Hi guys whats up

First thank you for all this hardwork for everyone who was involved. I am very new to this so i am having some difficulties, i followed walter's steps one by one and i have MSginger 2.1 now i like it a lot thank you so much.

but i have some problems first i dont know how to add things on top of it like id like the arabic language patch how can i install that exactly? i am sure i have to reboot press vol down button etc but any more details? i dont know how to add patches or adjustments etc over the android that i just installed.

i am having some problems with Wifi it keeps scanning and disconnecting very fast also camera forces close, no live wallpapers (i have the green lens), mmm battery drains tooo fast (i calibrated like walter said), no 720p (only vga)..any help in that? if i have green lens then no live wallpapers?

Also mine is tmobile, my 3g needs a special fix?

Thank you lads, any reply from any of you who are able to help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

edit build.prop with root explorer, include line

Does the camera button work on milestone 2
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
Green lens does not record in 720p -

You installed the backup to green lens?

For you install the patches, go to: Reboot / light blue -> button - / recovery / custom recovery / install zip from sdcard - to make sure the file to be installed must be in. Zip and the root of the memory card -

As for problems with wifi, channel your router uses which frequency? Try changing the channel, delete all the names that appear in "Apn names" and restart and see if it works.

I followed instructions for 2.1 green lens, and it booted and all nice, but after flashing fixed sbf i get a frozen red M logo; any ideas?

Ok i restored all with clockworkmod; and i can boot, but i still have the 2.6.32.9 kernel; can't i install the new one ? i guess the kernel is in fixed sbf but it gave me a frozen phone.
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:

I dont know how to do it though, like what to edit and where and how.

LED flash bug.

Before taking photo, flash white light, turns weak green when taking photo.(Red/golden len)

Always white-green.

720P video record works well.

Add: Flash bug seems only take place on ME525

:(Bad thing：When i get back to CN Froyo, LED flash becomes weaker and weaker, it's dead & useless.

Is it the same reason that ever happened early this year？
[Defy Android Development] Cristi_10:

Did you LED work on Gingerbread again?

If somebody have time to help me translate framework-res.apk, blur-res.apk, moto-res.apk, settings.apk please sent me a PM.
[Defy Android Development] SteveChou:
not work well on 2.3, so i back to 2.2,and the flash become weaker and weaker.

Now the brightness is just stronger than the LED near the earpiece!

In fact, there are some guys have the same problems in Chinese Forum.

So Chinese DEFYer, attention.

devtree problem?
[Defy Android Development] SteveChou:
totally green.

well go to sleep and spare time go to MOTO service.

I think it’s the fixed SBF making LED dead.

Maybe CN DEFY shouldn't flash the SBF, only Image.

Hi Walter sorry for bothering you but I thought about putting everything in one post maybe to make things easier? here are my questions let me know if can help me in this.

1-all my installed apps shows in SD in the app manager eventhough my sd is not even inside.

2-I can open as txt but not txt editor and i need it to tweak something in root explorer to fix the camera as it is forcing close everytime

3-battery drains too fast is that normal?

4-3d effects available? or i have to sacrifice something else to have them?

5- no shot at 720p ever?

6-any way to get arabic on the msginger 2.1?

7-no hope for live wallpapers?

8-Can i put my tmobile 3g back again?

I know they are a lot of qs but most of them are too short to answer! sorry for bothering you boss

[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I really think it is, indeed! Props to Walter and devs!
[Defy Android Development] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
First of all, when you open /system, you need to change the mount in order to be able to edit. By default /system is mounted as r/o (read only). You need to click the "Mount r/w" button (see picture) in order to be able to read and write. When you do, press on build.prop file and hold till you get the menu, then select "Open in editor" (it's not visible at first - you need to scroll down - see pic. 2)

And no, you can not record 720p with green lense. 720p is only for red lenses.
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
What are the differences between 2.0 lite and 2.1 ?

I installed both step by step, even with fixed SBF and i keep seeing the old kernel; 2.6.32-9; how do i install the latest?

thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
In my opinion the main differences are:

Lite Version X MS2Ginger

CallRec button X no button callrec

without Blur apps X Full Blur apps and sync

ADW launcher X Blur home launcher

no buttons in statusbar X many new buttons functions in statusbar

no power menu X new power menu

2.0 no patch fixes X 2.0 + all patches fixes by Walter(many)

Both are the best ROM's for Defy today.

[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
I finally managed to get this ROM installed on my green lens Defy :) For some reason the new bootloader/ClockworkMod did not work well with my previous ROM (walter79's Defy+ 2.3.4-134 DFP 74, blur, 720p,panorama, 1%). I finally succeeded by restoring a stock Froyo nandroid and working forward from there.

So far this ROM is looking pretty good, now that I've got it looking more or less the way I like. I've installed Zeam launcher, and I don't like the dark notification bar or the battery icon so I cooked myself some new ones in the UOT Kitchen. I also installed Swype. Is there any reason it wasn't in the ROM by default?

Those things are just personal choice, though. The next real test will be see what the battery life is like with this ROM. My previous one was very good, much better than the stock Froyo.

There's a couple of other cosmetic things that I'd welcome any suggestions about:

The buttons at the top of the pull-down notification area: is there any way to select which buttons are available - or even turn them off altogether?

Is there any way to get the light-coloured keyboard like walter79's other ROM had? I much prefer it to the dark coloured one in this ROM. See below for examples of what I mean:

One final thing: it doesn't seem to be possible to turn off SD card notifications. Unchecking the tickbox in Settings/Sounds doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?

Showstopper

The file "Milestone2-4.5.3-109fixed-sbf" only have 18Mb when used, will not boot, stops at a black screen, need to use "fixed_sbf_newleak.sbf" of 34Mb. Is this normal?
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
To edit files, when you enter the "RootExplorer" you have to change to "r / w" and then to edit files, you have to hold clicked the file and scroll down to the "open in text editor" and then edit. You do not need root, because the ROM is already rooted. If you are trying to install or change an app, change the pemissions, using the same method, but instead of "open text editor" use "permissions" and change the permissions of the new app to "rw - r - r". I hope I have helped him.
[Defy Android Development] Motodoido:

@Cassinander

Hi Cassinander i understand what you mean but my problem is one step ahead of you. it is already rooted indeed but i cannot make it read and write even if i press on it:( i dont have open with text editor i have open with text only. i cant edit system files i dont know why. everytime i press on r/w it doesnt work it stays read. thats the case with all other explorers like root explorer. it is like it was not rooted but it was!

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

after i choose r/w on system files it works before i go inside the system file. when i am inside i keep pressing remount as r/w but it stays on r/o :

/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 (r/o)
[Defy Android Development] dtevegas:
walter, can you do a showprogress/ui_print as step 1 - or are you certain the fail is on the :

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");

line? as i'm sure you can see, the log doesn't show much!

eg from a desire kernel update script:

ui_print("AnyKernel Updater by Koush.");

ui_print("Extracting System Files...");

set_progress(1.000000);

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

can you paste in a 'df -h' from terminal...
[Defy Android Development] rubjonny:
I have this from time to time, go into settings -> applications -> manage apps, find market then tap force stop and clear data.

then the next time it loads after a while it should populate all the installed applications. I also find that if you manually search and find your applications in the market, once you click on it then it will show as installed and allow you to update if any updates are available. that kicks them into the my apps panel if they're really stubborn
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Try a different approach:

Save a copy of the file on to your SD card

Edit the copy on the SD card

Mount the system partition r/w

Rename the file in the system partition to something eg xxx.old so you have a backup

Copy the edited file across from the SD card

Set the correct permissions on the edited version of the file

Safer than editing the file in place as well since you can keep a backup copy.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Script works. Setting permission works too. Mounting isn't the problem --> Bootmenu is working. Log shows problem with mout-ext3.sh problem.

edit: /system/bin/mot_boot_mode is the problem missing sysmlink to mot_boot_mode1 this enabled init.d support.

edit2: wrong permissions mot_boot_mode is a script.
