I have problems with the call aplication (blurphone). I don't need record my calls, so I prefer the stock aplication because the apk on this rom is only in english, and I talk spanish, but when I try to restore the original apk, the phone doesn't work. I've modified the barebones zip, and also copying using root explorer, but doesn't work. How can I have the stock call apk? Fritolays, can you make an update.zip for this?

Also I've seen that some menu configurations only display in English, is a bug?Thanks
[Defy Android Development] cheena:
I installed 1.5.1. so far so good, no crashes. However, I noticed that the phone would not go to sleep. I quit the running apps one by one, and found the offending app - the web browser. I don't know if this is a bug in Barebones, or just a problem with the browser itself.

Camera and QuickPics integration.

Hi,

the integration between Camera and QuickPics is a great thing, but IMHO I think would be good if instead open the folders list, it opens the last photo taken (like it was before with the standard gallery).

Hope this is possible. :)
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
New Barebones ROM themes here

Enjoy

I just switched from Cyanogenmod to BB 1.5.1. In Cyanogenmod I was able to start the camera app by longpressing the searchbutton and to shoot a picture in the camera app by pressing the searchbutton again. Can you implement this to BB?
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
My BlurGalleryHack.apk opens the gallery app as if you opened it from the app drawer. Not the last photo taken.

But it will not work with the modified Camera apk because that apk calls QuickPic directly and not motorolas MediaGallery.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Do you mean the screen won't shut off? Or ....
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Did you use the Blurphone.apk from the removed apps zip? If so did you set permissions when you copied with root explorer....
[Defy Android Development] cheena:
yes, the screen did not shut off at all. the phone was not plugged and was on the home screen, not playing any movie or music. i quit all running apps one by one, and it still did not go to sleep. only after i quit the web browser it went to sleep. since then i did not have this problem again. i also put the phone in "maximum battery savings" and it seems to work fine - i see the 3G symbol reconnect every time i wake the phone up.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
OK, thanks.

In any case I think that the BlurCamera.apk should call the last photo taken, because usually you use the link in Camera just after have taken a photo to see it again and then fast come back to Camera. With actual 1.5.1 implementation, you have to tap on the link, tap on folder, tap on photo and after (the worst thing) tap 3 times the back button to come back to Camera to take another photo.

May be that I will come back to 1.5 apks to have the old behavior.

Hey guys,

what are your "Mobile Standby" and "Phone Idle" readings in the battery meter? Cuz mine is showing 46% and 41% respectively..

Isn't that a tad high?? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Hmm.. Yes, mine are 39% and 35% at the moment. Is that high? :confused:

Edit I've just checked the same figures on my wife's phone and I think the numbers just mean the % amount of time doing a particular activity. It doesn't mean that the CPU was running at 39% whilst it should be idle or anything like that. So, high figures are, I guess, nothing to worry about - it just means you don't use your phone that much!
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
nice integration camera + quickpic :)
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
*****, *****, ***** . . . . dont like taping 3 (dies . . .) times.

At the moment the camera calls for the gallery specifically:

While I would like it to call for the image instead, like Root Explorer:

If you cant tell; Root Explorer hand over the image location in the intent.

While camera uses this 'extras' business that QuickPic doesnt understand, because it was coded for the blur gallery.

So if you want to actually do something and help; either find me source code for BlurCamera.apk or learn smali yourself and hack it to use a proper intent.

Just to mention the hacked camera apk in BB151 is a by-product of me trying to figure out the AOSP lockscreen issue.

Thank you.

I dont really understand what your asking me here, because these are just usage statistics for the things you do on the phone.

What percent of the time since last unplugged your phone spent doing _____________.

Anywho, I'm thinking for v1.6 I will be making the switch to a 2nd init style rom. It allows me more control over the background memory management; also gets me ready for CM once a build I'm happy with is finished. Any comments/concerns over this ?
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
um.. just a suggestion, new version just released this day.

dont forget to try the latest 2nd init, it is 0.6 now..

by the way, right now i'm using latest 2nd init bootmenu 0.6.

i am installing bb1.51 from custom recovery inside that bootmenu..

no problem at all.

Hi,

I'm just about to do a fresh upgrade from Barebones 1.3 to 1.5.1 but I want to wipe everything and install latest nordic sbf etc. to make it a completely fresh install without any traces of the old 1.3.

I made sure I kept downgradability when I installed BB 1.3 but I don't have the new nordic sbf (I have 3.4.2_155-Nand.CEE_DEBLUR)

What worries me is if I just follow the Instructions and Restore the nandroid and then install the Barebones_151-signed.zip, will I still be able to downgrade?

In the change log for BB 1.5 it says "Integrated 'Fixed SBF'" so I guess that if I install that zip in recovery, it will install the fixed nordic sbf (downgradable) AND a clean install of Barebones.

Am I right?

edit: It didn't really go as planned. I did the following:

1. Rebooted into clockworkmod recovery, wiped data and cache.

2. Restored the nordic nandroid in recovery.

3. Here I tried to Install the fixed nordic sbf before installing the BB 1.5.1 zip, but.. to install sbf I needed to be in bootloader mode, but didn't remember how to get there so when it restarted I couldnt get in bootloader mode and the phone started as normal into a fresh android 2.2 install. Did I do something stupid by letting it boot normally after restoring the nordic nandroid when I had the 3.4.2_155-Fixed.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf currently?
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Restoring Nordic nandroid will erase your data and cache. As well as upgrading system to Nordic version.

Flashing BB151 will update your boot/devtree to the newer Nordic build. So no need for a fixed sbf coming from froyo.
[Defy Android Development] Agge_:
Good, So as long I didn't make any stupid mistake then (except forgetting how to get into bootloader mode:o)

Now I have the nordic froyo and have to root it and install CWM to be able to flash the BB 1.5.1 zip, right?

edit: WTF, I don't know what I've done now but I managed to wipe cache and data again, restore the nordic nandroid and then straight away install the BB 1.5.1 zip and restart, wait for the background to load and.....

..Now I dont have anyything in the notification bar, just a white bar. And I only have 16 apps in the appdrawer all together, no Easy Installer for example..

edit2: rebooted into CWM and installed the blueginger theme and now everything seems to be fine. Weird..
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Hmmm, i was just comparing to the figures of my Milestone.. In the milestone it never goes above 8-16% max (I'm talking about after running only base functions thereby showing the same stuff consuming the battery).. Anyways i guess it's nothing, get a day and a half of battery anyways! Was just wondering if there were any more tweaks to get more battery outta it..

And about the 1.6, yeah go for it! :)

One thing though, when booting you're supposed to get a blue flash on the led and then try and activate 2nd init right? Well, i don't get any blue led flash and i've tried to install and activate it thrice.. Still nothing.. :confused:

Whats wrong?

Edit: Never mind.. Tried it just now and its working properly now.. Wasn't happening in BB 1.5.. Weird..
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
What's your battery manager set to?
[Defy Android Development] lmbora2009:
Hi, it would be possible to replace the system applications with some of the cyanogen ROM? Only contacts and dial phone .... thanks

:confused:
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
Although I turned off the data use, each day it uses the internet, which is quite annoying without internet-flat.
[Defy Android Development] gambitvbi:
I will try. Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Quza:
try setting the APN to something false
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Mine is set to manual, where I have no sync from midnight to 7am then always sync the rest of the time. And auto screen brightness at the moment, too.
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
It happens to me too, but I have founded the app that seems cause this in my case: it is Titanium Backup.

I planned two backups with TB during the night and in the morning, after the waking up the screen does not go to sleep: if I kill TB the screen timeout restart to work correctly. Then if I restart TB the screen timeout still works well: I think the problem is with the planned backup of TB.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
It's set on custom.. Data off from midnight to 6 A.M., the rest is like the battery saver profile..
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
Hi there, how do I install these Removed Apps? Tried Easy Installer, no success (only non-system apps could be installed). Tried moving them to /data/apps with Root Explorer, didn't succeed as well. I'm not exactly a BLUR-lover, but I'd like to have the option of using it if I want to. Thanks in advance.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
official france froyo seems a good choice for the upcoming release :)
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Copy the apk file, go to System/app and select mount r/w at the top. Paste then hold on the file you just posted and select ' permissions' from the menu, select ' write' for user. Then reboot.
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
Do I need to do it manually for each app or is there a way to batch the process? I actually moved ALL of the apps in Removed Apps to /system/app (thanks for the advice, BTW, I had put them on /data/app), and I don't want to do this for each app.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I'm not sure, I only did it the first time last night. I only wanted wifi tether.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
This thread had gone rather quiet-has everyone gone to CM7, or is it just because there are no bugs to mention? This rom just works! Great speed and smoothness, excellent battery, no dramas with anything. Thanks Fritolays
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Switching between the two. Barebones when I need battery life and/or reliability and CM7 when tinkering :)
[Defy Android Development] cheena:
This ROM works great so far. Not a single crash, and QuickPic works very well with the camera. Also installed MoboPlayer to play movies, which works well with QuickPic. Battery life could be better, but it maybe because of the apps I'm running 24/7 (various instant messengers). Other than that, I wish someone could enable the front facing camera, my Defy would be the perfect phone.. :D
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
I'm swapping between the 2. Keep going to CM7 with each update to try, then back to this one if still have bugs with CM7.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Hehe, maybe its time to make the move to CM7 with v1.6.

I was waiting on AGPS which works now. . .

Is there anything that you guys are waiting on to work in CM7.

Anything that should make me wait ?
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
wow.. you want to build that CM7 too?

um.. for me, they are:

-Automatic LCD Backlight

-Battery Drain fix

-No frame drops on video recording

-Widescreen recording is better

-Better video playback
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I had an issue with high compression of photos- I have a green lens. 5mp would make @300kb files, om bb1.51 I get @1.2mb files.

High battery drain.

Had crashes and hot battery on bluetooth (esp with gps). That was on beta 3 though.

I believe it will be the base for you, so sure, make one-i may just use it to test, but it will help you see what you are up against.

Who knows, you will probably fix some bugs that Quarkx can't, you sure as hell do a better job than Motorola!
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Nice Fritolays =)

For me CM7 is almost perfect, but the video playback and recording is worse than in Froyo now.

Can't wait to see a Barebones CM7 based *-*

If you make a beta (or alpha) let me test it =)
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Waiting for video recording and playback to be fixed in CM7.

Battery life also has major room for improvement.
[Defy Android Development] Agge_:
I have two very strange problems.

1. When I try to add a new phone number to my phone book it says "Cannot create new contact without a valid account". I have tried to restart the phone and still the same. My google account syncs normally and works fine.

2. Two days ago I copied Kanye Wests new album to my sd card and listened to it quite a lot. All of a sudden when I tried to play it again the music app said "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file." and when I browsed my sd card with a file explorer that specific album folder was completely empty. I thought it was funny and recopied it from my computer. A couple of hours ago the exact same thing happened again. The music app can't find the songs and the folder is mysteriously empty...

Another problem I had was that no photos taken with the camera was saved. This solved when I unmounted and remounted the sd card. But the two above problems is still very much irritating.

PS. I live in Sweden and have BB 1.5.1 on top of Nordic 3.4.2-177 SBF. What baseband is best for me in Baseband switcher?
[Defy Android Development] thomsch:
I can't wait for that.

Also you can help Quarx to solve the minor bugs that the last beta has :D
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
@agge_ It sound like a corruption in your sd cars. Maybe try copying everything on it to pc, format, then copy back over.
[Defy Android Development] gambitvbi:
There is no blurphone.apk on removed apps, so I have copied with root explorer from the stock rom. I set permissions but doesn't work, but if I extract blurphone.apk from bb1.5.zip, copy to system, and set permissions it works.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
You need to add a google account first, then add your contacts. Put this account to sync (Settings -> Accounts -> click in the account)

Your problem 2 seems like corruption (like superfastmonkey said), or something with this app that you are using. Try a different app, and if the problem persists you can try to backup your sdcard then format it (via Android, not from Windows)
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Camera hanging..

Fritolays, the default camera hangs at times while taking pics.. I have to press the home button to get out of the stuck camera and open camera again and it works till it gets stuck again.. Its set on widescreen and the shutter sound doesn't come either.. I've tried out some other camera apps from the market, none of them seem to hang.. :confused:

What's the problem?? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
I have the same problem with the camera.:confused:
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Is there any chance that this is due to the SD card? The camera seemed sluggish when using my old 2GB class 2 card. I bought a 4GB class 6 card and have had no problems since.
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Thats a good question. For me I love Barebones because its a 100% reliable, simple work horse that I can depend on for all my work and home email and calendaring (and now also "Meganoid"!). I'd love some of the features that 2.3.4 might bring, and I really love the idea of being able to run a repo sync and compile the source myself like I did for my old Kaiser and Rhodium phones.... But until I think a Defy Cyanogen mod is as stable and as reliable (and has good battery life) as your 1.5.1 ROM I will shy away I think.

So ultra-reliability and good battery life are my two issues with CM I think. :D

Edit: I read that back and realised that I hadn't actually tried the Quartz Defy CM in a while and that it's now on Beta 5.1 - so I've installed it and run it all evening, running all my standard email and apps. Its certainly better than last time I tried, but I'm still going back to BB151 for now as it seems more consistently smooth and predictable. I liked the gee-whizz factor of Android 2.3.4, loved the CM ring tones and launcher styles and the new animations (the CRT-style screen sleep anim was cool eye candy), but missed the reliability of BB.

In fact, CM has just rebooted and is just sitting at the Motorola splash screen, staring at me... You could also use it as a pocket warmer on a cold day, it burned through 60% of the battery in 5 hours and was warm to the touch all evening.
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
I do have a 16g class 2 card. Is it good?
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Well, can you source or borrow a class 4 or 6 card to try it out on? All I can say is that my class 6 card works better than my old class 2, and you might have the same luck as me. :D Fritolays' camera app seems to write out less-compressed and so larger files, so perhaps this does work better on faster cards that can keep up with the added IO demand?
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
A 8GiB Class 2 original from Motorola is better than a Chinese without name 16GiB Class 4, so take care where you buy your SD Cards. You can try SD Test, it's on Market, and will tell you the speeds of your SD Card.

--EDIT: added the bold text
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
Didn'y you mean SD Tools? I'm not feeling like turning off my Defy to find out which class is my SD (8GB, provided by Motorola with the phone), and find no SDTest or SD Test on Market. SD Tools seems to answer these questions, anyway.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
I forgot to mention that "from Motorola" on my previous post. I have bought a Danelec 16GB Class 4 (around R$110,00 here in Florianópolis), the Write Speed is almost the same as the original that comes with Defy, but the Read Speed is twice. And yes, it's SD Tools I was talking about, sorry ^^
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
Sorry, but it is made in japan

Hi. Is it possible to instal honeycomb theme for Barebones? And if yes where or which should I download. Thanks.:)
[Defy Android Development] splat matt:
Really enjoying this ROM. Thanks for providing a basic ROM that allows us to customize it to the individual's preference! Also thank-you for providing ready to follow directions and links to install.

*** Now does anyone know how to install wifi calling? I have done some searching but cannot find anything definitive.

When I tried to install MiUi with 2nd Init 1.4 this ROM didn't boot anymore... Is that caused by something I did wrong or is that a general bug/error?
[Defy Android Development] shenoy007:
hello sir in recovery boot menu i pressed back up and restore it tell no file found...i already put froyo nandroid zip file and barebones zip file...i have unzipp that nandroid file???please explain??thnka sir...
[Defy Android Development] slph:
Can someone update Barebones to have ability go back to this ROM, after playing with CM and MIUI?

And what will happen if I'll flash fixed sbf of new 2.3.3 official orange?

What will happen with Barebones, if install new bootmenu?

unzip to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/any_folder_name/(files here)
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
When you unzip the nanodroid, it creates a folder within a folder eg 'nordic/nordic/files-many of us have been caught on this one- just cut the nordic/ inside the nordic folder and paste it to clockworkmod/backup.

This should be placed on the 1st page.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ill look at new 2.3.3 build tonight and post the codegroup versions. But you should be ok doing the nandroid & fixed sbf method; assuming the codegroup version hasn't increased.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
its time to build GB version
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
So looking into this . . .

New bootmenu installs just fine. No issue here, I used the bootmenu installer.

Fixed sbf's dont include codegroups 31 and 39; they prevent downgrade.

I just flashed the 2.3.3 build using a nandroid & fixed sbf. Again no problems.

Also to switch back to Barebones you will need to flash the fixed nordic sbf.

Something like; restore backed up BB nandroid, reboot holding volume + up for bootloader, flash fixed nordic sbf.

Here are the codegroup versions:
[Defy Android Development] slph:
So, what plans about new version of Barebones?
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ill admit 2.3.3 is nice and pretty. Couple issues for me, like the camera or GPS not working; as well as there no being any signal bars but thats an easy fix.

If I can get around these issues then we will see.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
how about cm7? it looks good:)
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
nice

i'm waiting for it :)

there's three gingerbread rom for defy now:

leaked orange, miui, and cm7.

i hope we got the 4th, and it's barebones :)
[Defy Android Development] shenoy007:
sir iam in 2.1 indian version i root it and instal recovery succesfully..in recovery backup and restore..when i press restore..it said no files found..but i already put nandroid backup min sd card...it tell can t open file directery...where put froyo nandroid and how???please explain sir..thanks
[Defy Android Development] julanthe:
It depends on your version of clockwork recovery. the directory is either /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or /sdcard/goapkrev/backup. The backup has to be in an unzipped folder.

If you want to upgrade to Barebones read the first post carefully. Especially this:
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Well, I've been away on holiday for a while and come back to the news of an official / beta (and not 2nd init) Gingerbread. This is great news as, though I haven't been able to test the Orange 2.3.3 beta yet (the nandroid I tried fails MD5 checks in clockwork recovery) I think a good 2.3.3 base will make for an excellent Barebones remix.

Fritolays, if you can weave the same magic with 2.3.3 that you have with the Nordic 2.2.2 we'll really have a best possible version of the Defy! I've really been depending on Barebones 1.5.1 for the past week in the wilds of Devon and it hasn't let me down once.

... I'm off to try another SBF or nandroid of the 2.3.3 beta to see if I can get it working here. :D Hooray, Gingerbread!
[Defy Android Development] hizz:
hey,

first impression of this rom: amazing! fast, stable, has everything i need.

i have just one problem with it: the process android.process.media keeps force closing. whenever i eject the sd card from the computer and the phone mounts it, or whenever i try playing an mp3. did not happen with other roms, and i have also tried formatting the sd card and clearing the media app cache, nothing has worked so far. anyone have any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] slph:
hizz, do a wipe before restoring 177 nandroid
[Defy Android Development] hizz:
i flashed 177 using the fixed sbf as clockworkmod refused to restore the nandroid, the boot.img seems to be missing... could that be the reason?
