UPDATED experience and problem list with CM10 05/12

Quarx's CM10 05/12 is the most stable and compatible version of JB I have used so far, I greatly appreciate the development work that has gone into it.

It is not without problems however, and I try to summarize them in a post after every major version I install.

Installation notes

05/12 was installed with a data backup, full wipe to ext4 (system, data, cache), data restore.

KSM is enabled, zRAM disabled.

I have re-checked all issues below with 05/12 and updated the list.

Battery consumption

- 02/11 and 09/11 needed the MS2Ginger battd files, but even with those it wasn't always good.

- 18/11 battery still not okay: after first recharge 1-2% per hour which is very good (wi-fi on, screen off), but since then it's getting worse with every recharge, now 4-5% per hour, some basebands are better than others

- 05/12 battery is not okay, consumption is high with all basebands, "Android system" is shown as highest offender

Phone

- Red hangup button does not work every time, sometimes need to be pressed twice to hang up (maybe dependent on baseband, not sure)

Lags

- app switching still becomes slow and laggy after a day or two, launcher also lags a bit IMPROVED

- Swiftkey service seems to be running, but also kinda slow to appear every time IMPROVED

- phone/dialer app still doesn't get cached, almost always slow to start up

Wi-Fi

- New/open network notification is turned on, but never notifies

App problems

- lgCamera Pro: video recording is unstable, 720p resolution does not work, audio stops after 10-30 seconds (depending on sample rate)

- Viber proximity sensor still does not work (it did work on GB roms since Viber 2.2.1)

- Chrome screen draw is still laggy, but more usable than before

- Browser force closes a lot with big web pages (try loading http://index.hu/?teljes and zoom around, press back, etc.)

- CM10 file manager is unable to go to root access mode (greyed out in settings)

- CM10 file manager is not showing the disk usage on any volume

Hi, i have installed some times before cm10 201221018-nightly-mb526 on my defy

Since then i had some issues but when i go into recovery i see no option to install a new rom from SD or similar.

So i am stuck with that ROM.

even the built in rom updater software downloads newest rom version but when i click install just wipes everything and reboots and nothing else happens. no update no nothing.

Can you please shed some lights on this?

thanks very much

Is it possible to format /system in ext4 as well and then install the rom in the ext4 formatted partition?

I have data and cache only formatted in ext4..didn't know i could install quarx rom in /system in ext4 also!
[Defy Android Development] pjgowtham:
To check whether u ve formatted n ext 4 , u take a nandroid backup, then go to clockwork, the respective backup usin file explorer and check whether data partition is named ext3/ext4
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
No, because stock kernel doesn't support ext4 and you will not able to start bootmenu.

but my phone lags like any thing.

it shows an available memory of 120-140 MB but takes ages just to show me the dialer..

when i am playing some music on it and if i touch any thing on the screen or navigate on the screen the music pauses...i tried clean installation and every thing but can't make my defy work a bit more faster..!

any help would be much appreciated.

11-17 rocks

I tried ALL nightlies extensively... the only one that ROCKS is 11-17. Try it! you'll never change.

Only thing I miss is the ability to kill ALL tasks at one time (this feature isn't present in 11-17 :( )
[Defy Android Development] defim:
"Rocks" without upnp fix?! :laugh:
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
I can't test it itself, not works in my country. Any other similiar software?
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
IMHO...

In fact I could live without unpn but not without the usability of 11-17.

11-17 build rocks 'cause my phone acts like a real native jelly bean smartphone. I can really use that. I can open (and leave open) tons of apps still having a lot of free RAM and no problems in ringtone or red call-button... ROM stays clean and fast also after many days of havy usage (with 12-5 I had to reboot once a day or once half a day).

I think if 12-5 would be totally compiled without linaro would be perfect.

From my personal experience, those problems began after linaro introduction. :eek:
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
I agree. The 11/17 build runs great, mostly. Besides, HomeDia gets the DLNA work done. The problem I get with all builds, from 11/18 onwards, is this logcat entry: "E/MediaProvider( 9674): Can't obtain external volume ID even though it's mounted.", which causes process media to be killed all the time, making the user experience a hell. Probably some issues whilst handling my NTFS formatted 64GB card. I already posted thiis, but, as usual, got ignored...
[Defy Android Development] Sleepy!:
I find 18.11 to be the fastest...

If linaro was the big issue, then 28.11 would be the best build.

Maybe some some other commit introduced from 18.11 to 5.12 was the culprit....

Using JellyX with Interactive governor on 5.12, and its faster than plain 5.12 IMO...

Maybe Quarx can include some of those optimisations in his mainline kernel...

I also keep having those problems with the phone app that I detailed a few posts back...

I have a Defy+ BL7. I was on fuzz C.M 7.2 and then flashed J.B latest build. SInce many applications that I downloaded from market ate not working, I want to go back to C.M 7.2. I flashed my 7.2 nand back up. But I am not getting past the skanky boot logo. Is it because a new kernel was flashed along with J.B? If so what kernel to flash to get back my 7.2 nand to boot??? Pls give me a link to the correct kernel....:confused:

Quarx repo + Linaro 12.11

Anyone interested in trying out another Linaro build? I've built a ROM based on Quarx's repo (as of last night) but using the latest version of the Linaro toolchain. I am running it on my MB525 right now, seems as smooth as 18-Nov to me, if you're interested give it a try. If you're not interested, or you think Linaro is nothing more than a 'placebo', just move along and ignore this post, it isn't worth arguing about.

Would be interesting to know if Opera still crashes, etc.

http://goo.gl/vbAKN
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
By linaro are you refining to the whole rom being built with the latest toolchain or just the kernel???

If it's the whole rom could you plz share the procedure you did to get it to compile because last time I tried linaro broke so many things in the compile process.

Thanks....
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Everything. Yes, a few things blew up, but there are some tips on the Linaro blog about fixing certain compile errors. I will provide everything, just haven't pushed to github yet, really only a few changes, Quarx already has a script that does most of the work.

Probably will post the changes tomorrow, got two kids crawling on me and I'm headed to dinner. :)

I've branched the main repo from Quarx, check "skelliam" at github.

Opera Mini 7.5.1 behaves badly with the latest builds.

Stay on 7.5.0... the .1 update is not much of an improvement....

This Opera bug was what started the whole Linaro debate....

But even on non Linaro build 7.5.1 didn't work for me... :(
[Defy Android Development] Pacquix:
I'm still running great with 18.11, I've also patched with superchargerV6 optimizations (without 3g&miscellaneous which drain a lot, but with lag nullifier on that reduces a lot of lag) and I always use Green Power Free in order to keep wifi on without draining (network management off). I'd be glad to go on betatesting new versions but sice I don't have any problems related to linaro I'm gonna keep this one since a better one comes out :P

By the way, with the V6 OOM settings, the dialer loads immediately

Reverting to the 17/11 build

Hi,

After reading all the latest discussion regarding the most stable nightly so far, I think I want to try and install the 17/11 build on my wife's phone.

It is currently running the 28/11 build and it is generally OK except the ringtones bug and some faster than usual battery drain.

What are the steps I need to do in order to downgrade... Does it require a full wipe?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Sleepy!:
Mini 7.5.3 is not out yet.

No. Not "required".

But doing a full wipe is optimal.

Is it worth moving Linaro discussions to another thread? I don't want confusion between the Linaro build and Quarx's build without Linaro. If this turns out to be somewhat stable maybe Quarx will go back to Linaro gcc.

For Kayant/others, I've updated the OP on the other thread with the specifics if you want to build with Linaro yourself. Thanks Kayant for your other post on setting up the build environment, it was what I used to get my build environment going.

Thanks Quarx for your continued support of our now > 2 year old Defy, it is awesome for all of us to have JB.

And thanks to Linaro.org and partner companies for optimizing the toolchain for ARM arch. And of course thanks to the CM guys! :)

As i mentioned before, THERE IS NO CHOOSE INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD option on the recovery!!! and i am stuck over there!

Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
You *are* running custom recovery I assume...?

In recovery, go to Advanced, start adb, connect phone to a PC and get a shell through adb. Once you have a shell, run the mount command to see whether the sdcard is mounted. If it isn't, mount it. It you can not mount it, correct the errors on the card which keep the phone from mounting it.

You can always manually install either a new ROM (or parts of it, eg. recovery...) through adb. Before you go that way I'd make really sure that you actually are running the correct recovery, and that the sdcard is mounted.

Battery

Hi, i'm using the last built (05/12) and i think its great, I have no problems at all...even the battery is just fine, no drain.

but....when I use the phone as a GPS in the car, charging from the 12V I have more consume than "arrive" of energy..

and the charger is ok because if I turn the GPS off the phone charges until the end.

Does anybody notice that?

I using the last built as it was uploaded by qarx . If there is a new update that correct that I will be glad to know!

thanks
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
I've had this kind of issue since the beginning of the times, mostly with WiFi tethering, GPS/WiFi combined usage, or anything else which uses a lot of battery. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it happens.It seems to be a hardware fault, either on the phone's connector or on the cable providing the energy, one of them (or even both, I had to replace the connector AND get a new cable last month) is probably faulty and not delivering the whole energy the phone needs to run (under normal circumstances, the maximum energy the phone was supposed to require was exactly the amount provided by the charger, thus meaning the phone won't charge when plugged - but it should NOT discharge!) battery-intensive (CPU-stressing or many types of radio turned on at the same time) tasks. If the fault is in the cable, all you can do is get a new one. If it's in the phone, check your warranty. If your phone is under warranty, try to replicate the issue using your stock ROM, and, if you succeed, take it to an authorized service center. It probably will happen with any ROM, the issue will probably be a faulty connector. If it's not under warranty, I can't help much.

Hi, i have Defy MB525 and have flashed to CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip assuming that is the latest one?

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

That sounds like standard (Motorola) recovery to me, not custom (CWM). Normally you'd start custom recovery through the touch boot menu -> Recovery -> Custom recovery. To get into the boot menu, reboot the phone, wait for the blue led to come on and press the Volume Down button.

It shows download 191, but it passed through every integer from 1-190 before. I don't see a single file being downloaded in my phone, though.
