I can´t see the dictionaries working (spanish) in the default keyboard. I installed the ics one, and works well. However, the default keyboard is WAAAAAY more accurate! I love it.
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:
hey guys do you know where we can get some nice themes for the msginger2.1
[Defy Android Development] mindugo:
Walter, is it possible to integrate this in MS2Ginger ROM ?

[APP] Toggle 2G/3G (Tasker/Locale plugin) [v0.0.17 / 11-18] now with injection!
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
enable zoom in BlurCamcorder

add this to your build.prop

ro.camcorder.zoom=true

Could someone try this and check why camcoder app FC with this option?

Bugs and ideeas (green lens Defy)

MS2Ginger for Green lens still have problems. If I install it like in the guide, the PhotoCamera is laggy and nonreponsive. If I press back button several times, nothing happens and after a while I get a FC. Also, after I take a foto, the left-down corner, where the mini-preview of the new photo is, is green or have green straits. I because of the animation.

If I change BlurCamera.apk with the one from Gingerbread, the mini-preview of the photo is not well located into the mini-preview frame. Also I have a panorama mode crash after a second shoot (the second shoot to attach to the panorama photo): insufficient memory (something like that).

Otherwise, I liked this rom with its blur integration but that bug makes me switch.

Also, I suggest to make a version without that toggle from notification bar because I observed that it doesn't update the WiFi or APN status if a third party app (like Juice Defender or Green Power) change them.
[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:
walter check this http://www.multiupload.com/TUZHXCGLMZ :D milestone 2 oficial uk gb.we can use t/system to flash our defy(after we do some modifications of course;))

Oh my God, I just hope we don't loose our current language support in the next MS2ginger version:p
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Nothing new in the official Milestone2 GB rom. We can use BlurCamera.apk for MS2Ginger2.1 and Lite2.0 (better language support).

I will check the supported video formats. If avi crashes no need to update to new base rom.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Video playing is better in new Milestone 2 GB rom.

Mpeg4 hw decoding works.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I will not update to the new official Milestone 2 GB UK rom.

I will make only a update for some libs, BlurCamera.apk spellchecking, swype keyboard and tts.
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:

[Defy Android Development] walter79:

I will only change to CM7 or CM9 (ICS) if 720p record and panorama works.
[Defy Android Development] spyki007:

[Defy Android Development] walter79:

[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
Thanks, already download, install by CWM, ok? About CM9, i understand, but dont could input 720p/panorama in Cm9 and others changes your? Your builds are excellent :cool:
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
Installed update. Quadrant textures don't appear anymore, I think it is Quadrant problem with this version. AnTuTu reported the same value as before update.

Thank you very mutch for this update.
[Defy Android Development] NtwoO:
So this rom will now include the dictionaries for other languages or only use the en dictionaries?
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
I think that SWYPE keyboard is not working :S My locale is pt_BR and under SWYPE configuration, Language preferences are disabled.
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:

[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:
strange thing about the icons on motorola official software update says:+ New User Interface and Color Scheme:

New widgets, icons and screens with refreshed colors.

perhaps its not the good sfb:(
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Contrary to what Walter previously indicated, the update doesn't seem to include BlurCamera.apk. I'm not sure that there is a different BlurCamera.apk for the different camera modules anyway. AIUI the stock .sbfs up to and including Froyo work with both types of camera module; it's only the Gingerbread ones which only work with the red lens module, because only the Defy+ gets Gingerbread from stock and it always has the red lens module.

I think Walter has updated post #1 to indicate that the zip version is only for the Red lens Defy and the Defy+. I plan to have a go at flashing the .sbf via rsdlite.
[Defy Android Development] mikeman8484:
after updating to Defy+ ( becasue i got bigger battery ) the stand by time on balanced battery setting is awesome 41h so far and still 25% left :) a bit less then normal use :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
They are different. I did not removed anything in chinese build.

[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:

[Defy Android Development] crub55:
you add more language in beta 3 or next beta? :D

good work man!

[Defy Android Development] SteveChou:
- ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=41

- ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=25

They are properties in ME525 build.pro

what about those in MB525/526?

Will it work if I change them?

[Defy Android Development] vikrambharadwaj:
Hey did you remove the T9 keyboard (moto input method) from the beta3? Can you please provide me the patch to get back it again?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Later i will build a patch.

Could some test this build.prop

ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.45.0.10.MB526.Retail.en.GB

or

ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.GB (maybe you can use your old account)

try ro.build.version.full = "copy from your old froyo rom"

This should fix login problem for Blur account

Edit: ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.GB

This fixed login problem to old account.
[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:

[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:

Thanx in advance
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
Update with problem

Hello Walter!

SystemUI.apk of Update 1 MS2Ginger2.1 dont workink in MS2Ginger Lite. After reboot FC and never work...

EDIT...

I'm copy SystemUI.apk of Lite and paste in system/app and solved my problem.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
It is possible but you have to switch kernel and devtree everytime you use 2nd-boot.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
ok thanks. I will wait till a proper integration of bootmenu for dual booting. :)
[Defy Android Development] Junpher:
Hi Walter,

Could you please add more lockscreen styles and also volume rocker wake feature in MS2Ginger?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Try Argen2Stone rom.
[Defy Android Development] :
I had the charger plugged in and selected to "Reboot now" in boot Menu.

The phone didn't stop rebooting anymore, even taking the battery off, after inserting again it would remain in boot loop.

The safest workaround I found is to restore system only, it worked fine again and all my data seems untouched.

I read warning about Sleep while charging in 1st post, I'm not sure if it's related or what's the specific file that caused it to my phone.

No tricks while connected, only power off :p.

I tried and I'm not able to select any language in swype too. In swipe's upper left key is written NL.

Can't swype, but overall it's good.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Social apps just stopped working. Last FB update is from 29th November and when I add widget on homescreen nothing is shown on it :(

I also have some major battery drain - used to have 66h but now 10% in 7 hours during night time is just too much. I cant get more than 36h of batery life. And 3g Data took me 20mb during night time too even with sync off and battery mode that disables syncing during night.

Also, ROM became so slow and sometimes lagging too much. I had to reboot it few times so it could become more responsive :S

What the hell is going on? :(
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
Weird, I just added the social network widget to homescreen and it synched ok. Last update is from 15 minutes.

I tried to make a call right now and I can't make. It starts dialing and instantly ends with 00:00 of call time. Signal is at maximum. Someone else is experiencing the same behavior? Maybe it is just my network with problems, IDK.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I know it is weird that's why Im so confused :S

Do u have 2.1 ROM and did u installed it with this new long installing procedure?

I have 2.1 but installed it before this new procedure was done, but hey, my social apps worked for 2 weeks without any problem :(

Maybe it is some 3rd party app that I installed that screwed it. Nimbuzz is the only one that comes on my mind that could potentially do that. Maybe GoLauncher or GoSMSPro...That's was all I added since 28th as I can remember :S
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
My defy came with 2.2.1 and I screwed it, I mean, I installed shadow-128 2.3.4, so no official rom for me anymore. I followed the downgrade tutorial and installed cm7.1. And now I'm using msginger.

The only problem I'm having right now is that with the calls.

Edit.: Yeah, network problem. This ROM is just getting better every day. :-D
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I meant are u using MS2Ginger 2.1 at the moment :D

Not Android 2.1 Eclair :D

Nvm...Ill try to reinstall MS2Ginger latter on.

HELP!!!!!!

OK... so I am officially screwed.

After I couldn't get rid of motorola.services.blablabl nagging me all the time AND wipe of Dalvik and Cache didn't help either, I flashed the FIXED SBF from 1st Post (green lens) with rsd lite....

rsd lite asked me to MANUALLY BOOT the phone after flashing the sbf file...

however phone DOES NOT BOOT .. only RED "M" FOREVER.......

FACTORY RESET didn't help either

I AM ABLE to enter CWM recovery.

Can anyone help, please? :-)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
why flashed fixed sbf. if you have green defy. restore boot, devtree,recovery from green lens backup.
[Defy Android Development] Han-Droid:
weil die frage danach, ob man dieses sbf flashen soll hier paar mal gestellt wurde und unbeantwortet blieb (bis jetzt *g*)....

naja und ich wusste keine hilfe mehr diese nervige motorala.service meldung wegzubekommen,...

tja keine ahnung..

aber VIELEN DANK für die schnell antwort...also einfach noch mal flashen wie in posting 1

THANKS!

Hi frnds..

Is there any problem with update 1? I mean ppl are reporting problem with swype and so. Just wanted to know before trying it.
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
Hey Walter,

I found the problem with persian support:

1-Initially the Persian/Arabic characters are not connected in this ROM

2-You apply the salah-heart Arabic support patch: Persian(Farsi) problem:(

The solution I've found:

Just use the droidsansarabic font initially included in the MS2ginger2.1 ROM instead of the one included in the salah-heart patch:D

For me no problems..except that with the swype languages so I deleted swype.

[Defy Android Development] ramdak:
It vibrates except for messages (sms or mails). That app did not solve it.

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] :
For sms:

In Motorola's default sms/mms app, go to "Messaging settings", Enable "Notifications" and (at the bottom of the list) activate "Vibrate".

(Instead of that, I use app "Handcent SMS", it has tens of settings for sms/mms.)

At this point, is at least sms solved?

Hi walter and company

2 questions for you.

1-why not install the update 1 for the ms ginger2.1? i already did so is there a problem with it? let me know please.

Any Fix for the dictionaries in swype?, when I try to change the dictionary, it shows me that I have none, (which seems to be true) so I can't swype. I love this rom, but the fact that swype comes built-in means also that I can't download the beta, and I really really like swype :(
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Lol...This Social app amazes me every day more and more!

Now it is working with wifi too.

Maybe something was buged cause battery drained completly on that day (29th november) but now, after 2 reboots and some data/wifi switching it is on again (with few hours of delay for updates though but nvm).

[Defy Android Development] :
People having issues with battery drain, have you done this?
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
+1 - can't select a language in Swype settings - the menu item is greyed out - so Swyping doesn't work. You can still enter text a character at a time, and it does offer suggestions, but it ain't Swype.

As a plus point, it has the pale grey keyboard which I

much

prefer to the dark grey one in the original 2.1 ROM. If only Swype worked!

You can uninstall the built-in Swype using Titanium Backup, then install the beta using the Swype installer app. I just tried it and it works OK - but I get the dark grey keyboard back :(

If only Swype as provided by this update worked! (Did I say that before?)
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
Contacts crashes easily if you remove /system/app/yahoo.apk email.apk or MSActivesync.apk, so be carefull, remove dalvik cache and reboot is neccesary to get contacts back to normal.

How do i remove swype so that i can restore its backup?
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I had some detours with other ROMs but now realised that MS2Ginger2.1 is really the best ginger for Defy and want to go back to it.

Now, if I download MS2Ginger red lense .zip file, and MS2Ginger2.1-Update-1.zip, do I need to download this too:

25.11.11 - MS2Ginger ALL ONLY RED DEFY or DEFY+ added new update.zip = Defy-4.5.3-109-fixed.sbf via CWM-recovery

And after that this one:

04.12.11 - MS2Ginger 2.1 and Lite 2.0 DEFY red and DEFY+ kernel update - from 4.5.2-109 DHT-22?????

So when I install this ROM, here are some ending steps:

Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm

Select "recovery" and confirm

reboot.

So do I need to install Update1.zip before or after rebooting device? And do I need to wipe data/cache/dalvik...

Also, if I need to update those kernels, do I need to wipe data/cache/dalvik?

Do I update em like .zip or with Backup/Restore in CWM?

Tnx...Few days trying some other ROMs and this became so confusing to install :D
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:
hey guys whats up?

the msginger 2.1 is really good i am enjoying it a lot. however only 2 problems so far.

do you know why the widgets etc never update automatically? i have to hit refresh all the time! any suggestions? i am using go launcher themes

also i tried everything for the battery draining problem..nothing seems to work....it lasts like 70% of the day not even one full day...and am not using any videos or music but its connected to wifi most of the time.
