[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
good point.

Sorry, didn't even see your thread. Quite honestly, I've only been playing with PA for the last couple of weeks and have posted in rajesh.sharma87 thread as well as the rom porter thread, but nobody over there seems to want to read.

Have you looked at the logs from the devices that loop? Send me one if you have an example. I've tried lots of different combinations in conjunction with the framework-res mods before I got this to boot, but have not had any problems with this version. Interesting...
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
well paranoid jb(gb kernel) no boot for me at all...

havent tried urs m on gb kernel...

i dont have logs m on cm10

i m thinking of setting up git for paranoid... but my internet...:mad::(:thumbdown:
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
If you're on Defy red lens, I'd be curious to have you try this rom. I'm starting to think it may be a difference in the hardware.

I'm on BL6 (flashed GB when first leaked), but have been going back and forth between GB and Froyo kernel roms and found Epsy's to be most stable for my device (which is why I used his as the base).
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
How can you be on BL7 and still be able to switch to Froyo kernel?
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
My bad - it's BL6.

And for those that don't know, there was a leaked Froyo SBF with BL7 (see here).
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
no the kernel has difference...

gb kernel has many missing libs!
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Hi dew.man, if u want to continue this, I will close my thread as u know there's no need of having multiple threads for the same work. The intention of the guide and the tool was to let everyone port and use and not polluting the developement thread by posting so many threads. I hope u get my point. If u really wish to take this up I am there with u and will provide u as much help as I can but at the same time we need to respect xda.

Opinion of other users are also welcome so that we can keep the developement thread clean. I've already closed 2 of my threads for the same reason. LewaOS and AOKP JB.
[Defy Android Development] o-liver:
cant acquire logcat, its waiting for the device :/
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
dude goto bootmenu-boot-adb enable

press 2nd-init

and logcat...
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
First and foremost, thanks for all your help ;)

Perhaps I was not clear enough, but I do not have the free time to take on any kind of support role. Please understand that my sole intention of this thread, was to provide/share a more recent version of PA/CM10 that I have been unable to obtain from anybody else. No offense intended, but I did ask you on several occasions to post a more recent version than the 1.95 you have in your (still existent) thread, and the only response I received was that you didn't have the bandwidth.

I also tried to work through/with kadevil's thread, but he pretty much ignored all the feedback he was getting about the tool not working for PA and JB.

Again, I was looking for a more recent version of PA (1.97+) with a more recent CM10 (8/06+) and was unable to find a working version. I built one that works for me, and wanted to share with anybody else that may be in a similar position...
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Well guys i feel that the thread should be merged to brajesh's thread... since his thread has more organized 1st post...

no offence to op but thats wat i felt when i saw it...

peace

-hackergnome
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
I'm perfectly fine with that as long as the op/title gets updated with the new version number :)
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
well that wont be a problem? right brajesh?

i din take ur perms sry... so i ask u is it ok for u?

if yes i report it to be merged...
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Well, I didn't want to spoil your thread and said what I thought was necessary. Rest is your decision. I am out of here. :D

And yes, people might feel offended specially when you take help from them, not give any credit and blame them instead. I'm talking about kadavil's tool atleast.

Carry on with your work and good luck. :)

Thanks for taking interest mate but I will prefer thing going the way it is. I am planning to release an stable ICS PA 1.5 and maybe a recent PA 1.99 (I already have PA 1.98 running in my mobile) and then I will be releasing weekly updates as long as the porting is possible. Atleast you know, I dont have enough time to release builds based on every nightly.
[Defy Android Development] mosta00:
its work fine for me (red lens, here)

-i install this over 4.1.1 quarx 12-08-12 without data.

-i install froyo kernel first and then, the rom.

-i wipe cache and dalvik cache

-and reboot ..

for the first look.. im lost the advance bright screen control...
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
your thread about porting and tip about the framework was helpful, and i thanked you in those threads. kadevil's thread did nothing for me (and I still thanked him there).

enough said. not going to get ina pissing match - just wanted to share something iknow others were notable to get elsewhere..
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
Why did you say I ignored feedback? :(

I tried to help you as much as I could. I acknowledged that it didnt boot using PA and JB but what can I do about it? Its ports ICS PA very well but you haven't seen that. I dont have any knowledge on porting. Just made an automated version of brajesh.sharma's guide using little bit of coding.

You requested for testing my V5 tool and you never reported back until I kept asking in my thread. The tool requires team effort. Brajesh.sharma helped me a lot in the porting field. He had porting knowledge and I had some coding knowledge so we worked together. If my tool had bugs within itself I fix it when users report it. I have got several PMs reporting bugs in my tool and I have replied to all of them and even fixed those bugs and kept updating the tool each time. I haven't ignored even a single PM.

I dont want credits when you make ROM using my tool. I haven't asked for it on my thread either.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Lets end it here, everyone has his own frame of mind. Let people be free and do them whatever they like. You did a great job, and you can blame me that I was not available last week to help you in getting rid of the problems that you faced in your later versions.
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
plz dont turn this into a battle plz!!!
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
I dont want to fight :(

But telling I ignored feedback isnt true :(
[Defy Android Development] jurgen99:
Guys the rom not booting :(

It's show the bootanimation for ever

I wipe data/cache and dalvik for eliminate the Quarx rom

Installed the rom and gapps

wipe data/cache and dalvik and reboot

I have installed the froyo kernel

I have defy green lense

please help me
[Defy Android Development] staticx1:
I wiped data, cache, dalvik.

Installed froyo kernel, PA, gapps

Reboot

Stuck on never-ending boot logo

Please advise
[Defy Android Development] abhifx:
what is going on in this thread? i was hoping for a ROM discussion thread
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
The first advise wud be to get a logcat and post here. :D

I really dont understand why some people get bootloop and others dont. Only the logcat can let us know what actually is happening.

The 2nd suggestion is to fix permission via custom recover.
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
try w/o gapps and dont flAsh kernel again

logcat needed
[Defy Android Development] idoavni99:
i got bootloops on red lens defy please help!!!
[Defy Android Development] saltofx_v:
rom works fine for me..very fast and smooth..thanks for sharing!
[Defy Android Development] t0n0n:
How do I get the adbd server running before the phone boots?? I'm trying to get the output with Eclipse, but it doesn't show anything. Or does the adbds start after a while and the ROM isn't even getting to that??
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
from terminal on linux or command line windows you must have adb setup first on your computer

type adb logcat

then plug in your phone into pc

and turn it on ....
[Defy Android Development] t0n0n:
IDK why but I can't log during boot, adb starts logging only after the phone is completely booted up. There's something I have to change at bootmenu, ROM or adb??
[Defy Android Development] fabrquila:
Upload it to MediaFire and dev-host if you can.
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Ypu need to have adb setup on your computer first for this to work.....

i have used it before

make sure phone is off

type adb logcat like i said before then

plug in your defy via usb then switch it on...
[Defy Android Development] t0n0n:
I'm doing it, tried even with CM10, my CNA port(The other ROM I need to debug).

My ADB setup is normal, I need it to develop apps. After booting up adb logcat gets on fire, but nothing before it D:
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Or like quarx said, use quick system info...

[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
really bro?

we need logs b4 system boots!

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

don't we need to enable adb from bootmenu?
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
hahahaha yh that's it I completely forgot about that.... I hadn't had a defy for so long now

completely forgot.....
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
its ok...

saving for another phone?
[Defy Android Development] idoavni99:
Try Dev host.it's much better and faster than dropbox. or try mediafire.
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
couple updates

First of all, I want to thank those of you that have jumped in here to try and help - much appreciated!

Moving right along, I was playing with the framework last night and stumbled on to something that may help with the bootlooping issue.

I've slightly revised the rom and have uploaded it to mediafire (OP updated) for anybody that wants to try it again.

Also, I cannot stress enough how important it is to wipe cache AND dalvik before trying to boot. Failure to do so WILL result in a bootloop.

Looking forward to more feedback...
[Defy Android Development] ro_explorer:
MB525 - SoC (green I think): The rom is running smooth apparently (I only have it for couple of hours so this is just a first look).

What is not working - autobrightness apparently is setting my brightness to 100% always. It will simply ignore the light in the ambient.

Also, the autobrightness advanced controls are gone.
[Defy Android Development] jurgen99:
UPDATE 3:WORK ON DEFY GREEN LENSE

Wipe data,cache and dalvik cake

Install rom,gapps

WIPE cache and dalvik

and reboot :)

all is working
[Defy Android Development] ro_explorer:
Autobrighness ?

Compass ?

Proximity sensor ?

Hardware decoders ?
[Defy Android Development] jurgen99:
Autobrightness yes

compass:no because is based on 12/08 quarx

Prox.sensor:yes

Hardware acc.=yes
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
button backlight working? coz I am not able to make it work 1.96 onwards even after changing the values. If yes, dew.man will you mind sharing how?
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
Yes. I will send you a PM with the details when I get back to my dev box. For now, off the top of my head, search for "brightness" in arrays.xml
[Defy Android Development] ro_explorer:
Proximity sensor is always working OK or it missfires time to time ? (like having to use the patch to wake up the screen after the call).

The last question was for Hardware decoders not acceleration.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
If you are talking about this

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">
<item>32</item>
<item>48</item>
<item>96</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
</integer-array>

then, I should mention this is the first fix I ever done when I first got PA to boot on defy. :p and I can still make it to work on ICS version.

The prolbem is as I said earlier, even after changing these values, I am not being able to make it work. There must be some silly thing which I maybe ignoring. Lets see if I can dig deeper this weekend. ;)
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
Have you tried reducing the number of "slots" to be the same as in the source CM10 rom (I don't remember if it was 4 or 5)? Also, make sure that the entries there correspond/are synchronized with the rest of the brightness settings by slot.
[Defy Android Development] staticx1:
With update 3 it's working again.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
After using the rom for a few days myself, it's been very stable/usable for me. Obviously not as smooth as a Galaxy Nexus, but definitely usable. With the exception of the GPS issue (can't lock) everything else has been working for me - bluetooth, usb sharing, auto brightness, hw acc, etc.

I've update the OP with a slightly newer version that includes some brightness level tweaks and a variation of the framework that should boot for both red and green lens defy's.

I've also added a poll to try and see if anybody besides me is actually using this. If I get feedback and people are actually using it, I'll try to make some more time to further tweak it. If not, then I'll just move on :p

And again, thank to those of you that have come on here to help others that've been having trouble. Your efforts and wealth of knowledge are what make XDA such a great community...
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
meh...

pa 1.99 to defy plus=fail :(:o

tomorrow i check the logs...
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
Not sure I follow - this is my port of 1.97 as I had issues with 1.98/1.99 on my GN so I decided to stick with 1.97 for the Defy as well.

Are you referring to a different rom perhaps?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vijay2:
lg 4x hd,s camera is worst......like 3megapixel......am worried about my phone....i love to shoot the photos on phone..but worst camera....whats the solution
[LG Optimus 4X HD] theofficialpimp:
My phone takes great photos . There def something wrong with your 4x..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ksekhar:
Only problem with camera is shooting video in semi lit room as videos gets really dark. Other than that it has really good camera.
[HTC Rezound] herothekid:
It's hard to suggest anything at this point - it appears you've done everything possible. I also can't believe you've gone through sixteen refurbs! I've been using smartphones for a while now - some amazing and some not so amazing - but the Rezound has so far been my most reliable one. So I find it hard you've had so many issues with so many different phones. Is your house built on an Indian burial ground?

What I guess I will say, is if I were you I would definitely send it to them to get repaired as opposed to them just sending you another refurb. It sounds like you haven't really had a dedicated line of communication anyway with all the issues you've had, so just go ahead and bit the bullet and send it off.

Once they get it, "repair" it, and you get it back - if you have ANY more issues I would suggest you, not necessarily get angry, but get stern and let them know your frustrations and I personally would demand a newer model at no cost to you. With as many problems as you've had, and documented troubles of yours that they have on their end, you have every right. And if they still push back, go to the FCC. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And let them know you are going to get the FCC involved. Before I was a network engineer, I was a lowly Tech Support Rep and whenever a customer mentioned FCC to us we immediately had to escalate the situation.

Whatever happens, sorry about your frustrations and hope everything works out for you.
[HTC Rezound] papaavi:
You have had amazing patience and a profound amount of bad luck. I feel your pain. 4 thunderbolts for me. Now on the rezound refurb. Only issue I noticed so far is the little plastic frame surrounding the charge port is loose when the back case is not on. I hope that's all that's loose!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I didn't read a lot of your post cuz I have a migraine but dang that's a lot of phones to go through. If I had that many problems with anything I'd probably switch carriers or make them give me a new phone. It would be kind of funny if they have been sending you like the same phones over and over again. You could possibly request one from a different area but im not sure if they stock refurbs in different areas... Also have you been checking the revision numbers?

I also think its bs how grown people play the blame game with other companies. I'm sure someone is cutting corners somewhere to save or make more money and it really is pathetic that a multi billion or trillion dollar corporation can't fix an issue. 16 phones? Good lord lol. Best of luck, seriously that's a little ridiculous to have to deal with. I'm sure it's already cost you a lot of time/money dealing with all of that bs.
[HTC Rezound] Morpheus991:
Welcome to the business model of our world nowadays. It's awful, everyone points the finger at someone else... Things used to be different. One thing that stuck with me was when I had a boss that said (paraphrased): "In companies employees towards the bottom of the chain are paid to say 'no' and the ones towards the top are paid to say 'yes'." I guess this ended up being more of a sympathetic rant. I'm still learning the benefits of assertion (the squeaky wheel gets the grease!). Good luck, give'em hell!

tl;dr companies suck now.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Wow.. Someone that has gone for more refubs than I have.. But yeah I went through like 8 T-bolts and 6 Rezounds for pretty much the same issue you had. That + physical damage on the screen like big ass scratches. Plus the screen was popping out on the T-bolt too.. Pretty sad quality control and "100 point inspection" my ass. You could try getting another refurb and selling it for a gs3. Or you can keep calling and try to get one of the sups to give you an upgrade. But if you do have unlimited data you can kiss it goodbye if they give you a subsidized upgrade. Your best bet would be to keep contacting Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] tynman11:
Thanks for all the responses.

I'm a bit leary of going the repair route with PCD because I'd be without a phone for who knows how long plus I don't think they'll do it right based on the number of phones I've been through that they've supposedly repaired. I guess it would show that I tried all possible options though... Maybe Verizon would give me a credit on my bill for the amount of time I'd be without a phone! The FCC route might be worth a try.

I had actually asked Verizon about this and, from their perspective, all of them come from PCD. I suppose I could see if PCD could work this for me, but when I had contacted them I was told that I'd have to go back to Verizon. I didn't specifically ask if they could do this though so maybe it's worth a shot.

I haven't been fully documenting the revision numbers, but the ones I've checked have either ended with 00 or XA.

It's cost me time (and just a bit of frustration) more than anything else, but I'm sure that, while Verizon may not pay for the refurbs, they pay for the overnight shipping.
[HTC Rezound] scottthreet32:
And I thought I had it bad,here I go again bringing up for $7.00 priceless dollars a month always get the extended warranty by now they might have worked you in a different phone with the long list of phone foo going on.

I'm on my 4th tbolt ,wife 2nd between 4g dropping off and loose charge ports,sim card changes network trouble tickets and proving out phone is a p.o.s. I'm slowing trying to work us into a different phone for $0.

Which is a major p.I.t.a. takes time

GOOD LUCK sounds like u are in for a fight once remans are out of stock they start pulling from new stock, which who knows how long that will take

Once I called and told them before I had phone just send me another one ,because I found a flaw in the device they could not fix, in the owners it stated it could do something which it did not that something was back in 2003 I ended up getting a different device

So find a flaw and work it to your advantage

My -2 cents
[HTC Rezound] tynman11:
I've been through 10 refurbs myself and am about to go with #11 because the one I have now has light leak on the bottom half of the screen. Below is a pic of what I'm seeing. Maybe I should just deal with this issue as it's the only thing wrong with it, but because of all that I've been through I've become very picky.

My wife is about to get #7 and she's been through 4 refurbs in 4 consecutive days!

8/9 - Called Verizon tech support to report static to Verizon during phone calls; after troubleshooting they admitted that it's most likely a bad speaker so they sent us a refurb.

8/10 - Refurb received, but had bad LED; the search LED was noticeably dimmer than the others. Verizon contacted and another refurb shipped.

8/13 - Refurb received, but phone got noticeably hot and continually rebooted. Verizon contacted and another refurb shipped.

8/14 - Refurb received, but had light leakage similar to the pic below. Verizon contacted and another refurb shipped.

8/15 - Hoping this one is a good one, but not holding my breath...

So that's a total of 16 and counting!!
[HTC Rezound] tynman11:
Are you referring to the Asurion insurance coverage? If so, I have that on my line, but not my wife's. My understanding though is that you have to pay $100 in order to actually use it and I don't feel that I should have to pay that while I'm still in the standard warranty window and the fact that it's not my fault that they're sending me junk devices.
[HTC Rezound] herothekid:
I had no idea so many of you have had to go through so many refurbs. After reading this thread, I feel very lucky, hah.
[HTC Rezound] scottthreet32:
OK if you have tec/ tep it extends your one year warranty until you get another phone.asurion only comes into play if you drown,murder,scratch,Rom lock it (hard brick it).

Under manufacture's warranty which Verizon just plays switch'um for u so you still have a device so your stuck unless u can show a track record of junk devices

Verizon changes the rules daily

It used to be after 3 like devices they would switch u out to a different device for no $$

I sent this to Verizon

NBR:000005506433

Recently got replacement phones for 0190 thunderbolt still drops 4g no 3g or 1x showing its all or nothing.

8190 doing samething as above

0190 x 4 phones

8190 x 2 phones

No non Google apps installed

3+ hours setting phones up to user liking timeless

Keep getting defective phones priceless

what are my next steps as in getting a phone that works
[HTC Rezound] tynman11:
Thanks for the clarification. I have TEC/Asurion on my line so it looks like I'm good past the 1 year. My wife's line on the otherhand doesn't have it so after November of this year we'll be out of luck.

Regarding the number of replacements, I was told by Verizon that the rule use to be 3, but, because of the rising prices of smartphones, that rule has been removed. So I guess I could go through 30 of these and nothing would be done so I asked if there was a new limit and was told there is no limit.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The light leakage thing you have is pretty common, I have had it on a couple of my Rezounds before I got my Nexus, I wouldn't return it unless it has something else wrong with it
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
That.......... Really.............. Sucks.
[HTC Rezound] scottthreet32:
My kids rezound was killing the extended battery in 4g and charge port was loose

Got a replacement so far so good

Have Verizon pull from diff location next time
[HTC Rezound] chaos254:
I just received my second refurb and the proximity sensor doesn't work on this one either. This is driving me crazy. :banghead:
[HTC Rezound] scottthreet32:
Call and inform,have reorder
