Goodbye

Hmm, it's that moment when i say goodbye to my Defy. After almost two and a half years of service, i sold it yesterday for a decent price. I will be heading to the LG Optimus G -E975 (Nexus 4 brother) forums.

So thanks are in order:

1st, Quarx for keeping our Defy alive this long, and still mending it

2nd. Epsylon, Maniac, and all the other devs who helped, to many to count.

3rd. and most important, all the users who made this, well, the greatest smartphone community on XDA

I will miss the excitement here. I am sure Android 4.3 and 5.0 will be here as well.

I know this post will get lost in the other millions here but i wish you all the best.
[Defy Android Development] keikun007:
sorry if it's a recurrent question but atm which is more stable? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? or both are the same? which one is faster? thanks
[Defy Android Development] HammDefy:
The actual 4.2.2 (CM10.1) is smoother and more stable than any other Custom Rom i ever flashed on my Defy (red lense). In Benchmarks, CM10.1 is as fast as CM10.0 :)

Could someone, please, comment on Quality of the Pics with this Rom?
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I feel its the same as other custom roms (except CM7).

Could you please, have a look these pics and confirm compared against this here? More likely as 1 and 2 OR like 2 and 4.
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
As far as I know the camera will take same quality pictures regardless of ROM and/or camera app
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
afaik that's not true.. stock roms can take different pictures than custom roms (cm for example), in fact not only the sensor is involved but also the sw used for the reconstruction, extra options/features etc.

I was looking for a new mobile phone for example, and investigated about LG Optimus 4x hd and Xperia T ones: in the first case someone using official cm10.1 is still using stock camera app as they say it takes better pictures, instead for the Xperia T someone says offical cm10.1 takes better picture than stock app, because of the reconstruction process better in cm..!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43266923&postcount=332!

also, sometime stock roms have more camera settings and so can take possibly better pictures: sony for example is just now realising camera libs to be used freely also in cm10.1, to have better pictures in cm also (even if as I said before someone says cm is already taking better pictures than stock.. but those are personal feelings I suppose!)

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/06/23/new-camera-features-coming-to-cyanogenmod-10-1-sony-xperia-builds/

a part from that general speech, actually I don't know how it works in our defy's and if there are really that differences between stock and custom :angel::p
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I never noticed till now (probably because I have a Defy+). There is a slight difference, Defy+ has more noise (1 has more noise and more blurry compared to 4, as for 3 I've not seen such a clear picture in that sort of lighting in my Defy+):eek:.

Hi,

What's new in this version?

Is the BT speaker working now?

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
This morning i wanted to change Max value of processor frequency in performance settings. So I changed max to 600. I didn't like it much, so I went back to 1000. I discovered that if I change the max clock value in performance settings and then change it back, the clock value gets stuck to the earlier value. I found that the value was stuck to 600 even if I changed it to 800/1000. It got changed only when I changed the min clock value to 1000.

The CPU States showed that the phone spent all of the time at 1ghz (except deep sleep), even if I did nothing, hence resulting in mediocre battery life.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Defy Android Development] justjr:
AFAIK you can set a lot of things in cameras apps like Lgcamera (and even stock, but its not as much customisable).

So if this pics were taken in stock with camera in AUTO, this pics are not a fair comparison, you need specify everything manually (exposure, ISO, scene, white balance, etc) and take pictures with EXACTLY same light and place.

My advice is to use lgcamera with any rom and I think you will have the same good results.

Nightly Builds for others...

Still love the build for the Motorola Bravo (mb520-kobe). Thanks much for thinking of us lowly, lonely stragglers from the past.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, it turns out that I got another "sudden reboot", except that the phone did not reboot, it shutdown, and I found out when I pulled it out of my pocket. I had to actually pull the battery to get it to turn back on. Luckily, I don't see any data loss. Right after I got it to turn on I saved a Dmesg and Kmsg which are attached.

Even though I don't know anything about this, there's this part that does in fact make me wonder:

<6>[ 2.099456] EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p21): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem

At any rate, maybe someone with more knowledge can check out the attached logs and hopefully figure out what's going on.

Edit: Couldn't get last_kmsg, I guess I took to long to actually pull it and it's gone now; don't even know if it was actually there, but I don't see why it shouldn't have.

Another thing I noticed is that even though I am happy with this ROM so far, it does use more battery than the previous ROM I was on, and particularly, a lot of stats get dumped with Android OS. Attached there are also screenshots that show that Android OS has kept the phone awake for about an hour, and yet the detailed graph does not show any awake activity during the entire time on battery, which in itself shows something is wrong. Unfortunately after the unwanted power down, my BBS "from unplugged" and "custom" references were erased, but I'm pretty sure that at least less than half of that time was due to WiFi usage.
[Defy Android Development] bhupatib:
^ I've had the same sudden shutdowns earlier when I pressed the back of the phone or when pressure was applied to it while in my pockets. Power button won't start it up and I had to remove/reinsert the battery.

Turned out it was a loose SIM which was causing the problem and after proper remove/reinsert it didn't happened again.
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
I had exactly the same shut down in CM10(they both are very similar now, especially kernel etc) after about 50hours up time

I'll try removing/refit SIM

Be interesting to see how many others have this?

MB525 Red lense

Edit, I'm quite sure it wasn't the SIM issue as it only happened once & after reading about it I tried to replicate with pressure on the back plate, is your battery loose?

Many owners notice a rattle when shaking their phones because the battery moves, I had this & folded some paper, placed it on the battery which solved the rattle ;)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I'll keep that in mind next time, but I'm pretty sure it's not that, since it's rebooted before when it has just been lying on my desk.

If you expand the Pic Details in Google Pictures will see, every Pic was taken with different parameters, Pic 3 Was take with Flash Activated, Pic 3 Disactivated Flash, and Dif. Exposure, ISO and Focal Lenght.

To be fair, the pics must be taken with the exact same parameters.

Unfortunately I had to disable zRam in the end, it causes instability if the system is put under heavy load that stains CPU and RAM. Had a couple of reboots this morning, and I had already reverted the overclocking so I could test in clean conditions. Right now neither zCache or zRam are usable for me in their current state.
[Defy Android Development] fairxda:
Zram with 10% - until now only one reboot. Maybe my heavy load was not as heavy as yours. Only YouTube immediately after updating some apps which results always for some seconds in an high cpuload.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I am not even sure 100% that zRam itself is to blame, but ever since Aerokernel was introduced I noticed that it has severe problems in conditions of high load, it will get unresponsive and that will usually end up in a reboot. Sometimes it may recover if you leave the device alone, but the point is, a single app should never be allowed to bog down the device so much. What happened to multitasking?
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
so zram could be the culprit? as i said earlier i always disable it when i flash a new rom and never had a single reboot in the last months.. also i don't OC if that could help investigating
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Could be, but to be 100% I need to see what's going to happen now that I have it off.
[Defy Android Development] 01ago:
I have reboots occasionally too, but my zRam has been off.

Another question regarding the camera: my camera cannot adjust its distance. Even if I set focus to 'Infinity' manually, the photo taken still shows focus distance being within 1 meter. That means any landscape photos will always be blurred. Dos anyone know a solution?:confused:
[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
Volume Buttons

Hi guys, I'm on 26'th iune's build, and I seem to have an issue. It happened before too (since the improvements on interactive).

Using interactive governor leads to wrong reading of the Vol. Up key. whenever I try to raise the volume. I pres the button once as quickly as I can and the volume goes Up two or three times.

Using boosted, it never happens. May be related to high usage of cpu and multiple reads of the same key press.. or a debouncer module missing.

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Quick update: after disabling zRam I was unable to reproduce the sudden reboots so far. Seems that zRam is at least partially at fault if not completely.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I now have an uptime of 4 days 6 hours.

Problems have suddenly started cropping up an hour ago-

1. Phone is unuseably slow, launcher doesn't open (memory leak)

2. Phonecalls and messages not working

3. I get FCs continuously

At approx. 3 days uptime-

The phone's maximum cpu speed is stuck at maximum value. Hence battery life nosedived.

Launcher has started to become laggy, memory consumption increases. Normally I have about 160-200 mb free RAM. Now free RAM is around 50-60 mb, even with no apps open.

Interactive governor, no dithering, no zram, no ksm, no zcache.

[Defy Android Development] Fire Head:
Had this problem a few times in the last weeks, don't know why. You have to wipe data to make it work again, but before that you can create a backup in the recovery. After the wipe and installation of CM10.1 you can restore the data you need out of titanium backup app (nandroid restore). I know it isn't the ideal solution, but better than nothing :)
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
Not really a question for this threat...

Boot to the custom recovery and make a nand backup of data before you wipe it. So that you can always restore it and get back to the state you're in now. Then you actually know wiping data helps. You can also restore apps from that backup with titanium backup (paid version, don't know of other)

Please make sure you don't run out of battery while doing these things.
[Defy Android Development] Pason:
I backup data at recovery before wipe data.then I wipe data and reboot,it can boot,but same problem if I restore data at recovery.so.can you upload your titanium backup and tell me how to use it restore my nand backup?

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

thanks，I will try it
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
You'll have to have a paid version to be able to restore from nand-backup (its in the menu options under "Special backup/..."

I bought the app. There might be other apps out there that do the same tho... You can also restore the nand-backup and use adb to delete some parts and leave other. But then you have to know where the problem is (and have to know what you can lead and what not.

Didn't say that restoring it would help, I just said that restoring would bring you back to the same so wiping data was no loss.

Bug or not ?

I can't view my agenda dates with the clock widget without maximized the widget in the lock screen. Previously, it worked (A fiew weeks ago). Now, the widget is too big.

Is it possible to reduce the widget size or the police size of the hour ?
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
Had the same issue and as royrules26, I only had to reflash the ROM + gapps (with cache and dalvik wipes before) and it worked again without data loss.

It's a real issue, I hope Quarx will find the culprit.

[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Last time i uploaded a new kernel many users complained about zcache. So this release should adress some of those issues.

Changelog;

* Fixed some bugs in zcache and backported more stuff from mainline.

* slightly improved deadline scheduler

* updated lowmemorykiller (~3.3)

* introduced zram for android

* avoid loadavg Moire in CFS (Quarx)

So what is zram for android? Some users reported instability with zram enabled and i am guessing the reason is somewhere

how android handles memory. Androids implementation of memory subsystem and lowmemorykiller doesn't

take into account of swap space, but zram is based on swap. So this is a huge design mistake and some guy thought he could bring

those worlds together, so i added a commit from Brandon Berhent which enables the lowmemorykiller to "know" that the device

is using swap space (=zram).

While i needed to backport a lot in order to make it work, its still based on the orginal work; github

So this update is only for zram-users? No, everyone should "feel" the advantages of a updated LMK and furthermore Quarx updated

the main sched-code to avoid the moire-effect in kernel.

Let me know what you think about the update and if its working well :)

Awesome, I'm testing it right now, I'll report on this post later.

Edit: well, I've been testing for a while, and I have to say that it feels faster and responsive, also it has lots of free ram, around 150mb on the best conditions, apps open quicker, and scrolling is with less lag than before, also gaming seems improved too. Everything seems great so far. If I find a problem, I'll report it as soon as possible. (zram (18%) - deadline)

Ah, I have a question, with this new kernel update, should deadline perform better than SIO? and the other thing, maybe it is already answered, but what value for zram will you reccomend?

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The Bluetooth error is because you are using a CM10.1 kernel with a CM10 build.

I also installed this kernel today, enabled zRam and also set the clock speeds back to default and adjusted the VSELs to the new defaults Quarx has changed in github. He increased the default VSELs and when I asked why he said that some users reported less trouble with the "Telephony Problem" (the infamous RIL bug) with increased VSELs. I guess that is the reason Motorola had the VSELs so high in the first place.
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
OK, so it seems that we have two seperate issues.

The first is "bootloop after automatic shutdown (low battery)"

The second one is "corrupted data after shutdown"

My work ph is also Android(Sony Ericsson, stock ICS) & has this problem too, my brother hates android as he got one free on contract(LG Optimus Black, stock GB) & from day one has had this, 3 phones later no fix, he is now an Apple fan

Could it be that others are getting good reception but poor quality signal due to network upgrades or overloading?

As Quarx wrote "This build not contain ZCache/Zram/Swap"on OP, could you tell us if your last kernel (07-08) can be flashed over the brand new 2013-07-09 CM10.1 Quarx's build without problem ?

I understand that Quarx wants to play it safe in this build, but zRam and zcache are completely optional and disabled by default, I do not see the reason why they are removed. As for swap, never used it, and it also is disabled by default. We'll see how this kernel goes vs [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION]'s kernel which has these enabled.
