[Defy General] TimelesslyPrecise:
Where to start...

QUOTE=rockmonkey1973;1813913 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?

__if the camera seems fine now, it probably just needed the dust knocked off of it before use...

I heard in the past, that it's good to actually use the camera once after first flash of froyo, but before flashing cm7.. If you don't have any issues, I don't see any reason to start over

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?

__You can use root explorer to accomplish this.

You should first install launcher pro..

Then, move its apk from

/data/apps to /system/apps

Make sure you tick from R/o (read only) mode to R/w (read write) mode.

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?

__I would not suggest using any of the stock blur apps... They aren't deodexed (not immediately compatible w/cm7), and they are considered spyware... Though, dig around in cm7.. I don't see why you can't just drag through your contacts as easily as typing their number in.. :) but, there very well may be a setting for what you are looking for also

__

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

__Yes. If you take a look back at the main threads first post, it gets more into detail... But, her is the skinny..

The clock in the unofficial cm7 is set at

300, 600, 1000 mhz...

The voltages are set under normal also, so you don't have to worry about blowing up your phone.

The CPU uses each of those frequencies, as it needs (on demand). Our stock maximum frequency is 800mhz. Most everyone says 1000 is safe, but I always go into boot and edit mine back down to 800.

You can do this by pushing the volume down key, when you see the blue light blink about ten seconds after booting up your phone.. Go into CPU, and you can edit and save this as you see fit. Though, default should be fine, it's good to know, just in case you think you may be having heat issues, or something crazy going on..

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.

__Without knowing what provider you are using, and in which geographic location, it's hard to suggest which baseband to use.. I'm in the

us.. :/

Try and ask google what frequency bands your provider uses, and when you find out which, just pick a baseband that has those bands also... You should be good after that. :)

__

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

__Um, not that I can think of.. Maybe try and turn off any display animations... Other than that, this ROM rocks very well.

Cheers
