrade to FroYo?

Thats nice to hear, will be putting the 11.11.11-0 build by quarx then.
[Defy General] Krusadr:
OK! I successfully managed to install CyanogenMod 7.1 -11 build, and boy is it fast!

Kudos to all those who developed and thanks to this thread as well for summing up the necessary stuff!

Firstly, I would like to state that it is necessary to clear the Dalvik cache before flashing the CyanogenMod 7.1 zip and the GApps zip. If you don't, you will most likely get stuck at the first boot at the spinning CyanogenMod logo.

If you do get stuck, just pull out battery, enter stable recovery and wipe cache partition and in advanced, wipe Dalvik cache and finally reboot. That's how I did it and it works!

Second, I had troubles with WiFi too initially, and I manged to solve it by switching to g mode and also made the channel selection Auto in my Belkin Share N300 WiFi router settings. I will try to switch to n tonight when I get home.

Third, I can see noticeable jerkiness in everything from sliding home screens, to opening app drawer and even pinching the home screen. The animation is just not smooth and also the scrolling of app icons in the main menu is not smooth. Please tell me if there is some solution to this. I will search the web and If I find something, will post back here!

Thanks once again, and cheers!
[Defy General] antony.ps:
FAQ updated (the procedure didn't change at all) and simplified in some points ;-)
[Defy General] Bumble99:
Thanks Antony.PS. I found your guide very helpful the first time I flashed CM7 so its good to see its still being maintained. One question, is it necessary to install gapps when flashing a nightly? I would think that should be marked as an optional step.
[Defy General] pedromole:
Good to see that this thread is being kept up to date - thanks.

One bit that I think has changed is the intallation of 2nd init. I don't think it can be downloaded from the market anymore.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
Will test this next nightly update, thanks.

Thanks for the info, I always install from apk, didn't know that it was removed '-'
[Defy General] Exxonvaldez:
com.android.phone

Hi,

I followed the procedure to install CM7 with option to downgrade again. Everything went fine (I think), but after recovering my data and user apps with titanium the phone app (com.android.phone) constantly crashes. The phone is unusable. What did I do wrong? I mean, an upgrade is fine, but I want to use my contacts and stuff...
[Defy General] antony.ps:
You should backup only user apps + data, maybe you have backup/restored all your apps (including system apps), overwriting the apps from CM7.1. Try to flash cm7.1 again and restore only user apps.
[Defy General] Exxonvaldez:
Did that but I want the sms conversations and some other system data back. Even if I recover the data only still the phone.app will eventually start crashing.

Also I noticed Wifi is really really slow and buggy now. Downloads are so slow ( it was N standard and fast before the update ) and the connecting get interrupted without android noticing. Only the apps tell me there is no connection. Android still thinks it is wifi connected.

I am not happy with the update so far. Cannot see any improvement...

--> One day later. I managed to get everything back to work. After carefully going through the entire update progress again and again, recovering data one by one until the phone app starts crashing again. The wifi trouble has stopped. Still I am not happy. All my sms conversations are lost and so are all birthdays. In the contacts I cannot even see a birthday option, I don't understand why. Also the standard contact-search is gone. Before the update I simply swyped the name of the person I was looking for - and the contact app was really fast. Now I had to download something (slow unfortunately) to do the job.

Can anyone tell me where to get the old contact app bundle, how to replace, tell me if it's working at all with the new rom... Thank you guys.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
I use many wifi's at my work, N and G, with wpa, wpa2, wep and open, and everythink works. But some people have problems with wifi, you can search CM7 thread for solutions maybe.

* There are other apps to backup messages, but I never used any. Good luck.
[Defy General] Proda:
Im a lil bit confused how to install CM7 on my phone.

So if I have rooted/2nd installed my 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR, do I need to install 7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip first, and then I can install latest nightly over it or I can just go to nightly right away?

Which nightly is the best nightly in your opinion?

Do I need to wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing 7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip?

Do I need to wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip?

Do I need to wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing nightly?

After installing everything, witch baseband should I chose for Serbia?

Do I need anything else?

Ty...

Cheers.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
You can go to nightly, you need to wipe data/cache/dalvik only before the ROM (cm7.1 or nightly, not before gapps) and try to find your baseband opening Baseband Switcher. If you don'r find it, i suggest you to backup the folder /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ (use RootExplorer to copy it to your sdcard), where your baseband files are stored. Don't forget to change the permissions to 644 for files and 755 for the firectory when restoring this folder.
[Defy General] Proda:
Can u plz answer me on this question too:

Which is the best nightly in your opinion?

Tnx mate.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
I don't install nightlies everyday, so you need to make your own tests. I'm using 28.11.2011 right now and everything is working flawlessly. If you are unshure about stability, battery and performance, always go to cm7.1 stable version.
[Defy General] Krusadr:
Hey folks! Sorry, was caught up in work, so couldn't post back an update on my WiFi situation.

Now CM7 works on n mode as well... I just changed router to n mode and left everything to auto and it worked....

Still not found anything on jerkiness problem, will try putting Launcher PRO.

Have to say that battery does not last as long as it did with stock FroYo, but its to be expected when the CPU is overclocked to 1GHz.

Also for the battery problem, I am using JuiceDefender on aggressive settings and it works flawlessly, giving me approx 1.6x more battery time (at least that's what it says in the app :) ).

Thanks for updating the tutorial, antony.ps!

[Defy General] twa_priv:
No, just wipe cache + dalvik and then install the zip. You might get stuck on the CM logo on the first boot (if it stays on there more than a few minutes). If so then just pull the battery and restart the phone.

the link were you can find some driver for motorla and rsdlite http://www.seb-info-service.net/cyanogenmod/
[Defy General] Bumble99:
Coelho_ beat me to it. Use RSDLite and a pc. However when this happened to me I was not able to successfully flash any SFB and my phone was indeed bricked. I had to get a new motherboard from Motorola. Hopefully you are fine.

I also love swype and installed it manually on cyanogenmod without problems. You can instal swype beta. Just google swype beta and register, download, install, etc.

I'm on 7.1.0-RC1.5Jordan now. Is an upgrade usefull/advisable??
[Defy General] kruppin:
Will I notice any difference if I change SBF from 177 nordic to the 179 one? The kernel and everything comes with CM, so in theory there shouldn't be any difference in stability and such, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry but wath version of sbf i have to flash?

Any of the stock 2.2 froyo should work..

How can I know if I'm on a Froyo or Gingerbread kernel? In About Phone, kernel version states 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8vfcj78@zch68lnxdroid50. Isn't that just the linux kernel version in use?

I must be on a Froyo kernel, because the CM 7.2 20120102 nightly works well on my phone.

I agree, start from scratch. You did the wipe data/factory reset in Stock (Motorola) Recovery so you killed your Custom Recovery. If you installed CM7, never wipe anything in Stock Recovery (!!), use stable/Custom Recovery.

Hi guys,

Im currently on Ep3 31.jan build with AL's patch...

I want to lower CPU clk from 1000 to 800.

So is it better to do that with SetVSel or I can do that via CWM?

Also, I noticed that Enable all modules in CWM CPU sets is disabled. What would happen if I enable it?

As I remember for SetVSel that should be enabled.

Anyone using Smartass gov maybe?

Is it better that Ondemand?
