Just made the jump from Quarx CM10 to this. Fantastic build, I'm on 13/04 and it's very very impressive. It has even partially fixed my only significant blocker the BBC iPlayer app now streams albeit without sound but it's a start:D

Thanks

As I can see from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39885461&postcount=590

The data partition can get full, and therefore gapps sometimes does not install succesfully -> that's why I think it is good to use Ultimate Wipe ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818520 ) before installing build as it also wipes data partition. I also flash minimal gapps, just to ensure it does not run out of space on data partiton.
[Defy Android Development] XJeFX:
well... tried rom again today, new download (rom and minimal gapps posted on page 60+) and no, phone doesn't get signal... when i select a carrier that never worked before in any rom it gets signal but unstable, and wifi doesn't work at all. when there is no phone signal wifi works perfect.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
About 3G data, someone can try some options?

In build.prop, add/remove options:

ro.telephony.ril.v3 = signalstrength, facilitylock, datacall, icccardstatus, skipbrokendatacall, writeaidonly, skipnullaid, datacallapn

Maybe one of these will help.

I didn't understand, but my 3g HSPA works, first attemp after boot need ~10-15 sec for work HSPA.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Quarx, after boot it always works. The problem appears if you disable data and try to enable again. I was looking last night exactly for the those options, I will try them myself today. If it works, I will report here.
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
thanks ccav2000.

About BT headset, can someone try this kernel http://quarx2k.ru/zImage and report. (copy to /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/zImage)

[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Really?, wow....i can't explain how... but it's great!

So, i can fix our moto app too:)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Magic ;)

Quarx I was wondering why don't you use Eppy's yaffs2 in JB 4.2.2 because without it recovery won't compile for me..... Data and ADB never works for me when I self compile could be related to using Eppy's yaffs2??

Also thanks for switching to TWRP I was planning on trying to port CWM6 before but couldn't has I wasn't sure what flags we needed for the Defy.

Edit - I guess TWRP should fix my issues now :)

Edit 2 - all my issues should be solved now with the new changes..... Thanks again master Quarx ^_^
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
OK, I tried all of these. Unfortunately none of them helped, some of them brake RIL completely. I was observing the data connection, I wonder if in my case the data connection is in fact working but the phone thinks it's not and cancels it and retries again. Did they change any time outs in the RIL handling in 4.2.2?
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
when I installed latest build it seems to me it deleted the old system files (at least I think to remember something like "deleting old system files") that's why I didn;t use the full wiper..

btw I am trying soon again a clean install with ext4 full wiper first, and this time I will try to install the "gapps-jb-20130301-minimal_cm10.1_edited.zip" instead of the full one thank you will report back ;)

EDIT: I forgot to mention I too have some problem with slow 3g enabling after switching to 2g (areas without 3g coverage)

EDIT2: great will try radio now thanks Prowzak!!!

Hello fellow community,

I don't know if you are aware, but -Danik- (one of MS2 devs) has managed to unlock/hack bootloader which should be a great news for all Moto phones with locked bootloader. See the link for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40135678&postcount=443

Great, but not usable yet since not everyone can buy the equipment required for what he did. Gives a possible hope for the future though.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
just wondering if that's a small bug or maybe a problem on my friend's phone who sended it.. audio attachments received via whatsapp (and played by whatsapp embeded player) are playing laggy (with interruptions).. does it happen to me only? tx

edit: also, in 4.2.2 reboot to cwm is not possible anymore?
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
From what I see in that picture the 'equipment' consists of a level converter, nothing more. That sort of 'equipment' should be within reach for anyone who is interested in unlocking these phones, it should not cost more than a few €/₤/$/¥.

If this is the real deal, and if it can be used without to much risk of a bricked phone, it is comparable to the knights of the round table staring at a newly installed road sign saying '[FONT="Monospace, Courier New"]Holy Grail, 5 km ->[/FONT]'
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Even so, I'll bet you people will manage to kill their phones. A how to must be written, in a manner even the dumb can follow. Or these forums will flood with questions and complaints.

[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
thanks all guys who helped my with gestures keyboard, especially ccav2000 and sa3e1.. I hope I didn't forget anyone! I finally got it to work thanks to your advices!

I reinstalled last 10.1 build after making a full ex4 wiper, and installed also minimal gapps "edited" this time instead of the full gapps package, and keyboard works now out of the box! :)

so problem could be due to /system full or releated to the full gapps package.. and actually I think the problem was the gapps package, in fact I booted up the phone immediately after installing quarx build (without gapps) and gestures was not working, then I rebooted in cwm, installed minimal gapps "edited" and rebooted, and gestures started working :)

btw thanks again all and hope this helps other people with same problem!

[Defy Android Development] AlexGraves:
I tried this method of yours earlier this morning. Although you didn't specifically mention your modification, but I tried to change the default automatic login system to manual (entering my provider's proxy address, user name, password, and change authentication method to PAP), it does improve the data reconnection after suspend.

Now, mostly reconnected after first attempt.

Thank you. : )

I'm glad it worked for someone, here it's back to the usual problems, it works only after several retries.
[Defy Android Development] Feche:
I can't disable 3g

But if I put it on airplane mode and then back off, it gets disabled :)
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
enable "use only 2g networks".. no?
[Defy Android Development] Feche:
Nope, it's a bug.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
ah ok you meant you can't disable data connection, not 3g actually. well I can disable data connection here, if I do, the "H" disapppears correctly..

"only" problem is very slow 3g re-connection
[Defy Android Development] Pottkopp:
WLAN is very slow most of the time on latest build.. (5min+ for a 7mb download) everything else is running quite nice :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The more I observe what happens when my phone tries to connect to HSPA the more I'm convinced that it actually establishes a connection only to close it immediately on its own and retry several seconds later. I see the "H" appear and the top arrow lit for a second, then "H" disappears. It will reappear on its own more than 10 seconds later, and either the same thing will happen or it will stay on and the connection will be finally made.

It's rather annoying because some times it will work on the first try (usually after a reboot) and other times it goes in and out many times before it gets stable. And when I really need the data to check something on the Internet I can't wait for when my phone will decide to connect. Another frustrating point is that data worked flawlessly in 4.1.2, and 4.2.2 is not supposed to change things so drastically. But it does somehow :(
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
this happened to me also, and immediately after booting up the phone, so I think it is just a case that for you works better after reboot..

last time I rebooted the phone in fact, I saw the "H" appearing and disappearing immediately at least 6 times. then I tried toggling airplane mode on and off, but the problem continued, I again saw the "H" appearing and disappearing other 3-4 times.

then I did put the phone on a side, and when I looked again at it (at least 10 minutes later) 3g connection was established, so I don't know how long it took to really get the connection.. the problem was so repetitive that I wondered if a dmesg or logcat could have helped in investigating, but I have never took a dmseg or logcat so I gave up immediately ;(

edit: for everything else so far 4.2.2 is wonderful, I love it much more than 4.1.2, so I must admit that's not a so big deal for me so far and I can live with that! ;)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I've tried to look at the logs but could not see anything of value there. If a developer wants my LOGCAT I'll be happy to provide them.
[Defy Android Development] AlexGraves:
Not really, as a matter of fact the reconnection method works better for me on 4.2.2 compared to the one on 4.1.2.

Due to the ugly condition of the network in my country, it's natural having difficulties connecting to the network.

On this 4.2.2, it automatically retries to reconnect, while previously on 4.1.2, I had to retry manually... Sometimes by turning the data off and on again, or temporarily switching to Wifi, or using airplane mode, and even worse by rebooting the phone.

[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
you are saying that I see the "H" appearing and disappearing when the phone is automatically attempting to get again data connection because of the data connection bug? i didn't think about that.. if that's the case i agree actually i much prefer seeing the H disappearing until the data connection is up again rather than seeing the H but don't having the data connection working! (and having to try manually to get it back!)
[Defy Android Development] pl4yeR:
I agree with that because I live in a zone with very good coverage. In others roms (even jb 4.1.2) the data connection is almost instantly so maybe the phone do get data, but even so, he retries...

From the OP:

15.04.13: Fix FM-Radio, Add pie controls, TWRP recovery..

Also Quarx added a ToDo list with problems to be fixed, see OP for more info.

@Quarx:

If you need help to debug the 3G issues (actually, it happens on GPRS and EDGE, not only on 3G), I will help any way I can. If you can, maybe you can create a build with extra logs. The bug annoys me, so I'll do whatever it takes to nail it down!

Go in Settings -> System, you should see the relevant settings there. You must also enable "Expanded Desktop", that adds an option in the Power Menu. Activate Expanded Desktop and the Pie Controls should be active then,
[Defy Android Development] casouzaj:
Quarx, I know I'm being quite repetitive here, but wouldn't you consider adding to your TO DO list in the O.P. the issue in which media scheduler obtains value -1 as vol id whenever a NTFS-formatted card is inserted? The card is correctly mounted, because all file browsers are able to access the card just fine, but for all media related activities, such as music, notifications, ringtones, alarms, camera, play store, ringtone selection, etc., that annoying "unfortunately, process android.process.media has stopped" pop-up message coming up and the task is either not started or immediately closed, thus rendering the user experience pretty useless.

Thanks a lot, anyway.
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
I guess it's because TWRP is opensource, while CWM isn't.

We were stuck on cwm5, which is pretty old, without official updates by cwm.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
If you have problems with slow wifi. Try this: Disable wifi optimisation (advanced wifi settings)

Do you have any clue what that option actually does? Couldn't find any reliable info on it.

Wlan works fast for me without changing anything.

In TWRP-Recovery searching around i got a spontan reboot. But then at second time i had time to look around in TWRP-Recovery without reboot.

Net-Connection, after second time i booted, worked without problems. Before, the defy+ tried 3 times before it got a connection.

When BT is enabled, you cant hear any audio from the other party, both if you are calling or you have received incoming call.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
BT audio NOT working normally in my case, bad distortion. Also I confirm again that when BT is enabled audio is lost during phone calls (yes, even if you have not paired a headset).
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Heads up

Don't know if anyone has noticed but formatting system is broken with twrp making restoring back-ups impossible because it reformats the system first before restoring the backup :(

When you format the system you end up with the infamous bootloader error (Err:A5,70,39,00,27) which can only be fixed by reflashing a sbf

Edit - enable rm-rf in settings before formatting or restoring a backup.... Thanks to ccav2000 for pointing out the work around

Weird problem..call drops after 1 minute during call..happened already 5 times.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I remember than when TWRP was introduced by another developer of the DEFY in the past, he had it set up to use "rm -fr" by default instead of actually formatting. That options is still there in the TWRP settings, but it is NOT checked by default now. I suggest to everyone to check that box before using TWRP.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
I used the 13.04 Versia for playing audio via BT yesterday. Sound is good, notifications are played (sms etc.) but when something happens (screenlok for example) its a lil bit sluggish. But I think this depends on my audioplayer. Only once I had a reboot directly to the recovery menu...strange :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Note: for the BT tests I did NOT use a stereo A2DP headset, but a simpler one that is meant for calls ONLY! The stereo ones use a different BT profile, perhaps that is why some users report BT working for them. BT does not work for simple BT headsets like mine.

Please mention what kind of BT headset you tested with from now on.

Thank you. It seems we have a pattern here, A2DP seems ok (used for stereo music connections) but the simpler BT profile for mono audio used for calls is broken. And of course we have no idea if the audio recording works.

Another bug: BT tethering remains broken. Using the DEFY as server and my Nexus 7 as client, the Nexus cannot connect to the Internet. Therefore BT tethering is broken. I mention this again because it was supposed to be fixed. It's not.

EDIT : My mistake, it's on Quarx's to do list, he already knows.
[Defy Android Development] Jarod42:
I did some tests yesterday with the April 13th ROM. The 5GHz WLAN in my apartment is not shown in the WLAN list.

I however noticed something else. WLAN on my Defy interferes with other WLAN clients. As soon as my Defy is not the only device connected to the Access Point, !no! WLAN communication at all is possible! The Defy somewhat jams the entire channel. I have verified this with 4 different Access Points:

Linksys WRT54G

Fritz!Box 7040

Fritz!Box 7140

Trendnet TEW-692GR

All show the same symptoms!

Has anyone else notices the same behavior?

Btw. I did a clean install of the April 13th ROM. (Data and Cache wipe!)

I can confirm Wifi connection jamming problem is still present in the latest build. Once my Defy is connected to the router, my flat mate who can only receive a weak signal in his room is unable to connect. The other two in the flat seem to be unaffected because the signal we receive is stronger.

When the wifi on my Defy is off, that weak signal he receives is usable. This problem also didn't exist on the old Wifi driver on Defy.

And the problem exists regardless of the Wifi mode (g only or b/g/n mixed).
[Defy Android Development] Jarod42:
The 1st 3 routers are 802.11g only.

The Trendnet TEW-692GR is 450Mbit 802.11n with 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

The Trendnet is my main router. The others are spare routers or belong to neighbors.

Btw. I got a private message from vetko, who is not yet allowed to post under "Defy Android Development". He states, that he has the same problem with his Defy+.

@15.04

I don't like TWRP ;)

I did 3xwipe, then I installed 15.03 and rebooted my phone. i couldn't run Titanium Backup (restart while loading) so I installed CM10 via SBF and then 15.04 once again. Titanium worked. then i went to TWRP again and tried to do factory reset (it was needed when i installed previous version of cm10.1) but i couldn't wipe /cache nad /dalvik (also couldn't mount /cache and /dalvik). i wiped what i could ;) and installed 15.04 again. after boot I tried to change language to polish (there was no configuration menu at first boot) and rebooted. at next boot, system language still was english and trebuchet shows screens to get familiar whit it (like in first boot after instalation).

now i'm flashing CM10 via SBF and hope that CWM recovery will work ;)

please forgive my english :)

[Defy Android Development] Feche:
Did you try changing channel on router?

Can someone make a patch for this? thanks :)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I reported this on the CM 10 thread. This started with the new WiFi drivers, but know idea as to why it's happening. I posted here how I tested to confirm it's my Defy. I use three routers in my house:

1) Trendnet TEW-651BR (150 Mbps Wireless N),

2) Linksys Wrt54g Wireless Router (Running DD-WRT)

3) Linksys WAP54G Wireless Access Point

And yes, I can confirm the signal jamming starts when there is a weak signal. It's almost like the Defy decides to suck up the entire bandwidth. As you can see from the post I made in the CM10 thread, the jamming stops while the phone is doing a WiFi Direct Peer search (so it would be up to the devs to figure out what exactly is going on while doing that search), and, flashing the JellyX kernel fixes the signal jamming, but ruins the reception (probably because the WiFi calibration on that specific JellyX build is different than Quarx's).

Edit: Just to be clear, even though WiFi becomes unusable for other devices on a weak signal, even when the signal is strong and the internet connection is "usable", there still are dropped packets by both the other device and the phone, just not to such an extreme as when the signal is weak. This would not happen with the old WiFi drivers.
