isn't swype included?

Hi Higgsy,

Thanks for sharing your rom!!, I am testing it right now and everything is OK so far, just I cannot see swype anywhere... isn't it installed with this froyo version? Have you tried to get and install it from somewhere?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
No swype isn't included in the Chinese Froyo, stock wise there is some shady moto keyboard, which I removed. You'll have to get swype from the market or you may be able to pull it from the 2.1 rom, although, its not as simple as just installing the apk.
[Defy Android Development] siukeee:
OK I didn't know, I have installed from swypeinc.com and It is working!
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
No, I've never been on 2.51, always used 2.34. But I tried to flash first 2.21, than 2.2 and follow your guide. That didn't help too... Maybe my problem is related to the camera fixes, what I tried before from another topic. :confused:

Hi again,

I have followed the guide and my flash camera is working, ok I just tried the camera a few times but all of them worked.

I think Market is not working, I can get in and search but when the download starts it stays at 0% downloading... is that normal? maybe do I have to uninstall/reinstall it?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
You tried those fixes after the new method I posted? I think the key thing here is if you've never been on 2.51, don't flash those fixes for sure - I have it working wothout the fixes x- Its all in the method I'm sure
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
I used those fixes before trying your ROM and method, I didn't mix those fixes with your ROM (wiped cache and data, flashed a clean ROM before applying your ROM). So probably the fixes are responsible for my problem. :(
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I flashed those a while back - they shouldn't cause an issue. Did you wipe data by clockworkmod recovery?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
probably a reboot - or it could just be the market playing around (as it does regularly) Trying clearing data and uninstalling updates for Market only
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
Sure I did, did everything exactly as you described, didn't miss anything. :o I think I'm gonna skip this problem for now till somebody finds a general solution. :)
[Defy Android Development] vanloque:
Superb work Higgsy, thanks for your dedication! :D

I'm backing-up my phone now (2.21), and i'm gonna make my first try of this chinese froyo!

I sure hope that you guys will also make us do the transition to 2.3, when this 2.2 is made complete and stable ! :)

Edit: about the cpu clock, to make your speeds work, we need to install the setscaling.sh file manually, right?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Pleasure to do it to be fair mate. Please follow the guide in the OP to the last letter.

The setscaling scripts/milestone overclock are already included configured, so should work out the box, providing you don't wipe data because that will wipe the milestone overclock settings.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I don't think there will ever be a general solution to be fair, but hope there maybe is - its a crappy bug. I believe it has someing to do with another partition that gets flashed, the problem is we've got so many people coming from so many different firmwares, it VERY hard to pin point.

@Higgsy

Is it possible to have vset4 working (work with 4 available frequencies) with this ROM?

Andy
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
shouldn't be a problem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880851

I've not tried it myself on this rom, but should be no different. I did apply 4 scaling steps previously ok when I wrote the above guide.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Before I try this later today, and I realize this may be a bit of an off-topic question: is Swype still part of this package and if not, can I just install the apk after having made a backup from a previous rom?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Have a look at the posts form around 4 hours ago mate was discussed there.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Ah, I see ;)
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
Thanks for the rom Higgsy, much appreciated. Just liked to let you know that everything is working well so far, flashed from UK 2.21.

Had to manually input the apn for my network (3 Mobile UK) to get 3g working. I also wiped the data from Gallery to get it working proper (used titanium backup). Also I used a titanium backup of setvsel and its working, no force close on my end.

For the latest swype beta, follows the steps in my post in the following thread;

I have seen this too. I tried different settings like:

echo "2 550000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo "3 300000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table" > /system/xbin/setscaling.sh

->also with and without quotes. Starting the freq_table with 0 or 1, but no go. Defy restarts. I suppose the problem is with the freq_table

Can somebody try also please?

Andy
[Defy Android Development] MadStu:
No, I never went to 2.51 because of your warnings on the Modaco posts.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
My defy would not handle a vsel of 14 @300mhz - that looks way to low mate. also you don't need quotes,

This is the way it should look. I would also recommend usig text editor in root explorer and also check for rogue characters that appear sometimes at the end of the lines I found I got this if editing in word pad on the PC. Also make sure the permissions are set correctly.

[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Did you happen to try the camera when you loaded up the 2.34 rom, to make sure the flash worked ok?
[Defy Android Development] siukeee:
I found when I tap on the data manager to show the app data usage it does nothing, it is accumulating though... you can see the total amount used.

any work around with this? is it also happening to anyone?
[Defy Android Development] MadStu:
Yes it works on 2.34. I've just now installed the 2.34 sbf again as I use the camera a lot when I'm trail riding. I think I'll wait for the official Motorola Android 2.2 release for the UK or Europe, due soon I hope!

Thanks :D
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Possibly the extra frequency step. As I said I haven't tested myself with 4 freq steps on this ROM. I'll have a look later when I've finished work.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Try using ti backup to wipe the data only for the datamanager app. I think I may have forgotten to wipe this before I put this out
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Got give up hope mate Q2 could mean anywhere up to July!, I have a theory that I am going to test out later. Watch this space.
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
My last post mentioned that I fixed the gallery app with a Titanium Backup data wipe, but its still messed up.

When you select a folder with pictures in it, it doesn't show whats supposed to be in the folder you have selected, it will open another in the list.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

##Edit##

Ok found it works ok when in vertical mode, but if the phone is held horizontal, the glitch I described comes back.
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
I tried this method and it looks like my flash is finally working (after reboot as well). When taking a picture the flashlight's color is a kind of green, but it's still better than nothing. :)

Edit:

Camera 360 killed the flash, wipe didn't help... Tried to restart the phone, but no luck, it's working only one time. :(
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Okay, time to give this another shot. I can not say I like the idea of having to manually enter my APN, but I suppose it's a minor inconvenience compared to what else could be wrong and isn't.

Not got the issue myself works ok

heres the apk if you want to replace, in case thats the issue

Can I put that ROM in my Defy with JORLA_U3_6.14.5???

Or just to 2.21 or 2.34?

And i can install PT-BR language on this ROM?

1) yes but follow the process,

2)Yes if you know how to do it - its not that easy though! Only English on this ROM

Just finished the process - it has changed quite a bit since I tried it yesterday evening :)

Flash worked twice in a row, so I assume it is not broken for me.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
always tweaking based on feedback from peeps lol
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Thank you and keep up the good work :)

I'm just putting back my applications now, some from Titanium Backup - those with data I need, but most fresh as I want to be sure there are no incompatibility errors between data saved with 2.1 and 2.2.

[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
i came from 2.34 and i did the whole thing step by step as you told in the last update, my flash worked two times and guess what, the bug is back. i got no luck with froyo in my defy. this is the only bug that makes me not to run it yet, looking for a final solution on this, btw this chinese doenst have SWYPE so i had to install it the beta one.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I don't think there will ever be a definitive solution due to it being such a weird bug.
[Defy Android Development] siukeee:
Just in case this is useful... I don't know how but I was taking pics yesterday and the flash worked pretty good, never failed... fingers crossed.

I came from a 2.21 -> 2.34 and never been in 2.51, I used the first guide Higgsy posted (before the changes at 19/01).

I realized I am becoming a willing tester :D , did anyone take a look into the 2G signal strength? I guess, at least here in Spain, my defy has lose some signal compared to 2.34 ROM. (i like to be under 2G mode because of the battery usage).

has somebody ever tried this fix called ifunzbaseband for european bands? I took it from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915759
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
people have used it, I don't think it will hurt - give it a try I personally haven't noticed any reduction in the radio coverage, so haven't felt the need to use it , thing is I live in a city where the signal is pretty damn good, however my house is like the walls are lined with lead and have had signal issues in the past with other phones - Defy still fine.
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
First off, thanks Higgsy for the gallery file, I'll try it when I get a chance.

I'm experiacing a notification since installing this Rom where sign in authentication has failed for Google Talk. I have since uninstalled Google Talk yesterday, but after a recovery reboot (I installed the market app fix) I got the same notification. Anyone have this? Anyone know how to fix?
[Defy Android Development] siukeee:
I can remember I had to make something to put GTalk working, I cannot remember the error message but I think it was so. Try a data wipe for Gmail, GTalk (from settings-Manage App). I also found I had to wipe for Market because I couldn't download apps, it was stalled at 0% and I made some wipes and it worked. There are lots of threads googling about market and gtalk issue and how to fix it.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
You are having some weird niggles matey for sure, none of which I have experienced. have you tried deleteing your google account and setting back up?
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
I will try all these suggestions and get back to you. Don't uninstall Google Talk, whatever you do, as I can't re-install it back, and now my market doesn't download. Gonna system restore to get it back.
[Defy Android Development] HowlinMadMurdoc:
Hey so I was able to get this working superly on my Defy, thanks for the guide!

only problem I notice is when the phone isnt being used it repeatedly restarts, once it has finished rebooting it will stay like that for a couple mins until it restarts again.

though this doesnt happen when the phone is in use or running something, eg if i am backing up stuff via titantium backup or playing music on spotify or just general usage of my phone it does not restart.

any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Mate don't do that - just reinstall the gapps, you can get them here in this package:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899704

just flash that via clockworkmod - sweet!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
possibly the overclocking

Can you try unloading the module in milestone overclock app, unchecking the load on boot and then monitor it please. Let me know what happens
[Defy Android Development] HowlinMadMurdoc:
Ok I did this and unfortunately... still the same problem.
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
Too late! Now I can't connect to server for any data required app! Gonna reload the Rom and start again.
[Defy Android Development] HowlinMadMurdoc:
Though I doubt the issue is isolated to just your ROM, im trying a different ROM to see what happens.
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
Saw you msg too late! Do not system restore, it messes up links to the server, and most data required apps stop working. Gonna Wipe and restore the Rom and start again. Lesson learnt...
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
It could be abother app causing it. I would probably reflash from the start and test before you install your apps
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Yeah mate I would suggest starting from the top using the method in the OP. Let us know how it goes.

Problem with signal

I am using Higgsy's ROM Froyo 2.2.1. While I as in a city where is 3G coverage I had no problems with RADIO. But when I travelled home where is only 2G coverage I lost all signal strength and I can't figure out where is the problem.

Is it possilbe that this ROM doesnt support 2G network ?

thx
[Defy Android Development] Foxhound.kl:
Ok restored ROM, and back to square one. Getting the Gtalk sign in problem as soon as finish booting up. It seems to be the Talk app itself, which hangs on "signing in" but never actually does. Will investigate further to resolve.

Higgsy, that that MediaGallery.rar is blank, could you please repost?

What I have noticed is that the SetVsel works as long as you have the Milestone overclock app installed also. I had uninstalled the Milestone OC app, and thats when the SetVsel app started force closing.
[Defy Android Development] gridrun:
I've probably found the cause of this problem, i have downgraded to FrozenEclaire 2.34 ROM where everything works perfectly. The main reason for it not to work is that the RADIO in chinese version supports only 850 / 1900 which isn't used for 2G conection and thats why the signal strength drops to zero.

So if anyone can extract the radio from european version and insert it into 2.2 would be great.
[Defy Android Development] theles:
I'm probably wrong, but, on this topic there's a 3G fix for the same problem. It fix only the 3G?

Hi Higgsy, I'm using your rom now, and it's really fast.

I am now trying to put the stock Chinese Moto Input back since that's the best Chinese input I have ever used.

However, the system rejected me to manually instanll the app.

And I tried a stupid method:

1. Extract your "2.2CN_Deodex.zip" file.

2. Find some apps that I need and delete the other apps in system/app folder.

3. Make them a Zip file again and install it in revocery mode.

It turns out that some apps work, like toggle widgets, but the Chinese input doesn't,

(although they have been sucessfuly moveed into the phone.)

In the original 2.51 system, the Chinese input related files are:

a. GuoBiIME_MOTO_RUTH.apk

b. MotoSmartHandWriting.apk

c. Pinyin.apk

But in 2.2 system, I can only find:

a. MotoSmartHandWriting.apk

b. Pinyin.apk

c. MotoImeTutorial.apk(?)

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Prob easiest way is to flash the 2.2 deodex package via clockworkmod and once flashed remove the other apps you don't want via TI Backup or the like.

If I remember correctly if you remove any apk.s related to the moto keyboard, it stops working altogether (I found this when trying to remove chinese)

Quick question I couldn't find an answer to:

How would I delete/remove/uninstall system/nonsystem apps i.e. Titanium Backup?

[Defy Android Development] Jasper.tw:
You are right.

That's the easiest way.

Thanks, Higgsy.

You can use Root Explorer to do that.

GOOGLE is your best friend.

type "android system app remove"
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
If you want total control over your system, then probably just best to install the 2.2CN .sbf and remove what ever apps you want?

2G connection lost, solved

Thx for your advice. It really did the trick.

I used recovery to install the radio from older ROM 2.34.

Don't know why it didn't work before, but its probably because the GSM provider in my country doesnt support 850/1900 band for my region.

What you on about? my flash works fine, as does other peoples, however I am aware some people have the issue. I can't see anything new from Bihariel in this respect, unless its somewhere other than XDA. In my experience the existing fixes have not fixed the issues that people have on my ROM, not at least for people who came from 2.21/2.34, For this ROM I don't recommend flashing them. Bihariels fixes/rom are good for people coming from 2.51, seen as though thats where he came from so he knows all the issues that came from it.

tried to reinstall it, but the same happens

any workaround for this? or i have to flash it all over again? :(

After re-restoring this Rom, I still had problems with GTalk authentication. I think I pin pointed the problem to a couple of apps I had backed up from my original Rom which I restored, perhaps causing the issue. They were Droidwall and Juice Defender. I uninstalled, and I can sign in to Talk app now, and no issues with Market downloading. So far.

Edit** scratch the above comments. Tried to update the app adfree, which caused GTalk authentication fail again, and market downloads stopped. Gonna Clockwork recover cache wipe and see if that works.

Edit 2** ok, cache wiped and rebooted. Can login to Talk app for now, and updated adfree app ok, but subsequant app downloads fail. Turned off USB debugging and rebooted, now market downloads ok.

One thing that is bugging me is the notification led when USB is plugged in and charging. It always lights up white, even when the screen is active. This wasn't the case in 2.21 rom. Any way to turn this off?
