Help

Maybe someone can help me, I was able to get this going and everything looks great, but I am having trouble getting contacts to carry over. I can't find a way to get them from my sim card to my phone or any other mean in the normal rom so when I switch to the blueginger i'm left with 0 contacts. Can someone please assist?:confused:
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Go to Contacts app, in there select menu button/more/settings/manage sim card/import from SIM

Done.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Or use app from market like Mobile Backup to first make a backup of ur sim in another phone and then push it thru same app into new ROM.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Doesn't seem to work once I restore with the new rom, I will try again
[Defy Android Development] HiDef:
Same here, cant wait for a ginger flavoured froyo. *tasty* :D
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Worked wonderfully! Thanks!

One last question, anyway to get the swype app back on here? Or is it better to just download the SlideIT app?
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
I was able to put swype back on, but not until the latest build so no promises. If you have it I would try it and see what it does.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Well i'll give it a shot, this SlideIT thing is the same premise, but definitely not the same.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Anyone able to sync their Facebook contacts with their actual contacts?

Wow, this is really smooth.

I am on an Australian Telstra. Defy and everything is working perfect so far after restoring apn's, took anit 1/2 hour to set up how i had it, although had to change email app etc. I can't believe all the Telstra boot and everything is gone, had to s-off my desire to do that. Restoring with titanium, i had to exclude about 60 apps that were obviously loaded with my phone, motorola and telstra crap.

I am noticing quite a few things are much quicker.

Only thing i really miss is Swype, possibly a dealbreaker, I can't even install the official beta or an apk i had on file, just fc's.

+ 1. for including it.

I am surprised how quick i could type this with the stock keyboard though... i thought i had forgotten how to type.

Really nice work, thanks heaps!
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Hey bud, kinda felt the same way in regards to Swype... You can try downloading SlideIT from the market, it's not nearly as smooth, but it's similar. I didnt try the paid version.
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
Try this apk of swype. Worked for me.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I tried removing libswype... using root explorer which let me instal the wvga 2.10 apk I have. Ir works but keep getting ..' Does not match screen size' warning. I can't install the one you put up out the official beta, just fc's with official beta, ' application not installed' with yours.

Trying to find a gingerbread keyboard, but every one shows the letters too small or other issues.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Slide it just doesn't do it for me, I don't like having to go to another window to enter numbers and symbols.

I will settle for a Better Keyboard beta for now. I don't want to pay for one knowing that I will be back on swype at the first opportunity.

Actually, this better keyboard ain't too shabby...
[Defy Android Development] thewayner:
Hi,

thanks for the efforts with this custom rom, but i have some problems with it.

1. I installed more locales and when i use german as language the sms/mms app will crash. (The Application has stopped unexpectedly)

Is there a way to fix this for me alone? For example by exchanging the sms app?

2. How can i manually add contacts in the contact app? Probably i just dont find the add button?

Edit: When i try to add accounts under the contact app it will kick me back to the empty Contact List. No difference without more locales.

I attached a picture of the version screen, i think its 2.34.1, but iam not totally sure ... iam like a virgin regarding android.
[Defy Android Development] imsuneaik:
Does it work for 2.51.1?
[Defy Android Development] Jasper.tw:
Sorry I didn't read the whole thread, and I don't know why you cannot install the lastest Swype.

This is Swype Beta which I downloaded from beta.swype.com.

I don't know if it works for your defys but it works on mine(2.51 Taiwan version).

English/Spanish

version: 2.17.59.15552.t100

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OVNKF1AA

Full

version: 2.15.56.14870.t100

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H1U19YLS

If it requires licensing, go to register an account @ http://beta.swype.com/

Hope this works.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Thanks, but they are the same Swype versions that I have. I am registered for the beta.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Dunno what happened, tried the official beta for about the 26th time and it decided to work!

Fantastic!

I love this rom, now it is complete!

@jboogie3

Thank you very much for your great rom, it runs really smooth.

But one wish from my side: Could you release the actual version (beta4) unthemed?

I like the original stile, but do not want to pass your optimizations....
[Defy Android Development] Radwick:
Wouldn't it be possible to change the theme back by using the metamorph theme Jboogie have done under defy/themes and apps. Just use the StockDefyTheme and it could just work out for you.

(Though i am sort of guessing here since i don't got the beta)
[Defy Android Development] Jt612:
the font's would still be white
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
original post updated with BlurlessGingerFroyo beta 1. If you are currently still on 2.1 you will need to flash the 2.2boot_only after restoring my rom. as of now camera and calendar widget are the only bugs otherwise please let me know. So the step to install are if your not on 2.2 are

boot into tenfar recovery, wipe date, nandroid restore, reboot into bootloader(power and camera up) flash 2.2Boot_only.sbf with rsd lite and your good to go.

phone frozen after update

hi all,

forgot to wipe data before installing froyobeta1 & the phone froze while installing defy_2.2_boot_only.zip

pulled the battery, now just getting the white motorola symbol.

how can i get RDS lite to recognize the phone again, so i can flash a stock rom and start again?
[Defy Android Development] Dewman4life:
Reboot into boot loader by power on + volume up
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
"Wireless and networks" just closes for me on the froyo beta :(
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
thanks, i've tried that. guess it's not recognizing it because i'm running windows in VirtualBox. strange as it recognizes it fine normally.

I'll try again when i have access to a normal windows machine.
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
I'm so sorry for being a pain but I really want to try out your new rom but I'm a total noob at this. Is there anyway you can do a step by step for us noobs still on stock T-Mobile(US) rom. I just think jumping betweens different threads to do all the steps would be too confusing.

Thanks for you patience.
[Defy Android Development] irenic:
i managed to install and the process went smoothly but everything is in chinese.. now i'm stuck at motoblur setup and i guess i've been pressing fwd and back in circle.. help me :(

anyway thanks a lot !

You can enter wifi, bluetooth by adding a shortcut to settings using the Launcher. For APN shortcut use ADW launcher

But Rom is fast.

Fix wifi and it could be the best 2.2 Rom on market.
[Defy Android Development] irenic:
yups. wireless and networks not working. and 90% of the icons in menu are in chinese.

well since this rom is from China's Defy, I guess I have to live with it..
[Defy Android Development] walter79:

[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
Nice.. I'm on a Telstra Defy too, did you just have to restore the radio files and apn settings? How compatible is a t-mob ROM with a Telstra branded phone?
[Defy Android Development] Dude-01:
I think it goes hand in hand with the wireless settings problem: I can't go online with umts/edge etc. Wifi is my only opinion.:(
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Use ADW Launcher and make some shortcuts on desktop. (like add widget)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Ok found the Wife Settings bug.

Do not wipe after Nandroid Restore.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
maybe the frequency in your location is different
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Buddy u r sure a very good software tester. Yes I accidently found out that not wiping after restore got everything working fine.

All of you please do this. Dont wipe through custom recovery after restore.
[Defy Android Development] hector_bin:
I write just to say: Thank you very much Jboogie3, your work is very appreciated in Spain!

thx
[Defy Android Development] Khrushy:
Damn, I've been married a while now and I still can't work out the bugs with my Wife!
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
So as of right now the only thing not working is the camera?
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
ha ha ha ROFL. .

Jboogie, just few minor bugs i wanted to point out. I restored it and dint wipe it after restore so everything worked fine with wifi and other stuff. Later i just experimented wiping it after restore and found out that the app drawer button is much much smooth on wiped one than unwiped. The unwiped feels laggy when scrolling apps and we have to use our finger more number of times to register a slide. Also the reduction of haptic feedback is great relief and hope it gives back some good battery backup.

The confirmation boxes like OK, Cancel, Next are merged into the grey background of the box where font is white. Setting up motoblur account thru the app you have given dint work. More or less, if we go to system updates and check it asks for motoblur account by which you can enter your details.

It was not possible to enter APN settings of provider in wiped ROM but unwiped is very good. CPU is already overclocked to 1ghz, so wondering if that is a stock update from moto or has it been overclocked by you?. Camera obviously doesnt work, we know that from chinese 2.2.

White led light is always on when battery is charged. No problem as such but would prefer it to be off like the stock. Gtalk does not seem to login for the second time. Keeps giving an error that gtalk authentication failed.

Well, thats it for now. Thanks a lot. As soon as you finish these bugs more beer on the way.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
With the wireless and network issue... did u guys wipe after restoring? Cause that seems to be the issue. If you just wipe before, then restore my backup you wont run into that issue. Just tested on my girls Defy. The rom support english and Chinese so..
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Marketdownload did not work after update the market. Can select app but download did not work.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
This is first beta and just put this out so you guys could have some kind of a update. Launcher pro is alot better so I will be going back to that on next release and hopefully fixing camera. I have no clue why we run into problems after wiping after restoring... will look more into when I get a chance.. just found out recently they are closing my store down so bare with me guys.. plz

edit : oupss..there's no french in this rom... how can i add it ?
[Defy Android Development] SteveChou:
Does it contain Chinese? The Stock Froyo is Chinese.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Let us know when you find how this works. I would be glad to add german language ;) With MoreLocale 2 you can add a french language setting, so that your apps think they are on a french rom. Multilanguage Apps choose french then :)
[Defy Android Development] yoganche:
Nice work again Jboogie !!! you're the man !!!!

I use your 1st beta on froyo and that's good !!!

I wiped after restoring and have the little bugs mentioned before...not a big deal though. (i put a widget for entering settings).

I use golauncher as home and it smoothly runs !!! lol

Can't wait for your update with the camera bug fixed (hope).

I added hotmail in the emmail, it retrieves the emails, but after it closes saying error occur whatever.... lol. Any idea ?

Do you think it worth it to go back to recovery and wipe everything, restore again your beta and don't wipe after (in order to get settings working) ???
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
yes do soo... it should perform better because i dont have any problem with it, just camera not working..
[Defy Android Development] irenic:
3 things i noticed which 2 of them are well known issue

1) camera

2) new market stimes only allow to download via wifi. on 3g the app stay in my apps tab, but wont download

3) stimes in certain menu, 'back' button isnt working.

they aren't reallu critical issues, & wont hinder this from being the one of the best rom for Defy so far. thanks! :)
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Go to recovery and just wipe cache..should fix

[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Yes I am aware of the camera not working.. its under the release notes in the original post :) go into recovery and just wipe cache and it should fix other issues. On my phone it runs perfect except for camera but guess its different for everyone
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
When you have full signal (5bars) it's in black because I didn't finish theming.. doesn't show no signal.. it does just in black.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Remember don't wipe data after restoring my back up.. it needs it or it will have all the issues stated..

[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
ok i got the file and installed rsdlite, but when i try to select the file to flash, it says that its either a damaged or unkown type of file??? also, how do i use rsd lite, never used it before.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
so my phone wont booot up at all, so i just need to know how to flash the .sbf w/ rsd lite
[Defy Android Development] xdamage:
hold power on + vol up and enter flash mode, connect to pc and select the sbf.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
it says .zip folder that contains .sbf is corrupt/damaged and wont let me unzip. how do i unzip it? and how do i select the .sbf through flash mode?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
you need to unzip the folder containing the sbf with a program like winrar or something like that..

i went to recovery and flash it again and din't wipe after;

It fixed the bug that wasn't let me go in "wireless & settings", good.

As we all know the camera doesn't work, but I stille have some "force close" when I open the email app; I can download and read my hotmail stuff no problem, but when I push the settings button on my defy it "force close" all the time. So I can't go to set the email app like i want.

Any idea ??

Thx guys.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
ok but rsd lite still won't detect my phone. i went into flash mode and then connected my phone and it doesn't show up on RSD lite???
[Defy Android Development] fefopumper:
Ok.

Now the Email app works, but if I press the options button, the app crashes.

But I already can see my emails, thanks.

I use this rom daily, is very well.

[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Which version of RSD Lite are you running? Do you have the latest Moto drivers installed?
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Hey JBoogie

I did wipe both times, I ended up recovering the media, I did a factory reset and then reflashed 2.5. I tried deodex again for the white clock on your theme, but again I got the boot loop and had to restart. I would use your rom, it's awesome, but I need a camera at the moment so I'll have to wait, so my best bet is your theme... Can you clarify that the adb steps for the deodex do work on UK 2.5 and that they are correct... If thats not the case I must be doing something wrong

Thanks for the work you put in
