[Defy General] ezantera:
Can you give me your suggestion which 2.3.x rom to use. I need that battery last as long as on 2.2.2.

I had CM till rc 1.5 but i am really disappointed with battery... too bad.

:)
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Battery consumption depends on your Rom rather than what Build you're on. So you can use whatever 2.3.4 rom you may prefer. I'm using 4.5.3-109 as base as mentioned above.

I easily manage 24 hrs (heavy use) or 48 hrs (moderate usage) on CM7 rc1.5.
[Defy General] pravarth:
I tried both cm7rc1.5 and miui on 4.5.3-109 kernel. Both work on first boot only. Then the bootmenu gets replaced and wont boot again. I have to boot for the second time because i need to switch baseband. (India 3g patch doesnt work on cwm4)

My question is how to prevent the bootmenu being replaced? Basically make it work after reboots as well.

Would be really appreciated if someone can think of a workaround

EDIT: I just did the whole thing again and it worked
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Are you flashing a fixed sbf after installing CM7/MIUI ?

Or did you install a seperate recovery after updating to CM7?
[Defy General] pravarth:
I restored Walter's defy+ nandroid backup then flashed fixed sbf. Then I rebooted and went to custom recovery and installed cm7 from sd.

Does it work between reboots for you?

[Defy General] ryan8r:
Wierd! Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik cache after installing CM7?

Yes its been working perfectly ever since.
[Defy General] SpawNyK:
Good job, could you post your steps for installing cm7 on GB kernel please?
[Defy General] ryan8r:

[Defy General] hackergnome:
Tried CM 7.1.0 by cm team with this??
[Defy General] pravarth:
I dont know why it didnt work the last time but it worked now!

im on cm 7.1.0 stable and 2.3.4 kernel :D
[Defy General] testnumero:
hi

does 720p recording still working with cm7 ?

thanks
[Defy General] SpawNyK:
Thanks, but I was asking full steps, like what sbf to flash and how to root and what 2ndinit to install etc
[Defy General] pravarth:
Prerequisites:

-You need to have a any stock /custom rooted rom with 2ndinit(bootmenu) installed.

Instuction for how to do this are given all over the forum, please search.

-Download cm7 and copy the zip file into the sd card : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan

After that you will need the following things:

-install walter's defy+ rom:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285007

Instruction are given in that thread as well.

-After installing the defy+ rom, reboot go to recovery > custom recovery > wipe data/cache, then goto advanced> wipe dalvik cache

-go back and select install zip from sd card> select the cm7 zip in sdcard

-After installing wipe cache partition and reboot
[Defy General] hackergnome:
Walter rom is not important right?

Cm will install with .109 sbf too...
[Defy General] pravarth:
Walter's rom isn't specifically required. Any other gb rom should work.

As of now 109 kernel works.

Haven't tried on other gb kernels.

Some questions :)

Is there any significant difference by using official cm7 rom with a gingerbread rom as base?

Why does the official cm7 rom work with a gingerbread rom and the cm7 port from quarx and co not? Are the base files overwritten during the cm7 flash progress?

If I flash a gingerbread leak und flash official cm7 over it what do i have to do in case i want to go back to quarx cm7 ?

Any answer is welcomed :)

PS:Sry for my bad english
[Defy General] pravarth:
I've tried both official cm7 and rc 1.5. Both worked. If you want to go back all you have to do is flash the old zip in recovery.

[Defy General] ryan8r:
Now on official CM7.1.0 installed using 4.5.3-134 DFP74 as base.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
System and Boot is replaced and I believe the build remains the same. This is just to let ppl know you don't have to flash froyo over and again in order to install CM7.
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
has anyone noticed any difference? increase in battery life or something else?
[Defy General] pravarth:
No difference, so if you have a defy i dont see any point in doing this unless you would want to switch nandroids b/w this and defy+ rom withouth flashing fixed sbf.

For defy+ users, they wont need to go about installing froyo -> cm7

Im excited to see if this kernel could finally bring 720p recording into cm7/miui :D
[Defy General] civicvx94:
Hey @Ryan8r you helped me out in a previous thread when I sbf'd to GB..I'm went through the long process to downgrade to Froyo then flashed MIUI and it runs awful, so I'm going to try this method now..

Should I just sbf back to a 4.5.3-109 base and then flash CM7 or am I still able to go thru these steps?

Thanks alot man..hoping this results in a much more stable rom..

Edit..

So i'm trying to figure out exactly how to do this before I screw something up..

If i'm already on 4.5.3-109 - then there is no need to install Walter's rom + the fixed sbf, since you already have those files on the phone, right? And that step is only for people on Froyo who want to keep the ability to downgrade?

Since I've already (accidently) sbf'd to 4.5.3-109 - I can just root, install custom recovery, boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, then flash CM7, wipe cache and reboot?
[Defy General] civicvx94:
Bump..

I suppose it couldn't hurt if i restored the nand, then flashed the fixed sbf then flashed cm7..Might do that just to be safe.

I'm just not sure what direction to go since I already sbf'd to GB and downgraded to Froyo..
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Precisely. Yes.

[Defy General] twa_priv:
Hi ryan8r,

I'm currently on MSGinger 2.0 (came from CM7) - installed it to see how well HD recording works on a bayer defy.

MSGinger is already rooted and has 2ndInit/CWM installed. So to go back to CM7 all I need to do is wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash CM7, right?

I don't mind flashing CEE or 179-4 again but above would be a little faster.

Thanks
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Shouldn't be a problem, I've myself flashed CM7 onto MS2Ginger couple a times.

Sent from Android 2.3.7
[Defy General] civicvx94:
So i'm getting an error when i go to flash CM7

"E:Can't make /tmp/update_binary"

and then installation aborts...

Any idea what could cause this?
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Try using later version of Custom recovery.

Sent from Android 2.3.7
[Defy General] civicvx94:
Ok.. will give that a shot tmrw..I just downloaded the SndInit apk off here and used that.

In the mean time I installed Walters Defy+ rom along with the camera fix for green lens, and the camera works but then the battery got a "?" on it and when I plug it in to charge, it says "invalid battery and battery wont' charge"?

Any idea what that's about? So now I'm in the process of sbf'ing back to stock 4.5.3-109 and hoping it fixes the battery so she can at least use the phone..

Edit

Nevermind, i found a post that hopefully will solve this if I experience it again..

[HTC EVO 3D] SnackoDog:
Yes, same here. I have a paid copy of TiBu, but don't see anything called Backup Desktop Layout, or anything like that. :confused:

EDIT:

Found the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it did backup my pages and icons, but not widgets. Can't backup TouchWiz widgets at all I am seeing. A slight annoyance, but I'll get over it and check out launchers. From what I have read, replacing your default stock launch does not put another layer over the UI. It replaces it! So, it should not cost extra memory, battery, etc..
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
You can also use Nova Launcher (Prime), which imports the layout of your own launcher, and then you can back it up.

Still the best launcher imo.
[HTC EVO 3D] SnackoDog:
Thanks, I am checking out the free version now. And also that ADW one as well.

I did find out that I can backup the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it will restore the pages and icons, but not the widgets.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
+1 on Nova Launcher Prime

backs up widgets too
[HTC EVO 3D] jcsy:
Without prime, u can't back up ?

I bought nova prime on sale and use nova now, without knowing the limitations

Yes, the backup, restore is superb

The importing from other launchers too

And widget restorations

And lastly, decent customization

[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Concerning cell data speeds, rooted ROMs are no faster than the current stock ROM. You're probably seeing the same slowdowns that a lot of us in H+ areas experience from time to time - the problem is the network, not the phone or ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Agreed. Ever since att has enabled hspa+ capabilities, I think back in April, the inspire has been capable of the best speeds the network has to offer. Stock Rom and rooted roms both have the necessary "build.prop" to run hspa+

No it's not showing in task manager.

Same exact thing happened to me 4 or 5 days ago. Out of nowhere it just started yelling who was calling or texting me and it was very annoying.

How I fixed it: settings>voice input and output>text-to-speech settings>uncheck driving mode.

The only thing I can figure is somehow after connecting my phone to my car to play music somehow this driving mode setting got stuck on. But since turning it off I'm back to normal.

Flash a custom rom through odin or a stock rom if you prefer but it will need to be done through odin

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkiwi:
Did you do a full titanium backup ? If so, it might be faster to reflash the firmware and do the full restore...

If you was freezing the launcher instead, you could just wipe data (factory reset) then do a full restore.

Do you have access to the external sd ? If so you could ask someone to provide update.zip which has a twlauncher.apk then flash it via CWM. This could work :)

Good luck.

I have recently bought 3 batteries on eBay sold as Samsung original "bulk" (without the blister). The stock one which I got with the phone says "made in Japan" and weighs 33 gr. these other ones say "made in Korea" and weigh 27 gr. so the question is: does anyone know if original batteries are made in Korea too and how much they weigh?

TIA!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
If they are not the same weight or less they cannot be original
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
That's what I was thinking too but was looking for confirmations..

:(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pbrown77:
My original battery is made in Korea and finished in China - weighs 32.8g

The supposed 1800mAh ebay battery (1400mAh hour from online testing) - weighs 29.8g

It appears your Korean battery weighs less than my original and also my cheap ebay battery which is a surprise.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
Oh yes forgot to add: all of them say "finished in China".

Anyway what's still making me unsure is that these batteries come from a reputable eBayer who is also selling lots of (for sure) original Samsung stuff. Moreover, other reputable eBayers are also selling the same "bulk" batteries...

They are selling for € 15 compared to the other ones coming in the blister which are going for € 19.90. I would have much more happily bought these other ones but they were out of stock anywhere the moment I bought mu SGSII and now I am not sure what to think about (and what to do with) these batteries..... :(

Sheesh..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
The original one which came with my phone says made in Korea finished in China. Where it is made if no indication wether if it's original or not. This is mine. Can you post pics of yours so I can see and compare with mine?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
I asked about Korea because shouldn't original batteries being made there too it would have been a first sure indication of it being fake ;)

Anyway, apart from the weight there are a couple of subtle differences between the 2 series of batteries but I am not sure they are clearly visible from the photos.

The connectors are slightly different (a bit narrower on those "made in Korea") and the stickers on the batteries have upper corner cutouts on the stock one while they have not on the "Korea" ones.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
Based on the batteries I've seen going hunting for original ones I think the one on the right is the original one. odd because all the batteries I've seen that are original are made in Korea.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
The one on the right?? The one on the left is the stock one which came with the phone in a sealed package and which weighs the apparently "correct" 33 grams!! :D

Anyway, I have contacted the eBayer and I am sending them back at my expense and buying 3 new ones in blister (which he now has available) :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SAlmighty:
I've seen authentic Samsung batteries for the Galaxy S2 made in the following areas,

Made in Korea

Made in Korea, Finished in China

Made in Japan, Finished in Korea

Made in Japan, Finished in China

its all about supply and demand

From what you posted, what you purchased seem to be legit to me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
I would never recommend buying any batteries off eBay whatsoever your very likely to get burned.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
In fact the issue, here, is not where it's made (it's now clear Korea is a legit origin and that never was what really troubled me) but the weight. 6 grams lighter, that's a lot for an item of 33 grams! :eek:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
True but sometimes, and especially for very new smartphones, it's not easy to find them locally.. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
To be sure of an original get from a trusted seller or have your Samsung service center order one for you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
Is weight seriously a consideration? Let me weigh mine when I get home. will report back in a bit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
Amazing! You were right all along. The original battery that came with my phone made in Korea is exactly 33 grams! And the spare original battery I bought from a local store where they offered 6 months warranty is also 33 grams. I kinda doubted the store (although there was warranty and it came with retail packaging wasn't cheap though - $47) but now I believe them!

Edit: Both made in Korea finished in China. Finish and build identical (the one that came with the phone and the spare).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pbrown77:
And just to add more confusion, my 33 gram original Korean (finished in china) battery label looks the same as the one on the right in your picture, although this is a possible design change unlike the 6g lighter spec
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prinzhernan:
Mine also looks like his battery on the right. I think the important thing to consider is the weight?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xdapao3:
I did not give much weight (pun intended :P ) to these cosmetic differences. These are, after all, "internal parts" and design changes happen all the time and cosmetic differences are almost a given when the parts are from different sources..

but

that's the thing, 6 grams over 33 are a "major" spec change if it was genuine. Imagine being able to tout an even lighter SGS2.. That new POS iPhone 4S is just 3 grams lighter and they are advertising it as "faster, lighter ecc" :D

Point is, specs like these don't just change this much from one factory to another.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyveryx:
Not sure if you're problem is the same as mine. But i was having similar issues. I tried every possible file to NVFlash it. I was stuck in APX mode and nothing was changing it.

Then I made a last ditch effort, you see I was using an extension cable with my USB cord. Once I plugged the cord from the GTab directly into a port of it's own all of the files I was using to NVFlash would work, without fail.

So I would try making sure that your downloads are fresh and complete, and then just making sure that your cable is plugged directly into a port, and perhaps switch ports. It worked for me, and who knows, it might for you.

Good luck.

Hi Guys,

I have the strange problem. I am using InsertCoin 1.1.4 with snq's kernel.

All is working fine. But the problem is sometimes any installed application disappeared automatically. I have installed several applications so it get noticed when I need to execute that application. I don't find it neither in application drawer not in manage application menu.

When I search again that specific application in android market then the only option available is to install it again, means my application has been uninstalled otherwise I would get the option to open or uninstall it.

anyone faced this problem, or what could be the reason.
