Stable???

I too have a lack luster experience with the stable CM 7.2 after doing a complete reinstall, starting with the CEE.sbf. The biggest 2 things I see as needing attention are: battery life and network connectivity. Battery drain is significant I get about 1 day when I know this device is capable of 2, from prev ROMS, at my typical usage. Battery drain is mostly due to cell standby and display, but for my usage it should be phone idle I don't use it that much. I don't know about the display issue, prolly something to do with sleep but the signal issue appears to be bad connectivity in places where I know signal should be good. I am on Tmobile USA network and have tried all BB's, 1 is certainly better than others but none are as good as factory.

How much does the base SBF affect the performance? Previously I used the nordic base and think it was better, I tried the most recent UK and it sucked, then I tried CEE becaus Quarx apparently vouches for it. Guess I'm gonna go back to Nordic?
[Defy Android Development] The Thug:
I came over from Wiui, did a full data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and everything is running smoothly.
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
SBF shouldn't affect performance, it is rather kernel that matters. Up to my experience last maniac's built is really great. Seems battery lasts longer than in CM official (had 1 - 2 days, now with maniac's I have 40% after 2,5 a day). Plus you have a system A-GPS which works great when you have no data connection and need gps.

I flashed last CM7 kernel, which may also matter.

Ps. have you considered that lower phone idle percentage might be due to better deep sleep?
[Defy Android Development] buizon:
Hi Guys! I'm currently using CM7.2 stable. can I just flash maniac's build without data wipe?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
Should work without a problem, though I always prefer clean install - just 30 minutes longer as I have a lot of stuff. Just observe if u have any lags.

When I was on 7.2 stable I had a strange battery drop from 30 to 4%, when made clean install of last maniac's nightly the battery drop vanished.
[Defy Android Development] buizon:
Thanks! I made a clean install of the 7.2 stable. it's quick and all. but battery seems to drain fast and i'm having problems in wifi. I need to on and off wifi just to connect to web site i'm going to.

Thanks for the help!
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Sorry, where I can find Maniac's builds?

Thanks

[Defy Android Development] cerber@:
I had been running on CM 7.1 RC1 for a long time which built in last September. Had no problems at all. Installed CM 7.2 couple of days ago, the battery gauge doesn't work properly. Gone back to CM 7.1 stable, same thing. I didn't do a clean install, just wiped partition, dalvik cache no factory reset. I haven't had too may roms on my phone coming from nordic to CM 7.1 than 7.2. I wonder when the zip file to be installed from sd card which recovery do you go for: stable or custom? The surprising thing when I'm in the boot menu the battery percentage ok.
[Defy Android Development] rabe3ab:
I've tried 7.2 stable

it is a good one but still waiting for stable cm9
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Thanks!

I installed the cm-7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-jordan-signed.zip: at first use I had the battery charge drop bug from about 30% to 15% and it seems to persist also after the battery calibration.
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
And it would be great if someone who knows how battery indicator works - I mean which files are responsible - would explain it. There are some threads with different tips which work for some and do not for others.

I had opposite experience than ziki - had bad drop (30>4%) which occured every time with official cm7.2 and which totally vanished after installation of cm-7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-jordan-signed.zip by maniac. So I am just :victory: and :confused: which I do not actually like
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
Have an idea on batt drops: i do have a drops on cheap batteryes i've used hardly last year, but i haven't yet catched drop on original battery i rarely use cause i kinda care about it since i expect it to work better than others. My defy usage means i spend about 1.5+ batterys/day, so oftenly i kill 2 cheap batterys/day and charge them later @night.
[Defy Android Development] The Thug:
I've had no issues with battery levels dropping weirdly.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
I still have battery level drop every discharge.

I'm quite sure that this problem start (for me) from 7.2rc3 or maybe 7.2rc2.

I actually use original motorola battery.

So I will do two separate test:

1. use another battery (not original) already purchased

2. flash 7.2rc1
[Defy Android Development] pss214:
i can't use my own melody for my ringtone in RC3 :(

help please
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
I keep my ringtones in sdcard\Ringtones\ and never had a problem, also with RC3 (personalizing my contacts' ringtones is the 1st thing to do for me after ROM change ;-))
[Defy Android Development] pss214:
yeah.. but i don't have the option to do that...

could be from replacing the launcher with the gingerbred stock launcher? :silly:
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
Another issue, on 2 green lens defy: system (touch screen only?) very slow and laggy when phone charges. Any experience?

cm7.2 maniac's 2806
[Defy Android Development] observingi:
The battery, erratically drops at around 30%, jumps down to around 19%. Then it progressively drains till 1%. It stays on to 1% till the battery actually looses it's juice. Tried maniacs nightly builds too but does not resolve the issue.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Both tries fail :(

So, the problem for my understanding was always present in 7.2 releases.

Hope it will be fixed.
[Defy Android Development] soueumesmoaki:
i'm using the 7.2 rc1, and i have like 3 drops of battery.

from 79~69 to 50%

from 41 to 19

and 14 to 4

have you attempted to wipe the battery status? i forgot how to do it so didn't do it yet. :P
[Defy Android Development] observingi:
I have done battery stats wipe, even the zeppelinrox method, does not help the battery drop issue.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
I always charge to 100% and do a battery calibration after flashing a ROM.
[Defy Android Development] lefedor:
question to maniac: is HWA usable for cm7.2? If yes, any plans to integrate it?
[Defy Android Development] Nemado:
In case you haven't tried Epsylon's latest cm9, I suggest you do. I hate beta testing stuff because I like when things work and his last nightly is almost feature complete. I have not encountered any bug, freeze, crash or reboot. Try it.
[Defy Android Development] francois64:
Hey

I have the same battery problem, dropping eraticaly.

I'm on CM9 120709 but it was the same with other versions.

I wiped everything, did a clean install, did a battery calibration and now i'm stuck !

Any idea to solve this problem ? fortunately, it seems that i'm not the onlyone...

Some clues :

Usually in iddle mode, battery drain is about 2% per hour, last evening i have charged battery to 100%, i noticed 8% per hour drain all night long so i got 20% this morning !!!
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
This battery drain should be repaired by dalvik cache wipe. Check in battery usage whether it has deep sleep or only a standby. If yes then wiping shall help.

Ps. Usually in idle mode it is rather 1% per 2 hours, not 2% per hour (I loose ca 3% per night)

Which add ons with 7.2?

Hi,

I want to install latest stable CM7.2 on MB525. I have a few questions since most tutorials are about 7.1.

Do I need additional packages?

GPS Fix

Baseband switcher

Do I need to install the google apps zip from recovery, or can I get the google apps later from market?

Is the memory fix necessary, or is it already part of the rom?

Thanks for any help.
[Defy Android Development] pjgowtham:
Install rom and gapps..baseband I should b there in settings
[Defy Android Development] dagoban:
Baseband switcher is already included

but you need gapps! otherwise you wont have such things as the market ;)
[Defy Android Development] davo.arto:

[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
Google Sync will only restore your contacts, calendar etc.

ColorNote has option to synchronize with your google account, if you haven't done it yet do it ;)

For all applications and their data (eg progress in games) you have to do a backup using software like Titanum Backup. Just do a batch operation "Make backup for all user applications" and after flashing new rom do "Restore user applications" ;)

UH-OH

Uh-Oh, came across a big hiccup here...Yesterday the phone turned into one big slug....I checked Manage Applications and i have about 120MB free RAM, and the phone was extremely unresponsive. Then apps started freezing and had to force quit them. I was able to reboot, and it seemed to sort out.....then this morning....the same thing happened and this time @ work.

I did a recovery boot and was gonna flash back to 7.1 cause I don't have too much time to play around, but I had deleted the 7.1 from my SD card. I went ahead and wiped cached and delvik atleast and i'll keep you all posted.

[Defy Android Development] chachoi:
as far as Benchamarking apps go, I think they aren't accurate as they change your score from time to time.

I always get the highest scores on Maniac Nightlies, but I'm sticking with Euroskank Nightlies just because he updates it regurarly, like everyday
[Defy Android Development] bhupatib:
I have only seen Quarx or Epsylon3's builds for defy...can you link to Euroshank's?

Btw is this nightly for Defy+ (GB kernel) as well?

[Defy Android Development] LetoKynes:
Had the same problem too. Was still the same after a reboot, so I tried doing a proper switch off/on and it was ok after. However, WiFi doesn't seem to be detecting any networks at the moment (Laptop can see it fine as you can see here).

Edit: Nevermind, left WiFi off for a while and turned it back on, works now :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well the kanger originally had a defy+ and tested his builds on it, but he had to try a lot to get it to start working, sbf wise. So it'll probably be hit and miss on gb kernel...

Now he bought a defy too I think.
[Defy Android Development] bhupatib:
Hmmm... I wonder if there're no significant improvements in the GB kernel over the froyo one, so people with defy don't have to worry about 'upgrading' kernels?

And slightly off topic but even the AOKP and CNA (codenameandroid) official developer will start porting for a Defy (his pledgie says he needs money for a defy not d+).

It has happened again....out of nowhere my device starts getting sluggish...this time scrolling through the gallery. I push on the back button, unresponsive, then it prompts ADW Launcher is unresponsive, etc, force quit, wait. I sometimes wait and it comes back, sometimes i force quit. So for now....i'm going back to 7.1 where....nothing of the sorts happened.

Just my 2 cents,

[Defy Android Development] pbaumi:
no gapps, no root, ...

Hi all,

tried usual update path (wipe data, wipe cache, flash cm7, flash gapps) but there are no google apps like market, maps, and also no Superuser and "permission denied" if i try "su" in the terminal?

What else I tried: reflash, reflash with or without wipe (cache, dalvik, data), reflash with quarx' nightly... no difference.

Any Idea, what's wrong?

P.S. CM7.1. worked mostly flawlessly

Thx! :confused:
[Defy Android Development] adiq_ambro:
Sadly same here, and it wasn't any of my 'user apps' causing that.

I had symptoms like this when i flashed wrong Gapps. Try ones from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps .
[Defy Android Development] pbaumi:
Thanks, but 20110828 should be the correct version. I checked MD5-sum after download and on SC-Card.

As per cynogen forum no need to flash gapps if you already on CM7.1 it will restore all.

It is working awesome.:)

Hello all,

I want to switch to this rom but I need some informations and help.

I come from link: [ROM][17 Feb] GGL ROM - Defy Green Lens [Android 2.3.6]

GGL rom is based on the nandroid provided by walter79's, and is based on 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 from 12. Jan. 2012. The installation included a boot & devtree restore.

Epsylon said "Remember its a "release" build, with a kernel included (179-4) ! don't flash that on Defy+ (and defy+ sbfs, Bootloader gen 6+)!"

My Defy (not+) is a Green Lens one.

My questions:

Can I switch to CM 72 safely ?

How can I get informations about the bootloader of my headset ?

It's safe to restore my previous boot and devtree as I backup them before GGL installation ?

thx
