Kiss that light goodbye! :D

It happens on a lot of defys. Mine too!! My search button, back button and menu button went out one by one.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
Before that just re-check once. Go to settings - advanced and click button back light, If all 4 buttons lit up by doing this then u r safe. Otherwise flash a different rom to check it once.

Bdw, dont blame any individual ROM if any of your button back light gets dead, blame motorola instead. ;)
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
I'm not blaming ROM. :p

On any ROM its like this for me. Even stock! :banghead:
[Defy Android Development] kvikram:
Possible to disable the onscreen softkeys? It just doesn't make sense to have them when you already have the capacitive buttons.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
that message was for sebx_g1 :p

I quoted ur post for additional info. :D

There is option to disable onscreen keys as well as you can disable the capatitive buttons too. I think its there in settings - system or maybe display. Someone else can confirm this.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
Yes in Display options :cowboy:

My menu button backlight is not dead totaly it is 1/20 of others button have - just tested - so maybe it is hardware failure ... hmmm I must check if I have warranty .
[Defy Android Development] venkatp:
Yes you can. Just uncheck the option "navigation bar" in Settings> System> Navigation bar.

There is also the same option in display settings but that ain't working in this build.

I don't blame rom actually this one is a candidate to stay on my defy longer than 3-4 days which is unusual :laugh:

I added some pics from cpu / batt usage in my previous post .
[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
I've been trying the 07/09 ROM for the last 24hs and its working great! Thank you very much.

I do have a strange behavior...my status bar dissapeared! It's like is "outside" the visible screen. I'm currently in Tablet UI mode, Trebuchet on default option (360px & 240dpi). I've dissabled a few apps in HWA. I'm also experiencing the same problem on some other apps, like the brower, whereas I cannot see the address bar (and therefore can't type!). I've tried switching modes (Phablet UI, wiping cache & dalvik), reboots, expanded desktop, configuration settings and nothing so far. Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] oSandmaNo:
Its dead. The dim light is coming from the other buttons.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Lower your dpi to 160 on tablet mode. I'm using Phablet mode and all apps at 160. I also use Holo Launcher and it scales better than Trebuchet.

Tablets run on a much larger screen with less dpi. So as you increase the layout px you have to decrease the dpi. Changing status bar and system apps to 160 and lower helped me a lot with Phablet mode.

On tablet you may need to lower dpi to 120 to make it fit the small Defy screen. I run tablet market and had to do that.

I also bought SwiftKey 3 last night and it's predictive text is awesome.
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Ot....swift key remembered too many words fr me. A few days/ a week later , it was repeating my lines A LOT. So that's why back on stock keyboard.:(
[Defy Android Development] J_M_V_S:
Thanks for your quick reply. I've switched to Phablet mode. Now I can see the status bar ONLY on the lockscreen, it then hides away (the laucher makes an animation when hiding). I don't know if makes a difference but "auto-hide" is off. I should also mention that I didn't had this problem before. The only thing I can think of is that I installed Nova Launcher & Cobalt CM9/CM10 Theme to tried them out. I uninstalled Nova Launcher (which does the same thing and the status bar remains hidden) and the standard system theme is currently active. :confused: Driving myself crazy here...

[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:

[Defy Android Development] premaca:
Nope. It runs on any launcher. Just scan to the end on the earlier web link you will find the play store link. Its called Rings Digital Weather Clock. I'm using it on default trebuchet PA2.0 cm10 version.

If you don't see the widget on widget drawer in ICS or JB after you install you may restart phone once. Enjoy.

[Defy Android Development] aLeda:
thanks, love you <3
[Defy Android Development] aLeda:
Yooooooo

is it normal that PA is much smoother and faster than Quarx' CM10 ?

Or it's because it's a clean install ? (wipe data)

It realy make the phone faster to oc it to 1.2ghz ? (defy+)

What's the best I/O scheduler please ?

Do you think boostedassv2 is the best for defy+ ?

Thanks

PS: skeevy I don't remember if I already said you, but after flashing your governors for defy+, can't change the I/O scheduler using the CM10 menu :/
[Defy Android Development] nziria:
sio and noop are the best,i thing sio is best for games

@skeevy420:

can you post in the first page, v6 supercharger (if it work on JB) and kickasskernelizer ?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
It may be faster by placebo, or just luck of the draw on what updates we used depending on compile time. I also use heavily tweaked sio and governor configurations and that may be a factor (mine should scan the drives faster due to the tweaked sio)

The Governors aren't needed on CM9 and 10 -- they're build in. My PA goes one step farther and uses the Pack's sio script's values instead of the values Epsylon3 set for sio in the script -- they're wrong and the values he added in are for cfs.... Remove the script from the gov pack and you'll be good to go.

I like boosted and smartassv2. BTW, on MY PA roms, selecting smartass from the bootmenu is smartassv2. They use the exact same configuration values so all I had to do was rename v2 to smartass and it works just fine.

The io schedulers go sio>noop>cfs. Sio and Noop are designed for flash memory where cfs is designed for pc hard disk drives. Cfs is the linux default scheduler. Normally I'd say SIO if it were CM7, but with the limited ram on CM10 noop may be better. Just set the scheduler option in the bootmenu to 0 and it'll load noop. Normally 0 would be cfs, but I changed it.

Haven't used them yet on PA. I'm only running it as I released it so I know any bugs are from the rom and not any mod I may have done.
[Defy Android Development] daede86:
your rom is GREAT!!!

i can't find neither a minor bug!! i love it! gps locks in less than 30 secs.. amazing! i don't really care about paranoid setting (i'm not using hybrid mode), but the rom is the first jb rom bug free i've tried! and also battery is really really good!

i don't know if it's an impression but i think jiui jb is a bit smoother, but still you did a great work!

thanks
[Defy Android Development] venkatp:
Thanks a lot mate. That worked like a spell from Harry potter magic wand. Now my camera is charming :) :cool:
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
It ain't placebo. :) For reasons unknown I'm getting ~200mb free RAM on PA2.1 and ~130mb on the latest CM10. Exactly the same set-up (no V6, hwa disabled for non-gui apps, purging of assets allowed, forced gpu rendering and no background process limit). The result of better RAM management is faster loading off apps and smoother multitasking. Great stuff ;)

And I definitely like that you've gone further with tweaking and improving, other than just making PA!

Since you are a kanger... Could you please add silent volume changing? And any other cherries, be them useful or tweaks :laugh: We here like kangs! :cyclops:
[Defy Android Development] @non4:
Why are apps taking forever to start up? I have same free ram as quarx's ROMs but apps start up really slow and often have not responding messages, I have 1.2ghz, sysctl 9086 minfree, 16 bit transparency blah blah done every tweak I can think of but still this horrible lag! Love the ROM otherwise

Sent from Iron man's Jellybean powered suit
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I can. I've just been trying to keep it as close to the PA Teams' releases as possible, but yeah, even I want silent volume changing.

I started using V6\KaK\3gTurbo last night and I've been getting good results with them. I'll probably end up releasing PA with v6 built in since it requires decompiling services.jar and patching it. I need to pull a diff on all the files it changes and incorporate that into the sources and find the source changes need so that services.jar doesn't need to be smali patched. After I installed the V6 trifecta, the only app I have real issues with is Chrome which is super slow. I like Chrome because it syncs my bookmarks between the desktop\browser (I use Chromiuim on my Linux Box) and that's just convenient. I'm wondering if running Chrome at 360px with full dpi will make it run better because 600px and 160 dpi, like everything else on my PA desktop, really lags it up.

I found a new "bug" last night -- and the fix for it. When the layout and dpi is set different than default I couldn't change themes and was getting a "This theme wasn't packed correctly" error. Changing back to stock dpi and layout allowed me to change themes and the theme persisted and stuck after changing back to my PA settings and rebooting.

So if you use PA for all its worth, to change themes you have to:

back up your PA settings

set workspace to phone and all dpi's to 240

reboot

set theme

restore PA settings

reboot & dalvik\cache wipe

have themed PA

I'm using the theme ThyrusHolo Black and the inverted gapps it links to. I'm also using all their inverted apps on /devs/BAKED/ to get the full inverted look :p. They require you to remove some system apps in order to use them. Gallery and Gapps are both flashable zips -- you can set GooManager to flash both zips and wipe dalvik/cache so take advantage of that.

For quick inverted gapps\gallery2

open GooManagernavigate

tap Browse All Files

navigate to /devs/BAKED/gapps

use the latest JB gapps package for gapps, gallery zip for gallery (obviously)
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
You could maybe put up a vote to see if people agree with going that way (more cherries and tweaks (i.e. V6)) or you could make different versions - the standard PA and your PA kang (this would be a pita, though :D ))

Thanks for the skins tip and the Thyrus skin, it's great! Looking forward to some more news :cyclops:

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Don't know about green lens, but it's absolutely great on my DEFY+! Smartass(v2)+sio. Better than CM10 which was better than AOKP JB. (based on my experience only)

P.S. It's kinda weird having the 100 volume steps mod for the first time :D Like it, though :) One more nice thing skeevy implemented. :good:
[Defy Android Development] daede86:
and wifi tethering is working :)))

great work, really!! still using boosted and i'm satisfied, maybe from tomorrow i'll try smartass!

Could I really be the only one with battery charging problems on PA 2.10 using red lens defy with defy+ build?

Please refer to my previous post for details about my problem if you're interested http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31362538&postcount=77

Can anyone using PA 2.10 defy+ build on regular red lens defy confirm that battery is working charging/not displaying ! on percentage? after rebooting their phone (It works perfect until I reboot)

PS: battery fix does nothing to help

For me was working how it should be whitout any fix.

I suspected it must just be me because it seems working for everyone else!! weird!

and you are using defy+ buld on red lens defy?

for me it worked too perfectly, until I reboot my phone then it doesn't charge and displays 1% or !

A data wipe fixes the problem but then once I reboot its back to 1%/! and won't charge

And for speed tweaking maybe (reverse engieenering) this rom could be usefull

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1882737

I'm using it now and it is fast as hell never seen such fast JB ROM ,but also eats a lot of battery :crying: . So the best combination is PA21 features and battery life + this Cannon rom speed . :p

Am I dreaming ?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Try not using 16 bit transparency, disable all gpu options in Developer Options. Whlie they can make it run smoother, it doesn't help when you're running w\o a status bar. After running with the stock settings again (changed back to them once I started using V6 etc) I haven't had one status bar disappearance at all.

Quarx pushed that framework hack to github today, it'll be added in on my next pull :p

He looks like he's very busy today so I'm gonna wait until later tonight before start pulling.

That's probablly a Quarx CM10 with added mods from Zeppelinrox (V6, KickassKernelizer).

I've seen comments of Bravia mod not working on our platform -- its untrue because it works just fine on the Bravo with enhanced images and everything (the first Bravia mods released didn't contain all the required files like some framework jars -- but I've only seen them work on Gingerbread roms). Its just not very noticable, look at a few images and study them for a few minutes, flash Bravia, and look at those same images -- some aspects will be cleaned up. But ya gotta flash the Bravia mod with the framework jars, libraries, permissions, etc.

Back when I was Porting Pikachu Miui over to the Bravo I thought the Beats Mod he shipped with it didn't work. I had a Beats mod with the same files but placed in different locations and a month later my headphones blew out from the Beats awesomeness (left speaker anyways). Still haven't found one for 9\10 roms, only 7\GB based.

After 36 hours of using V6, KaK, and 3gT, I can tell you all for certain they have a very positive effect on this rom. If you're not using these, start now. If you're unable to decompile services.jar then you're just gonna have to wait until the next release.

Also, Opera Web Browser works great on PA. No lag at all. I'll be using it until Chrome works worth a damn.

While it won't be on the next release, I'm gonna start on Aroma for PA later tonight. It'll only be things like removing unused\unneeded system apps, optional ZeppelinRox scripts, etc at first; but it'll be helpful because I remove around 10 system apps per install.

And a question to everyone who uses this rom -- the default CM file manager sucks imho, any complaints if I were to just remove it and put in Apoonet's MiFileExplorer? Or any open\free file manager with root access? I'm open to suggestions.
[Defy Android Development] kHron0S:
The default file manager is bad, i use solid explorer but i dont think that its open source, love thau you are going to implement the Aroma installer in it and the ability to remove sistem apps on install and various tweaks and maybe the option to install the multiboot menu version of the touch boot, anyhow these are good builds very speedy , one bug that i found is that if you select smartass in bootmenu the android it will show you that you started with ondemand but will have smartassv2 in settings ,after some benching with Antutu i have found an intresting pattern with the phone started on smartass in bootmenu but showing ondemand in setting i get 38 fps in the 3d soldiers bench, but with smartassv2 selected in the performance settings selected i got 33fps , strange behavior. Great builds keep it always this good.

[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
@skeevy420 - Good luck !!! Tweaks are good when they are used with care and knowledge what they do . I'm on this Cannon rom and it is very responsive and fast - I'd like to try yours smatassV2 governor and cpu settings from PA21 to see if it help with battery usage . Do you have default cpu settings for PA21 somewhere ?

And I must say that Beats Audio tweaks definitly works , don't know how to check Bravia one ?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
That's not that strange. OnDemand will always have the best results on benchmark apps -- It jumps up to max vsel and stays there. Boosted\V2 only go up based on cpu usage.

Back in the day I noticed an overclock bug -- no matter what was selected it would run like crap until a different governor was selected. My quick fix was to load OnDemand\Performance\UserSpace in the bootmenu and have what ever governor you preferred to use selected in the CM Performance Menu with apply on boot selected. That may still be needed.

take /bootmenu/script/overclock.sh and /bootmenu/config/overclock.conf from PA and replace those files in Cannon. Also go to /lib/modules and take PA's smartass.ko -- that can be done on any rom from 7 on up (or any rom that uses the governors and bootmenu).

I forgot to add earlier, disabling window and transiton animations made the rom almost lag free. Go to Dev Options and change Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animation Duration Scale to off. While its not as pretty with the fancy animations, it runs better with less lag.
[Defy Android Development] sebx_g1:
THX . Many new updates are planned soon , it will be busy weekend . New CM10 quarx is ready , new PA from you , also Cannon rom v5.1 for green lens defy should be avaiable tommorow ... uff ...
[Defy Android Development] venkatp:
@skeevy : will try disabling those tweaks. hopefully I'll get back my status bar.

Very eager to see aroma installer in upcoming builds. And the performance scripts too. :)

Reg file manager, the default one is pathetic. I'm using ES file explorer. It has root access, compressed files support(zip and rar afaik). It has additional features of accessing online storage like google drive, drop box, box, sky drive and some others. Possible to access other devices, server and ftp over wifi. Found it very useful. Not sure if its open source but its free.

Any plans of changing default launcher and keyboard since your upcoming PA is going aroma? I'm using Swype ics keyboard. Its great.

I'm loving PA in tablet mode in low dpi. its looking great. Special thanks for the browser, its just perfect :)

P.S. : Thanks skeevy not just for PA but for patiently going through all our posts and opinions :)

I'm running PA 2.10 Defy+ (installed after a data/cache/dalvik wipe) on a Red Lens MB525 (Defy) with GB Kernel. I had to apply the battery fix found in the CM10 FAQ thread and never have any problems since.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

+1 Apoonet's MiFileExplorer! I deleted CM FileManager apk and added MiFileExplorer before installing the ROM!

Talking about changes...I don't know who should be dealing with this (if any) but everytime I install a new ROM I have to make a few changes to the apn-conf.xml so it works correctly for my carrier (Personal) in Argentina. The data connection user/pass is outdated and the MCC/MNC is wrong. Would it be possible to modify the source you're using to relfect these changes?

I also change the baseband zips and files from an stock Personal Froyo Defy phone because the ones included here do not work in my phone (no signal).

I would also like to know what is missing in this ROM to make call recording happen. I really miss this feature as I have a lousy memory!

Plus, if anyone can recommend a good recording app (not for calls but for notes, meetings, etc) it will be appreciated. I've tried Mi File Recorder but it FC's.
[Defy Android Development] nziria:
do you have proxymity problem in calling?

@skeevy420

how about battery life? yesterdey it drop fast.

now i have 78% usage

wifi on,only 1 call

usage: 9h,9min

it's normal?
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Post your apn changes and I'll add them in. no problems.

Haven't ever used call recording ever, any rom. I'll look into it.

Not sure, but my battery drops to around 70-60% after 8 hours, 4 calls around 2-5 mins each, 1 hour of music (headphone jack into car stereo), wifi on only when around wifi (but about 15 mins on wifi, 30 mins over 3G; usually for Google Talk or Market Updates).

I use Holo Lanucher Plus and SwiftKey3\Hackers Keyboard (depends on what I'm doing). I really like Trebuchet, but its not very customizable. The hardest part about using alternate launchers is that the good ones have a market license key.

I'm thinking of a compromise by having Aroma look to an SDCard directory and installing the apks it contains -- that way all you'd have to do is copy the app's apk to say "/sdcard/PAinstall/userapps/system (or /data; not all apps play nicely on /system)" and they'd be installed and I wouldn't have to bloat the installer with everyones' special apps.
