04.12.11 - MS2Ginger ALL SSL certificates update --> http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1375992
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
So if we update to this kernel: 04.12.11 - MS2Ginger 2.1 and Lite 2.0 DEFY red and DEFY+ kernel update - from 4.5.2-109 DHT-22

we don't have to do this patch? 04.12.11 - MS2Ginger ALL SSL certificates update
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
The kernel patch did not include the ssl update because green lens user can not update kernel.

Walter,

I'd updated the kernel(4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel) and the immediate impression is booting into home screen is sort of quicker and smoother. Will monitor this kernal for another 24 hours to see if it any better. Thanks

I assume the ssl update is mainly tergeted on security matter??

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] NITRO_100:

Hmmm...Strange thing happened.

I installed MS2Ginger2.1 with all updates and patches (even kernel update) and now I can't install this app: https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5saXRldXAuY2FsaWJyYXRlYmF0dGVyeSJd

Hello guys, can I ask: Does firmware MS2Ginger 2.1 have Russia/Russian language locale?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
For MS2GINGER 2.2 i need our help if YOU can help to improve tranlation for all apps + framework please wrote me a PM. We need to add better language values to the apps. I only need the translations. We have to translate ~ 80 APPS and 4 frameworks.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Walter, I have a suggestion for those that use green lens: can you make a patch to replace photo.apk with the one from Froyo with all its dependencies and settings. I mean, the patch should replace the camera settings too, for example the panorama mode will disapear.

The blurcamera for red lens is too buggy and slow (slow open). Often, it cannot be closed by pressing back button and when it's posible there is a FC. Also, when a picture/video is taken, the preview is green striped. Just changing the camera.apk with the one from Gingerbread doesn't resolve the incompatibility with the others dependencies (Panorama mode is there but it doesn't work properly, the photo/video preview is not correct placed and other settings.

Your Rom is great for red lens. I only have complains with camera because I use green lens.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I have no green lens defy. I can`t test it. But you can try blurcamera.apk from old greenbread mod. (unzip the mod.zip) For the next release i can disable panorama. You can do this by editing your build.prop. search for panorama=1 and change it to 0.
[Defy Android Development] szabof1:
Hi walter79,

I and my mates form our Defy and Defy+ forums are ready to make the Hungarian translations for MS2Ginger 2.2.

What would the framework be? How would we get the text and in what form should we send the translation back to you?

Deadlines?
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
well, it seems to be easy disabling panorama mode. In this case, the only problem that remains is that of the wrong position of photo/video preview. Its is positioned to much to the left and down. I'll try to manage it somehow. If you have any idea please tell me. Danke
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
When you used Froyo, have you observed automatically update using Go Launcher? When I used Launcher Pro, they didn't work. Only with blur launcher.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Do u mean GoSms widget?

I have problems with that one wen new sms arrives (No new sms text still stays behind sms text).

I think this is more Go problem than MS2Ginger.
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:

[Defy Android Development] :
People who updated, what's your current Vsel settings?

It could be different from «undervolted (30/300 38/600 48/800 58/1000)», editing could change battery usage. Just guessing.
[Defy Android Development] Mayguy:
how can we know and change that? vsel setting? my battery is dieing in some hours only

HOW TO TRANSLATE for MS2GINGER

@ translation team: Please divides the different APPs in our translation group. PMs can used for the coordination.

Deadline: 18.11.2011 8pm gmt+1

Download file-to-translate.zip View attachment File-to-translate.zip

Download notepad++ --> http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

unzip

you will find a lot of folder

first check the sample folder "00Sample"

/00Sample/res/value

you will find the stings.xml , arrays.xml , plurals.xml (some folders have only stings.xml or strings.xml + arrays.xml or stings.xml + plurals.xml) all other xml can be ignored

go back to /00Sample/res/

here you can see folders like values-de, values-af (de and af = language)

Start translation by copy create a new folder /"APP"/res/value-de (sample for german, pl = polish , pt-rBr = Brazillian Portuguese , hu = hungarian , sr = serbian .... ')

10. copy strings.xml, plurals.xml , arrays.xml from /"APP"/res/value to your new values folder

open stings.xml (plurals.xml, arrays.xml) with notepad++

start translation

After finishing your sent me a PM and post a zip file with all translation at xda-developers.com defy MS2Ginger thread.

BIG THANKS

Sample:

original = german:

/"APP"/res/value/strings.xml

<string name="read_perm_label">In Gmail lesen</string>

translation to english:

/"APP"/res/values-en/strings.xml

<string name="read_perm_label">read with Gmail</string>

for translation to en-US

/"APP"/res/values-en-rUS/strings.xml

@mrolp

Thanks man i downloaded the setvsel application but I dont understand most of the things in it. do you know how can i make the batter last plus same time have a good performance?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] :
You could start by setting Vsel and frequency to «undervolted (30/300 38/600 48/800 58/1000)» (as stated in the first post of this thread), I had this with good performance and stable.

If you want to risk more, there is a thread where people share experience about extreme Vsel settings for Defy: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063537.

Hi Team!! Thanks a lot for nice ROM.

couple of suggestions which I miss from CM7 ROM.

2. I use volume rocker to change the tracks (long press) while driving on my bike. I would love to have that feature as well.

Restore old kernel from nandroid backup. And report if you have problems with your class 10 card.
[Defy Android Development] darshanonline:
how to restore it from nandroid ?
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Best place would be from a Titanium Backup, you should be able to restore it from that. I've just tried that with a Titanium Backup of CarDock 1.0 and it seems to work OK.

If you don't have a Titanium Backup then you could try to extract the .apk from a nandroid backup and install as below.

Use root explorer to put the .apk in system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
[Defy Android Development] :
I've attached three benchmarks (@1GHz) made with different programs. I've installed all updates and new kernel.

PS: When running Quadrant Advanced (2047), some textures are grey.

PS2: 1931 for Quadrant Standard, and 2401 for AnTuTu.

EDIT:

Maybe a battery benchmark between v2.0 and new v2.1 could help.

Is there a simple way to downgrade just for the benchmark, without going back to Android 2.2?
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Try the camera .apk that walter linked in post #1828. This works well on my green lens Defy. It even has the capability to select the focus point which the one in the ROM didn't seem to have (or at least it didn't work on my green lens camera). Be careful with camcorder mode, though - the default setting seems to be WVGA but it doesn't work, you need to set it to VGA.

The panorama setting in build.prop doesn't seem to make any difference with this camera application. I suspect it isn't capable of panorama in the first place, hence the setting makes no odds.
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
I prefer use english ), but i have friend who don't know En, so this is why I ask).

The question is - is Ru locale (which could be improved )) ) already exists @firmware - so should i suggest MS firmware or that person better stick with CM7.1 (It have Ru, but locale translation far below 'acceptable' /for me, at least))/). The point is - CM7.1 still have "experimenty" feeling, so more featured and defy-friendly MS should be preferable /as i expect/ if both firmwares have about equal Ru translations.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I add ru language only for framework-res.apk based on CM7. But MS2Ginger needs more translation for all apps.
[Defy Android Development] pigsan:

[Defy Android Development] darshanonline:

So, what h... means the quadrant result? If you got high score your cel its the best?! For me, one good system do not freeze, have a long battery life and do everything what I need...
[Defy Android Development] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
I'm using Norton Mobile Security from Market and am very pleased. It's free, it's light, gives me a lot of info, regarding CPU, RAM, Running processes, battery life, usage and temperature and so much more... It has a nice widget that I've put on my main screen and with the click of a button, it kills the running processes and informs me about the memory freed, phone calls duration, SMS sent/recieved... Bottom line - I love it.

Wipe data/cache and dalvik (don't know if this is mandatory, but I do it) and flash 2.0 through CWM.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Ty for your answer dude.

This is just what I wanted on my phone :D

I tried ATK but it just doesn't kill any app on Ginger. I assume that taskmanager is just perfect nowadays :D

So I need apk that shows me all the info u said. Ill give this Norton a try.

And does it spend a lot of battery?

How about your battery life on MS2Ginger2.1?

Have u flashed the new kernel from 4.12?
[Defy Android Development] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Nope, no battery leak or anything. Battery life is as usual - 2 days with wifi ON 24/7, regular calls, no games or SMS.

Nope. Asked a question earlier what are the benefits of the new kernel - what is improved and what should we expect after flashing it, why should we and what difference are we going to notice, but never got an answer to those ?'s, so I didn't flash it, as I don't like flashing random SW just because it is "newer". Before I do, I want to be convinced that I really should. :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I will do some test with the 4.5.1-134 DFP-132 build. Maybe it will be the next baserom.

I will only use the /system not the kernel or bootloader.

If it work we have Android 2.3.6 with 4.5.2-109-DHT 22 kernel (Android 2.3.6) devtree and recovery are still based of 2.3.4 rom (4.5.2-109-DHT17)
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
Ok...So maybe that new kernel is causing battery leaking, cause before all this, when I installed MS2Ginger2.1 with flashing fixed sbf through RSDlite, I had almost 3 days of battery life. And now, installed it with "new" method and flashed new kernel and I have, if Im lucky, 1.5 days of battery life.

So Ill test battery life with this new kernel for few more days and if it is still bad, Ill just do fresh installation of MS2Ginger2.1 without new kernel :D

Tnx dude.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
For me battery life was better with the new kernel. You have to recalibrate your battery after updating kernel. Android boot is faster.
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I know...I did recalibrate it.

I will try one more time as I said. Ill use different calibration apk.
[Defy Android Development] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
OK, now that convinced me that I should at least give it a try and installed the new kernel. I saw immediate improvement in memory usage - take a look at first screenshot - memory used is under 300 MB. Compared to the screenshot from earlier tonight, where used memory was over 400 MB, it is an obvious over 25% improvement. The problem is that I installed both 3D fix and new kernel at the same time, so I am not sure which one did the trick freeing memory... maybe Walter could answer?

One more thing. Comparing again screenshots of before and after, it is obvious that kernel has been changed (screenshot 3). Question is, why does ID still state "4.5.2-109_DHT-17" instead of "4.5.2-109_DHT-22"?

Edit:

Don't know if it is the new kernel, the 3D fix, or is it a complex thing, but last time when I flashed 3d fix, I was getting very inconsistent and low results in quadrant. Now they are just perfect! Very stable and consistent results over 1950! :D
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Tomorrow new testbuild for MS2Ginger 3.0

- based on 4.5.1-134_DFP132 (only system) Android 2.3.6

- for testing kernel, recovery, devtree from 4.5.3-109 Android 2.3.6

- ROM is downgradeable

- new multitouch module from cm7

- no ultra bright button for red lens and defy+

- better rom speed

Please test this rom and report bugs.

After the translation teams finished there work i will release new multilanguage Rom.

do you know how to uninstall patches that you already installed?

i have been suffering from very bad battery life and i dont do much on the phone. before i arrive to work in the morning the battery is already under 90%. i will buy two batteries just to switch and not to lose the phone.

I flashed the 2.1 rom which is found on the first page but honestly i dont understand the talk about kernels etc what is a kernel? i want whatever i can get to make my battery life better. the vsel was good cause now its almost midnight and i have about 25% which is better than without vsel..but u guys are talking about 2 and three freaking days! help lol!

OK, here is some feedback about this kernel... Android boot really looks faster (not by much, but still faster). However, I have a battery problem!

One question - is there a way to get rid of the red arrows in the notification bar? I have no data plan and they are really annoying.
[Defy Android Development] farsight73:
Are you sure charging halt at 95% ??

I just completed full cycle after running battery calibrator and it worked perfect. Same new Kernel as yours. Perhaps the file batt is incorrect?

Walter, this new kernel sure is kicking ass a little quicker after running benchmark several times and it seemed quite stable too.

Sent from my awesome Moto Defy: Rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 - XDA Premium
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Thanks for feed back. New kernel works with CM9 too. 4.5.3-109 did not work.
[Defy Android Development] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
100% sure! Tried several times today to charge battery to 100% with no luck. It stops charge animation when battery gets to 95%. When screen is locked, I see a notification that battery has been fully charged but battery meter shows 95%. I have now installed ver. 3.0 that Walter uploaded.

Walter, can red arrows be removed from notification bar if no data plan is available?
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
At 95% of battery the LED will go off and charging animation will turn off. You will also see Battery full message on lock screen. But leave the phone connected to charger for another 30 mins or so you will see battery percentage increasing. This is my experience. Hence I usually leave the phone on charger at least 60 mins after the white LED goes off.
