Getting Error : - Failed to veryfu whole file signature, installation aborted

I am getting the error "Failed to veryfu whole file signature, installation aborted" while trying to install the nightly.

Please let me know how to fix this.

Thanks
[Defy General] ko_is:
Maybe the .zip file is corrupt, you should try to download it again.
[Defy General] chernomorez:
Can someone post another link to the battery_fix zip in the first post. The one that is there now returns Error 509

Thanks

It is in my Signature - ICS mod's.

I would appreciate it if you don't copy and miror something that is not your work! The patch is in my signature. If you need to link to it, use the link in my signature, instead of reuploading it!
[Defy General] @non4:
I think a reup is fine as long as you are given credit, although I don't understand why one would be needed

Sent from the real world by hacking into the matrix
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
you are making my same mistake.. you are not using the correct bootloader but the original one in the phone instead.. install 2nd Init first..

Auris can you please add in the first post that is needed to install 2nd init first? This would help a lot of people believe me :)

thanks for your detailed instructions you are really great!

ps: in the first post you could also add the link to your other post with the defy+ root procedure instructions.... so in only only thread there could be all the steps to follow to upgrade from gingerbread to ics!
[Defy General] sppmaster:
I've flashed this ROM on Motorola Defy but about info says it is MB526. The phone is MB525 actually.
[Defy General] premaca:
That's just string in build.prop, since this is defy + builds it shows as mb526, if you change that string you can even make it to display as nexus.
[Defy General] pepcisko:
FYI - new defy+ build available. Downloading now..
[Defy General] danhtho:
what change of this build ?

anyone else installed it ?
[Defy General] deffyplus:
of course:

in system>etc>init.d> you need to delete file or move(beckup file on SD) called

"backlight.ko"

then each time after system boot, you need to change brightness of screen to desired % (because backlight button remain off after boot) or like me, I put Brightness wiget to notification drawer, and only need to tap two times (or more, depending on how your desire) :cowboy:

:cool:
[Defy General] cristianosite:
A bit off topic, but for your information, it is already available the New Firefox Web Browser for android.

It is running smooth and looks very nice.
[Defy General] pepcisko:
I'm in a process of charging battery :P before installing this one, but from what I saw on github, for selective HWA there is support for /data/local/hwui.allow/ files to get rid of that 91 character limit in build.prop. There

should

be WPA fixes that Epsylon included in his repo. But I did not study the changes too much and of course, Quarx is the best person to answer your question :)

EDIT: And I'm sure there are lots of other fixes and improvements that users usually do not see :)
[Defy General] Azulfiel:
Downloading....:good:
[Defy General] matiasrey:
Maybe it´s a placebo effect, but the transitions and animations seem to be smoother than before using 26/6. Other than that I don´t notice any big changes. The new boot animation it´s cool, though. :P
[Defy General] bone101:
Some apps like play store are faster.

Morre errors with catlog but no matter ! Rom works good

Seems quarx try some cpu power management or else because of catlog.....don't struggle me if i'm wrong

@last build
[Defy General] pepcisko:
Yes, it's very smooth. I noticed that first time after the boot the additional governors were not visible in 3rd party apps (etc. NoFrills), I can see them now. The only change I did was enable loading of all modules in the bootmenu, not sure if that solved it or if it was some sort of double reboot thingie ;) Weather and agenda on the lockscreen are nice (didn't see that in previous builds). Time will tell about other functionality, but at the moment I'm a happy "defy-er" as everything I tried worked fine... thank you Quarx !
[Defy General] Azulfiel:
It seems that battery usage is better than older builds insclusive Skanky... but I'll use it in the next hours to confirm

When panorama will work??:(
[Defy General] matiasrey:
I just noticed something: You know when you try to overscroll on the app drawer and the icons rotate a bit? Well, in previous builds they looked a bit pixelated when you did that, and know they look perfect (using Apex, of course). Seems like HWA is improving...
[Defy General] Math43:
Hello,

Is there a way to activate green led when phone is fully charged ?

Thanks !
[Defy General] mahenkpatel:
Yes you are right, the animation while overscrolling is smooth and not pixelated. I can't find any other significant change.

After migrating to cynogen mod 9 from my stock rom my battery life has reduced to half compared to what it used to be when in stock rom.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

Thanks
[Defy General] Math43:
It seems I've the same problem with the battery.
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
same here battery life reduced after upgrading from 2.3.6 to ics 4.0.4 :(
[Defy General] hackergnome:
Can u guys check if ur phone deep sleeps or not use CPUSpy app to check it
[Defy General] :
wow this OP is very fast to update his thread^^ I will install it in a while, if someone can confirm that 3g 2g is not bugged after some hours ^^

what are the other changes apart from the ones mentioned?

EDIT: Has someone tried msginger 4.0? dont you see a big difference in camera photos? (not videos cause you can have 720p) but photos seem much better in msginger, Im the only one who sees this? XD

EDIT2: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=jordanplus what are these? they are different developers adding different funcionalities to the cm9? does this work good?
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
Tried the app yes it seems deep sleep works and it does sleep most of the time here also..!:confused:

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

where can i find it and how to install it? I'm with the stock camera app but if i can get better images with a different app why not :)

Also, is really possible to enable hd videos recording in the defy+? :O if yes can you pls explain me how? Thanks!
[Defy General] :
check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140839 if you have red lense you can enable 720p recording, just follow the install procedure, Its about tastes, I personally like both so I switch from time to time but I still think the camera preview on ics is worse I just need someone to test it and confirm that im not mad
[Defy General] Math43:
Same for me, Phone is deep sleeping well.
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
too complicated and not so clear.. that's not for me.. thanks anyway bye! :)

Camera does not seem to work, when I take a picture the app crash. My Defy is a Defy+ with red lense.
[Defy General] :
I think you can, let me search I remember I see someone which also wanted this and finnally he got it working :)
[Defy General] apurvdate:
try clearing camera data..
[Defy General] Math43:
Thanks for you're help.

Same problem after clearing data.... but after I try to take some photos (+- 10 pictures) and it's works two times on ten. :confused:

Camcoder FC each time...
[Defy General] :
for the ones with camera issues if you dont find any solution make a fresh install, its obvious it isnt a bug or something to solve so its something you have done wrong during the installation process (or you've just installed on top of another rom instead of following the stepbystep installation guide in the first post)
[Defy General] Math43:
I follow step by step the installation guide on the first page and I do the installation on a stock GB ROM.
[Defy General] pepcisko:
I just tried.. no issues with the camera or camcorder. Only panorama doesn't work. The difference - I understand you're on BL7? What is the kernel? I'm on BL6, having CM9 installed on top of 4.5.1-134-DFP-132, kernel is 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid52 #1
[Defy General] Math43:
Yes I'me on BL7, DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN, and my Kernel is 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid51.
[Defy General] Twilight_alex:
Hi, yesterday I updated my Defy from one Quarx nightly to the newest one. At first everything was perfect, but today I was browsing the web with my phone and suddenly it rebooted itself. The problem is that it won't pass the Motorola logo and now I can't turn it on if I don't plug it in the AC charger. Plus, when I plug it the only thing I can do is watch a battery image with an "?" inside.

What can I do to fix this? Please help me! :S
[Defy General] :
This looks like you are using cm9 kernel but didnt apply the battery fix for red lense defy and know you are out of battery and can't charge it because your phone actually doesnt know how to charge your phone, so get another defy and charge your battery and solve the problem installing in recovery the cm9 battery fix for red lense

by the way, I remember there was an option to disable playstore in spanish is "Habilitar datos de referencia" and you untick that option and you couldn't entery playstore unless you activated it and also your sync went off!, I actually used it pretty much in ms ginger cause it saves lots of battery but I cant find it in cm9 where it is? i dont remember XD

I have found the way to disable sincronization but not the "Habilitar datos de referencia" stuff please HELP!
[Defy General] espaciosalter20:
i tried two times to install cm9 as second boot, but doesn't even start (black screen and bright haptic buttons) and gingerspeed doesn't boot either....
[Defy General] chris...:
Has anyone managed to get the WiFi hotspot tethering to work?
[Defy General] Twilight_alex:
THANK YOU!!! I managed to put the fix in my SD and access the recovery through Bootloader. After flashing it my phone works perfectly!

By the way, I have one more question: Is it possible to "unflash" any .zip thay I flash in the recovery?
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
The only way to unflash a zip is to flash another zip over it

I'm getting a new Defy plus tomorrow (renewed my wife's contract)... very excited :D

Any tips and tricks for rooting? I've looked at the defy bl7 root thread and I'm busy downloading the files now... anything else I should know?
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
I found out today that the new build requires the battery fix (just flashed it today, 'cause last night my battery wasn't charged).

Whenever you flash a new ROM, the easiest way to find out if you need to flash the battery fix is to watch the battery. If percentage doesn't drop for over 2 hours, then you DEFFINITELY need to flash the fix.

Use this link and you'll be fine. ;) I have tested it personally and there is nothing else that could be added.
[Defy General] cristianosite:
What works for me regarding battery fix is:

Go to Settings->About the phone->Status>Battery status

If the battery status says "unknown" deffinetely you'll need the battery fix. In case it says "charging" or "discharging" you don't need the battery fix.
[Defy General] krlox_rokr:
option buttons

hi i recent flashed the rom apparently all is going ok, i have some of lag in camcor, i'm going to flash the other kernel, i was looking for the option buttons(to use the button with the squares to open the apps running and add the option bar in the right top of the apps) in system settings, has this rom that option?

thanks!
[Defy General] Indizann:
I'm currently running the 09-06 build of Quarx on My Defy+ and everything runs smooth. Except streaming video doesn't seem to work, not youtube or any other video.

Recorded video with camera is no problem.

Been searching through some threads like this one, but can't seem to find a solution. Or is this known bug?
[Defy General] cristianosite:
Not for me. Streaming video is working fine in all recently Quarx's build. Maybe a full wipe could solve? Not sure.
[Defy General] krlox_rokr:
does flash player work? because the videos start and stop :/ for me
[Defy General] danhtho:
Google has just present Android Jelly Bean 4.1, when we can install it on Defy+

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Defy General] krlox_rokr:
jejeje yeah the new guy in the family, but i guess we have to wait a "time" to see it running on our defys, because we have ics months ago...... and it's hard to do that works at 100%,this is designed to work on new hardware :/
[Defy General] Indizann:
thats also what i'm experiencing

When i visit youtube for example, and select a random video. It starts playing for 1-2 sec, usually only sound and then it stops
[Defy General] razorinc:
is this rom also for defy or only defy+? i am new sorry for such questions...
[Defy General] cretu22:
Good morning,

On defy+, rooted, I try to install this cm9_26062012.

Installation aborted.

Any help?

[Defy General] slaphappy76:
[offtopic] Bootanimation Android 4.1

Hello,

i hope it works...

my MB526 works fine with them ;)
[Defy General] niksy+:
What issues? Deep Sleep is the sleeping state of the phone. The state in which it uses the least energy and in which a DEFY could most probably be alive for a week, maybe even longer. On CM9 around 1% of battery is spent per hour and a half in deep sleep.

So, if during your sleep, the battery goes down by 3-4-5%, you have nothing to complain about.

Other than that, you can undervolt your CPU, don't know if you have done that, already, you haven't mentioned, and switch the governor to boosted after that, because it keeps the phone in lower frequencies more often (while maintaining the same performance like ondemand) and therefore prolongs battery life.
[Defy General] cretu22:
Thanks

Now is working.

How can be added contacts on home screen for fast dialing?
[Defy General] mahenkpatel:
The issue is that before flashing to ics 4.0.4 My phone used to run for a full day with normal usage but now after installing ics, it goes empty in just 10-12 hours with the same usage.

The deep sleep is working fine and the cpu is also in full load only during 5% of the time.

What else could be the problem?
[Defy General] niksy+:
How you installed with a full wipe prior to that? Data/cache/dalvik

Check under CPU Settings in the Bootmenu if "Load All Modules" is set to yes. If it's not, set it to yes, save and reboot. If it's already on yes, set to no, save, reboot into system, reboot back into bootmenu, set to yes, save and reboot.

What phone do you have? A DEFY green or red lense or a DEFY? If one of the first two, have you flashed some of the recommended kernels?

Have you switched your baseband to a proper one or does your phone constantly lose signal? <= This is a big battery consuming problem.
[Defy General] mahenkpatel:
I will try all of that.

I have defy+ and it was written not to flash the kernel if its defy+

Should I flash kernel as well?
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
defy+ here. I have the problem battery too.. and had the "Load all modules" set to disable.. I enabled it and rebooted. after doublechicking, I confirm it is still set as enable now. what is that? what is it going to do on the cell? btw, if it improves the battery life you will be my genius :cowboy:

about baseband here, I left the default settings, and I'm not experiencing any loss of signal so far..

thanks bye!

PS: any chance to get tapatalk without paying for it? :D or at least a free good alternative?
[Defy General] Math43:
I try to reinstall from zero quarx CM9 with stepbystep guide and problem is the same, FC when I take a picture...

Here is my logcat http://paste2.org/p/2061979
[Defy General] chris...:
Does anybody at all use WiFi tethering?
[Defy General] niksy+:
Don't flash any kernel zips if you have a DEFY+, that is correct :) Try the rest of the list :fingers-crossed:

Hmm, what "load all modules" option is... It enables (or disables) loading of some modules that allow the CPU to be controlled from the Android OS itself. I guess they are disabled by default for the sake of novice users.

But, other than that, it has been reported by a number of users that that was what helped them achieve normal (for ICS) battery life. (which is usually longer than battery life on GB)

P.S. Both of you, make sure you didn't disable USB Debugging. Keep it ON. For some reason, the phone goes all wacko when you disable it. It's a known bug ever since the first CM9 builds for the DEFY..!
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
thanks for the reply!

actually I tried many times to disable the USB debugging as I don't need it anymore, but after each reboot it is automatically set to enable again! :eek: so maybe to avoid problems they made this option not possible to change..?! ;)
[Defy General] mahenkpatel:
Can't say about the battery but enabling all modules in boot menu has made the interface much smoother and fast.

Thanks:)

Some problems

Got the latest build running, everything awesome. But got 2 problems:

1) I cant seem to be able to send any message

2) The browser crashes as soon as I start a new window.

The browser crash seems to be because of the known HWA problem.

But what about the SMS? I can receive SMS but cannot send them. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks to the porters (quarx). Awesome job.
[Defy General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
You are more than welcome to open your own thread and include anything you find interesting in it. ;) There are a ton of threads, regarding how to root Defy, there is a huge All-in-One thread, where all that stuff about rooting, RSD Lite, SBF's, Motorola drivers, 2nd-init, e-fuse and more are described thoroughly! However, this is not the purpose of this thread. I can't and don't want to maintain All-in-one thread just because somebody's not willing to do a little digging and reading. Everyone has a head on their shoulders and is responsible for their actions. This thread assumes you already know about rooting and 2nd-init and are somewhat familiar with flashing custom ROM's! It's not meant to teach users the A and B in Defy.

Thank you!

It will, but your camera won't. Since this is a Defy+ build, it only works with GB kernels and green-lensed SOC modules don't. Bottom line - phone will work, camera - not.

1. Back up all of your apps, do a full wipe (data/cache and dalvik cache) and reinstall your backed up apps.

2. Use Opera Mobile (not mini) - doesn't crash, supports multiple windows AND FLASH ;)
[Defy General] Scottyy:

Is there going to be support for infrastructure mode tethering any time?
[Defy General] Dr4G0nZ:
Phone is bricked, I think.

My phone is stuck on the red logo, been here for a while haha...

I flashed from 2.3.4, and I used these 3 things:

The Defy Nightly Build from March:

CM9-NIGHTLY-120308-Defy(hwa).zip

The CM9 Kernel

The Gapps:

gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

I followed the instructions perfectly.. almost, except I didn't set it to stable recovery (whoops!..). I've tried setting the clocking settings to OnDemand but it didn't do anything at all.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!
[Defy General] kanpurite:
I think that nightly was based on froyo kernel.

(so you dont need to flash cm9 kernel)

use froyo kernel as base or flash a defy plus nightly
[Defy General] Dr4G0nZ:
Haha, I was just about to report over here that flashing a Defy+ nightly worked. Thanks anyways! :)
[Defy General] FcukBloat:
no problem it was a suggestion, as many people is keeping asking the same things (as I did when I tried to install ICS :p )

didn't mean to suggest you to write all the steps in this thread to have a full and all-in-one guide, but at least I would have added a "requirements" part at the beginning of the guide where I would have just written something like 1. rooted phone 2. 2nd init..

but of course it is your thread and you can do whatever you wish!

bye !

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

here multiple windows and bookmarks sync don't work.. is that normal because we are on an "unauthorized" ICS or what?
