Uploading new MS2Ginger5.0A.

This build will fix the charging problem.

Thanks to quarxs i used his files from CM10.2 for 2nd-boot.

edit: Build is up. Welcome MS2Ginger5.0A
[Defy Android Development] :
Hey! Thats great!!

This was also solved by using another base sbf!!

Are there any other changes?

I will install it anyway ^^
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Is it possible for a CM9.1 build with your latest kernel. Also, can the launcher of this ROM be replaced by launcher from Defy+ Retail Asian ROM?
[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
typo?

Hi@all,

am I the only one who is puzzeled by the saying: Enabled: Choose this to disable... - phrases in the Aroma installer? I always get it wrong, when I first reinstall...

Besides that it's a 5 Star Rom!

Regards.

Clear cache from stock recovery.
[Defy Android Development] sonymanw:
Man... i wiped to ext 3 so i don`t have to do thi, but i checked it and this samee. After motorola logo, red led and reboot...

OK.

I flashed a new kernel 4.5.3-109-DPP-11, clear cache from motorola recovery and working v5!!!

Looks nice, fresh not like cm7 (it`s good), good quality icons etc. But why there is not a weather widget?
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Did you choose to install blur apps?
[Defy Android Development] sonymanw:
I did not remember i have 3 widgets from motorola and other from android.
[Defy Android Development] DanFragoso:
How i can use your MS2Ginger 2nd-boot kernel in Wiui Gb or CM7 ?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I don't think you can unless you can extract the kernel from MS2Ginger or something (I don't know).
[Defy Android Development] sonymanw:
After turn off i have bootloop( logo motorola red led logo motoroal and to infinity) i have to replace battery and works. Why?
[Defy Android Development] DanFragoso:
Any way to do this ?
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I don't think so unless Walter does it.
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Hi all,

I noticed after rebooting (ms2ginger) a terrible lag from the phone.

When I look at "top" using a terminal, I notice busybox is using 90% cpu or more...!

After killing busybox from the command line, the phone is once again its old responsive self.

I'm not sure who is starting busybox or what function of bb is being used yet.

FYI in case anyone has this issue.

I'm going to try out a cm7 build since I've been using cm7/10 for a long time and I miss a lot of the customization of cm... I also notice there isn't a way to use 2G only with this rom, which I used to do automatically from Tasker while at work.

Walter did a great job -- this rom runs great on the Defy and it is quite stable.

I've found like many others, JB requires too much ram and that's why I'm back to a GB variant.

One last thing, try the ADW launcher with this rom (install from market), it is a big improvement over the moto launcher.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
can you post a logcat/dmesg?
[Defy Android Development] rain91x:
slow?

Hi, i flashed MS2Ginger3 yesterday, with greenbread1.1. Its ok, but battery doesnt show in notibar (red triangle).

After, i installed MS2Ginger4+greenbread1.1. Battery is ok, but ROM is very slow and laggy.

After, i installed MS2Ginger5 with aroma (choose SOC option), but ROM is very slow and laggy.

(Im locked on BL6. I flashed this ROM before flashed MS2ginger roms: "JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USA_BL6_2.3.5_Downgrade_to_Froyo")

If i flashed any BL6 GB full sbf, i dont have problem with speed, but camera isnt work. Any solution?

Thanks

Did you do a wipe cache and dalvik before the restore thing?
[Defy Android Development] johanlh:
It's not a big deal walter, I think it's better if you focus in only one project so that project will become better faster. I've been using your ROM and yesterday I decided to deblured with the procedure you explained here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215798

It's been working fine so far.

I'll be aware of your releases and I can test if deblurring works well or not, I'll post my results here.

By the way, I'm waiting for you to enable the spelling correction for other languages other than English.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
walter, is there any pros-cons comparison

between this milestone 2 port and defy+ port?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I think battery drains faster in 4.5.3-66 defy+ but it is a bit faster rom.

Defy+

postive: Musikplayer on lockscreen (maybe we can port it)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Spellchecker and compass fix online!
[Defy Android Development] YashBhatt:
I did that long back but it wont detect the restore....

Tells me that there are no files to restore :(
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
wrong post.
[Defy Android Development] johanlh:
Remember you have to unzip the file you download from here and put the folder in the path Walter said. it's a nandroid backup not a zip to install. MIUI install that way (install zip from SD card), but MS2 uses ther Restore method.
[Defy Android Development] johanlh:
Hey Walter, I installed the zip for spellchecking but only English is shown in the Input Languages list. Where can I find the other languages?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:

[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
what files are responsible of handling 3d / opengl things?

can we just replace it from cm7 files?

3d performance is not good as cm7 or miui.

moto failed to fix it.

just look at planet scene

when you guys running quadrant benchmark.

the planets will go weird, it looks like coliding each other with its "tentacle".

official froyo has this problem too..

i remember back there when miui at early development,

there's a 3d performance fix, maybe the files responsible is there,

but it mixed with other additional files for fixing other issues.

i don't know which files exacly. but my guess is on /system/lib/egl/*.*

http://www.multiupload.com/9WDI5IBQKS

from this guy:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12938732#post12938732

he just notice, on official froyo (and just like this gb official),

that planets scene only has 12 fps

but on CM7, it boosted to 50 fps with no weird tentacle over the planets.

MiUi took CM7 sources too, and it boosted too.

maybe if we add those files,

it could help us to get better 3d performance on this official rom release.
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
i decompiled setup.apk, but i need to check with another GB setup.apk to search the right code to put it in...
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
yeaa..

[UDPATED ATTACHMENT]

sorry guys, i've been too hurry earlier.

YES!! it works!! :D

no more laggy on 3d performance.

no more weird collision and "tentacle" on 3d textured object,

[for simple example, just see quadrant benchmark on planets scene, you will know what i am talking about]

now it has 50 fps (before it was only 12 fps)

i took cm7 3D library, and replace on it.

here in attachment i create a update.zip (sorry wrong upload earlier)

and reverting zip just in case you'll get error.

EDIT: yep i lost bootanimation at startup after applying zip.

i'm green lensed defy,

so of course i apply greenbread mod which using froyo kernel (cmiiw).

i don't know if this library-replace could suit red lense.
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
apn changes in this zip???????????????? seriously?
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
sorry, i am stupid..

and forgot to rename it again before upload.

see post above, updated.

why i am change to APK

because that DAMN ANDROID BROWSER cannot download ZIP,

i have to rename it to APK (i am using my web server to transfer files without cable)

sorry ;)

Is there a way to port Defy+ lockscreen (new ring lockscreen) to this ROM?

If someone has done it can they post it? I've tried, but i couldn't do it.
[Defy Android Development] jusid:
I've installed ms2ginger 5.0a on my Defy green lens. The ROM is very smooth, thanks Walter!

There is a problem though. I am able to boot the phone in 1 try out of 3. The phone may hang with red light on, or reboot just after the red light. Once I got a normal boot, but with black screen (display not initialized?).

Anyone else experience such issues during reboot.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Wipe cache with stock recovery.
[Defy Android Development] jusid:
Thanks, but it has not helped. I still have problems while booting. :(

Not a big deal, since normally I reboot the phone rarely. And the red led hang actually is not a hang - the phone automatically reboots in 1-2 minutes and may boot normally after that.

If nobody else experience such boot problems, I suspect it can be caused by starting SBF. I still have BL3 and Froyo staring SBF. Maybe I should use some GB SBF with BL4 or BL5 as a starting SBF? Anyone with green lens Defy can comment on this?
[Defy Android Development] lohtse:
this is the only rom I can get to run properly on my defy+ great rom but would love too see an update or addon/mods

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I can confirm this. Wifi connection is dropped and does not turn on unless turned on manually. Even using apps that turn wifi back on can't turn it on. Exact same router configuration (open network with mac filtering + static IP address assigned by router). DHCP lease is not unlimited, and additionally, this does not happen when the phone is plugged into charger. Wifi sleep policy is set to "Never".

[MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION]: I can provide catlogs if you need any in order to figure out what is going on.

Edit: There might be more instances of the problem, but I dumped the log right after I realized the connection was down, so you will see it right at the end.

I have defy red lens, and now i have mokee 43 version on my phone.

second time on cwm recovery whit wipe data factor and wipe cache.

third time whit full defy wipe ext3 zip , format all system file,

so when I off phone and plug on charge is non start and go reboot . i see moto logo, blu led, red led and after reboot, all time.

tap on next. reboot system

when is off phone not charge. moto logo, blue led, red led. screen balck, reboot....
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Do a full wipe, i.e., wipe /data, /cache, and /system. The latest build does not have this problem, so it's obvious that you still have remnants of the old version.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
my previous version mokee version 4.3 rom.

now i try, flash sbf file nordic, go on stock, root defy,2ndinit...and reflhash this rom, so i think i delete all old version file. i hope

When finish, try charge and report.

Thanks you and walter79 for support

last chance.

downolad MS2Ginger-5.0-2013-04-23.zip

download MS2Ginger-5.0a-2013-08-05.zip

full wipe and install MS2Ginger-5.0-2013-04-23.zip

reboot

after full wipe and install MS2Ginger-5.0a-2013-08-05.zip

report result after finish
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Ok, first of all, you need to format your partitions back to EXT3 when you downgrade from JB to GB, which isn't necessary now since you flashed an SBF.

Second, if you install MS2Ginger-5.0-2013-04-23.zip and then MS2Ginger-5.0a-2013-08-05.zip without wiping /system, you might not be getting anywhere.

Wipe /system, and then flash MS2Ginger-5.0a-2013-08-05.zip; you'll obviously need the Wiper Scripts (preferably the aroma wiper) since MS2Ginger doesn't come with TWRP.

I spent about 3 weeks on MS2Ginger-5.0a, so I can verify it does charge while off.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
now i use aroma wiper...the system not boot stay on moto logo, now i must flash sbf :(

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

for me, charge when is off, not work, I have tried all. full wipe script, sbf...so i have install more rom, and i know procedure.

I hope in next update rom. for me problem not solved.

i know my phone is old, and so this rom is perfect for defy.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] lohtse:
starting to have serious issues with this rom..

1) if I reboot the phone it with then reboot it's self at least twice before settling down.

2) on at least fifty percent of the time after a reboot the home button does not work instead it sort of flashs a black screen when trying to use it.

3)after a phone call or using phone as an Access point its pointless trying to use phone for at least an hour as phone lags soooooo much...quickest way to solve it is a reboot(then you get the two issues mentioned).

4) after about 5 days the android secure folder corrupts causing a boot loop only way to fix is to delete folder and reinstall.

No this in my opinion has to be either a phone or rom issues as the setup is identical to the one on my ZTE cresent phone(work issued phone) and there's no issues there.

any ideas folks? and yes have already tried using other SD cards incase that was the cause...
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, before you flash anything you should read on how to do it. After wiping with the Aroma Wiper you cannot reboot!!!! Wiping the /system partition deletes everything from the phone, so if you reboot, there is no operating system to load. It's perfectly clear in the instructions!! If you went back to SBF, then you're just wasting your time, and other people's time by answering you.

You have "not tried all". Flashing SBF and then another ROM without wiping /system is what you have been doing all along.

Wipe /system, do not reboot, flash MS2Ginger-5.0a-2013-08-05.zip, reboot! Wiping /system is the only way to ensure that remnants from the old system partition are not left behind.

Also, check if you're actually flashing the correct ROM.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
You have read my previuos post?

So please read my previous post first, i told all procedures.

I know aroma wiper and other script for full wipe, and after you read not reboot, because all system delete, after this script I have installed the rom.

So please read first

After I flash sbf -> root and 2ndinit

Go to CWM recovery

install zip anche choice aroma wiper,

after choice a zip and select the rom, so the result not change

I have read all post and procedures.

I have take the rom on first post, There is only one rom MS2Ginger 5.0a, and I have a moto defy Bayer camera (red lense)
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
I solved it, before didn't work led charge and the charge when off.

After more test and attempts, now I have install Defy+battery.zip. I have take it on folder ms2ginger 4.0

I hope this help.

and I want give a smile to people that lost your time in previous post.

Now the rom is perfect.

Great Job Walter79

[Defy Android Development] linolino:
...had such thing recently myself.

Don't remember what I was exactly doing in config of MS2Ginger while charging cable was connected. Then it stoppet to charge and rather started to discharge...

So I tried a shut OFF and ON again - voila battery was charging.

(Had this before on other condition as well coming from MS2Ginger to a CM10.1 the battery didn't charge anylonger so did switch back to MS2Ginger before it was empty.)
[Defy Android Development] sly.cooper:
I have installed ver 5 and it is working fine. The only problem that I have is boot time. I see moto logo, blue light, red light for some time and boots again with Moto logo and then the defy and ROM logo comes up. Am I missing any configuration? I can understand the boot time being slow for the first time. During first time, I saw moto logo, blue light, red light for 2 times and then it booted. There is delay when the red light is ON. Any suggestions?

Maybe its not the same for everyone but its not the case for me. Its running for more than 2 weeks now i think. Altough i am using LBE Privacy Guard and i have very strickt options regarding which apps (even system ones) and services are allowed to do that, even auto start. It runs up to 4 days with moderate use without charging.

I found this rom need manual reboot everyday as it's get lagging as you use it.. to the point it hang or freeze sometimes.. there's a major memory leak management in the system.. I'd since flashed a stock rom 2.3.6 and only rooted it and this stock rom really flies with no indication of slowing down.. been running this stock rom for a month without shutting down the phone..

[Defy Android Development] ezantera:
Can you share with us on what exactly rom you did 1month without reboot?

I personally changed all available roms several times and for me, ms2ginger v4 is most stable one. I will only try one more when it is stable. Cm11 with art enabled :)
[Defy Android Development] Keboid:
I have certainly run MS2Ginger 5.0 for more than a month without rebooting, well, i have removed some system apps that are unnecessary for me, and i use LBE Privacy to prevent most of my apps from autostart, running in background etc. or freeing ram, like this it can run even 3+ days with one charge while moderate usage. For me personally CM includes too many unnecessary stuff just like stock roms, from several of other roms i still prefer this one. Well, i'm curious about 4.4 as well, i'll see when its stable and full functioning with 3.0 kernel, art. Until then, this rom makes my defy+ the most reliable from all. Thats for me ofc, as one can see browsing trough the various threads, ppl have different experiences with all kinds of roms.

I did not want to create inaccuracies

to clarify, only sometimes I need the simple reboot

sometimes every 2 days, other times a week with no problems

yes, most likely may depend on some of my app or my old hardware

when the "lag" are remarkable, I do a reboot

nothing dangerous or bad, only lag

however,

I consider this very good rom 5.0a for daily use !

I use the version without app motorola
