No Boot Up for Defy BL7 Green Lense Yet

I was on Quarks 2nd boot 17012013.

Wipe Data >> Wipe Cashe >>

Successfully restored walters18032013, After Moto Red Logo only Red Light..

Then changed boot menu from 2nd boot to 2nd Init Constant Reboots Red> Blue > Green.

** According to my knowledge if we select 2nd init then kernel wont be custom kernel it will be stock kernel so camera wont work!!

Hence went back to Quarks 17012013.

I believe in Walters hardwork & constant updates, Hope my defy will boot up in future with ms2 version 5.

Edit :- 22032013 Build works for BL7, Waiting for Camera Fix now.

Thanks in Advance

Avi Tandel, Navi Mumbai, India.

Defy 525 Green Lense on which wrongly flashed defy plus sbf, hence I am on BL7.

2 Questions

Hi Walter,

A long time ago, I used your ROMs for many months. As far as I remember it was your version 2. I liked it a lot, because it was fast and stable. From the last 4 months, I'm stuck with Quarx 11/17 CM10 build, because since his 11/18 one onwards, they all have problems handling media files (camera, alarms, notifications, music, play store, whatever), due to my 64GB NTFS formatted card. So, before trying your new v5 build, I'd like to know whteher it is able to handle NTFS formatted cards or not. Another question, if I may: does your new ROM handle sip calls natively?

Thanks, anyway.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
kernel supports ntfs. did not test a ntfs formated card. You can test it and report if it work or not.
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Thanks! And what about embedded sip calls handling?:

Camera Not working in soc green lense Defy

Walter, Just tested your new build MS2Ginger5.0-2013-03-22-support-both-cams.

While restoring Nandroid I got error for Recovery " MD5 Mismatch" but phone boots up. ** No error for System Nandroid

Changed based band, Applied camera patch & Rebooted.

While opening camera ,phone shows black screen for a minute time and then error msg like

"oops camera .... " could not read exact text as it moves in few seconds. While opening camcoder, again its black screen for a minute time untill I unlock the phone and got message " Sorry Application Camcorder ( In camera app ) is not responding " wait or close.

Also facing problem to unlock the phone, only after going for camera or camcorder app & Unlocking becomes laggy.

Waiting for new patch.../ Let me know any other methods / steps ..

Hi Walter,

I restored the nandroid backup without problems and used the green lens patch.

The system runs smooth

I have no problems with the lock screen.

The camera however does not startup.

I never did a logcat and I have to investigate how to proper use it. I made a logcat anyway, and the camera issues are in it also.

Hope you can use it.

No go for my 64GB NTFS-rormatted card!

Hi Walter,

I gave your v5.0 a try. Like all previous ROMs from you, it seems to be fast and stable, but, unfortunately, my Sandisk Ultra 64GB card, formatted to NTFS, is not recognized, at all. An entry is kept in the status bar stating something like "SD card blank or has an unsupported filesystem", asking me to format it. Well, Besides, the wifi connection to my open wireless network (I use MAC address filtering) is dropped every couple of minutes.

I had to restore a previous nandroid backup from Quarx's 11/17 build.

Very nice ROM of yours, though.

[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I posted this in Quarx dev thread many times: the latest Quarx build which correctly handles NTFS cards is his 11/17 one (that's the one I'm running since then). With all subsequent builds (have not tried his 03/26 build yet), process.android.media is stopped whenever a media file is to be played. Nevertheless, Total Commander (also other file browsers too) is able to access the card just fine. All those builds, in theory, were able to handle NTFS cards. But I recall seeing in the logs a media process returning -1 as volume ID. So, something very specific to media handling has changed since his 11/18 build.

I'm not expecting USB-OTG to work on the Defy Big bonus if it did, though :). Just plain NTFS support (including media) would do for me. By the way, in Quarx's 11/17 build, I have files 'ntfs-3g' and 'ntfs-3g.probe' under /system/bin (not xbin, as stated in the thread you've linked), but no 'fuse.ko' file under either /system or /data. Nevertheless, NTFS works just fine.

Just tried the new 5.0 beta, it works very smooth! Two things I also recognised on my SOC =>

1: flash is out of sync, picture is dark, seems like it is captured after

the flash is flashing

2: when trying to take picture, lense focuses until picture is in focus, but when the capturing happens, lense is also released from the position it was sharp, resulting a very blurry photo (as I can remember, I had this issue with 4.0 also)

Apart from these issues,the ROM is very fast, thank you Walter for bringing custom kernel to GB ROM!!
