[Defy Android Development] IonAphis:
Sadly this is what I've been concluding as well.

Every new release breaks something in the previous release. I still don't quite understand why (perhaps someone can enlighten me?), but I've read around that it is unlikely we'll ever have full HWA, and ICS will rely more and more on it.

And although Epy's and Quarx's work has been just short of amazing, on the CyanogenMod site, it looks as if the Defy is being forgotten.

I hope I'm wrong, but it seems the development is going around in circles. One release has HWA but breaks 3G. The other one doesn't have fully working HWA but can video record. And another kinda works but things like sensor rotation don't turn off when you want it to.

Seeing Epy's and Quarx's work, I think it's safe to say they are not incompetent, and if top notch guys like them are having trouble making a decent-everyday-use release, then I don't think anyone can do it (except for the bas***ds at Motorola who don't want to open the bootloader for us, and they're very unlikely to help)...

Please please someone prove me wrong!
[Defy Android Development] vap_66:
You guys seem to forget that these are still experimental builds. You cannot expect full features and stability in this stage. Have some patience, stay on CM7. Progress is being made, regardless of what errors may be present in some build or another.

First time using this rom. Runs smooth and no crashes so far. My only complaint is that the video camera sucks so bad. The quality is like filming with a flip phone from 2000. Is the camera ever going to have the options of cm7?

Also how do you disable the boot animation?

WoW. Just flashed Eppy's new Defy+ build yesterday.:)

Since it's working great, I will not flash Quarx's new build until I'm told there is significant improvements. Because for Quarx's build battery fix is needed and I need to re-apply V6 supercharger which are troublesome.:p

This is what always happens..

Quarx makes a build after eppy and I don't get to test eppys build!...

For me the CM9 is better.

Wifi is useless in cm7 for me. my home router is bgn, and it was never connected when tried any cm7/miui/wiui.

In cm9 wifi works fine, camera is working too, except panorama.

I have greenlens defy.
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
on my greenlensed Defy works almost ok too, with the 28.04 build, but the Gallery gives just FC always...

sometimes I get a Trebuchet error, and the default launcher restarts.

the qr decoders don't read correctly, because of the incorrect image ratio (the codes look wider).

there is anything to do?

anyway, thanks for your work, Epsylon3 & Quarx!!!
[Defy Android Development] anil944:
Just a quick question...

Will the Defy+ builds of Eppy or Quarx have video recording working on Green Lens yet??
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
Green lens will never get working photos or video recording on the Gingerbread kernel builds.

Has anyone got a changelog for the 28th Eppy green lens build?
[Defy Android Development] vap_66:
Defy+ builds are meant for the Gingerbread kernel only. The green lens (SOC module), is compatible only with the Froyo kernel. Short answer: never.

Trimis de pe Defy CM9
[Defy Android Development] 01ago:
Agreed. CM9 supports Wireless N signals better than CM7. On CM7 there is some weird PEAP authentication problem - sometimes won't connect until you forget the network and set up again.
[Defy Android Development] staticx1:
Why can't we use wifi tether with cm9?

Also I cannot record using eppy's 28

[Defy Android Development] KriegerBread:
Hi,

Wifi tether issue still remains in cm9

I have used Epyslon3 nightlies until last weekend, including 042812 nightly. I don`t know why but video recoder only properly works when i go inside camcorder settings and set lapse time (1s, 1,5s, 2s... doesn`t matter wich lapse) i noticed that camera video looked better and records fine.

So every time to get properly video record with eppys nightly`i needed > open camcorder> set lapse time > quit camera > open

again

> turn off lapse time > record video (with better quality and without FC after 7s) :D

Crazy, no!? But worked for me! Try it ;)

Sorry about my buggy english :p

Hope been helpfull (If ok, please don`t forget hit Thanks :D

[Defy Android Development] pentraks:
Hi,

I dont have the courage to check upon all the replies on this thread so i get straight to my question.

Generally this rom works OK for me and i am really satisfied except one thing:

When i call someone the screen goes off as if the proximity sensor is triggered (without even getting close to the phone) so i cannot check the call, review if i called the right number/person, cancel it enter the nunpad etc, i have to press buttons or do whatever to wake it up!!!

is it a bug? a settings issue?

thanks
[Defy Android Development] fiskenigaten:
Alright! So I've been using MIUI for a while, but I can't live with the awful battery life and some other annoying stuff, so I'm back on cm9!

What are the major bugs in the newest cm9 builds? 3g on when usb plugged in? Video recording buggy, etc...

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] pedrosantos5:
Thank you!

These Epsylon3 042812 have the video recording solved?

The current rom i use (CM9 9-20120308-NIGHTLY-Jordan (Quarx)) its ok on video record, is the only one i found that works.

Anyone tested it?

I'm almost launching this new rom but i need some info about video record because if it doesn't work i wait.
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Video doesn't work reliably yet
[Defy Android Development] r4yv3n:
Yes it works, but you can only save one video, if you stop and start again without closing camera, the video appear to be recording, but when you press "stop" then the camera FC's

But this is a good trick (only bad for the time to put record mode on :D )
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Data connectivity

Data connectivity on the 120428+ build has been close to flawless for me. The only issue I've observed is when auto switching from a 2G to 3G network and visa versa.

I drive over a mountain pass from home (2G) to work (3G) every day going through a no gsm signal zone and I need to switch data off and on again each time I go through the no-comms area to get it working again.

Using the 2G/3G toggle and forcing the phone to 2G at home and 3G at work has also given exceptionally reliable connectivity - no data disconnects at all.
[Defy Android Development] diamond_lover:

[Defy Android Development] AnTerNoZ:
hey just want to tell that the issue for the preview on highest zoom in the 28.04 build only belongs to the camera app in photo mode, in video mode the preview is fine on all stages off zoom, feels that the zoom slider go a bit to high in photo mode :confused:

I've been using 120428+ now for about a week and it's very stable. Wifi is excellent if you don't mind the refresh lag in the notification widget.

As mentioned before, data connectivity works perfectly if you select 2G or 3G. If you select 2G and 3G, you get random data disconnects, fixed by a off/on data toggle
[Defy Android Development] Luppertazzi:
How about PlayStore and the not working apps like Opera and BC Scanner? Any other apps not working? Also, should i flash Gapps and Kernel as well as the ROM or just the ROM and Gapps?
[Defy Android Development] AnTerNoZ:
i found only some games that don't run, the apps, i user daily, work great with the froyo 28.04 build (like currents or system tuner pro... )

opera don't run before we get some hwa and a qr scanner don't work if the camera don't work full, that would be fix in a few builds.

if u on cm7 u don't have to flash kernel.

opera mini don't need hwa or firefox, i personally like ICS Browser+ or Aurora the Firefox nightly.

[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
I also managed to find this option in Titanium Backup, but should not be included in the ROM by default, like in the CM7 releasea, at the application properties section? The 2.x.x versions had this option by default and after the installation of the applications some of them appeared already installed on the SD card...
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Seems like it is nit included in the framework itself...

m sure it will be added...
[Defy Android Development] RDrg:
it seems like that... I've tried any program above this post and is not possible because the lack of the native apps2sd option (the framework is not entirely complete)

maybe in some upcoming builds...
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
Yes, it would be possible. There are different ICS ROMs for the Defy that offer the option to move Apps to sd right in the settings app page like it should be (I used three that had that). I can't imagine why it isn't integrated in the CM9 builds, I also suppose that all of these ROMs were actually based on CM9 for the Defy.

[Defy Android Development] darkguy2008:
I second this. I use this phone on 180 instead of 240 and play store in custom DPI is a must for me. Quarx's build doesn't have this error. Is there any possibility to fix it soon? thanks! :)

0507 experiences so far:

* Camera took pictures, but flash didn't work, not even manually.

* Recording videos didn't do anything, pressed the red button and nothing, nada. No FC though.

* Panorama shows first camera frame then it freezes.

* Play store crashes when using other DPI than 240

So, going back to Quarx's 0506. Camcorder & panorama don't work but the rest does.

However, hey, great job on merging the theme manager, that thing is a beast to include, nice one :)

No, the HWUI/HWA fix is the same, the same commit is included in all three - Quarx's Gingerbread, Epsylon's Gingerbread and Epsylon's Froyo.
