You're welcome. My post was easy to misunderstand: When I said "I tried to reproduce this", I meant "I tried to reproduce the issue" - without success, so I did not suffer from it. So your problem was not my problem. :) Good that it now works for you.

Settings -> Lock Screen -> Screen Security -> scroll down -> there it is (2012-09-04 here, works fine as daily phone)

Is superuser working properly for everybody on Quarks 2012/09/04 for Defy+? (I have a red lens defy)

I try to update it and it fails, and I think it is not granting superuser permissions when it says so (I doesn't let me change permissions with Root Explorer on some system files).

Thanks.

ps: it is crap that I have to wait five minutes to edit my own post, I am not adding more posts to the thread so this shouldn't be treated as possible spam...

[Defy General] Scotty83:
I face lots of lag when my defy is connected to a charger(Power and PC both) any idea why?

Defy Red lens with latest Quarx build for Defy+

Thanks in advance
[Defy General] Defyner:
The available options change with the selected lock variant.

Looks like you have set "Slide" as the "Screen lock".

With that, the option "Show widgets before unlock" is not available, because the "widgets" ring *is* the selected lock variant.

I normally use "pattern", which offers the option that I described. "PIN" does, too.
[Defy General] kirukan:
I believe its nothing to do with the rom.im experiencing it from the day 1 of my defy irrespective of the ROM.
[Defy General] dydbg:
I have a question. Yesterday I installed the latest nightly of CM10. The first app I installed after that was Titanium Backup. When I started it it showed me this.

System ROM only 8.2MB free space.

Do I have to worry and can I do anything to increase the space?

Can it cause problems in the future?

Before with CM9 I had at least 80-100MB free.
[Defy General] corrinti:
No, nothing to worry about. I've got 68 free, as removed some system apps like trebuchet (using nova launcher) or mail (using K-9). It most probably means only that u don't have space to move non-system apps to system apps

Though I'm not 100% sure above mentioned apps are stored in ROM and not internal memory :p

Voice search crashing

I flashed my BL7 DFP231 Defy+ with the 04.09 nightly and installed full gapps on it.

Now whenever I try to use voice search on it, it crashes with a message that the service has unfortunately stopped :(

Tried rebooting/wiping cache/dalvik/clean install, everything
[Defy General] InsaneMetal:
Guys I need some help. I'm using a version from August, don't remember exactly which one, but my cellphone has gotten really slow and 400+MB of RAM is always in use, lots of stuttering etc.

So I thought of reinstalling it... what are the steps? Because this was the first time I flashed a custom rom... so I'm still not very confident about it... I read the FAQ thread but I really don't know where to start... it's a reinstall.. what should I do?

Help please!
[Defy General] corrinti:
Edit (solution): install minimal gapps (just over your current install) and wipe dalvik cache. Then go to Google Play and install Google Search. Worked for me fine.

1. 400 + MB in use doesn't mean sg goes wrong.

2. OP of this thread is quite clear. The easiest way is to:

- reboot to CWM,

- flash last nightly (the same built u use now, I mean MB525 or MB526 built),

- wipe dalvik cache (in Advanced)

- wipe cache

- reboot

Which defy u have and which version of built u use?

[Defy General] corrinti:
U have all answers given in the first post of this thread, step by step, kernel for red lense, sequence of all steps etc.

I'd propose last CM10 (4/09 by Quarx)

Also as some people report problem with google search, install minimal gapps and then google search from GooglePlay

CM10 not allowing answering calls

HI,

Using Defy MB525

Latest CM10 Nightly from Quarx

Froyo Kernel

The phone rings on incoming call but then freezes- not accepting slide to answer. Then gives "Activity Phone isn't working" error.

I noticed Baseband was set to Central Europe so installed the Defy Baseband Switcher (thankyou dear devs), wiped caches, fixed permissions, rebooted.and switched to correct one for my region. Didn't fix the problem.

Cheers.
[Defy General] fattest:
This worked for me. Thanks!
[Defy General] corrinti:
Most probably (as helped many others): go to HWA Settings and uncheck phone

U may also uncheck many other apps which do not need hardware acceleration. Just leave checked system, UI, launchers, web browsers, games, photo and video apps, contacts, maps
[Defy General] dm4n:
Thanks! Tried disabling HWA as advised -> no change, then disabled all HWA -> no change.

Then recognised it may be an issue with the nightly- as it was also reported on another forum.

So reinstalled previous nightly and phone works again.

Cheers All.

Q.defy red lens can install rom for both defy+ and defy with their respective kernels ?
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Just tried installing. It might be working, but its not looking to good

So far, I did, in this order

- Reboot into recovery

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Install the kernel

- Install CM10

- Wipe cache

then, it changed the look of the recovery. it switched of to twrp i believe. Oh well, nothing I couldent figure out how to navigate. I decided to reboot, but then it booted me back into recovery, so I figured it must have been something to do with boot settings. I went to choose boot and as soon as I clicked it, screen went black and my keys lit up. its still like that, and its probably been about 4 minutes since. im being patient, and ill wait probably at most 20min.

Is this normal? Did I go wrong somewhere?

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Pulled battery. Booted up normally (so far). showed the blue indicator for recovery. Now its showing the CM logo and its spinning. All good signs. I guess maybe just an error when choosing boot sequence or something. everything seems fine. just started! JB here i am!

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Ok. now my battery shows that its drained and has an exclimation point. Should I just reflash the battery fix or do I have to calibrate it somehow? also, is there a basband switcher? I have no signal and only edge.
[Defy General] corrinti:
No - it depends on what kernel u already have on your system. If u had any official GB installed then u shouldn't try froyo kernel with MB525 build. But if official was froyo then u have a choice.

But if u are not sure then go the better way: install GB Kernel and MB 526 build (don't forget battery fix) - this is what I use

And you forgot do make one important wipe - dalvik cache. Usually it can finish in bootloop.

What is your defy and what system u had before? What about gapps? Did u flash them???

And baseband switcher u can find in settings > advanced
[Defy General] Sutitan:
True, I still havent dont it yet. I was confused between the bootmenu and recovery. I had never seen that screen before (the bootmenu).

I was running a modded MIUI, with a frouo kernel.

I also just flashed gapps, including google now. its working great.

Also, I installed the defy baseband switcher as I was impatient. but now I know for the future.

Ive set up a decent portion of my phone (backed up apps, contacts, resynched my entire phone). Everything is working fine. Should i still go back and wipe the dalvik cache?

Thank you for your reply
[Defy General] corrinti:
If everything is working ok, that just do it with next nightly (just only flash new zip and wipe dalvik - that's what I do). You can do it from defy ROM updater too - it will reboot automatically.

My proposal: go to HWA settings and uncheck phone, also u can uncheck all beside system, UI, launcher, web browsers, games, photo and video apps. It will make more RAM available and remove some bugs.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Already did the phone HWA uncheck since i was reading through the last couple pages of the JB thread before the install. Ill go through and uncheck the rest though. Are there any other flaws that stick out? Granted, I havent messed around to much with it, but everything has been working pretty flawlessly. Maybe a tad bit slow at times, but definitely livable with.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
For some reason the camera stopped taking pictures. I can go into the camera app, but the camera button is working. I can change the settings, and scroll left to view my last pictures. but I cant click the take a picture button, or the little gallery button. It doesnt work in video or panoramic mode either.

any advice?
[Defy General] InsaneMetal:
Thanks mate, I ended up doing that before you answered, but thanks anyway :P

Now I'm using CM10 04/09... it's running really nicely now.
[Defy General] bvanaerde:
Just FYI, using the Defy ROM Updater for updating to the 20120904 nightly did not work, as it gave a certificate error.

It does work though when performing the update manually.

Change of kernel

Hi,

I have a Defy with red lens with CM10.

I recently discovered that I have the Froyo kernel, so I was forced to put the version for the Defy.:crying:

Now I want to put the GB kernel and the version for the Defy +.

I want to know what is the correct procedure and if in case I change the kernel I wanted to know if I lose everything.

Thank you in advance of the answer.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Themes can be changed from settings and there are a lot of themes in GooglePlay (search for CM10 and CM9 themes) and u can find a lot links in this forum under Defy Themes & Applications.

About crashes: have u unticked phone apk from a HWA settings?
[Defy General] latadswapnil:
yes , i have already unticked it ...

THEME :- i want RAZR mxx ICS theme same as having razr maxx stock, icons,status bar , dialler all things same as razr :D
[Defy General] corrinti:
and rebooted ;)?

1st u was not forced, it was your choice :D

But there good news comes :cowboy:

- just flash gb kernel and MB526 build and battery fix - all links in the first post

- next wipe dalvik and wipe cache

- and here u r,

BTW yet important and first, first, first

what do u mean loosing everything?

U shall always backup what u think is important, just in case u'll damage your system, what can happen anytime.

Example: sms messages with sms backup&restore from google play

apps with google account

apps data (or apps and apps data) with Titanium Backup

contacts with google account

just always for any case that can and will happen, especially when u r not ready

Just another question :angel: i don't understand the procedure to flash GB Kernel.

You can explain it?
[Defy General] corrinti:
Go to the first post of this thread and download GB kernel (and quarx nightly, 4/09, and new red lens battery fix

To flash it go to CWM, choose flash zip files, and just flash all three one by one. That's all.

Don't forget about backup first :D
[Defy General] Mikilas:
Sorry for asking a silly question but even after reading a few tutorials I can't get out of it.

I'm currently runnig my Defy (red lense) on the froyo kernel (offical Motorola release).

I'm willing to try something 'new', I'm kind of sick of the slow/outdated version ;)

I have some questions:

1) If I flash this, can I go back to 'stock rom' in case that I need my warranty? I'm a EU-customer so I get 2 years of warranty and I don't want to waste my time remaining.

2) Is it smart to already flash this or is it better to wait until there is a more stable release? (or go for CM9?)

Thanks in advance!
[Defy General] gentle_giant:
Hi Mikilas,

yes, you can always go back to the original branded version by using a freely available software from Motorola called RSD lite.

read this thread on XDA.

all you need on info is there. I did it many times when I screwed up. Thats to good thing about Motorola and their locked bootloaders; it's almost idiot proof :o

I am very pleased with Quarx's Yelly Bean version and have no issues whatsoever. The phone is used daily. But I am not a heavy user. I have a Defy+ and the battery could last two days.

The thing is: before you have your head around all the different terms used like RSD lite, flashing, ROM & the different Defy versions you will have spent many hours...

hope this helped.

Hi!

"failed to verify whole-file signature"

"signature verification failed"

"Installation aborted"

[Defy General] kur41:
That message usually means that your download was corrupt, so I'd try to download it again. If the download is correct you can toggle signature verification in CWM (IIRC).

Thank you it works with new file.

Just another question, after the kernel flash i go in Info Phone but the Kernel Version is the old :( why?
[Defy General] Mikilas:
Okey thanks for the information, yet I don't seem to find out on what version I'm currently. I flashed an official rom (using the updater from motorola 'back in the day' from 2.1 to 2.2) What smg version is that or where can I find it?

Then if I only flash the CM10 and not the kernel, will it still update the number? Can't the topic starter put in what version it is so that I don't have to do the "long" (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11195138) workarond?
[Defy General] corrinti:
What do u mean old? U mean the same version as before or ... ?

Mine is 2.6.32.9-g21f1a48 (one of few which r ok for red lense)
[Defy General] oscarnastro:
Yes the same version before flash.
[Defy General] corrinti:

battery

i have a defy+ and after flashing cm10 from cm9 my phone doesn't see the battery.

on the guide you write that the battery fix is only for defy red lense.

i have to flash that file isn't it? or not?

thanks a lot in advance

Have you calibrated the battery ? If not, download this & follow the instructions.

[Defy General] pepcisko:
all that this app does is removing the battery stats, right? Why don't you do that in cwm recovery??
[Defy General] chtamina:
tank you major, but i don't think this will solve my problem.

the phone say to me that the battery is at 1%, but really it's over 70% (before flashing rom)

now the phone can't charge the battery (i'm trying with battery calibration,but still not charging)

i've made a little wrong,i think. first time i flashed the rom,the battery charged until 80%, and i flashed the battery fix for defy red lense (i've got a defy+)

and now i've tried to flash many times cmx, but the phone still not see the battery. on the battery indicator i see only a '!'

i hope someone will could help me

[Defy General] dagomez99:
Once you root your phone and install cwm, perform a nandroid backup, if you have problems, you can always go back, just don't forget to backup.

As to if it's smart to flash this, I'm currently on 09/12 nightly, and honestly, it waaay better than custom ROM, the only things buggy are Wi-Fi tethering, and keyboards (stock keyboard is always set as default on every boot), but put that aside and you have jelly bean!

So, for me, it's totally smart.
[Defy General] on&off:
Observations and Suggestions

Hardware: Motorola MB525 Jordan, Green Lense SOC

ROM: CM10 Nightly 2012.09.03 for MB525 by Quarx

Kernel: Signed Froyo 2.2.2-1.7.9-4

Proximity Sensor: Works, but differently

At first i thought the proximity sensor was not working

but after much re-iterations and trouble-shooting realised that

it was not working while the headset was plugged in.

This may not be be considered a flaw, considering that its most likely

that you wont put your phone to your face, if you have a headset connected.

Now, the way i use my phone, my headset is almost always connected.

And because the ROMs i have used in the past behaved differently

in regards to this, it took me some time and effort to figure it out.

I would prefer the proximity sensor to switch off the display,

even if the headset is connected. The reason being that,

its most likely that if someone has the headset plugged in

it's because either they want their hands free or they are in motion.

Which means the phone has to be either in the pocket or inside something

with the display being inaccessible / unusable.

I also noticed the the proximity sensor is only reporting two values:

100.0 cm and 0.0 cm. with nothing in between.

As i remember, it used to report values much more accurately

in ROMs i have used previously (not CM)

and as far as i understand, it has a sensing resolution of 1.0 cm.

This may all be by design and I do understand

that not having the Proximity Sensor always working

might be an energy-saving decision,

in which case it would be nice to have an option

to modify its behaviour, depending on personal usage scenarios.

Possible Bug: Setting for Disable HW overlay

The Setting in Settings>Developer Options: "Disable HW overlays"

does not stick (resets to unchecked) on reboot.

I would also like to know, what it exactly does

because the sub-heading "Always use GPU for screen compositing"

seems contradictory to the heading "Disable HW overlays". (I maybe wrong.)

Suggested Improvement: Volume rocker wake

When the option Settings>Display: "Volume rocker wake" is enabled

i would expect the first press of the Volume rocker to wake the device

and subsequent clicks to change the Volume Up or Down.

Currently the first press both Wakes And Changes the Volume.

These are a few things i did not find mentioned elsewhere

and i hope they are not out of place or unhelpful.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

from what i understand, you SHOULD NOT flash the "Battery Fix" if you have a Defy+

to clarify, the battery fix is required when you flash a Red Lense Defy

with the Rom that is meant for Defy+ (the MB526 builds)

the MB526 builds are meant for the Defy+ batteries (capacity: 1700 mAh)

and therefore certain parameters need to be fixed

when using it on the Red Lense Defy (battery capacity: 1540 mAh)
[Defy General] pepcisko:
it happens that I have the stock GB installed right now..

proximity sensor reports only 2 values... 3 or 100. Nothing else.
