Barebones for CM7 is up.

Froyo version 155 taken down for the time being; expect v156 in the next couple days.

Updated documentation thus far.
[Defy Android Development] mlkz:
thanks.. that's great news.

will try, but after sleep.. :)
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
OMG! OMG!

Barebones + CM7 = perfect!
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
trying barebones CM7. thx :D battery drain problem didn't solve :(
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Wow. This is great! I've installed Nordic177 + cm7-110613-0415-BOOT177-Jordan.zip + BBCM and this is the best my defy has ever been. (I've just spotted that your BB installer actually takes care of gapps, so thats yet another thing I won't need to worry about!)

Everything works exactly as I need, thank you Fritolays, you've made CM7 even better! Great work. :D
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
If you read the OP you can see that this is a Beta build; as well as I havent changed anything to affect the battery yet.

Dont need the gapps update its already included.
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
Hey man, does CM7 BB support 720p recording already? If not, I'll keep using Froyo BB.

Plus, could you point out significant reasons for updating to GB instead of using Froyo? As far as I know, the main difference is video-talk, which is useless for Defy.

Thanks in advance :)
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Not until CM7 supports 720p recording.

I think you misunderstood, BB CM7 is not based off the leaked gingerbread builds.

Its based off of CyanogenMod 7 by Quarx; so you would need to install that beforehand.

Otherwise I wont be developing for the leaked gingerbread builds because I have a green lens and well it doesnt work.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
LOL

There's no comparison between Froyo and CM7 (only in battery xD)

--

APK's that i also removed from system in my BB/CM7 install: CarHome.apk, FileManager.apk, GenieWidget.apk, LatinIME.apk, LatinImeTutorial.apk and alternative themes (Androidian and Cyanbread).
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
All of those wouldnt be there if you did not install the google apps zip.

You dont need to use the google apps (gapps) update zip.

Barebones already includes the newest google apps.
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
No, I know that it's based on Quarx's CM7. But, honestly, Froyo Barebones is, IMO, as good as CM7 (or even better), since Gingerbread doesn't add anything significant to Defy. Maybe CyanogenMod's tweaks (like the notification screen widgets or CM settings), but these aren't reasons enough for me to change. Froyo seems enough for me right now, and I have 720p recording (which is a main need for me).

About the leaked GB builds: I haven't used the second one, so I can't tell how good (or bad) it is, but the Orange one, with BLUR, is kinda crappy. I mean, there ARE a few things I like in BLUR (like the unified inbox, if one uses it only for SMS and email), but the ROM is simply too buggy. With BB, I get around 100 (or more) hours of uptime until some non-BB-related app forces me to reboot. Using the leaked GB, I had to reboot AT LEAST once a day (mostly twice or even more). So, honestly, I think no good ROM cooker should build anything over it. At most, use it as Quarx is using: getting one or two useful things (like some drivers and stuff like that), and then sending it right to the trash bin.

my crazy phone drop 12% battery within a one minute call

ive changed the baseband
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
waiting for barebones 1.5.6 :D
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
can i go back to CM7 nightly after installing BBCM7?
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Same here :)
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Here you can download and update.zip with the deoxed files of the 3.4.2-155-2 Deblur:

http://www.multiupload.com/MPCF3ORRN1

(I have not tested it)

Link taken from this thread:

[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Thanks I've tried that earlier, however i get:

2020 KB/s (1899405 bytes in 0.918s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/BlurAlarmClock.apk

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Press any key to continue . . .

Pushing to /system/app and reboot doesn't work either.
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
Very GOOOOOOOD rom!!!! you are a fooool!!!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
First off blur Calendar is not coming back; and I wont make an update to get it. Reason being, it use's 3 apk's to do the work of one when using open source android apps.

I sort of miss the Blur Alarm Clock too, so here is what I'm going to do: I will release a new update.zip with has the Blur Media Gallery, Blur Alarm Clock, and the new Desk Clock for choice.

Also just a sidenote - there will be a small update to v1.3; but you wont have to flash a whole new rom I will upload an update from v1.2 to 1.3.

Just to fix a couple subtle issues that have crept up; like having to reboot once to get it working.
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
I'm trying to install your Custom Barebone ROM and keep downgradeability... but I can't even get Clockwork MOD Recovery to install the Stock.CEE3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR.zip nandroid backup.

What step have I missed?

1) root (I'm running UK 2.51.1)

2) install recovery (without USB debug)

3) boot recovery install Stock.CEE3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR.zip says it is installing it

4) then wait...

5) still waiting...

6) shower time!

7) back from shower still waiting.. for how long should I wait?
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
You forgot to flash the fixed sbf after restoring the Nandroid (Fixed sbf - http://www.multiupload.com/CT5ZAPXOK0)

Your phone atm is trying to boot Froyo with an Eclair bootloader.

So step 4 should be: - restore nandroid -> reboot into bootloader (volume+up) flash fixed sbf.
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Thanks for your reply and this great rom.

I respect your wish to keep this rom clean.

I was just asking for help on procedure how to get anything I miss back.

Sorry if I was misunderstood.

Keep the good work. This rom is fastest beast out.

Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
No worries heh.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
fritolays thanks for this great work.

Barebones is a pretty fast rom and your ultra detailed explanation is one of the best "howto" i´ve ever seen, thank you very much. As i see, your level of knowledge on developing is more than advanced, may i ask you to have a look on another project called FroyoSense for Defy, started by Dexter but we got no more support on it. It is the fastest rom for Defy, going over 2000 points on Quadrant at 1Ghz. And Sense from HTC is a lovely interface. Thank you in advance, cheers.

EDIT: The SWYPE apk you just put in the update.zip is giving me force close when running it on Finland Deblur.
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
Yes I know step 4 is flash sbf. I was a bit unclear, and I'm still waiting for restore nandroid to complete.

The nandroid restore never completes just standing there saying it is installing update... and nothing happens.

I left the phone alone for ~30min even though I have been reading it suppose to take ~2min. I have tried 5 times same result, I have to remove battery to restart the phone. I have done a factory reset twice.

I have tried the recovery linked to in the first post (altough only the "old" version exists in the post for that recovery) and I have tried the Clockwork recovery posted by tenfar.
[Defy Android Development] acus:
anyone pls backup media gallery... im using quickpic but launch if in camera mode.. it said gallery not install..

or how to invoke quickpic become default media galery...??
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
Any easy way to apply the dark gingerbread status bar?
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
The current swype posted will only work with 3.4.2-155-002 CEE Deblur.

The old version is what everybody has cause whats his name disappeared again. As for clockwork not restoring nandroids - honestly I have no clue. If it was me I'd start by flashing the 2.21.0 UK TMobile Blur Stock sbf. Then root Eclair with z4root; install recovery; then try to restore a Froyo nandroid; flahing a fixed Froyo sbf during reboot. Obviously, it will be hard to flash any rom if it doesnt work. Goodluck man !

A fix is coming in a few days with v1.3.

By the way, QuickPic probably is set as default image viewer (try setting a new wallpaper).

Issue is with Camera app calling for media gallery specifically.

For now get in the habit of opening QuickPic first - then hit Camera button. Use back button to see images . . .

Ya v1.3 will start themes out. Beginning with a darkbar.
[Defy Android Development] madhuranand007:
Can U please cook the pre-rooted .sbf (firmware) as it helps a lot and if possible than please add the setvsel in it.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Cant add anything to sbf file because the bootloader is locked; meaning you can only flash motorola signed sbf's.

No I wont add setvsel (Barebones). It's on the market.
[Defy Android Development] madhuranand007:
Ok thanks !! ... No problem....:)
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
I can't go back to 2.21.0 because they flashed my phone with 2.51.1 UK when it was in for ear-piece speaker repair :( I have rooted 2.51.1 and removed a few blur widgets (news and weather) because they appear in running services unless I remove them.

I will try to flash 2.51.1 sbf and reroot then install recovery and try again.

EDIT: No just flashed 2.51.1 UK rerooted with superoneclick root thing, then installed recovery by tenfar (v2.5.1.2 it says) but it is still the same.

-- Installing: SDCARD:nandroid/Stock.CEE3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

and then nothing more happes, the phone will just freeze there and the only thing I can do is remove battery. When booting after that regardless of how long I wait my phone will boot perfectly fine into old 2.51.1 ROM as if I havn't done anything.
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
First impressions:

WOW

never had such a speed on my defy before

Zeam is the right choice then, i tried all the other launchers but this is definitely the lighter one.

This rom is the perfect base for all the people who want customize the phone in the manner they want.

Thank you
[Defy Android Development] bnwg:
could the barebones gingerbread theme apply to the stock 2.2.2 rom?
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
What is the CM version good for. The normal ones should be better in performance, stability and battery life.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Barebones Trademarks?

Can we have the following in CM7?

- Silent Camera (kill that shutter sound!)

- Call Recorder (in-built in dialer)
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Hatters gonna hate. BBCM7 has great battery/speed/stability for me, using latest nightly.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
I am not a hater, I use CM7 since beta 3. The point is, that cm is a mod with a lot of features and BB is a mod where features are.gy definition not wanted.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
So in that case you dont need to use it.

Really its for people who like zeam over adw; dont use most stock apps; want gapps included; and dont want to participate in CM Stats.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
cm7 to BB to cm7

hey man,whassupp...so i can flash this over a cm7(currently on boot177), then if i want to go back cm7,just flash back any knightly or RC0? or back to square one again??

its ok for me to reflash/flash as long as i will be able to try all nice roms.

how's the speed:quadrant score;),standby time;).etc...i like stripped super roms like this one..strip off the fats:D
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Installed this yesterday, battery is great for me, almost 20 hours now and I still have 45%. Playing games, surfing web, some calls. 3g, wifi at home, etc. Camera, both photo and video working. Haven't tested GPS and FM radio... it's almost pure CM7, without some things that I don't use and a really nice launcher ;)

Haven't tested if you can flash another nightly after Barebones, but I think it will work.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I would like to note that the anonymous user statistics are not enabled by default in CM7 for Defy.

*steps back onto his fence
[Defy Android Development] omneon:
My process is this:

1. Full Flash pake 3.4.3-33-1 HK & SEA builds.

2. default boot into 2ndInit.

3. Install RC0.zip and directly install barebones-CM_050-signed.zip. and reboot

4. and the results .... >> bootloop.

can help me please? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
There is a complete guide for installation in cm7 faq by antony ps..

Just follow it..

Im now running this rom.its 5 stars rating like in market:)
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
You need to flash the nordic 177 nanodroid and fixed sbf before RC0.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
Is it possible to get the old alarm from the froyos back? Don't like the cyanogenmod clock.
[Defy Android Development] themeltingclock:
Worked great, thanks! I'll be sticking with the Froyo BB for a bit - tried CM7 late last week and didn't love it.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ya sorry about that gallery bug; fixed it already for next version.

Anywho, updated changelog a little for next CM version.

Both CM v051 and Froyo v156 will be up this weekend (probably really late like always).
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
Finally reached 1000 hours uptime running barebone 1.5

Awesome ROM :)
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
where can I download barebones1.5.1 :D? thanks
[Defy Android Development] stefa_vr6:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9J2XMU08

BB 1.5.1....if it doesnt work just tell me and ill re-upload it
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Yes barebones is a amazing rom :D

Best battery life, reliable. One word- perfect :D

The longest rom i have used- barebones 1.5.1. no lag, no FC, no reboot.

Thanks fritolays :D
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Just to update you guys....

CM7 v051 and Froyo v156 are on schedule to be posted tonight (est).

Doing some final testing atm to make sure there are no little bugs like v155.

Also should mention that I'm dropping the Froyo build back down to Nordic.

Just easier to dev both versions if they have the same base.

Not to mention switching between the two.

Thanks for the positive feedback, and ya keep an eye out tonight for the new versions.

Update 2:35am: Heh put new CM7 rom up. Forgot to make battery icons for the 1% thing, F**k me 101 (0-100) images lol.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
ya thank you... i will strick on 1.5.6 until the battery problem solve on cm7. ya thanks for great news
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
Cool..good news..

Btw..for cm7 knightly testers...i highly recommend this rom as alternative..

We can flash cm7 nightly to bb-& back to any nightly releases..

switch rom easily w/ no probs at all..

very good rom.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
can i get any motoblur widgets on bb1.5.6?? especially calendar and messageing widget..
[Defy Android Development] account1:
where did you get v.1.5.6.?

afaik, has not uploaded yet, unless you're just asking
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Yes... :D I am also waiting for release :D

edit: I've downloaded barebones CM7 and see if it have a good battery life :D
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
CM& 051 & Froyo 156 Released

Should be a little better if only because of the lower vsel values.

Ok done . . . heh Froyo version is up.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
You are a amazing guy man :D

downloading it right now!! I can see MotoWidget there but I can't see there are any calendar widget there. Is it cause by calendar widget needs MotoService??
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
The stock calendar widget requires blur launcher; service comes from BlurHome.apk.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
I'm sorry to tell you that barebones CM7 doesn't work with nightly build. I don't know how about CM7 but it may cause by the new bootloader
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
Can someone please post some screenshots of BBCM7 ROM?

just wanted to see..i have heard alot about barebone's rom..heard it too good :)
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
so sad..I've deleted barebones CM7 0.5 and 0.51 doesn't work for me. So who can upload me v0.5 not 0.51?? thx :D
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
Cm7 0.51 is working for me
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Nothing to show really - it looks exactly the same as CM7. Just missing some apps.

If maybe you mentioned how to got to CM7 maybe then I could help.

Just to mention the bootmenu was present in 050 so that is not the case.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
I use cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177 build :D It doesn't matter because I have to go back to 2.2 since the battery problem still here :D

edit: it stick on orange MOTO logo and no CM7 logo shown. Default boot in the 2nd-init is 2nd not normal or bootloader. Hope it helps :D

edit2: my installation process: flash sbf, root via superOneClick, reboot, install 2nd-init 1.4, wipe cache,data,davxxx cache, install update.zip

Now I cannot install 1.5.6 too :(
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
I have no clue what that means. Are you saying the default boot is set to 2ndinit or is set to something else ?

Also I just tried CM7 with the new nighly and no problems.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Ok it doesn't matter. It is just minor things. :( I will try it later
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
hi all,

a bit of help please!

i was running the official U.K 2.2 rom

flashed the Nordic.sbf

rooted & installed clockworkmod 1.0.0.8

booted into recovery and flashed BB1.56

now i'm in a boot loop

i repeated the process with the same result.

i've installed CyanogenMod 7 in the past if this makes any different

what's the correct way to do it?

do i need to install the nandroid nordic and fixed sbf instead?
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Are you using bootmenu or just clockwork boostrap ?

- I mean are you using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212

- Or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944543

- Or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875233

- Because I would assume that the rom install bootmenu can conflict with methods other than bootmenus & clockwork v3+.

Are you wiping data & cache before you install BB ?

Otherwise seems like you going about the right way.
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
i'm just using clockwork bootstrap

yes, i'm wiping data and cache.

flashed loads of BB roms with no problem before. could the problem be that i've flashed 2.3 recently?

thanks, i will try with the bootmenu.

i'm looking forward to having BB on my defy again!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
No flashing an sbf nulls the fact you installed CM7, so thats not the problem.

Just to write it down; heres how I do it.

Flash Nordic sbf -> Root with Superoneclick -> Install SndInitDefy_1.7 -> Boot into recovery -> Data/cache/dalvik wipe -> Install bb froyo zip.
[Defy Android Development] vndkmr97:
TUTORIAL step by step !!!!

Please can someone provide me the clear step by step to install the BBCM7!!!

i have individually installed CM7 AND BB but ???

all i did is 1, flashed sbf 2,root the device 3, insatlled BB_FRO (firewall etc) ????

4,installed BB_CM7 is it correct can someone give me correct tutorial !!!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Flash Nordic sbf -> Root with Superoneclick -> Install SndInitDefy_1.7 -> Boot into recovery -> Data/cache/dalvik wipe -> Install CM7 RC0 or a Nightly -> Install BB CM7

None of the froyo addons will work with cm7. Thats why they are labelled as FRO.
[Defy Android Development] vndkmr97:
Thanks for the quick reply ...

but what about the BB_FRO.ZIP ????
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Any of the files with FRO in the name are for Barebones Froyo roms ONLY.

They will not work with CM7 (gingerbread) or other roms.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Thanks!

1. I was waiting for BB on CM7 and I'm glad you got it out! The silent camera was the single most important thing for me and while I have a dozen camera apps, I still wanted that feature. I returned to RC0 from the latest nightlies since the battery life wasn't satisfactory on any of them.

2. Also I had to remember to install CM7, restore Titanium Backups and THEN install BB else the backup overwrites some of your mods.

3. The new safe frequencies put my phone into a boot loop and it refused to start after flashing BB. So I just raised the frequency from 50 to 52 and that did the trick. She started like a charm and is running just fine! All is good in Droid town now.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Ok maybe the version of the 2nd-init installed from the original 2.2 is incorrect. I installed 1.4.1 and it doesn't work

edit: market FC on BB1.5.6 :(

open market apps, login google, click accept agreement, FC . I don't know why and i've try clear cache but it doesn't work.

edit2: I can't solve market FC. Install another market's update.zip, still not fix. Try wipe data/cache/dalvik, doesn't help :(

PS. I also install MotoWidget.zip and Recorder.zip while installing barebones. Hope it's help!
[Defy Android Development] zhaofa:
Perfect,thx.

I'm using BB V1.51,I will update to v1.56 .

Can someone upload just the keyboard from Barebones? I'm using CM7 and I hate the new black keyboard, the keys are also so small :/ I find myself typing "v" instead of spacebar and "L" instead of backspace.. argh!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ok no problem was going to update the google apps/frameworks for next one.

I will put out a patch later today with the fix and widescreen video recording too.

http://www.multiupload.com/9HFMCJLJFJ

[Defy Android Development] roger_king:
Why the multiupload web site cannot access from China too!

help!
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
Thx fritolays :D
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:

[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Here is the market fix/widescreen video recording update, BB-FRO_156-update-signed.zip.

Froyo 157 will be up in a few days and will include these changes and a few others; but use this in the meantime.
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
in cm7 i see contacts name twice even in original cm7 i could see thrice the names even though i stored once.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
This has nothing to do with my rom.

Maybe you stored them on your sim & gmail account ? I donno.
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
i didnt mean u did that i meant i am seeing it cm7 normal and barebones. how do i remove the gmail contacts and keep only on phone no sim.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Well turn off auto sync for contacts under accounts to start.

Then delete all the extras. This way it only uses the list on the phone.

Would it not be easier to maintain a contact list on your gmail account so when you login on your phone it will just pull your contact list ?
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Call Recording on CM7?

Will you be including call recording on the next version of Barebones for CM7? :D
