Hi,

I used CM-7.1 and then CM-7.2 for a long time, now I wanted to use cm-10-20130527-NIGHTLY-mb526 on my Red Lens normal Defy. (and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip )

I exactly followed "For 2nd Boot Builds", except doing a kernel upgrade (because there is none, right?), but now my Device is either forever booting, or showing the little android with the triangle sign. From there pressing both volume up+down I can go to the defy's stock recovery (it seems?)

So now can anyone help me from here, I am quite lost. Fast replies would really help to be able to use my phone again. I guess in the worst case I would just remove my microsd and put the cm-7.2 zip on again with my pc (renamed to update.zip) and flash it with the stock recovery? Then apply my backups with titanium backup (or nandroid, how without cwm?)

Thanks for any help!

This is extremely strange, I wiped data/factory reset with the stock recovery. I could then "normally" boot into CM10 ... I set up my google account and did a reboot into recovery just to make sure... In the end it didnt reboot into recovery but just rebooted, greeting me again with a new google account setup ... something is really really wrong ..

I would love to keep this working however, and not need to go back to 7.2 :( - I also don't know exactly how I would get back to 7.2 :(

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

From my own analysis it seems there is not much space on /system, I also cant install apps / apks, does this update partition the storage wrongly? Everything is really slow ....

I think I have not enough clue about android, only standard linux... help is highly appreciated, until then I keep posting my findings here, if there are any more...
[Defy General] bluesock:
Ok I got it sorted now :) I actually still had a recovery, I somehow failed to press <Volume Down> at the right moment when the LED lights up in blue. Now I just cleared /system entirely, formatted /cache and /data new and installed again, this time with minimal gapps, now /system is only 80% occupied and not (over-)full.

Now I just need to figure out how to patch openpdroid. Patching fails for com/android/server/ServerThread.smali where there are also no pre-patched files supplied.

Anyone successful with openpdroid yet?

MB525 green lens on 05.27 having battery issues

I'm using now cm-10-20130527-NIGHTLY-mb526 on my MB525 green lens. Since when I changed my original battery to a 1950mAh BF5X it wouldn't charge to 100%. Usually it stops at around 45-50% once it was 60% and the voltage is around 4.2V.

I couldn't find the battery stat reset option in the boot menu (I found it in some other builds but that wasn't helpful either) so I downloaded an app called BatteryCalibration which deleted the battery stats but made no difference at all. Did some charging cycles but still it won't get to 100%.

Any ideas? Should I throw my new battery away?
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
You could try to reinstall the ROM or try this calibration method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11800533

Good luck

[Defy General] Skel91:
Didn't work :(

After doing http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10 it now shows 5% @ 4.2V

When I'm checking Settings>Battery>History details the graph shows my past charges and discharges despite I erased batterystats.bin multiple times. Shouldn't the graph be empty or something?
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Yes, you are right, your batt stats/history should be gone?

Doing the above method should have allowed you to get past any limits set by the old battery?

A full battery should be about 4200mV or approx 4.2V so why is your battery reporting that before it is actually full?

You could try a reinstall or a different battery, what brand? where did you buy? Any warranty? Special instructions in packaging?

Good luck

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] Skel91:
It's a Chinese made aftermarket battery, not sure which one is the brand on it :) It's fully compatible with the BF5X battery slot, the only difference (as it says) that this one is around 2000mAh instead of the original 1500mAh. I bought it from e-bay so there's chance of the actual battery hardware failure. The only thing why I don't think it is, because I really can't erase the battery stats (the history's never gone).

My friend's got a MB525 red lens but unfortunately his battery is also gone so he ordered a new one (most likely different than mine) maybe I can try it with that one.

Also my old Motorola BF5X stock battery lost its capacity (after like 2 years) and it has sort of expanded like when it gets high voltage or overcharged. I don't know whether it's normal or not but there's a slight chance that it also broke my battery cover housing. Maybe it has some serious hardware issues but most likely it looks like software problem.

I'm going to reinstall soon but now I need my phone, I'm waiting for calls. As soon as I've done it I let you know.

Thanks!
[Defy General] bluesock:
I would highly doubt the 2000mAh, except if you maybe paid more than $40. I would then still doubt it. I think that Li-Ion technology isn't as far as to be able to package 2000mAh in such a small size at all!
[Defy General] hb9slm:
still open is the question how to resolve the problem of carging to take the higher voltage of the HF5x into account (4.3 instead of 4.2 volt)
[Defy General] bluesock:
No Idea if that can be fixed, I also had some aftermarket battery that I couldn't get to calibrate. I would say this is maybe specific to the Defy but not specific to this ROM ..

// edit: removed stuff here, moved to correct thread (Quarx's CM10 problems reporting thread)

//edit: To the battery being a 4.3 / 4.35V Li-Ion cell: It could be possible that the battery controller hardware of the Defy isn't capable of being either reconfigured to supply 4.3V (which might be required to be done, and maybe not possible from the main CPU) or being able to provide 4.3V at all.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Thank you for moving ;)

And reply of course

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] hb9slm:
sorry to comment here again, but I didnt find it in Quarx's CM10 problems reporting thread,

well the hardware should be able to provide that voltage, as all defy plus models are comming with an HF5X battery which has an end voltage of 4.3V and even a 2.3.6 stock rom charge the battery up to that voltage (4.308V in my case)

i even see in CM10 source both voltages, but i didnt get any idea where the battery type is detected.
[Defy General] s_u_n:
I am at the moment running on the latest nightly (dated 16 June). After November, all the nightlies that I have installed show considerable lag.

If I enable 3g when I am outdoors, the phone becomes hot and almost starts working at 1/10th the normal speed.

I have always wiped cache/ dalvik cache, installed zip and then wiped cache again during upgrade.

I don't mind losing all my data if there is something else that I can try before reverting back to 2.3.x permanently.

The phone is simply unusable with 3g enabled.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
It has been said so many times before, but here we go again...

You need to be on the correct baseband & do a clean install before saying there is a problem with the ROM

Hey guys, first of all, thanks for the wonderful job of the developers :)

I just flashed the latest version of CM 10 in my wife's phone, with a full data/cache/dalvik wipe, and it's very stable and fast. The only point is that I couldn't find the camera app :(

Did I do something wrong, or that's a bug?

BTW, I installed an alternative app, and the camera is working fine, but I would like the android's one.

Thanks again for all the hard and good work.
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Strange, you appear to be the first to get this issue, try flashing again, I'd just clean cache/dalvik & flash over the top then clean again

Fingers crossed

First of all a big thanks to the developers.

I just updated my CM10 installation on my Defy to the July, 3rd build. I had a version from November before that caused a very short battery duration. I used the way described in the FAQ without factory reset.

Now this problem is solved and CM10 runs very smoothly but I have a small issue now. I have to re-enter my PIN very often but have no idea when this happens.

Any ideas?

Hi guys

I have flashed the latest Quark CM10 ON 2ndInt and am having problems sending sms. I am on Orange/EE in the UK and have set the smsc to 0791449737019037 as suggested by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31572208 but I am still getting Error code: -1 whenever I try and send an sms.

I have green lens Defy running Cm: 10-20130709-NIGHTLY-MB526

The model number in About Phone is MB526, which is down to an SBF I had to flash when I messed up and upgraded to BL7. Can I fix this problem inside CM10 or do I need another SBF? In which case can anyone offer any advice as to which one as as far as I can tell I can't use a retail British SBF because of BL7. Everything else on the phone seems to work fine.

I following flashing instructions from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 and flashed 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF then installed 2ndInt and CM10. When I flashed 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN I tried sending an SMS and it did reach the recipient no problem.

Update: I just did a few tests and I can receive sms and send mms. I tried switching the baseband from Europe > Central Europe > 3.4.x to Europe > Great Britain > 3.4.3-11 (both 900/2100 MHz) but I still have the same issue.

Thanks in advance!

swype

hey can anyone help me here,,, I want to use swype keyboard with this CM 10 version :(
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
? Go to play store and buy it

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] bharathexe:
IMO, using swype with CM10 is not a good idea.

I have been using swype in CM10 in my green lens defy for long time, before it was introduced in play store. If I select any input box, it takes around 3 to 5 seconds for the keyboard to appear. Now I have installed android 4.2 stock google keyboard from here. This keyboard appears instantaneously and it also has the swipe gesture for typing text.

Try and see if u like it :)
[Defy General] frozenwaverider:
Really? Unlucky you, I too have been using it from beta for a long, then upgraded from play store when it was available

The maximum I've ever waited would be 2 seconds but usually it's very quick

Did you hibernate it with greenify perhaps?

Also I remove the Google keyboard & dictionary so they don't cause any conflict

Either way both are good, I find the voice to text in swipe very handy & far more accurate than Google's voice recognition

MB525 Red lense
[Defy General] bharathexe:
No, I did not hibernate swype. Also I didn't remove google keyboard & dictionary(don't know if it makes any difference). But I disabled android keyboard in Language & Input settings. I never use voice to text function for typing, so i cannot comment on that. But swype keyboard has rich set of functionality that Google Keyboard does not offer. But in my case, I'm happy to sacrifice certain features of swype for its slowness in launching.

Maybe the no of apps installed and the free ram may have an effect on it. How much free RAM do u hv normally and how many apps are installed in ur defy?

so again start with rsd and sbf

now my phone reboot and hangs up and reboot and so on i dont come back to froyo
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
You must enter in custom recovery not stock recovery. Vol - on blue led.

And never install 2ndinit app on custom Rom. Now you must start all over again.

I found out that the problem was that i was running out of space during the installation process. the solution is to cut down the installation file size by deleting the ringtones, notifications, some app etc from the zip before installing it. for this purpose, this is a very useful guide to follow:

Probs with gapps

Hey,

I hope I am not totaly wrong with my question here.

I have problems with the gapps.

So far I..:

- installed SBF with RDS 5.6 Lite

- rooted my phone with Superoneclick

- I installed cm-10-20130709-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip (pretty sure I got a redlense) <-everything fine so far

All in all I followed the instructions of this guide (Sry, iam not allowed to use links yet, if u want to see it i can send u the link per pm) and informations and data I found on this forum. But I thought while first installing the the CM the gapps were included in the CM.zip so I needed to install them afterwards. But Iam not 100% sure if I did that right or whether I got the right gappsversion or not.

Thats how I tried to install the gapps :

- coppied gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip on the sd -> Boot Menu -> Recovery -> Team Win Recovery (Motorola Stock Recovery didnt work)-> Wipe -> Adnvadced wipe-> I selected Dalvik Cache/Cache/Data-> wiped->Install-> selected the data from the sd-> Wiped Dalvik Cache again-> Rebooted.

-> didnt work f.e. "Google play store unfortuniatly has stopped"

same with second try different download: (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip)

So if someone could tell me what ive done wrong so far, or which data i should download to get gapps fitting with my CM Version. That'll be great ;)

After rooting do a full wipe (don't reboot) with Defy full wiper. Then flash desired CM10 ROM with minimal gapps.
[Defy General] A van Tight:
Thank you for the quick response. I'll try that after my phone charged. Do I need to root my Defy again? Do I need an extra programm for the wipe. "with Defy full wiper" or is this 1 or more Options in the Bootmenu?
[Defy General] hotdog125:
If you've rooted and can use your phone normally then you do not need to root again. Full wiper zip has to be flashed through custom recovery.

I did what you asked me to do now I have the Problem that the Android-Keyboard (AOSP) doesnt work anymore. I cant open the browser and the homebutton don't work (I think I had these two Problems in last time aswell). I dont understand why CM runs so unstable on my smartphone :(
[Defy General] hotdog125:
Always flash minimal gapps. Those problems are symptoms of the system becoming full during installation. Search for TJKV minimal gapps in google and download from the xda thread (thanks to TJKV).

In the meanwhile I tried a different CM+ minimal gapps combo (I did flash both). The keyboard is working again. Still have the problems, that the browser just pops up for like half a second, the homebotton only vibrates and the Play Store cant connect to the internet.

Do you still recommand me to try the "TJKV minimal gapps" or was this mainly to fix the keyboard issue?
[Defy General] hotdog125:
Full wipe and flash again. Make sure it's the correct gapps. I had the same problem i while back, i fixed it by using TJKV's gapps (it is lesser than 20MB BTW).

Yay it worked. Everything runs well so far. Thank you very much for your help!
