[Defy Android Development] Raz0rPwn3r:
I got to the part where it says installing update, and now my phone isn't doing anything. I've been waiting for like 20 minutes and still nothing. Yes my phone is rooted, this is my first rom.

Edit:Yeah, I just removed my battery and started my phone back up because i gave up and.... all my stuff is lost........... :'(

Edit:Oh and I just tried to flash a 2.3 rom for the defy, it worked perfectly, its just this that won't work.
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
please not on the first thread

---- which things work and which don't....

would be great! thanks
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
Camera and flash work just fine with this rom.
[Defy Android Development] :
Does this ROM has blur?

Can anyone post some screenshots?

Thx!
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Yes, it has Blur. As for screenshots, I do not have any of the default setup myself.
[Defy Android Development] :
I'm going to pick-up a Defy. Can I skip the MOTOBLUR registration?

Besides, is there any way to roll-back to the original ROM?

Thx in advnace.
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
moto registration: no, it wasnt possible on my phone

besides...? dont understand what u mean by this..

roll back to what exactly... this rom should be "clean" - but nobody really know what's working any how it looks like :=P

[Defy Android Development] :
My Defy is charging. Going to root and load a custom ROM (2.2-only). How does this actually compare to Higg's...?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919492
[Defy Android Development] :
I removed too much and now Text Messaging cannot be opened and SMS are appearing double, I suspect it's the UniversalInbox.apk/odex, could someone send me those?

THXXXXXXXXXX!

And how can I remove MOTOBLUR's "News" app and Google Voice...................?

Edit: OK... Re-flashed the ROM and was more careful this time... Looks like it's those BlurEmailsth that caused the problem.

And removed the News app by removing NewsWidget.apk/odex

Edit 2: And the Google Voice was from Cyanogen's Gapps... I did find that flashing gapps works only sporadically through. And haven't found a way to reliable run Clockwork Recovery - It runs at the first instance but subsequent reboots often/always leads to blank screen.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Instead of removing packages, consider merely renaming their extension to something else. Then, if you run into problems, you can restore the package by restoring the apk extension.
[Defy Android Development] :
Learnt the hard way. :D

Hopefully Motorola will stick to its words and unlock the bootloader and then we don't have to work so troublesomely to free our handsets.
[Defy Android Development] :
Can't seem to get a location fix with this ROM, any idea?
[Defy Android Development] :
There's a logcat entry when Maps starts...

I suppose it should be "true"? I've already enabled network-based locationing in Settings but... Any idea?
[Defy Android Development] jeffokada81:
I tried 5 or 6 different ROMS and this is the only one I could restore and 3G worked directly on reboot.

Thanks.

ps. Motorola's are a pain the the ass compared to Nexus. sheesh

I just noticed there is no Market or Google apps installed... Is there a download link someone can refer me to?
[Defy Android Development] :
Yeah, Gapps are not included on Android handsets distributed in China.

I used the one from CyanogenMod... http://ifile.it/t4flvcj/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip

Ok so after installing and clicking the reboot into recovery in the goapk mod clockwokmod recovery thing my defy is stuck in perpetual reboot no matter what I do! how do I fix it?
[Defy Android Development] :
use rsd lite to flash a sbf file for recovery?
[Defy Android Development] nebneb333:

how can I flash google apps?

I tried the update.zip from the other thread but volume down + power doesn't let me flash anything.

[Defy Android Development] shamo42:
No. Custom recovery doesn't let me flash the update.zip either :( Same error.

Is there another way to get the google apps? (and most of all a working market?)

edit:

does the camera work for you guys? I just get a black screen.
[Defy Android Development] joergherzinger:
Nice. Well done, flashing worked like a charm.

But still, this thing is Blurred like hell and degoogled. I'm gonna flash back to 2.1 and wait till some deblurred rom with google is released. ;)

[Defy Android Development] Jasper.tw:
In the Chinese post, it is said that there's a way to install google services.

But some users report the camera & video recorder somehow don't work.

Edit:

In the original Chinese post, there's a link directing google service installing method to

http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-49941-1-1.html

and the tutorial there is as following:

1. copy the file to your sd card.

file mirror:

2. volume down + power button to wipe

3. use motorola's recover:

-->Use Touch to highlight and 'OK'to Select

-->reboot system now

-->apply sdcard:update.zip

-->wipe data/factory reset

-->wipe cache partition

-->ok hide

[Defy Android Development] joergherzinger:
I currently have big troubles returning backup to 2.21. Flashing and everything works, but when running for 2 minutes or so I get an error that app.media.android or so has crashed and then mostly everything stops working. I'll see if I can flash back to 2.2.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
I've got market on the Chinese froyo :cool:

Unzip the update.zip from here, and using ADB or Motodev Studio, install the google apk's from /system/app found in the zip file. Easy-peasy :)

Edit: Getting a ton of force close's though...

[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
gud inglish :D
[Defy Android Development] nisamtetreb:
Thanks for the effort!

I'm unsure why I need the recovery. Can't I just use the boot file to flash 2.2?

Is the recovery needed to install Clockwork mod which is in turn needed for adding Google apps?

edit:

I see that the recovery image is needed for root, correct?

edit2: after seeing the files, I understand

[Defy Android Development] QNXUA:
so, it's not possible to flash rooted froyo from the original not rooted Chinese froyo?
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
GAAH!

I can't get it to boot after applying the boot-only zip :(

Here's what I do:

1) Flash the 2.34.1 rom

2) Root it

3) install defy recovery

4) Boot into recovery

5) Wipe settings & cache

6) restore the froyo backup

7) wipe settings & cache

8) Apply update.zip

9) wipe settings & cache

10) reboot, get into bootloader and flash the 2.2 boot only.sbf

11) wipe settings & cache

12) M logo. No boot.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
too many wipes,

do this:

1) Flash the 2.34.1 rom or 2.21, but not 2.51

2) Root it

3) install defy recovery

4) Boot into recovery

5) restore the froyo backup

6) Apply update.zip

7) wipe settings & cache

8) reboot, get into bootloader and flash the 2.2 boot only.sbf
[Defy Android Development] _ReBoot_:
Do not work camera

Do not work milestone overclock because name the name of the phone is me525 not mb 525

do nоt deleted blur

It can be corrected somehow?
[Defy Android Development] Filipitripi:
sure, but have to wait for new rom improved :)
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
the best of all this is that those who have 2.51 and can not downgrage we can have froyo.

thanks tenfar, hope you fix recovery froyo compatibility.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
This is what I did the first time - still no luck :(
[Defy Android Development] nisamtetreb:
Thank you very much, it worked for me too fortunately. Doing this seems dodgy sm a couple posted about problems in various topics about flashing, recovery stuff, etc.

Thanks but unfortunately after booting successfully into 2.2, setting up my accounts, APN and receiving email, the next reboot after a shut down stays at the M logo.

edit:

It seems to boot into the system, I can hear the notification of USB connection and I can get into adb shell too.

It also turns off the screen automatically, but I can only see the M logo on black background, not the lockscreen.

edit2:

After adb rebooting with the USB cable left pluggefd in, it boots normally. I think some other users have reported this problem already, maybe related to bad battery data?
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Try to wipe data before apply update! Maybe it works...
[Defy Android Development] joker20:
can anybody tell me why does the camera not work on this room?

thats unbelievable

i dont understand it why
[Defy Android Development] nisamtetreb:
I did that before. Anyway, it boots fine now. :)

Camera doesn't work for me either, many apps don't seem to work on the Defy too.

The author of Laser Level also tried an update just for the Defy and he doesn't know why it won't work.

Keyboard search typing and clicking a suggested result is snappy in contrast to 2.34 even with Blur. I'm missing Swipe!
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
I'm back on my heavily tweaked 2.34.1 rom, I guess I'll stay there for a few days :)

No in two minds whether to strip out the moto blur or put up with it as to be honest it runs much quicker on 2.2 than it did on 2.1 and i actually quite like it

Cracking work guys, keep up the good work! (it would be nice to get the camera issue resolved though...)

Does somebody tried to build Cyanogen from source the same way as for Droid (look here : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Sholes)

Looks quite promising and easy to do.

But Droid =! Defy.

Chances are about 50% i guess :)

BTW: The chinese Froyo build does not look very official. What do you say?

I mean without Google Apps, without a working Camera and with 1000Mhz enabled?

Would Motorola do such things? If I look at their statements to development etc. they want to give the customers a complete phone...this Rom isn't a complete one? :S
[Defy Android Development] shad0wboss:
Sorry, i didn't get that part of flashing back to my stock android 2.1, how is that possible? Please tell me !

How can i install stock 2.1 update lol?
[Defy Android Development] xabierd:
Nice to hear that :D

I have cleaned this build, installed gingerbread kb and Adw launcher and underclocked back to 800mhz and it's working great. The only thing I didn't get working is spanish voice recognition.

[Defy Android Development] walter79:
I login to facebook via browser.

Facbook shows phone LS670 = Lg Phone.

"Download Facebook for your LS670."

Could be that this rom is ported from a LG phone?
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Nothing is impossible, but I'd say that its a good deal more likely that Facebook doesnt recognise a Defy running Froyo, as this should only be possible in China and only has been possible for 5 days :)

Hate to spoil your fun, but writing to this virtual file does not work as described by Tiago Sousa at http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/wiki/SmashingTheAndroidKernel . What you would like to do instead is setting up a cross-compiler for the 2.2 Kernel and build the overclock module in that to produce the overclock driver module.

A: DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE :D

[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Very well. Then I leave it to you to answer the question as to why the camera is not working. I still think it is due to this not being a release/official version, but a pre-release/internal one.

You can buy a ticket. Fly to Beijing, China. Buy a local Defy and woohoo .. official Froyo on it! China is a hotbed of Android 2.2 now with the Meizu M9, Huawei iDEO series etc and Motorola knew the Defy couldn't compete if it's still on 2.1 ... unlike the rest of the world and yes .. the camera is not working cos it's not well-cooked as mentioned by xabierd :)
