I'm flashing the Chinese rom to my Defy right now, to see if I can extract the dialer app, I sure miss smart dialing from my HTC Desire. Applying it to the 2.1 (2.34.1) rom would be totally kickass :cool:
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
You could try Dialer One, it is a free smart dialer from the market.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
...but where's the fun in that? :D

(Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a go if I can't make the chinese froyo one work.)

Update: The chinese dialer wouldn't install on eclair, makes sense I guess - But Dialer One is pretty sweet!
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
aContact is another good option. CAn do similar things as Dialer One plus better Addressbook management.
[Defy Android Development] PlayTimou:
I prefer Youlu, less laggy, and beautiful interface in my mind !
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I like the acontacts, only thing missing is copy number to clipboard (which I am using alot atm). I had to select 'big keys' in t9 settings to get the letters showing up. Thx
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Is this rom now rootable?
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Not yet, but two of XDA's finest are working on it :)
[Defy Android Development] ChrisFilo:
My impressions

I've been using this ROM since it was released and here are my impressions.

1. Edge, HSDPA, 3G and roaming are working fine (on T-Mobile UK).

2. Camera is working without any problems.

3. I had to do a data wipe to make it work properly.

4. Sound in last.fm is choppy whenever you are doing anything involving CPU usage (even scrolling and typing using swype).

5. Heavy applications like games seem to work and run faster.

6. Flash works perfectly well (I can finally use iPlayer).

7. Zooming big websites with images seems to be less smooth, but I might be just imagining things.

8. There are some permanent (until we get root) extra apps installed (alternative amrket, some games, bing etc.), but I don't think they slow the system down.

9. Overall the system seems stable.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
You might want to take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899450 - We have root ;)
[Defy Android Development] DunkDream:
So it's right that you have a working Camera?

Then we have everything working in this Rom. Maybe it's then time for me to flash it :)

To get the camera working you just wiped the data in the recovery?
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Even though everything is functional, I feel that point 4 means it's not for every-day use just yet.
[Defy Android Development] f4lkon:
I can not confirm that camera is working. I had made a data wipe.
[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
hi.

Please.can you confirm whether or not your camera is working or not.

I thought that issue still affected the 2.2 froyo for defy.

Thanks

Andy
[Defy Android Development] ChrisFilo:
Yes - the camera works perfectly fine. Mind that I am talking about the stock 2.2 ROM that was published in this thread (NOT the rooted 2.2 which surfaced recently). I believe there might be some connection between rooting, camera errors and other stability issues and that is why I believe that the stock 2.2 is a safer option (for now).

To be precise about data wiping. First I have wrote the 2.2 ROM over my stock ROM (the one I got with the handset, don't remember the version), installed google apps, wiped the data (because I was experiencing random errors).

The last.fm bug is quite peculiar. It doesn't bother me that much because playback is fine if you are not using your phone for anything else (and this is how I usually listn to music). It just seems that last.fm is hogging the CPU, but when I check in task monitor the reported CPU usage is 0%.
[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
Thanks for the reply.

I had upgraded my rom to 2.5.1 which i believe prevented me from installing the original release, so in the end i went from a clean rom that was based on 2.3.4 to the rooted 2.2 froyo. So unfortunately i havent been able to check that version out to see if the camera works for me.

How did you get root to be able to install the google apps that were missing off this build?

Having spent hours moving apk's in and out i am very happy with the rooted 2.2 it is quicker than any other rom i have been using day to day on my defy. It has not frozen up or caused me any issues at all. It is just an annoyance that the camera doesnt work.

cheers

[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
hi all,

I've a problem with this rom (or rooted version).

The gsm signal is very poor than other 2.1 rom tested. My connexion cut at anytime, and my phone say "no service"...

With any other rom tested, i don't meet this problem.

Does anyone meet this problem too ??

I'm frusted because this rom is working very well (rooted, titanium backup so i've cleaned some apps,etc..) but without camera and poor gsm/3g signal...

Thanks for any feedback
[Defy Android Development] ChrisFilo:
I have no such problems with the stock (unrooted) 2.2 ROM.
[Defy Android Development] DunkDream:
Small question to all of you guys that have this (and not the rooted 2.2) Rom running on your phones.

Could someone check out the CPU frequenzy? I cannot believe that it's 1000MHz. I think someone changed something in the rooted Rom to make the Defy run at 1GHz.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Are we sure the rom posted in the first post is an official/unmodified one? Perhaps it has 'tweaks' such as a custom clock-setting/voltage applied.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Root Version:

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] Jawzz:
To flash do I have to unroot?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
No you don’t
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
I'm running @1ghz too.

Ok thanks for your feedback.

That's strange because i get NO SERVICE again at home, and usually i've no problem to get a valid gsm signal....

Anyone have test it in France running Orange service ?
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
I had the same weak signal problem with 2.2, especially with rooted version. Sometimes signal lossed (just emergency call), so I moved back to 2.1.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Have you tried checking the band it uses to connect? Open the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* -> Select "Phone information" -> scroll to the bottom and check the drop down menu "Set preferred network type"
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
Hmm, I didn't check it. Which option should be ticked under preferred network type?

I just tried to set both 2G and 3G options in the phone menu, but I never had this kind of issue with other ROMs.
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
Hi,

I don't check this... But now i've just downgrade to 2.1, and network it set to GSM Auto (PRL)

So i'll try to upgrade again to this rooted 2.2 rom and check this :)

Many thanks, hoping this will work
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
With UK Vodafone I have the same issue where 3G works fine but 2G doesn't with the 2.2 ROM. The *#*#4636#*#* trick does not help.

I had exactly the same problem with the @HandlerExploit 2.1 ROM which had the bp_nvm_default folder from the USA image. So I copied the bp_nvm_default folder from the Euro 2.34.1 SBF and it fixed the problem.

When I was playing with the 2.2 ROM it wasn't yet rooted so I couldn't try this fix.

Fingers crossed these files will be compatible between 2.1 and 2.2.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
For what it's worth, I've got tons of data connection on 2G as well as 3G here in Denmark, running the Rooted chinese froyo :)
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
Hi,

could you tell how to extract this bp_nvm_default please ?
[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
dnsdenis :

I'm near paris :) From time to time even with my 2.1 I am loosing my network link and it's not related to the GSM mode since it is properly activated.

The fix that I do is to recheck the network operators available and then choose one manually (Orange in your case) and I can retrieve proper reception.

under : Parameters>Network and Wireless Parameters>Mobile Network>Operator Choice (it's a bad translation from my french version :D )

BR,

Kribou
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
Network option checked with 2.2 rom and it also set to GSM AUTO(PRL)....

Hi :)

Thank you but i've already made this setting with no success...
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
Hi again,

I've just retreive all radio file from original Motorola 2.1 rom (v2.34) and push it to the Froyo 2.2 chinese rom rooted by tentar.

It seems to solve my gsm signal issue...

update issue coming soon after testing some hour.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
That is really good news! Once the camera gets fixed I will give it another go.

Shame tenfar has bricked his defy :(
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
I confirm, using radio files from 2.1 rom solve my gsm signal issue!

I'll try to solve camera issue but not sure to win...
[Defy Android Development] f4lkon:
@dnsdenis: im on the rooted 2.2 and if you look in the logs with alogcat and open your camera you get always

E/CameraHal(1159): GetNextPreviewFrame Error/1 frame:0x0, buffer:0x0

and

E/CameraHal(1159) Failed getting the calibration data!

mby we need the libcamera.so or liboemcamera.so from from another working build.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
could we use the files from unrooted rom?
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
We *might* just have gotten a working one-click root for this rom, I'm flashing it as I type this :)
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
sound good.
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
Sweet. Looking forward to it.
[Defy Android Development] SteveChou:
waiting for good news
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
Ok we're waiting :D , hoping this work :o
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
There seems to be a fresh exploit out, but I haven't been able to make it work for the Defy - without a doubt, because of my limited skills :)

JBoogie3 is on the case, he'll look into it when he gets home tonight :)

Anybody feeling adventurous, knock yourselves out: http://c-skills.blogspot.com/
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Doesn`t work. i replaced this files with this one from unrooted 2.2 rom.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
The new exploit doesn't work I tried it, gets the same error as many others reported on various devices. Back to the drawing board, or 2.34.1 in my case:(
[Defy Android Development] dnsdenis:
i follow up this thread because it's, for me, actually the best way to get froyo on your defy

- Fist all make a nandroid backup of your actual system

- Wipe data and cache

- Use RSD Lite and flash your defy with the original unrooted Chinese Froyo rom from the 1st page of thread

- use the new one click root software http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913709

- apply the MARKET update with update_gaaps_for_clockwordmod.zip (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899450 )

And you can use titanium backup after installing manually busybox to uninstall any unneeded application :)
[Defy Android Development] ellendel:
I have installed setcpu and it says the cpu is running at 800mhz,

i thought this china rom of froyo was overclocked to 1ghz.:confused:
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
What about google apps. Shouldnt we install that thru zip update?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
if you want google market you should use this zip
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
imo the stock chinese rooted via super one click offers worse performance than the 2.34.1 with JIT In terms of benchmarks it is pretty much the same, however in everyday use the touch screen doesn't seem very responsive - ie really having to press the touch screen to get it to respond and very laggy/stuttery when scrolling through. Yes I did wipe and also reinstalled 3 times to check it wasn't anything to do with the process. My current verdict is I'm on 2.1 for now, back to my silky smooth 2.34 for now
[Defy Android Development] f4lkon:
Its true that Chinese froyo isnt so responsive like 2.34.1 but with Chinese froyo i get one day more batterylife so i would never go back to 2.34 ;)
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
wth? I'm on the newly rooted stock froyo and it's doing great - as soon as I get LauncherPro installed, until then, it's a laggy pile of molasses!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I wish it was but I can't be doing with laggy roms (I use LP). I even restored my apps from market, in case the titanium backup restote was causing issues lol. I get 2 to 3 days on 2.34 which is ample, id like flash but I can wait. The biggest thing is the sensitivity of the touch screen its even unrespobsive in the stock recovery, once flashed 2.34 sbf all was back to normal.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Oh and I deodexed it in case that helped
[Defy Android Development] shamo42:
could you please share the deodexed files?

Sorry for the question...

edit: I'm going to flash the sbf and I think that is the way to install google apps...

[Defy Android Development] shamo42:
thanks! it would save me a lot of time.
[Defy Android Development] vshymanskyy:
Wow. I'm really impressed!

And I'd like to share those impressions! :)

What I did just now:

1. Updated from TMob USA to this official Chinese 2.2.

(RSD lite, than wipe was needed)

2. Rooted using SuperOneClickFor2.1.zip

3. Installed Google apps.

4. OC to 1100 Mhz using Milestone Overclock latest beta.

5. Removed Chinese/unused apps using System App Remover.

6. Unloaded the rest using ATK.

7. Performed several performance tests! ;)

Results:

Quadrant 1474, Linpack 14.6

Disk Benchmark:

10Mb/4Kb

NAND 2.41 write, 3.16 read

SDHC 3.44 write, 3.69 read

10Mb/1Mb

NAND 26.11 write, 97.09 read

SDHC 32.36 write, 81.97 read

Everything seems working fine.

I mean GSM/EDGE, Camera/Flashlight, Gmail, Market, Flashplayer, Custom Recovery..

Didn't check every singe app yet! ;)

I find it useable, and I'm not going to restore my backups.

It runs so smooth...

The only thing I'm missing right now is SetVSel support...
[Defy Android Development] MadStu:
Hello mate,

I've gone through the same steps as you, but where do you get the latest beta of Milestone Overclock?

[Defy Android Development] vshymanskyy:
These:

http://filekeeper.org/download/defy/Defy_google apps for chinese 2.2.zip

Rename it to update.zip, move to SD card root, and install using stock recovery (vol-down + power on)

Seems it's faster/better than installing them manually after rooting.
[Defy Android Development] TheKonqa:
Thank you very much,

now im ready to pwn my phone ^^ :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rasih5503:
Hi guys Android development is evoluvating to new diamention.I have tried from Build from SD cards and RAM version and NAND ROM.The NAND ROM is better of all but the biggest disadvantage is internal storage.when many apps are installed 'memory is low' appearing.even after moving all movable apps to sd card using move2sd.some programmes use internal/phone memory like evernotes,copilot.

so my idea is can't you guys create vitual storage in sd for the NAND like the one we had in SD card based build.which is easy for portablity of data when we update.GUYS YOU ARE BEST DEVELOPPERS IN THE WORLD HERE
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vartp:
This might be useful for those with 512 version of HD2, or maybe even for 1024, and it should be pretty easy to mount file from SD same as data.img from SD builds.

But! The question I had is, do you really need to create thread with "Idea/thought" subject? Can't you call it "Increase data space for NAND builds" or "Mount data.img with NAND build" or something like that? It's cool of course to create "Idea", "Question", "Help", "Please" etc threads...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rasih5503:
Hi dude,

the reason I created this is - it gives an idea to developpers to develop in their next nand to focus on more storage as you know new native phones have more than 1Gb internal space it goes up to 16GB. As I have mentioned some apps can not be moved to SD card. You may have different idea on how to open thread which is not nessesarily same to others. Give something which is useful to development of andriod on hd2.cheers buddy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminneman:
did you do anything to your device ?

i'm asking because i have the same problem and didn't do anything at that time, i had a few freezes which forced me to remove the battery and now its stuck on the white screen, i can't flash anything either. I wasn't trying to either before this happened to me, i had winmo 6.5.x running for months, pretty much untouched since i only use android now.

.) i did a hard reset, which went really fast and did nothing.

.) tried hspl 3 ( it says succesfully flashed, but when i load the bootloader the previous version is being displayed there.

.) tried to flash:

-stock rom from sd, i get stuck in the bootloader "serial"

basicly it just does nothing...

i used a 2gb mirco sd card for that, formatted in fat32. stock rom extracted and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh. volume down + reset

-stock rom from pc/usb connection, error/timeout at 0% saying connection problems.

im running out of idea's, i got 1 month warranty left, but im afraid that it will do me no good since i used hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigermaster21703:
You need to update your spl to 2.08.hardspl AND you mostlikely need to flash your radio as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminneman:
I found out that i made a mistake while trying to flash from sd, i didn't put the leoimg at the root of the sd so it didn't get detected. I managed to get rid of the white screen after flashing but its nowhere near functional. It also gave me an error during the flash, but it carried on and finished the flash eventually...

Now when i boot winmo it says something about microp mismatch, i tried two different roms to make sure it had nothing to do with the rom i was using, it didn't... i had the same problem with both. So my guess is that something is damaged, at least hspl is gone now so i can make use of my warranty again, for the people that don't have warranty left i hope somebody comes up with a solution, if there is one, everything points to hardware damage from my point of view. Would be interesting to know how your problem developed...! anyway good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabir.581:
could u explain the procedure how to update spl to 2.08.hardspl

and flash radio...

actually i'm new with pocket pc softwares...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminneman:
Yeah sure i can do that, but before i do you need to tell me how you got that white screen in the first place. If it's not because of a failed flash attempt you probably want to keep your phone as it is now, so you can make use of your warranty... hspl makes that impossible!

It's probably a hardware problem, i looked up on that microp mismatch and it looks like a hardware failure, updating your software isn't going to solve that, it might solve the white screen issue, but the phone itself won't be functional. Try to explain what happened so i can give you proper instructions on what to do.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
If you can start your phone and enter the bootloader there is no need to sent to service.

Enter bootloader and flash from there HSPL 2.08, and flash radio too.

After that flash MAGLDR and android rom.:)

With the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button and then tap the Power button.

You will get a multicoloured screen with the word 'Serial' at the bottom. What else does the screen display?

What country and phone operator is the phone locked to?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminneman:
if you want to install a custom rom or eventually android you are going to need hspl, there are enough guides and tutorials on how to do that on this forum, search for it.

if you just want to bring the phone back to life, running windows mobile, you can go to the htc website. Go to the support section and select your phone and look for available rom updates for your phone/serial number.

connect your phone to the pc and follow the instructions of the setup and upgrade... if the phone doesn't get detected, extract ruu_signed.nbn from the setup file and rename it to leoimg.nbn

put that at the root of your sd card formatted in fat32 and boot your phone holding down the volume down button. Follow the instructions, when its done you can reboot the phone and hopefully you can make use of it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminneman:
Not really, i was able to do that and even flash an upgrade on the phone, but not without errors, the phone didn't function properly after the flash, so its very likely that something is damaged in my case. I send my phone to htc so they can repair it.
