The new 2ndboot builds include a new kernel, so you don't have to fiddle with it at all, it will be automatically installed alongside the ROM. Just install the latest build from 10.18., then install the v4 update, wipe cache and dalvik and you're good to go.

Hi everyone!

I am having big problems with CM10 on my Defy MB525 - (Green Lens)

1. I am having lots of spontaneous resets

2. When I enter the storage screen I get the following data:

INTERNAL STORAGE Total space 0.00B

Apps 70.57MB

INTERNAL STORAGE Total space 7.41GB

Available 6.69GB

This results in, that I am unable to install anything from Play Store, as it tells me that there is 'insufficient space on the device'.

My data:

Build number:

cm-mb525-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03L eng.quarx.20120924.114927 test-keys

CyanogenMod Version:

10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525

Kernel version:

2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8

Android Version

4.1.1

I have tried installing the cm7 kernel both prior to and after the CM - same result

Any ideas on what is wrong and what to do about it?

Went back to 0924 and battery life seem to have doubled, so I guess my phone just don't work very well with the new 2ndboot :(

Hey,

my Defy is running with the latest ROM by Quarx and i am experiencing one Large problem. Exchange does not work correctly. I can create a new account and when i try to sync it says that it worked properly, but I doesn't get Mails, or contacts/calendar entries.

Sorry, I don't know if it's a gapps error, or if it's caused by the ROM.

Thanks for any help!

--- solved! ----
[Defy General] nostupidthing:
sounds like something that offer different (pre-defined?) cpu profiles, probably kernel parameters too, doesn't seem very special, may as well just limit the top speed to 800mhz??? description in the app sounds half-snake oil and comments in the original thread aren't that good.

the dev's intent and spirit maybe good but fooling around the kernel parameters are sth usually recommended.

Now that we're here, I'll just say this again:

A rather big problem for those of us who decided to format the sdcard to ntfs.

It is working great when accessing from a booted system, BUT the recovery fails to mount it.. which means that we can't apply updates unless we format back to fat32.

So I'd rather stay away from ntfs right now, as every update concerning this problem can't be installed anyway ;)
[Defy General] Fotogravin:
Did you try to make a small FAT32-partition for installing updates? I guess that could work
[Defy General] Coodarah:
I admit, this isn't comfortable at all, though the NTFS partition brings some advantages.

But why format back?

Sure, a proper solution is desirable.

In the meantime my solution for this problem would be, to sync the desired content (TB folder, CWM folder etc.) with another FAT-formatted SD card living in the SD card slot of my notebook.

So I'm able to switch cards when it comes to updates, and after proceeding switch cards back again to have access to my "big data" on the NTFS formatted SD card.

If there is finally a solution for mounting the NTFS card with CWM Recovery then I was up to date on both cards.
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
That's a nice idea actually.

I'll give it a try later on.

A little bug

The 2/11/2012 update of cm10 for defy+ works great!

Except for an odd bug.

The file explorer doesn't work. When I launch it, it says it was unable to boot in root access mode, so it asks if i want to boot it in safe mode. Whether i choose yes or no, it crashes.

I also have Total Commander installed from a previous version of cm10 and it crashes the second I launch it.

I've downloaded File Manager from the play store and that works fine.

I'm good for now, but it'd be great if this gets fixed :)

Also, ever since i've upgraded to cm10, i can't updated the su binaries. Odd thing that is.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for letting us know about this issue. Until an update comes up with a solution, a possible workaround would be to have another SD card, fat32 formatted, ready with the file one wants to flash. Turn the phone off, remove the battery, switch the card, reinsert the battery, boot into recovery, flash the update, turn off again, remove the battery, switch the card again with the ntfs one, reinsert the battery, and boot the phone up.

Just my 2 cents...

why use NTFS when we have ext4 and exFat???

Question: How do I back up my battery file? I know quarx roms do this automatically, but I want to flash a full SBF since I can't install roms with custom kernel on my defy, and I don't want to have more battery drops than I do now
[Defy General] gkkovacs:
So I flashed Quarx's CMX 4.1, and it looks like a great stable ROM (I'm coming from MS2Ginger, which I liked very much).

Installation went without a hitch. No reboots, no serious problems.

Unfortunately - after installing a couple of apps I use regularly (Maps, Facebook, Instagram, Viber, Swiftkey) - there are lags and stutters all around, it's not much more "liquid" than MS2Ginger.

Couple of issues:

- button brightness is at maximum, can't be changed

- battery life is not very good (even with low vsels: 18/300, 30/600, 42/800, 53/1000)

- phone app is slow (proximity sensor reacts with a delay), will try to disable HWA for it

I have enabled KSM and disabled zRAM, then later set zRAM to 10%. Will try to experiment more with KSM and zRAM settings to find a good balance with battery life and a lag-free interface.

Any tips how KSM / zRAM should be setup?

Any tips regarding which apps should HWA be disabled for?
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
Because with NTFS I have R/W access on Windows and on Linux.

Ext4 makes me use third party applications on Windows just so that I can access my data and I certainly won't support Microsoft's patent claims concerning exFAT.

That's why.

Google Authentication

I got a problem here:

Used "2-step verification" by Google and that didn't quite work on JB so I deactivated it.

Now about every hour I have to reenter my Google Login because I get:

Re-type Password

Sign-in

Anyone got a solution?

Version: 10-18+Updatev4
[Defy General] YaPeL:
for r/w on linux and windows with ex4, you can use MTP (unless you need it to work with xp)
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
I always thought MTP was a terrible abomination and I'm not likely to change my standpoint now. ;)
[Defy General] Coodarah:
I don't know exactly how you did set up your 2-step verification and what application specific passwords you were using for which apps.

Your "every hour I have to re-type my password" sounds like an app on your phone (maybe your Email app; not Gmail) which has a schedule in its settings, wanting to fetch/push data from/to or synchronize with Google.

Because this app "knows" a wrong (application-specific) password Google demands that you re-type your password.

If you set an application-specific password, maybe you should set the password back to your origin Google password in the settings of that app on your phone.

You could also check your Security Dashboard to be sure you removed all applications/corresponding application-specific passwords over there.

Also I would check all currently active logins on your Google status page and drop all of them.

Hope, you'll solve your issue :good:
[Defy General] sa3e1:
A lot of people including me have the experiece, that it's better to leave setting on stock value.

KSM and zRAM just slows down the system...I also tried overclocking and playing around with setvsel, but performance wasn't any better than "stock" Quarx's settings.
[Defy General] bone101:

[Defy General] gkkovacs:
Well in Quarx's stock settings, KSM is off but zRAM is on, set to 18%.

I've only been using the phone for a day with CMX, so I have no idea what to expect about these options.

What I do know is that overclocking / undervolting does speed up the phone and increases battery life as well.

My vsel/frequency settings are: 18/300, 30/600, 42/800, 53/1000

These worked great on MS2Ginger, and work just as well on CMX.

Security Screen lock with pattern- clicking on notification locks screen

Hi all,

Been using CM10 for a week and absolutely loving it.

One thing I'm confused about: when I select 'pattern' as the security screen lock, every time I click on a notification (e.g. gmail message, text message, etc...), the lock screen comes up again and I have to input my security pattern. Is this a bug? or am I missing a setting? I've tried searching for this issue but no luck, so apologies if it has been addressed elsewhere.

Is there a way to keep a pattern lock but avoid this issue of having to input it again whenever I click on a notification?

Would appreciate any feedback- thank you all for your great work!

Advice for camera?

Hi all, this ROM is awesome save a few well known by now glitches, however I could use some advice regarding the camera. I was mainly trying to recover my main use for the camera which is 720p recording and which I had on my previous MS2Ginger / Gingerspeed ROM. I tried a few things but my experience was mixed:

- default (4.1.1) camera: everything works fine (at least everything I tested / used), but no 720p recording.

- leaked (4.2) camera: very few options, as compared with 4.1.1. Don't care about photosphere, can live on without it, panorama does work, still no 720p, but the main issue with it, IT DOESN'T FOCUS! If I use the "auto" scene, I can see the camera trying to focus and actually shooting when the picture is VERY out of focus. The lens "brackets" (two semi-circular segments enclosed in the supposedly focusing area when shooting) always show red. Haven't been able to find a way around this other than setting the scene to other than auto - not that many choices tho.

- LG Camera: there are many posts out there of people who report successfully using this camera, but my experience is close to the worst you could find. For starters, the actual interface is horrible (well... tastes are tastes, to me it is plain horrible). It always sets the brightness to full, regardless of how I change the setting for this, it hangs when trying to record at 720p in all the settings I tried (probably not all the possible ones but pretty close), and the worst of all, it seems to miss focus just like the 4.2 camera when shooting stills, but not only that, it's like it hangs the camera module and all other cameras also miss the focus after using this one - only fixed by reboot, that I found so far.

I'm running the 10-18 nightly + V4 update + Walter79/espaciosalter20's RIL on a defy-non-plus (MB 525) red lens, yellow actually but still Bayer module, with a 16GB class-6 SD. If anyone has a hint on how to set up the LG cam to successfully record 720p, or on a different cam, that would be much appreciated. TIA....

Experience and problems with CMX 0211 with 0711 update:

Button backlight

- button backlight changing still doesn't work (there is a different zip that solves the problem, but 0711 does not)

Battery consumption

- battery consumption is still about 2x higher than MS2Ginger (I'm using the same vsels and freqs)

- especially when using apps/screen is on

Lots of lags

- launcher and app switching becomes very laggy after some time

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

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

- lag problems are the same with zRam and KSM turned on or off

App problems

- compass calibration does not work (never turns green)

- proximity sensor does not work with Viber (it did work on MS2Ginger from Viber 2.2.1)

- Chrome is very laggy, unusable

- Browser force closes a lot with big web pages (try loading http://index.hu/?teljes)

It looks like memory is not enough for a Jelly Bean system, even though Settings/Apps shows 80-120 MB free memory all the time.

Confirmed

Seems about the same to me, around 1.5-2 days depending on phone usage, pretty much what I had with MS2ginger

I dont suffer from any noticeable lags, phone app always comes up instantly for me.

compass calibrates and works fine for me, are you waiting long enough? it will take some time. proximity sensor works fine here both in the phone app and the app 'androsens' it shows all sensors working fine. I use app 'gps status' to confirm if compass is working plus maps. browser seems fine but I'm not a heavy user. I dont use viber thought but I cant see how it wouldnt work if the sensor itself is working?

Which gapps package did you install? I went with the minimal. if you go with full then this takes up more room so you have to clear some space on the phone, plus the extra apps may add more battery drain

edit: try disabling google location services this can help with drain:
