Honestly, I haven't had the telephony error again since I replaced defyparts.apk a few days ago, so I haven't been able test it, but Quarx's fix for that issue was in defyparts, so I'm confident it will work.

Edit: The telephony layer crashed again today, and I can now confirm that the phone reboots properly, as expected. :good:

Hi I have thought about putting the old Defy on Kitkat but all of the downloads are for the MB526 [Defy +] what about my MB525 [Defy] can I use the MB526 files? Mine is GSM

not

CDMA so can someone tell me if those files are available somewhere? Are there files for the Thanks
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
You need to read up more before asking. There's only one build for both Defy and Defy+. It doesn't matter if it is GSM or CDMA.

the processors are different thats why I was curious its been a long time since I played with this phone. thanks again

Slimkat 4.8 out with most bug fixing

We are all waiting for your slimkat build .
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
Yeahh Slim 4.8 is out..!! TJKV :D
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
Are you guys going to beg for an update everytime there is a slimrom-update? That's not very kind. No point in building every slimversion anyway as long as there isn't anything important happening on the Quarx/Blechd0se-side of things.

Patience people
[Defy Android Development] deysmacro:
It is sad that they don't realized that SlimKat needs a proper commit to get it working. SlimKat is not meant for Defy/Defy+ but TJKV made it look like it. :D

hi,

does aero control show cpu states correctly?

It seems my fon doesnt enter deep sleep.

which tool do you recommend nowadays for wakelock hunting?
[Defy Android Development] atulclassic:
toggle airplane mode on/off once every reboot to enable deep sleep
[Defy Android Development] qx876:
Thx for that tip, but sadly it doesnt seem to work.

Gonna try with cachewipe/non OC now.

Is it possible to use /cache for swap? Is there any benefit in performance?

If you want to use swap, the trade-off is its performance. Badly reduced to the point no need to use swap.
[Defy Android Development] armaldon:
Anybody here uses Llama (location aware profiles)? I've had a problem with it for some months now, and I finally wanted to solve it, and it appears to be a problem with Android.

Whenever Llama tries to set/disable airplane mode, it freezes for a bit and assumes it failed (when it actually worked). Checking CatLog, the following backtrace is actually produced:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean
at android.os.Bundle.getBoolean(Bundle.java:864)
at android.content.Intent.getBooleanExtra(Intent.java:4490)
at com.kebab.Llama.LlamaService.HandleAirplaneModeChange(LlamaService.java:1208)
at com.kebab.Llama.LlamaService.HandleIntent(LlamaService.java:893)

I don't think I can get access to the Llama code to see what is the actual string passed to getBooleanExtra, but it seems to be a bug in the Android OS if it is triggering an exception instead of returning something :s

(from http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html )

Can others reproduce this? Should I try contacting the Llama developer? Or is this actually a bug in Android (or SlimKat..???). What puzzles me is this should be a very easy to catch/fix bug, yet it's been unfixed for several months for me :(

[Defy Android Development] Facuu:
guys, i'm gonna flash kk to my friend's phone so as it's not mine i can't make a lot of testing, and there are two options, slimkat or cm 11 , which one is the most stable right now? and maybe more battery friendly?

both of them are using the same kernel right? 3.x kernel or 2.x kernel?

if you are using one of another, could you tell me why? so i can choose, thanks a lot!
[Defy Android Development] Vioner:
First of all, I'm not using any of them, but my friend temporairly has Quarx's CM11. It's NIGHTLY, so an unstable build and my friend signs under that. He experiences some issues that affect telephony and basic phone features.

This SlimKat is said to be stable and I believe it. I'd try the stable build v4.0

My friend will flash his phone in a few days with the build I'm recommending you.

I took May 3rd nightly, I had few FCs but globally it is very usable and stays smooth even with lots of apps installed (/data almost full)
[Defy Android Development] Vioner:
I believe you, but nightly is still nightly. Quarx still hasn't recommended/pointed the most stable build.

Stable to me is when there are no random reboots, no telephony problems no freezes when receiving calls or calling, no problems with texting - that is what essential and not so long ago Quarx's builds had annoying problems with that. 5secs until screen shows who's calling...

That is why I recommend SlimKat just for now.

I wouldn't risk my nerves until Quarx points s stable release.

BTW. Great job guys. This phone runs KitKat even better than Galaxy S Advance. I'm really impressed.

[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
First: CM7.2 it's the last custom ROM out there that is considered stable. Especially when it is for someone who does not want to update at least monthly.

Second: this is a developer's thread, so please don't ask these questions here, since it just doesn't belong here.

You have reached the end of the internet.

PROBLEM

Hi,

I installed ROM following instructions in the 2nd post and I got stuck on bootloader.

I also stucked on bootloader in my previous ROM, so this was reason why I tried to flash this SlimKat to solve my problem..

Any help?
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:

[Defy Android Development] usrbowe:

Meanwhile I flashed rooted SBF, formated all partitions and installed SlimKat again. Then I waited 5 minutes and SlimKart stared. So there was some problem with my partitions (cahce, dalvik cache).

Phone kept crashing every now and then on 3.6 - 4.0 (telephony thingie crashes and random reboots)

But what has happened today is beyond me...

Phone crashed again and reverted itself automatically to Slimkat 1.4 (it was the last backup done with TWRP)

My jaw just dropped to the floor....:eek:
[Defy Android Development] Facuu:
hey i managed to get 3g finally! but now i was trying to tweak some things with aero kernel, but i can't overclock, is it disabled on slimkat 4.0 ? o how can i change frequencies and choose something higher than 1000 mhz? and set different vsels too?

thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
Today I feel heat my defy and when I check Defy was in TWRP by self in wipe option waiting slide confirmation. I surprise because I was reading about one case like this but never happens to my before.

When defy reboot infirm my about the auto reboot by RIL problem.

I can live Whit some ril problem time by time, bit I can't accept that the phone wipe alone.

I really want return to old and safe blue light + vol- button for goto boot menu or recovery....

Edit: I'm still using v 4.0.

Not to mention above problem, all other functions working well and my defy have a good stability.

Only feel some stability lost when turn on localization option from main setting menu.

Maybe the WiFi don't work solid that other versions.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does one do this? I've been trying to add the decompressed newer .apk to the older version 4 zip file from within windows, but get an "invalid file" message about the zip archive.

How do you do it?
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
You can do it before flashing, or after the rom is already installed and running.

Method 1: before flashing

Install 7-zip on your PC (if you don't have it already).

Right-click on the SlimKat zip file and select 7-zip > Open archive. (Don't extract it; just open it.)

Navigate to System > app (using 7-zip).

Drag and drop the new DefyParts.apk there, replacing the old one.

Method 2: on the phone

Make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.

Then replace DefyParts.apk in System > app using ES File Explorer or any other root-enabled file explorer.

Fix permissions, then reboot. (To fix permissions using ES File explorer, select the file and press More > Properties, and change the permissions to rw- r-- r-- by selecting "Read" and "Write" for Owner, and "Read" for Group and Other.)

Edit: In case anyone else needs it, here is a link to download the newer DefyParts.apk.
[Defy Android Development] ricketyclik:
Thanks Proverbs, that worked. Just a note to anyone else following those directions, in method 1 the apk in the zip file being copied from needs to be decompressed (extracted) first.
[Defy Android Development] Da Avenger:
first and foremost , thank you tjkv for your development efforts on making Slimkat happen on our good 'ol Defy.

I was using build 3.85 ,everything was stable and smooth except for the barcode scanner force close(minor thing really)."

decided to jump to 4.6 yesterday (did system wipe , flashed it-got failed,tried your fix ,still got failed,but when i booted it all seemed to go right)

my query is - the status bar is not transparent as you had mentioned it on 4.0 changelog -is it not there in 4.6?

no sound from speaker

Hi I installed 2014/04/07 and though a bit slow is great for my use but i was wondering if anyone is not getting sound from the speaker? plugging into headphone socket works fine, so not overly worried, just curious if it was just needed a little manipulation? thanks
[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
The speaker works fine for me, check your sound settings maybe?

I'm getting a weird issue last days. It's a 2nd time when I woke up and my Defy was completely frozen... The phone was charged in 100% and charging LED was lighting even if I unplugged the charger. Anyone with similar problem or it's just me?

Two days ago my Defy lost the wakeup alarm. When I check the phone, I could not wake him up and I had to get the battery.

When I finally rebooted and open my Defy, the battery charge showed 66%, even it was charging the all nigth.

Then I put it on charge again and to my surprise a few minutes later was at 100%.

After that I decide to made a wipe cache & dalvik...this seems to have improved somewhat but now I have more lag than before. :(

Edit. I am using version 4.0

[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] can u please tell us that when will be the next build will appear?

Lots of changes are made by Slimkat and CM11. So it would be nice to use latest features.

Thanks in advance :)
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
Immediately after people will stop asking ETA :). The changes in slimroms are not enough for a new build, we need some work from Quarx to and he is in the middle of a lot of testing.. I wouldn't mind to have the next slimkat with kernel 3.

Btw, the current version of slimkat 4.6 is extremely stable for me (but I use it with no gapps, and I've replaced every useful app that comes with the rom with a custom one ex: camera, browser, gallery, video, launcher, clock, file manager )

Quick questions

Im having problems with slimkats task manager, it never shows the recent app (only after the 2nd try)

Can I do something to make it work correctly? Or does someone know a relacement lightweight taskswitcher that I can initiate with the home button (not some gesture based thingie)?

A second thing, Id love to have that cm “hold back button to kill app" feature back, is this doable without mayor modifcations or gesture based things.

(While we still have hardware buttons we could well take them to good use)

Cheers

Edit: silly me just found the kill last app option in the settings, weee.

So its down to the taskswitcher issue.

Slimrom is getting fatter and fatter with features
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Did you check their download size? There has been a less than 1% increase between release 3 and 4, and essentially no difference (<80k) between 4 and 5. So while there may be lots of features, it certainly is not fat or bloated.

deep sleep after charging doesn't work with wifi on

I have problem with deep sleep on my defy+ (latest slimkat) - it stops using deep sleep after charging.

Switching airplane mode on/off doesn't help (but deep sleep works while on airplane mode), I have to reboot to make deep sleep works.

If I turn wifi off, deep sleep works.
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
I had a similar problem on almost every rom since CM7, and I had been using this app as a workaround. You could try that. The deep sleep bug rarely occurs for me anymore, though, so I can't test it. (I'm using SlimKat 4 at the moment, and I'm not using the Wifi Timeout workaround.) Maybe that's because I rarely plug my phone into a charger; I just use a standalone wall charger and swap batteries.

Hi

Im currently using Cm7.2 , its stable and best for daily use ..

Now i wish to have a JB version which is Stable for me

Is SLIMBEAN 4 Stable for daily use .. Im Confused with term Stable in "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat (jordan) [STABLE 4.0] [Weekly 3.85] [Unofficial] >"

Is that means the ROM Is stable ?

I dnt wanna try and update nightly after Flashing a rom ..

I jst need a stable one ...
[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
It means, the official SlimKat 4.0 is stable, but I'm on 4.0 from some months and it works great for me. Only had to replace DefyParts.apk from 4.6 to fix reboot to recovery bug. I'll upload a flashable zip if you want.

Q1. U mean slimbean 4.6?

Q2. What abt battery back up. I dont use phone for gaming but watches movies somtimes and little messages .
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
No, you need DefyParts.apk from SlimKat build 4.6. I uploaded the apk to my dropbox, here. Download it and follow the instructions in this post.

I'm not sure what you mean by battery back up. Are you asking how the battery life compares to other roms? That will depend on your performance settings and usage, of course, but IMHO the battery life is pretty good. I easily get 2+ days with light usage (little wifi/data) and 1 day with moderate-heavy usage.

Speaking of battery back up, I have several extra batteries that I keep charged with an external wall charger, so I never have to plug my phone into a charger. :good:

My experience with Slimkat

Just confirming again my experience with SlimKat rom

Started couple of months ago with beta 1.4 which was rock stable for me, it was so good that I did not bother to update for a long time...

Finally updated from 1.4 to 3.6 (clean install), but I had constant problems and random reboots.

Tried 3.8, 3.85, 4.0 with same effect (clean install each time), it was full month of frustration with random reboots, crashes and boot loops.

Reverted to 1.4 beta.. on the 8th of May (exactly month ago) and guess what.. phone is rock stable again.. uptime 31 days! :good: :cowboy:

I have not tried any other roms in between....
[Defy Android Development] ricketyclik:
Thanks for the input DrLamok. Is there much of a functionality difference between 1.4 and the later versions? (I've also had stability issues with 4.0).
