We're now at a point where the base system works quite nicely and the only real changes are made on a kernel basis.

I have yet to see a flaw on the 02/11 nightly which would deserve the name. CM explorer not working? It didn't work before.

It didn't even exist.

Button backlight might be a different case for me, since half of them are dead already.. and I never understood the obsession with them.

I wouldn't need them to be lit altogether, I mean, it's 4 buttons, right? If you hit the wrong one you must either have enormous sausage fingers, or a complete lack of orientation.

Of course it's not always better to flash the latest most experimental rom, but complaining about something that might have even been fixed on a new version though not updating seems a bit strange, especially if there aren't any real downsides to it.

There are still people around here who are on CM9, because they think it's safer, more stable, or simply don't know any better, yet still ask for changes or improvements for a desolate build.

I don't get it how people who should know better (judging by their registration date) are still incapable of finding things out on their own.

A flash takes a mere 10 minutes and you're going to have a first hand experience on the state of your problems being fixed, which seems a lot more effective than barking up the tree in this thread, when other people didn't encounter errors because their workflow and use of their device is completely different.

For battery drain please check display timeout...

[Defy Android Development] EdwardN:
Lets see... battery drain/drops seems to still be present in some devices

package access helper consumes 80%+ cpu for 5 minutes after install/uninstall of apps, also caused reboots for me, but not every time (since 10/18 v4 update)

cpuspy doesn't display wake/sleepstates (since custom kernel + interactive)

netflix app locks up on loading (since 9/28, I think, previous to that it loaded but wouldn't play videos, played videos on CM7)

And yes, while minor, button backlight IS supposed to dim based on background lighting or manual setting, so that is a bug. If it doesn't bother you, and your phone runs perfectly, then you don't need to be here. Dev threads are for bug reports, not for people call out others for reporting them.

I'm getting very low space in the /system partition. I had to delete a few apks like Trebuchet and CM Wallpapers for gapps. Is it just me? Otherwise this nightly is awesome!

Heavy connectivity issues with 11/02 version!

Something changed about general connectivity in the last build. I was connected to my home wi-fi network, as always, without any problems. My network's encryption is open, since I do MAC address filtering instead. Then, I left my home towards my mother-in-law's, which has a WPA2-PSK encrypted network (which never gave me any issues in previous builds). Througout the way, my mobile network took over without any issues. So far, so good. Then, after reaching that house, my Defy refused to connect to that wi-fi network. I tried to turn wi-fi off and back on, to no avail. After a reboot, it was unable to find my mobile network anymore. I tried to turn data off and on, airplane mode off and on, and nothing! I had to wipe cache and dalvik cache again, in order to have it back. But, again, it refused to connect to my mother-in-law's WPA2-PSK encrypted network. I don't want to go back to the 10/18 build. The new build is much more fuild than that one. Besides, I would miss the NTFS format support.

Anyone with such issues?
[Defy Android Development] AlexGraves:
I would like to share a report regarding my experience with battery issue...

I must say that battery age contributes to its performance.

My old original battery was 2 years old. It won't last more than 6 hours in my daily usage and network condition.

Then I purchased a new (not original & larger battery).

No more sudden drops even though I use it practically the same way.

Also this would answer to the question regarding Quarx's kernel in handling larger capacity batteries.

I can charge the battery to 100% without any problem.

[Defy Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's really not an appropriate question for a development thread and is exactly the kind of question we're trying to avoid here. Something like that belongs in the Q&A section or in one of the support threads (here and here). I'm not picking on you Boss442, but rather than remove your post, I'm trying to use this as an example of what we expect going forward for development threads like this.

Hi,

Just flashed CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525 nightly..and facing a issue with Backlight during calls...is there any way i can keep the backlight on??
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
I believe it's caused due to the nature of of 2ndboot. Shutting down the phone completely, vs only reseting it, would solve the problem.
[Defy Android Development] nafania_19:
it is an old build. use 2andboot. find it in quartz's ftp.
[Defy Android Development] Arjoma:
No more flashing zips?

Can someone give me a tip why I can't install zip files from recovery anymore?

To e precise, it works successfully, but after rebooting Nothing has changed (the case for the Android 4.2 camera, Clock, keyboard). It's a bit dissapointing and quite strange imho.
[Defy Android Development] rvd_516:
thnx

thnx for ur quick response...cud u pls guide me with link or how to do it?
[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
It is because your system partition is full, and new apps are just not copied.

Check if it's true in Root Explorer (when you open system folder, the information should be written in the left upper corner.)

exactly the same with what you did when you instaled 24.09

and don't worry about the model in the name of the ROM it's the same for both Defy and Defy +

Just flash it normaly

[Defy Android Development] Deonix:
My experience with 02.11 flashed over 18.10V4 (see my full config in signature). Smoothest built till now.

I can slide into Nova Launcher Prime without lag (in the Widget tab especially).

Apps start faster. (TB does not take 1 hour to read all Apps in my phone for example).

Button backlight patched and set to "low" (from that Zip someone made) again.

Had some battery drops ( from 50 to 35, from 30 to 19) but i charged my battery on the go so... i'll wait and see.

It does go into Deep Sleep Ok.

Noticing some touch issues (i did not experienced this before) in Nova Launcher. It doesn't record my finger slides sometimes , but i will look into it.

Google Now works with all the new cards (updated from PlayStore) I tried the new 4.2 camera and i find it so and so. Could not make a Photosphere (just exits after starting one... i tried some fixes posted but it's not that important), I like the new Gallery but it takes longer to load and no big features were added so we can easily stay with the one we already use.

The Sliding sphere menu on camera is not so good ( at least not for the Defy screen size) I saw a demo on the Nexus4 and it looked Ok. I mean the finger blocks the options so you don't see that well what you are selecting. You can try 360 Panorama App from Playstore for example which does the same thing if you really want the feature now.

Great Job on this build goes to Quarx. Your work is highly appreciated here.

For the CM file manager problem,just open superuser app and select "temp unroot" in the info tab. Open CM file manager and it will work. After you can unselect the "temp unroot" case and CM file manager will continue to work.

It is a little slow for now but it is a new great app. So just wait a little.
[Defy Android Development] prisacariu:
I can confirm the battery drops. And they are surely related to wi fi conectinon.

After 1 day and 8 h since unplug i had 58% i ( normal usage) i have connected to wifi this morniv for 5min and after a liitle time when i left the house i had 48% .

Other than that ok and smooth. P.s. i am in the 2/11 build with a full sbf intall.

@Arjoma:

I had to delete the apks (for keyboard&gallery) from sytem/app manually before installing zip, because they had different names,than the new ones, so the old ones weren't overwritten. That's why I first ended up with duplicated gallery and keyboard app, and system using the old ones.
[Defy Android Development] FlashTec80:
Off topic...

I honestly feel sorry for the mods trying to watch over this thread.

It must be a full time job because of all posts in the style of "oh look at me I got a new battery and my drains stopped", "Does the newest Gapps include Google now? " or even better might be the question that look something like this" where do I find a link to download the newest nightly" the list could be made longer than a trip to the moon. And all these questions is what the mods have to read their way through and take in to consideration if they should be deleted or not instead of spending time on their personal life.

I myself have been a moderator, not in this forum thou and I can actually say that all the time I spent there made me a single because I spent to much time on that place and forgot about my personal life.

Now I'm not saying that all mods end up single I'm just trying to point out how much time it can take to deal with stupid, idiotic and just posts put in the wrong thread. This is hardly not the only thread in the defy forum and you can even post own threads in for an example the general forum if you don't find the answer on your questions.

And that is just to help the mods getting thru their days easier and not taking into consideration how much less time myself and people who follow this thread would have to spend on reading things that doesn't belong here or is just unnecessary to exist at all.

If you want to understand what I have been saying here then back up like 10 - 15 pages and read to this point trying to put in mind that you are either a Dev or a mod and what they would like to see in this thread and what not.

Mod feel free to delete this post as it is off topic and not really needed in this thread.

Cheers :)

[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Please don't start unfounded rumours

Loading the symsearch.ko module has no effect whatsoever on the led behind your search button. All this kernel module does is to enable access to non-exported kernel symbols. It does not directly control any hardware.

It is possible that that led needs more current to light up than the others. By loading the symsearch.ko module you re-enable button backlight modulation (which was the whole purpose of this change). If your button backlight settings are different from stock (100%) the led behind your search button might not get what it needs to light up. Try changing the button backlight settings (in Settings, device group, Advanced settings, Button brightness).

You can also see what happens when you boot the phone. When the backlight.ko module is loaded it cycles the buttons through the brightness spectrum (the screen will be black when it does this, just watch the whole boot process). Does the search button light up? Does it go dark before the others do?
[Defy Android Development] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
Mate, the light does not light up as before, 0% or 100% makes no difference at all; at boot it does not light up too :(
[Defy Android Development] sgipeter:
Screw symsearch.ko!

For me loading symsearch.ko not helped with buttonbacklight but did mess up the CPU settings moving it from the bootmenu-preset INTERACTIVE to ONDEMAND (possibly from overclock.sh?) which causes furtherlags and also messing up frequencies.

This can be checked out at Settings/Performance/Processor.

anyways DO NOT RECOMMEND using it.
[Defy Android Development] Sleepy!:
Aren't the .ko file and fix.zip for the button backlight problem?

2nd Nov build is also kinda slow. Lags (of 1-2 seconds) are still present. This is the nth time I'm saying this, but on my phone, the old v3 update was much faster.

:mad: I'm talking about the experience on MY phone, so people please resist the urge to reply to this post saying something like 'I'm on 02.11 and everything is great, with no lag', unless you have anything more to say, other than just that. (Sorry for the mini-rant.)

I know this post will still be followed by people who will say that I'm doing it wrong if I have lags, and to those people I say, I have maintained the same settings since 18.10 I've not installed any new apps, and so, there's no external reason for the ROM to slow down.

Battery life has improved significantly, with 4 hrs 28 mins on continuous 3G and 18% left.

On last build (v4) I got 3 hrs 20 mins on continuous 3G with 19% left over.

However, the phone does heat up a LOT if I use it while it's still plugged in to the charger. At times it even stops charging while still plugged in while I'm using it.

Flashed the FIX.zip from a few pages back, and never got any button backlight problems. Though I use custom brightness levels, so the auto backlight issue might not even have been noticed by me in the first place.

Dear rvd_516 and all my fellow noobs,

Look we're not out to heckle you, but this IS a development thread, and most people here are tired of noob questions.

Ask for as much help as you want to, but do it on the dedicated Q&A thread.

You'll get all the assistance you need over there.

Please keep in mind that there is already 1 whole Q&A board and 2 separate Quarx CM10 help threads (you can find those on the Defy General board).

Go ask anything over there.

If you post over here for guidance on obvious and solved issues, you're just messing up an already messy thread.

Regards,

KM
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Again, symsearch.ko has no relation to the governor used, nor does it 'mess up the CPU settings'.

What can 'mess up the CPU settings' is a failed edit to overclock.sh, as that script is involved in setting the governor (just below install_module(). in set_scaling(). A single typo {c|w}ould mess up everything related to the CPU settings.

Have a look at your copy of overclock.sh to see whether it matches mine (attached to this posting) or just use mine (rename it from overclock.sh.txt to overclock.sh first)
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Does it light up in the boot loader or in recovery? If not, it sounds like you have a physical defect on your hands. If the phone is still under warranty - and you care enough about that led - you might want to have it fixed by Motorola... Just make a (nandroid) backup first and install stock firmware before you send in the thing. Remove your SD card before sending it as well...
[Defy Android Development] AlessandroMS:
Camera options

Options to adjust contrast, flash and balance are unavailable on my Defy+. Corresponding control icons appear at gray color and they dont work.
[Defy Android Development] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
It does not light up anymore ( same behaviour in recovery as while booting up or using the rom ) at all after having edited that line: nor replacing the old file or reflashing the whole ROM ( or a full sbf ) helps :D

That's why i posted a warning: I suspect that something was messed up because it is really strange that it happened just when I edited the file adding one line in order to get the button brightness to work fully.

No problem, I won't send the thing.

Have a nice day
[Defy Android Development] Deonix:
It's OK. it does not stutter to much. I find it good for a quick video of something. Maybe LG camera can be set better. For me as long as i can see clearly what i record and has sound it's ok. It's not like i am hoping for comparison with 720, 1080 quality as i see in new phones. Also i don't record to many videos... I know the Defy does not have a great camera module, i find it decent. I have Camera Zoom which fares well .

Funny faces FC. Time laps options work but i can't tell if it's that good. It's interesting to make a 1 hour time laps and see how it looks on bigger screen.

[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
Yes it is working, you need to find a patched APK. BUT it is useless as you do not gave a gyroscope and you will not be able to move from one pin point to another. So it's better to leave it at that.

This top command was run while installing a package through adb. There is obviously something amiss in that CPU utilisation calculation...
[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
It could, but you can only move the image upwards or downwards, because the axis on the accelerometer change that way, for rotating left or right no axis values change. It's true that the compass can be used at this point to help move left or right, but the problem becomes the sensitivity of the magnetometer. In my opinion it just can't be sensitive enough to give the accuracy for taking even a close to good photo.

Even up or down is almost impossible to reach as the camera works now.

I'm not very confident that things will work out in the future, but i'm not saying it's impossible.

Never stop thinking :D

I appreciate some of the comments here about the difficulty of keeping threads like this cleaned and organized, especially with so many users not following instructions. However, this is the job I signed up for, so it's not a big deal. :)

That being said, since nothing else seems to be working, I'm going to temporarily close this to force people to use the other support threads for this ROM. If you have a legitimate bug to report and serious question that needs answering, use the support threads (an absolute last resort would be PMing the developer).

congradilastions quarx

im not a developer,more of a software geek thereby i could not do this(to lazy to code)but i remember talking with quarx and other great devs on project cheesecake about avoiding bootloader signature check on kernel;the whole deal was that quarx took my advice about second boot witch allows the phone to start normal with initial kernel but 2ndboot switches with another kernel thus it doesnt needs to boot from sys partition,on 2nd boot you can boot the new kernel from any specified partition or file(ex sd card).The purpose of this is that i hope quarx will provide us a jb kernel(if he's kind and his spare time allows)
