I don't know how to interpret all of this let's say complains, I don't know why some of us have so many problems and some does not, but I must say 'thank you' to Quarks and all of you who are concerned in the project.

For me the overall performance of latest build is the best ever. It's not dictated by the excitement of having the newest nightly. I don't like saying a word 'best' every time a new build appears, but this time I just must say it.

What do I have:

- green lens defy

- 16 GB sandisk class 10 microsd (didn't have problems with media ever)

- battery lasts about 70 hours (average 5 or 6 bars reported by chart in battery monitor widget)

A few tweaks that I always do:

- CPU overclocked to 1 GHz

- of course clear cache/dalvik before and after installing zips

- installing minimal gapps,

- swiping out previously used applications,

- using default on demand governor,

- as for now using apex launcher,

- performance/transparency 16 bit,

- memory management/purge assets

- charging battery until battery monitor widget (from market) shows 0 mA. 100% in the status bar doesn't trigger full charge in my opinion

- using only 2G

- turning off HWA for all except Chrome and UI. I've got about 200 MB RAM left.

What problems I had:

- a few first nightlies after initial Quarx releases in July: lags until installed apex over trebuchet

- 16/09 a few bootloops once, which ended up without my action and the device started normally (after that nobootloop at all)

- 24/09 after first innstall - one battery drop. After first charging to full no drop at all (the battery is over 1 year old)

New build notification

Hi guys,

I aleady asked this question but I haven't the answer yet....

I really really want to know if you know a way to be automatically notified of a new build on Quarx's server/mirror ? DEFY ROM UPDATER doesn't check automatically for new builds. It's quite time wasting to go once or several times a day on his servers to know if there is a new one....

HELP please.

THX
[Defy Android Development] davo.arto:
several times a day??

once a week would be enough
[Defy Android Development] ronpub:
I just noticed that quarx publication follow more or less Official CyanogenMod for Defy:

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=jordan

But you are not more advanced as there is no rss feed or something like that.

Else you can do a http://www.changedetection.com/ for http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-nightly-defy+/ or another site depending on your device.
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
Yes I know but I'm a little bit psychopath... :eek:

At the beginning there was almost a build per day, now it's every 8 or 10 days.... I know I know...

That's why I want a solution to heal me.... :D

I am the only one around here who's the GPS is not working properly? I mean, taking long time to fix, and when it fixes, sometimes it looses your locations, and sometimes too, it's a bit "undecided" about where you are?
[Defy Android Development] slimshady76:
Try FasterFix from the Market. Choose "Custom" and use the NTP server for your country (for instance, for Argentina it would be "ar.pool.ntp.org").
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
I've seen quite a few GPS problems notified. My GPS never got proper lock since the last time I was on a GB ROM (it worked flawlessly on official MIUI, for instance). Now it takes over 10 minutes to lock on wide open space, even with the common fixes, and it won't lock again if you try it a few kilometers away from the last lock without reseting gps data with GPS Status app
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
I don't know the workaround but that seems to be not proper A-GPS data.

I have the same situation as described when mobile data is turned off, when I turn it on I got a fix in a few seconds.

So hope to see A-GPS data preloading as it was in maniac's CM7 builds in our CM10 some day

2.> it rings onces or twice after picking up a call. happens always.

3.> Phone slows down like hell sometimes and then it starts working on after few minutes

4.> contacts and msgs app has lag, I have to wait few seconds before I can do anything on them

5.> Battery life is poor. I have to charge twice a day with normal usage. Not playing games these days. only data stays on

[Defy Android Development] vvoytex:
Happy to report that none of issues above concern my red eye baby. Apps, video rec, gallery, GPS included all works fluent on latest build.

My conclusion is I doubt that all those problems are caused of rom bugs (otherwise all of us would had the same issues with no exception I guess). I would rather go for wrong phone settings like wrong kernel, overclocked or mess in apps cache. I suggest to change back settings for default and check again if problems still exist. Who is with me?

Thumbs up Quarx for your great job.

I use smartass and feel no lag, I think sometimes memory gets a little clogged though and THEN I feel lags. Disable HWA in anything you don't need it for, and wipe the cache and dalvik. Works for me everytime, I'm oc'd to

700mhz@38

300mhz@17

However I still get great smoothness from stock values, just my CPU needs the juice for 3D gaming, I also get great battery life with these values as long as I use only 2g networks when I'm not actively browsing ;)

my success story

Defy red lens, ran stock for about a year, decided to root when it got laggy/buggy.

CM7.1 was nice, a couple months ago decided to try 7.2 and accidentally upgraded the bootloader too high, must read everything. After a few weeks stuck with some strange greek rom I saw this thread and DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted and have been DELIGHTED. Each update has been better. I held off a bit on the latest,but sprung for it last night. Faster, and wifi connects in seconds now. There's probably something wrong, like it takes a few seconds to open the camera, but wow is this nice. My battery is flakey but I think its just old. If I run into anything bad that I cant figure out I'll ping, but for now I have the phone I want.

"Recording failed" on 720x480, and on 1280x720 it records, but the video does not play...
[Defy Android Development] Gafanhotz:
I'll check it out. Thanks.

Update: Worked perfectly!

Guys, try using this to fix the GPS problem! Install the FasterFix, then choose the "custom" option.

Then go into this site: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@

Search for your continent on the list, and then, your country and use the servers related to it in the program.

For an example: For me the country is Brazil, then after searching for it, and getting the server list, I have that list:

server 0.br.pool.ntp.org

server 1.br.pool.ntp.org

server 2.br.pool.ntp.org

server 3.br.pool.ntp.org

Then, just select from the abbreviation from your country to the end of the link, like: br.pool.ntp.org

Put it on the text box from the custom option, and voila, GPS working perfectly when you're using the A-GPS (remember to turn DATA ON!) to support it.

Would be awesome if the Defy Parts (Advanced Options in the config menu) had an option to set this, like the baseband option. Or, an auto selectable configuration, based on the country that you selected for your baseband.

(What about opening an topic, just for this "little" tutorial and putting on it an list from all servers to avoid flood here and to easy the way to users find the fix?)

Lag dilemma

Hello everyone,

All those of you, who are not experiencing any lags, are you using some memory optimizer, like set min free value or some app killer?

With the latest build (24/9) I was experiencing major problem with apex/holo HD launcher. They would restart(only launcher) after running a heavy application like greader, pocket, etc (not considering games). Sometimes, even an update-in-progress would be killed, though interestingly, tasker remains unharmed. So, i thought may be i should lower the minfree value to default (as given by rom tool box). But default setting brought phone to its knees!

How are you guys handling this problem?

Does the developer know about the problem with GPS? I have used two different nav apps (igo and WAZE) and if an SMS or a voice call was received during a navigation, GPS looses the signal (it shows it searches for the signal), and only a phone reset helps if prior to it GPS receiver was switched off. I loaded the latest build, but it also was observed in earlier versions of quarx CM10. Is it going to be fixed?

Hello,

Just for info if someone wanna try,

I have Motorola defy MB525 with Green lens

i was using CyanogenMod 7.1 from past 6 months,

Never tried my luck with CM9

Today i Flashed CM10 [CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525] over CM7.1 and i succeeded,

the ROM is working great.

Here is what i followed,

Made Backups of Contacts, messages, calenders etc,

booted into CWM recovery

made Nandroid of CM7.1

Wiped Data, cache, dalvik

flashed Froyo Kernel, then CM10, then gapps minimal,

then again Wiped data, cache, dalvik [not sure it was so necessary or not but i did it]

then booted into android 4.1.1 :)

Thanks Developers.

I will report if i find something wrong.
