I'm using VTL laucher atm - as it fits my needs best - after testing a lot i figured out - there are not that gr8 differences between: adw, launcher pro, vtl, zeam

but keep 2 things in mind if u want performance:

1. deactive live wallpaper - made the app launcher sluggish on each of those lauchers - wihle running smooth with static wallpaper

2. keep the widged and screen count low - as each widget is running its own background service and takes mass memory (compared to the 265mb the 101 has) I had weather, facebook, calender, clock + 3 or 4 other widgets on my 101 and it horribly slowed down the device -> response time went down. So I rather go with just 1 screen and just 3 widgets and have a nice and smooth device

btw i wouldnt buy laucher pro atm - as development stopped some time ago as it seems.

For VTL there is the version 1.6.5 free here at xda-developers just search for it - if u like it u still can buy 1.7.0. if u need the changes made

[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
First of all, I would like to thank everyone involved in making our Defy's so awesome.

Thanks to you all, as after getting all the info and help, I was successfully able to

upgraded to CM7 1.0-RC1.5-jordan-signed, and after few initial hiccups everything is working fine. Except the battery drainage issue. And I have been loving the new look and feel of my Defy ever since.

Today Morning. I've started getting a new problem. Whenever I want to call someone and I go to contacts, it force closes itself with following error:-

"The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I have restarted the phone and no respite from the problem.

Help please....
[Defy General] tdlr:
Did you change something or install a new app immediately before this started to happen ? Did you restart your phone while it was still connected to the PC or so? Some other people solved this problem by doing a factory reset. But you need to find the specific reason or cause in your case and correct that.
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Well, the last thing I did last night was that I installed two ADW themes. and also downloaded few wallpapers.

Do you think, the themes could have created this problem?
[Defy General] tdlr:
As there is, according to my information, no standard cause for this problem, everything could be the reason. Other people reported this error on different devices too and the reasons were diverse.

Some have had the problem after installing a new app, others due to rebooting the phone while it was still connected to the pc. Others made a factory reset and then it worked again and the true reason was never found.

It won't kill you to try and disable/uninstall the new themes or wallpapers (if they are live wallpapers).

Maybe there is another specific well known reason for that out there. In this case I simply don't know one.

If you're lucky, others had the same problem and have identified a more precise cause. Then they will answer hopefully.

I would try to undo the last things you changed before and find out the true cause.
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Will uninstall the new themes.

And as you said, Factory reset. If I do that, what exactly will happen.

Asking this because as mentioned before, I'm no longer on the version which came with phone and I am on CM7. so Factory reset will take me to which phase?
[Defy General] tdlr:
Have a look here: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...00/~/defy---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset

You may also try fixing permissions before with Rom manager.
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
well the link tells me what will happen on a stock rom. My question is. If I factory reset on CM7, will it take me to the original state or the default settings of CM7.

You can flash any CM7 directly via recovery menu if yer on Froyo.
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Recenty started getting few more issues.

1.> Phonebook crashing because of FC's. I'm hardly able to use my phonebook now

2.> Last night, messages stopped working. Again FC's.

3.> Today morning the native camera application stopped working.

And I have done following to overcome all the issues with no luck:-

wipes all cache including devik.

Did factory reset

reflashed with CM7 jordon 1.5

All failed to give me any respite from the errors.

Now I have downloaded cm7-110923-0710-Nightly.

Do let me know if this is an OK one. I've faced way too many errors and afraid of showing it off to anyone now as It might crash anytime.
[Defy General] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Much to my disappointment, even flashing to newer nightly, I'm still getting the same errors.

Can someone provide me the 3.4.3-36-1.7 SBF? the one in the link provided earlier is not working.

Or any other solution.

The errors are way too much to ignore, and if this continues then I have to go back to Froyo. But I seriously love the new feel of the phone. All thanks to CM7.

Green Power seems to make a huge difference. I'm a pretty big user of Netflix, HBO go, etc. over wifi and before Green Power I was getting about 6-8 hours, had to charge once before bed at least.

I've done no formal testing, but now it usually still has at least 30% charge when I go to bed without any type of mid day charge.

Green Power wouldn't turn my mobile data back on today, but I was in a weird place with a very weak signal and also a weak wifi signal. I manually toggled wifi and mobile data came back. Other than that, no problems

If you are talking about the option on the app itself to use either your Sprint number or GV no you will not lose your GV number.

Hello Devs,

does anybody of you know something about a limit of the (text) entry length in the Android data base? Please excuse me if I have not the right terms available, because I'm not an android developer (yet). I want to explain the issue I have:

I use the app "Note Everything Pro" for storing encrypted text notes on my Samsung Galaxy S. As long as I used Gingerbread 2.3.3 (JVB), everything was ok. Now I updated to 2.3.5 (JVS) and now there seems to be a new limitation: at import from file a longer text is cut off at 9000 characters. And, if this is encrypted, the decryption will fail. The developer of the app says that on Samsung (and maybe also other) firmwares (?) there is a new limitation at 9000 characters for an entry. Furthermore, because encryption needs even more characters than the original text, the encrypted note will be corrupted when stored into the database and cannot be decrypted anymore.

I ask here because the developer of the app has obviously no solution for this issue, he recommended to split the note into smaller pieces.

I use the App also on a Samsumg Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) and there is no issue with the length of the notes.

Does anybody know about that, and maybe a solution for it?

Regards,

Dirk

Hi all...

I saw this thread already on other forums, but there was not enough detail to explain the trouble, so this topic.

I am affraid there is a trouble on some devices when you update to 2.3.4 (GENERIC GLOBAL) then downgrade to 2.3.2 (GENERIC GLOBAL) with the reason of ROOT them, battery looks dead, but is not.

I saw on the forum in two different devices already, and yesterday it happened to me as well.

So I tell you what I've done, and I really hope there will be a solution.

- my phone (MT15i) shown me a message, that there is a new software available. I wanted to try how is that, so I made a system backup, relocked the bootloader and then I updated via SEUS. Everything was fine, with it, except that little problem, that I wanted my baby to be rooted.

- downgraded to 2.3.2 (GENERIC GLOBAL) via SE Flashtool 2.9.1, to complete the GingerBreak treathment (I've done this due to the locked bootloader)

- GingerBreak has been successfuly completed, phone restarted, battery were on 0%, I knew this can be normal, so I switched off, removed the battery for 1 min and restarted.

- And the nightmare began: THE BATTERY STAYS ON 0% and the phone goes off. If I plug the device to the mains, stays on, looks like is charging, but it does not.

I've tryied other battery same issue. I tried my batteries in other NEO, the were perfectly fine.

Funy is, I unlocked the bootloader again, and I can do any operation with my phone like such a ClockWork Recovery or flashing it, but I can not start the ANDROID O/S a without mains.

Please guys help me, and those who have the same experience with Arc/Neo/X10.

Many many thanks.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] joesser:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Raoa:
Yeah i've rooted all my FWs with RootXperia.zip

OTA is if you have locked bootloader, the whole method of going back to 2.3.2 is to not unlock bootloader and get root. To go through that with already unlocked bootloader is like going around when you could go straight.

The reports of, oh wait... this is not the first time OTA bricks phones. Wasn't it with 2.3.3 Arc update as well. So why do people fall to same trap?

Really there's enough relevant information on Arc forum, read up before doing something you don't need to do. It's a phone so thrashing around with flashing in any random way will end with bricked phones. It's your fault for not reading up and thinking well. SE might do something stupid with all these people bricking their phones in ways and for a reason they should not.... for customer protection. That would suck for us all.
