As the Defy+ has the same processor as the Defy, just overclocked to 1 Ghz, you can at least overclock your Defy to these 1 Ghz.

I tried 1.2 Ghz once, and all got laggy and then the phone froze, now I'm on 1.1 Ghz and it works fine.
[Defy Android Development] blackwing182:
i9 know is old new! :) but i try to make a point every bootloader have a back door, and most of the devices having this omap prossesor have an exploit im 200% shure that we can bypass the verification code from the bootloader and flash custom kernels (boot.img) and even re-make a custom bootloader! its a long hard way, but atleast we can make better things! to it!
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
What excactly would be easier if we had an unlocked bootloader?

Get the camera working?
[Defy Android Development] blackwing182:
dude you dont get it! if motot dont give us the tool for unlock the bootloader, then wee need to make it ourselvs or crack down the bootloader
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
But what for?! I actually don't see a reason why we would even need an unlocked bootloader, as custom ROMs obviously also work with this locked up bootloader.
[Defy Android Development] nitrous²:
Are you working on that at the moment?

[Defy Android Development] nitrous²:
Did you ever took a look on forums of devices with unlocked bootloader? Well, Im coming from one of these, to be more exact; i had the HD2 and we had and still have so much possibilitys! You might noticed that already. A Device which isn't even an android phone at all, but runs ics better than some other high end android smartphone. I wish I had never sold that piece of pure perfect silicium :( ....

Obviously (yes, you've wrote that)?? Really?? And, why??

[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
Well, I'm not so sure about that. I'd rather want to hear from Epsylon or Quarx which possibilities a unlocked bootloader would grant them.

I mean, an unlocked bootloader won't write new hardware drivers for the camera or something, an unlocked bootloader is not a magic wonder weapon, is it?
[Defy Android Development] jpchopper:
It would let our developers do things that for the moment require keys from Motorola; for instance use the actual kernel ics was written on.

What they're doing now is like helping you break into your own house and hot wire your own car to give it a tune up. Unlocking the boot loader would be like doing the same thing, except with the keys...

At least that's how I understand it.
[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
I think adding a new kernel can help with that, in our situation we have to do some voodoo magic to either, adapt older drivers to the new architecture, or adapt new drivers to our old kernel.
[Defy Android Development] joyo22:
Basically. an unlocked bootloader allows you to start your phone using a different kernel, a custom kernel. That's essentially its purpose.
[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
In theory kexec is *THE* solution, but in practice, as long as I know, that feature has been broken since a lot of time.

you can find linus torvalds talking about how broken it is on this mailing list:

h t t p s : / / lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/6/347

any other ideas around?
[Defy Android Development] ndanl:

[Defy Android Development] sam razzy:
Can I use this rom for Defy plus???
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
You can. This ROM has the defy+ kernel already
[Defy Android Development] glycolysis:
If someone can patch MBM (and maybe CDT, etc) to boot custom kernels but retain the hardware initialization capability (esp. the RIL), there may be some hope left in kexec/2nd-boot.

I've looked at the disassembly for the Milestone's MBM... seems like this may be possible if we can do the same disassembly for Defy.
[Defy Android Development] blackwing182:
thats why i came with this :)
[Defy Android Development] wyumhk:
Epsylon3,

Please check http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html, which is marked as "Camera new!".

I don't know if it is the Dev Guide for ICS or not, sorry. But it is "new!", so I think it may be.
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
The Android Developer page is for App-Developers, not ROM Developers, this topic there is about how to access the camera of any device through an app, not how to get the camera working.
[Defy Android Development] gommers1978:
I thought this thread was about ICS, see that it has become a how to unlock the bootloader thread. Why is that?? we have another thread for unlocking the bootloader. Please post your discussions in the correct Threads. Or else it will all become such a mess.

Thank you all and have a happy new year!!!:D

Um its christmas/holidays for most people a time to relax not build ICS for all the needy people on the internet.

If you really want a new nightly then compile it yourself.
[Defy Android Development] nitrous²:
Ok, we all know the important rule: "never ask for eta". But, actually he didn't directly asked for an eta. He was/is just sad about the fact that there is no nightly since 12/26. I don't think this is a reason to get rude...thank you for the "moral lesson". We all get it; "never ask for eta", well, but it's a tiny little bit annoying when someone is trying to do the lawyer for somebody. That's it, I'm not goin 2 discuss about my statement...

[Defy Android Development] Deonix:
So i tried and..

So i tried CM9 ( just wonderful) for 2 days ( install went flawlessly except the Gapps file was 4.0.3 and my version ended being 4.0.1) and then i wanted to go back to CM7. Followed the Guide but CM7 won't boot. Also made a Clockwork Mod ROM backup. When i try to install the Backup it says failed to restore system. Then on Data restore it freezes on restoring .android.secure...

So i cleared everything. Wipe data/cache, Factory restore, than installed again but it does not work. I will make a fresh install.

So what's the easiest way to come back to CM7 from CM9??? I guess DualBoot could be the answer no? still what's the process?

Happy New Year to the devs and all of you.
[Defy Android Development] 2Pints:
Have you tried the advanced restore options?

do a factory wipe/re set, then go to advanced restore and restore boot and devtree from the advacned restore options using your back up of the cm7 rom, then restore everything after that.

likewise if you want to go back to cm9, wipe, then advanced restore devtree and boot, followed by restore all.

[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Just a question: These builts of CM9 do not really come from the official Cyanogenmod team, do they? Is it correct that there are independent developments and the official version of CM9 (the Defy is officially supported since CM7.1 if I'm not mistaken) will be released in some weeks/months for many devices at the same time?
[Defy Android Development] trevor68:
Thats generally the way yes, BTW, Defy is "Officially" supported BECAUSE of the Devs right here in this thread. :)
[Defy Android Development] nessonic:
I don't believe all devices will be supported all at once, it's not simply a flick of the switch to get them working- it all takes time and some devices will take longer than others.
[Defy Android Development] UEman:
Epsylon and Quarx are the official Cyanogenmod team for defy. Those nightlies are just compiled by themself and not by the buildbot of the Cyanogenmod.
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Wow, didn't know how the relations exactly looked like, thanks!

But I know that Epsylon and Quarx are doing an awesome and probably not easy job, giving us all pretty good ICS on our lovely little Defys.
[Defy Android Development] gadgetcraze:
Trouble here. Phone discharged completely and wont charge now. Have to run to work. What is the quickest solution?

I am on 12/13 build.
[Defy Android Development] Mariofrith:
Gadget craze.... Is the phone off? Can it go in boot menu?
[Defy Android Development] nessonic:
Not that you have the time for it, but you'll need to do the mcguyver method it looks like. Hope you have a spare USB cable laying around. However, I recommend attaching the cables directly to the battery terminal outside the phone and letting it sit there, clamped down, for a bit. The way the tutorial says to do it didn't work or the cables would move and I'd lose connection. Plus it bends the crap out of them.
[Defy Android Development] gadgetcraze:
Thanks. Didnt know it could charge through PC. Was taking a little longer, but now on 15. Car charger will take it from here I hope.
[Defy Android Development] cardozclive:
Therse is one bug which i am experiencing in the latest nightly is that the browser doesn't loads webpages after the first page.
[Defy Android Development] swapnil360:
Please correct me if I make any mistake....

Camera is working on the GB kernel on CM7.2 isn't it? So maybe there shouldn't be any "old kernel" or "locked bootloader" related problem here on ICS....

The devs are doing an awesome job BTW! I think before the first build was out, we weren't sure if the Defy will even boot into ICS!
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
works nly for red lens...
[Defy Android Development] swapnil360:
Yes but is it possible that we can atleast get the red lens camera on ics? Green lens would come later then..

Just a question...
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
working of camera in gb and in ics is different i guess...

ovarlay .so has difference

i read this somewhere...
[Defy Android Development] swapnil360:
Yeah even I read about that. There are differences in the configurations of lib files too I think. But the Red Lens cameras are working on the GB kernel on a custom ROM while green lens has problems with the same. The point is that the devs should first focus on the Red Lens camera and then get them working and bother about the green lens later on. At least a lucky few Defy users will be happy.

This is just a request. If I'm wrong anywhere please correct me :-)
[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
I guess if it is not possible to use a custom kernel with a locked bootloader, then the green camera will never work with the GB kernel, cause there are no drivers for the green camera in the GB kernel, and they can't be added cause that would be a custom kernel that the bootloader doesn't accept.

Unfortunately, I have a green camera :(

So the only hope for green camera Defy's is the bootloader unlock, I guess.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Not quite correct. Indeed, you cannot use any other kernel except the ones signed by Motorola. But you *can* load additional drivers in the form of kernel modules. Epsylon3 and Quarx have already started working on it for some time, but it will take more than few weeks. Just be patient, and use CM7 if you need the camera for now, just like I do.

[Defy Android Development] HomerSimpson07:
Why would you want to disable the touch buttons and give away a part of your screen for the screen buttons that work just like the touch buttons, makes no sense for me^^
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Was that a joke or am I missing something? I put the interesting looking SystemUI.apk into the system/apps folder and set the usual permissions with root explorer (good that I backupped the original one...) and I also installed the Navigation buttons.zip via the recovery menu. I rebooted and-

1.: No on screen buttons there,

2.: No wallpaper and no status bar at all! Great SYSTEMUI!

A bit sad, I hoped there was something going on again but none of the two things that sounded so interesting worked ):
[Defy Android Development] crazy4tricks:
i have not checked the systemui.apk the onscreen button works if u want them just flash the navigation button.zip.. i think u got error due to systemui.apk

Swyped from my Defy™ running ICS
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Made my own SystemUI, worked!

Got both working now! Installing the Navigation buttons worked after the second try- I also wiped cache, don't know if that helped as well- (but I will remove them again because they are really rather annoyingand using the old school capacitive buttons is far more comfortable ;) )

What I wanted the most of the changed status bat was the battery percentage indicator. So I took these pngs from your SystemUI.apk and put them into the existing one. And now I have a little number in my status bar, a thing I really missed from other ROMs (although I'm not sure how accurate it is).

as far as i have seen several users have screwed up and they are unable to revoke . is it yet to be implemeted or there is no way we can revoke to CM7 or defy 2.2.2 sbf ? if someone can answer .... or should i post this to QA section created in defy general section ?
