Future plans?

It is now about a month since the 9 April ROM was released. I installed this a couple of weeks ago and it is fairly stable for daily use.

There are however occasional hiccups such as:

1. Phone become really slow after gaming or opening multiple browser windows and browsing via WiFi or 3G.

2. Switching to another application becomes very slow at most times.

I am noticing this more and more after using the Note 800 tablet (which has much better hardware under the hood - so not a fair comparison).

The simple fix I have is to reboot the phone after browsing the Internet or playing a game. That frees up the memory and the phone is back to normal. I know, not everyone will like this workaround, but that is just what I have at the moment.

Another issue I have noticed on this ROM is that GPS fix does not happen easily, even in open sky. While outside my country, without any network, I was expecting a GPS fix using Sygic, but it never happened. So, there is some bug which has got recently introduced in this build perhaps.

Kudos to Quarx for taking this hardware so far. But what next? The 4.2.x thread is quite active, but that ROM is not for daily use (correct?).

(I did my small bit by donating. Hope it helps you buy a couple of beers at least. :) )

So, what shall we expect from the developer community for this Motorola handset which is now at least 2 years old.
[Defy Android Development] fisik:
1: try Greenify or Seeder or both and some experiments in performace tab

2: yes, but it is because of our hardware / JellyBean I guess

GPS problems could fix FasterFix applicatin + I got GPS turned on all the time (It doesnt take so much battery - and it is active only when you use GPS positioning apps (Camera, Navigation etc.)

4.2.2 is for daily use at this moment --- but I had to go back to 4.1.2 because of BT problems (its not working with simple handsfrees - like Jabra, Parrot). But for not BT using users it is stable.

Is this the last update

hi,

i jst want to know is this(09.05 Suspend optimization) is the last update from the quarx??

is this 09.05 Suspend optimization stable?? and does it showed any kind of error.

I am right now at 20130307 build and its runs fine with my everyday use. Since i dnt use Wifi so much so no issue with that.
[Defy Android Development] drunk_ryder24:
no thats just a type error done by quarx,the last cm10 build is 09.04.2013
[Defy Android Development] Nailtrail:
suspend optimization means optimizing how the phone suspends background processes, so no worries
[Defy Android Development] bonedriven:
Just want to share my own experience. I have major problem with the latest CM10 rom.

Mine is a defy green lens MB525. I came from the last normal build of CM10.

1.After flashing to the 09.04, my home and search button didn't work.

2. I flashed the first build of the 2ndboot serie then flashed 09.04, button could work but keyboard input method kept crashing.

3. I manually installed an apk input method. Still sth didn't work normally (can't remember what it was now).

4. I then flashed another version of Gapps instead of the latest version. Everything seems work now. But I feel it's slower and more power consuming than the last good version that I have used, namely the latest normal build CM10, which was the best rom I've used.

In fact I wonder if it's possible to flash back to the normal build. And why have you removed those builds from the repository?
[Defy Android Development] Floydroider:
If you mean the builds before 2ndinit, they are in the archive folder.
[Defy Android Development] s_u_n:
Will try this

Will try FasterFix and report back if it helps.

Went through the thread, but not sure if there was a simple solution for me. I will prefer FasterFix app if that does the same thing without me tinkering much with system variables/ settings.

Can't connect to camera

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me on the 'Can't connect to the camera" when opening the built-in camera app. Using an Defy with red lens, installed CM10-20130409-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.

The device had 2ndinit I followed the instruction on the FAQs:

1) Go to Custom Recovery.

2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.

3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.

4) Flash :CM10-20130409-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip

5) Flash Gapps :gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).

7) Restart.

First boot the device had stated the system is corrupted and telephony app needed restart which does not boot afterwards, had to redo these steps again on 2ndboot recovery.

Is there a tip to access the 2ndboot recovery, the red LED means it's already booted.

After reinstalling the firmware, everything went smoothly. But only the camera has issues, the firmware has the correct kernel installed or am I wrong? Or did I miss a step?

Thanks

Quarx, i think we can get some extra space in /system if you dont add the Nanum fonts (NanumGothic.ttf and NanumGothicBold.ttf). That will give us 8mb extra and i dont see any problem by deleting them. Correct me if im wrong and somebody really uses them. :cowboy:

[Defy Android Development] xdamala:
This is a bug in general CM10, not in this specific version. My wifes SGS has same problem with CM10. Unfortunately it seems like no bugs are being fixed in CM10 (all in CM10.1).

The crash can be workarounded. The default settings initially comes from some xml file. If they are added to the settings database manually the 6 levels can be changed without crash.

Quarx: Can you make sure the default light levels are in the settings.db in a fresh install? That way users will be able to change sensor levels.
[Defy Android Development] linolino:
Had same issue, that I couldn't change back to 6 levels.

But when putting 1st to fixed brightnes,

I was able to reduce to 6 levels and also modify modify these 6 levels to something useful.

After the modify and save you can go back to automatic brightnes levels again.

I personally would like to have more than 6 (actually working) automatic brightness levels.

For those who in JB don't have Camera. Install Gallery ICS & Camera ICS (don't try JB app - on JB video recording is broken.) from Play Store. It works better than original JB camera app.

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, funny you'd say that because JB+ camera app has always worked better for me. As a matter of fact just yesterday I was filming an event my daughter had at school with the ICS app (for some reason stock and JB camera app were cutting audio at about 60% of the recording, even with the modded "media_profiles.xml" file), and when I stopped the recording the app crashed and didn't save the file properly. Ended up with a 246mb MP4 file that is useless.

I think these problems are due to a rom error, and not the app specifically.

He get rid of the Moto USB Code mess and changed it to a native one (partially). This should fix usb tethering for 4.2 and made usb.apk

not necessary anymore. 4.1 uses the same driver now and adb is without any ramdisk change enabled at boot (so yes, that means you should

post logs more frequently).

Also i made some changes for interactive governor (new tunables and changed some logic parts).

07.05 contained some kernel changes by me; like tiny rcu, zlib from 3.0 and ext4 driver for ext2/ext3 filesystems (and some smaller things).

Currently Quarx is experimenting with ion stuff (don't expect anything, just experimenting), since i added genlock for it and added memblock some

while ago to my kernel it compiles easily. He's now in his godmode again ;)

Some people tends to forget that this and CM10.1 are roms under development. There is no stable version, but actually there is a stable CyanogenMOD for Defy that you can download from the official servers: CM7.2

BTW there is a little error in the updater-script (nothing really important): Line 9 is trying to mount /system again and its already mounted by line 1. And also im not having luck with adb under windows on latest build. Somebody else has tried?

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Don't Quarx's latest builds do that already? If not, would using the defy wiper scripts have any negative effects, considering these ROMs now have TWRP?
[Defy Android Development] ldnjoe:
I think as long as you don't reboot between the wipe script and reinstalling the ROM the process should work the same
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, I actually was talking about the type of format, given that I only have two wiper scripts, one that, to my understanding, formats everything to EXT3:

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p25", "/data");

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p24", "/cache");

And the other one does all to EXT4:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p25", "/data");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p24", "/cache");

When in fact, system is, and should be, as far as I know, on EXT3, and I don't know if editing the script so that it looks like this, would work:

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p25", "/data");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p24", "/cache");
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I can also confirm this. Can't be sure if it's just a problem with displaying the actual CPU usage (like previous builds in which CPU usage wasn't displayed) or if the ROM simply isn't going to 300 mhz. I'm using SetVsel to limit the CPU to VSEL1 on screen off, and it's not making any difference.
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
How many is a few hours?

After 8hours 55mins I have in BBS: 600Mhz 45mins 34seconds, 300Mhz 8hours 6mins

I can't give other values as I use 900 & 1200, not 800 & 1000

For me that helps a lot when I use the camera

Although I had to reboot after charging to get deepsleep back, Android OS went to the top consumer, usually about 5th

yeee, now i'm back to 20130507 version and power consumption is 2-3times lower at sleep, or usuasable state

[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
I think i have to make a statment :)

I have to post it again, because i think nobody actually reads it (Explanation of 600).

This should be no bug or something else, it was my intention to bring interactive to this level.

A governor should only rump up and down frequencies when its needed. It shouldn't be 25% on all states, it should stay on a freq as long

as possible, because switching freq to often is not good.

So i integrated some things to let it stay more at 600 instead of 300, this should also improve UI expirience quite a bit

(It doesn't have to go from 300 to 600 -> 800 -> 1000, because it "starts" with 600).

I can't say something about deep sleep, but i didn't touched things here, have to look tomorrow if there is a high battery drain.

If you really want to help and want to help bring development to a new level then post me something usefull.

For example i introduced some more tunables for interactive (because of some reason i knew someone will complain about the 600).

Download Trickster Mod from Market and go to governor settings for interactive (you can delete it after that). There are many things you can tweak, but please have

a closer look at "target_load". Its a %-value and shows how aggressive interactive should be to keep at a specific freq (default was 100).

Seriously we are a community, we could work better together and you can actually help us (or at least me) very easily :)

For those who want to directly look at the code; commit 1, commit 2 (there is also a nice explanation of everything).

Finally i already did some furthermore adjustments, interactive should now cap the max freq to 300 as soon as you turn off display

and return to the last freq when you turn on display, so it should be not that long on 600, i will do a commit as soon as i have some feedback from you ;)
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
Hi Blech,

Just to clarify, I like your work!

My ph used to jump straight to the top frequency, then touch on the middle two on the way back to 300

It was a case of all or nothing most of the time

Now it is using the appropriate frequency, which feels smoother & should be more battery friendly!

Thank you for your great work :)

MB525 Red lense

EDIT: After running flat & full overnight charge, everything seems to have settled down

Also changed to standard frequencies to see usage in BBS which reports almost nothing at 800Mhz & very little at 1000, most of the time is spent at 300 & when required scales to 600

In short it now works as it should & my battery has improved!

Also phone is cooler!

Great work! Thank you!!!
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I agree, but I do consider it a problem when it does not even touch 300mhz, and much less when the screen is off.
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Interactive is giving problems with the softunlock patch, sometimes the phone enters in a bootloop and reboots to bootmenu and some others systemUI is not starting (no FC, just not starting) Smartass is working ok, and boosted is bootlooping too. The scheduler doesnt seem to be a problem, in past builds SIO was giving troubles but now its only the governor.

I like the idea of not using the 300mhz freq, if there is not much difference in battery drain (because changing freq also makes the battery drain worse and it creates lags on the UI) it will be a win. But i cant test it now, because i have to use smartass.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I understand the concept, but in practise it doesn't seem to work as intended. I checked BBS yesterday, 300Mhz and 800Mhz had 0% usage. It was only 600 and 1000. That seems to indicate that the governor doesn't ramp anything at all for some reason, it just pins the CPU to the highest frequency allowed by the HAL. Interactivity is great, but considering this is a mobile device with a limited power source, power saving must also be taken into account.

Also, capping the CPU to 300 when screen off may cause other side effects, it needs testing. At least when a call is incoming it should ramp to 1Ghz immediately to respond to it,
