[G2 and Desire Z General] romdroid.:
hmm let me explain this I get the standard lockscreen display before I can unlock the phone, so it goes:

On/Off Button -> Lock Screen -> unlock pattern

i want it to go On/Off Button -> Unlock Pattern

is that possible?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Did you try the app I suggested? I think it does exactly what you are looking for...

There are also other apps on the market that disable the keyguard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] romdroid.:
yes i did but it remove all unlocking...even the unlock pattern...i just want to remove the sense lockscreen not unlock pattern
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Ah sorry, I forgot it did that (I use WidgetLocker now to actually replace the lockscreen). I also don't run Sense, so there's normally no lockscreen anyway when pattern lock in enabled.

Looked online and seems like it is a common complaint among Sense users. No good solutions appear to exist from just my quick searches (short of switching to a different). Maybe someone else will have some ideas...
[G2 and Desire Z General] romdroid.:
k thx for ur answer i hope someone have a solution

Leaked in a Chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com) by enigmer

It flashes! And it is UK 3.4.2/froyo.

Haptic feedback is almost gone, that's the obvious one. No signal issues (not in 3G reception, so can't say much about that)

Use at your own risk.

update:

ok, maybe i should have mentioned the first time around:

well since its a spitting image of it's tmo cousin (if you look at the system dump), so yes it's a one way

ticket and you'll never get back where you started unless you were on tmo version

and german, english, spanish, french, italian, dutch, portuguese (all with multiple variants) are included.

no serious bugs found yet, but since i'm not actually using the phone, just playing with the files, i can't

say much about it.

[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
Great! According to my theory: this firmware has cdt version 4, same as US 3.4.2, thus it's undowngradeable to 2.21/2.34/2.51, but swappable with US leak.

No i didn't flash it, but it seems all legit.

Hi,

Can you confirm is this a UK Froyo?

I cant seem to work out how to download the file from that site (all in chinese).

Please can you upload to mirror site.

Rom简介：

版本 3.4.2-117. system version version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB

此Rom是英国零售版本，基本没有任何附加运营商的软件。本人是用的法国水货机，之前刷了国行的2.2之后，基带版本不对，移动信号基本收不到，而且捆绑了很多不需要的软件。

我这里也有相同版本的t mobile 美国和德国的rom，还有一个vodafone 360的，但是觉得还是此零售版rom比较好。

使用感觉。闪光灯没有问题，四个按键振动没有了。界面虽然没有launchpro快，但是也是很流畅。

接电话的时候有几次触屏失效，其他没什么大的bug。

Partial translation:

Version 3.4.2-117. system version version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB

This one is the England retail version, so dosn't include carrier services.

Camera flash is ok, but the four touch buttons have no vibration. Ui is not as fast as launcherpre, but very smooth overall.

The screen failed to respond several times when answering incoming calls. No major bugs aside from that.

You are right.

If it is rootable, would you please post a nandroid backup of this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy Android Development] racca:
yes, but well, i'm still stuck with sloooooow connection, so, i'd expect someone else to post it first.:p

edit, actually, i can post it with 115 after i'm done with system dump. then you'll be able to re-up it.

I don't recommend flashing this ROM since is undowngradable but you can still follow this steps:

i wont be downgrading - but i dont want a bricked phone as well

What i meant is that this ROM is unfinished, with bugs, and 2.51 is the best ROM i used so far, i regret getting out of 2.51 to this one :|
[Defy Android Development] rahulsh:
aah okk thx ;-)
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
As usual, i couldn't wait and flashed this one.

I came from german unbranded firmware, and i did

1. backup everything with TitaniumBackup

2. flashed the rom with RSD Lite

3. noticed everything crashing and lagging because of the google-sync (?)

4. factory reset

5. everything was clean and smooth, so i readded the motoblur-account

6. phonebook and stuff were back again

7. startet the market and searched for paypal, it didn't appear

8. installed the Market_Protected_Apps_Fix_And_Camera_Mod_2.2UK.zip via restore

9. everything works fine for now, including:

camera (photo + video), mobile network, phone-calls, sms, wlan, flashlight (!) and so on.

just writing this if someone other germans want to know ;)
[Defy Android Development] rahulsh:
one more thing so that i flash correctly -i just flash the sbf - no need to apply any boot image after flashing so that i do not get BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH as this is not downgradable

PS - I have few hours old defy only :p
[Defy Android Development] rahulsh:
Was yours 2.51 version with blur?
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Going to this ROM you will not get a black screen, but you can get a bootloop, for that you have to flash the boot only for this rom, search a bit for it, don't know where it is atm.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
My experiences contradict yours. Though I have not flashed 2.51, I did try 2.21.0, 2.34.1 and the Chinese Froyo. This one, for me, easily out-does those three.

That said, as with any release, make backups and only flash if you feel you actually need any new features provided, or are certain that flashing will fix problems you are having with your current setup. If it's not broken - do not try fixing it.
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
didn't check before, though it was german unbranded, which i guess is 2.21 or so - correct me if i'm wrong!

and it was stock, so yes, with blur

Hi all,

I have check my data manager on this rom and its seems very hi 50mb a day on average. i wonder if anyone else has checked how much data is being used.

I only have a weather widget running in the background.
[Defy Android Development] ellendel:
I have flashed this rom with the hope that it could fix my problem with the flash camera, it is completely desynch yet.

Am i the only one with this problem? is it possible any solution?

My history 2.34 deblur with jit then china froyo, 2.34 deblur rom again( flash desynch but working), t-mobile 3.4.2 and now this one UK3.4.2. flash working but useless for the desynch.

I mean, does anyone know how to remove the preinstalled swype and install another version?

Its strange because it is an UK ROM and the portuguese version is PT-BT not PT-PT :X

I got a random restart of my phone yesterday, it rebootet without asking for the PIN again. besides from that - everything fine for now.

a bit offtopic: i noticed that sometimes when i recieve a call, i have to slide the green phone-symbol to answer, and sometimes, i just have to tab. that was allready the case before, with the stock-rom, but i thought it would be because i was using launcherpro. now it still occours. strange.
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
Everything sounds good about this UK Froyo...one thing. I'm on Australian Telstra which runs 850 band I'm led to believe (but not sure??). It does fall back onto 2100 band, but only get full 3G experience on 850.

I've noticed the first 2 x UK SBF's run on 900/2100, NOT 850. [See below link]

http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy (what is the stock Telstra SBF they're using then??)

Can any Aussie users out there confirm...TIA...

[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
Hi there,

I have been running this rom for a day and have the LG weather widget and blur running with social networking updates and email from a number of accounts and i have only used a couple of mb of data. So it doesnt look to hungry on data usage to me!

Have you downloaded all of your market apps via the net rather than wifi?

Hope this info helps you.

looking at data usage by activity its nearly all gallery ?

i have reset the counter to see if its just an error.

Anyone on telstra Australian network try this? Does it support 850Mhz band? the previous UK firmwares have only supported 900/2100.
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
I still haven't flashed this. I'm reluctant because I flashed before and then my earpiece broke and the phone had to be replaced. Fortunately they didn't check the operating system so there were no problems with the warranty. I want to go up to 2.2, but as I'm already on 2.5.1, I won't be able to do so and then go back. Do people think that the jump is worth it and are people still running it without any problems?

Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I have not tried 2.5.1, but I have taken the leap of faith to the UK Froyo SBF (the only modification I made to it, is to use the haptic-feedback fix. Not overclocked/undervolted). I run it without problems.
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Thanks for that. Increasingly tempted to make the jump.
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
you should do mate it really brings the phone to life been running it since release and its solid as a rock only thing ive done to it was add the haptic feedback fix
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Ta. Think I'll go for it tomorrow then. Did you wipe first or just do a straight flash?
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
i did a wipe before and after flashing and had no troubles

[Defy Android Development] mrt3k:
I also do have this kinda problem. Data consumption of several MBs, not 50, but some, without anything installed that is meant to go online automatically. I even installed a firewall that is set to block everything. Anyway there is data traffic in each hour - without a chance of deactivating it if I dont want to deactivate the data feature completely. Strange thing....
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
OK so finally flashed the update and Froyo is soooo fast... :) This is hugely better than anything Eclair...there is really no need to go back. Thanks for all the posters who provided comment and help throughout this thread, very helpful!

One issue, when I started the Market was the old version and could only get it to stop force close by turning off wireless...but once it updated to new version and phone rebooted, wireless now working...thank God...so I suppose not really an issue. :)

OK one more issue, have flashed one of the 850Mhz radio fixes, but it didn't work (the CN 850/2100). I'll try flashing a few more but if anyone from Aus Telstra has had success getting full radio back, let me kno.

EDIT: Flashed the US 850/900/1700/2100 one and it worked a treat!

camrecorder not working

Hi There,

Playing with this ROM.

a) I did the market protected apps fix with video improvement. Still I dont see paypal application in the market

b) Camrecorder application does not startup.

Any tips. Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
A friends of mine got the same, if you got a BT33 the all in one fix might brick your camcorder. try applying the market fix alone, its available here without the camfix, it should work. To get the camcorder working again, I guess, you need to replace the framework.apk again.

Sent from my Defy / uk 2.2
[Defy Android Development] sattiger27:
Thanks for the details.

Please suggest how to replace the framework.apk. Is there a link, you could suggest. Thanks.

Let me look for the market fix.
[Defy Android Development] racca:
you don't have to do any of that. you just need to restore your blurcamera.apk/odex

the easiest way to do that is to re-flash the same sbf *without* wiping
[Defy Android Development] sattiger27:
Thank you.

a) *Re-Flash the SBF* - Should i flash the 2.2 chinese sbf or 3.4.2.117 sbf? (FYI - I was initially with 2.2 chinese rom and upgraded to 3.4.2.117 rom). Thanks

b) About the market, i tried only the market zip update. After update, cleared cache and restart the market. Still not working. I am not able to see the paypal app.

Am I doing something wrong. Please suggest.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
Where is the bootonly file from this rom?
[Defy Android Development] mrt3k:
I do have the problem that my Defy restarts just when a call comes in. Restart at least 50% of calls and receiving SMS / MMS. Unfortunately not reproducible because the device sometimes restarts , sometimes not - with the same number calling.

Addidionally the phone restarts 2 times a day just so, although it has been hours in standby or is charging.

Task Killer is installed, but without auto-kill. I also tried to uninstall all the apps, that could have been the potential cause - no change. It does not seem to be due to an app.

Does anyone have any idea why this might happen and what I could do about it?
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Have you modified any system settings - removed packages, overclocking/undervolting, used a de-ODEX package?
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Been running this for a few weeks and very happy with it. One thing I've noticed that's changed is that the Data Manager doesn't only include data sent via my mobile connection, but that sent via wifi as well. I'm not sure if that matters, but my mobile connection appears to be restricted to 128k (as checked by Speed Test), which is supposed to happen after 500MB, but 3G watchdog has me on only about 130 while the data manager has it at nearer 700.

I start a new month on the 27th, so maybe the speed will go back up then, but does anyone have any idea how to gt Data Manager to go back to just recording the network traffic? Or is this something that's changed in 2.2.

[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Just read this thread with interest & it has persuaded me to have a go at flashing the sbf 3.4.2-117.

I'm currently running the standard version that came with my Defy which is 2.21 GB version. I have deleted some apps (Amazon MP3 etc) that came as standard & was going to wait for an official release but going off the problems some of the USA owners have had with their recent update I'm guessing that any OTA updates now wouldn't work due to "things missing".

I've read the thread by Higgsy about flashing a sbf (very good guide it is) & feel that I can manage this easily, however I do have some questions that I would like to clear up in my mind before I start so that I know I have everything covered..

Is it OK to flash 3.4.2-117 sbf coming straight from 2.21?

Do I need to wipe data/cache before or after I flash the new sbf?

Also I am currently rooted with Z4Root, running setvsel & droidwall so do I need to unroot before I flash or will the flash just just remove the root access?

Sorry for all the questions but i just want to get it clear in my own mind before I start.

Any comments from UK owners that have flashed from 2.21 to 3.4.2-117 would be good.

Any help appreciated,

Sean.

*edit just to clear up i am currently on eclair 2.1 and blur version 2.21
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
OK don't worry guys I might just leave it until the official release & see what happens - have got the 3.4.2-117 on my PC ready just in case I change my mind but I've also got the stock UK 2.1 Eclair sbf loaded onto my PC so could if needed go to that one before any official release.
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
OK change of plan (again) while doing a google search for 3.4.2-117 I noticed that there's a fix for Haptic feedback & it's on XDA only not on this thread so I never noticed it.

So I took the plunge & flashed the sbf, rooted with Superoneclick, installed the haptic fix & everything went to plan.

Not sure if the camera flash is working yet?

Thanks to all who have posted regarding this firmware.
