I think its basically hard to reproduce so that's why some may not see it as it just came back. And it does not happen immediately after restarts. So will definitely eagerly await 131 :D If I can place a wish, the market hack would be really nice - I wanna try Google Earth on my Defy....
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
The market hack is included, I had google earth on the 117 (GB) and this new 131 release. I can see google earth
[Defy Android Development] gdodinet:
Perhaps you may need to indicate that flashing data image may not be necessary depending on where the user comes from. I flashed recently several froyo uk system images only (deblurred odexed uk, your rc1, jboogie's uk), and didn't encounter any issue. In any case if wiping data is necessary, this still can be done globally afterwards, or on a case by case basis (f.i., eventually for the market).
[Defy Android Development] vanloque:
I'm also curious wether it's necessary or not.

:)
[Defy Android Development] contrem:
I flashed 3.4.2 (117) using RSD Lite and then used your nandroid backup to apply your ROM.

At first everything worked fine, but then the market stopped working and I started getting the gtalk error. I tried clearing data and cache using system recovery, but that didn't worked. Now when I reflash or reapply the nandroid backup the market no longer works.

Any ideas on what I try next?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
No it won't, all that was included as data was some settings etc.

HELP ME PLEASE! im doing all the things i install clock recovery i boot into recovery, it says android system recovery 3e, when i try to apply sdcard:update it says failed to open no such file or directory? dont now what to do .(
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
You need to choose apply zip from sdcard
[Defy Android Development] contrem:
Can anyone help me?
[Defy Android Development] raiden-snake:
the new clockwork recovery dont wor with defy chinese rom, someone have the old version?
[Defy Android Development] desillusion:
Hi Higgsy

Works perfectly. I went from original 2.21 or like that to jboogie2 then to 2.2 chinese and after that your rom. your guide works great, no errors.

market works, camera also, i dont use gtalk.
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
Everything seems to be working for me, except I've got one tiny little problem.

Whenever I try to import my contacts from the sim card, I'm getting an error message.

The import assistant recognizes the contacts, I can browse through them, but when actually trying to import I cant get a single number on my phone.

I've tried pretty much everything, but I can't get it to work.

Did anyone experience similar problems, even with completely different roms?

/e

Well alright then.. a simple reboot fixed it. :|
[Defy Android Development] desillusion:
did anybody also notice the real low battery runtime? mine is down after 15 - 20h. with the eclair rom it made mostly 2 days...
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Still very happy with this rom. Since the phone is still new I play with it a lot ;) trying out a lot of apps and it still lasts the whole day. My old HTC's (Diamond and the ancient Wizard) never lasted more than a few hours with wifi on. Their batteries always turned really hot. Don't know why newer smartphones don't have that anymore but it's nice to see that wifi doesn't use more energy anymore than the cell radio (according to the battery status they are both usually around 3%, cell radio on 2G only).

Only minor issue so far is that setvsel's auto apply at boot option doesn't work. I also tried the sipdroid app but that totally ruined the dialer, as in it didn't start anymore. Uninstalling sipdroid did not fix this but luckily a complete rom restore did.

Check the battery stats. Maybe you installed a program that is using a lot of power.
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
The repeat function of the music player seems to be corrupt somehow.

Whenever I activate it, the music just stops after 1 or 2 minutes.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Mate, if you are using set vsel, you need to remove my overclock scripts, or they conflict with the app.

remove /system/xbin/setscaling.sh +/system/etc/installrecovery.sh

After removing them it should work ok, I would uninstall/reinstall set vsel after this too - although you probably don't need to. I am back on this GB version as I think is better than the Orange one now and am using set vsel ok.

I'll add this to the OP too

EDIT: Oh yeah and Milestone overclock too if you haven't already removed it (I guess you prob have)
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
If your using this ROM, flash this sbf over the top, don't worry it leave system/app in tact, so everything will look the same when you are done.

[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Higgsy, I am still with the RC1 but doing a wipe after all, and I am having the weak flash problem. How can I solve this?

Thanks you
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
What is the mini sbf good for?
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
I guess for not getting into bootloop
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
So if I don't have boot loop it is likely not required right?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
peeps it explains what the new sbf is for in the OP
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
You mean this part?

It also isn't totally clear to me. What files are in the sbf file and what do they actually change to the RC2 version?
[Defy Android Development] ExtraSyn:
im coming from Tmobile us.. ill loose 3g right?
[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
I'm on 3.4.2 right now, so what exactly would happen if i flashed 2.2 chinese .sbf? Since 3.4.2 is undowngradable.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Higgsy, so from now on instead of starting to flash from chinese sbf can we just flash the modded sbf you put up in case we brick our phone trying some modifications?.

This usually happens to me and I have to start off from Chinese sbf again.

Thanks for the work :)
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
I feel like there is an issue with dropping data connection (even if I got the H signal, I very often cannot get online) after WiFi has been used (this is RC2 with the mini SBF applied). I do not think this is a network or hardware issue as reboots reliably get me back online...
[Defy Android Development] DrogenDiego:
Hey higgsy I have a question I had your rom on my defy and started getting the gtalk error. Market didnt work etc. Now I flashed a differend rom jboogie3 and noone had the problem there but now I still have it coming from your rom how can I fix that issue? gratz alex
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
switched to this rom from jboogies since i had wifi issues there. though not fully deblurred it runs nice and smooth,bought launcher pro now and really like it.although adw is great too.

only thing id change is to add the possibility to delete included apps more easily like milestoneoc etc.

all in all great work! hope i can stick with this one

/edit

higgsy, where did u store the bootanimation? doesnt really fit my taste, sorry.
[Defy Android Development] howudodat:
Love the rom, not a big fan of blurcontacts so I tried to install Contacts.apk pulled from my Captivate running Cognition Froyo build.

What I did:

install from sdcard - failed

adb install Contacts.apk - failed with: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Titanium Restore - wont restore system apk

adb push Contacts.apk /system/app, reboot - did nothing

install from /sysstem/app gives me:E PackageParser: Package com.android.contacts has no certificates at entry classes.dex; ignoring!

Sigh. Any idea how I can get this apk file onto my wife's phone?

[Defy Android Development] nupi:
How is battery life for you all? I am running mine on 300/23. 600/38. 1100/54 and it barely gets 18 hours with 3G on and generally got k9mail and the Google Services running in the background. Is it something I installed or is there another problem with the ROM?

I would support that, especially seeing that I consider setvsel to be a lot more useful than milestone OC and much easier to handle than the shell scripts...
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
No, because that sbf, doesn't have the system partition included

No issues here

probably not rom related, this gtalk issue is well documented around the internet, people seem to get it if they change their accounts from googlemail.com to gmail.com, amongst other things

bootanimation is in system/media.

Apps like milestone overclock etc can be easily removed from /system if you don't want them anymore

Remember these things are tied into the framework and may have dependencies on other things, so I would doubt taking from another phones rom would work.

You may get away with taking the contacts from something like the Nexus one or something running pure google

Battery life is spot on since I uninstalled widgetlocker - that app was sapping my battery. 3 days + with light to moderate usage, switching off data when not using it. If I keep data on I get about 2 days
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
Ok, I think I will flash mine again tonight (from scratch, including reflashing CN SBF). Right now, this is behaving far worse than Frozen Eclair ever did - There's just too much weird things going on. Worst case I may go back to 2.34 for now and hope for a proper EU FroYo...
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
battery life is about the same for me, 2-3 days on moderate use.

new issue: gmail doesnt sync directly after i switched data/wifi on. have to do it manually or wait till next new email comes in and is being pushed through.

and my phone randomly goes to standby, although the intervall for the screen to switch off is set to 30sec

/edit

fixed screen issue, switched off “pocket recognition“ :)

[Defy Android Development] howudodat:
I'm pretty sure Cognition is using the stock 2.2 contacts. What I'm missing in the contat manager you include is easy access to the groups that I have all my contacts divided up into. Would you be willing to put stock 2.2 contacts into your rom?
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Hi all,

I'm coming from HTC Desire to Defy and what I noticed is that Desire's battery behavior is different then Defy's during standby time.

What I want to say is that during the night Desire would loose 1% of battery charge every 4-5hrs and in Defy's case with Higgsy_Modded_3.4.2_GB_Froyo_RC2, heaviliy undervolted and forced to use vsel1 when screen is off looses 11% during 7hrs standby (that means 1,5% per hour).

I use Defy with similar settings as Desire, without blur services, without additional sync etc. During night I have Data off, Wifi off, GPS off, Bluetooth OFF etc.

My conclusion is that radio consumes way much power then Desire's radio. I have way better battery time using wifi and browsing than desire which means that undervolted OMAP CPU is better powersaver then Snapdragon CPU.

I would like to know what are your findings about this issue, and how different firmware/baseband version affect this.

I'm coming from 2.21 firmware and my baseband version is EPU93_U_00.56.00

CPU settings are 300@18 600@32 1100@58 threshold 80% (stable)

P.S. I'm satisfied with Defy battery time. It is comparable with Desire's. However I'm sure it could be even better. :p
[Defy Android Development] reinsen:
as far as i know motorola has always been famous for great radio reception. maybe thats at the battery's expense.
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
After reinstalling, mine lives for about 24h (down to 20% at that point) even with JuiceDefender. Maybe I have a different definition of what constitutes moderate use (I very rarely talk but I am reading facebook in class :) but to me, that's kinda unsatisfactory.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I just flashed this last night. It's quite good. I am in Telstra in Australia and have used the CN 3G Fix.

Only issue so far is a fair few freeze ups, and a reboot while in the middle of a received phone call. Any ideas? I suspect it may be launcher pro....but could be something else...
[Defy Android Development] nupi:
Ok I think I found the culprit for the battery use. setvsel had a bug where it continuously polled the battery temperature which used a lot of power. This should be fixed now, let's see :)
[Defy Android Development] tanggle:
Looking at the file name, it seems he got some ideas from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945035
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Are you using set vsel? if so have you removed the setscaling.sh and install-recovery.sh, also if you are using setvsel are you sure your vsels are high enough.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I haven't used setvsl or any overclock, just how it is out of the box...

Seems more stable since that reboot though....

I just don't have the time or energy to go trying all the different roms etc- it was mainly the battery life that prompted me to.. It us definitely better with this....i used to flash 3 roms a week on my desire, this is a bit scarier with the risk of undowngradeability....

I've gotten up to the last step.. just need to flash 2.2GB_NoCG_31_39.sbf.. and I get this error:

I have the phone on the right mode (powerup with volup). Is there something else I need to do? Can I use the phone without that file flashed?

EDIT: Ehh. It doesn't boot at all anyway, my first attempt to boot after restoring your ROM results in a hang on the Motorola logo. For reference, I was coming from a stock clean 2.26 Telstra Eclair ROM. Followed your instructions exactly.. what can I do now?
[Defy Android Development] sonhy:

Anyone tried with 2.51 version

Hi

I note Higgsy's warning about not tried on 2.51 build and there were 1 or 2 posts asking a while back, but has anyone since tried flashing this ROM over a 2.51 build (I have the Vodafone ROM version)?

Cheers

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch_rules:
I have done some searching so please don't flame me, I couldn't find a specific answer.

I live in New Orleans (No 4G yet) but I am currently in Pittsburgh going to have a kidney transplant on Thursday. I really want to get my 4G working since it will be my only source of internet while I am in the hospital.

When I turn 4G on, it constantly cycles "Turning on" and "Turning off"

This is what I am running:

Rooted Evo Hardware Version 0003

Android 2.2

Baseband 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

Build number Calkulin's EViO 2 ROM v1.7.5

Software 3.70.651.1

PRI Version 1.90_003

PRL 60674

Wimax Version 4.6.2.3v27167

Thanks in advance for any help. I am a bit desperate since I will be in the hospital starting Thursday for about 2 weeks and still in Pittsburgh for about an entire month. I would love to get this working and I think the constant toggle of 4G is going to destroy my battery life and I can't get it to stop.

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jjday7:
I had the same issue and it was because of adfree and an old titanium backup that was corrupt. Mine was doing exactly what yours is but I was on rls5. I know it's not the rom because I am back on it and don't have that problem anymore. I would start from scratch but flash back to a stock rom first to make sure everything goes back to normal. In my case I had a nandroid of stock right when I rooted a few months back. Hope this helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch_rules:
Thanks, I'm downloading Sprint Lovers right now and am going to give that a try. The last time I flashed, I restored only my apps, not system settings using Titanium. I always do a fresh backup right before I flash.

I've been so excited to try 4G and now I get nothing. Frustrating. I will try your advice and let you know. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan330:
here is my guess....

you are in a hospital...

they have some very intensive strong machines that put out so much interferance. most phones have problems getting a good phone singal in a hospital. you maybe fighting non-winalbe battle.

you need to talk to the nurses about alternative connections.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jjday7:
In my case even just installing apps and no data caused the problem. Once I started over again, it went back to normal.

Make sure you update you profile a few times in a row after flashing new roms too. It has been known to cause problems with the radio not connecting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch_rules:
Thanks but I'm not in the hospital yet, I will be on Thursday. I was driving last night in downtown Pittsburgh where I should be getting a great signal and no 4G.

I will try the sprint lovers with nothing installed or restored and see if I can get 4G to work. I will definitely update my profile a few times to see if that helps. I just checked my RSA key and it is still intact so I'm glad about that.

Going to the store now so I will try it some more while I'm out and about.

Thanks.

Ok, walked to the window of the hotel and I got it to connect for 1 second then it dropped again and I cannot connect it anymore. I got super excited for the one second though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Welcome to the world of 4g. Its great when you've got a good signal and awful when you don't. Coverage is very spotty and large concrete and steel buildings are its enemy.

[Dell Streak 7] rumitg2:
any one have a review for this? i value XDA member reviews more then engadget or gizmodo.

also i was wondering if it would be possible to later on change the battery on the device
[Dell Streak 7] Highriser:
Not really much better than the Dell Streak 5

The Dell streak 7 is not that much better than the Dell Streak 5. It has a slightly larger screen (5 in. vs. 7 in.) Comes with Android 2.2, (Dell streak 5 also does, but this was an update). It doesn't have a faster processor or even 4g. You might as well consider a Xoom or waiting for another tablet.
[Dell Streak 7] rumitg2:
I'm confused as to ur comment. The streak 7 has a tegra2. And 4g. Did u mean that's the only difference from the streak7. And I would wait for a xoom but I'm not a fan of the 10" form factor
[Dell Streak 7] dgalanter:
The 7in tabs just seem like big phones. I'd rather have a 10in model.
[Dell Streak 7] z33dev33l:
does this one have phone capability too?
[Dell Streak 7] AnyMal:
I generally don't go by reviews from the likes of Gizmodo but given a low resolution screen coupled with poor viewing angles is enough to make it a "no buy" for me.
[Dell Streak 7] kable:
Played with the Dell Streak 7 today along side a Galaxy Tab.

Aside from Asphalt 5 looking better on the tab, I liked the Streak for everything else over the tab.

So gamers might want the Tab but for other stuff I would go with the Streak hands down.
[Dell Streak 7] hvbelton:
Highriser doesn't know what he's talking about as both the statements about what it doesn't have are wrong.
[Dell Streak 7] rumitg2:
I'm not a fan of gizmodo or engadgets reviews either. Seem to apple biased to me and care way to much about small details. But that aside the only major concern I have is the batterylife. It seems pretty awful and was wondering what the chances are of a extended battery maybe 4000-5000 coming out soon. And whay about root?
[Dell Streak 7] xexes:
Dell has an extended battery for the Streak 5,so one could infer that the same will be provided for the 7".... and click the developers forum for the Streak 7.... it's already been rooted, instructions are given there.

Check out the Digital Digest review on Youtube... unbiased and positive.

Didn't read gizmodo's cus they are ridiculous... and got pissed at the Engadget review because they shoot things down over trivial items such as "veiwing angles" which IMHO aren't even a factor for me when deciding to buy a device.

I have the Streak 5 because I want a tablet with phone... I tried the Galaxy Tab... nice, but no 3G Tmo phone access and too many hurdles involved in getting the phone working...

If the Streak 7 comes out with Tmo 3G access, might consider it. But I have to say I LOVE the Streak 5... perfect blend of portability and function to me.
[Dell Streak 7] kable:
The Streak 7 does not have a removable battery like the 5 does.

On a positive note, Here is a decent review for a change.
