Issues on beta4

I'm sure most of this has been reported but I'm just tossing in my $.02 (but one thing I haven't seen)

The font coloring is bad.. barely visible

I'm not a big fan of the transition effects

Camera didn't work. camera fix alternative sbf didn't help

Already installed Recovery boot doesn't work and reloading my old copy of it doesn't work either. Once I've loaded boot_only I can boot into the phone but no longer into recovery.

Thanks for all the hard work.
[Defy Android Development] donb123:
yikes

And, after flashing back to JRDEM_U3.... all my apps FC and I can't reload recovery or root. Any ideas?

Nevermind. I used the factory recovery and wiped data/cache and it's all good.
[Defy Android Development] jmitch268:
disabling usb debugging would of probably solved your problem, if not then maybe installing busybox from the market.
[Defy Android Development] donb123:
Thanks. I know people sometimes get perturbed about saying stuff over again and I apologize because, now that you mention it, I remember reading about that. 51 pages is a little hard to make sense of tho :S
[Defy Android Development] isikh:
I'm trying to help out again because I also like this ROM, I use it myself, and want it to imporve. LED notifications aren't working for me, and that really helps because I can tell by LEDs whether I've an email or text. Please look into it :)
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
turn them on in settings
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
Jboogie, which ROM in your opinion is better, the Froyo or Gingerbread?
[Defy Android Development] Nice.InSane:
Found a bug in 2.2: When I wanted to add a new event in the calendar it just goes back to the previous screen.

InSane
[Defy Android Development] isikh:
That was stupidity on my part,but I found another problem that is important as I need this feature. In the version of google maps included the voice does not speak. For example it doesn't say make right turn etc. It justa beeps/makes a ding noise instead which is kinda useless. I have both tts and svox installed
[Defy Android Development] isikh:
Also, another problem and request, I've no signal in my dorm, and I rely heavily on WiFI calling here. I installed the app, but it wasn't working. Could you please get that to work as well.
[Defy Android Development] bunnybash:
Tried to get this rom happening on my mates defy on telstra, no luck, could not get a signal after installing... understandably this rom was designed for USA defy, which uses a different band too.

Love what you are doing though boogie!

Here is to moto unlocking the damn boot loader!
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Have you tried changing your apn settings? If not, follow the instructions on t-mod.org, they aster the same for any telstra phone...

I backed mine up with 'apn backup and restore' before installing jboogie beta 4, haven't tried the froyo one yet, needs more time in the oven..
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
And I need to get mine back from telstra... Damn earpiece fault!
[Defy Android Development] bunnybash:
Yeah I changed the apn settings, the strange thing was that it would randomly show full signal then no signal...very very strange

It spent much more time on zero signal though, 90% on zero...
[Defy Android Development] mcm_xyz:
It's a theme bug. I think in fact you have full signal when phone displays no signal. Search my post on this thread, I posted a solution.
[Defy Android Development] CleanSweep93:
Can someone tell.me how to go back to stock mobile us firmware? I have the android backup but how to I get the 2.1 bootloader for us? I just need some way to get back to stock.
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
The only way to get back to stock 2.1 US is with a Nandroid backup through Clockwork recovery.
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
This fixes the navigation with 5.0 for me. Not sure if this is the same problem you are seeing.

For me this was the solution:

1. I stopped the Maps application, cleared the cache and deleted the data from the maps application via Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications; Tab "All"; Application "Maps"; Force stop; Clear cache; Clear data

2. I opened the Maps application (not Navigation) and accepted the change message

3. I went back to the home screen and started the Navigation application

4. Accepted the message

5. Navigation works like a charm (again)!

Original google thread.
[Defy Android Development] mingox:
Thanks for your great works.The rom is great,but I got some problems about gtalk. It keep Remind me that gtalk login vertify failed . How to resolve it ?
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
It was resolved few pages before.
[Defy Android Development] CleanSweep93:
I know I need to use custom recovery but do I need a new bootloader?

Do you mean this ?
[Defy Android Development] Nice.InSane:
This is the solution! After that you have to do a data-wipe. Do not forget to set permissions.

InSane
[Defy Android Development] mingox:
Perfect! Data-wipe and restore the backup by Titanium (without old system config data , just programs) .It works! Thanks a lot !
[Defy Android Development] slashvanyoung:
I somehow can't log into my network (T-Mobile Germany) with this ROM. It's not even being recognized while searching for networks. Somebody know a workaround?
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
Just to make sure, i can go straight from 2.1 to BlurlessGinger without flashing anything, right?
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
From the OP: "....If you are not running 2.2 already then you will need to flash the 2.2boot_only after restoring my backup."
[Defy Android Development] CleanSweep93:
Rbeier, I asked earlier, do I need a 2.1 boot flash to get back to stock? I have 2.2 right now, I know I need to use restore, but how do I get back to 2.1? This is the third time I have asked this question, but I keep getting the same answer "just use custom recovery". Yeah, but what about the boot sector that I flashed? Don't I need to flash back?
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
I'm talking about the BlurlessGinger Beta(Official) ROM, and if i have to flash boot_only.sbf, can i do it before restoring Jboogie's ROM? Or do i have to do it after?
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
Ok, I've read this whole thread and I can't find a solution to the email menu bug. When I hit menu in email, I just get booted to the launcher screen.
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
Can I flash the 2.2boot_only.sbf before I restore or do I have to flash it after?
[Defy Android Development] ssteph:
good rom

very good rom verry speed and no problem, sorry for my english i am french
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Anyone got a chance to catch my earl build of beta3 on twitter?
[Defy Android Development] joergherzinger:
I came to late. I wanted to download it, but when I got home it was already gone, and you explicitly said to NOT download it. :)
[Defy Android Development] fefopumper:
I did. I was download the your build3. Why?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Need feedback
[Defy Android Development] HiDef:
Would love to give feedback, but i dont have your beta 3. :D
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Jboogie, give me your ROM. I will seriously do a good job in testing it. Although I appreciate more rather than ranting :D

Looking forward for the release anyway.
[Defy Android Development] f4lkon:
Why not a publication? It is still a beta ;) If you want such a perfect Rom you should not call it beta 3 ;)
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
edit: Link removed...
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Done. You can take it off exactly after 10mins this msg was posted.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Beta3 review

Jboogie, you have done a very good job taking out almost all bugs out of the Beta2. At first I restored your backup without wiping after the restore. On a day to day use I did not find anything buggy at all. It is light with not many applications. You have included very few (4) applications from your choice which are very good.

However, there is just one thing I can see as a glaring issue. Without wiping when used, if we add a motoblur account to it, the corporate and Email accounts are previously added through the previous motoblur settings we used. But there is no option to access those accounts. There is no way we can enter the Corporate mail inbox or the Email inbox through the app drawer. I also found that mail applications dont work well without wiping.

If we wipe after restoring and use and then enter motoblur setup then the setup screen does not appear. Instead the accounts screen appears where you can directly configure your mails. Again no way to access these applications. In short please add the shortcuts to these mail apps or put in the Universal Inbox feature. The camera, camcorder and flash work great without a doubt with and without wiping.

As it is after wiping, there are no problems with wifi, 3G, google apps and market. Great way to go Jboogie. You seem to have done a very good job with a lot of sweat into it. :). I am sure this will be the most used rom amongst those who like themed and almost deblured rom.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
THough u removed the link, I can still access and download!
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
Seriously guys, if it's been addressed I apologize but the email menu bug makes this rom almost unusable. Can someone tell me whether this has been cleared up? Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
in my beta3 which i have now leaked twice(due to it not being what i wanted it to be) it has been replaced..
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
thank you very much for your feedback.. with this you will need to wipe.. sorry didnt mention that. Since this is a blurless(or deblur) rom its not meant for you to use any of the blur account stuff.. so setting up the coparate mail through that wont be possible. I wont add the universal inbox since its blur. the Email app that i added(k9) works perfectly if you havent tried it yet. The reason this wasnt really publicly released is because i am no longer basing this rom on the china2.2. I will release the beta3(official) froyo soon but at the moment i am still working on it.once again. thank you for your support. :)
[Defy Android Development] Bill Noneya:
Is it based off of the leaked t-mo froyo rom? If it is I can say the base is a good one so people should be very pleased with a deblurred customized one from you. looking forward to it. :)
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
Ok. Thanks for working on it. I look forward to the official release. Thanks for answering my question.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
ahh come on!!! I came home now. I come running here to download it!!! :D

Good work Jboogie3!!!
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
yes, leak it again to us, for brazil fans only
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
ok ok fine... guess ill just leave it now :) http://www.mediafire.com/?3xy95a64h45ygdw

remember to wipe!
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
\O/ Downloading.... \O/
[Defy Android Development] dornellasrj:
Tell us how it's working now! =))
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Just won a first timer tester on your ROM's xD, going to test it now :)

cheers
[Defy Android Development] bimmerd00d:
Is it possible to use Wifi Calling on this ROM?
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
So far it works great. Email menu bug is fixed, camera works (no flash), market works, 1395 quadrant. Looks like a great ROM man. Thank you. If I could only get that damn flash working...
[Defy Android Development] HiDef:
This one is based on the leaked T-Mobile Froyo?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
no my official one that im working on will be..
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Use the Email.apk from the Cyanogen Nexus One 2.2 ROM and you'll done :D
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Sqoerk, please post it buddy. :)
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
Use Bihareals camera fix and flash fix, you put the zip on the root of the sd and flash through recovery... Works well.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
JBoogies Beta 3 w/ Froyo

Not much to report on the bugs or lack there of... I am very pleased with this latest version especially stating that is still in beta and the official release on its way.

I did wipe even before your recent post, worked like a charm. Camera, Market, Maps, WLan settings, basically all the major issues from the previous Beta worked awesome. I did have to re flash the flash fix after the restore, but really it's not like that is a hard thing to do.

I didn't even bother trying to mess with the motoblur setup, just hit the skip and was on my way.

I know some people have asked (including myself) about syncing their facebook pictures to their contacts... Download "Sync my pix" from the market, it will match your contacts and set the pictures from your friends profiles.

I haven't tried K-9, but really don't need it as I rarely check my email accounts from my phone other than Gmail which works just fine.

Not gonna lie, I have no idea how to use Milestone Overclock, I know it improves phone speed, but I am not sure how to set it to be functional and not cause damage... if anyone wants to help, awesome.

Theme is done wonderfully, the new icons(which I don't remember in Beta 2, but could be wrong) just set this ROM apart from others...

All in all, this is the best ROM i have used and tested, there are other ones out there that are nice, but for my specific taste this one hits the mark. Been a big follower of Boogie since my noobie ass hit the android world running (not a stalker like way lol).. This included trying to deodex the wrong firmware!!:eek: which led me to the 2.5.1 firmware, but looks like it worked out well as that's what the man whose making the roms is using.

Thanks JBB, definitely doing dope work, keep it up!
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
I'm testing and for now I can say that cameras works with flash, market, gtalk... No bugs yet. I will test bluetooth now :)

EDIT: bluetooth is working!
[Defy Android Development] Dalamak:
No swype, but I will try porting my g2 apk to this
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
swype really a big deal guys? just find the apk and install it. I wont include it in my rom... waste of space IMO
[Defy Android Development] richiehd:
jboogs, you are the man. question, now that source is released- what are the chances of you being able to get some gingerlove to the defy after you're done with the blurless line of roms? i think the defy needs some aosp love and as the first real person to rom for this phone, i think we're all in agreement that you are the chosen one.

you seem to know the device well. i flashed this on my gf's defy and it's damn good.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
well thank you. Hope you gf enjoys.. currently i consider myself as a noob compared to other great devs.. im still learning and need to learn alot more. Now porting 2.3 i actually on my list of things to do.. but not right now. I've talked to 2 ppl that are pros at porting. But i want to actually do it myself. good news? i know nobody really wants to wait. but we all must be patient. :D
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
I haven't seen anything to the contrary anywhere, so wouldn't the fact the Defy is using an OMAP CPU like the Milestone, Droid X, etc mean it probably has eFuse enabled, therefore making a 2.3 ROM impossible unless Moto release a 2.3 kernel?
[Defy Android Development] Damool:
i was wondering the same thing, seems like some people think it's not possible and other just assume it is. In the meantime, i just try not to get my hopes up ;)
[Defy Android Development] Behemia:
ooooh im sho exhiteddd :)

Love / beermoney would be coming to you for this haha :p

How to ?

Hi..

How to install this ? rename .rar to update.zip ?? Nothing works.... somebody ?
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
@Jboogie3

Hi, first say, thanks for your hard work!

Please tell me, how difficult it is, to port Andrpod 2.3 to our defy?

I read, that the Android 2.3 was ported from nexus S to galaxy s.

So how could we do that?

Or what we have to do to create a working from for us?

Thanks for your answer
[Defy Android Development] xenofexos:
How to ?

Nobody want´s to share some info about how to install this ?? C´mon plz....

EDIT:

Well, nobody seems to know how to actually install this.. So Thank´s for nothing then....
[Defy Android Development] strahlstrom:
Why you dont read? Its not so hard...
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
SMS Crashs.

I use beta 3 and SMS crashs every time.

Any solutions?
[Defy Android Development] strahlstrom:
Handcent works fine.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
i use handcent.
[Defy Android Development] xenofexos:
Thx a lot !
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Hi,

please tell me, could i run the rom in android emulator?

Can´t get it work!

Every Time a boot error comes.

init: critical process 'servicemanager' exited 4 times in 4 minutes

Restarting system with command 'recovery'.

Reboot failed -- System halted

Who could i get your rom to fly in emulator?

Parameter?

Software?

Thanks!!
[Defy Android Development] pre2k:
Change the phone language to English, then it should work
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
The first post have instructions... this is not an update.zip method. U need to download thenEXTRACT the folder to the directory i said in the first post ;)
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Did u wipe before and after restoring my rom?
[Defy Android Development] HiDef:
Same issue here. I did a wipe several times before and after the restore of beta 3, but sms still not working. Hope that jboogie can fix this in future version. I really want to use this rom.
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
hi jboogie3,

i want to install your froyo beta2 but i'm a little confused about wiping or not, and usb debugging mode on or off. you are first saying in huge letters i should remember to wipe before and after restoring backup, but later in the same post i should NOT wipe and everything should be ok. what is right?

till now my steps are:

1. rooted

2. installed tenfars latest system recovery apg.

now i am not sure what to do next and of i should do it in debugging mode or not...

thanks,

nilsja
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
3. download my latest beta3 froyo http://www.mediafire.com/?3xy95a64h45ygdw

4. turn off debug mode

5. go read the original post
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
Finally getting to download BETA 3. Been busy at work and that's usually when I load ROM's so my wife doesn't get annoyed with me staring at my phone all night. :p
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
Only bug I've found is corporate exchange email causes fc in email app. Non exhange email works fine.
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
adding calendar entry doesnt work for me. calendar app crashs.

any chance to install swipe? or at least get the ginger keyboard working? i only get it with very small letters...

edit: also i cant install a lot of apps. for example sipdroid...
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
hmmm....that is vital to me. I will still give a try later and see if I can get it working. Works no problem with my own mod.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
I have configured my exchange account using K9-Mail and it is working fine.
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
i think he is talkin about the blur accounts(which is not meant to be use) i replaced the email app that i had from beta2 and added k9
[Defy Android Development] rbeier1221:
Never used K9 before. I think it's time I load this and see how it runs!
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
hey jboogie3, thank you very much! froyo is so much faster. i love it.

my first impression bug list

1. turning the phone around when it rings doesnt make it silent

2. calender crashs on event creation.

should i wipe after beta3 update? currently running beta2...
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
Here it is pal,

nice to see you got your defy ;):D:D

Copy the apk to /system/app and don't forget to chmod 644 :)
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
You do wipe after restoring Beta3
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
ok, i did the wipe and now the calendar works. except there is no local calendar. but that is unfortunatly not a bug.

but the app barcode scanner does not work anymore. seems to be a problem with the camera...
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
yes make sure to wipe
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
thanks, that worked. next thing is that the camcorder doesn work. and therefor the barcode scanner app also not... is that a known issue and is there a way to fix it?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5yht81ukue555sd BlurlessGingerBetaFroyo3.5(gingerbread/honeycomb theme) will post changelog later.. im tired :/ remember to wipe.. this is based of the tmo leak and includes wifi calling and swype.. the pre installed app)uno and tmobile tv can be deleted.. enjoy

you also need to flash the tmo froyo boot only http://www.mediafire.com/?pkjkk75emk6x83f with rsd lite after restoring my rom
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
About bootloader, The chinese one will works?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
need to flash the tmo boot only for it to work http://www.mediafire.com/?pkjkk75emk6x83f then wipe in stock recovery
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
Do you have the link? :D

EDIT: We'll be able to downgrade after?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
yes with no problems:D link in previous post
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
calendar is missing from my google account.

does anyone else have this problem?

any way to get it back?
[Defy Android Development] woonaval:
I have this problem too, with the newest 3.5 rom. Only Gmail and Contacts are showing :confused:
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
K9 is good but it won't get your corporate exchange calendar going.
[Defy Android Development] hunteryezd:
BlurlessGingerBetaFroyo3.5

I will give my device a try for this version!!
[Defy Android Development] Homesicktexan:
No, I'm using the email 2.1 app, not blur. Still can't add corporate exchange but other than that no probs. I can't use k9 for exchange because I don't know the Webdav path or port. I don't need them in email 2.1. I'll find them eventually.
[Defy Android Development] Bill Noneya:
In the camera if you take a picture then click on the preview it says gallery not installed. Kinda wierd because you can go out and go into the gallery and there is your pic.
[Defy Android Development] Bill Noneya:
The camera in the latest rom isnt the one from the leaked rom is it? It mustve been replaced by jboogie. The stock one had the correct media gallery link and you could zoom with the volume buttons.

BUGS:

1. Calendar wont sync.

found answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10941055&postcount=4

to fix leave FamilyCalendarProvider in the rom.

2. Camera picture preview wont open media gallery.

3. Camera wont zoom with volume buttons.

If the camera was replaced with that bihariel camera fix I dont think it was necessary because the one with the leaked rom worked perfectly. Im just guessing thats what caused these last two bugs though.
[Defy Android Development] avers:
THE EASIER SOLUTION FOR THE CALENDAR SYNC PROBLEM:

(it contains the missing BlurCalendarProvider)

Choose the attached zip from the Clockworkmod recovery.

DON'T NEED TO WIPE!!
[Defy Android Development] Bill Noneya:
Yes that worked great.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
When the signal is full the icon is almost invisible :)

right now im running the froyo beta 2 ROM, do i need to flash anything(already have 2.2boot_only flashed), or can i just wipe and then restore beta 3.5?
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
u must flash the tmo froyo boot only..
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
I got my corporate exchange email going using k9. Worked pretty well actually.
