[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
Today I discovered a strange bug in Slimbean 4.3, I can't overclock my phone anymore. If I change the mhz of any P-state, the phone will not use it anymore. My settings were 300/600/900/1200 and my defy was running at max 600mhz. Everything went back to normal at default values. Setvsel or bootmenu doesn't matter. Undervolting still works though. Not sure, if this behavior was there right after flashing. Can anyone confirm/reproduce this?
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I overclocked with overclock.conf, and it's working fine.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Works fine here. Try resetting to default values in bootmenu, save, reboot, and then see if o/c works. If not then use a root explorer to open /system/bootmenu/config/overclock.conf and compare it's contents with the original file from the ROMs zip file, and maybe replace with the one from the zip file.
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
Doesn't work. Setvsel and in the performance settings it reports 1200mhz but I can tell by the performance of the phone that this is wrong. Cpu spy plus and system monitor report 600mhz and pstate 2, when I change only pstate 4, the phone will use max pstate 3 at 800 mhz. I guess I'll have to flash again and see if this fixes it.
[Defy Android Development] Mister Ypsilon:
Maybe ADB logcat shows some useful information to find out why it's bootlooping?
[Defy Android Development] ojas25:
There are few encoderprofile in media_profiles.xml i.e. 720p, high, 480p, etc..

But there is not an option to select video quality in camera.. :(
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
did a full wipe and reflash, still the same. The system is locked at the highest unchanged pstate :(
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
That happens to me with many roms. I believe those kind of apps such cpu spy read the values on overclock.conf to show on theyre ui, and changing values with setvsel for others, those news didn't appear on the app. But the overclocking it's working. Perhaps the right and only way to "see" the changes is modifieing the overclock.conf

I can confirm on the same .Bootloop after flashing it
[Defy Android Development] jassi32:
same for PA 3.99 -- Pure performance mod = bootloop
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Is this development still going? I am using Slimbean and I really like it, it ticks all the boxes for me, but if this is left behind CM10.2 then perhaps should I switch?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
SB4.3 is ahead of Quarx's CM10.2 in terms of HWA disabling, on par with the other guy's CM10.2 build where he has fixed it. So nothing new that I can include from Quarx's/Blechd0se's side, ie development specific to our device.

Official Slimbean hasn't had too many important changes other than device specific ones after build 1 either, so not sure what more you want in terms of development. When Quarx/Blechd0se/Slim team do something, then I can do something too.

As for SB4.2, I will update it when Quarx releases a CM10.1 build. Currently SB4.2 is ahead of CM10.1 too.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Found some time, made a SB4.2 build with the same changelog as Quarx's latest CM10.2, ie gpu overclock etc etc. 720p rec disabled.

Find it in the usual place (:

Slim bean 7.8 was the only 4.2 rom working flawlessly with viper4Android fx and xhifi even while the screen is off.

With 8.1 xhifi doesn't work while screen is locked :confused::confused:

I think we need one more thing , i was on PA 3.99 , somehow , after i shutdown the phone , it didn't booted up (stuck on animation forever), this happened twice with me , when i use another launcher ....

The important thing is

going through rsd and all, i can't directly install any 10.2 roms , tried mokke , pa , quarx , so had to go through old roms any one , old recovery don't support it , so can anything can be done about it, new recovery after root -- ?

[SlimBean] Stuck at logo after power-off (battery empty)

[scroll down for a solution]

Today my battery drained and phone went off. I managed to turn it back on, but after some time it powered off again. Since then it won't boot, it's stuck at SlimBean logo with green led turned on. (I charged the battery in the meantime)

Tried wiping cache and dalvik cache several times, but no luck.

Is there anything more I could try to fix this, besides wipe data? (Reflashing the rom also didn't help)

SOLUTION: (using TWRP)

1) Wipe cache & dalvik cache

2) Mount

/data

3) From the TWRP File Manager (in Advanced menu) navigate to

/data/system/usagestats/

and delete the two zero-byte files:

- usage-history.xml

- usage-201xxxxx (the file corresponding to the latest date; usage-20131006 in my case, for 6th of October 2013)

4) Reboot (it will now boot normally, and no data is lost)

This took me hours of experimenting, hope it'll help someone :)
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
flash another ROM maybe. Or then you'll have flash sbf :/
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Take a data backup with TWRP and use nandroid manager to restore data.

No one stopped you from trying :)
[Defy Android Development] shrek8421:
2G network signal not available.

[MENTION=4173406]Kayant[/MENTION]: Awesome ROM and great work. Keep up the good work.

I am now using illusion and it is absolutely brilliant.

Fast, almost lag-free and nice customizations.

Just one issue: I just cannot get 2G signal. On 3G everything works well but on 2G no network.

I fixed the baseband but still no luck.

Anyone seen the same issue?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
Viper4android works flawlessly on Illusion 2.1, loving the sound quality.

I'm with Slim 4.2 now and I must say it's the best rom ever. For me is faster and more stable than cm7 (in menus, receiving calls, pictures everything). The battery life seams to be a little shorter (few hours less) so I tried to change the basseband, but with anything other than Europe 3.4.x I have a lot of restarts (probably the RIL thing), so I stay with that and live happy like never before. Thanks
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
Big thanks to TJKV, Kayant, Quarx and all for bringing Slimbean to the Defy. SB was my daily rom under the Samsung Galaxy S, but that phone just died, and I had to pick up a new phone quick. Luckily, I found a cheap Defy+, which is well-appreciated here, where it's still rainy season and the typhoons are still coming.

First question, as I'm getting acclimated to the Defy+ and it's version of Slim: Where is the 'slide across status bar to control brightness'? I can't find it in the menus, and the settings chart doesn't help.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I'll upload build 1.8 soon, only slimbean changes compared to build 1. Check slimbean.net for more details.

EDIT: Goofed something up, will probably make it tomorrow.

I guess they have removed that feature, no clue. I used to use it too...
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
In Slim 4.2 you can find it in >Settings >Interface >Notification drawer >Power widget >Brightness slider location (the last one down the list).

Don't know about other Slims
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
That's not the same thing, status bar is what you see before sliding down the drawer. But I guess slim guys removed the status bar option because the notification drawer option is there too.

Anyway SB4.3 Build 1.8 uploaded. Slimroms team changes(slimroms.net for details) + a few from Blechd0se for the kernel.

In other OT news, the devs of the awesome v4a app released viper4windows, See here :)
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
oh -- it's actually there under Settings > Interface > Status Bar, it's just grayed out. Auto-brightness is now default, so uou have to go to Settings > Display > Brightness first and uncheck that, and then back under Status Bar, brightness control becomes available.

And thumbs up for v1.8! Very smooth.
[Defy Android Development] jangers:
Where can I get RootBox for the Defy?
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Rootbox isn't ported yet to our device. Kayant experienced some problems which he could not fix while porting, so he instead went for other ROMs like Illusion and PA.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Today, I rebooted my phone and i was surprised when the boot took over 10 minutes to complete:confused:. Finally, the phone booted up, with my data all gone. I was on Slimbean 4.3 build 1 for about 7 days and this suddenly happened.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Sounds like the data partition bug to me. Had you done anything like installing/uninstalling apps before restarting, or any other operation? Not that I can do anything to help unfortunately, but asking just in case.
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
This rom/build is the best so far! I have no issues at all with it, fast and stable :) I think I might stick with this for a while. Thx a lot for this!
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I had changed my baseband through baseband switcher, I rebooted, and boom - data corruption.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Rebooted by pressing "OK" in the popup that comes after switching? That reboot seems to be a sudden one too, like the guys in the CM10.2 thread were explaining. I think such sudden shutdowns and reboots need to be avoided, that's what everyone has concluded so far it would seem.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Yes, it was a sudden reboot. Happens all the time with baseband switcher.
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
[MENTION=4854448]hotdog125[/MENTION] And this also could possibly lead to losing IMEI? I think this is what you were referring to here. I was wondering, could this also lead to losing serial number? I just noticed that that's gone now. I'm not sure if that's something that is absolutely necessary or desirable to have, but so far it hasn't interfered with my calling or network access.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Not related. You need to reboot until imei comes back, and yes like you said missing imei in status won't cause any problems. Happens to me too...
[Defy Android Development] mGforCe:
I couldn't get baseband switcher working on SB 4.3 1.8, can any one provide any suggestions?

Update

Firstly I want to thank [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] for going to provide you guys will 4.3 awesomeness :)

Sorry I have not being able to get into making a new thread or uploading new builds for you guys :(.... I will try to get to that soon. So far I have been testing CB & PA and PA works really well on our device, CB works ok but not as good. I have also being looking around and seeing what roms I could add to the table so what I have decided is to go with PA support fully as most people like it and we can all agree it works great on the defy. Am also looking into Omni rom as it I feel it's going to be great & with have some unique features like multi-window also they're going to be supporting legacy devices like ours well so my work should be minimal & hopefully they will add some tweaks to help legacy devices like ours with low ram & single core cpus.

With that said I look forward into bringing an updated build of PA soon and test build of Omni. Also will test CB more to see if it should stay.

Also my sis got a new killer laptop which I can use & have been using ;) and with it builds are 2-3x faster - i7 FTW :)

For more on Omni - http://xdaforums.com/omni
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
I was looking into multi-window feature some time ago, and I don't think that would look good on our smallers screens, but Omni looks very promising. And of course, PA is the one thaht many of us love and want it... especialy with the latest advances in kernel development. And my thought is if you already have a CB rom builded, let the users give you an opinion. Looking forward for any of this roms. Thanks Kayant..
[Defy Android Development] armaldon:
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I am not sure whether the problem is the SlimBean zip or something else in my install.

After I accidentally wiped my phone, I was forced to reinstall it from factory settings, using the following procedure:

1 - rsd-lite base file, with cache/factory wipe/reset DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF.sbf.gz

2 - rsd-lite the firmware.zip file (again with wipe/reset)

[Phone is properly rooted and works here]

3 - install 2nd init (SndInitDefy_2.3.apk)

4 - install TRWP from within the first custom recovery (install zip, openrecovery-twrp-2.1.1-jordan-signed.zip from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/91)

5 - when I try to install Slim-mb526-4.3.build.1.8-UNOFFICIAL-20131015-2303.zip using TPRW I get the following error:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 0)

* Verifying filesystems....

* Verifying partition sizes...

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update/Slim-mb526-4.3.build.1.8-UNOFFICIAL-20131015-2303.zip'

If I try to install the zip using the old custom recovery (Cyanogen Recovery v5.0.3.1), I get this instead after selecting the zip file:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Error in /sdcard/update/Slim-mb526-4.3.build.1.8-UNOFFICIAL-20131015-2303.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

The whole error message makes me think the problem might be the version of the custom recovery. However, the GooManager application does not find any openrecovery script for my defy plus. So if I am right and the problem is the version of the zip files used for updating, how can I get my TWRP up to version 2.6?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
[MENTION=3582531]armaldon[/MENTION]

Do not install TWRP after the 2ndinit app step. Instead flash an android 4.1 or 4.2 based ROM, reboot, enter recovery and then flash SB4.3. This is an issue with all android 4.3 ROMs for our device, they need a newer recovery like you guessed. So flashing a 4.1 or 4.2 ROM first gives you a new enough recovery.
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
Flash any cm10 build before that sb. The problem comes, as you thought, with the custom recovery version

Enviado desde mi MB526 usando Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] armaldon:
Thanks, I'll get Quark's CM10 latest file to get through this obstacle. Could it not be possible for somebody to craft an update .zip file that can be used to install a more recent version of TWRP on our Defy from the post-root CWM recovery one (something like that should even be pinned in these forums)? This hurdle will be met by all newcomers to rooting their Defy, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere as far as I know.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
The best solution is to update the Sndinitdefy apk to include the newest CWM or TWRP recoveries. I had tried doing it myself once but I don't know enough about how the recovery works to get it to work properly :(
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
FWIW, after rooting my Defy+ with BL7, I flashed Sndinitdefy 2.0, and then in recovery flashed the Aroma Formatter & Wiper 2.0. Straight from there I flashed Slimbean, and everything seems fine.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
What Slimbean version, 4.2 or 4.3? What I said applies to 4.3 ROMs only.
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
I went straight to Slimbean 4.3, v1.8.

And sorry, I should've quoted you in this post. Also, I'm not trying to intentionally suggest people try alternate or non-recommended methods. Just saying what steps I ended up taking that worked, after putting together bits and pieces through trial and error and troubleshooting. Somehow, this worked.

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes, of course. But the bugs in the brackets (ones with fixes available but not present in the latest CM10.2) are fixed in Build 2. They are:

6. Mobile data drops fixes (slugzero ril, and removal of skipbrokendatacall from build.prop)

20. WiFi tethering fix

Also kernel has a fix for bug 13 included, this commit by Blechd0se.

Yes, except for maybe bug 11.

Well I sometimes get that preview bug so I dunno about that. I should try that patch though, had slipped my mind. But I am not sure the linked patch is for this particular bug, the commit doesn't have much info in it.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I'd like to express my thanks to you TJKV for introducing Slim. I like it so much I have installed it also on my Nexus 7.2. It ticks all the boxes.

Just a question: Are there useable defaults in all the places where adjustments can be made? I am over tweaking everything, I'm fine with using defaults if these are good ones.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Not sure what you mean...
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Just wanted to ask if the default values for memory, kernel tweaking etc are good to go as-is. Or is there some variable somewhere that would produce good improvements. I already disable HWA for most apps except the ones that need it.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Oh yeah, I use mostly defaults, blechd0se has done a wonderful job with the kernel etc. I just overclock a bit. Apart from that the usual apps like greenify, 'disable services', adblock etc.

Sent from my MB526
[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Thank you for those kind words, really appreciate that :)

Just to want to ask something; do you still experience those ehci_pm wakelocks with the new kernel?

And how is data connection anyway? Improved? Not improved?

Just wanted to ask you for feedback, since you are those with the latest kernel out there :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
No problem :)

I haven't really tested for the battery drain on the latest kernel where you have removed the wakelocks completely. I have experienced the characteristic battery drain occasionally (once a month maybe), but have never investigated it. However I have installed BetterBatteryStats now, if at all I see that drain I will let you know.

About the data connectivity, the phone loses data connection every hour just as before. But now most of the time the phone realizes this itself, and attempts to reconnect. It loses all connectivity for a few seconds, reconnects to the network, then after a minute or so data is back.

That happens MOST of the time. Sometimes (after maybe 6 data drops and reconnects), it fails to reconnect. Then I have to manually toggle data on/off, airplane mode on/off etc to recover. I really want to spend a day getting logs for these events, but I have not found the time to do so yet. Either way it is highly likely my carrier is at fault too. They offer pretty good service, and at low prices, but they are kind of new.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION], how do we enable 720p video recording in the latest Slim? I could not find a way to enable it in the camera app.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Latest sb4.3 should record 720p by default, does so here. I can change it between 480p and 720p within the app. Just look within the longpress popup "arc settings".

overnight shutdowns

Am I the only one possibly getting the overnight battery drain? Happened to me yesterday morning, where the phone was shut off when I woke. I believe the battery percentage was around the 60s when I went to bed. So I put it on a charger, and it showed the battery was down to zero. This morning I woke up and my phone was on; a few hours later, it had shut down and was pretty warm. I took the battery out so that in some weird voodoo way it might cool down faster (although, it wasn't outrageously hot or anything). In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have, as now the battery monitor begins with this current boot. Also, I started off with 74% battery. So, if it's not a battery drain issue again, then it was at least a random shutdown (but not reboot).

I guess to get a logcat of this, I need to have ADB on overnight?

I have a Defy+, running SB build 2.
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
Using the Defy in 3G network mode on some networks (ex. Cosmote) keeps this phone hot and eats your battery in few hours
[Defy Android Development] groksteady:
Thanks; I'm not sure if I was connected to 3G two nights ago, although I don't think I was because I was home. I definitely was not connected to 3G, or even WiFi, this morning when it shut down (and was hot).
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
Is there a 4.3 Pac for the Defy? Asking because I don't see one and I like having the same rom on all my phones.

If there isn't then let me know and I'll start on it when I get out of the hospital. Really asking because the Bravo doesn't have crap for roms anymore, and if I do it for them then ya'll get it too. Sources are all the same other than the miniscule differences in the device and proprietary repos.

Also, any 4.3 quirks with the platform nowadays. Just been awhile since I've been around these parts and don't want to read hundreds of posts to figure out what a power user could tell me in a paragraph.

Thanks.
