Which patch?

The ones listed in post #1 are:

MS2Ginger 2.1 no bluraccount for social apps

MS2Ginger 2.1 enable wifi chanel 12,13,14

MS2Ginger 2.1 !!ONLY red defy and defy+ 3dperformance update

MS2Ginger 2.1 Update 1 -->SWYPE, avi fix, updates for spellchecking and tts

I believe that evolution1g was referring to #4 on that list. I found the same problem: the swype keyboard appears but you can't actually swype with it. IIRC a number of other posters reported this problem but I've never seen anyone suggest a fix for it. I certainly don't see anything in the descriptions of the other patches that suggest they would help.
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
I did not manage in any way to solve the installation of MS2Ginger V3.0 test 2 even after I followed all the steps correctly again and again... It remains at the M logo and that's all. After that, the solution to make'it work again was to recover my system from the V2.1 backup. I think is something wrong with my phone! All previous installations were made ​​by me and I've never had problems like this before...
[Defy Android Development] Adityaak:
how do i get back to stock Froyo from ms2ginger 2.1 for soc module. please help me. thanks in advance.
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
You should flash a full froyo sbf using RSDLite. Take care: you may not be able to go back to eclair after that...
[Defy Android Development] fersago:
I have flashed the 2.3.6 latest full sbf, can I use this ROM anyway?

Thanks!;)
[Defy Android Development] Adityaak:
Basically i got froyo 2.2.2 when i bought my defy so i think i dont need eclair.

can you tell me all the step to get back to froyo from ms2ginger2.1?

do i have to flash any fixed sbf???

because ms2ginger2.1 has greenbreadmod which works on froyo kernel so can i just restore my nandroid backup of 2.2.2?

can restoring nandroid of 2.2.2 will result into bootloop???
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
I think that a fixed sbf or a nand won't work. You may try and get stuck into bootloop and even loose bootmenu! no problem if you have enough battery charge. Use RSDLite and flash a full froyo sbf. You can root your device and restore any nandroid backup after that;) Just take care about the battery charge. The process may take a long time...
[Defy Android Development] Adityaak:
Ok so i can flash a froyo sbf over ms2ginger i.e i can flash sbf of old android os over new android os? Will it not put me into boootloop?
[Defy Android Development] anil944:
Yap... Am with u on this one... I have tried almost all the ROMS for Defy including MS2Ginger 2.1... But i cant get the 3.0 on my Defy... Hope the final version does... :(

Walter i need ur help on this one...
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
You won't be able to downgrade your android version ONLY if you flash a full sbf, and you have not done that to install ms2ginger. And don't worry man, if flashing a full froyo sbf put you into bootloop, at least you are obviously able to flash the fixed sbfs posted by walter(the first post) usig RSDLite and get rid of bootloop. But I assure you that a full froyo sbf is flashable over ms2ginger...
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
It seems I'm not alone and our hardware is the problem somehow... Walter79 help us, please!

But what was the update?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
4.5.2-109-DHT-22 fixed sbf. Latest kernel version 2
[Defy Android Development] MotoRaph:
Better Kernel than 4.5.3.109?
[Defy Android Development] pawelsz:
for me, no
[Defy Android Development] MotoRaph:
You have tested the new one?
[Defy Android Development] pawelsz:
yes, i tested 4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip and after few days i use 4.5.3-109fixed-sbf-via-update.zip (lower power usage).

Now i'm using 4.5.3-109, but i don't know how to check it, AnTuTu shows me Kernel 2,6,32,9-g15cc991
[Defy Android Development] MotoRaph:
It is a different kernel than your update zip i think
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
MS2Ginger 3.0 test 2 missing files

copy attached files to /system/framework and set permission.

This fixed some problems with Contact widget and google maps based apps.
[Defy Android Development] Monzer_:
Live wallpaper not working I did wipe , any fix plz ? Thx.

Edit: ms2ginger 2.1
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Question for MS2Ginger 3.0 test2

Did someone else have wifi problems like me?

Wifi disconnects.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
no loss of signal , but big dips in signal strength despite being in same place
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
Auris, Walter, I tryed flash zip puting in clockworkmod/backup, but dont display this option(superuser.zip) via Advanced REstore, i dont understand or doing anything error? Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
It's a zip not a nandroid, install zip from sd option
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Wifi problems are solved. Replaced wifi modules.

edit: Did not work
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
Hi Walter and thank you for your har work,

I experienced the Wifi disconnect problem too. But more important is a problem I wonder if anyone else experienced too. I have flashed MS2ginger V3.0 test2 along with 4.5.3-109fixed-sbf-via-update.zip for its' lower consumption. I just use the phone for calling, Some Wifi internet surfing, and I use the timer for wakeup. After a day or two, it seems that RAM is getting occupied more and more gradually by some unknown system apps (I am sure it is not user apps, as I checked it in task manager) and the phone responsiveness is reduced so that finally it either resets itself or I should reset it! I used the very uptodate antivirus programs but they didn't report any virus activity:confused:
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Wifi problem: I think it is a bug in 4.5.2-109-DHT-22 rom.

ram problem: try this --> delete /system/etc/init.d/s97ramscript

Could you report if it works?

Same wifi problem.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Multilanguage keyboard - SWYPE

- 27 language

- works with MS2Ginger 2.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20774170
[Defy Android Development] pawelsz:
thx Walter79 for Swype- did you test voice recognition in this version (of ciurse german i think)?

I'am using swype and older version works perfect with polish voice recognition, the newest version have aolny (build in) english.

And another question- is that possible to block some features in MsGinger 2.1, just like social networks, or some blur features - to free memory
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
That swype is not full-screen in landscape. It's made for 800px/length displays.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Well, mine is a connected version, and has been upgraded a couple of days ago. It seems to be newer than the one suggested by Walter. Take a look at the attached picture for further details. Besides, it is perfect in landscape.

Just my 2 cents...

Happy New Year, everyone!

[Defy Android Development] mikeman8484:
Voice recognition works very well ....for me;) checked polish Russian Spanish and English;) it seems more accurate too after only few msgs. The buttons are a bit smaller though.
[Defy Android Development] balika01:
other kernel?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I tried kernel from 4.5.3-109, 4.5.2-109 and 4.5.1-134-dfp74.

I will not test a version 3 kernel. = 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 or 125 or 139.

EDIT: 4.5.3-66 kernel did not work.

I think all 2.3.6 rom have this wifi problem if you use a froyo or a version 2 GB kernel.
[Defy Android Development] balika01:
v6 kernel work's good :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
If i flash new kernel and new bootloader i need a greenlens defy for testing.
[Defy Android Development] balika01:
my defy lens is green
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
= no working camera
[Defy Android Development] balika01:
yes (for 10 characters)
[Defy Android Development] sixSforever:
about Swype:

sorry walter79, i know is working on many defy custom rom, but i think you put in your next MS2Ginger3.0 :D

in your face Moto!
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
Thank you very much Walter. Now, after deleting that ramscript, the phone works a lot better. I tested some heavy multi-tasking and resource consuming applications, and the responsiveness is not reduced. I didn't need to reboot my phone anymore.

Something else Walter: I tested the Wifi disconnect problem again. In my phone it doesn't happen when I am near a Wifi access point. Only when the signal strength is rather low, it may happen. so I think that it is just a minor problem. This MS2gingerV3 is really a great rom and such a minor problem can be ignored, I think. Instead, you have a very responsive system that consumes low power too. Please go ahead... We all really like your work:)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Did you use a version 3 kernel? Did you flash a 2.3.6 full sbf?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Today i will do my last test with android 2.3.6.

I will test 4.5.1-134-DFP-125.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

If there is still the wifi problem maybe i will test a Milestone 2 rom.

Motrola f..k you. Defy is a good device but the software makes me crazy.

EDIT:

WLAN problem still present.

= no update to 2.3.6

Back to my personal MS2Ginger2.1
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Strange that others are not having the same issue. Also I think there are hardware build issues, I had a bayer model for 9 months came back from repair with soc, original fault redeveloped, motherboard and battery was replaced, still faulty. I now have a replacement soc which the signal (utms and wifi)is noticeabley weaker than the original. I also think they degrade very quickly, moto may regret a two year warranty.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
On android-hilfe.de a lot of people have the same wifi problems with 2.3.6 build. I can`t test if it is kernel related. I need a someone with defy red lens (bayer) who can test 2.3.6 build with version 2 kernel (4.5.3-109). A lot of members flashed full 2.3.6 sbf and have no problems.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Are the wifi drivers compiled in or loadable modules? if modules could be worth replacing with one from another, as long as its the same branch of kernel should be ok.
[Defy Android Development] bobo9900:
Walter, in msginger2.1, I have to change dot11PowerMode = 1 in tiwlan.ini to fix wifi issue (always connected but slow or no data come in, using wpa2)

This disable wifi's powersave mode. For me its no problem since I only enable wifi when I need it.

I have not try beta3, I wonder if its the same issue.
[Defy Android Development] MotoRaph:
I will do that with 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 and the 4.5.3-109-kernel.
[Defy Android Development] Cassinander:
beta3? Where?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/6jGnnNrX/Test.html

Increase vsels on first boot. Or set clk 3 to 1000 or more.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:

So here's a update for my Defy + Update to 2.3.6.

2.3.4 Defy + runs at 100%

OTA Update to 2.3.6

No more mobile data networks and Wi permanent discontinuations

APN problem I could solve by new SIM, data networks again

WLAN problem still there

Device to Asia 2.3.6. flashed

WLAN problem still there

After several tests with different routers and settings I made for my Defy + following findings and finally found a solution

-Moving the wireless mode does nothing at all

-Changing the encryption takes nothing at all

-Change the channel assignment does nothing at all

Netgear router from AVM and worked without problems. Only had problems with my 802 EasyBox home.

Ultimately, I could make on my EasyBox manual IP settings again by a permanent, stable connection.

Who wants to understand it.

But right now I'm just glad that this wretched waste of time is over and it goes again. M. **** .......

[Defy Android Development] Kuresz:
Its good to hear! So the msginger 3.0 is coming soon? :D
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Glad you got it sorted walter, looking forward to the release
[Defy Android Development] vjun:
I really think that this is the best ROM for Defy. The only thing that makes me still use CM7 is the Facebook sync bug. Did anyone ever find a solution for it?
[Defy Android Development] Kuresz:
I have a question. On the first page, there is the FIXED SBFs / kernel section.

So my question is. The zip is equal to the sbfs or i should flash the sbf with the rsd lite? When i flash it, can i change back to froyo?
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Read the first post again. Nandroid not zip kernel is v5 ok for froyo
[Defy Android Development] Kuresz:
Defy red/Defy+ - 4.5.2-109_DHT-22 kernel only: 4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip (latest kernel) recalibrate your battery after this update

I mean this. This is a zip. Kernel update maybe. But where is the kernel? I see only sbf files. What nandroid v5 are you talking about? Sorry but i really dont get it.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
V5 dev tree(froyo)

Other recent 2.3.6 have v6, you cannot go back if flash full sbf. Use fixed only.

Install as below

Extract the zip

Place folder on sd card/clockworkmod/backup

Reboot phone in boot menu advance restore system from backup folder reboot flash fixed sbf
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
Glad you have found a solution for wifi problem before I can answer! So it seems it was a matter of compatibility between Motorola software and some wifi routers:confused:

Anyway, I never flashed a full sbf. Just moved form stock froyo to MS2ginger2.1 and then V3 test2. And I use 4.5.3-109 kernel for lower power consumption...
[Defy Android Development] MotoRaph:
Works fine. No WiFi problems.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Ok, new 2.3.6 builds have problems with this router.

Dlink DIR-615

Vodafon EASYbox 803

Vodafon EASYbox 802

I have Dlink and a EASYbox.

I have build a new MS2Ginger 2.1 build with all fixes and some new part from 2.3.6.

Battery with 4.5.3-109 is very good. 4-7 mA/h.
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
The link for download is the same from the first page?
[Defy Android Development] pawelsz:
I think the same, at night it takes only 5mA/h - very good result.

@walter79 - so now we are waiting for new rom

ps

can be disabled some featues from motorola just like social etc ? to free memory
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
It is not released yet. I will integrate some new language first.
[Defy Android Development] tnsantos:
Ok, thanks. I'll wait the release. Walter, I'm just curious how much free MBs does your defy have? I think I'm getting neurotic about this question of free memory. lol.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
With all language we have only 10 Mb left on /system partition.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Ooh not much space, maybe languages should be available as update.zips supply the base with en only and offer a euro and asiatic language.zip.

E.g. install base rom then european users could flash eurolang.zip and asiatic users asialang.zip
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Language.zips are to much work.

I am testing a Milestone 2 - Android 2.3.4 rom. It is not bad. fast.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Care to share ;)
[Defy Android Development] MMarv:
OK, I liked the more beautiful icons of MS2ginger 2.1:p

But something else, Walter:

1- V2.1 was heavily loaded with a large number of blur apps, many of them almost useless, I think. V3 is much better in this aspect. I made a comparison and the system dir. was much lighter in V3.0. Can we simply delete additional apps in V2.1 by comparison to V3.0 and wipe Dalvik after that? ( I am not sure, you may say if this is the reason why V3 looked faster than V2.1)

2- Power consumption in V3 was really lower than V2.1

3- I am affraid if Milestone 2 is not 100% hardware compatible with defy and using its rom may cause some hardware inefficiencies in Defy (compass for example or other things, I don't know)
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
Walter your quiet today, any developments:_)

[Defy Android Development] Kuresz:
Agree :( But it would be awesome to have the new rom for the last day of '11
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I am testing new milestone 2 base rom. 2.3.4 retail DACH. It has support for pt_br language and no wifi bug. If battery live is good. I will post a test build tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I did some work for ICS. Talk with motorola service. And started new discussion on motodevelopers website. Quarxs wrote a message to one of motorola developers for defy via google+.

After this day i think we will never get unlocked bootloader. No person from motorola support can helps. Only defy developers from moto know the way to unlock. I hope quarxs have some luck.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
That's not great news. But we've suspected for a while that was the case. Good you're working on ics though.
[Defy Android Development] farsight73:
I would love to use ICS Rom but until it got all functional normal, I'll stick with fully function 2.3.6 rom.. I think we did well even without bootloader unlock.

yes, completely ... i've installed it and i try. The only thing : you have to do a titanium backup before flash it because you have to clean data.

Otherwise you device is not waking up and loops on the red logo moto ...

bootloop

just updated from 2.1 to 3.0 test v3 but I'm stuck with bootloop.

what I did:

-rebooted to latest recovery from MS2Ginger2.1

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-wipe dalvik cache

-advanced restore system from test rom v3

-reboot -> bootloop

Am I doing something wrong?

I had the same problem with test rom v2

(using green lens Defy)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
You have to flash the original greenbreadmod after restore system again.
[Defy Android Development] sa3e1:
Ok, I tried with flashing GreenBread_1.1_release.zip at the end of the process, the phone starts with red m logo, then the keyboard backight is flashing for some seconds and then nothing happens, the phone is stuck at red m.
[Defy Android Development] mpiekp:
It works and its great :)

step by step for green lens:-

from bootmenu wipe dalvik

factory reset

advanced restore msginger2.1> boot>devtree>recovery

advanced restore msginger3.0-test3>system

installs from zip>greenbreadmod1.1

reboot

takes a little while then you get a fullblur 2.3.6 gingerbread

[Defy Android Development] woodyby:
Many thanks Walter.

Runs smooth and fine on my defy+.

I've installed it on my defy green lens and runs fine except for the camera. As soon as i install the greenbreadmod, the defy stay on the red logo of moto. To make it run again, i have to flash over rsd lite the Defy/Defy+ - 4.5.3-109fixed.sbf.

I've done the wipe cache, wipe dalvik, try several times but with no lucky

Any idea ?
