[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION]. These last two days I been flashing all the 4.4.x roms availables for our defy. [MENTION=223539]Stu[/MENTION]q' aosp, [MENTION=4173406]Kayant[/MENTION]' s PA and slimkat 1.7, 1.9 and 1.95. All those roms have the same graphical glitches. Finally I flashed mokee 44.2 (most people don't like it cause they say it has malware, but I flash at my own risk, right?) But The thing is there isn't any glitch! On 15 hours haven't one single graphical problem, so they (mokee guys) must have something on their repos fixing that problem. I'm just saying this because it can be helpful to find a solution. I'm not at my computer and can't post the git links. Later I'll do

Well, quarx CM11 also has no glitches.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
They use the Cyanogenmod frameworks_native branch. Quarx is back, let's see how his next build is, then we'll know for sure.

Hi! This is an awesome port! Respect :) But is there any option to disable high end animations? Because I play some games and this option was useful is JB.

I have found how to fix the graphics glitches: set dpi to 240 in build.prop.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
+1

Edit:

Before changing DPI, every time I'd open QuickPic I'd get those graphic glitches, so I tested with QuickPic. I changed DPI to 240, rebooted, no glitches. Changed it to 220, rebooted, no glitches. Changed DPI back to 213 (as is default on Slimkat), rebooted, no glitches. I don't think it's a specific DPI that fixes the glitch, I think it's the fact that it's changed after reboot that fixes it, could be wrong though; we'll see later on.

Edit 2: Nope, I was wrong. And changing DPI doesn't fix anything either, after a while glitches are back, regardless of the DPI set.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Hmmm, I don't get glitches any more no matter what I do. I also cleared data for play store and rebooted, perhaps that has some bearing... Hard to see how though...
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
So all u did was change the DPI? And all glitches gone?
[Defy Android Development] juried:
My steps :

* Edit build.prop for ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (was 213)

* Reboot

* wipe data for play store to prevent app incompatibilities

* reboot again

[edit] OK after some prolonged playing around I get some mild artifacts, but nothing like it was before. With dpi=213 Nova settings were almost useless so garbled. So I did get some stuff back... Then I remembered that I have HWA enabled for Nova. So I disabled it, glitches gone, but a bit stuttery. Then enabled HWA again, all good again. So it could be something to do with that.
[Defy Android Development] sepp.:
Sorry, but in struq's AOSP 20131220 this setting is original 240 :confused:

# grep ro.sf /system/build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=240

and there are graphic glitches
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes, also in Kayant's ROMs.

Disabling HWA for apps that don't have a UI (most system apps) reduces these glitches to maybe once a day at max for me. This in on build 1.95.

Build 2 is incoming soon.
[Defy Android Development] mayur2j:
Hope to see 29-12 CM11 Quarx build changes too in Slimkat Build 2. :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Last build for 2013 uploaded, happy new year guys :)
[Defy Android Development] justjr:
But it's already 2014, maybe first ROM of 2k14? Happy new year everybody!
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Nope compiled in 2013, just posted about it in 2014 cos I was busy yesterday obviously :P
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
the new update, already integrated to the rom? "battery fix update"

Or you can use the update in slim?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
It already includes the fix, I compiled after quarx made the fix. Check Changelog in OP for details
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
update-for-20131229.zip..!!

OK, thanks TJKV,
[Defy Android Development] mGforCe:
Hi,

Just to confirm the new ROM is : Slim-mb526-4.4.2.beta.2-UNOFFICIAL-20131231-1848.zip & is on dev-host server only.

Happy New Year wished to all DEFY Users.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Check again, I see it on both. Upload completed some time back on androidfilehost.

And androidfilehost displays the upload time as 1st Jan 2014 12:01 AM :D

It's probably the first ROM upload of the year :highfive:
[Defy Android Development] mGforCe:
Yup, I see it on androidfilehost too..However, dnloaded from dev-host already, Time to update defy now ;) Thanks a lot for all the developments this year.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Graphical glitches still there? :eek:
[Defy Android Development] xtmzone:
Option to disable high end animations? it's on ? maybe next build :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Download Blechd0se's Aero kernel app from play store and enable the low mem flag under memory manegement
[Defy Android Development] DragonautMk:
Doing an full or safefy wipe before updating Rom, it goes much better :)

I think "Fix Panorama" means that glitches are fixed.
[Defy Android Development] xtmzone:
Thanks , i will try :)
[Defy Android Development] adistf:
Graphical glitches still here :(
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
Graphical glitches & battery drain

i have also Graphical glitches and battery drain very important...

Someone tested the battery fix .. in this rom ... and see if it works..?
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
TJKV already mentioned that the fix is included, read before u post
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
good

That does not answer my question ... :rolleyes:

I know it has the integrated battery update .. but had excessive battery consumption, install the fix of Quarx and works better .

rom goes very slow ... back to cm11 .. thanks
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Is anyone else on this ROM having an issue in which Whatsapp notification volume remains the same regardless of the notification volume set in Android?

Trying to figure out if it's a ROM issue or Whatsapp issue; have installed a different Whatsapp version and problem remains the same, and I don't recall this issue existing on CM 11.
[Defy Android Development] antarix:
[MENTION=4864817]Antiga Prime[/MENTION] does this rom still have graphical glitches?
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
I m having the same issue with whatsapp , didnt had this on cm11

Antarix yes the glitches are still here
[Defy Android Development] antarix:
[MENTION=4917377]Rawwr[/MENTION] ok. Will wait for a build without glitches.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Does it happen only in whatsapp? If it happens in all apps then I might know why but if only whatsapp then i'm not sure.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
It's only happening with Whatsapp. Phone and sms notification volumes are working as expected; Whatsapp volume doesn't change no matter what...

Edit: After sending myself several sms messages while changing the notification volume, all of a sudden WhatsApp volume starts working as intended... what gives... :confused:

Edit 2: Figured it out, unlinking and relinking Ringtone and Notification volume fixes it.

Yes, but I wasn't going to answer you and make an unnecessary post just to answer something you could have seen for yourself by reading a few posts back.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Ah yes, there seems to be a problem with notifications, they are controlled by media volume, not notification volume. I think that is a bug in slim.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, in my case notifications were not controlled by media volume; in any case I can't check now because it's fixed.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Actually it is a bug in jb because I found it on my Xperia Z which is running 4.3. IIRC there is also a xposed module which forces notification sounds to be played in that sound stream, not the media stream.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, I know that Per App Hacking allows you to force apps to play notifications with MediaPlayer, but not the other way around. If you do recall which one it is, please share.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I think it was SMS notification in ringtone. It forced notification into ringtone stream. I didn't use it, like you I also found that unlinking notifications from ringtone fixed the issue for me.
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
I upgraded to the latest build, coming from 1.4 and still have the problem, that the phone won't boot up properly about every second time. The bootanimation just won't appear and the screen stays black forever. Only way to get it working is to wipe cache&dalvik and/or pull battery and wait 10 minutes. I only have this with slimkat since 1.4 (I think the pre 1.4 builds were fine), AOSP and CM11 boot up fine. I always do a fullwipe before flashing.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Never had this nor heard about it. I'm inclined to think it is something that you have added later, some app or tweak. Try on a clean build without anything extra and see. Also get logs...
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I saw this behaviour after installing supersu.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Why would you install supersu?
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
That might be it. I use SuperSU cause Viper4android refuses to work properly with superuser for me.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Ah v4a. I get v4a to work with inbuilt superuser like this:

First set it superuser to auto allow su requests.

Then using adb or terminal emulator, mount system as rw (mount -o rw,remount /system)

Then launch v4a app for the first time, you'll notice it installs perfectly.

Now you can reboot, verify, and change back superuser auto respond to prompt.

This works 100% on my defy. On a friend's nexus, in addition to the above I also had to install it as a system app, then click on the apk using a root explorer and install again so the apk is in both /system/app (manually moved there) and in /data/app (by normal installation by clicking on apk in /system/app). I don't know why it needs to be this convoluted but that's what worked when I tried.

Sent from my MB526
[Defy Android Development] juried:
You can achieve the same by mounting /system rw using any method before installing v4a, eg I use fx file explorer.
[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Whatever method to enable superuser here is not working. I can't use anything that requires root.

Any recommendation or suggestion?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Did you enable root access in Developer Options?
[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Yes. I followed the sequence in the 2nd post through. :(

EDIT: Here's what I just did:

- I reinstalled everything from scratch (rom and gapps)

- Set user and stuff

- Enabled superuser as per 2nd post

- Installed root browser (edited build.prop) and adaway (which requires root) successfully (superuser asked for and allowed both access grants)

- Reboot

- Lost superuser...
[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
When I back up in TWRP I get "Unable to locate /boot partition for backup". Is that expected?
[Defy Android Development] abhinavvaidya90:
Does this ROM stable than 4.4.2 by Quarx ....coz that ROM isnt working too welll for me,so i am thinking to try it
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
why dont u try it yourself ?

dont ask which rom is stable,

i m on cm11 right now cuz the slimkat is facing grapical glitches,

will switch back to SK when glitches are gone

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

no such bug for me at all,

backed up this ROM 3 days ago
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Graphical glitches will be fixed next build :)

I don't known when next build will come though.

[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
This message does not stop the backup process. It's more like a weird warning.

In the same line, when I issue "fix permissions" in TWRP I get an error in xml.
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
well i m eagerly waiting for it,

i was having alot of glitches in it,

why i switched is because

sometimes my mom uses my phone

so i had to move
[Defy Android Development] delight535:
I had the same error, when I backed up my rom. However I had to restore it and did not experience any problems. So I think that is fine, do not worry.

I may be wrong but I suppose we get this error because our bootloader is locked, and TWRP can't get acces to the /boot partition. And 2nd boot has the boot files inside /system partition. But correct me if I am wrong.

So eventually I think we don't have to worry about this error message.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Correct.

We should need to backup only /system and /data on this device. No need to backup the others, may not even work like in the case of /boot.
[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Any other recommendation for the loss of superuser I also reported? That's a weird situation... any log I could generate? Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Android_74:
I'm still using it, glitches are not happening so often, and at least they are fixable.

Maybe slimroms team fixed them with 2.1?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Um...mister, did you read my post that you quoted above? I explicitly said it has been fixed, and will be in the next build. Or am I misunderstanding what you asked?
[Defy Android Development] Android_74:
You didn't say it has been already fixed, you said it will be fixed for the next build. Anyway now i understood what you meant.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I said it will be fixed in next build. And then you ask will it be fixed in next build..@_@
[Defy Android Development] Android_74:
Lol, total misunderstanding :silly:.I thought you meant it will be fixed by you, not slimroms team. That's why i asked if they already fixed it, so you/we don't have to do it.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well I was about to fix it, but then the slim guys beat me to it :p

Anyone facing call drops, in the middle of the call, and black screen while phone is ringing?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
When I was on CM11 it would take a few seconds for the screen to turn on and actually show you who was calling; same thing on PA 4.0-BETA 2014-01-01 build, don't think it's a ROM issue.
[Defy Android Development] neonod:

Well i m on cm11 as well, but charging through My laptop via USB gives me more battery life xD
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Okay guys finished setting everything up, build a build too. I'll upload after next slim weekly comes though as more features are coming from their side. Lots of cool stuff has been added since the last build I uploaded, including custom quick settings tiles and a "Chamber of Secrets" that, once opened (I'm not saying how :p), allows you to create shortcuts to nearly any setting. To learn more you can have a look at this video by it's creator [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION] and refer to Settings.java file here to figure out what strings to enter.

People have done some cool stuff with it already, combining custom tiles and chamber of secrets like this for example. But remember it is an advanced feature with the potential to cause a lot of misery if you mess up.

One more thing, I do not have a sim card for my Defy anymore, had to get a microsim for my nexus 5. So I cannot test mobile connectivity stuff on it anymore. If there are problems then please report with logs.

:victory:
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Sorry but I call BS (no offense). Everyone knows you can't judge battery life after having used it barely a few hours (Not even 10), so you should refrain from posting things like that if you haven't done proper testing.

It would be fine if you gave your feedback after a couple of days of use, not 4 hours after flashing, which, I might add, was probably done without wiping everything.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yup uploaded. Also new gapps uploaded (new Google play services). Changelog is pretty long, read changelog of 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 on slim website and a lot of quarx's log too.

Oh and like in latest cm, overclocking/undervolting is disabled to test stability.

[MENTION=5182511]Casper1982[/MENTION]: here is how you post about battery life.

1.Clean flash

2. Don't restore your app's/data so so can test battery life of the rom only and not of your apps

3. Install betterbatterystats and battery monitor widget

4. Use for 2 days

5. Report your findings with screenshots, logs from these apps.

Hi. I flashed it last night. Forma now its working very well, but 2 thing for mention: 3 reboot while installing apps and the volume in radio still isnt working. Even with the apo open.

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes FM is a bit tricky, and slim guys haven't merged some required FM commits yet. I'll probably have to wait for them before I can fix it.
[Defy Android Development] mGforCe:
Agreed, will wait for the fix, but till than can live with app mentioned by ldiomedi. Can't change volume but default volume is sufficient. Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Installed latest Slimkat 4.4.2 beta 2.4 and minimal gapps found on [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION]-s devhost. After booting and setting up an account, the system doesn't restore apps and data backed up with this account. My last system, Slimbean 4.3, started downloading backed up apps and data right away after flashing and setting up. I had official Slim minimal gapps installed (~50mb) then, in contrast with the current gapps (~15mb). Is this caused by something lacking in gapps, Backup transport protocol or something? Can I do something about it now, to have the automatic restore from 4.3 system, or is it too late?

EDIT: Tried two times, but with official Slim gapps I don't get one-time-initialize procedure after the boot, nor can I add google account anyhow. TJKVs gapps don't have this problem, except won't restore.
[Defy Android Development] atulclassic:
deleted
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Put this inside the priv-apps folder in the gapps and clean flash. I guess I deleted it from the zip by mistake when I was making it minimal. I'll upload the full zip with this later.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
This is exactly what I did, and still nothing happens. Rebooted twice, waited for 10 minutes. Backup transport .apk is copied ok, I can see it in /system/priv-app. Enabled "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" in Settings->Backup&reset. Am I forgeting something? On 4.3 it just worked, as I can recall. Maybe the backup data has been deleted from google servers till now, because of all the hassle?

P.S. Oh, and the "Slim-mb526-4.4.2.beta.2.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140120-1830.zip" on androidfilehost is corrupted, it's only ~136 MB :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Clean flash = wipe data and reflash rom+gapps.

Thanks, will reupload that.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Yes, in fact I did both TWRP system+data+cache wipe & defy safewipe to be extra sure :)

As I recall, 4.2.2 also wouldn't restore any apps for me. 4.3 restored happily without any effort, and now 4.4.2 again won't.

It will remain a mistery for me.

Thanks for the help though.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Excuse me for bothering, this may be a newbie question. How do I overclock in latest Slim? I have copied overclock_defy.ko to my /system/lib/modules folder, yet there is no Performance settings. Is there another way to set minClock = maxClock = 1000 MHz somehow?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
It's not a noob question. I'm just not sure if the real noob thing is that you didn't even bother to read the page previous to this one, where this is not hard to find, or if you are actually asking about how to enable overclocking.

:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Thank you for reply, but I'm referring to this section of OP #2 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48165061&postcount=2), which says:

But have no idea what to do next.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Ok, well my bad. In that case, I'd use Aero Kernel Control and see if you can overclock, or even try overclocking through the Bootmenu.
