Define "corrupt" again, just ot be sure. What happens if you try to restore the backup? Or is the system.img being created as a 0kb file or something?
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
Hola. Creo q tu problema es la tarjeta de memoria. Acabo de revisar mi backup de SK que hice esta mañana para pasarme a cm11 y Ark en linux los abre perfectamente. Asi que no creo que se problema de software. Yo tengo la tarjeta original q vino con mi defy desde hace casi 3 años y nunca la formateé. Que tipo de tarjeta teenés? por ahi tendrías que mirar..

Hi. I belive your problem is in the SD card. My backup from this morning can be opened with ark in linux without problems. I dont think its sofware issue. My sd card its the originial with 3 years old and never format it. What kind of sdcard do you have? you sould look into there..
[Defy Android Development] delight535:
What do you format your sd card with? And to what kind of file system?

Format it with your PC, or with Android, under Settings\Storage. Do not format it with the recovery.
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
Sometimes it's just created as a 0kb file. Some other times, like this one, it shows the correct size but it cannot be restored (FAIL, and if I ask to check: MD5 mismatch). Also if I open it from linux or windows, any app show the file is corrupt. In Linux I could read some files but not all of them (as you may see in the attachment image, those are the only files that could process before the error happened).

If you have the same ROM and TWRP as me, and everything works, then there MUST be something with my mobile or sdcard. However I can write and read in the SDcard completely normal (except those few times when twrp give some troubles to the sdcard after trying to backup, so I have to repair it). I tried writing and reading files form different sizes in both linux and windows without any kind of (visible) trouble, and at correct speed. I also used some FlashCard checking apps to be sure, and they said all was OK. That's the only reason of why I ruled out the failing SDcard hypothesis I had.

I should test with other SDcard maybe. Just to have more clues.

I have the original SD card, same as you. 2 years old.

I tried both. Also from linux. Always in fat32 so to be able to open it on Windows. I also tried to format it with this ROM (system/storage) and it cannot be completed. The system reboot. And the ROM couldn't mount the sdcard anymore. But I just put it into my other Nokia phone, connected it to the computer and can format it perfectly.!! Actually, in the same Nokia phone, I could format it perfectly! :eek:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Definitely your sd card then. They tend to fail in the weirdest of ways. I have one where all the content is perfectly readable, and writing to it doesn't produce any error. But unmount and remount and the new info is gone! I can't even format it to delete my data now, I'll probably destroy it when I get the chance.

[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
Dang! Ok, thank you. I will have to try with a new SDcard then. If I can't get a working one to test, I'll just buy some 16Gb Class4. As soon as I know anything I'll tell. But if anybody else's having this same trouble then it's not a bug.

I still have those random closes on Browser while navigating Facebook tho, even without SDcard. But I won't report any other bug until I have a working SDcard, just to be sure it's not something that's only happening to me.

does anyone is facing the issue with the notification LED on SK 3.0 ?

or its just me :-s

it works while charging

but not when i get a notification :-s
[Defy Android Development] no_means_no:
I may be wrong, but I have the impression that latest 3.0 build gets slower and unresponsive when battery is on low level. Are there any automatic battery saving settings that could be causing this?

Hang on a bit, afaik the android policy is to throttle the clock frequency back when the battery starts getting low.

[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Yes.

Charge your phone when the battery goes low. :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Nope...that isn't "Android policy".

I've seen some samsung phones switch to lower brightness and probably reduce frequency if I were to guess, if that is so then that's their modification not aosp. It is one of the more requested features in Franco Kernel app. Maybe ask [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION] if you guys want this feature :p

Hi, anybody have a problem whit charge in off mode? Saturday night I put my Defy (on) in charge. Sunday morning my defy was off and I can't wakeup it. Only after remove the battery I can on my defy. After that, the battery was in 94%. Was strange for my but only was an one case. Later I read in local forum other people has the same. Today I put my defy in charge (on mode) when it has 69% I unplugged and before to use it I re-start. After that, bum the battery was in 84%...

I comments all you that I made a dirty flash but other people made flashing ROM according with the guide and have the same episodes.

Note. I using version 3.0.

This no change my opinion about this ROM, is fantastic & I be sure that will be one of the best ROM ever flash in my defy.

OOM @ browser bug

About the trouble I had with the built-in Browser (closing itself without warning/error message) while browsing, as instance, Facebook webpage, this is what I could find in the logs. It's an out of memory error (attached log). What do you suggest me to try? How can I control how much can the heap grow? I remember there was a build.prop for that.
[Defy Android Development] mlacunza:
Whats the best?

Hello,

I try to read ALL but its impossible, I have a Moto Defy MB525 from Claro of Peru, I think its red lens, whats the best version for my device? is stable?

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] indypan:
Thank you for your sharing.

I installed this rom in my mb526, it works like charm and I love it especially the really dark function.

But I found a GPS problem, it takes more than 10 min to locate my position every time I lunch the navigation application.

I always turn on the GPS sensor, it should be very fast.

Under the same condition, I tried the PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ [18/01/2014] ROM, the GPS can locate my position withing 10 seconds.

And also the Omni ROM GPS runs fast too.

I really like SlimKat, would you try to fix this GPS problem??

Sorry for my pool English.

Thanks again.
[Defy Android Development] debayan:
Done that but still was unable to get root access.. :(

Is this normal on SK 3.0 with 7 minutes screen on?
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
yes (and not only on sk3)
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Isn't this pretty bad?
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
battery sensor precision on defy is very bad and should not be taken seriously on a scale smaller than ±5% or even ±10%.

also there can be a number of other factors, like bad battery, battery not fully charged (no additional ~1h on adapter when it shows charged), background sync, etc...

Notification Reminder (Another Original Slim Feature)

Many Changes

We are waiting for the your version TJKV
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
I'm really astonished mainly because the battery is a new one (~3 weeks old)

That's what's perplexing me. :|
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
You may have bought it 3 weeks ago, that doesn't mean it has to be new. Batteries age even if they're not in use and are just lying on a shelf somewhere.

Use a root explorer to copy stk.apk from the ROM zip to /system/app, overwrite the existing one, set permissions properly and try again maybe?

Bug report from Settings->Slim Center->Bug Report?
[Defy Android Development] DanielNIX:
thanks, I already tried that...also tried with Stk.apk from cyanogenmod (file size is smaller than slimkat one)

I didn't want to wipe everything but I'm afraid it's the next step :(

(bug report from app-crash dialog)
[Defy Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Don't do that. It's a bug in all KitKat. Mine's like that too. It won't appear. It may appear after lost off signal, too. Very weird.

If you really need it, apply a security lock to the SIM card, then it will always appear in the drawer.

My defy green lense is also bipolar. It says its mb526, but it isn't. I once flashed wrong sbf, so it got splitted personality. I know its green lense defy and that I can only record in SD.

You have reached the end of the internet.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
It's not bipolar. You're using a 2nd-boot ROM which is made for both MB525 and MB526; it doesn't detect which model you have, so Quarx just left it to show MB525, which is the higher model. You can correct that in build.prop, but of course, it doesn't change the fact that your phone is an MB525.

My wife has been running Slimkat on her phone some weeks now; not sure which version but not the latest. This weekend she used airplane mode on a plane journey, and after that she has been having almost continuous reboots and RIL bug issues.

I've been following the thread lately.

I for one really don't like the new bootmenu thing.

But I'm no developer so I have no say. :|

Right now I'm on Omni and really happy with the old stuff. :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Test build being uploaded to my dev host account, let me know if it works (does it boot, does recovery work, etc etc). If it works then I'll upload build 3.6 tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] brolic925t:
I love you
[Defy Android Development] pankaj.jajoria:
Will try Slimkat 3.0 :)
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
Yes. Please dont add the new bootmenu thing on further builds.

I'm still on 2.6 rc2, and despite of the twrp trouble that I have, I love this ROM. All my friends who have defy (and parents ;p ) now have this rom installed.

For further releases I'd really suggest you to dissble hwa by default for everything except systemui torch browser launcher camera and maps. The perf. improvement is really noticeable. Still dont know if disabling for contacts, contactsstorage,dialer,phone and incallui affect oncall screen wakeup delay... But it seems it does not, at least for me its actually faster.

Also I think setting vsel4 1 or 2 steps higher increases overall performance too. Im on 1050/66.

I think motorola default is 1000/68 on mb526
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Not gonna happen buddy..you are welcome to make these changes for yourself for your device. I will be doing what Q does. Also HWA etc is your job, otherwise everyone will expect their own personalized version of this ROM with all their usual apps installed, probably their accounts signed into, and settings set. Get it? :p

Now anyone with useful feedback?
[Defy Android Development] pankaj.jajoria:
battery performance is very poor on 3G :(
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Quantify "poor". My defy used to use 20-30% for one hour of GPS navigation on 3G. Would get maybe half or three fourth of a day with my definiion of "normal use". Lots of whatsapp, all sync on, about 2-3 hours of screen on time, around 5 SMSes, 10 minutes of calls, 30 minutes tapatalk.
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
lol get it. The hwa suggestion, just as YAFU stated on the cm11 thread (that hwa should be disabled by default), is based on most of the users not even knowing that doing it, apps use less ram (less lag) and battery. I guess we should just teach esch user and thats it.. :p a little emimder in the 1st post may be useful.

The vsel (1000/63 better that 1000/62) is just a personal observation tho.

About the feedback theres no more bedides the previous post I made with the logs and stuff. Good job with this build!:good:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
What I would actually consider implementing is a sort of test before the rom gets flashed to see of the users have read enough. If they pass, they'd surely know about hwa and all ;)

I mean feedback about latest build. Anyway [MENTION=5767240]tomaceli[/MENTION] sent me a pm giving me just the results I wanted, thanks tomaceli! Building 3.6 now.

[Defy Android Development] brolic925t:
I actually like the new startup screen straight to recovery if you want. But yea I'm getting random reboots on new test build
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
When you boot up the phone just after the moto logo a splash screen pops up which either let's you go to recovery or just continue the boot.

Its easier and more foolproof than the "blue LED volume down" thing for them noobs.

Im not particularly fond of it but its good and usable.

And I don't have an option. :P

So yeah. Ill learn to like it.

Flashed 3.6, but cannot get Australia Telstra baseband to work. Does not connect. Tried rebooting several times, complete wipe, toggled airplane mode, nothing.

Used 3.0 stable before that, and baseband worked fine on that.

[edit]wifi will not authenticate. Same problem on 3.0

Flashed 3.0 again, baseband working fine. Then flashed 3.6 again, baseband problem back. This makes 3.6 unusable.

No reboots so far.

So the reason for my reboots was because I tried to oc up to 1200. How can I successfully do this without reboots? I added the file from cm11 into modules and still. What voltage should I put for that value

Well, just changed from JB 4.2.2 Illusion ROM...but the camera doesn't work. :/

It's a green lens Defy. Last time when the camera did not work the problem was with overclocking. It didn't work [MENTION=1348102]1200[/MENTION]Mhz, but was perfect @1150.

I tried KK 4.4.2 PacRom.... it worked, but also didn't work with AOSB. I'll try CM11, but Slim seems to be the best choice for me, so would like to have the camera work. Any ideas?

[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
My too. But I think that reboot increase after install aerocontrol app and I try to change vsels.

I use typical vsel values and no overclocked, only decrease a little the vsels. After save the values and I want to see it again, aero control show my strange values for 300 and 600, and some times letters (no number, no values that I entry).

All this because we can't access to bootmenu.....

I has too episodes of black screen when I try to wake up my defy. I need to remove battery to reboot it and take the control again.

So, I remove aerocontrol for the moment in order to confirm if, in my particular case, this wonderful app make unstable my system.
