[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I think you should buy a dumbphone :p when Im testing something or installing a rom or making a backup or restoring I change the SIM CARD to my L7.

Wow, 6 to 8 weeks for shipping? are you using normal US postal service? When I buy something on ebay it does not take too long, it takes a week more or less, then 3 or 4 days more coming to Dominican Republic.

BTW I hope the phone arrives on time, I would like to change my rom alredy. Well not asking for estimated time. Good luck anyway.

I just move to cm10 to try whats new with the rom, but until I dont see flash player working I wont stay.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Yep. Standard USPS shipping I assume. I'd buy a dumbphone if I had the extra $$$ around. Yes, I know that they're cheap, but I'm living on a penny-to-penny budget and I'm not spending money unless I necessarily have to. My last two phones don't work anymore and the only free phones I have access to are for non-att supported networks.

I'd give an eta of this evening, but I may be lying. Give me an hour to make a nandroid, make a new cm7 zip with the previous CM7 bootmenu, and flash it.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I understand, try to do it whenever you can with nothing forcing you.

Im going out now and I'll be back in some hours.Hope you get the rom booting.

Laters!

I tried changing baseband (Argentina Claro and Colombia TIGO/MOVISTAR), and changing network setting too. For a while worked great, I thought finally probled was solved, but tonight the cellphone lost signal completely a couple times, and again when I reboot everything works fine.

Only a weird thing: I've installed baseband switcher 4.0, but it doesn´t appear in the applications list, everytime I want to make some change I have to install and open it after installation, and when I check phone info always shows baseband version EPU93_U_00.58.00, is possible that I'm not really changing baseband?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Its not a sim card issue is it? There's another Bravo user having similar issues as you and reseating his sim helped get signal back. I had the same problem on my old iPhone3gs (worst phone ever) - the only way I'd have a signal was to take the phone apart and hold the sim in place manually. If you have a habit of switching sim cards from phone to phone then that likely is the problem. The sim in my 3gs was from 3 phones earlier and extremely wore out.

Yes, it is possible you're not changing basebands. The older baseband switcher (3.0) will appear in the apps list. The 4.0 version is in Defy Parts once installed. Its also a good idea to manually remove the old 4.0 before installing the one with the basebands included, that way you know you're not using the one installed to /system/apps.
[Bravo General] raul1113:
I don´t switch sim card often, I did it maybe a couple times in the last month. After searching a while I'fe found the baseband switcher included with Cyanogem, it shows v4.0 and the actual baseband : China ME722 1.10

I'll be trying this one and see whats happens, if fails I'll ask my cellphone company to replace the sim card.

Thanks for your help.
[Bravo General] raul1113:
After a lot of frustration and failed attempts, thanks to you I found the problem: the simcard. I changed it and my bravo is working again, I'm using your CM7 Kang and so far I've to say is great. Waiting for the next release.

Thanks for your help.

mediafire GFW

Hello everyone, I'm from China. I found skeevy420's CM7 Kangs here, but due to the GFW, I can't download it normally from mediafire. So If someone have the time to upload it to the website that I can visit from my country? I know it may be a unreasonable request. I had try some methods to cross the WALL, but they are not steady. So I want to get help from you.

Unfortunately, I don't know which of them that I can visit from my home. I have no more knowledges of the websites like mediafire.

Sorry, my English is so poor. I don't know if you can understand me…

Thank you very much!

I hate GFW!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
What about dropbox, rapidgator, rapidshare? I'm uploading latest on Google Drive (hopefully that'll work). If another Chinese user can help out with recommended sites that would be great.

I'll be back to post the link when its done or I'm done cleaning the kitchen, whichever happens first. :rolleyes:

Link for CM7 Kang 2012-08-20 on Google Drive
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
@enko2012

Can I assume that the Chinese email with a link to my rom means Google Drive works with Chinese users or you?

@Josuearisty

Same question, but with Dominican users\you.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Everything works here!

You know there is too much freedom!
[Bravo General] enko2012:
I click your link of Google Drive, but Google says I have no permission to visit it, I should ask for it from the owner. My gmail is enko0705@gmail.com.

Actually, I can visit the homepages of rapidgator, rapidshare, and mediafire. But when I open the page like 'mediafire . com/?26fnwi5cr05ax2d' , you see, one file under mediafire, the GFW will make it fail. (the space between mediafire and com aren't my fault, because I can't post outside links now)

I uploaded one small file to my rapidshare, and I can download it with a low speed. So I think it may be useful.

If you have limited time and energy to do things for Bravo, I can try some other ideas to solve it. Some sites can download the file and then I can download it from the sites, depite sometimes they didn't work well. But I can accept. I have no right to ask you do so many things for me.

Please forgive my English, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. If you can read Chinese, I just want to write a letter to you for your kindness.

Thank you very much!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Oops, didn't realize it was set to private. I've set it to full public and sent a direct link to you. If Google Drive doesn't work, then I'll upload to Rapidshare (it'll have to be at least 12-14 hours from now).

The only problem with rapidshare is sometimes they'll cap the download at 30kbps which is about a two hour long download for the rom and possible errors from that (I've had a few corrupted downloads from capped free share site).

I can read Chinese as long as Google Translate doesn't mess it up :)

Some things for you to read about\may help you with other things than just roms from mediafire. Just so you know, its getting to the point that we in America have to look into proxy and vpn services (a lot of foreign sites block American IPs now). Where China has the GFW, the rest of the world uses the Anti-American IP firewall.

http://freeproxylist.org/en/free-proxy-list.htm

http://keemanxp.com/blog/2011/free-vpn-services-to-access-blocked-websites.html
[Bravo General] enko2012:
Thank you very much!

Now I can see your Google Docs, but when I click download it still fails. Since Google left our mainland, some services by Google can't work normally for us. So I think maybe it is to big for Docs or caused by GFW. But now, I download it successfully from 'mf . svgetlink . com' to transfer it to me after some tries. I am very happy!

Thank you very much! I will learn the links that you post.

谢谢你，还有你们！
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I don't think its too big since I was able to download it, as was josuearisty (Dominican Republic). Probably the GFW...the punk.

If you can, find a file sharing site that works for you, post it, and I'll upload to there for Chinese Bravo users.

Are you able to access http://quarx2k.ru or http://cm.aleeyt.com/ and download roms from there? If so, I'll ask one of them about hosting my Kangs.

//If anyone else reads this. I'd like to get 98 thanks within my next 59 posts --- 420 thanks with 666 posts would be a neat screenshot.
[Bravo General] enko2012:
Yeah, the GFW has made it so troublesome to get what I want. Many popular sites for sharing in China maybe have no English interface I think. Such as, the most used, 'pan. baidu. com'. I can visit and download from the second site you said, aleeyt. The quarx2k.ru is also disabled because of the GFW,I sometimes visit it through GAE proxy.

Thanks.Due to the time difference, I can't reply it in time.Please forgive me.

And I want to ask a question, how to 'Click Thanks'?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I'll see if Aleeyt will hook me up with a folder, the "Thanks Button" is the button at the far left bottom under the user name.
[Bravo General] fred c:
Does anyone know how to flash cwm or any custom recovery on a motor bravo
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
If you're on Froyo, then first root and install Defy 2nd-Init -- Defy 2nd-Init is CWM Recovery made for our phones.

If you're on a custom rom, you already have it.

Don't install any recoveries from the market, even the one made for the Bravo -- it was my first purchased app, and Defy 2nd-Init replaced it 2 days later. :(

As for the other recoveries such as TWRP and CWM Touch, go to the Defy Development Threads where they're being built and discussed. I haven't used TWRP since March or so (its factory reset wipes SD-EXT and I keep my music and important files there) and haven't used CWM Touch at all.
[Bravo General] enko2012:
Thanks. Now I can download your rom from Google Drive via GAE proxy, while I can't do it for mediafire. It's so great!
[Bravo General] enko2012:
Dear skeevy420, I flashed your CM7 20120827, I think the 'assert 'part in 'update-script' file may be a mistake. My recovery can't go through normally, so I edited the file, then it worked.

After I entered the OS, it had no signal, displaying unknown baseband in About. I can't switch it to Airplane mode. The 0820 version has no these problems.

Thanks for your working on Brova. Maybe it's my individual problem. I post it here because I haven no 10 posts……

Thanks again!
[Bravo General] magicCrazyThing:
Don't know what to do next.

Just yesterday I switched my vsel values to the ones listed by Skeevy420 in the development forums. Yesterday the only problem I had was that the phone shut off while I was playing music. I had been using those settings for a week from the 17th to the 24th; on the 25th I switched to Jelly Bean and left the vsel values at stock while I used it until the 27th. Yesterday I switched back to Skeevy420's Cm7 Kang. Now today I can't do anything with it. It will start to boot up and get past the blue and green dots and the red M, but right before the lock screen shows up it shuts down. 1 out of every ten times it will actually go to the lock screen. If I leave it alone at that point it will be fine, but if I try to unlock the phone it just shuts off. I can't even do anything with it in recovery. I tried switching it back to the stock Vsel values, but when I hit save it just shuts down. It did the same thing when I tried to re-flash the ROM. I can move through the menus fine. It's just when I actually try to do something that it shuts down. I was going to SBF, but the download page is being blocked by some Hollywood petition. I doubt I would be able to anyway because it wont stay on that screen for more than a minute.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
For the crash during music, bump up vsel2 by 1 and see if it stops; repeat as necessary. Vsel3 doesn't need to be higher than 56 and vsel1 doesn't need to be higher than 22 -- that's the highest you'll need to set those on any rom. Vsel2 is where it depends on the stability of the rom -- anywhere between 38-44 can work for 600-700. My values were for CM7, CM10 roms may need slightly higher values; I'm using 300@20\600@40\1000@54 with PA if it helps. Gonna experiment with my 300\700\1100 values when I get the chance.

Speculating a bit, but it sounds like the addon.d scripts screwed you over when switching roms. I did an experiment a few day ago with the gapps script and found out that it doesn't copy all the gapps files; a similar thing may have happened with your overclock settings (they're backed up and restored by the installer).

You should sbf. Something was left behind in the downgrade and its screwing with your system. Just so you know, you flash sbfs from a different recovery, not the one with the OC settings and all that jazz. To get to the sbf recovery, hold both Volume UP and Power when turning on the phone.

The sbf link is still up, I just checked it. Go here and you'll get all the sbf help ya need; then use the 1 click root script and you'll be back to custom roms in no time.

To save you the hassle in the future, you can delete the files in /system/addon.d (they're the update backup scripts; most of which we don't need on the Bravo :)).
[Bravo General] magicCrazyThing:
I managed to fix the problem later on that night. I literally couldn't do anything with it though. It wouldn't even stay on the sbf screen long enough to do that. I ended up just letting the phone sit for an hour and it finally let me recover back to the cm7 kang I was on before all that started. I'm still using the same vsels though, and I haven't had a problem.

thanks for that tip on /system/addon.d. I'll remember that especially seeing as I usually switch ROMs once every other week. I think I'll be staying with your Cm7 Kang for awhile. I haven't found another that will stay this responsive for this long.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Have you tried Pikachu MIUI -- It runs stable & reliable for a long time, as does MS2 Ginger (only run if if you don't require the Camera or Data Tethering in America).

I don't really like talking about MIUI -- It was one of my failures - I could never get MIUI Patchrom to fully patch a Bravo CM7. I'll eventually try again, but I'd like to get AOKP going first -- The repos are already done and set up by Kayant (Defy Dev) and all I have to do is point to his and add in some Bravo crap to my manifest to make it work for us.

I'd have already released PA and CM7 updates but my Dad's in the hospital and I haven't done much online other than a few posts here and reply to emails. Now that we know more and that he'll be ok, I can start to focus on the less important things in life again.

If anyone is interested, I can start a thread on how to build roms for the Bravo from source. The requirements are a 64bit pc, Ubuntu 12.04 or a derivative (Mint 13 Xfce FTW), decent internet connection (1.5mbps down takes 4 hours to fully sync CM7 and CM10\PA), and 150GB of spare storage (75GB minimum). Once its all setup and synced, roms can be built very easily.
[Bravo General] magicCrazyThing:
Yes, I have used them. I used Pikachu for about a month before you started posting the CM7 Kangs. I just prefer Cm7. I never could get Ms2Ginger to install quite right. It would run and it did do everything it was supposed to ( except camera) But it was taking forever to load anything. I have also been interested in Paranoid android. could you tell me the differences between it and regular JB other than the status bar?

I'm glad to hear that your Dad will be okay.

I'm extremely interested in a thread on how to build ROMs.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
PA is a lot more than just the status bar...You really have to just install it and play around in PASettings to get the full idea behind it -- basically you can set each app to run in various modes (small screen phone, large screen phone, small tablet, big tablet), per app dpi that doesn't break market functionality (try changing the dpi to 180 on CM7 and you'll see what I mean; requires build.prop tweaking.).

MS2 may have ran poorly due to it being set up for the Defy Gingerbread Kernel and 4 vsels. Set Vsels 2 & 3 to the CM7 settings and it'll run much more smoother.

I'll start on a tutorial later today\tomorrow and have something posted in the next 2-3 days when I have the time.

[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Recuerda hacer wipe antes de instalar cualquier rom, si tu problema persiste instala el SBF con el RSD lite e inicia todo de nuevo.

Remenber to wipe before installing any rom, if your problem continues you should install SBF file with RSD and begin everything again.
[Bravo General] ottodaniel:
Mira estoy seguro que hice los wipe ademas sin problemas pude instalar las room, Una consulta que es el proceso ese que me dijiste para hacer? volveria a el estado original?

Desde ya muchas gracias.

Look I'm sure I did the wipe could also install smoothly room, a query that is the process that you told me to do? go back to the original state?

From already thank you very much.

cm 10 quarxs ver

I been using quarxs cm 7 been happy but been wanting to try out cm10. I can get cm10 booted and works but any video and Netflix is no go. I have searched main thread and find little. Any workround at this time?
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Asi mismo es, empezar desde puro 0, a ver si asi se resuelve tu problema.

En mi firma puedes ir a descargar los archivos necesarios.

Yes, if your problem continues you will have to start from zero, installing everything. Download the nessesary files.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Nope. Flash doesn't work yet and not all of the video\audio\container formats are finished. In a few months time CM10 will be the best rom to use, but until then you have to decide between flash and CM10. If you don't need flash all the time you could multiboot with CM10 on the nand and CM7 from the SDCard. I'm running CM10 (PA actually) all the time and don't have any major issues with it -- most of the slowdowns can be fixed (disabling animations, V6 supercharger, deleting unused System apps) and then it runs fine and smooth.

If you don't know how to decompile system jars (required to supercharge CM10) then you can wait a week or two and I'll have the built into PA. I'm also in the planning stages of adding Aroma installer to PA -- it won't be anywhere near the level of custimization that Tweety brings on WR and Pikachu, but all I'm using Aroma for is removing system apps, installing apps from the SDCard during install, optional V6, optional Sound Mod (like beats if I can find one that works properly), setting build.prop variables (like Wifi Timeout, button backlight brightness), and maybe more.

Once I get the PA Aroma done I'm gonna add it to the CM7 kangs -- the install app from SD option is appealing to me (if you flash lots of roms you'd understand what that fully means).

Anyways, have a bit more to do on 7 then I'll be able to start the compile process.
[Bravo General] wolfnails:
Thanks again for the information. Know enough to try out different ROMs on bravo an galaxy tab but not there yet to decompile ROMs. I'll look forward to watch what happens with cm10.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Its not hard at all to decompile the jar for V6, or anything else for that matter -- the hardest part is finding the right versions of the tools, but the latest versions seem to work just fine for everything (when ICS came out, there were many different versions for ICS\GB).

"apktool if path/to/roms/framework-res.apk" followed by "apktool d /path/to/services.jar" -- that'll decompile services.jar.

From there you take the 2 files mentioned on the V6 thread and copy them to the phone in the same directory as the script, run it, copy those files back to where they were on the phone (overwriting the previous ones) then run "apktool b /path/to/services.jar.out".

After that all you have to do is copy the new services.jar to /system/framework and set it with 0644 permissions.

speed dial?

Am a n00b-level user but managed to get CM 72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Kobe installed on my Bravo MB520 and LOVE it.

CM7 really pushed this phone to a much greater level of efficiency and useability. And the Wifi connects much faster that the previous OEM kudge.

Question: Is there a speed-dial configuration menu? I lived by my old speed dial, but have only seen the selection for voice-mail retrieval for "1". Is there a way to set up the other numbers on the keypad for speed dial?

Thanks much, and am greatly enjoying the CM7.

-rice1
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Not that I'm aware of. You'll have to get a dialer from the market that has speed dial. I don't have a recommendation because I use the T9 feature as my speed dial :p

CM7 0902 Camera Error

On the weekend I flashed the recent build of CM7 posted by skeevy420 (cm-7-20120902-NIGHTLY-kobe.zip) to my Bravo. A couple of people have reported that they receive the error "Cannot Connect to Camera" when trying to open the camera. I can't replying to the thread (don't have enough posts to post to a development thread) but am experiencing the same issue.

I wanted to know if anyone can confirm that they do have the camera working using this build?

Thanks!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I did when I tested it out for a full day. In a little while (I have things to do) I'll throw together some camera library zips for everyone to try out. Not sure why some have camera issues and some don't. I didn't so its hard to know why cause I can't replicate the problem on my end. What's weird is if it works for me is should work for all -- who knows. In the meantime, I suggest taking the libraries from Quarx's latest CM7 and try them (delete all the previous libraries first), then try the Quarx release from around Feb-March -- I'm using the drivers from before that. If neither one of those releases work then we may have to amend the standard CM7 porting technique.

@josuearisty

Have any thoughts on the matter? Also, the Defy Team has been doing a lot of work to CM7 the past couple of weeks. Looks like they're getting ready for an updated CM.com RC\Stable.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
No idea about, I have been very busy these days working in a bar at nights, so I havent tried the port you uploaded, I though it was the same Im using.

I'll try it today and let you know about it, now Im about going out. Im using the lastest nightly 2012/09/23.

Good to know Defy team is working on it, it means we will have a stable version too, with the port of course.

Fixed!!! Motorola Bravo -- CM7 0902 Camera Error

With many thanks to skeevy and josuearisty the camera connect error has been fixed. josuearisty sent me a link to a patch that skeevy had provided which replaces the Defy camera libraries with the Bravo camera libraries. According to josuearisty you can flash the defy CM7 build and then the patch and everything should work fine. I flashed the bravo patch on top of cm-7-20120902-NIGHTLY-kobe.zip last week and haven't had any troubles since.

Unfortunately, I don't have 10 posts yet -- so I can't include the URL for the patch in this message or post this message on the development forum where others have reported the same message. If someone else can post this there please do. If you want the link to the patch then PM me and I'll send it to you personally. Sorry, it's the best I can do.

Thanks again to skeevy and josuearisty!
[Bravo General] Parcae:
My Bravo isn't charging, either from the computer or from the wall socket. It also won't show up as external storage on the computer. Weirdly enough, when I plug it into the computer, it says that it is charging but the battery % keeps dropping. Moreover, when I switch the phone off and plug it into the wall, the white charging light comes on - but the battery % has not increased when I switch the phone back on.

Is this a software or a hardware problem?
