[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
You can follow this guide at http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/HTC_Desire for S-OFFing with Revolutionary. It's better detailed than Revolutionary's own wiki.

You may not have to do the Installing Superuser and su step if you're rooted already, mine stayed rooted when I S-OFF'd today.

Big advantage of S-OFFing is I could start using the Oxygen r2 HBOOT from Alpharev.nl site, making the system partition drastically smaller (250mb is wasted space for custom roms that aren't bloated Sense) that way I could use more of /Data for apps. It's apparently better for battery life not having apps load off the sdcard with the various apps2sd and dalvik2sd workarounds when using an sd-ext partition.

I did need to move fastboot.exe to the folder adb.exe is in in order to flash a new partition image (instructions on alpharev.nl; scroll down to "modified partition tables") as I got an error about AdbWinApi.dll being missing. They've changed things around in the Android SDK installer so adb.exe needs an additional download via SDK Manager.

p.s. Also I restored my backup of Sense before S-OFFing, just to be on the safe side, Alpharev.nl recommended this but the other guides made no mention of it. It was probably best as my current ROM, Oxygen, has apps2sd implemented and apparently this can interfere with the flashing process.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopGear63z:
Another thing, i don't have time this week because of a wedding, but is it crucial to make a nandroid as i can't restore one(amonra 2.0.0), i'll try revolutionary when i do it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbriant:
Theres a strange issue in Windows Phone 7

Basically open up IE, load something like google then another site. Press Windows Key, then open another app.

Close that and then load up IE again. Now how the heck are you ment to navigate back a page?

As the back button will now take you back a step in apps and not pages.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Hi guys,

I read about the keyboard isssues the transformer had. Like battery issues, trackpad issues, etc. For some of these issues it has to be send to Asus.

Recently I got one from a mate in the US, and I'm in China, so assume I cannot be helped in China (seriously, its next to impossible to get after market help in China).

So, are there firmware updates that resolve these issues before they become apparent, or do I really need to send it to asus for modification? Or have Asus addressed some of these issues already in the docks? If so, from what S/N onwards is this the case?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
the one real issue is the dock prevents the tablet from going into deep sleep. so if you don't have battery issues with the dock, you don't need to modification. this "fix" however requires that you send the dock to asus.

i don't know what other issues you're talking about (you might want to be more specific)...but the only other consistent complaint with the keyboard is the lag when using in stock browser. this is a software issue, and not one with the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
ok, thx. So deep sleep, is this doen automatically? is that the problem, or is it also present when I short-click the power button to switch off the display?

For teh other issues, yes, i think it was related to lag, an inresponsiveness. but if this is in-browser, an dnot a dock issue, then I'm not concerned.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
i'm a bit confused what your question is.

if you're asking about how deep sleep works, then yes, the idea behind it is your TF will automatically go into it after a period of non-interaction, or if you press the power button.

unless of course you have an older dock...which prevents that from happening.

if you're asking if the fix is done automatically, no. you have to send the dock to asus because the fix is a hardware installation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
ok, that answers my question. I always use the power button to switch teh screen off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beudbordel:
I have a problem with my dock : after putting the tablet into sleep with the power button while docked, I close the netbook. As soon as it is closed the screen lightens on (so it's no more sleeping and will undoubtly suck up on battery).

I think I already read a post about someone having the same problem, but I can't find it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jb0nd38372:
I want to be able to plug a standard usb webcam "type" device into my A500.

I bought off a usb microscope off Ebay. It is recognized under windows xp - 7 as a usb hid device. It did not even come with a driver disk, since everything recognized it automagically. I tried it last night under 3 different linux distro's and they detected it with no issue.

Does anyone know of a way? It would be so much easier to carry the tablet with me, vs a laptop, not to mention much better battery life so I can be in the field longer without a recharge.
[Acer Iconia A500] Diknak@gmail.com:
I think the A500 needs root for it to go into host mode. Do you have it rooted? I don't think I have heard of any webcam device working on Android with a simple plug and play, but who knows.
[Acer Iconia A500] jb0nd38372:
Oh yeah I'm rooted, running a custom rom. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty either if someone knows of a solution
[Acer Iconia A500] pic.micro23:
Hello, I'm looking also to find a solution for a webcam. But no lock so far.

Once I tried one on a older tablet running 1.6 and it worked but as it had the drivers build in loaded but I had to use a special camera apk.

So I think we need to have two things (maybe this is obvious for you)

1) the correct drivers loaded (we need to find them)

2) The correct app that let us choose the usb camera as I think they enumerate starting as 0... Or can create one

But to me the hardest part is finding the correct drivers.

Could you share the a link to that ebay microscope ? I might get one of the same so we can play with the same thing.

Thx

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

We are sorry to announce that we will be moving all of our releases away from XDA Developers. As such, we would like to thank XDA for our time here, and are sad to see things end in this way, but it is for the best.

Introducing GalnetMIUI Chameleon RC1 for the Motorola Defy!​

Images provided with thanks to Gubshi

We are proud to announce that we have now added official support for the Motorola Defy!

Lens Support:

GalnetMIUI supports both Red lens and Green lens Defy devices!

Installation is the same as the MIUI Android release. I have copied their install guide, so credit goes to them for this:

No Data Wipe Install​

This method assumes you already have MIUI and want to upgrade to a newer version without wiping all your data and apps.

1. Download Latest MIUI rom and matching language pack.

2. Boot into Custom Recovery.

3. Install the rom .zip as any other install would go.

4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.

How To Install from Scratch​

If you have 2nd Init installed already skip to step 3, if not start at step 1. These steps assume you already have flashed the Nordic Froyo rom to your Defy.

1. Download Defy 2nd init installer, easiest way is from market.

2. Run the 2nd init installer following the instructions closely.

3. Boot into Custom BootMenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery, Custom Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5. Choose Install .zip from SD Card, select MIUI rom .zip and let it finish.

6. Let the rom boot for first time. If there is any Chinese in the rom, simply select your default language to English and reboot your phone.

7. Done! Enjoy!

Download​

The download links will be in the latest release section of the official GalnetMIUI forums at www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/forum however for this release I will give you the download link directly.

[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
What Makes GalnetMIUI different from all the other MIUI roms?

The aim of GalnetMIUI is to maximise speed, stability, and battery life. While it looks the same as any other MIUI rom from the end users point of view, we have done a massive amount of work under the hood to achieve this.

So far, we have achieved this on the i9000, i9000b and i897 devices, and we are now bringing these objectives to the Motorola Defy!
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
NICE. Waiting to see the work :)

Good day!
[Defy Android Development] galnet:
Just to let you all know that this is now released, please read the OP

Regards,
[Defy Android Development] simon211175:
Are there any screen shots of this ROM? What differences are there over the standard MIUI ROM?
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
I have added the change log from Twooey II to Twooey III to give you an idea.

As for screenshots, It looks the same as normal MIUI, but with our own theme on it.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
How return to official Froyo from this ROM looks like , is this posible ? What languages are supported ?
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Installed. Report tmr :D
[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
i would like some screen shots as well as what is the advantage of GalnetMIUI over normal MIUI or what is the differentiation? good to have more developers working on custom ROMs on Defy!
[Defy Android Development] bether:
@kevin_diu Please give us sample camera records from this ROM.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
@kevin_diu : and more info is welcome too , do you have green or red lensed Defy ? Could you check if there is Polish language supported ?
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
I have a green len defy. I will upload a few screen shot and record sample to you guys :D also I will report my battery life (I have to do a battery calibration tonight).

HK time GMT+8 now is 12:11 and maybe 8 hrs later I will update.

The signal of this version seems very good (4x asu I saw before power off my defy)
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
At first: THANKS for the work!

Now, it seems not that much of a difference, but it's said it's a tuned MIUI. But I really don't like the theme, it looks strange "red" when you press something in the menus, but hey, you can change that :)

Also it seems to have installed 2 launchers, it asks me to choose one (MIUI / TWlauncher) at start.

And though it's not that expensive, it's a strange idea to get groupies to pay you for early beta access. How just about a donation?

Will play with this for a while and report back if I find something interesting!
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
It's to help raise funds so that we can develop for more devices, and giving access to the same betas that we use ourselves was felt to be a fair deal.

The betas aren't of the next release of Twooey, they are betas of our next major release, which we've called Chameleon. And there will be features included in the betas that won't make it to public releases until Chameleon itself is ready for release to the public.

On a side note, is it ok if I use your screenshots for the OP?
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
Sure, use the shots ;)

For the groupie-part - ok, sounds like another way to donate to you, and as "thank you", you get early access. As long as your final releases are public and free this seems fine :)

edit: forgot to ask, what's the story with two launchers on startup?
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
Is after flash phone already rooted or not ?
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
saw superuser-app, so I would say yep, rooted :P
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
Thanks for that :)

The story of the two launchers is because some people can't live without an app drawer, so we included TW 4.5 by fraggor for those who either can't get used to no app drawer or simply can't live without one.

And yes, it's rooted.
[Defy Android Development] SimboXXX:
Yeah, i don't see from the changelog what the big difference is between this and official. Does it have 720p record?

Can OP be more specific on differences, please?
[Defy Android Development] rafaccb:
I'm taking it for a spin right now but right off the bat I can report that the maxthon browser refused to show up although it was installed (i could open links and stuff). Ended up uninstalling with Titanium backup and downloaded again from market, now it's working fine - much faster than stock MIUI browser.
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
when i saw "green and red lens suport" i tough that u finaly made a 720p recodring custom rom

other then the cool boot animation and lock screen i dont see any difference from oficial miui
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
It's based on the custom framework that we made for the i9000 and i897 releases. The aim of it is to maximise performance and stability, maximise battery life and much more without making it any different in physical appearance from stock miui (other than the theme of course).

Speaking plainly, the vast majority of changes are under the hood.

To answer an earlier question, yes it has 720p recording.
[Defy Android Development] sferrariba:
For both red and green lenses?

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando XDA Premium App
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
u mean...will have coz i have red lense and i dont see that function in camera setings
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
Strange... It should support 720p recording for both red and green lenses. I'll get that looked into.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Seriously doubt that you actually made 720p possible for green lenses
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
I'm sorry about I have no much time to test this rom and I've just record a few seconds movie using my green len defy. Sorry guys.

Yes this rom just like a original MIUI rom but theme and apps are different. I will try to find out what the new framework does and benefits of it. :D

@sebx_g1 : Do NOT support Polish language. :(
[Defy Android Development] nameite:
If it has 720p recordig for green lens then I want it! :D
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
first of all thank you all guys from GALNET cos i follow them work on SGS i9000 since a long time ago, as long as the GALNET multilanguage pack works very well on my MIUI DEFY since the 1.6.x releases.

thats GREAT that we will have GALNET supporting Defy from now, we are proud of this, thank you guys for the effort.

It could be great that Defy have the same number of developers that SGS has, tons of ROMS ,this gives us the power of CHOICE!

EDIT: I will try the language packs from GALNET forum and will post feedback.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
YES IT WORKS, now my GALNET has my native language fully operational.

You guys join this topic

[Defy Android Development] hirano:
Hi fabiano. Is this ROM any better than stock MIUI? Did you get full PT-BR menus? Did you spot any other differences?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] vikrambharadwaj:
Does this support 720p recording using LGCamera on red lens?
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
It is more smooth than oficial 1.8.12, the miui launcher has more speed, i noticed that the default lag (cos miui is laggy in defy) when i press any app icon has reduced a lot. There are some english remaining but almost everything is in portuguese, even the notifications, except some system apps. The browser is personalized by GALNET team, and there are some other modiications, i think it worth a lot and im pretty sure that this will me by day-by-day rom.

EDIT: After trying the language pack sucessfully, i will try battery step from CM7 and CenterClockStatusBarMods-1.8.12.zip .
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
Both work very well, after a cache and dalvik wipe!:):):) now my Defy is kicking and it has more to come
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Review

I've been using MIUI.us, WajkUI and even tried out MotoGinger lately. All of them have given me no more than 13 hours of battery life with Data sync on, 3G on, BT headset, general browsing/facebook/twitter/G+, 30 minutes of talk time, 1 hour of GPS tracking while I run and 1 hour of music as average usage. This Rom is no different though I think it is rather smoother which might subjective considering I use Zeam as default launcher always. All in all I like it, though Swype stopped working and the proximity sensor is a tad slow. I'll continue testing and keep you all posted when I finish writing a post for indroid
[Defy Android Development] vikrambharadwaj:
It doesnt have 720p recording.. :( hope atleast the battery drain issue is not there..
[Defy Android Development] galnet:
Guys please remember this is the first official build of GalnetMIUI for the defy, there will be issues.

Overall though, for a first release of a custom framework, we must say that we are proud of what we have achieved.

I can reassure you that this development will start to gain vast improvements over the Stock MIUI.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
Installed it today over MIUI 1.8.12 (wipe cache and dalvik). Everything it's working fine by now. No major issues detected.

@galnet do you think you can include the library (system/lib) attached in the next release? This library displays the battery with 1% steps. I've also noticed there is a bug with the double USB icon, which was present also on CM7 some while ago. And last but not least thanks for your work and for bringing this to Defy!
[Defy Android Development] lmmfs:
This ROM supports PT-BR or PT-PT language????
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
yes, if you install Twooey Language Pack III, avaliable at galnet forum.
[Defy Android Development] lmmfs:
But,what is the language supported PT-BR or PT-PT????
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
both PT are supported.

you are welcome
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
Nice to see GalnutMIUI on defy..... at present using MS2ginger from walter... if someone can post whats the battery life on this rom .... cause ms2ginger with moderate usage i get around 30 odd hours tht too +/- deviations of usage .....

so how much battery backup is this giving on the base if someone can report it would be nice .... and @galnut thanks for Presenting Motodefy with this rom :)

I have noticed that after installing language pack radio app is still in chinese. Wiii it be translated ??

What language have you selected? I'm on English and the FM.apk it's fully translated.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
When it scans for radio stations it has some chinese letters.
[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
The battery is really good. Now i got 19 hours with 75%, in this time i use the phone this way:

1- 14 mins of calls;

2- display on 1 h 17 mins;

3- 17 min iGO;

4- wifi on 42 mins;

5- and rest is idle.

WOW, i think this is real nice specs.

I can't flash Galnet unfortunately :(. I had CEE 2.2.2 as base SBF. Is galnet made only for Nordic?
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I'm on Galnet MIUI atm and I'm coming from MIUI 1.8.12 which was installed over Froyo CEE, so it should work. Try to rename the zip files (replace spaces with - or _) if you have errors on install.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
Atm there is no support for "real" call recording on MIUI and CM7. It's working fine on leaked GB (details), but no one was able to fully port it on MIUI/CM7.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Thanks nepotu!
[Defy Android Development] rafaelw:
How is it going with this ROM? I was using Miui, but i'm was getting some reboots, and the callings are not goods, i needed to call at least 2 times to get it working, on the first i get like the number was turned off.

Than i get back to CM7
[Defy Android Development] mralimcb:
Thanks for porting this ROM to Defy! After a full day of usage I can confirm that it is indeed very speedy (not much lag like I get with other MIUI ROMs) even with my 70+ apps restored from Titanium Backup.

Can't comment on battery life as I didn't have time to calibrate on first use. Signal is very good (I couldn't get 2G at all on MS2Ginger even after using Basebandswitcher)

At the mo 720p recording is very choppy while the others work, but will stop playing on playback ("the video cannot be played" error)

Have gotten a few FC initially (TwLauncher a lot of times, xda apply once) but giving it a few days. I kinda like the red theme and the simple lockscreen too.

All in all, excellent work guys!
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I installed galnet ij the end but my device couldn't connect to wifi and for that matter, no other 1.8.12 based build didn't connect to wifi. So I'm back to cm7 latest nightly which ofc works.

Any ideas?

Also 3D performance was pretty poor on galnet.
[Defy Android Development] cslucian:
i've flashed this rom yesterday and i am very pleased of it.

thanks to the devs's that made this possible for defy

hope the new 1.8.19 update will be avaible very soon
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
how about rom manager support ?

there are 4 versions of miui already in rom manager now but this is missing
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
We will add in the defy when the next release is available.
[Defy Android Development] vikrambharadwaj:
Galnet, Can you please add the 720p patch u created for miui on this rom? The video records with very poor resolution :(
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
Galnet gave me the best battery life that I ever experienced in a mini environment. I'm at 21 hours of uptime and still 63% power remaining.
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
somehow i am experiencing battery drain... seems like the MIUI launcher is the main cause for tht... would caliberate battery once more and see if tht sustains or not ... or else i m doing something wrong :(
[Defy Android Development] lttldvl:
It'll take a few charge cycles to recalibrate your battery.
