[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION], I noticed that this fix isn't yet included on your GitHub.

When you have time, it would be great if you could add that fix so that the phone reboots normally (instead of booting into recovery) after a BP panic. I haven't been experiencing any such reboots on your rom anyway, but just in case... ;)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes that is from yesterday, I haven't had time this week yet. I usually merge all repos (quarx and slim) just before building, then sync+build and go to bed, next morning upload if it has built succesfully or fix any errors and let it build again while I head to college...
[Defy Android Development] souviktherocker:
:good: thanks a lot now its working fine... ;)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Great! Will be included in next build.
[Defy Android Development] rol525:
Last version is awesome, excellent battery life, smooth, apps work fine.

Pd:it´s me or slim multitask not work properly? (sometimes i can´t remove a app)
[Defy Android Development] brolic925t:
I can never have mine smooth. Even with greenify boot manager and 1250 clock. I give up -_-
[Defy Android Development] deysmacro:
Even when it is clean install? Mine is just simply awesome with everything, latest build. :D
[Defy Android Development] stirlitz99:
Also would say a CLEAN install should work... Try v3.6... Perfectly and smoothly working for me.
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
is the translucent status bar back ?

if yes, please temme
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Nope.

But its really easy to enable it.

Even I was hesitant at first, but its really very easy. :)
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
can u explain how to do it ? please :)
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
open bluid.prop

find this line... ro.config.low_ram=true to false

example this: ro.config.low_ram=false

save, and reboot
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
Well the defy is old now and wasn't even one of the faster phones, when it was released. It will never be as smooth or snappy as phones are nowadays but compared to ICS or JB, Kitkat gives the defy wings :)
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Easiest way is to download Aero Control app from the play store.

Open it and under memory tuning, enable and then disable the "Low Memory" option.

Then reboot :)

Done :D
[Defy Android Development] no_means_no:
Now I did that, but without success. Wanted to do a factory reset, was stuck on M logo, started all over from sbf etc. then flashed latest 4.0, but my battery percentage still shows crazy things. Always different from TWRP.

Status of ROM

Hi guys,

I've read through the thread but could not find any major issues reported.

I'm currently on a Quarx CM10 from 20130117, so quite old.

Wanted to update to KitKat, but only if there are no major bugs like WiFi dropouts or call drops.

Any hints would be great.

Thanks

p.s.: I have a MB525 with Bayer lens.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
No WiFi drops.

No call drops.

Hardly any issues, except for the fact that screen takes a few seconds to wake up when u receive a call. :)

You're on CM10, so do flash the latest recovery. That's it :)
[Defy Android Development] mmbytes:
Have that at the moment also, so unfortunately used to that already :(

So no need for "defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip", can't recall which one I have. Is KitKat depending on something?

Just flash:

defy_safewipe.zip

Slim-mb526-4.4.2.build.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140407-2344.zip

minimal_Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.x.zip

And that's it?
[Defy Android Development] mmbytes:
Hurray, phone bricked in red M screen... :(

Could someone please post the link to the thread how I go from here, did the sfb stuff years ago.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Lord_Flaya:
You do need to update recovery when coming from cm10. There is a thread on updating to cm11, just search. :)

And yes, you need TWRP 2.6.3.0. KitKat won't upgrade with 2.6.0. ... so start your list with that.
[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
Excuse me, may be I lost some comment, there are any problem with GPS? I try use it for first time today in v.4 and I can't made to work properly.

I ear something about interference between WiFi & GPS but not in slimkat.

[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
No such problem for me. Here in my living room (indoors and not very close to the window) I get a GPS fix within a few seconds, with or without wifi enabled. 11 satellites visible.

Edit: It would be helpful to describe in more detail the problem you are having. Does it just take a really long time to get a GPS fix, or are you unable to get a fix at all? If the latter, does your GPS detect any satellites? (You can use an app like this to check how many satellites are detected.)

we are waiting for the battery percentage and quarx changes latest build in 720p recording works .we are waiting for the u r latest build
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
I can confirm, this is working. Thanks! I have one issue though. Everytime I try to reboot the phone, it seems like the phone isn't shuting down completely. The screen goes black and then the phone freezes. I have to pull the battery.
[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
Is it possible to apply this patch by replacing files without building and flashing rom again? Stable 4.0 (07.04) work's great, but this bug happened for me today, so I overslept and missed work :P

edit: ok, I just replaced DefyParts.apk with latest DefyParts.apk from Quarx. It should help, am I right? How can I simulate BP panic to test it out?

edit2: meh, I've lost device settings in the menu, have to revert it back to the SlimKat one.
[Defy Android Development] rahul9871:
TJKV please release new version of Slimkat :(
[Defy Android Development] jh20:
yes, i had that problem too. i ended up having to shut down the phone and then re-starting it up, instead of rebooting. looks like it's a bug that need fixing.
[Defy Android Development] deysmacro:
There are times that it is working but unfortunately I forgot which build.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Phone freezes and reboots when I scroll to the left from inside the Camera app (to get photo thumbnails), and view the newest photo.

Anybody else?

I'm on a green lens.

Started having telephony layer reboots during nights two days ago, and still havent found any reason as to why.. Will make further research and try to get a useful log aswell.
[Defy Android Development] Sabre-F100:
After few restart, i figured out.

Removed all zero length and the "*.tmp" files from /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera

seems gallery goes back to normal.

but if i click in upper right corner /Camera app/, freeze+restarts itself again.

After that, Open Hwa Settings app and uncheck "Gallery".

and working as expected

have new issue -- BROWSER forced closed and WIFI shows 'not in range'... after a reboot it working fine again... after few hours same problem occurred...:confused:

Thanksss :fingers-crossed::good:
[Defy Android Development] deysmacro:
Not gonna happen if you make it sound like he doesn't know when to update.

Never ask, and you will see the update when he feels it is ready for release. :good:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
^^ What he said :p

I have built 4.2, 4.4, 4.6 etc but was not happy with them. Haven't tested 4.6 so I can upload if you guys promise to give me useful feedback.
[Defy Android Development] deysmacro:
Put it as beta and hopefully no crying babies out there. :D

Only professional feedbacks. :cool:
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
That would be great! :good:

By the way, are you planning to update the stable 4.0 build? IMHO, the only major issues with that build were the camera problems (no HD video recording) and the fact that the phone automatically rebooted into recovery after a telephony layer crash, instead of rebooting normally. Since both of those issues have been solved, it would be awesome to have an updated 4.0 build that I could recommend to some of my family members who also have DEFYs. :D
[Defy Android Development] fabiosarts:
i've tryed ART, just curiosity, but i just got bootloop, i was looking for a solution on google, then i've found a setprop command which i did on Team Work Recovery and it's rebooting right now (just the caching process is very slow, even the app number is 77)

i just did what the post sayd

setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libdvm.so

then i've deleted cache and dalvik, i hope it helps to someone which try or tryed to change to ART and the phone rejects to boot again : 3

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
On SB4.3 and below, I had noticed that system_server would take up a lot of RAM (adb shell procrank) as the uptime increased beyond a day or so and under settings->apps->running you could see the free/cached memory become smaller and smaller until everything starts crashing, forcing you to reboot to get rid of the "lag".

Good news is that I haven't noticed this in SK, even after a relatively long uptime I see the running apps stats look normal with about 200MB available for caching. But I have enabled the lowmem device flag in build.prop using Aero Control. Does anyone have feedback on this (with or without the flag), how is it going on your devices after an uptime of 1 day (without rebooting or hot booting that is)? You can check using the adb command i mentioned above or under running apps in settings when you just boot up the device versus after a day since boot up.
[Defy Android Development] ebol94:
I have a huge problem. After using 1 hour of internet connection, data drops and then it won't reconnect, I have to reboot in order to get signal again.-

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Build 1.6 (version 4.4.2) is uploading, along with the necessary gapps. From my side reboot to recovery is fixed. Also check out the slimroms changes here

Only remaining bug from my side is FM radio I guess :)

Please Implement the Blechd0se Sweep2wake enable in our SlimKat
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
This is a Kernel 3.0 feature. SlimKat is still on 2.6 cause 3.0 is far from stable!
[Defy Android Development] LI-NING:
awsome，the new build is very fast.but i cannot find where the defyparts setting is
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I haven't added the baseband switcher fix yet, will add it when Quarx decides which version of it to use. So you can flash the fix with build 1.6 too.

As mentioned before, make a shortcut for it on your homescreen. Search for procedure.
[Defy Android Development] stari_alca:
EDIT: Not quite as I thought... I can send messages to "normal" mobile numbers. I can't pay for parking using their SMS payment service. The number for that is just 103, for example, and that crashes the process mentioned. But in 1.4 I wasn't able to send any SMS. So a quick google search reveals that its apprently a CM11 bug with Short Code SMS sending. Not sure what that means but using automated SMS services is apparently buggy at the moment.

I just installed the 1.6 build. Had 1.4 for about a day. I've read this thread and the 4.4 CM11 thread as well but I don't remember anyone reporting a bug with the messaging. I can't send messages. The same problem with 1.4 and 1.6 of SlimKat. Attempting to send an SMS causes com.android.phone to force close. I lose network for a few seconds and then it connects again. I tried the default messaging app. Installed Hangouts (which I don't usually use) and another 'stock' messaging app called 8sms developed on XDA for KitKat. com.android.phone crashes with any of the three.

Anyone has any ideas where I can look for solution? There is nothing even similar to this in okij's buglist at the CM11 thread.

To install I used the safewipe.zip both before 1.4 and again now before the 1.6 build. I might as well try to install from a SBF flash but could that help in a case like this?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
This happened to me once on 1.4, I assumed it had something to do with the xposed addon for hushsms looking at the logs. I removed it and I don't have the issue anymore. I have been sending smses all day today (on 1.4 build, ironically I haven't had time to update to my own latest build :p).
[Defy Android Development] DrLamok:
[beta 1.4] Fantastic so far...

Defy is my spare phone (been using it for 2 years and upgraded to Moto RAZRi a year ago). It's been on CM7.2 based rom for a long while, as cm10 or cm10.1 never been stable or fast enough for me.

Gave SlimKat 1.4 a try last night, and this is really looking very impressive.. No problems so far.. I'll keep eye on it and report if I find any glitches.

As my Defy is sim-locked, I was bit worried that I may have a problem getting soft unlock to work... but it works just fine (only copied bp_ptc to /system/bin, made sure it's got right permissions and rebooted). Voilla. Done... Is it being run in init by default even it was not included in /system/bin ? I think so.. as I have not edited any init files...

Fantastic so far :)
[Defy Android Development] fattest:
I can't seem to install slimkat on my mb525, coming from latest taki jeden 4.1.2 rom with twrp2.5.0.0. I flashed update-recovery.zip, got a message saying Warning: No file_contents, but eventually succeeded. When I get to flashing the rom it says "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed. Error flashing zip '/xyz.zip'. Any idea why this is happening?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Try upgrading to 4.2 or 4.3 first maybe...

Still no luck installing the latest Quarx CM10.2 w/ TWRP 2.6.3.0 first. Fails with the same set_metadata_recursive message.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Are you sure you used the right procedure?

1. Flash the update-recovery.zip on top of a working 4.2.2/4.3 ROM

2. Reboot

3. Then flash KK
[Defy Android Development] fattest:
Yes this is exactly what I did. Strangely it worked this time, only difference is I didn't do a full wipe/safe wipe unlike the previous attempts now everything is force closing... will try again with a safewipe first.

Edit: so far so good after doing a safewipe then installing rom and gapps. thanks

Installed the build 1.6(4.4.2) yesterday and to be honest the rom is simply awesome. The battery life is good too. Everything is working except the mentioned bugs. I do feel that now this ROM is ready for daily usage. Thanks TJKV for this ROM and also thanks to Quarx, Blechd0se and all the other defy developers for keeping this device going from 2.1 to 4.4 :good: :good: :good:
[Defy Android Development] delight535:
First of all, thank you TJKV for bringing us Slimkat!

My question is: did any of you experience bigger memory leaks compared to Quarx's CM11?

Because Slimbean 4.3 had more memory leaks than Quarx's CM10.2.

Thank you!

[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
See my earlier post here, and TJKV's reply here.

I've only had the issue a couple of times, but I can confirm that the latest slimkat 4.0 build (from April 7th) does indeed reboot into recovery if you let it reboot automatically after a "telephony layer" problem.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Okay go to the d-h.st mirror and download to test build 4.6, along with gapps 4.6. CLEAN INSTALL REQUIRED! (Wipe data and system manually from TWRP before flashing)

Nope I already merged the newer updates. In any case the word stable, apart from not making much sense for the Defy, also doesn't make sense for the other official slim devices because no matter what slim features are always stable. So even the regular 'Weekly Builds' are pretty much as stable as 'Stable Builds'. The slim guys are generally careful about their code and test everything well.
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION], thanks for uploading the 4.6 build! I've downloaded it already, and I'm eager to test it. (Hopefully I'll have time later today.)

You mentioned that you had built 4.2 and 4.4, but were not happy with them. In those builds, did you encounter any new bugs or issues that we should be looking for when we test 4.6, besides the usual known bugs?
[Defy Android Development] DroidBot:
Please go ahead and upload with experimental tag.

I didn't face any telephony problem yet in any build. I had just one problem and that was, if we reboot phone, it wasn't getting on. And this problem was eliminated using GravityBox advance reboot option (for me atleast).

And [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION], please uplaod your latest build, we will try our best to give you usefull feedbacks. We can understand that you don't have that much time. So, just go ahead and upload with caution text i.e experimental build.

Always thankfull of yours for your great support and awesome work. :):good:

The 4.0 build looks very stable and I want to use it for some more days, so I have a question - will replacing DefyParts.apk from build 4.6 fix reboot to recovery issue?

Yay, that's why most of Slim builds are pretty ok for daily use :)
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
I think the messed up batteryreadings are more severe. A couple of pages back, TKJV posted a solution. I don't see the need anymore to update my phone every week like I used to. These builds are fairly stable and complete in a sense, that I don't miss any important features. I think an update once a month or so to get newest improvements by Quarx and Blechd0se is sufficient.

I don't see, how the defy could "grow" any more. It's as fast as one could hope with Kitkat 4.4. I don't know what kernel 3.0 would bring to the table, if it ever reaches stable/useable. And there is F2FS, that will help a lot but I guess it's a lot of work/maybe not possible, just like 3.0.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
You mean despite that error message the build wasinstalled file and the ROM booted?

Yes you can use the defyparts app I guess.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
People who have downloaded the 4.6 build, try this fix:

Open the zip with 7zip or similar, go to /META-INF/com/google/android and open the updater-script with a text editor like Notepad++.

Line 179:

package_extract_file("system/etc/media_profiles_mb526.xml", "system/etc/media_profiles.xml");

change it to:

package_extract_file("system/etc/media_profiles_mb526.xml", "/system/etc/media_profiles.xml");

Basically add a forward slash before the SECOND occurrence of the word 'system'.
