Yep, had the same situation. Could not get past 12/09 on BL5 green lens Defy.

Solved by flashing a BL6 stock Froyo SBF and going from there.

I used the JDGC U6_2.13.0 SBF... but only use this as a stepping-stone to CM10.

Don't use this ROM, especially camera or you may stuff your camera or flashlight.

Just flash, root, CWM, then go CM10.

Wipe Data

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Flash 20121018 build

Booted in 2 min. No lag at all during startup. Seems like a great build so far.
[Defy General] gkkovacs:
So it means I can flash the latest nightly from the /cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+) folder without flashing an older nightly and the V2 patch?

I am running MS2Ginger 4.0 with a GB kernel on a Bayer Defy.
[Defy General] Steveletack:
I came from Stock Froyo

Normal installation:

-Fullwhipe

-Installation

-Cache/DalvikCache Whipe

-Boot up

(I flashed the Gapps after the first boot, and then did both cache whipes again)

I really like this build its running very good right now(tweaked it with pimpmyrom)
[Defy General] darkkinder:
I will try install the new version (18.10) but I have one question (defy red lens here), if I want to go back to the gb kernel (for use with other rom) just install from custom recovery?
[Defy General] trurl3:
As the new ROM from Quarks has integrated Qkernel built on basis GB kernel you will have not any problems with return to different build with different kernel. Just to be sure before flashing make nandroid backup and do full data/cache wipe and dalvik wipe (it depends of your actual system - if it is another CM10 - it's enough to clear cache and dalvik. If it is different build - there is recommended full data wipe).
[Defy General] corrinti:
For network signal just go to settings>advanced (defy parts)> baseband selection and try to find proper baseband for your region.

But first just flash today's build (just flash with cache and dalvik wipe).

And check whether your clock problem is still on. If yes, go to app management>all>clock>stop and clear its data

Post-Installation problems

I'm currently trying to install 18.10 update for 4.1.2 on Red lense. And somehow it doesn't seem to work properly. I do complete Data Wipe then install the zip. Even then after booting up it lags pretty bad almost upto the point of freezing. Usually I don't have any problem doing this stuff but this time I don't have even a clue what going wrong. And I didn't have enough time to follow up the development thread thoroughly.

So can anyone of you please explain what's the problem. And if I'm missing something while installing then can you write any step by step guide about how does it work on your people's cell.

Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Can happen when we do not proceed with a clean install, i.e. starting from flashing parent sbf. I had this issue when flashed son's defy from 24/09 build, which worked smoothly, to the last one. When flashed again parent sbf, then last build (with gapps of course) all started to work as it should.

charging

Is this normal - when I power off the phone for recharging and plug the cable into the wall contact, the Moto logo appears, blue LED, red LED and it stays with blank screen. Yesterday I've had enabled the "Stay awake" function to see the charging progress. Even then I had to press the power button to wake the screen and see the battery filing green. In 24/09 I don't remember this boot-like process - only white LED and seeing the battery. I'm with the 18/10 build now, done factory reset, wiped caches.

p.s. now I see that it hasn't charged at all. Yesterday it chareged from 0 to 80%, I couldn't wait it to 100. After booting, the first 15% are charged really fast!?!

CM10 slower than CM7.2

Hi All,

Has anybody else noticed that with CM10 on Defy that the StabilityTest 2.5 gets around 20-24 CPU MFLOPS at 1GHz and with CM7.2 getting 32 CPU MFLOPS?

Is this needing to be fixed or is it just how JB performs?

2nd init build for Defy green lense?

Why are there no new nightlies in http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-nightly-defy/ since Sep 24th? Has Quarx stopped releasing these nightlies and is only releasing the 2ndboot nightlies in http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/ now? Can I flash these for my Defy (green lense) as well or are they only for Defy+?
[Defy General] casouzaj:
Yes, the 2ndboot nightlies fit all variants.
[Defy General] reaperhk:
Do you know what URL I should use for the Repository URL to allow auto check update? The build-in list is only for non-2nd boot one
[Defy General] casouzaj:
No, unfortunately, I couldn't find any repository for the 2nd-boot nighlies. So, you'll have to download them from quarx2k.ru. Download both CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip (the ROM plus kernel) and update_for_18.10.zip (update for the kernel part only). If you are coming from CM7 or CM9, it would be adviseable to wipe everything before flashing the ROM. Otherwise, just cache and dalvik cache would do. After flashing the ROM, you flash the updated kernel. No need to wipe anything here.
[Defy General] effooh:
Are the steps the same? Go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, install zip and wipe cache and dalvik again?
[Defy General] casouzaj:
Basically yes, if your are already coming from CM10. Otherwise, it would be good to wipe data too and flash a gapps package as well. Anyway, take a look at the OP in Quarx's CM10 development thread, here.
[Defy General] funtastic89:
CM10 slower than CM7.2?

Anybody???
[Defy General] aperture:
im still unable to change the button brightness.. :(
[Defy General] effooh:
Thanks, I had CM10 before so that worked. What though if I wanted to start totally fresh - how would I do that? In another thread someone said "Start fresh; use the ultimate wiper for defy and flash cm11/10, and them flash only update v2" - is that really all?
[Defy General] casouzaj:
You, most probably, have CWM installed, right? Then, reboot your phone, and, as soon as the blue light lights up, press the vol(-) button. Then, select 'Recovery' (from here onwards, you should use the volume keys to browse throgh the items, and the power button to select an item). Then, select 'Stable Recovery' (I think it would work the same with Custom Recovery too, but as I do it through stable...), and, in the next screen, 'Wipe data/factory reset'. Your data and apps will be wiped off. Then, select 'Install ZIP from SD card', then 'Choose...', and navigate to the folder where you have the 10/18 ROM zip file. Select the file and confirm the action by selecting 'Yes' in the next screen. After the process is finished, select 'Install ZIP...' and 'Choose...' and select the update to 10/18 zip file, 'Yes' again, and flash the update. I think that's all!
[Defy General] effooh:
Thanks a lot! I thought I had to jump though more hoops like re-root and put some old sbf on there, install 2nd init etc.
[Defy General] casouzaj:
Well, the ROM, running over a custom kernel, requires 2nd-boot in bootmenu, but the flashing process itself will automatically set that mode for you...
[Defy General] ez33:
In the dev-thread someone told a few days ago about working dlna using homedia or sth else...

anyone has managed to get this work yet? or its a general cm10-thing?
[Defy General] casouzaj:
Yes, I did it. My post in the dev thread is here. Hope it works for you too...
[Defy General] effooh:
Sorry I forgot - silly question: if I wipe data/factory reset wouldn't that delete the ROM zip file on the SD card as well?
[Defy General] ez33:
hm..for me it looks like it doesnt work. Neither with skifta, bubbleupnp nor with the homedia - method explained by you i am able to connect to my running dlna servers (ps3media/samsung-dlna). If i try and start running these apps, no server will be found, my wifi turns off and has to be switched on manual again. No problems with that at 2.3.7.

A full wipe wont touch your sdcard in any way. 100%. ;)
[Defy General] esok44:
yes its kinda silly question.

Wipe Data does NOT affect your SD-Card and whats on it. So the .zip file is gonna be ok :D

Have fun flashing ;)
[Defy General] effooh:
I feel like such a noob now (guess I am still) haha. Thank you. :good:
[Defy General] casouzaj:
Well, the only media servers HomeDia finds on my network are Plex and Nero, both running on my notebook. It sees my LG connected TV and my son's xbox 360 as a speaker/player devices, but they don't seem to play anything, even after having been selected. Media stored in my notebook plays only in my Defy's screen. If I enable media sharing on HomeDia, my TV does find it as a media server, but is unable to connect to it. So, it's obviously far from perfect, but it is a stat, because I never managed to run DLNA in JB before.
[Defy General] effooh:
Just got done flashing ROM, update and Pimp My Rom and left out a lot of apps I had before - should have done this ages ago, my Defy is so much faster and more responsive now! Yippie :good::victory: Thanks guys!

Hi, disable HWA to the apps that don't need it. Uninstall Advanced Task Killer (Does nothing else than eating battery and resources).

WiFi tethering problem

Hi

I'm running the 24-10 update on the 18-10 2ndBoot ROM.

Loving the smoothness and awesomeness of this ROM, but I have a slight problem.

I like to use WiFi tethering and it's not working :(

It was working on the 11-10 ROM, but it's broken again.

Any suggestions?

I've tried wiping davlik cache and the cache partition again, I've also run fix permissions from recovery.

Currently using bluetooth tether in a cafe.

[Defy General] henkaoh:
Since the last update (Oct 25) I lose my account settings on each reboot.

I also have worse battery life..., but that maybe is due to the higher vsels... during 9 hours of sleeping with wifi off, battery went from 95 to 65%.

defylerat, via tapatalk och quarxs cmx!
[Defy General] corrinti:
Seems like a fresh install required :p

Someone has also reported, few builds ago, the same problem with loosing an account settings during reboot, and afaIr he had to make a data wipe to cure the problem.

Also battery drain is not normal with default vsels (you can still lower them).

So my proposal is to make contacts, messages, apps and their data backup, wipe data/factory reset and start again. You can be suprised with clean install performance :cowboy:

Is there anyone willing to help be get the latest 2ndboot builds working on my phone?

I have a regular red lens Defy (mb525) and I'm on the September 12 MB526 build from Quarx.

Everytime I try updating to these newer 2ndboot builds, I see the Motorola logo, the blue LED turns on, then turns to red, and the screen is totally black.

I've pulled battery about 30 times to no avail. Have ended up going back into custom recovery and restoring a nandroid backup of the Sept 12 MB526 build.

I'd just really like to get onto something newer than the Sept 12 build.

Can anyone offer any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
[Defy General] sUpErwHoO:
Um, try with the latest build. 18/10 and apply v4 kernel update.

Process

*backup data if required.

*wipe data/cache/dalvik

*install zips

*set boot to 2nd boot

*watch your phone get quarxed.
[Defy General] tlongren:
I've done exactly that, but not with the v4 update, tried the other day with the v3 update.

I also made sure default boot was set to 2ndboot, but it always just goes to a black screen after the LED flashes red. The led flashes red right after it flashes blue to enter bootmenu.

Tempted to just flash my default eclair tmobile US SBF, update to Froyo, root, flash CM7, and try from there.
[Defy General] corrinti:
There is one important step omitted: after flashing build and update you shall wipe cache and dalvik again.

Red LED means you are in 2ndboot (green was for 2ndinit mode).

Sometimes you need to remove battery when stuck after first boot trial, sometimes it reboots once and then work ok, sometimes reboots several times - then go to CWM pressing vol - when blue LED on and make wipes again :laugh:
[Defy General] AnTerNoZ:

[Defy General] tlongren:
OK, after waiting at the red LED for about 10 minutes, I pulled battery, went into custom recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again. Rebooted and I'm still stuck at the red LED.

It just sits and sits at the red LED, never reboots or anything.

I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then installed Oct 18 2ndboot zip, then the v4 update zip, then minimal gapps zip. Cleared cache and dalvik again, then rebooted. Since doing that I haven't been able to get past the red LED, even after wiping cache and dalvik again.

What can I do? I seem destined to be stuck on the September 12 mb526 build. :(

I've just set it to Interactive. It was at OnDemand. Still getting nothing but the red LED though.

I went ahead and restored a nandroid of the September 12 build, which I really don't have a problem running as its quite stable for me.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Have you ever flashed any CM10 later than 12/09 build succesfully?

It was a long story started with those who couldn't flash 24/09, most probably because of kernel of their stock ROM.

What is your last stock system?

Is it a chinese signed sbf, BL5 or BL7?
[Defy General] sUpErwHoO:

[Defy General] tlongren:
I flashed the build September 24 build then got bootloops, my 2ndinit was gone. Had to flash my stock T-Mobile eclair SBF, update to Froyo OTA, root, install 2ndinit, restore nandroid of September 12 build. No idea what BL version I have. How can I find that out?
[Defy General] corrinti:
Can you give your eclair sbf file name before you start flashing anything?

Ps.And don't update OTA
[Defy General] tlongren:
This is the SBF I flashed:

JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

It came from here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

I renamed it to a shorter name before flashing with RSDLite 4.9.

Also, don't I have to update to Froyo before I can get 2ndinit to work? The OTA update I did was from Eclair to Froyo, then from there I installed 2ndinit and restored my nandroid.
[Defy General] corrinti:
I supposed so :p, as it's US T-mobile file

But in this case I don't know BL version, i.e. if you can flash froyo like 3.4.2_177 (works great with last builds) or you need BL5 version or even BL6 version to use last builds. Also can't check it on my W7/64 lap - tools don't work

Unfortunately I can't find posts of one US guy, who had the same problem, was from T-mobile and posted in dev thread, which sbf worked for him.

Anyway for sure it's your stock kernel issue

When I wrote not to update automatically I meant you didn't have control what will be flashed and what next limits it can give to you. Of course froyo update was required, as you needed froyo kernel, but it's better to choose the build yourself and flash it by RSD

Edit: got it :D - his nick is wskelly, next guy is _ossie_ from Australia, had the same problem as you. My workaround was switching to BL6 version 4.5.1-134, but ask especially wskelly what he flashed

Swype left to mute?

Hi All, does anybody know how to implement the good old "Swype left on lockscreen to toggle mute - ringer", as it was in Ginger, Froyo and all the way back? Been googling it for quite a while but can't seem to find it.

I also tried assigning an app from the market for this purpose to one of the slots in the lock dialer, it does work but it also has an unwanted side effect that it unlocks the phone (besides toggling the sound).

Any ideas will be appreciated... TIA.

Please don't bash me for the following.

I have been away for over a month and have lost track of stuff.

I am still on 24/09 (BTW excellent build). With new kernel and 2ndboot stuff released, I am not sure how to proceed with upgrade.

-> Should I simply download the new build and install as always without fiddling with kernel?

-> Is it necessary to use newer kernel? I would prefer to stick to GB unless new build do require latest kernel.

I don't want you to spoon feed me, just point me in the right direction. I tried looking in the forums but honestly I was lost, with so much going on.
