Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can do some tweaking or make an app so that you can add red color to Sense Calendar for important appointments.

I'm not asking to change the color of the whole calendar. Just the red text/highlight of the important appointments in agenda view and the red color for the little triangle on the upper left corner in Month View.

That way, I can keep track of important appointments and prepare in advanced. I'd appreciate it very much if anyone can help me or recommend me a similar app. Thanks.

Well i installed clockwork i think that's what's it called. My brain fried this afternoon. Anyways. Im having problems after install. Everytime i reboot my phone it automatically reboots to clockwork. So i have to end up hitting reboot again. So is there a fix to this or? I have bootstrap installed does that affect it when it reboots? I've search the forums and.no luck. Thx
[Droid X General] meshdub:
Try reinstalling Bootstrap app.

True and ill reinstall it. Its just i do alot of theme ing an kinda gets annoying after awhile that's all.
[Droid X General] matrix2004:
Clockwork recovery and bootstrap. Should i have both or just bootstrap?
[Droid X General] tmmedic20:
Both
[Droid X General] paycer:
I'm pretty sure that Clockwork Recovery only shows up if you booted your phone and the Android OS never loaded. As in, if you get stuck on the M logo or get a boot loop, or if you just pull your battery before you load up Android, then Clockwork will show up next time your phone boots since the file created when booting initially will still be there. Yet, if you boot up into Android, the file is deleted and a reboot at that point will simply reboot the phone normally.

I remember reading that the file is created on boot, then deleted once you get to Android. If you never boot up into Android for any reason, then the file isn't deleted. As a result, a reboot with the file still there will cause Clockwork to come up.

I was having the same issue as OP. It got annoying when I was trying out some new boot animations and such. I'm glad it's working alright, but I didn't need to constantly see it for no reason lol. I think the problem was that I was rebooting too early. I just tried this whole process just now and Clockwork came up even though I booted into Android. I tried it all again but waited a while this time. I gave Android time to load up all of my widgets, etc., then I rebooted. Clockwork didn't come up the second time, so I think that was the issue. Whatever process that deletes the file probably wasn't given a chance to do so the first go around.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty66:
Hello!

I am very intersted in getting an Andorid phone that is waterproof as i always manage to brick my Smartphones while mountaineering and the liek through water damage. Till now i used a HTC Tilt2 (wm6) but i decided to go Android when that one bricks a long time ago.

That point has now come as some of the front buttons dont work anymore and the display broke in half. I already ordered a repairkit but i still want to get a new phone.

Now, just recently motorola announced the DEFY which is the first IP67 Andorid phone to my knowledge. As the specs seem fine enough and its going to sell here in Germany for 350€ i`m all in for the phone.

What bugs me though is, that nobody on this Forum even mentions the Phone, let alone the existience of an own category - which it deserves in my point of view.

Why is this?

I would really like to know if it should be possible to install custom roms to the defy as i don`t want to wait ages to get Froyo just to get Motoblur (which i wouldn`t like anyway i think)...

Thx,

Christian
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTDG:
Same here. The defy will come to the US too by the end of the year.

I really laughed when realizing, the users speculate about phones which are not even announced, but ignore one of the most interesting devices this year (imo) which will be released in less than a month.

But if you check other blogs or forums or whatnot, the defy seems to be pretty rare indeed. I still miss some real reviews, not some stupid advertising i'm reading since announcement.

It's a pity, it's an OMAP3610 though. And with the closed bootloader + missing interest of devs in the defy, you won't see custom roms anytime soon...maybe never.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty66:
Im not that deep into that topic but i thought that it would be possible to hack the bootloader as there are many hacks for other motorola Phones.

It would be really sad if it could be done but wouldn`t be due to the lack of interest in this phone.

Th OMAP 3610 shoud be quite adequate for the phone - it only lacks GFX-acceleration to its better brothers but for such a phone i doubt that gfx play such an important role.

I would rather like a phone with absolute high-end hardware and a hardware keyboard which is waterproof but i don`t think that will happen soon.

Think of a waterproof HTC Desire Z .... that would be a dream.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTDG:
Somewhat News here:

According to some tests with quadrant, The Defy uses a OMAP 3610 which is still somehow supported by a PowerVr SGX 530, which was added by Motorola !

With the Omap 3610 and the PowerVR + Android 2.1 it got around 1050 points. Amazing if you look at the phone as a whole now if you ask me.

+ some hints indicate 2 versions of the Phone...with and without Motoblur (For Europe so far)

This phone NEEDS a forum.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtcislove:
If it has a closed bootloader it dont eed a forum. Because u cant do any rooting stuff with your phone!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTDG:
And that prevents admins to make a forum with "General", "Accessories" and "Themes and Apps" ?

+ without a forum to increase popularity, there will be little efforts to take the bootloader under further investigation.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Certainly didn't stop them from putting up forums for the Milestone, the Droid X, Droid 2 et cetera. It could well still be rootable, moddable, exploitable by 2nd-boot or other such methods, etc.

Awesome...before release even! Hope to quickly see some ROMs for it to bring it up to 2.2.

I'll likely get it next month after my current contract runs out.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Rooting the Defy won't necessarily mean a custom 2.2 ROM. They've established the root method works, but nothing has been said of the recovery/ROM methods, which for the Droid X and Droid 2 are already pretty makeshift.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
yeah, that is why I'm hoping.

hate to see a phone come out behind what is current so I come here to xda hoping to see it is upgradable even if not officially.

Sucks that moto would release a niche phone like this that is behind from the start though. They released droid x with 2.1 and updated a month or two later, but that was on verizon. Not thinking they'll be so quick to update on Tmo.

Prove me wrong moto! Push the defy up to 2.2. Then I'll buy it without waiting for a custom ROM

i hope there is a possibility in the near future for rooting a defy (in a simple way, because for me it's something new.

i saw motoblur and didn't like, so it would be fine if one can delte it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
From what I have read about it you can't just get rid of motoblur...it is more than widgets on the homescreen(s). Some have said you can install other homescreens, but I don't think that will remove it either...just make it look different. All said most people say the latest version of motoblur is much better than the first one.

Time will tell, but I'm still hoping for ROMS on the DEFY.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty66:
The Defy actually has a GPU: The powerVR 530 as can be seen on the official site here.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
ive been around a long time here for the Windows Mobile hacks and roms.. now i think its finally time to try android.. love the look of the defy and i think it will be my next phone.

though without custom roms i am not sure its for me. i dont like the idea of motoblur and i would want to get rid of it.

I can see that the defy has now been rooted.

I thought if i a phone could be rooted it could take a custom rom. Is that not the case?

appreciate your help.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Root doesn't always mean custom ROMs are possible. On a hackable device like the Nexus One, you can completely replace the whole operating system and get a functional phone. On a locked Motorola bootloader, you can extensively renovate the OS but you can never quite completely replace it because certain bits of signed firmware need to remain in place, or the phone won't boot. This complicates the whole process.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
appreciate the response cmstlist. looks like i will have to wait and see in regards to a hacked bootloader.. if the phone is rooted would you think you can remove motoblur and go to a more default homescreen?

I take it without custom rom though you would not be able to run 2.2?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
You don't need root to get a more stock-like homescreen. Download ADWLauncher and set it as the default home. You can configure it to look almost exactly like stock Froyo if you want it to. Other Blur UI elements such as the black notification bar will remain though, and Blur processes will continue running.

As for 2.2, the challenge on Milestone was that the kernel is one of those key pieces of code. Until Motorola released a signed test build of Froyo, the 2.2 custom ROMs were all stuck in various stages of dysfunction because they had to use a kernel from 2.1. Replace that kernel with something unsigned and it won't boot.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty66:
Has no other Motorola bootloader been hacked yet? i thought this would be the case but as you mention the signed testversion of froyo for the milestone, i realize i might be wrong.

Does that mean, that we always have to wait for motorola to release a usable "test" version to base our custom roms on it?

So no cyanogen mod possible?

That would be sad...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
On a locked Moto bootloader, the "custom ROMs" will always have to contain some core elements of a signed ROM, which can limit functionality and make them more buggy.

The big difference with the Milestone compared to all other locked Moto bootloaders: The initial Milestones came out with a vulnerable recovery partition that could be exploited to branch out to custom recovery. This vulnerable partition can be flashed back on top of any new build, so it's always rootable and it's always possible to take nandroid backups. There is no such vulnerable recovery available for many newer Motorolas. So the "custom recovery" for Droid X, for example, is much more of a hack.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
Great info here. How does this effect SIM Unlocking? I am looking at Locked T-Mobile Defy's now though i am in Australia so no T-Mobile available. Is a custom ROM required for unlocking? or is root enough?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
No relationship. A SIM unlock code is all you need for that purpose.

If you're in Australia, does your provider use UMTS 900 as part of its coverage? The American Defy is missing that frequency so you'd want the European version. Conversely, the American version does have UMTS 850, so you'll want that one if you're on Telstra.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
Forgive me if I'm confused, but doesn't that mean it will work on AT&T 3g too?

I seem to remember the telstra HD2 being imported to use on AT&T
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
i think the 850/900 is only used rurally in australia. I believe both optus and telstra use 2100.. i take it both EU and US versions support this?

As for the SIM unlock code doesnt that mean you have to pay for it? I was hoping for a way to avoid this. :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Yes, the American Defy will get AT&T 3G, but would drop down to EDGE if the service area uses exclusively UMTS 1900 for 3g. This is all assuming Motorola is telling the truth on their specs page :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
Hmmmm....I guess I'm gonna jump into the boat with Sage and ask will the root allow another carrier SIM?

I would love to grab this phone now for use on AT&T for the next few weeks until my att contract is up and then move to Tmo. Without a Tmo account I couldn't ask them to unlock it could I?

Or since I'd be paying full price could I demand they do a SIM unlock right there in the store?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Again, root has nothing to do with a SIM unlock. All you need for a SIM unlock is to buy a code. T-Mobile will not give it to you, and root access won't help.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbutter:
yeah...I confused myself on that one...root is just the operating system permissions.

I was thinking along the lines of flashing spl's from winmo of yesteryear like my old wizard.

Anyway a couple people on howard forums said that if you buy full price from Tmo they will give you the unlock code.

Warranty and shipping depend on where you live and you didn`t say that here.

Typically you wont get any warranty if you import your phone.

I would suggest you ask your brother to buy and send you the phone. If he buys it, he will be able to turn it in for warranty if anything happens. In that case you would just send the phone to him to turn it in.

Getting clearity about my post with 280€:

the Phonehouse has an offer getting one smartphone 20% cheaper on friday the 19th. Right now theres a vote on their website which phone it'll be. The Defy is leading right now. Regular price is 350€, with 20% off it'll be 280€. Including all german VAT. Here's the offer: http://shop.phonehouse.de/specials/smartphoneVoting/

Sending it to other countries should be possible, but probably you'll pay your own taxes for importing this device. Also the shipping could be expensive. So I bet it'll be cheaper and easier to get one in your own country.

Warranty should be no problem, as you can always return it to motorola yourself.
