So, with today's nightly (02/07/2012) GPU Control and zcache are available to users. The only problem, if you do not know how to use the terminal, you can't use them! We need some interface that allow us to configure these, I think the easiest way is for the Bootmenu to be modified to support these, the other to modify the DefyParts app. I'm no programmer though, so these are merely suggestions to the devs here.

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Or a kernel control app like blechd0se said. But makes more sense in the defy parts app.

Could you tell us what commands to use till then, I'm one of those who don't know what commands to use.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
so far so good. nice the camera tile in the quick settings panel :p

hope data bug is still not present in this build.. will report later! :good:

EDIT: do you know if the kernel in this build is the latest one by blenchd0se?
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
Hi,

default values for gpu control and zcache are they OK for stadard use ?

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
For GPU, you don't need to touch anything really. For zcache, it doesn't work for me, it consumes all my RAM, so I left it disabled.
[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
I've had the same problem with zcache, so, it is disabled by default?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yes it is.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
am i wrong or wake up screen is better now? :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yep, it's better ever since the last update of the interactive scheduler by [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION].
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
Check Quarx github, he just changed some things about that ! ;)

Will be in next build.

bugs

I completely wiped my phone (data/cache/system) to ensure that i was not carrying forward anything from last build. Some problems i noticed

1) changes made in bootmenu/CPU settings are not being saved. *also i notice very few options in CPU settings(only freq and vsels - welcomed)

2) expanded desktop doesn't work

3) navigation bar/pie control settings in settings/system missing since last build
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I did, nothing new there that's not in today's build.

Where can I find the latest minimal gapps?

I could only find "apps-jb-20130301-minimal_cm10.1_edited"

Are these the latest?
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
check minimal gapps by tejus, it includes latest play store. there's a thread, in theme and apps maybe..
[Defy Android Development] configuration:
After installing latest build, phone only wanted to boot in bootloader menu.

Full wipe cache/dalvik, installed latest, install gapps, wipe cache/dalvik.

Did I do anything wrong?

All I can do right now is flash SBF right?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I thought those commits were included in this build. Are they not?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
What does "full wipe cache/dalvik" mean?
[Defy Android Development] configuration:
A short way of saying that I did a full data wipe and dalvik cache and cache wipe.
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
They are included. I'm sorry, my bad...

I didn't see correctly the timestamp of the commits.

Sorry ccav2000 !

I have exactly the same, but I can't find the answer in this topic.

Can anybody help?

Might have accidently installed wrong gapps, will report.

You should install gapps for 10.1.

I once did an install of cm10 gapps in 10.1 rom resulting in same errors.
[Defy Android Development] sunil_defy:
Volume button wakes the device but always changes the volume.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
In case you haven't found it, you can download the correct minimal gapps from here.

every time I need to reboot the phone to connect to the computer via usb,it just happens in cm10.1
[Defy Android Development] Anton111111:
I tried this kernel on cm10. And it very slowly and eat all ram. Also bluetooth doesn't start at all :(.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
This kernel is for CM10.1.
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
Yes it would be nice, so right now i'm writing a small app to make those stuff much quicker:

1) enable/disable the GPU control driver

2) set the GPU's max clock frequency

3) enable/disable zCache

it'll be ready soon :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I hope you mean GPU's control frequency! CPU is already controlled by bootmenu.

[Defy Android Development] okij:
Thank you to the devs!

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION], [MENTION=221788]Blechdose[/MENTION] and to all other devs who have contributed:

Since yesterday's update there haven't been so many posts in this forum, especially not many bug reports.

What does this tell us? :confused:

I'm sure it means that many of us have already installed 07-02's nightly and are happily using it without hassle! :laugh:

For me personally, this is the best CM10 / CM10.1 release for the Defy(+) so far! Of course, there are still some bugs and things on the todo-list (and I'm sure that Quarx and Blechd0se are eager to improve the ROM and to develop new fancy features such as GPU overclocking :cool:), but I think this is the right time to say a big THANK YOU to the devs! :victory::victory::victory:
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
+1 definitely :)

The best build so far for me, too! The smoothness, the responsiveness... It's brilliant :) Even the Camera app performance has improved a lot, it's very usable now :cowboy:

Anybody tried overclocking the GPU to 220mhz? Any gains, any problems?

Cheers, fellas :cyclops: :good:

[MENTION=4442286]niksy+[/MENTION]. Overclock GPU not works yet. Only 100 and 200mhz available. Others values will not work.
[Defy Android Development] runeupo:

[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
Thank you, i was going crazy! I couldn't understand why i was not able to edit that file... BTW i tried everything but even 100mhz could not be applied. Or am i missing something maybe?

OK the app is here, enable/disable GPU control works fine, enable/disable zcache works fine, but GPU freqs are not working for now.

Phone calls when Bluetooth enabled, not connected

Could be useful to mention this bug/todo in the OP - calls won't route to handset earpiece and mic when Bluetooth is enabled, even if no Bluetooth devices connected, at least up to 20130626..

Does anyone know if this is fixed in 201307##?
[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Yeah OC and most UC wont work at the moment. Quarx found a derp from me here, i will have a look at it. Its probably not working because

of some dependecies (Quarx can explain this better). But its still on my list to fix :)

I like your app, its very simple :) Do you plan to release the code on github? Because i want to build the kernel control app directly in settings

and rework the defy parts (just got my new build enviroment, clean kernel compiles now in 2 minutes ):)

You can find my todo list on my server, i will even start to use g+ more frequently to post status updates :)
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
I did not set up a github yet but here below is attached the source code, taken directly from my Eclipse workspace. Use it as you wish :)

EDIT - source moved from here to GitHub:

https://github.com/xdaid/GPU_Control
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Oh regarding the led on your to do list, do you mean the notification LED? I remember that a long time ago with CM7, maybe even before ICS was out, the LED would not blink at all, it would only stay on all the time. Now it only blinks at a fixed pace irrespective of the settings we configure. If this is what you intend to change, then can't wait :) Personally I prefer it to stay on, that way I don't have to stare at the phone for a longish time to see if there are notifications. Handy while driving.
[Defy Android Development] lionel126:
with usb plugged in, charging led is not bright everytime i reboot my device
[Defy Android Development] level_666:
[MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION] wouldn't be better to integrate those controls on performance settings?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Although what you propose is logical, it's not the best way. Ever since CM7, the indicated way from CyanogenMod itself is to integrate all the device specific settings/tweaks in a -parts app, DEFYPARTS in the case of the DEFY. The app itself is accesible from inside the settings, in the Advanced menu. With this way the rest of the CyanogenMod codebase can remain the same and the devs do not have to maintain additional repos with their own patches.
[Defy Android Development] starbright_:
+1
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
so could someone summarize please..

in this new build there some extras that has been added. I understand that gpu freqs can't be used at the moment, while GPU control and zcache can be enabled and disabled.. can you exaplain what do these two things do exactly? I read few pages ago they are disabled by default, should we expect any improvement enabling them? tx..
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Quarx is not going to add pdroid support obviously, no point spamming again and again here. Best option is for you guys to switch to the xposed framework based xprivacy or get used to the CM privacy guard option. If neither works for you then just compile CM10.1 yourself and add the pdroid commits, it's actually pretty simple if you have the patience.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
They're not both disabled. zCache is disabled because by default because it seems to not function properly at the moment (it eats up your RAM and the device reboots when an application that you open needs some memory freed for itself)

On the other hand, the GPU control is currently a very simple thing. Before Blechd0se introduced it the GPU would

always

be working at a clock of 200mhz. Now it's limited to 50mhz when the screen is off and that saves a noticeable amount of battery :) The GPU control is already enabled! (hence the "on the other hand" intro ;) )

This has all pretty much been said already, though :p
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks a lot! will try the GPU clock control immediately so! great! :)

EDIT: I see that GPU Control is already enabled, so that comes enabled and no need to do anything with that for now, good :)

Stuck on boot animation

I'm on cm10.1 build of 27/05 and it worked good until today :confused:

If i try to boot up it stuck on boot animation... after the red led light up and shutdown, the cyanogenmod's rotating circle animation remains and i can't do anything. But if i wipe data, it reboot normally band boot up. I did a twrp backup, bit i don't nave any titanium backup :(

So is there a workaround to pass bootanimation without losing any data?? Please, help :crying:
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Looks like you experienced the data corruption bug. Whenever I had this bug, I did a factory reset and restored TWRP backup.

Next time please ask on the support thread;).
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
I did it... I did a twrp backup after that "data corruption bug" appeared. So i wiped cache, dalvik, system band data from twrp; then, i've restored the prevoiusly twrp backup band pressed reboot system button. But then, it stuck on "Starting Applications" :confused::rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Well, then I think you should start from the beginning.

Here's what I did when that happened once-

Start from sbf, root, 2ndinit

Install rom

Tried restoring backup.

It worked.
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
I was attempting to over/underclock the gpu clock, but it seems that everything i try to write in /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq is ignored.

# cat /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq
200000000
# echo 220000000 > /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq
# cat /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq
200000000

is this the right way to do it?

Moreover, is this formula right: max_freq = wantedHz * 10^6 ? (? < wantedHz <= 250)
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
[MENTION=4128517]carlo93[/MENTION], values should be in MHz.

echo 100 > /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq

In suspend by default = 100MHz. In Android 200MHz.

If value > 300Mhz = ingore.

If value is wrong, you can see error in dmesg.

For now overlcock not available.
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
But, about the backup... you did it before that the "data correction bug" appeared, or after?
[Defy Android Development] xinrag:
RIL bug gone?! Looks very good!

Hi!

For me 20130702 looks like a milestone... seems to me the ril/date disconnect bug is gone. Maybe it is to early to say... but everything looks like the data connection via 2g/3g does not get broken (or if so it well reinitialized - whatever) anymore.

This is a very, very big step in the right direction. Thank you very, very much!

Best regards,

Stephan
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
yes actually 3g data connection seems stable again here, and it was not in all the builds I tried after 15/apr, plus, it seems battery is really lasting longer now!

if everything will be confirmed in the coming days I agree this is one of the best builds so far! great job quarx and blenchd0se and all the other who contributed xdaid, yafu, kayant, ccav2000, dh.harald etc!! :highfive::good::victory::)

ps. yafu disappeared? :eek: no news from him for almost a month now! :confused:
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
Does this build have the "wifi jamming bug"? Btw, what' is your performance configuration of zram and ,ksm? :)
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
about wifi jamming, it should be fixed. but I have never had it so I can not confirm you, wait for people who had it..

about zram, I always disable it as soon as I flash a new build, so I don't know what happens enabling it. zcache is disabled by default and should be kept disabled until it is not completely fixed if I well understood!
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Yes, Wifi Jamming is fixed on the latest builds, or if you want to use an older build you can replace the wifi binary files; read a few pages back and you'll find a zip you can flash that will do it for you, or you can go to the General section and look for the related topic.

Regarding ksm:

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Good point, and using zram is exactly what I'm doing for the last week. It does seem to help in keeping the amount of available RAM higher than it would be otherwise.
[Defy Android Development] Eller1987:
My Defy don not connect to the Internet since today.

What is the problem?
[Defy Android Development] Born_Bad:
in older (don't know about latest) builds, the defy just connected after some tries, "H" symbols appears and disappears 3-4 times, then stays.

any first opinions about battery life on the 02-07 build?

i am still on 15-04 because it seems to give best battery life.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
it is worth to update, for me both battery and data connection are good, and I was with 15/apr build too ;)

once you update, post your feedbacks about battery and data connection :)
[Defy Android Development] triovi:
I can't confirm the H sign problem. The battery is ok, 1 day and still counting.

I have a problem with random reboots. But they are very occasinally.It happens when the phone is in sleep mode without any external interface. When I open the phone it ask me the pin code, only this way I saw it was an reboot.
[Defy Android Development] Kurt Krummbein:
... the quintessence of backups is, that they have to be done BEFORE the damage, not after ;).

Ciao

[Defy Android Development] remix96:
I tried it, but Titanium Backup said that there is nothing in Twrp Backup :confused:

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

I'm not a noob, i now it. But i don't damage anything! The phone worked good until today, and is been from a week that i don't install anything new!
[Defy Android Development] xdamala:
I tried this with my sons SGS on CM7.1. Worked fine. Turned it off, turned it on days later and stuck on boot. Wipe data fixed it but restoring it brought the problem back. I examined the data partition (via ADB) but never found the cause. Had to start over.

Are you sure TB supports TWRP (and not only CWM)?
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
Yes, i'm sure. It is written on play store too.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Then most likely your backup is corrupt or did not complete properly. I can see my data/apps in my backup. Perhaps you have the free version and there is a difference between free and paid?

Absolutely sure, check the images attached.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
why not posting such problems and relevant answers in the discussion thread rather than in the development thread? :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
The backup was completed. I can select the backup like in your first screenshot, but in the second i have nothing listed. :(
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
It would probably make more sense, but someone did ask a question related to something that is known to happen (data corruption/loss), which the developers should be aware of, as should they be aware of their symptoms that way they can fix it.

Also, helping out/answering questions shouldn't bother you that much since you've done it here, here, which in turn, are lot more helpful than this and this, which have absolutely nothing to do with development. No offense intended.
[Defy Android Development] remix96:
Thanks for you support :D Btw, now i've restored something from titanium backup, but, is there a way to restore sms and contacts too? :o
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
devs are already aware of data corruption/loss, and I don't see how two pages speaking of backup/restore problems could help them

second, when I did help, I also shorted my answered to the maximum level, helping and suggesting to ask in the discussion thread (to don't be rude and just say "go post somewhere else", I wrote something like "go post somewhere else, btw solution could be xxx", )

third, about last two posts, again those are not even close to the two last pages of the sh*tty discussion you are feeding

ps. if I go look for your posts in previous pages I am sure I will find OT stuff as well so I don't see the point in doing that like you did and continue the OT...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Calm down guys. I personally didn't have any data loss yet but I did have a random reboot just this morning. Ever since I bought this phone I never had a ROM that was completely rid of the random reboot problem, just that some versions do it more frequently than others. Another little "feature" we probably can thank Motorola for.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
To restore SMS, restore Phone/Messaging Storage, and to restore Call Logs/Contacts, restore Contacts Storage. You might want to check the "Migrate System Data" checkbox in Preferences if it doesn't work at first.

Short answer, long answer, still an "unnecessary post". First off, whether you like it or not, this conversation is helping others, and secondly, I agreed with you and said you have a point, but I also said don't be so hypocritical about it because you've done the exact same thing. Sure, I've gone off topic, but you don't see me crying to others about not doing it. Also, I wasn't trying to offend you, but if the shoe fits, wear it.
[Defy Android Development] pl4yeR:
With latest nightly (02/07/2013) I can't change cpu frequencies from bootmenu, is this intended? Or it's only my problem? I'm still trying new features but so far, this nightly is impresively fast! :eek:

EDIT: for more info: Most options are missed, just frequencies and vsels are shown, but I can't save changes... When I hit save, screen goes back to bootmenu and when I enter again, default frequencies are shown...
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
[MENTION=4864817]Antiga Prime[/MENTION]: i meant i tried to short the discussion, not short my answer/post. and no, i didn't do the exact same thing, as you don't even try to short the OT discussions, maybe you like OT or "thanks".. but well i am probably wrong..

btw, coming back IT, i have never had reboots nor data losses/corruptions in all last builds i tried so far.. maybe i am lucky! :) but i had many data connection problems in exchange, that now hopefully seem fixed btw.. I'll keep monitoring and report!
[Defy Android Development] Lightis:
020713 is the best 10.1 build i have tried yet. Fast and no reboots sofar

Great work devs!!!
[Defy Android Development] patriiice:
I reported the same problem but on CM10 build of 03/07/2013...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Probably something here, the only change to bootmenu recently:

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_external_bootmenu/commit/1ed9cd922f1a2514dd56fa383489398fd3f11b2b

And probably Quarx already knows what's wrong, so probably will get fixed in time :)
