To use my word of the day, yes, this is being "uber" difficult to do. Anyone that want's to see where my phone progress is at can check out FedEx's website with this tracking number. 795366278313 . At the time that I posted this it had just left Bend, OR. on it's way to Texas.

++++++++UPDATE++++++++

I forgot to mention, I almost had the camera working. It previewed, it clicked, it saved to the gallery! But exit the camera and it was gone. GONE! Just poof into nothing! I swear. I took like 20 pics almost at the same time, like 1 or 2 mins apart! Saw them all in my gallery in the camera, exited and went to the phones gallery and nothing! I searched all over the file system of the phone and nothing! No trace of anything. Getting close I think.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
So that this means that you are receiving your phone again? working?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using defy camera app with gingerblur, Im able to take photos, a file is saved, but it has nothing on it. You can see file in gallery, but no image.

I made a logcat sometime ago, and I saw something like we are working with a jordan (defy) library which needs to be changed.
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
Hmmm so what happens if we replace the library?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
We have been matching some libs long time ago, but no success!
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
That sounds great! So what changes exactly did you make to get this close?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I have been doing somethings with walter79, trying to make camera works and trying to port some other MS2ginger (gingerblur) to bravo!

But still nothing, defy has more libs camera files, because there are two versions of the camera for defy (green and red lens) so its not easy, I really hope we get it soon.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Me too!
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I've been thinking that maybe should try porting some rom directly from MILESTONE 2, I dont know if M2 have the same problems with different lens colors, but if not it should be easier to get camera working matching some libs.

@BravoMotorola Is there any rom that you can port some rom?

That maybe must be what we need!!!
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
I don't think it has to do with lens differences. If it had to do with that then I don't think the camera would even show a picture.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I say that because of the files and libs it uses, sometimes you can see some roms which has 720p recording for green lens and not red.

I mean, there are many files in the defy roms to match with the camera depending on the lens colors, maybe in the M2 roms there arent such files and it can be easier to match libs and get camera working.

Just saying, I'll try to port some M2 rom to my bravo and if it works I'll try to match some libs.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Yeah maybe. Well lets try it out.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well truth be told I was removing alot of the Libs from CM and replacing them with the stock libs on the Bravo. Was doing the same with the permissions and I think the com and another folder. Need to take note's :mad: . My phone is in Texas now getting looked at by Motorola. New tracking number now. 1102783078. This is the one to see where it's at on repair at Motorola it's self. Life update, sold acouple of my old phones and bought a computer desk. Wife happy that she get's her dining room table back, pissed because she lost a corner of the dining room. I say good trade off.

@BravoMotorola

Is it possible for you to get me the Bravo Stock Rom in another format besides...... CRAP!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: ALL MY FILES ARE DELETED! Back to 1.:mad: NEVERMIND! First smart thing i've done in awhile. BACKUPS! Saved everything on 3 CD-Rom's. OK. Back. @BravoMotorola Now as I was saying, Stock Bravo rom in an update.zip format would be great if it's possible. Pretty pretty please!:o My computer can now look at differences in file folders and make changes to one based on the other. A little faster than me copying and pasting everything.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Another odd thought occured to me. What if we took the entire lib from the bravo and placed it into the CM7? Not combine the two but just take out the CM7 and replace it? :confused: I need my phone back now. Ebay another one? Hmm.... Somebody else try in the meantime please and report findings here. Oh Oh try and google some program that will explore the root system of our phone on a computer. Kinda like back in the day there was P2K editor for all of our really old phones (Like all of my Razrs). I don't think P2K works for the bravo, too new of a phone system? I've been back to "school" on ModMyMoto.com for my other phones and there's a Bravo section on it but never really looked into it since I don't have my Bravo at the moment. Pot of coffee on now diving in.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
M3 the old school hehehe modmymoto, I was one of the first members in that page, back in early 2007, I modded my V550, V557, V3, L7, I dont remember how many motos I had. But I did great things there!!

But going back to our problem with camera, I found a program (MyPhoneExplorer) which does that, I know I have other but I dont find it now.

But you can always use adb commands instead, is very uncomfortable but you can do lots of things.

I'll try what you said ASAP, but what I told you in M3 may be the solution, port from another which is not defy.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Lol just use root explorer. I usually just make a system dump to look through though. And yes it's been tried just for the hell of it, but there's way to many variables and it resulted being stuck at the Moto screen. Didn't even make it to the boot animation.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Hmmm...... Ok. What are we doing wrong? I've been kinda cheating and talking to Motorola themselves and trying to apease them enough to let some of us Beta test a Gingerbread version of the Bravo. Not enough luck in the world looks like. But if it did ever happen and I get my Bravo back with Gingerbread on it how would it be possible to leak it?

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Or am I just barking up the wrong tree like my stupidly smart dog?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
mmm insteresting, but being honestly, do you think that they could release something more for bravo? I think that they dont have even a beta of gingerbread for us, I mean they left in dark the all mighty defy, imagine this. :confused::(

But lets hope they do it for the good of us :o, but I think that its our hard work that is gonna let us enjoy the triumph
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Official Motorola Gingerbread would help a ton. Gingerbread for the Bravo will never happen though. They don't support low end "messaging phones". We are lucky that we even got 2.2 for the Bravo.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Ya I think that we might have to find a diffrent phone for a port. Any ideas? Alot of places say the Droid stuff works similer to Bravo.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Yeah but then it seems like why would the Droid stuff work any better for the Bravo then the Defy does? If we can take a straight Defy rom and get it to boot on the Bravo without any modifications, isn't that pretty close?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
It is, but the camera problem will be always there.

We should try it at least, even if we got nothing else working than the camera, just to know what kind of libs and files we have to use from stock bravo.

There are many things to do and try here! We cant be left behind just because we use a low-end phone (not so low :p)

I'll try to port some rom from M2, if I get it working then I'll try camera libs!
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Great. I'm thinking that I may have to pause for awhile and get a better computer to do this stuff on. My old, old, ooolllddd, laptop is starting to really slooooooooow down and have some odd temper tantrums. It's 10-11 years old, I don't blame it. The motherboard is prob melting from the work i'm making it do.

Ok. Idea to try. Take Stock Gingerbread from Droid, just not the new Razr. ! or 2 may work. Pull out the libs and replace the CM7 one with it. Worth a shot to see what happens? Might have to have more than one port from diffrent phones to make a full CM7. Mabye 7 ports :p? Ugg. Need to go to bed. Night.

GUESS WHAT! FEDEXpress TRACKING CODE!

490589523322

Go figure, when I'm just about to log off I check the status. Lets see if it's fixed or not. Hope so. Also. Anyone able to get there hands on the Eclair .sbf for me. Don't ask. I just want to know where we've come from.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
There's no 2.1 sbf for the Bravo. If you're wondering what it's like it's just like 2.2 Blur but a little slower. Pretty much everything else is the same except some small 2.2 features.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well I just got my phone back. I think it has Eclair. Not sure. No red (M) logo. White says MOTOROLA. Well, I got something like a phone. Looks like one, but I need my Subsidy code for it. AT&T don't have it. Odd. My phone I have found out is not my old one but a brand new one. Needs new code.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
I doubt they'd ship it with Eclair. Just go to Settings - about phone.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
I had a strange thought come across me. I couldn't get into the phones umm...... What's it called menu......... Boot menu. Hold vol. down push power, little android guy. Push vol. up and down at same time..........Doesn't work, hold vol down push lower right of screen....... Works! Eclair? Or Ginger? Oooooooo...... BTW It says Firmware version 2.1-update1
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Great to know you have the phone back, here I am.

Why dont you flash 2.2? Remember we need to continue working :p:p:p

remember you can go to forum.motofan.ru/index.php?showtopic=178854 and get the code for free!!
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
I would if my power was on. Crap apartment. Crap power. Crap snow.

And now i'm charging it so I can install the 2.2 system. BTW I did find out about this. It doesn't make the phone a 2.3 but it's something. Mostly it would be for the people that use CM7 and don't want GO Launcher.
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
it looks like adw launcher to me... but wtih the ginger bread app drawer layout which i like a lot thanks.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Well CM7 uses ADW. And what sucks is that the stock 2.3 launcher is blurry on anything above 2.2.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well I don't know if it's adw or what but a friend of mine has a phone with Ginger on it and the launcher looks just like her's. I'm just putting it out there if people use the CM or MIUI or whatever and want the standered Ginger launcher. Looks really good on my Bravo. A really cool AT&T rep put me onto it. She actulaty has T-Mobile as a service provider, NOT AT&T. Funny, huh?
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
lol, i thought she would atleast get a discount off stuff for working at at&t
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well she did tell me that she's had T-Mobile for the past 7 or 8 years and she's a supervisor too. I just really did a n00b thing. Forgot to install Gapps before CM7. God I really feel like a n00b. maby i'm just really really tired.

Ok ya I am really tired. I couldn't find my phone plugged in just over my shoulder.

Coffee time! YA!

​
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Ok i'm having a strange problem. I have the gapps installed, the 2.2.1 sbf from here, rooted, busybox, su, su binary, all updated, and 2indint. Well, I boot into 2indint, recovery, custom recovery, wipe user data, wipe cache, advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe batterystats.bin, back, install from sd card, choose file, CM7_V2.zip, Yes install CM7_V2.zip, Installed, Choose file from sd card, Junkfood.zip, Yes install Junkfood.zip, installed, Reboot, Reboot normal, booted.

Ok now after all that it's on, working fine, can do anything I want. Until I go to do any type of power cycle on the phone:

Pull out the battery; power off

Power Button, power off, ok; power off

Power Button, Reboot, Ok; Power off.

Now that's all supposed to happen but when the phone powers on it's stuck at the beginning Motorola screen and does not boot, ever. Even 2indint can't do anything.

Power Button, Vol down at blue led, 2ndint boot menu, recovery, latest, ERROR: RECOVERY.SH NOT FOUND, stable, ERROR: STABLE_RECOVERY.SH NOT FOUND, back, boot, 2ndint boot, ERROR: NOT FOUND, 2ndint whatever, ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND, Stock recovery, ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND, Normal, (Motorola Screen forever). Remove battery, power off. Replace battery, plug into charger, Battery gage w/ ?. WTF! Never turn off my phone or what?

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

And I tried the market update 2.3 launcher on CM7_V2 and it looks just like Gingerbread to my friend. She did ask me why it looked diffrent to her phone in the settings menu and the about phone menu. I think it may well be a leaked 2.3 home launcher just hacked to work on 2.2.1 and down. Need to email the dev on that one later.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Am I just being stupid and forgot a kernal or something i'm supposed to have befor CM7 or MIUI? Both will not "Stick" on my phone at all. I used the 2ndint, wiped everything, installed gapps, installed CM7 of MIUI, both load perfect. After a reboot, utter failure. I'v done this like 8 or 9 times and have to keep going back to stock with the 2.2.1 sbf. At least I can deblur with the eebluroffee code.

NEED MORE COFFEE!

​

I drank a whole 12 cup pot last night trying to figure this out. Don't worry guys, still working on the camera, just going back, way back. SOAB! Have to recharge again! Oh well, plug into home charger and just run my stereo through it really cranked up to annoy the loud a** people next door. I really like CM7's V2 sound DSP manager. Can really tune the s**t outta this phone.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Let me ask you first about the eebluroffee code, I used once in my backflip and my cliq and worked, but I thought it wouldnt work here in bravo, I tried but no success.

Did you first release the keyboard and typed this?

----------------------------------------------

Ok now, tell about your progress in the camera. I wasnt able to port milestone 2 cm7 to bravo, maybe I missed something or maybe Im very noob :D

I was thinking about decompile the blurcamera.apk (in gingerblur) and camera.apk (in cm7) and look for the files the camera is connected to.

I've been very busy last days, but I will try it soon!!
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Now that sounds like something. But isn't there more that just blurcamera? I thought I saw something else. Try it and run with it. I just gave up trying to use the CM7 roms here and took on outta defy and did a port. Took awhile but at least it's working. Need to do the signal fix now, then on to camera.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well I ported myself a new defy rom and tweeking the hell outta it. If someone else can get can working before me so be it. I don't know if it matters but defy has a flash and bravo doesn't. Every time I used something that uses a flash I fc'd.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Oh ya, eebluroffee does work. I looked at my accounts page and had a tab called blur account but nothing there!
[Bravo General] marquae11:
What defy rom are you using?
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
^That's just one I found on the Defy forums and did acouple of tweeks for bravo. I have a copy that i'm tweeking more, almost ready for my testing, I think. Still can't get the signal working right. Have an app for that anyway. And what the hell file do I have to edit or change to make this thing register as a MB520 anyway. Pissing me off. And I am really pretty at code, but there's just sooooo much of it here. Alot of junk code too that needs to be out of here. Not so great at HTML or SCRIPT or C+ or C++. I'm not making a web page!

Does everybody else have this kernal version? I cant remember my old one but i'm having odd problems. Are there any other kernal's for the bravo or defy? Hmm....
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
@josuearisty I found what I was talking about, there are two files for the camera in froyo, blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.

Somebody give me a crash corurse in logcat would be great and i'll be doing things faster when I know what to look for.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
@Junkyardjames87 about blurcamera.apk, I have it deodexed, so that you can work directly with blurcamera.apk and not with the odex file.

I have it now in ms2ginger, do you need a logcat now?

-----------------------------------------------

About signal on your bravo, did you copy the folder I told ya to you bravo rom?

I think you should install defy baseband switcher and try "china ME7**" dont remember, but that was the way I got better signal and 3G working (Im not in US).

about kernel for bravo, I think you maybe need the source code, because I never saw anybody here modifing the kernel, maybe it needs some tweaks also.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Huh? Why are you working at getting CM7.1 working properly for the Bravo when it's already working here? And if you want it to be "MB520" (doesn't really bother me) edit the build.prop with Root Explorer.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
@Junkyardjames87 yes, just like @BravoMotorola said, why dont you use his cm7 rom, everything is working there.

@BravoMotorola have you been speaking with walter79? I have some days that I dont speak with him, we are not coinciding to chat at the right time.

We need to work with this guy to get camera working, well its difficult because he doesnt own a bravo.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Ok now I want to know if this is good or not?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
@Junkyardjames87 I think its good :D

It seems to be that now you got the signal working :)
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
cool right?

No, I haven't. Do you think he'll be the one to get it working?
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
I'm trying too but we arin't on at the same times eather.

Anyone figure out what files are used by blurcamera.apk? I don't have the power to deodex.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
It's completely twined in with the Blur framework. There is no use trying to get anything Blur working on AOSP, CM7. Blur applications only work on Blur. Now, you COULD try to get Blur camera working on GingerBlur.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Well, what if we put a really neutered blur on it for just the camera.

Understandably that's not what we're wanting.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Everything relies on everything, and you can't just mix framework. In CM7 it's impossible to implement any part of Blur into it, (That thing relies on one thing that relies on another thing that relies on another thing... you'd basically find yourself replacing everything in the file system with Blur, making it Blur and ridding it of anything CM7...if you were to try) are you talking about Gingerblur or what? I don't think I understand what you're saying...
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
That's what I was saying. For a CM7 Tom we don't want to put everything blur on it. That would just make a gingerblur. What does the stock camera use on a phone w/o blur? We may need to endup making an app patch for both cam and camcorder.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Is there any phone that uses the same camera module that bravo uses?

We should look for something like that!

It was what happen with cliq xt, I think they used libs from hero or some other htc phone which is very similar.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
If we took the Blur camera app and found everything that it relied on and put it in the system, that would work. But everything has to work together, libs will work with multiple things, not just one thing. So it's nearly impossible to make one thing work while keeping everything else working. AOSP and Blur won't mix. That's why it's never been done before.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Ok now I might be on to something here. I might have found a MIUI rom that has the camera working. I'm downloading it now and will install it when I charge up my battery. If it does work i'm going to mod the files from it to a CM7 rom. Anyone want to let me know which CM7 to use as a base would be cool. Otherwise i'm going to take one from Defy and do a port and go from there.

PM me with any suggestions on a CM7 rom to use. That'll be our base rom and then i'll notate everything I do and post the results. Fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

@BravoMotorola The part about taking the Blur camera app and taking everything that relied on it and putting it into the system. What would this break on an AOSP rom and could we just try it for a tester rom? I don't have a Bravo to test on since I only have one and it's my only phone so I have to keep it working or else I don't think that Motorola will give me another one. If I get some extra $ in sometime i'll ebay one or two of them. And I sooooo want a docking station for mine. Did they ever make a car dock for our baby too? I haven't really looked into it too much but I don't think I ever saw a car dock app for us in Froyo. Just some things to ponder about while waiting for a phone to charge. I have before put my phone too close to a Palm wireless charger and it went into docking mode. But it sucked.
