Experiencing low performance (MB525 Defy green lens)

Hi everyone. I installed CM10 latest release and I notice that is really slow in everything I do, even using the phone app, the keyboard or even the touch response. I know that Android handles well the memory but couldn't avoid noticing that even after restart I have almost 370 mb of ram used, and the maximum I was able to 'free' was 310 and only a few times, otherwise the minimum is 350. I don't have any app installed, and in CM7 I used to have 270 mb used when I wasn't doing anything. This could be related to the fact that I didn't install gapp minimum but the full set? Anyone experience slow response and heavy interface? It caught my attention since cdlq456 says that he have better performance with CM10, my experience is that it seems that the defy can't handle the CM10 with a fluent interface like it works with CM7, but maybe I'm the only one having this issue.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Also, I tried googling for a way to uninstall google apps to install the minimum package, but I couldn't find a clean way to do it, only some posts that talk about removing specific packages manually by deleting the APK. Anyone tried to change full gapps for minimum? I'm trying not to flash the SBF and start again from scratch since I already had issues with the SBF for "Claro (Argentina)" that I found on the internet and is supposed to be my stock version. After flashing it I kept getting random reboots or telephony system fails until I took it to Claro and made them reinstall the firmware.

So any idea on how to replace Full Google Apps with Minimum?

Just try to flash over, wipe dalvik and see what u have - worked once for me

And according to me we have a better performance with CM10 now. I had a chance to try two defies, one CM7, one CM10, and though in the begining CM7 was smoother, faster etc. , then the situation has changed in the second half of August.

What I am doing is removing unwanted apps from start-up (there is really a lot of unnecessary staff starting with a system) and unchecking most of HWA (leave it for default launcher, browsers, pic and movie apps, maps, UI, system, contacts)
[Defy General] henkaoh:
I think the only way is to use a lock pattern or pin-code on your lock screen. Like you I consider this a bug, but it is supposed to be a feature :)

[Defy General] nitin55:
Try disabling hwa for all the apps(except browser,launcher,gallery,systemUI). This may be the major reason why u have less free ram.

Me on 12/09 build of quarx with full gapps installed and i have 200 ram free all the time. Also i have seen that ppl on the development forum have again started to fight on the issue whether "Phone/SMS apps must be locked always in the memory". Honestly my phone respones very smoothly and also my dialer takes less than a second to open so really don't know why ppl are facing this issue. Finally Thank You Quarx for your wonderful build, I have been using the latest build for more than 3 days and everything works super smooth :D except for the known bugs( video recording sound etc). Simply Awesome ROM. :D :)

hiya

Just adding my 2cents as a newbie here

Great having 4.1.1 on my Defy+ .. however there are some problems

- Wifi seems very very weak in terms of picking up wifi spots.. from my workplace before the flash I could see atleast 15 wifi spots.. now this only shows 2 .. even on our home connection I get only 1 or 2 bars.. and that is even in the same room :S

- Navigation features will not work when trying to load it up away from a wifi connection.. eg it cant get a data connection (It will still show the GPS using JUST the offline map fine,.. but its getting zero data.. eg wont give you directions/traffic/places etc.. works fine if I load it all up at home before going out.. however it simply wont work under normal cell conditions.

- Same thing for google now.. works fine from home, but as soon as I get out to where its relying on cell .. nope.. wont get a connection

But the strange thing is...

- Browser works 100% fine 100% of the time :S

Cheers (Also I am not living in some third world country with terrible cell tech etc.. I am in New Zealand where I have never had a problem before :D)

[BUG] CM10 screen wake problem

Hi,

I am running the Quarx 0912 Nightly on a Defy+ and I have noticed a bug with the screen. I have had this happen twice - the phone screen will not wake up when the power or volume buttons are pressed. however, the phone will vibrate and ring when called. The only option is to reboot by removing the battery.

Any thoughts?
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
Dear cdlq456, does what you say mean that my CM7 is having froyo kernel? I ask because its kernel version sounds like a GB one..

I have CM7 working and my kernel version is 'kernel 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 vfcj78@zch68lnxdroid50 #1'

Doesn't that gb mean gingerbread?
[Defy General] markstos:
bug: freeze when making ending phone calls.

I experience the same behavior on a Defy with the same build, and it appears to be a bug. Often when calling, there appears to be no way to hang up an active call. This makes it most noticeable when leaving a voicemail, as a live caller will usually hang up about the same time you do.

I look forward to an updated build which corrects this issue.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

The FAQ mentions the built-in tool to update from one nightly to another. A great tool to have available!

I would appreciate if the FAQ could be updated to clarify rather updating the ROM this way is a "start-from-scratch clean install" experience, or whether my apps/data/settings are maintained while only the system files and binaries are upgraded.

Except for a problem when hanging up phone calls, I'm very impressed the 0812 build of CM10 by Quarx, and plan to keep using and upgrading it.

Thanks!
[Defy General] Lazer:

Thanks but keep it updated always. :)

[Defy General] g440i:
it seems that the screen is draining power in latest JB build. I got almost 50% of the battery used by the screen.
[Defy General] dereckzh:
yes, i have the same problem! it is VERY annoying :crying: ，it occurs 2-3 or more times per day, and randomly.
[Defy General] alonhzn:
Maybe it's a result of the md5sum mismatch?
[Defy General] trurl3:
That means, you have to download once more, preferably from another mirror. I had problems with downloading this ROM too. MD5 from info file and checked on ROM file have to match!!!
[Defy General] ironman3636:

CM10 Performance Issues [Solved]

Thanks both of you for your responses, I didn't have time this weeks to thanks you properly and let everybody now about my results. I tried all you options with excellent results, The HWA removing does most of the work but also removing app from start-up adds some additional performance. I still found that CM7 works more fluent so I will go back there since I had some work to do for Android 2.3.7 but I will try again JB in a month when I'm done with my diligence. Thanks everyone again for the support.
[Defy General] Bay Harbor Butcher:
Hi guys, what do you think about this rom compared to the CM9 by Quarx?It the CM10 more stable or do you suggest to wait some weeks till the CM10 fix some issues?

Thanks..
[Defy General] taxydo:
Unfortunately I have problem with Viber app , every time I try to install it I got this message " X App not installed " . I don’t have this problem with WIUI v4 (JB) . I really don’t know what is the problem ?
[Defy General] corrinti:
First we should know what is the difference. Custom recovery is a developmental release of a stable recovery, usually not fully checked for bugs but containing new elements / changes in the program. Usually we won't find the differences by ourselves.

In some development steps this new functionality is necessary, but I don't know if now it can help with our CM10.

So the cause why the phone starts in stable recovery is simple - developers are sure it works without bugs.

About 2ndinit - I never uncheck debugging (actually never touch it), also I don't reboot twice :cool: - it is enough to reboot (or with older systems power off as reboot is not in menu) and then during start press vol (-) when green LED is on. It works.
[Defy General] shangjiyu:
CM10 is good enough for me for daily use!:)
[Defy General] defy_plus:
should I go in stable recovery fot instalatoin of CM10? is it normal after restoring a backup the phone to reboot itself (I left it alone when began restoring and after I came back it wanted to enter PIN). it showed me the previous menu - reboot now - after another restoration. when I installed 2nd init for the first time, as I remember, I was only seeing the blue LED, on next flashes and installs - a green one immediately after the blue, and a red one while displaying CM boot animation
[Defy General] corrinti:
As wrote above I didn't find any difference in flashing CM10 from stable or custom. Just check, u'll not brick your phone and u'll have a chance to learn :D

Frankly saying I don't remember whether phone reboots itself after nandroid backup restoration, I don't mind though I made it several times this week. It's a matter of funcionality, nothing else.

When installing 2ndinit u have to give SU permission twice. If u don't pass these steps immediately after installation maybe u have to reboot several times to have it working. When u know it u just save your time.

Just try and learn - the best way

i got my battery drop & charge problem fixed!!

o here's what i did...i flashed gingerspeed which has the kernal from defy+ and after that i flashed cm10...now i can charge it to 100% and its more than a week now, didnt face any battery drop !! :D:D:D

NOTE:- I'm using defy+ battery with my original defy!

MB525

CM10 24-9-12 MB526

HF5X battery
[Defy General] gandhi2:
Hi, I flashed my Defy+ with the "New Battery Fix" (from the "Where can I download all that I need" section in first post), it looks like the battery meter will not reach 100% when charging, it has been charging 8 hours and got from 83% till 89%. Should I flash with the regular "Battery Fix for red lens" instead? If yes, do I have to reinstall the ROM or can I just flash that file?

Btw, I found the Pre-steps links in first post of this thead to require quite some digging for a complete noob, so I wrote my own install list, if any other noobs would need it:

Root defy+ (MB526 DFP-231, download files from "How to Root BL7" section, first link leads to a broken file it seems, so take that filename, find it in this list and download from there instead)

-- move in menus on the device with the volume buttons, confirm with the power button --

1. Install RSDLite on your PC (I used version 5.6: Download)

2. Restart your phone and hold Power + Volume Down button to enter Recovery mode

(you will have to press Volume Down + Volume Up when you see the Android icon on screen)

3. Wipe data then wipe cache

4. Restart your phone and hold Power + Vulume Up button to enter the Boot Menu while the phone is connected to the PC

5. Now the phone drivers should be installed on your PC

6. Start RSDLite, once the phone is found in RSDLite, select the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231 file and flash the phone

7. Repeat step 3

8. Start RSDLite, once the phone is found in RSDLite, select the Second sbf file you downloaded and flash the phone

9. Repeat step 3

Install SndInit (Download):

1. Move the SndInitDefy.apk file to the SD card, enable installation from other sources and install the app

Install CM10 (latest builds are linked in the first post of this thread):

1. Move CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526 and gapps-jb-2012xxxx-signed to the SD card

2. Restart your phone and wait till you see the blue led light up, press Volume down to enter SndInit

3. Go to Recovery > Custom recovery

4. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Go to Install zip from SD card > Choose zip from SD card

6. Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip

7. Flash Gapps

8. Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended)

9. Optional: Go to Backup / Restore and create a backup of your newly installed OS

10. Restart
[Defy General] corrinti:
Well, it works correct, and the problem is that if u have Defy+ u shouldn't flash any battery fix. Both files u mentioned have 'redlense' in its name and they r for regular defy with bayer camera, not for defy +.

If u have a nandroid backup of your previous state I would go back and flash again without red lense battery fix.

If not make a nandroid backup of your data and start over again, then restore data backup.
[Defy General] gandhi2:
Thanks corrinti, I only have nandroid backup from after flashing with the battery fix, so I have to start over, but from where? Redo the CM10 installation or do I have to go further back?
[Defy General] corrinti:
Well, not quite sure but suppose u'll need to flash sbf file, as CM10 zip doesn't remove battery fix.

If your ROM was based on 4.5.2-109-DHT-2 kernel (BL5) u may try this way

But if u had BL6 or 7 most probably u have to start with proper sbf

And most important lesson: do your backup before making bigger changes :p
[Defy General] KicknGuitar:
Thanks for the Guide. Clear and thorough. Now if only I could get my lock gestures from CM7 into CM10...

Make sure you're not MD5'ing the MD5 file. Other wise you're looking at the numbers to confirm that the MD5 is legit. I forgot to do that and freaked out once seeing how different they were.

i.e. Open the "MD5 file" in a txt editor and compare that number to the downloaded zip's md5sum
[Defy General] alonhzn:
Thanks, but i know how to compare MD5s... I downloaded the CM10-20120912-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip twice and in both time it had a554d6c018f04c55c89b7164ee376c54. I think the file on the server might be damaged.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Try another mirror from Quarx' thread
[Defy General] alonhzn:
Thanks! the file from the mirror is good!

What about the Motorola Defy XT 535

I have the Motorola Defy XT 535. I don't see a green lens or a red lens. What does that mean? Can I still root it and install CM10/JB on it? Can I follow the instructions below verbatim or do I need to do anything different?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

[Defy General] JayH5:
Defy XT525

The Defy XT runs on a completely different platform to the regular Defy so none of the Defy software will be much use.

You'll have to try get your own device forum, or find a device based on the Qualcomm MSM7227 that has a good community of developers, as that device's software is likely to be much more similar to the Defy XT.

Hello,

Any idea how I can install BusyBox without messing up the sh - ash symlinks? I wanted to use an OpenVPN with Friedrich Schäuffelhut's app, so I installed BusyBox, which is a prerequisite to that, but after the installation I'd get sh: applet not found every time I tried to install apps on my phone from PC.

Quarx kernel

The new nightly is out with quarx's custom kernel. Dont want to dilute the dev thread so any comments on stability?

Also from what i understand it backs up some settings from previous flashes so to go from stock to 10/10 one would have to go via an older build?

Hot reboot every 2 - 5 Minutes

Hello,

i have a Defy MB525 with red lense. I tried both builds from 28.08.2012 with the correct Kernel Versions.

But the Phone reboots every 2 - 5 Minutes.

Have anyone a Idea what this could be?

thanks
[Defy General] corrinti:
What do u mean reboots after 2-5 min? It boots up, normally works for 2 - 5 min and reboots?

Have u changed vsels or other hardware parameters?

Was it a clean install starting with parent sbf or ...?
[Defy General] svekam:
It boots up, works some minutes, a then i see the boot Animation again for a shorter time than on a normal boot and than it works for some minutes again, an so on.

Previously i used the cyanogenmod version 7.1.011 from Quarx.

i use the default parameters from this release.

Hi again,

I have a green lens... no camera, and now even video playback sux... after using a GB rom and rooting what I think was BL7 (or 6)

I now have no Idea wether I can get a working camera, proper video playback and a smooth working phone with proximity working.

Any advice ??

ps according to phone I am now running : kernel 2,6,32,9-ge281b6e

CM10 latest Quarx build 24/09
[Defy General] corrinti:
Again :laugh:

- have u did full wipe when changing from CM7 to CM10? I mean wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, cache?

- what are your vsel settings?

- which ROM u had as a parent full sbf?

or just try 11/10 build

Now u are ok with your camera again when u use latest Quarx build (11/10 or next when possible) - it again lets green lense sucked with BL6 and 7 to use their camera.

Download, flash zip, wipe dalvik cache and cache. If u have problems with booting up (usually need to remove battery for a while after first trial of booting) go to development section and find a solution of additional zip to flash (at least till this OP will be updated) - some need it.

CM10 10/11 - update. Defy, Red lens, Phone resets often

Hi all, new here.

I just updated my Defy / red lens according to the instructions in the OP.

Used:

CM10-20121011-NIGHTLY-mb526

gapps-jb-20120726-signed

RedLensBatteryFix_Working

kernel-gb-234-451-134-signed

I believe I used the latest versions of the above items, and the newly release update for CM10. Initially I got a RED LED, but it went away after the a bit. Everything seemed to install properly.

(everything below was performed without sim card installed)

When I booted the phone, it took me through the registration steps (eg connect to google, wifi, etc). When I got to the home screen I immediately tried the camera. When I selected the icon, the phone restarted (went back to the CMod image from startup--the circle with Cmod in the middle--and then it quickly returned to home screen). I tried again, and the same occurred.

Other items I noticed was that the WiFi signal was poor. I tried using other apps, and after selecting the phone reset again.

I shut down the phone, removed the battery from about 30 sec, and then turned the phone on. Instead of restarting, it rebooted and sent me back to the original process of registering the info (eg country, gmail account, etc). After this, the initial WiFi signal seemed better, but then it went to poor again. I tried the camera, and it worked, BUT it reset the phone again after the picture was taken.

(i removed the battery, installed sim card, and the phone again rebooted)

I set-up the phone again. I tried making a call; it worked. I tried using the internet (web page)-- i got a blank white screen and the phone froze. A minute or so later it reset again to the CyanogenMod icon with the spinning image.

BLAH! Not sure whats going on. Cool techonology though, and appreciation towards those working on this stuff

Thoughts

Thanks
[Defy General] Pacquix:
I don't know why the voice command application does never understand what I say on CM10, and it shows random commands... it worked very good on the stock rom and the voice recognition is still perfect (Vlingo works very good) maybe it is an ICS/JB issue?

I'm using 12/10 build now.
[Defy General] Dw07u:
Try latest Gapps

Try the latest Gapps

Cant post link due to XDA rules... but go get the latest gapps

Also, I havent tried, but somewhere there is now a custom kernel going around... might look into that...

Just flashed my phone and it booted a tad slow, which is normal for first boot after flash, but give it time, even after putting in your pin, just to sort out all its crap... Works fine now :D also, you might find it laggy at first, but just give it a lil more time and it will speed up, like 3 mins or so...

Hope it helps

EDIT:

Using winamp with lock screen player I did get a crash and restart, but been running for like 10min now with camera usage and appolo, no probs, will update to that custom rom too, you see why its best to update to latest gapps is cuz the rom you flashed is JB 4.1.2 while the gapps is 4.1.1, although theoretically backward compatible, more stable with matching version support...
