Hi! And thanks for the answer! The thing is that already installed ms2ginger 2.1, but I didn't have any nandroid backup of miui rom, so if I want to go back, how should i do it?? By doing a full wipe and installing the miui zip by recovery will work?? Or will I end on a bootloop?

And one more thing, I installed the kernel update via recovery (4. 5.2-109_DHT-22 kernel. Zip) , but I saw that there is another one a little bit down on the same first post named 4.5.3_109fixed-sbf-via-updates. Zip and I don't know if I should install this file or not... I mean both files I mentioned before, are both kernels updates?? What is the difference between those two?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
ok....i'll try my best to answer all your questions. you see i've installed ms2ginger 2.1 before but not the lite 2.0.

first, yes, if you don't have a miui nandroid backup, then just wipe and flash the miui zip in recovery. the miui zip comes with everything, including kernel, to boot up.

the 4.5.2-109_dht-22 kernel.zip as it's name suggested is a file for updating just the kernel, whereas the 4.5.3_109fixed-sbf-via-update.zip is a fixed sbf which you flash when you have the cg version type issues, like if you were to flash the lite 2.0. i'm not too good in explaining this but i'll try....(perhaps someone else can chip in and answer that for us?)

ms2ginger 2.1 is based on gb 2.3.4 which has cg version 5, whereas ms2ginger lite 2.0 is based on 2.3.6 and has cg version of 6. that's why if you flash lite 2.0 you need to flash the fixed sbf otherwise you'll get a black screen and won't boot (as mentioned in the instructions in the first post).

so hopefully someone else can help to explain better, but at this point you don't need to worry about the fixed sbf.

Oye hero.. your rom is awesome for daily use.. one thing.. I had been to a good long trip for goa.. and I didnt get even a call or msg nor didnt have time to look into my mob, I guess my mob was in DSM for around 8 to 10 hrs and when I tried to bring it up pressing the power up key but the disp was not even coming up only the keypad lights... this happened many times, Also I face a lot of issues with dialler.. I do a call continiously again and again it just doesnt dial but after few min the dialer slowly picks up the previously tried dial and it hangs.. I can try to get you the kernel patch logs or logcat or traces.txt let me know if it helps.

Hi Walter79!

Just one question, I'm on ms2ginger 2.1 red lens defy, awesome ROM by the way!

But when you say this on the first post about installing the new test ROM:

(Install: --> WIPE data and cache --> advance restore --> system only --> optional flash 4.5.3-109 kernel)

When you say do a wipe data and cache, do you mean to make a factory/data reset wipe and a cache wipe on stable recovery? Will I lose all my data by doing this? Or just doing a wipe cache and dalvik cache without doing the factory or data wipe will work anyway?

And about the optional kernel (4.5.3-109) you suggest to install, which one is exactly the file I should install? The one that says

"4.5.3-109fixed-sbf-via-update.zip" on first post?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
Hello motodoido. Test 4 is the Rom oficial da Tim-BR for Milestone2 2.3.6.

Very Good- No(nothing) F.C. in Networking apps and messages universal, Phone and data ok, Wifi good, camera and camcorder ok . But just no FMRadio (still) :( .

#cammel, can you install 4.5.3-109.... fixed.sbf(via RSD) or also 4.5.3.109....zip(via CWM). 2 are same think, more duration battery that kernel X.X.2.... ;)
[Defy Android Development] cammel:
Great! Thanks for the answer!

But if I install kernel 4.5.3-109 and this new test ROM 4 based on milestone 2.3.6 Brazil then I can't go back to MIUI unless I flash nordic, cee or another froyo sbf via Rsdlite, isn't it? Or I can still go back to MIUI just by doing a full wipe and then flashing MIUI zip on recovery? And the last one...should I do a data/factory reset before upgrading from ms2ginger 2.1 to this new test ROM #4?

Thanks a lot! !

Enviado desde mi DROIDX usando Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
You will have back to any Froyo 2.2.X for install MIUI. I believe(still not test it) that same if dont flash kernel, you will have back Froyo. For me, dont work just wipe full and flash zip CM7 when i did.
[Defy Android Development] cammel:
Ok, So when you tried to go back to cm7 being on this latest test ROM 4, you had to flash froyo via Rsdlite, root, install 2ndinit, and do all the process from the start?

Thanks!

Could someone please tell me if I have to do a full data/factory reset wipe before installing this test ROM #4 coming from ms2ginger 2.1 or just with a cache and dalvik cache wipe will work? Thanks!

Enviado desde mi DROIDX usando Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
I think ever better "reset all" in system for diferents base Rom's. I ever do all process since start, time is +/- 25 minutes... or 5 minutes and bootloops and bugs and FC's after ;)

I test the two. test 4 is better, her is stable in everything, no FC, no bugs, and (just) no FMRadio too :( .

Edit: can be just cache and dalvik(because same base = MS2) but if you have much FC in test 4, do full wipe(data and cache).

Hi Walters... great roms!

But I've been wondering what's the benefit of using Milestone's gingerbread rom over Defy own customised gingerbread rom here, specially start from those V3.0(Test 1, 2 ,3 ,4).

I have a question, I wonder if one can answer:

There is a noticable difference between MS2ginger2.1 HD video capture and newer test roms: In newer versions, far objects are blurred:(

Is there any option to correct this problem? Or is there a way to port the camcorder from V2.1 to newer roms? I tried replacing Blurcamera.apk with no success:(

I just hope someone answer my qustion. Thank in advance

[Defy Android Development] leonardomdc:
I took a look around and couldn't find an answer...

I've been using MS2Ginger for a while, but lately it has been sucking hard on my battery (with few apps installed), and I went back to MIUI (which had gave me good battery time in the past) to see if the problem continues.

But what I really want: I simply loved the built-in camera app and its panorama resource. Is it there a way for me to use it with other roms (miui/cm7)?

Would it work if I made a backup of the camera app with TitaniumBkp in the MS2Ginger and then restore it in a different ROM?

btw, I've got red lens.
[Defy Android Development] barf99:
Have red lens Defy running v3.0 test 2.

Wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache, went to advanced restore and restored system from test 4.

Make it past the M logo, but then constant loop in boot animation.

Tried it twice and also tried enabling/disabling all module and increasing vsel levels, installed 4.5.3-109fixed-sbf-via-update.zip but still had the same result of stuck in boot animation.

Did advance restore of system only from my nandroid backup running test 2 in order to recover.

Am I missing something here? Would like to try test 4.
[Defy Android Development] wafeeq:
I had this problem, increase vsel to 1000 / 56 in boot menu, this should do it

Default levels after system restore of Test 4 were (going by memory):

600 @ 30

800 @ 40

I think I increased all of mine up by 10 but still stuck in boot animation.

What did you set yours to?

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Hey Walter how are you doing?

I meant to ask you this for a while now [sorry if that has been asked/answered before; I haven't read this whole thread yet...]:

It's regarding the following tweak from the OP:

23.11.11 - MS2Ginger 2.1 and Lite 2.0 3d performance update !! only red and defy+ !!

Would that also work on CM7-Defy+ (GB based) nightly? I did install it anyway and did not notice any drawback or improvement. But I've never really done benchmarks either..

But what's is your take on this? Worth keeping or you expect it to be useless in this case?

Edit:

Also, do you know what would be the best way to test the difference (if any)? Quadrant benchmark or any other?

Thanks a lot.

/AL

And sorry if this is a little off-topic on this thread ;)

And btw, I've just tested that Atrix camera on that Defy+ nightly (in conjunction with the overlay.omap3.so from MS2Ginger) and it does work and yes, seems a little more responsive than the CM7 one. So thanks a bunch for that!!

Last edit: scrap the above about the Atrix camera on CM7 Defy+; it didn't work and I did a booboo while replacing the apk in system/app folder.

But I'm still really interested in testing the effect of the performance tweak though...

Thanks again
