Hello walter, thank you for uploading it!

I have managed to solve some issues

1. After 4 or 5 fresh clean installs, now if you plug it in then shut it down It will enter charge only mode (before it would bootloop)

2. The only remaining problem I find is that if you try to turn the defy ON while it is in charge only mode (with the battery icon charging) it will enter a bootloop like always

3. Haven't tested discharging it to 0% to see if it charges but if it goes to charge only mode while shut down it should be solved too right? (since the problem we had was that it couldn't charge while the defy was OFF no matter what % of battery was left)

[Defy Android Development] :
can someone link me to the stock theme of msginger5.0 that deleted the cyanogen settings option?

how can I disable button backlight (hate it) I've read its by editing build prop but...... which option I have to change to what value? thank you :)

EDIT: Disabled button backlight, its so well explained the build.prop :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
# Brightness scaling of the keyboard button

# backlight from 0-100%

persist.sys.button_brightness=10

set it to 0

Theme that deletes CM Settings from MS2 Ginger 5
[Defy Android Development] :
thanks for the theme just installing it right now

the main advantages of porting kernel to cm7 is that we get higher performance and better battery life like in msginger?
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
I have a Defy + with stock 2.3.6 rom that has a problem.

He makes reboots itself in the middle of a call or when

I make a data connection via 3G. I tested this rom by Walter, MS5, and the mobile

phone was great for a week, after a week returned to the same problem. Can anyone

help? The mobile phone has no warranty ...

Sorry my bad english :(
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
try to change baseband.
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
Thank you Walter! Exist any tutorial to change baseband?
[Defy Android Development] pradeeppk:
Use baseband switcher application.
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
Sorry this off topic but... what is the better baseband for Portugal?I´m using Optimus network.

Thank you in advance!
[Defy Android Development] N_lover27:
is this for only Defy?

Well i tried to flash MS2ginger v5 and stuck on boot logo
[Defy Android Development] chuckiebronco:
Thanks for the nice rom!

Unfortunately the soft simunlock doesn't work on my defy+. Having T-mobile.De netlock...

Btw, the aroma buttons seem to be a little confused with their description: "Enable xxx" with underline: "Click it to disable xxx"
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Did it work with other roms?
[Defy Android Development] chuckiebronco:
I'm not sure right now... MS2Ginger was my first pick to check ;)

Just been playing around, MS2G4 + soft unlock, no luck either. Will give cm7 a try, but i'm kind of afraid that it's the phone... :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] Andrea45:
I flashed MS2Ginger after I had wiped data, cache and dalvik cache with latest recovery on Nordic Stock, but I got stuck on the Motorola logo and I could only enter in RSD-mode, so I flashed the Stock... So, what's the problem with me?
[Defy Android Development] Hider141:
So from what I understand you had the stock Motorola ROM, that's right?

In this case you need to follow Walter's instructions:

If you want to install the MS2Ginger 5.0 then follow this link posted by Walter in the first post of this topic and make sure that the MD5 for the downloaded file is the same as the one in the link, with a program like MD5Check, to avoid unnecessary headaches.
[Defy Android Development] Andrea45:
So I have to flash the rom without wipe data and caches? This sounds a bit strange...
[Defy Android Development] Hider141:
From what I've seen prior of installing MS2Ginger the Aroma installer will format the necessary partitions, but I've wiped them befor installing the MS2Ginger zip.

I have a couple of questions for those who use MS2Ginger v5.0: did someone manage to find a fix for the CyanogenMod Settings and HDR Camera crashes?

I tried to search the thread for a solution, but I wasn't able to find any, maybe I didn't define the right search parameters.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
No fix for cm settings. Update hdr camera app via play store.
[Defy Android Development] chuckiebronco:
Regarding the Soft-Sim Unlock:

Finally got it working (on ms2g)! Just had to substitute the baseband. 100% working with EPU93_U_00.59.01

Hi walter79,

I'd like to test your v5 ROM with last RAMDISK file you uploaded (about charge only issue).

Do I have to decompress the ramdisk-adb.gz file or just rename it without decompression ?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
only rename it.

walter can u please post ur 2nd boot kernel as a flashable zip ?
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
Hi Walter! Thank you for your opinion...

I have tested several basebands but the problem persists.

The Defy+ reboots itself in the middle of voice calls, not always . Sometimes does reboot when I have data activated and I'm using the internet. But sometimes also restarts for no apparent reason...

I've tried other solutions, I changed the battery and memory card but nothing helped

Can anyone give more ideas? Are all welcome!

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] cyrusct82:
It's the RIL bug.

As MS2 Rom drives from stock the reboot is made automatically without notice.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Never had a ril bug on MS2Ginger.
[Defy Android Development] Fermas:
The problem is not the ROM, this MS2 V5 is great, the problem is in my phone... with stock GB 2.3.6 make same reboots.

Someone can help me? Is possible fix the RIL malfunction? :mad:

[Defy Android Development] bhupatib:
I'm switching over from CM7.2 and I have a noob question: does MS2Ginger has the blur data manager?

It was the only thing I liked about blur (in the stock CEE froyo ROM) and it worked great for me.

Please clarify.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Data manager is included.

4 Defy's, only one boots.

3 Red lens, 1 SOC.

The green lens sticks at the red light or will go to black screen, but home row initialization does not occur, then will boot loop endlessly.

2 of the Red lens do about the same thing, although by flashing a different GB kernel, will initialize the homerow, then black --> reboot.

The one that will boot sometimes sticks at red light, but boots right up after a battery pull.

My setup was:

Full Battery

Wipe

Flash TMobile US Froyo

Wifi on

Bluroff

Super One Click 2.3.3

2nd Init 2.0

Reboot

Wipe data and cache, Dalvik

install 5.0 zip

I think I can adb in, so I will see if I can get a kmesg.

BTW, slightly OT, that Cyanmobile on your DevHost is pretty awesome

[MENTION=264004]walter[/MENTION]

I just got my new DEFY+ (bl7) UK and I am about to Root it.

After rooting it I would like to install latest MS2G v5 right way, as I have been happy all time with your MS2G Roms, all of them, with my old DEFY Green lens.

Could you please tell me if any extra steps, than described OP, need for DEFY+ bl7 UK retail?

As I have read somewhere not every rom is compatible with this bl7 sbfs.

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
It's impressive how lacking is the knowledge of even the old habitants of these forums :silly:

The limitation of the bootloader version 7 is that there is no Froyo sbf available for it and therefore no Froyo kernel could be flashed onto it and therefore no ROMs for Froyo kernel could be used.

But this is only important for 2ndInit ROMs.

MS2Ginger v5 is a

2ndboot

ROM which means that it has a custom kernel that it boots and the kernel that is pre-contained on the phone is irrelevant. 2ndBoot ROMs can be used on any DEFY or DEFY+, no matter what it's bootloader version or original firmware version is. And, since 2ndBoot ROMs made all DEFY's eqal, yes, that means the steps are the same for everybody ;)

I hope that has cleared things up a bit for you :p
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Ok have ROOT (successfully)

Installed 2nd int. 2.0 (successfully)

Enabled "All modules" but only 3 Vesels present. As far as I know Defy+ should show 4 Vesels?

Backed up (successfully)

Installed MS2G v5 (successfully according to Aroma Installer)

Now stack on Moto logo. No Blue led to enter Boot Menu.

Have Wiped from Stock Recovery

Nothing change.

Red Moto logo?

Anyone could HELP, please!

Will give another go .

We`ll see what will happen

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

OK. Have managed on my own :)

Video 720p OK but seems the Sound is too low on the recorded file. Is that OK?

When I turn on the camera there is some strange noise (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) while turning on (at the beginning only). Is that normal behavior?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

OK. Now I have 4 Vesels :)

What is the safe values for overclock to 1.1 / 1.2 GHz?
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
The camera noise is normal :) It's just the sound of the sensor initializing, didn't your green lens defy make the same sound?

About the overclock... Start with high values and then lower them until you find what works for your CPU. (not every CPU is exactly the same) (I'm at 1.1ghz with 54vsel)
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Thanks niksy+ :)

My Green Lens never made such a noise. Not in any of the MS2G roms. I would not wonder about it if I had it before.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
That's weird :) Does the green lens camera sensor start up instantly?

My defy+ has always made the same noice (it's not "brrrr" as you described it, it's more like "ts ts tss" :) ) every time I started the cam ever since I bought the phone :cowboy:

P.S. You're welcome;)
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Yes it is more like you say it (about the noise).Could not find the right way to describe it.

With MS2G v5 starts quite quick but I am with FROYO Cam on my Green Lens. Avoiding Green Stripes in Pic.preview window.Now with native GB cam it opens instantly :) THANKS to Walter :)

I have received my new DEFY+ today and had no experience with nativ GB Rom.

Till now been with Green Lens as I bought it very firs day it become available in UK. More than 2 Years ago. There was little support from other developers, than Walter, for Green Lens Defys because of the GreenBreadMod.

I was holding on my Green Defy till Moto X available to jump up but it seems it will be some kind of a joke if what is reported came to be true.

Still holding my breath it come with better specs when unveiled.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Sorry, about the initial Cam noise!

It did not make it in Stock Rom nor in Root Chinese Rom as a have made some Vids and Pics to check how it shoots to compare.

Therefore I thought is related to 720p rec patch but probably Walter could bring some light about this :)
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
how did you managed it? because i always get stuck at the Moto Logo with my green Defy :( ?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Hmm actually I don't think all Defy+ make that noise. My green lens Defy doesn't, but my Defy+ does only after I started doing 'xda stuff' to it.

However the Defy+ of two of my friends doesn't make any noise even after I did 'xda stuff' for them.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Mine has always made the ts ts ts sound, be it xda stuff or stock:p
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Mine Defy+ is brand new (received yesterday).There was no noise with the Stock Sbf (UK Retail). There was no noise when Rooted it with the Taiwanese Rooted Sbf. But ones installed MS2G v5 there is a noise when Cam initiate. The same noise as it if in Burts mode. [MENTION=264004]walter[/MENTION] > Could you please bring some light about this if you know of course?

Tomorrow I will go back to Stock to check Cam again because it looks to me that the Pics itself are not as good as with my Froyo Cam.On my Defy Green I use GreenBread-2.3.6-4.5.3-109-DPP-11- ramdisk + blur cam and MS2G v3 and the pics are Crystal Clear, Vids too if you hold cam steady.Does anybody observe the quality of of Pics taken or is just me?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

If you come from CM10 / 10.1 format all partition ext3 first.Good idea to do it anyway.

You need to flash any GB rom first and after that flash MS2G v5. I did not worked for me when flashed directly over Stock Froyo freshly rooted.

But for Green Lens I strongly recommend v3 without Blur apps.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

check the difference of the pics taken in near the same condition.

1 and 2 are with Defy+ (MS2G v5), after that with Defy Green Lens (MS2G v3)
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
OK. Just installed MS2G v3 to my DEFY+. There is noise when cam initiale every time in all Roms. Went back to stock to confirm it. But PICs taken under MS2G v3 are definitely better than those from v5. Vids on 720p as well. Sounds in this Vids in both roms seems very low but it may be just me. I will upload TEST pics (now from DEFY+ MS2G v3) later on to compare. Cam starts almost instantly here.

Looks like it is smoother...
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Android 2.3.4 Launcher --> MS2Ginger use the Android 2.3.6 Launcher
[Defy Android Development] boonwuilow:
If i take the home.apk from that rom and placed it on MS2Ginger will it work?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
You have to test it by your own. Or post apk and a link for source.
[Defy Android Development] :
Hello Walter, do you remember some users having the non charging problem when the defy was completely out of battery or with the phone shut down?

Have you found any solution to this?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
maybe a update for /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ hbootuser and hboot.bin with latest cm10.1 files can help. Sorry but no time to test it.
[Defy Android Development] viper.:
Cant install it after cm10.1 it just wont boot. I have left it for 20 minits,repeated that twice . All was good, checked some option in aroma installer then restart and after that just Blank screen.

Any thoughts? I cant access stock recovery...
[Defy Android Development] :
This is due CM10.1 is ext 3 and msginger uses ext 4

From this point, your only option is to flash from sbf and start from 0 (root, sndinit and then install msginger it will work)

[MENTION=264004]walter[/MENTION] small doubt, I felt that the torch is very low compared to cm7 or cm10

so I searched and I found these are the values to be changed

ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=41

ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=25

what you reccomend me to put? I've put 45 and photos are much better under the same conditions and flash looks brighter, you reccomend me other values or changing other parts from build prop?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Can you access Custom Recovery?

Wrong. CM 10.1 is ext4, if anything you got it backwards. And also, if you can access Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP) then you don't always need to flash an SBF. If the file system format is in fact your problem, then in the Boot Menu there's an option for formatting Data/Cache to EXT3. You can either use that or you can use the Aroma Wiper, which is a lot faster too, and even comes with instructions.
[Defy Android Development] viper.:
yeah i can access custom recovery. And i did wipe data and cache i have wiped the dalvik cache too.

will try to format it to ext3 or new sbf ..

What do you suggest ,should i stay with 2.2 CEE or should i go to another sbf ?
[Defy Android Development] :
I upgraded to DFL_U3_4.5.2_51-50_SIGNED_USADEFYB25RETLALA007.0R_STABLE45LADEFYRETLA_P008_A014_M001_HWp3_Service1FF and I have no problems at all

before I had JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF and It gave problems (such as in msginger it didnt charge correctly, many bootloops and so, maybe it has nothing to do but I had 0 in any rom since I changed to 4.5.2

How does multitasking work on msginger 5.0? If I close an application (lets say web browser, it automatically hibernates?) or it has to pass a time, or just the process can be deleted by restarting the phone?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
If I were you I'd try formatting to EXT3 first, and then reboot and see if it boots up. You can do that from the Boot Menu like I commented earlier.

Actually, if I were you, I'd even skip that step and go straight to the Aroma Wiper and do it all over again, just to be sure. Flash the Aroma Wiper, and it will open up the options. Select the option to Format to EXT3, and wipe System/Data/Cache, all three, and DO NOT REBOOT. Once it's done, just go back and flash the ROM right away.

If you want you can change SBFs, but I wouldn't do it unless there's actually a problem with the partitions. When you flash a ROM it will erase, or should erase, better said, everything in the /system partition anyway, so regarding that, it doesn't really matter which SBF you're on. All the other SMG files of the SBF are the same (as far as I know), except for one of them that contains the radio files which should be specific to the region that the phone was manufactured for. If I'm wrong someone correct me.

I've learned from observation that I get better battery life and signal reception when I use an SBF that was made for a same region that uses the frequencies used in my region. It could have just been placebo or other factors, but it's what I've observed. Then again, the radio files also get replaced when changing the basebands; maybe I've just been deceiving myself all this time! :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
MS2Ginger use lower settings for torch because some users (like me) killed the flash light on soc device.

MS2Ginger use ext3 for all partitions and not ext4. Thats why you have to wipe with motorola recovery cache and data if you flash from cm10.x
[Defy Android Development] viper.:
Did you killed your flash while it was on for long time or you ve got it killed beacuse MS2ginger is using china rom as base?

Why you havent switched to some other kernel(rom) from EU or USA if the china rom is killing flashes?

Are there any difference between flashes on SOC or Bayer devices? Like Bayer can use more voltage on the flash? Or its all the same ..

:confused:

I am using my flash light very often for biking at night , so i really want to know that .

P.S. Flashed some 4.5.1 SBF ,then MS2ginger and it works .
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
2 times using flash light with old froyo china rom killed the flash led.

(it was max. 2s switched on)

Use our flash lights settings they protect your defy. You can change it by your own. But it is your risk.
