This ROM doesn't work for me.

I have a Defy with the green lens. I followed the instructions in post #1, using the sbf and nandroid in this http://www.multiupload.com/40VYGGESIU link.

The phone booted up fine after flashing the sbf, and the battery (actually a non-standard one) was recognised. The camera didn't work, though, so I went back in to recovery and installed the greenbreadmod zip, wiping cache and dalvik as instructed. On rebooting after that, the battery wasn't recognised. I tried a number of different battd files in /system/bin but nothing worked.

I then tried installing the 3D fix customization zip, and after that the phone won't boot. The motorola logo came up, then the blue LED for sndinit lit up, then it changed to green. After a few seconds, the screen went completely blank and stayed that way until I pulled the battery.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] cardozclive:
I am still sceptic to try this rom. Plz tell me if everything in this rom works fine? Like 720p video recording for red lense on stock camera, panorama and does this rom has fancy screen rotation animation?
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
This is my 4th day with this rom. Very stable, Better Battery than Stock Froyo and Yes 720P recording works with stock app. But I am still trying to figure out how to change to encoding to MP4.
[Defy Android Development] tom11:
I had the same problem I installed the green bread mod and the camera worked fine but the battery wasn't recognised so I used a battd file from my stock froyo rom and it works fine
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Thanks, that gives me some hope! Which Froyo ROM did you have? I was using the unbranded UK 2.2.2 ROM JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR but I was thinking of flashing the JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR that Walter recommended.

Did you install the 3D fix customization zip as well? That seemed to bork my phone completely. I'm not actually sure why it's supposed to be a good thing to do.

I have no luck with face detection function.. do You guys have face detection working..?

red lens
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
for all of you that need battd here it is. battery life is pretty good( 2 and half days with moderate use-that includes about 50 min calls, 3-4 hours browsing over wifi, and 2-4 hours gaming) . 720p recording works with no problem(green lens). i'll try face detection and let u guys know if noone else post before me :)

good luck
[Defy Android Development] NITRO_100:
Mine works well.
[Defy Android Development] on2315:
720p recording works with no problem(green lens)????

How could you do that?
[Defy Android Development] tegezan:
with stock blur camera..?

can you tell me step by step how to use face detection function....?
[Defy Android Development] tom11:
I got the battd file from my stock 2.2 telstra rom and no I haven't installed the 3d fix and its working fine
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
I have nothing to do with that. Just did nandroid backup to instal the rom , changed battd and it works. The base is 2.3.4_128 defy leaked rom
[Defy Android Development] pprakash:
+1 Couldn't find where to enable Face detection yet.
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Thanks, at least I know not to bother about the 3D fix - since it seems to bork my phone.

But this battery issue is driving me nuts! I've tried six different battd files:

- the one from the Froyo ROM on my Defy

- the one from the intial Gingerbead ROM install on my Defy (since that

did

recognise the battery)

- the one from post #165 of this thread

- the one from post #168 of this thread

- the one from thread #1291332

- and one from somewhere I can't remember(!)

and none of them get the battery recognised :mad:

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong? I take the battd file I want to try, and drop it in /system/bin using ES File Explorer, replacing the battd file that's already there. Then I reboot the phone. (I've actually been rebooting the phone into custom recovery and wiping the cache and the dalvik cache before letting it reboot each time.) Nothing works! Should I be doing something different?

It seems to have been the Greenbreadmod that mucked up recognising the battery, though why that should have had anything to do with the battery I have no idea :confused: But it's only after I installed that zip that the phone refused to recognise the battery.

At the moment I have the choice of GB with a non-working camera and a battery that charges, or GB with a working camera and a battery that I can't change. Not much of a choice! I guess I'll have to go back to Froyo for now :( unless anyone has a bright idea??
[Defy Android Development] Citynomad:
Don't forget to set the rights for batd to RWX R-X R-X

Insall method with SOC green camera

1. Start from 2.2 Froyo (I use JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_CEE.sbf)

2. Root it.

3. Install CWM via 2nd-init from market. Put 4.5.1-134walter folder from this to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

4. reboot to recovery -> custom -> wipe data -> restore -> 4.5.1-134walter

5. reboot and press power+vol up for bootloader

6. Flash 4.5.3-109-fixed.sbf (first start takes several minutes)

7. Go back to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and install Greenbreadmod 1.1

8. (wipe cache and dalvik) and install NEW_3D-fix_customization

9. (wipe cache and dalvik and reboot)

where the hell is 4.5.1-134walter folder in the link in "this" ..this is the same file which is told in another forum of ms2 ginger 1.1

for green lens defy users

see this

Insall method with SOC green camera

1. Start from 2.2 Froyo (I use JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_CEE.sbf)

2. Root it.

3. Install CWM via 2nd-init from market. Put MS2Ginger1.1 folder from this to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

ms2ginger1.1

now i am confused what to do :(
[Defy Android Development] grannyrogers:
Make sure to set the correct permissions. It should be rwxr-xr-x

Then reboot.
[Defy Android Development] scottie1973:
its in the downloaded zip file,just extrct in you'll have 2 folders...
[Defy Android Development] luciferps:
@scottie1973

please read it carefully i have underlined and have made that content bold in order to specify

i am saying that both these forums have the same ms2ginger1.1 link

then whats new in this one??
[Defy Android Development] NITRO_100:
Yes with stock camera. Right now I'm testing again and it's working on low light condition. I enable it via settings, turn on self shot mode, and voila. The only problem with camera I have is recording in 720p when my phone after few seconds reboots.
[Defy Android Development] luciferps:
hey one more thing i need to know is that

i flashed my device green lens defy with the red lens procedure and live wallpapers and evrything is working except the camera ..when i use the lg camcorder and set the settings to 720p the phone starts the video recording and as i said my camera is showing black only ...so is this something we can do nwo for this ....

now do i need to install 3d fix ??? and gingerbreadmod ???? what exactly 3d fix does to my green lens defy and the gingerbread mod 1.1 please explain

thanx
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
OK, thanks, I didn't know that.

But it hasn't made any difference - the damn thing still doesn't recognise the battery :mad: TBH I'm starting to feel a bit paranoid about this. Everyone else seems to have fixed this problem and be happily Gingerbreading away. Why won't my phone play ball?
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
The bootanimation is disappear when use 3d-fix. It is a bug.

Device is not hangs, only you can see a blank screen instead of boot animation. You have to wait several minutes with this blank screen , when rom is started with first screen very first time.

Maybe you had a bit un-patient and pulled the battery earlier than rom could start.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Same method like ms2ginger but walter was a bit lazy to change link :S just copy-paste the method.

Use the method, but use the DOWNLOAD http://www.multiupload.com/40VYGGESIU link for files.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Do you need greenbreadmod for using camera. 3D fix for some 3D textures.

If you install 3D fix bootanimation will dissappear and only blank screen when device is booting. Be patient while booting, first time will be several minutes because wipe cache and dalvik.
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Thanks, that's probably what happened. I did notice that the screen wasn't dark, just blank but with the backlight on. I'll try again - but only if I can get the phone to recognise its battery first! Or should I apply the 3D fix and then try to fix the battery problem?

Is there a fix for the boot animation bug?
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
Unfortunately I don't know a solution for missing bootanimation. But if this will be the biggest bug I will be happy :) I never see bootanimation. Could it be anything, or nothing. I need stable rom without bugs after start ;)

One of the battd files must be good, many user use it without problem.
[Defy Android Development] luciferps:
man something is wrong in gingerbread mod 1.1 my graphix gone really low ..and i dotn want to apply that 3d fix that will loose my boot animation

still not clear what gingerbread mod 1.1 actually does and also the the 3d fix...

if we dont apply the gingerbread mod 1.1 and just simply install 4.5.1-134walter my phone works like a charm except the camera

so is there any way or patch that applies to camera only nothing else

??
[Defy Android Development] rubjonny:
well to follow up on this, I installed the battd and it seemed ok but then shortly after i bricked my phone by installing a dodgy battery 1% skin (my own dumb ass fault!) so i had to reset the phone again.

this time i didnt bother installing the battd patch and I've not seen the problem I had above again and my battery life so far is excellent, way better than the old froyo build I was running before. i think my problem was a glitch in my alarm clock software, either that we both slept right thru the low battery notifications :rolleyes:

so from my experience if you have a red lense normal defy there is no need to add the battd
[Defy Android Development] bvbfan:
Is there any guide how to add language to rom? Thanks, i used Liquidarc in my home language, bulgarian, it's better for me.
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
Unfortunately no other way for this at the moment. Only greenbreadmod and 3dfix.

Hope someone will develop new ones, because greenbreadmod is not updated quite a long time.
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
That makes sense, because you don't have to apply Greenbreadmod if you have a red lens camera. AFAICT it's GBM that mucks up the battery recognition - my phone recognised its battery perfectly well after the initial flash, but that stopped working after I applied GBM.

Agreed, and you're quite right that my phone did indeed reboot successfuly after applying the 3D fix, given enough time.

IT WORKS!!! I have finally and at last got my phone to recognise its battery - I used the battd file from post # 191 of this thread and it only went and blooming well worked first time :) I've no idea what was wrong with the other battd files (I may try a binary compare between them to see what the difference is) but I now have a green lens Defy running stock Gingerbread from the Defy+, with a working camera and battery which is even now charging merrily away. Hurrah!

Next thing on my list then is to take a nandroid backup so I can (hopefully) restore it if anything goes awry. Speaking of which: I was able to restore my Froyo nandroids quite happily whenever I got fed up with the GB battery problem and just wanted to go back to a working phone. I did take a nandroid of the phone running GB and this restored fine if the phone was running GB, but if I tried to restore it from the phone running Froyo it gave me an MD5 checksum error. The only way to go from Froyo to GB seemed to be to follow the process documented by Walter, including the sbf flash which of course requires a PC and cannot therefore be done "on the move". Is this correct or am I doing something (else) wrong?
[Defy Android Development] chab7:
I don't know about this. I always restore nandroid after a full 2.2 flash+root+cwm. This is the 110% sure method for me ;)
[Defy Android Development] evilinheaven:
+1... :(

Couln't find it too...
[Defy Android Development] luciferps:
@walter

if from gingerbread mod 1.1 we manually put the bin folder files app folder files and etc and lib folder files ...

without applying any patch and also the 3d fix patch

then can we get back the boot animation ? and live wallpapers and other things work ??
[Defy Android Development] boonhoong:
Try hitting the menu key when you're in the stock camera app?
[Defy Android Development] evilinheaven:
found it!

It is for self portrait stuff!! Great!

Thanks!!
[Defy Android Development] DroidXChat:
hi guys, i develop for MIUI.us for the Droid X. since our device is not a supported device, we port from other supported devices. we recently switched from the milestone (which is reaching the end of its life soon) to the Defy. I spent a week on it and got everything working perfectly, however we still have one bug -- the Camera. Basically, the camera app opens fine, but it doesn't respond to screentap or camera button, so it doesnt take pictures. it also has a max resolution of 5M, even thought he droid x is 8M. This is also understandable since it was ported from a device that is 5M. However, I was wondering if one of your dev's could please tell me which files hold the available resolutions. We're already using the correct droid x media_profiles.xml, are these available resolutions stored in the libraries or somewhere else in etc? thanks for your help.
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
props, and a couple of questions

OK, I have this ROM working pretty well now on my Defy with the SOC camera. Many thanks to walter79 for making it in the first place, and to free2live for providing the battd file which worked for me (I did run a binary compare of that file against the others I had tried and it is definitely different - I wonder where it came from?) I haven't tried the 720p fix but AFAIK all it would give me - since my camera can't do 720p record - would be 720p playback which isn't of much interest. Panorama mode does work but in a slightly strange way, as reported elsewhere.

I do have a couple of questions:

1) Does this ROM support four CPU clock speed/VSel settings, or only three? The bootmenu says the fourth setting is only available on 2.3.3 whereas this ROM is 2.3.4. CPU Spy only reports three CPU clock speeds.

2) What is the correct version of 2ndinit and Clockworkmod to use with this ROM? I'm getting MD5 checksum errors when I try to restore from CWM backups.
[Defy Android Development] free2live:
answer for your second question: correct version of 2nd init is 1.9 and cwm 0.86(latest). you will not get the md5 mismatch error. as for your first question: would would you overclock it?? is already at 1000mhz

best regards
[Defy Android Development] djkail:
Are there an app to edit auto brightness levels like CM7 menu? This rom doesnt have auto brightness editor...

And where is the % in batt? I installed this rom but batt is green... with no %... Do i have to path it with panorama fix? Or Is it already included? (I have red lens)

Thank you
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Hmm, those are the versions I have. Maybe I just got a corrupted CWM backup that time. That's one of the reasons for having the MD5 in the first place, after all.

Just wondering, really. It's quite fast enough for me as it is.

If u ask me its the best rom for defy...fast and stable....using it on defy red lense.

Did not notice any conflicts with applications.

What's the latest on this issue? I've successfully restored one CWM backup from this ROM (not an advanced restore) but another one did give me MD5 mismatch. I'm a bit worried about not being able to create a reliable backup to get me out of trouble if I do something silly...

UPDATE: I've run a number of subsequent CWM backups through Android File Verifier and they checked out OK so I took the plunge and tried to restore one of them. Success! I've also restored a Froyo nandroid, and then back to GB. Looks like it was just the one corrupt nandroid. Odd that a couple of other folks seem to have suffered from corrupted nandroids at a similar point in the process, though.

this rom is definitely a keeper for me. 14% battery left after 3days, 10 hours and 27minutes :D

I've mostly had it on standby, with the wireless and gps on at all times. I have done a little gaming, web browsing and market updates, plus i use it as an alarm every day and have taken some calls. its on night saver mode which is the default.

44% mobile standby, 43% phone idle, 7% wifi, 2% maps, 2% gps, 2% voice and 2% display.

waaaaaaaay better than the old official UK froyo build, i was lucky to get a day out of it no matter what I did

I would like to have this ROM on my Defy, especially after all reviews I read in past few days. I hope that battery can last more than 2 days of moderate usage (10-15 sms, wifi on, 3g, some calls, sometimes music for 2h max).

I'm on CMiui at the moment but I think this ROM is far better...MMS bug, FM FC and battery that last for 35h is not what I want from mobile phone :(

As I said, I think this ROM is better, but I miss one thing from MIUI/CM7 ROM:

when long press Power button I would like to have one more option: Reboot!

How to enable that? Can smn explain it to me plz?

No idea whether you can do that with this ROM. I use Quick Boot from the Market, saves munging the power button too often. It provides shortcuts for the home screen as well - but be careful, there's no "are you sure" dialogue with those!

I was just lookin at that app on Market :D

Will try it for sure...That one and widgetlocker to customize lockscreen...And then it should look like nice ROM, not Blur :D
