MS2Ginger 2.0 Lite for red lens

Hi Walter79,

I'm really love your Rom but today I want to install your old Rom. I mean MS2Ginger 2.0 Lite (Chinese rom base), can you give me link to download it. Thanks
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
I made some progress.. I installed CWM 5.0.3.4, and now when I select MS2Ginger4.0 backup folder from advanced restore, I see "restore boot" option.

but I don't think that is enough.. don't I need to restore system also? btw I tried restoring boot, it worked, but then when I reboot the system I get to stock GB rom :(

can't believe nobody with defy+ bl7 can help me suggesting the steps he did! :(

also, why you did not make a cwm flashable zip like all the other roms? that would make the installation much easier.. :confused::silly::D

guys please I don't now how to proceed I think I made everything correct following the steps in OP.. I even tried redownloading the ms2ginger4 zip and also tried installinf 2nd init 2.0 instead 2.3 but nothing changed..
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Just suggestion!

May be worth to start from Installing MS2G 3.0 first and after that to go for MS2G 4.0 with "Install System only" option from within Advance Restore within MS2G3.0

First time MS2G4.0 was available these were the steps for Upgrade to from MS2G3.0. and I have followed after that many times have tried different ROMs but come to MS2G4.0 after direct install from clean FROYO BUT I am with MB525 BL4 and do not know about yours.

[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks I tried.. but same problem. I mean, I downloaded and uncompressed MS2Ginger3.0Lite to the clockwork backup folder. then after rebooting in CWM, if I go to advanced restore, I find the ms2ginger3 folder, if I enter the folder, I can't recover anything, I just see empty dashes and the go back option.. I'm getting crazy..
[Defy Android Development] danielgava:
Re: [ROM][GB][2012.08.21]MS2Ginger, 720p, panorama - 2nd-system, multiboot,softsimunl

Mate, the problem is that you shouldn't uncompress the file. The CWM flashes the ZIP file!

Edit: sorry, the Rom must be uncompressed. What shouldn't is the greenbreadmod.

[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Could you try to UNZip on PC first, Check if all files inside are present and correct, THAN copy UNZiped folder to CWM.

It has happened to me ones as the ZIP folder contained A folder and INTO this folder was the actual ROM folder and CWM could not see it through two folders.

Similar to this > MS2G4.zip>MS2G (folder)>MS2G (foder with the ROM inside) !!!!!

So you copy to CWM ONLY the folder with the ROM in it.

Good luck :)

help with installation

can anyone please help with installation, i am currently running CM10 on defy red lens with gingerbread kernel... when i restore MS2Ginger, it goes into bootloop. I flashed Cm10 again and everything works fine, i tried MS2Ginger again after wiping data, still gets into a bootloop. Any particular steps i should be following?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
AW: [ROM][GB][2012.08.21]MS2Ginger, 720p, panorama - 2nd-system, multiboot,softsimunl

Did you wiped data and cache.

Read install instructions.

[Defy Android Development] sa3e1:
Re: [ROM][GB][2012.08.21]MS2Ginger, 720p, panorama - 2nd-system, multiboot,softsimunl

Did you use CM10 2nd boot version? Did you set data back to ext3? 2nd boot version of CM10 sets data partition to ext4, in order to go to an other rom, you have to set it back in CWM.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks a lot that was the problem! I checked before if all files were inside, correct dimensions etc but didn't think the folder inside folder could be a problem! now I see "restore system", thank you very much ;)

unfortunately I saw your reply yesterday after I had just finished restoring my previous cm10 build, settings app etc :( so I will wait some time now before trying ms2ginger.. don't feel like wiping and reconfiguring all again now :(

one question.. on defy+, ms2ginger4 + defy+battery fix are the only things I need to install right? and maybe gapps, but that's all? and do you know if 720p recording will work out of the box with ms2ginger4 or I have to install some other things to get that to work?

thank you again my friend ;)
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Happy to hear this :)

I am with green lens SO no idea about 720p recording, but I have read all the post here, as I am with this ROM since beginning ( all versions), and it is to my understanding THAT 720p rec. is "out of the box" for RED Lens Defys and RED Lens Defys need battery patch as well although it may be only for DEFY+ sets.

Most of DEFY RED (+) user have already migrated to CM9 or 10 therefore may be no answers to your question from such an users.

P.S. NO Gapps needed for this ROM BUT BLUR patch if you are fan of MOTOROLA BLUR UI service.
[Defy Android Development] pachuau86:
Thanks for the reply walter79, I think i wiped data but not cache, i will give it a go again. Do i need to flash the kernel or can i just use the Gingerbread kernel that i used for cm10? BTW, my CWM is version 5.0.6 (i think) and you said that it needs 5.0.3 do i need to downgrade or is the higher version ok? sorry for all the noob questions and thanks for your help.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks a lot for your help ;)

I accomplished in installing ms2ginger4.. couldn't wait to try it actually :)

it seems 720p recording works OOB, I mean it is selected by default in camera and acquisition works fine (just a little slow/lagging the preview on the screen but then when playing the video it is fine).

now I will play a little with it :)

just one thing, HDR camera runs but everytime I shoot a picture it crashes.. is that a known bug?

btw thanks again byeeee

EDIT: after a search I see HDR and CM settings crashes are a known bug.. I tried to add "ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality = 100" in build.prop as read here somewhere but didn't work.. some others suggested to update the app from the market.. but I can't update it it says that my MB526 is not supported.. anyone can share the latest HDR app .apk that is working fine please? thanks!
[Defy Android Development] nggies:
Walter79, can you help me link for MS2Ginger 2.0 Lite. thanks
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
the rom is working great a part from some know bugs.. thanks walter79 for your work!

(even if I think you don't like me so much as you have never replied my questions :D )
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
only 1% battery drop in 8 hours of airplane mode last night.. amazing! :)

one thing.. reading the thread I see overclock may be a cause of some FC's.. I have never enabled OC by myself in the Defy, so I don't think it is enabled here.. but in bootmenu I see inside CPU settings:

..does this mean OC is enabled here? if yes, to turn it off, what should I disable exactly?

thanks in advance guys and sorry for asking

ah.. just a couple of things.. what I really miss in this rom is the screenshot built-in feature and the possibility to change track with a long-press of the volume buttons while the phone is in standby.. what app do you use to make screenshots? i couldn't find a good and free one in play store.. only purchasable :( and it is not possible in any way to enable the songs skip with volume buttons? (I enabled the relevant option in CM settings > input settings but it doesn't seem to work.. :( )

thanks!!

Hi.

I have extreme lag making phone calls. When I press the call button on dialer, somethimes it calls instantly and most of times it doesn't call. I have to wait 15 or 20 seconds after the first tap to make the call.

The "same" problem occurs when I receive a call when the phone is locked and the screen doesn't wake up until 10 seconds.

Any workaround?

Thanks.

Hi Walter79,

I have some questions :P

Which features can we expect with this kernel?

The same like quarx or something new like liveoc?

Is it the first boot of your kernel or stable and ready to release?

And whats about the CM features , are they Working? (The last ms2ginger i tried is a long time ago)

Thanks in advance :)

Excellent news, walter!! I suggest you include tweaks and fixes from JellyX, the boosted performance of the phone with JellyX compared to the same ROM with Quarx's unmodded kernel is VERY noticeable!

Anyways, will certainly test the new MS2Ginger :) Thumbs up!

Kernel seems stable.

No good news for CM features.

I got a message which says: Defy Multiboot-error...

Btw: the ZIP is the attached one or the 101 MB source?
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Well that means the recovery needs to be updated I think first..... The zip is fine the 101mb source is what is used to compile the kernel ;)......

One question walter is this a hydrid solution like Eppy's where you can use the either the stock kernel or the custom kernel or is it just the custom kernel (2nd boot) like in JB??

Hi Walter,

I have a Bayer red lens Defy; I flashed the rom with the 4.5.3-109-DPP-11 kernel and it is pretty ok but I found some problems.

1. Some applications (CM-Settings, HDR Camera) gives FC and some menus in the settings are empty (they don't open if I touch on it);

2. When I unlock the screen pressing the power button the animation makes a double "flash" that there isn't when I lock the screen;

3. During the HD video recording the view on the screen is very lagging (and annoying). When I watch the recorded video it isn't lagging like during the recording but it isn't smooth as the video recorded with Froyo stock rom are;

4. Even if I flashed the Chinese font fix zip the bug is still remaning;

5. With the automatic brightness sometimes it has some little drops and immediately after a rise;

6. Often the animations between the menus are not showed.

I tried to reflash the fix for point 4 and wipe caches for the other points but this doesn't help.

How to solve these little problems that make me prefer the Froyo stock rom?

Thank you in advance. ;)
