Why BL5?

Just wondering why to stay on BL5. I know it makes it easier to use other ROMs. I did the rooted BL7 then installed on top of that and have had no loops at all. Battery life is horrible but Im 99% sure its my battery (original defy red and it was failing bad which prompted me to try this rom/move off of 7.1.) I have ordered a replacement. Are there other kernels that are really lots faster than this? I find this ROM pretty great, occasional hangups with a few apps but it IS a nightly, and I love it matching my N7. In fact I wish I had the choice to have the more complex pattern for login on the N7.

Best of luck in either case!

Quarx is online and quarx2k.ru too... :) Maybe some news?

If there are not any news, can we try test_2ndboot.zip by flashing it like a normal zip?
[Defy Android Development] miziel:
Somebody have tested that custom kernel? It have structure like a normal zip for recovery :) I want to try but im afraid xD
[Defy Android Development] zaiko2000:
I'm using the 2409 version and I must say it is the best version until now ! Great work quarx :good: !!
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
yes u can flash it(on ur own risk)

keep nandroid ready

Flash it and set default boot mode to 2nd-boot(2nd-init will not work)

U will experience lag at boot,turn ur wifi off and keep screen off for 15~20 sec

Make sure u replace 2nd-boot.ko from Quarx2k.ru in the zips /system/bootmenu/2ndboot folder b4 flashing

Just workaround for bootloops with 24/09

I'm just curious :laugh: as only when u encounter troubles u have a chance to learn, and I don't want to loose this chance by changing BL

Edited: ok, was too eager :laugh: and changed BL to 6, now at last on 24th build

For all those having bootloops when on BL5 - changing to BL6 works, though still wondering why BL5 caused bootloops with this exact build only

Is it stable?

i use now 4.0.1 motogun and working very well with out any bugs.

so is it worth wasting time for update?
[Defy Android Development] walkunder:
Surprising to see Quark working on a custome kernel.

I thought only when the bootloader is unlocked, we can use a non-moto kernel?

On the other hand, I'm just quietly waiting for the development, since I do nothing but enjoy Quarks' great work.

How do we do that? Flash an SBF and do clean install? I take it, if so, to use the CEE SBF, correct?
[Defy Android Development] Gafanhotz:
Reading the thread I found it:

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Boots very sloooowly

GPS does not seem to work yet

Hope Quarx manage to fix it. I don't care about the long time to boot (but still annoying), but the GPS is something required by 90% of CM10 users.

And I hope too, he manages to make our Defy able to have USB On-the-Go, so we can connect flash drivers to it, with an OTG Cable! :D
[Defy Android Development] ennarr:
You are reading Milestone2 Thread.

GPS is working on Quarx Kernel, and it boots fast, the only known issues are that 1. after booting, it's too laggy, have to wait a minute or two, and it'll be usable 2. White led don't light while charging, 3. file explorers cant acces to memory card (walter posted a fix here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1909242, just replace Ramdisk file, and set permissions).

Some people are experiencing bootloops too, but quarx posted a fix. si in the thread above.

People with mb 525 builds will have no working backlight buttons, and proximity sensor, but it can be fixed by flashing MB526 build.
[Defy Android Development] Gafanhotz:
gee, thanks! But I think that the White Led bug is now fixed:

d8ffac8 Add white USB led

One bug left: The lots of lags after boot during 2 minutes. But well, someday, he'll found a way to fix this. (Maybe making an pre-cache during boot? I thought the swap could fix this.)
[Defy Android Development] naleyb01:
The rom is excellent and very stable, there have been some reported issues with the latest release BUT the 12/09/2012 quarx rom is running extremely well - I almost get 2 full days of battery and I would classify myself as a moderate user.

Also it's very stable and very smooth.

The only small issue is that video recording is good, but not perfect.

I can assure you it will be worth your troubles :)

Anyone facing battery drops with defy rom? Its dropping around 15 to 25%, is there any solution for this??

Mine is defy red lens using defy rom.
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
Exactly.

After first boot the phone could stuck at logo, then we shall remove battery, start it again going into stock recovery (vol -, then vol -&+ simultaneously, do a factory reset, wipe cache and reboot).

If u don't want BL7 rooting problems then be sure to flash BL6 sbf

Really thinking to go back of some builds, and i am wondering which one i could install to avoid trying many of them, as recent roms are getting slower unfortunately, at least here :( (and in latest one proximity sensor is bugged, and that's a rom problem I'm pretty sure because before worked fine, and yesterday i installed codename android 3.6.0 by kayant and it is working again!)

Quarx and other devs are making miracles by making custom kernels to motorola LOCKED phones... and people are complaining about CRT Anim...

GOOOOOOOOOOD please, i don't want to live in this world anymore :(
[Defy Android Development] EdwardN:
I don't think it was a complaint, exactly, it was a request for assistance. Complaining about it doesn't help the thread any.

If you search for center clock mod, I think it somehow enabled the crt close animation. Do a search in the thread, you should find the answers you're looking for.

I noticed the search forum function is disabled currently, but there's a google workaround. Search google for: xdaforums.com: defy JB crt animation

The : after the website directs google to only search that site for results. ;)
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
Not center clock mod, but circle battery mod. It enables also crt animation. Or at least it did the trick in a previous build..
[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
for the people who wants the center clock mod, this is a ZduneX theme, that has center clock and other cool stuffs, for me is working perfectly the #2 version, i tried the #4 but gave me SystemUI errors, i don't know if is fixed on #5.

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime in my Defy+. It's anything very fast here, but after a time phone gets very laggy and I have to reboot it. After reboot anything goes back to normal.

I'm thinking of using a task manager (or task killer). I tried to free up ROM memory by converting some system apps to user apps, but they go back to system app status. If I uninstall some app through ROM Manager they are really uninstalled, but conversion does isnt working.

Note: I am using sep 24 build, others builds didnt have such problem.

[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Hook the thing up to a PC through USB and connect to it through adb. Run the 'top' command when it is laggy, and see what is hogging the CPU. Something like this:

$ adb shell
~ # top -n 1|head

User 0%, System 1%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 2 + Nice 0 + Sys 5 + Idle 299 + IOW 0 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 306

PID PR CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
10443 0 1% R 1 976K 476K root top
219 0 0% S 1 0K 0K root omap2_mcspi
3 0 0% S 1 0K 0K root ksoftirqd/0
[1]+ Stopped (signal) top -n 1 | head

Nothing is hogging mine, now. Before it ended up being the media scanner which got hung up about some file it did not like, pegging the cpu and devouring the battery. Clearing that services' cache and data solved the problem in my case. This was on a much earlier release btw, and it is a known Android problem (ie. it can happen on any version, custom or stock, from any manufacturer).

I hate when everywhere start talking of a new version of Android, i'm affraid I will have to change my amazing defy because it run out of updates :( I hope that day will come much later in the future :)

In order to the post not be so off topic, after trying a lot of patches and modded apks, i think i finally find the way to change the dpi and fix the market compatibility issue.. if anyone is interested, i can add a tutorial on the faq, let me know.

by the way, this is how cm10 looks with changed dpi. All the apps looks great, there are no glitches like when you changed the dpi back on cm7..
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
See also my screenshots for more changed dpi ideas. I have it set to 160 dpi. There are some potential problems (eg. overlapping search bar in the dialer, etc) but I can live with that.
[Defy Android Development] javonera:
I'm interested in the tutorial :)
[Defy Android Development] cdlq456:
I think 200 dpi is the best option, but it depends on each one's opinion. Also, I've been using modded dpi for aprox 2 months on cm10 and I never found any glitch (my dialer works excellent, for example). The only big problem was the play store annoying bug of compatibility, but i think i found the right zip which solves this.

The only disturb my nerve in this rom is it's slowly become laggy as you use it and at time it almost like hang there waiting for its turn to show up. Tried different cpu freg & vsel in bootmenu but none really help. Camera and video cam barely functional even with lgcamera. No wifi tether which I depend on all the time sharing my data line with my other tablets. 3rd party wifi tether app don't work either. No voice rec libs by default thus my total-record app can only work with it's alternative old man dictaphone concept.

Unlike my gingerbread 2.3.6 custom rom, it's blazzing insanely fast and like almost no waiting time even during heavy usage. And above all it's everything working perfectly.

However, I salute Quark and this rom is still in its infancy. So, there a lot goodness coming to make this JB 4.1.1 the people choice even Motorola technicians wouldn't want to miss it..!

SmartAss? Am I overlooking something? In the phone settings I've had it set to boosted (no clue why). The rest governors are ondemand, userspace and performance.

I also use ROM Toolbox and I noticed that I had the max CPU speed set to 600Mhz (...haha, might that be the problem?) and the CPU gevernor set to ondemand in it. Can these two settings confuse the phone anyhow? What is the best settings in here, please? To be honest, I have no clue what any of those settings mean :D I always set it to ondemand and never care abouit it....wrong?

Oh, I'd love to have the dpi changed to 200 without the google play issues. . I'll keep waiting...thank you.

No impact on performance at all. The "play store" (which still sounds silly to me, "market" was better) can be a nuisance because it insists some apps are not compatible with your phone (even though they are) but there are patched versions which don't have this problem.

I used to make a custom rom for a cheap chinese tablet.

I remember experiencing that if I deleted a file from system partition it would disappear and df would report the freed space. But I was unable to reuse the reclaimed space for anything, receiving same error as you.

I do not think it is supposed to be like that though.

so, have you added and deleted many files on /system?

Another possibility is that the filesystem is not out of space but out of inodes. But I do not know the inner workings of the filesystem type on system partition.

If you are talking about the terminal emulator inside the app drawer of your phone, "adb shell" won't do anything.

Make sure usb debugging is enabled on the phone, connect the phone to your pc, then try "adb devices" .
