Just installing it.

Will report later on.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

This installation went very smooth.

Cam opens OK. Several time checked no FC for now. Looks promising.

Green strips are present but do not bother me as far as Cam works OK

Volume Buttons OK

Hardware Buttons Light OK

Blur Apps present.

Will try it for day or two and will report back

Thanks Walter :)

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

The Cam started FC again after I have set up my Google Account and Blur Social Accounts :(
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Can you test with lgcamera?
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Cleaned Cam Data > FC again

Reboot the phone > it takes 3 atempts to boot before actually boot on 4th times.

Do not have any custom apps installed.Just logged into my Google Account and set up Blur Social Accounts (FB, TW, PICCASA, LAST FM)

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

I will try.

lgCamera by Rubberbigpep...?

Is that one?

After Reboot Cam is back but somehow it is not as snap as first time.

May be phone still updates services

---------- Post added 22nd April 2013 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 21st April 2013 at 11:57 PM ----------

If thats correct lgCamera app > Cam works but I thing stock takes better pics (it is quite late and may be just me do not know)

Camcorder > FC

Now phone finishes syncs and seems Cam opens OK.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I think there is somehow related with the GPS as when Press Cam or Camrecorder it calls GPS but not every time and FC when no GPS on status bar

It started FC again

Will Restart to see

My observation is that when Turn Off GPS (from status bar) the Cam gets more responsive

When in Cam Mode Back Hardware Button does no work. Exit only with Home Buttom

Going back to v3.

Walter if it could help you somehow I use MS2G v3 with GreenBread -2.3.6 - 4.5.3-109 DPP-11 ramdisk + blurcamera and never FC and all time everything OK.

May be if you could implement this combination in your MS2G v5 somehow for Us (doomed) Green Lens Users
[Defy Android Development] Pason:
can anyone tell me what is SOC and Bayer Cam:)

Sent from my ME525~Chinese 2.3.6
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
SOC, a.k.a. green lens, is the camera hardware used in the first generation of the MB525 Defy phones,

Bayer camera hardware, a.k.a. red lens, came installed in some newer versions of MB525 (from Nov.2011 onwards, if I'm not mistaken)) and in all MB526 (Defy+) phones. It is able to do 720p recordings.

News for dualboot MS2Ginger5.0 and CM10.1.

How it works.

1st step create 3 primary partition on your sdcard 1x fat32 1x ext3 1x ext4 (Partition Wizard 7).

2nd step install quarxs TWRP as 2nd-system.

Set default boot to "2nd-system" first

Install 2nd-system-TWRP.zip via stable/custom recovery. (CWM)

3rd step reboot to TWRP via 2nd-system and install "modded" cm-10.1-20130415-NIGHTLY-mb526-sdcard-gapps.zip

4rd step reboot to stable/custom recovery (CWM) of MS2Ginger and flash 2nd-system-boot-cm10.1.zip

(quarx 2nd-boot folder with modded ramdisk - remount data and system to sdcard)

5th step you can switch between 2nd-boot = MS2Ginger and 2nd-system CM10.1 in bootmenu default boot.

I will upload files to skydrive. (CM10.1 for 2nd-system has gapps included)

Walter, what is the comfortable size of this new partitions should be?

I have 8 and 32 GB SD card. At the moment I use 8 GB and if OK I could share it 4 by 4 GB for the two system. So by how much to allocate 4 gb between the 3 partitions?

Will use CM10.1 mainly for new apps check ups and Google Now.

Request for Theme Chooser & CM Settings

Dear Walter,

The way progress of MS2 Ginger V5 is going on, I beleive it will not remain "Beta" any more in coming days, all credit goes to walter.

Well I do have three suggestions :-

1) Can we have application like theme chooser for this smooth rom, Didn't find any way to apply themes in current rom?

2) Can u delete Those CM settings which are giving force closes, as soon as we get solutions for these FC's the same can be enabled or added in upcoming builds.

3)Appearance will be more beautiful if Menu Background colour is changed to little darker like cm7.

Once again thanks a lot for this lovely Rom & keep up your good work.

Avi Tandel == Defy (MB-525) == Green Lense == BL7
[Defy Android Development] nitin55:
Yeah i wiped with motorola recovery as wll as cwm recovery (also used the full wiper in ext3 format) but still the problem persists :crying:
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
example 8 GB sdcard

Fat32 5,5 GB

Ext3 for /system - 512 MB

Etx4 for /data - 2048 MB
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Ok.

Have Formatted as advised. Connected to the PC via USB. I did not WIPED the SD card before format. So i did have and still have some DATA (apps folders) on the SD card from when set up MS2G itself. Formatting went OK and been confirmed by Part.Wizard. 1xFAT32, 1xExt3, 1xExt4

When Reboot been stack on M logo and no access to CWM Recovery!

What next?

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

OK.

Took the SD card out and phone booted Normal.

Wiped (sd card) and formatted as advised:

Fat32 = 6 GB (used 0%) - Primary Active

Ext3 = 514 MB (used 3%) - Logical None

Ext4 = 1.1 GB (used 6%) - Logical None

Put it back into the phone > Rebooted = stack again on M logo ???

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

So Formatted SD Card to FAT32 (one partition/drive only) BUT when insert into the phone is stack on M logo?

Without SD card phones boots normal.

Any suggestions what to do with the SD card in order to be able to use it again?

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

OK.

Sort it out.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
All 3 partitions have to primary and not logical.

It needs to much time to support it all.

Deblur did not work well. I can`t release a rom with a lot of problems and workarounds.

Fokus is on MS2Ginger blur. But if someone like to deblur this rom he/she can use Blur rom as base.

I will do some deblur test with 4.5.3-66.

Walter,

I posted many times before that all Quarx's CM10 and 10.1 builds, from 2012/11/18 onwards, as well as your own V5 ROM, are unable to handle any media contents whenever a NTFS-formatted card is mounted. Although knowing that MIUI V5 is based on one of Quarx's builds (probably some of his last February ones), I decided to give it a try a couple of days ago, and, guess what? There's no media issues with that ROM, at all! I had to go back to Quarx's 11/17 build because MIUI V5 suffered many soft reboots for my taste.

Hope you are able to find something in that ROM which could be ported to yours, regarding NTFS support.

Thanks, anyway.

Battery does not charging after full discharging

Hi. I have two problems

1. Battery does not charging after full discharging. Green lens

2. Long boot (like 2 two attempts to start)

How to fix it?
[Defy Android Development] nedywest71:
Do not worry! Leave it to reboot till boot.It may reboot even 3-4 times before actually boot into OS. If more than 4-5 times go to Moto Recovery and Wipe than reboot and wait.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

2 Long Boot!

It will settle up after some use and few manual reboots and will be OK.

Do not know why`s that.May be need time to sync all the stuff.

I had this but no longer.

As for battery, I have never left my Battery dried completely out, so can`t help.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

If you have more than one partition on you SD card, make sure all partition are "Active" .

Exact same problem. I even tried stock data/cache wipe, but no luck. Coming from CM10.

EDIT: Flashed stock SBF, rooted, installed 2ndinit, restarted and flashed MS2Ginger-5.0-2013-04-23.

1st boot = shows Droid boot animation.

2nd boot = black screen, then reboots.

3rd boot = took a lot longer than what I'm used to on CM10, but finally booted.
[Defy Android Development] :
yep it solves with 3 reboots no need to worry!
[Defy Android Development] :
walter, we need your help!

I read in here that if you let it discharge completely then you cant charge it with your rom, and its TRUE!

If you discharge it completely it and plug it in it will go moto logo, blue light red light then reboot and so on

so actually you can boot into recovery and it shows 0%

could you upload a .zip to solve this issue? else people will start loosing their defys which is quite bad :( and last time I tried mcguiver stuff to charge the battery it went really bad............ I had to get myself another defy..

PLEASE WALTER!

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

How did you solve this? the 1. I mean It happened to me and this is worse than a soft brick!

EDIT: I found a temporal solution for this problem that we are all having (not charging while our defy is full discharged) boot into recovery wait 15 min or so with the phone plugged in, then unplug it and restart, It will boot at 0% so plug it fuking fast before it shuts down!

I don't know if this works for everyone or I was just lucky, so I will charge till 100% and revert to my cm7 till this is fixed then I will come back! :) thanks for this rom its perfect hope we can get a solution for this since the battery in this rom is literally x2 than any other rom!

hi to everybody,

I want to flash MS2Ginger 5.0 on my stock 2.2.2 defy BAYER; I have some question:

1- do I need to format in EXT3 instead of EXT4, before flash the ROM ?

2- do I need to format / to partition in some way my SD ?

3- does the ROM have connection drops 2/3G<->wifi?

thanks
[Defy Android Development] :
1. yes just in case

2. no

3. no!

4. be careful currently there is a bug that if you discharge completely your rom it wont charge and you need to do wierd stuff to make it charge, Im waiting for an awnser from walter when he tries it out and see that its a bug and not a special case!
[Defy Android Development] :
hey xda before I asked you to fully discharge and try to charge it.. I know some of you dont want to run any risks..

so can I ask you to turn off your defy with msginger 5.0 and try to charge it? do you enter in a moto, blue, red bootloop? thank you for your collaboration!
