Hey All

I'm in need of some help. For some reason this whole SBF thing is completely confused me

My Defy

System Version: Moto_Version.34.30.3601.MB525.Vodacome.en.GB

Firmware Version: 2.2.2

Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02

Build number: JEM_3.4.3-36-1

(Unsure if these will help)

Anyway, I'm wanting to put CM7 or another custom rom onto my phone, but they all seem to be version 2.3 or so, but I want to be able to drop down to my original rom in case I need to return the phone for something

I did the official update to 2.2.2 from 2.1, which was lucky as with my 2.1 stock rom Clockworkmod couldn't read my memory card, seemed to be a common glitch with the SBF version it had, but it seems fine now

I read somewhere to use a Nordic nandroid backup for some reason, cant remember, just found it in my download folder from attempting to get clockworkmod to work on 2.1, restored the image onto my phone, which worked fine, but that seemed to be a no risk flash

So now I'm confused on how to proceed to putting on a custom rom, I fear that I'm going to **** up something, or going to run into issues if I try change to different custom roms

I'm possibly just over thinking what is meant to be done, and it is way simpler than it seems at the moment

anyone have some advice?
[Defy General] premaca:
Using nordic as a base is old, custom runs like cm7 work on any base.

As long as you don't flash full sbf of gingerbread builds via rsdlite you can always go back to your original 2.2 by flashing full sbf through rsdlite.

Okay coming to installation of custom roms, first thing is to root it. You can use super one click for that. Then install defy 2ndinit after that boot menu and recovery.then you are all set to install custom roms.

For cm7, down load the zip and install through cwm.

Restart phone and as soon you see blue led press volume down, this would put you into boot menu.then select custom/stable recovery. Select wipe user data/factory reset.then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Come back and select install from zip and give cm7 zip, after finished reboot. It will now boot with cm7, first boot will take few minutes 2-3. It is generally cm7 first boot is in loop, if you are stuck just remove battery and put back and restart.

You can go through cm7 installation thread for better clarity.

Enjoy flashing!
[Defy General] Dead_lemon:
Thanks for the reply

So basicly I just flash the rom straight in clock work mod, no need for fixed SBF's or anything?

Do I need to back up/make full SBF of my stock SBF or something?

Is CM7 7.1 based on Froyo, and you'd just flash it straight from the memory card in Clockwork mod?

Or have I missed the point and meant to flash a fixed SBF to allow for gingerbread or any roms and then reflash 2.2 back on when I want to retore stock again?
[Defy General] Dead_lemon:
Well I went ahead and installed Motogamer, which I downloaded last night and its working fine, but it seems to be based on the froyo kernal

I'm still a little confused as CM7.1 looks like its gingerbread, unsure of the downgradeability to my froyo stock rom, but this rom had no issue when I used my nandroid backup to restore to my stock rom

Thanks for the help
[Defy General] premaca:
CM7.1 stable is android 2.3.7 with froyo kernel. And there is CM7.2 nightlies with both froyo and gingerbread kernels. I use the defy+ CM7.2 with gingerbread kernel from Quarx (this gives me better battery life) http://quarx2k.ru/, since i have redlens defy.

You dont have worry about the downgradability as long as you dont flash full sbf of gingerbread using rsdlite. All the dev custom roms have no problem in downgrading back to your original stock froyo. Look at if there is any WARNING IN RED regarding downgradability when you download any rom.

There are good number of ROMs to try, whenever you change ROM remember to do full wipe (factory reset and wipe dalvik cache), back up your apps and other information before you do this. If you are upgrading to night revision of same ROM, for example next nightly of CM7.2 we dont have do to full wipe, just cache and dalvik cache wipe would be fine.

If you like Stock ROM, try MS2ginger3.0 which gives awesome battery life and with full blur functionality if you like.
[Defy General] Dead_lemon:
Awesome, thanks

I'm really keen to try more custom roms out, really happy so far with this new one at the moment, but will probably try CM7 soon

Thanks for the advice, not sure I'll go back to stock rom for a long time, just feared that I'd **** something up and not be able to return to stock if needed to

Really keen to start seeing what android really has to offer now :D

DEV NEEDED/SMALI CODER

Okay, So I'm Looking Through The Framework.jar From the i9100 and There are Basically No Differences, Well, In the Over-scrolling Sections. Maybe it Isn't in Framework.jar. I Saw They Re-Enable it in Captivate, in Framework-res.apk.

Now, The Rotation Animation, I Tried With The Framework.jar But it Isn't That. It's a Lib File. Maybe The Over-scroll Effect is Too? Please, Major Help Needed, This Will Get Us High Popularity :D

Yea brotha this is going to be a hard one its libs that are the problem. I think it might have a shot on a cm rom but in our forum the tw/gb roms are better at the moment. I think that guy cyanmodics said he had them working on the cm rom the one he was going to release before he wigged out and went squirrel face on the forum.....u can try to get a hold of him maybe???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
CyanogenMOD has them, I think it will kind of help if I look into the CMSettings and Settings file and take some code out of it or something. But, maybe its in the framework.jar maybe in twframework.jar I don't know. Its a very very very big classes.dex containing 100's of folders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
De-Compiling

If anyone wants to give a crack into this,

You need to download the lastest baksmali/smali.

Put them in your "C:\ Directory".

Then take the "framework.jar" & "twframework.jar" from /system/framework/

Open them as a zip and extract "classes.dex". In different directories.

Open to cmd and go to the directory where you extracted the first classes.dex.

Now to decompile type "java -Xmx512m -jar C:\baksmali.jar classes.dex"

This will create an out folder, edit all the file.

To compile type "java -Xmx512m -jar C:\smali.jar out"

It will now create a file "out.dex", that's your modified dex file.

Now put in your zip and flash or adb push.

I'm finding overscroll effects in CMParts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
Everything they did on the Galaxy S is different in the Galaxy S II.

I cant even go in the smali to disable the Tw lockscreen for the AOSP one.

As far as the bounce effect i believe it was added to the CM source and designed by them because it wasnt even present on the Nexus S and that was the first phone with GB.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:

Mod for galaxy s 2 international. This is screen rotation and it will only work on tw roms. It depends on samsung framework. I had this working on my epic touch for a couple months so I believe it should work with your phones. I'll test it out on my brother in law's phone as soon as I talk him into letting me mess with his phone.

This is for overscroll glow. It's mod on epic touch but should be same samsung framework.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aeon44:
as the title says, there are some times that when i play my music files (.mp3), the track would just play a short part another one of my music then goes back to the track that i was originally listening without me touching my phone and the display is turned off.

in short, there are times that the original track will be replaced by another random part of one of my music randomly.

what the hell is this problem?

is it because of my MC or my phone or the music player's fault?

btw, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003.

i just updated it earlier using Kies to 2.3.6 but it still happens
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
You can try another music player like n7player or playerpro or winamp etc and see if it helps

So my ignorance is showing. :-/ Enlighten me?

Don't have the requisite 10 posts yet to post this in dev thread so I guess I have to put it here.

Just installed the Energy Rom released March 10th.

My Wifi isn't working. According to the Dev thread, this means I need a new kernel. Somebody in the thread thinks fondly of the faux kernel so I guess I am looking for that one. Could use a clue as to where to find it. :-)

Aside from no Wifi, love the Energy Rom.

Figured it out! :-)

The thread where I found the kernels was called:

[Kernel]Amaze[2.6.35.13](v009)OC~1.73/JRCU/UV/CIFS+UTF-8/Power Saving[Mar-13]

You have to look carefully but there's a site for downloading them mentioned somewhere in the first 3 entries. 2nd one, I think.

Didn't work the first time. Error made me think /system might still be read only so I booted into my custom recovery and used "Fix Permissions". That seems to have done the trick! :-)

Freaken HTC/T-Mobile. :-|

My Motorola Xoom wasn't anywhere near this difficult to get it unlocked, rooted and a custom ROM and kernel installed. Even was able to put ICS on it. ;-)

:cool:Over 5 days very light use. It is amaze me so I decide to share the experience with you sensation comrades!

Used to have battery drains with some kernel, customed ROMs. A week ago decide to try Bricked kernel and made some settings. Then the battery performance suprise me. In the past have strongly suspect HTC can not built energy saving hardware. It turns out that the HTC dev teams can not make things right. Many DEVs at XDA did better jobs then those "professionals".

See the picture.

Battery: stock

Rom: Bulletproof 1.5

Kernel: Bricked

Don't cough. I used to suffer battery drains at the airplain mode. About 25% per night. Try it yourself, you will know.

[HTC Sensation] swift2fly:
it's funny when people try to achieve better battery life, with smartphones and share their technique on how to have less drainage. everyone have their own purpose of using the phone. it really boil downs to the user. for me the best way to achieve great battery results is to not use your phone, just let it sit or get a regular cellphone.

HTC|Sensation|Cambodia
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
This is awesome. Don't listen to negativity pretty impressive stuff even on airplane mode.
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
i dont see a point for smartphones to last this long. if u call this awesome, u must be quite naiive to even buy a smartphone. if u really want long battery life, ur better off with a nokia 3310, that **** can last u 2 full weeks..

and smartphones arent meant to have long battery life also. to me, good battery life means last long enough for one whole day of use, e:g taking photos, browsing, etc. why do u think smartphones carry powerful cameras? well they're for u to use and not let it sit in your pocket just to show off your phone can last this long.

to you battery life fanatics, you guys are pretty much kids in your own world. u buy a powerhouse phone and yet u dont want to use it, u rather save the battery. what a waste of money
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
This.

What's the point of buying such an overpowered phone if all you're going to do is leave it on airplane mode and gloat about the battery life? Might as well get a razr v3.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Agreed besides its not negativity dude, we just think its pointless to preserve battery and dont use your phone at all. I got Anker for mine and everything else is stock. I can play, watch videos, use WiFi , browse the web etc and it lasts about 14 hours which is good enough for me until I get home :)
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Same here, besides, these days there's alway a charger in the neighborhood for emergency's.
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
To be honest mine doesn't last more than 8 hours with an Anker, obviously because of the amount of use, however, I think is pretty impressive that this guy got 5 days. I was just pointing that out lol
[HTC Sensation] Audrian:
i think mine was like 2 days with full usage (wifi mobile connection music camera)
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
I just put mine on the charger when it hit 50% 2 days 9 hours, 32 min of calls, 17 min of screen time, Wifi on the whole time. Energy ICS ( 15th March one ) stock kernel. I get three days out of it regularly but I'm a light user for the most part.
[HTC Sensation] forzanetti:
Agree.

I'm growing tired of having to preserve battery on my sensation. I'd like to have a fully functioning phone with a battery that last at least 12 hours. That's what I'd call good battery life.

When you have a smartphone like the sensation, but you have to dim the LED, turn off auto sync, bluetooth and wifi (when not in use), use 3G only when necessary, it kinds of defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.

That being said, I started using anker battery about 3 weeks ago, and yesterday I got the best battery life ever! Unplugged the charger at 9AM, spent the day playing a bit of games, surfing in 3G for a while, a few phone calls, wifi on all the time, GPS for around 20 mins, and at 2AM, the battery shows 41%! But of course auto sync was off and the screen brightness was about 40% all the time.
[HTC Sensation] edgg51:
the longer I can last my battery it's six hours, I'm a heavy user. I really don't get it, why would you by such a good phone to not use it, and squeeze the juice out of it?
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
6 hours is normal. for me, a smartphone is well, it's for u to fully exploit it's potential. not by dimming the screen down to 0% brightness, everything off, airplane mode then bragging "oh look! my phone lasts 6 days"!

reminds me of my iphone 4 days where u have to dim the screen down to 10% if you're gonna go on a trip. turning off sync, wifi, bluetooth and data and even that u dont have enough for 1 whole day. normally lasts for like 5 ~ 6 hours then battery low warning comes up.. that's pathetic imho.

well i got over that, turned to android and now rocking with my chicitec 1900mah battery, heavy use entire day, wifi sync data off all the time , camera 80% of the time and a little bit of gaming. started off at 8am then going back to the hotel at 9pm , still holds 30% charge. (well im on a holiday that time , have no roaming plans and it's wise to turn data and sync off lul)
[HTC Sensation] soma900:
Well got lots of disagreement from you guys, you must know my point is not what you discussed. The point is when you are not using your phone you do not like the battery run out. I used to have 25% power drop for airplain mode that is too much. Now the overnight electric consumption is just 1%. When using the phone the performance and the power saving choice must be shifted. For that I forced 2 CPUs go online all the time by default. With wifi and gps on I use 12% battery per hour.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] yearomeocrazy:
I'm actually a heavy user I have the virtuous inquisition rom I get about 10 hours. I'm not bragging but all you guys that are getting upset for a guy that posts great battery life cmon it helps if anything someone can learn something new here. Go troll something else as we know the sensation Is a great phone we're just trying to get maximum potential with a lot of use.
[HTC Sensation] rel500:
I don't see the point of this. Yes ur batter lasted 5 days. That's great but u used your phone like 10 times. See ur screen time. Umm good job NOT using your phone. Batteries generally last long without no use.
[HTC Sensation] mrveiss:
That is not quite right...

Before sensation i had a HTC Snap an used it fo about year and a half, wit heavy every day use 24/7 bluetooth, 3G, about 8 email accounts, etc...

with standard ROM, battery lasted only for day since day one, with custom ROM i managed to get up to 2 weeks maximum battery life, normal use no restrictions battery lasted for about 7 - 9 days wich was excelent, the only drainage ocoured when u turn on GPS, which drains battery compleatley in 2 -5 hours maximum, thats my experience,

i would be more than happy to acheive 48 hours of normal phone usage without recharging.

There was a topic in our local news about battery drainage aswell, and they mentioned that the cause mainly is the free apps that pushes you ads, and prevents the internet connection from idle.....
[HTC Sensation] soma900:
That is right.

I removed apps that call for internet update regularly. They are designed for 24/7 mobile internet connection. It is a waist of power when you sleep.

When phone idel (airplain mode) the CPU frequency is set to be 192/384 MHz. Phone sleep when you sleep.

During talk Both CPU frequencies are set at 192/480 MHz. This is far more sufficient.

When the screen on the max freq. is set to 1566.

When playing game Both CPUs are OC at 1920.

When the phone is in use you will need the performance. When the phone is not in use and still consuming power, it is called "battery drain".
