Thank you

OMG thank you so much for the swift reply:good::good::victory: i hope i'm 1 of the people with no wifi/data probs! :)

CM10 here i come! :)
[Defy General] Boxey11:
I have tried the usb trick to solve the battery drain problem and after 8 hours of testing confirm that it has worked for me. I am running the latest build of CM10 with the latest kernel update and battery drain is reduced from about 33mA room about 18mA and battery temperature reduced from 33 degrees to 22. The ROM continues to be as smooth as ever.

Well done on finding this fix. It has made CM10 With custom kernel the perfect ROM for me.

can u plz elaborate the instructions...i read that complete thread but found it little difficult to understand the instruction
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
- Copy the file to your SDCard (renaming ramdisk.gz to only ramdisk)

- Open Root Explorer

- Go to the location where you copied the ramdisk and copy it

- Go to System/bootmenu/2nd-boot

- Click the 'Mout r/w' button

- Paste the file

- Restart

I have a question too.. I did the process without renaming (extracting instead) before I manage to read the second note from Quarx.. and my phone worked fine, but I still replaced the file once again (with the gz file).. is there an explanation to this?

Friends,

I follow a lot of time the XDA forum, including here already downloaded some ROMS that are prolonging the life of my DEFY.

I installed the ROM Quarx following the manual and everything worked.

I would like to update it to the latest version, but the step by step FAQ only works in versions 9-24 or earlier.

I know 2NDBOOT BUILDS WITH THE NEW CUSTOM KERNEL REQUIRES DIFFERENT STEPS, but I did not find how to anywhere!

Can you help me please?

Sorry for my english, is that I am Brazilian.

i think that ur flashed a bl7 build, others i can't explain me why it don't work. bl7 need some other procedure for CM10 i read, but i don't know it cause I'm on bl5.

and if I'm right ur can not go back to earlier builds before the bl7 build

Slow performance - overclocked to 1200 - Quadrant only 1600

Hi everybody, I must say it is amazing how this thread is active and how Quarx is performing...

I installed this ROM on my Defy+ yesterday. Before I tested only the stock ROM and CM7.2 White Rabbit - I liked the smoothness of the later very much - everything you touch happens instantly in the UI. Yet I did not manage to get over the battery drain issue and also the signal was freezing on some values - making my phone calls impossible.

I am very happy with this Quarx's ROM - everything seems to run great, battery perfect BUT I did not manage to find a satisfying solution for the "laziness" of the system. I overclocked it to 1200MHz yet in Quadrant it reaches only 1640 - The mentioned CM7.2 WR reached 1940 with the same settings/apps.

What am I doing wrong - or is it just a fact? I guess not when other members are mentioning its smoothness (my UI is very laggy - even a little bit worse than with the stock ROM - bought two weeks ago)... I did search but did not find...

Thanks in advance for any hints or comments.
[Defy General] ralphx10:
Hm, it's just a shot in the dark, but some things you might try:

Make sure interactive govenour is set in the bootlader.

Only install the minimal gapps. If you install the regular ones your system partition is nearly full. Just a guess, but I think this could influence performance.

See if activating some of the memory tweaks in system settings > performance (I'm not on an English defy, but I think that should be it) make a difference. For example, try to enable zram, which compresses stuff stored in memory, and see if it helps.

I can tell you from my experience that starting from scratch, that is doing a factory reset, installing the latest rom and update and minimal gapps, this thing flies on my defy.

Hope this helps and good luck.

[Defy General] corrinti:
Mate, you will loose your battery this way. First try to restart, go to cwm and wipe dalvik and cache again.

But how you updated and what you had before????

I was one of those having problems with some flashes when on BL5.

(my other problem was that other BL5 sbfs I've tried were somehow unrootable ??? )

I decided to go one step further (I don't have to worry as my warranty is expired) and flashed BL6

Mine is also MB525 red lense. Link to the table with ROMs, be careful to choose the same one, just not to mess up with BL7

You quoted his message, but did not check the answers? Come on..

So to put it in short.. pages 37, 39, 40 and 42 have very similar lists.. and they are all fine..

all they boil down to:
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
Just a note.. if I am not wrong flashing GB kernel on green lens Defy is a bad idea.. So it all depends on the camera the one using your notes has.. If you agree.. please edit your post ;)
[Defy General] krestian:
Yep. Good point, probably worth noting. I, myself, am on a red lens (yellow, actually, but still Bayer) so I'm not sure / don't know.

Green lens users, beware, you might want to check this out. The flash file is a fixed SBF anyway, so you can still go back to BL4 (indeed... involving RDS and stuff I'd rather stay away from, personally AND if you didn't flash any higher FULL SBF before, that is). However and from what I read, this custom kernel and the whole 2nd-boot method has recovered the camera functionality for green lenses even on BL7... you may want to check the dev thead for confirmation. Yes.... a long read, but worth every minute.

Thanks for pointing this out. (BTW. the original poster was already on MS2Ginger, so they were at this -fixed- SBF level anyway)
[Defy General] jonesy17:
I've noticed that every time I flash the 18/10 ROM and V3 update, the CPU settings in the bootmenu always has the 'load all modules' option disabled.

I don't really notice any performance differences whether it's enabled or not... just seems weird.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: I just flashed the new v4 kernel update and same thing again. Is it that this is meant to be like that?

[Defy General] Pepi_X:
I have the suspicion it is up to filling the system partition.. I would suggest you to reinstall the last CM, last update and then install the minimal gapps instead of the full ones.. (I did it an hour ago and as far as I see the average memory available is some 70-80MB more)
[Defy General] :
Your right you know but I don't think reflashing well solve anything as it's the ram that's greeting filed up for no reason I have a ram cleaner installed and it's always showing that the memory it's full and I have to keep cleaning it almost after every app I use! It's getting really annoying!

Signal freezing

Did anyone experience a problem with the signal strength freezing on a certain value and then making a phone call is impossible - it says "dialling"... but nothing happens - only restart helps.
[Defy General] corrinti:
My proposals (maybe some you've already tried):

- remove any ram cleaner, task killer and other such a staff, especially when they work automatically

- do not mark 'purge assets'

- use autostart manager to stop some apps from starting with a system (I use ES Task Manager but there are many apps in GP)

- use kill apps for back button - usefull for some apps that do not close totally but remain active in the background even when you don't need them

- set your zRAM depending to whatever your phone is used for (usually more gaming, more zRAM)

ANyway with ca 120 user apps my RAM still shows ca 200 MB free, which means I don't use it as much as I should :cowboy:

After reading through a few pages of this thread, I'll prefix my post with the following: I would appreciate if someone could provide an actual response to my questions (or a link to one), rather than having someone who dedicates their life to flashing their phone flame me for not doing the same. If the questions below are truly "frequently asked questions" in this post, why not add the answers to the OP?

I am using a Defy red lense with CodenameAndroid 3.6.5, I would like to update to the latest CM10. I have downloaded the latest rom from Quarx but see a bunch of other files on his site which were uploaded relatively recently. If someone is in a helpful mood, please help me understand:

1. What is the purpose or function of the files listed below:

2ndboot.ko

4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf

hboot.elf

hbootmod.ko

omaplfb.ko

pvrsrvkm.ko

ramdisk

update_for_18.10_v4.zip

2. Of these files, which are required when installing 4.1.2 and which are optional?

3. For the ones which are installed after flashing, what is the correct procedure?

4. Under what conditions should I be using the optional files?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] :
ramdisk is a fix for the battery drainage problem,2nd boot well 2ndboot is a workaround to boot our BL locked cells,the older 2ndinit didn't let us skip stock teh stock kernel.

Till now we used 2ndinit way With 2ndboot builds 'boot' in bootmenu is set to 2ndboot by default thats abt it :P,remaining are also better left untouched :p and none of those files except ramdisk are needed when flashing the latest build
[Defy General] Conzo427:
I recently updated from the September 24 build to the October 18. My phone no longer boots, however I can enter the boot menu. It seems as thorough every option eventually brings me back to the main menu, The only thing that doesn't is reboot, shutdown, and stock recovery, which just brings up an android with a exclamation point next to it.

defyus3r.. it seems you missed the most important pieces of my advice.. not 'to reflash', but to 'reflash with the minimal gapps' ;)

I am not sure it is possible to remove the full apps any other way.. that's why reflashing the builds as well. :)

Try it.. doesn't hurt.. I spent a few days with full apps before making out that it is most probably the sheer amount of Google apps loaded up that slows down the phone.. (I believe I also saw it mentioned somewhere else too..)

I am not sure how I saw that my system partition has only 4MB free.. can't find what tool I used back then, but having in mind the minimal gapps are 9 times smaller (the zip) than the full ones.. should be quite a difference.
[Defy General] :
Congratulations on your 500th post :highfive: i took your advice so i removed my RAM cleaner,never had a task killer to remove :p ,purge assets-i thought it was supposed to help make it faster? oh well its been unchecked now and stopping apps from starting with the system im yet to accomplish and the kill apps for back button has also been checked now BTW whats zRAM? im a hardcore gamer and id really like to know:D

BUT my free memory isnt anywhere NEAR 200 mb!! in fact its usually around 120-40mb!!! FYI heres something ive been wanting to ask for a long time now ive observed that even if i leave my cell idle ALLOT of ram gets used up for no good reason i mean sync wouldve been off hell internet and wifi wouldve been off even then theres a huge decrease in amount of free ram available also when leaving my phone idle during the night free memory wouldve been around 150mb and when i wake up and take a look 40mb free what the @#$$?

and the performance is extremely varied! as i said in my previous post sometimes its smooth as butter sometimes damn near unusable :confused: help please?
[Defy General] AnTerNoZ:
ur right with full Gapps, my custom Gapps also slow down the phone, but it's because the apps from Google most stay in memory.

why u want to reflash? u only need one app called system cleanup, and throw all not needed apps out of the system. if that is not enought, search the lib's with root explorer and del it. but the most important folder is the offline voice recognition folder, the files eat many from system partition. system/usr/srec/

Jelly powered.Defy
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
Because It is faster.. If I reflash I don't need to cross check what app is what, what is needed for another one, which library deletion may break the system and so on :)

BTW: Can someone suggest what application I can use to see the partitions state? I can't find what I used 2-3 days ago and check the partitions free space?

@defyus3r - come on.. try the minimal apps.. doesn't hurt.
[Defy General] :
Hmmm,well while flashing this ROM i indeed flashed the minimal gapps package as google navigation and street view arent available in my country hence felt they wouldnt be needed and hence no flash :p although im not understanding as to how flashing the gapps minimal package now would not only help improve performance AND remove any extra google app(got none other than youtube btw) alrighty then ill give it a try and report back:good:

[Defy General] nitin55:
Do you have HWA enabled for all apps?? If yes then disable HWA(except for launcher, gallery, system ui and browser).
[Defy General] corrinti:
As said above by nitin55 you can also uncheck HWA for most of apps - it takes RAM and is not required. As some of them are most of the time in memory, like phone.apk and many system apps, then RAM is lowered by them still not giving any advantages to the system. Don't uncheck it for games ;), launcher, contacts, system ui, system itself, internet browsers. Just think and check how it performs

But your RAM leakage and varying performance is also something else going on in your phone. And it is really hard to find out without a phone in a hand and some tools. My proposal is to install ES Taks Manager (ES File Explorer is probably required too). Then you will be able to check which apps takes your RAM, cache and also remove some of them from the start-up with a system.

As I understand that when you check your free RAM you've never noticed any apps tking a lot of RAM or caching a lot of inormation.

Maybe some games are still working in the background? (if so found, just kill them with backbutton instead of normal closing).

And zRAM is for, well, cite Wiki "zRam is an experimental (staging) module of the Linux kernel. It was previously called "compcache". zRam increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive. Since using RAM is faster than using disks, zRam allows Linux to make more use of RAM when swapping/paging is required, especially on older computers with less RAM installed.[1][2]

Even though the cost of RAM hardware is relatively low this feature still offers advantages for netbooks and other lower-powered latops, virtualization and in the case of embedded devices, especially those that use flash memories that have a limited lifespan, dependent on write-use and thus wear out quickly when used as a swap device" :D

Try setting it to the higher level in settings>performance>memory management and check whether more requiring games play better

Edit: for purging assets see Quarx OP in his thread in development section - can cause lags
