[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Without flashing the kernel - stuck at bootlogo. Not the bootloop, but at the bootlogo. I took the battery out 4 times, restarts didn't help.. I've waited for 10 minutes each time.

So, I was told in the "DEFY CM7" that I should flash a 2.3.6 kernel, because it's known for CM not to work with 2.3.4. Like I said, I was pointed to CM9-kernel.zip, but that site is down now for some reason...

Anybody here with a DEFY+ with android 2.3.4? Please share the steps you took in getting CyanogenMod on it?

*EDIT* That site is back online..!
[Defy Android Development] coelho_:
for me

I flash a full sbf 2.3.6 for défy + http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

I root it whit http://unlockroot.com/unlockroot.php

if you have a defy + dont appli the pacht fix
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
There's a patch made by AL, fixes the inverted camera and battery on CM7.2 for DEFY+, it's on page 1508 of CM7 main thread, I'm almost sure!
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
@niksy+: man don't take it the wrong way but I really don't see why you keep asking about how to install cm7 for defy+. I went on the main thread and counted no less than 8 posts in reply to your first 'stuck at boot logo incident' with cm7.

8 posts where people all told you to flash CM9 kernel and your still asking which one to use....

I even gave you a link to one of my earlier post where I have attached the two kernels right here on xda; no external links or download problem..

Again no offense here, but please do your part of the effort and go back and read again and stop what some would consider spamming for less.

My patches are on page 1507 (not 1508) and battd is intended for defy+ owners only.

Some had success with it...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
That works if you already have cm7 for defy+ installed. If it's your first install coming from a different rom, you SHOULD flash the CM9 signed kernel. It will not break anything anyway, it takes 5 seconds to do and you will avoid potential problems. That IS the proper install method coming from the dev (Epsylon3) himself.

No fix package!!!!??? So you're saying that you have no problem with camera with cm7-defy+ and no battery charging problem (if your phone is a def+) whatsoever with every defy+ nightly builds since december? If so, you are the very first person that I hear saying so...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
After every CM7 installation I almost always have to go in settings (cm7 setting/interface/status bar tweaks/battery status style) and change the style, go back to homescreen and go and change it again to display the % and the small battery icon properly. I don't know if it is the same problem as you have, but worth a try..
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Again I don't own a defy+ so I did not try the patch. All I know is that some users have reported that it worked for them.

Sorry to hear that then. Walter79 once gave 2 files related to the battery problem: battd and another library I believe..So that might be worth a try in your case. I will have to search for it on my computer later...

Edit: there I've found it! It's a zip with two files to replace on your phone -

NOT a cwm recovery patch

. Battd is the same as in my patch but there is a module file there also. If you decide to try those files replacement, make a backup copy of the original files and also make sure that you set the files permissions and ownership properly; i.e. the same as other the files within the same directory.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I've just attached then to my previous post.

If if works for you; I could make a new cwm flashable patch later.

Edit:

The libmot_btgatt_jni.so should go in /system/lib and here is the original post about it from Walter79

Later edit:

They did not specifically said that they own Defy+, but since my patch is intended to be used ONLY with Defy+ phones...; see here, here and here;).

Did you try to wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot? Did you try go in advanced option of recovery and chose "deletebattery stats"? ..never know.
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
Works perfectly for me :)

I flashed the batt fix and camfix and battery charges upto 100% and even displays correctly in all places.. flashed it on the 25th and 27th builds without any issues :D

@niksy+

Even I got hung at the bootlogo but I waited 20 minutes and pulled the battery out and rebooted, it worked fine!
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
I unboxed the phone and rooted it immedeately (it was on 2.3.6 )

Then after few days, installed 2nd init and flashed CM 7.2 nightly provided in the first post of this thread.. no kernels or anything

When the 25th jan build was released, I flashed AL's battery and camera fix and it worked. Did the same for the 27th Jan build :)

From what I have read, CM7 doesn't come with kernels, so I suggest you flash to original 2.3.6 (which you can find in other thread)

and then flash to CM7 .. no need for any kernel, it uses the one you already have
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
some own advertisment and I will make a post here at XDA today ( have to translate the post in english, will take some time ). BUT everybody can use the ROM because it is based on the latest Jordan or Kang ( 27.01 ) and therefore multilingual. Only the Configer Options are in German ( can't change that ) but only the sub-text, I think you all understand what Defy+ Batterie Fix means :) and so on

WhiteRabbitEdition 1.2

one for Defy and Defy+ User with 2.3.4

and one for Defy+ User with 2.3.6 and higher

THANKS to AL ( will add you later in the credits, forgot it because so many fixes I tried ) and manic103, the Defy+ Battery and Camera works on both versions.

http://www.custom-android.de/cm7-whiterabbit-edition-rom/

for everybody who understands German! English will come as an own post later here at XDA.

[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
everything included, but you have to choose the right Rom Version ( 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 Defy+ ) and you have to configer it with the ROM Flag Configer App. The one for 2.3.4 ist only battd, the other one is more.

sorry, I am busy with the bloody Defy+ 2.3.6 Version. Some user said he had problems with the menu button and FC. Strange because 200 Downloads in 2 days and only one user had sich problem. So I repack it again and will test by some users. After that I will upload it again and put the link back.

my post on XDA and the englisch description will be moved to tomorrow, sorry so less time.
[Defy Android Development] Shark107:
What's the difference between WhiteRabbit Edition and this one? Still CM nightly right? I'd kill for a MIUI .___.

the laucher is "go laucher" themed whit MIUI, and camera ok
[Defy Android Development] Shark107:
Camera is ok with this ROM as well, I've been using the ROM I posted for more than a month and I never had the slightest problem xD if the difference is just a launcher downloadable for free from the android market I guess I'm peachy the way I am

wrong thread
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Hey guys. Here you talk about 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 official ROM and flashing CM7 Defy+ over them. I understand that flashing it's working only with 2.3.6 version.

But I have an 2.3.5 official ROM (for Central and East Europe). In this case, flashing a Defy Plus CM7 nightly will work?

I want to be able to reflash the official rom again.
[Defy Android Development] elTorres:
That worked for me
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
There isn't so much difference between Stock and WhiteRabbit Edition, it is same same but different. Some mods, tweaks, some theme stuff and thats it.

I already created a XDA Topic locally, but I will wait until the weekend. Than I will be releasing a complete new Version.

sorry using your topic for that information ;)

[Defy Android Development] defyassin:
have you done any wipe or any other things not mentioned

i'm stock at 2.3.6 rom and when i flash this rom i get stock at cm7 boot animation and when i try to get in the custom recovery the blue light turns green and the phone goes to boot animation and gets stock there.

please answer i can't wait to get it work
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
If your phone gets stuck at boot animation, just wait 10 min (maximum) an then simply reboot it (to close it press Power button + both volume button). It should start normally. It's a known bug that can appears after a new install done with a previous wipe cache/factory reset in custom recovery.

please ask where bs = 4096 ?????????????????/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaurusM3:
Since your question is off-topic, I'll keep it short -

bs (block size) in the 'dd' command is actually the cpu buffer size used during data transport between devices. If not specified, default is 512 bytes. Each respective hardware driver then buffers I/O data between the cpu and its dependent device. 4096 is probably a good number for Android.

How often do you guys make a backup up?

I used to do it very rarely. Then it became every Sunday.

Now I'm doing it everytime I install a new app, or make a mod to the phone... I do one almost daily, and sometimes up to 5 times a day!

And I don't even change ROMs after that!

Is that bad? How often should I do it?

How often do you guys go it?

I usually only make one when changing/updating ROMs. Then I only keep it till the next ROM change or a completely different ROM, for example I keep the original Sense nandroid and I have the last ILWT CM7 nandroid I made when switching to ICS, but, usually delete between ROM updates.

Jokes aside, I find Titanium sufficient to backup apps and data and I only do nandroid backups when I edit system files. That way, if something goes wrong, I go to recovery -> Advanced Restore -> /system so my phone comes back to normal and my data are intact. So 5 nandroids a day will do no harm but no good either, imho.

If you do it that often there's a good chance that one day you include the problem that screws up your install in your Nandroid, making it worthless to go back to. If you're flashing/modding a lot i'd suggest having one known stable backup which you keep as a fall-back, and then another that you replace as often as you like.

Previously rooted with Zookandnergy. Had to reset. It still shows B&N Nook Tablet USB Device (twice) under Disk Drives in Device Manager.

What is the latest greatest root option. Do I even need to do the adb driver install or can that be bypassed? Suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I don't think there really is any "latest and greatest" method ... either you go with Snowball mod (which removes as much of the B&N framework as possible) or you go with N&Z (which gives options from debloating ... i.e. just removing B&N apps). Personally, I used N&Z over a month ago and haven't had any reason to do anything else. I have Google Apps running, plus the Amazon Market, and am very happy with ADW launcher. I did install the SystemUI.apk that has the ICS buttons and remaps the book icon to a home icon. I'll be content with that until CM9 alphas/betas are released.

Edit: oh, and the FAQ has several links on how to deal with driver/device manager issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Seems like my big issue is there is no browser icon after resetting. Can't find any way to get to internet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
What exactly did you end up doing to reset? Erase/deregister? Magic SD card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
erase/deregister. What I have on the screen now is BOOKS NEWSTAND MOVIES MUSIC APPS. There is also a white bar the spans the top of these. The n button appears to just realign me back to the home screen but i don't get the white buttons that popo up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
At this point, I would recommend doing the Magic SD card too if you can. I believe that Erase/deregister cleans the /data/ folder, and the Magic SD card will clean /system/. It sounds from the behavior that you have something tweaked in your SystemUI.apk. You could just replace that with the stock one, but I would recommend starting fresh just in case you installed anything else that modified /system/.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
OK, and what is (where) the Magic SD card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Here
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
so there is no other alternative to accessing the stock browser?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
None that I know of. You could try pulling it from the restore zip and reinstalling maybe.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Umlaat:
Honestly, the stock browser sucks. I installed Dolphin HD browser as recommended by many members of this forum and never looked back. Dolphin has tabbed browsing, easy bookmarks and a quick access page which makes it very similar to the Chrome browser I use on my laptop. The stock browser is like using one of the original IE browsers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Think I'll opt for Magic SD. Any risk of it updating to 1.4.1? (came with 1.4.0 stock thankfully)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
It is possible, but if you root and block OTAs right away, you should be safe.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier, I think Snowball mod incorporates the white-on-white menu fix ... that is nice. I haven't done that on mine, I've just lived with it.

He's trying to root and cannot get to the stock browser, so another browser isn't an option.
