Hi,

I have the same issue I think, i don't use 3G/data for now, and i'm only on wifi (i have changed the apn name to be sure not to have any data).

So i'm only on 2G for gsm.

The issue is that i have a very low reception since i installed 1.5, and i'm often on emergency calls only (from stock 2.1, then flash 3.4 KOR via RSD, then restore nordic nand and apply bb zip).

I had never experienced this on 2.1, does it comes from bb tweaks?
[Defy Android Development] pesho21:
This issue is also reproducible here :(
[Defy Android Development] imbeci1e:
That's strange....I'm following the procedure for the ROM installation word by word and after the first boot the first thing I did was to install Missed Reminder. Then I started the service from the apk -> activated Missed Calls reminder ->enabled vibration notification in Preferences and when I press "Test Notification" I only get the popup, no vibration at all. Even after receiving a call and waiting for the notification I don't have any vibration at all. ...Vibration works on long-press of the Power button and during shutdown, screen unlock (slide), haptic feedback on the four soft buttons, on incoming call, when typing on the keyboard, etc - but no vibration on Missed Reminder :)

Is it possible to cut moto calendar and replace with aosp in new version?

What progress with lockscreen?:)

Sorta confirm, but may be it because of installed apps, but seems like 'Android system' (40-45mW) and 'Kernel' (8mW) a bit eating battery in PowerTutor. Can't test on clear Barebones. Not sure.

Old 155 - 6% per night

BB1.5 - 10%

Now better, USB debugging-ON, don't know why so:S

A li'l help...

Ok.. I'm a bit confused.. I'm running Barebones 1.4 and i'm trying to restore the Barebones 1.5 nandroid but it just freezes up after it opens the package for installation in the recovery.. I'm using the "install from sdcard" method.. What am i doing wrong?? :confused:
[Defy Android Development] slph:
Backup & Restore option in recovery for 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip (unzip and check right patch)

Then install zip from sdcard Barebones_15-signed.zip
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Ok, thanks for that.. But again, i'm trying to install 1.5 and it seems to be stuck at "Installing update...". Or does it eventually install? Cuz the progress bar ain't moving one bit.. :(

P.S.- The Nordic nandroid has been flashed successfully.. This is after that..

Ok sorry again.. I figured it out.. A stupid folder was made when i zipped it after editing it.. :P

after being on cyanogen 7 for the past week, i'm happily back on barebones 1.5.

cyanogen 7 on the defy is close to being out of beta, but some bugs remain.

as expected, barebones 1.5 works perfectly for me.

i can't wait for barebones cyanogen7!!!

dev; thanks for all your work on this rom, you're a star
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Where are you come from? Who is your mobile operator?

Barebones is set to use Canadian radio freq. settings i.e. 850, 1700, 2100MHz

I'm from Bosnia where we use 900/1800Mhz for 2G and 2100Mhz for 3G as well as most of Europe and, so I need to flash appropriate freq settings in order to have proper signal strength.

You can find appropriate frequency fixes at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944258

I think there is app called baseband switcher that does the same job. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745

I haven't test it however.

I hope this helps!
[Defy Android Development] spongethebob:
Thanks a lot! I used the app and it worked fine. :)

@fritolays: it may be interesting to propose this app in your 1st post (or in bb_extras), it could help people having this issue. thanks.
[Defy Android Development] :
just one doubt, is this the less battery consuming rom? how much does a 100% charge last? (I know it depends on use, but did you guys notice tu have a bit more of bat with this rom?)
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
That's really hard to answer without doing some proper tests, but I'd say, in my case, that my Defy battery lasts slightly less long with 1.5 than it did with 1.4, but the signal strength is consistently excellent everywhere I go now, I get HSDPA both at home and at the office, whereas with 1.4 (based on a different underlying ROM) I dropped to GPRS whilst in those locations - older phones I've had would often lose signal entirely here. I used to get about 50 hours on a charge, I now get around 40, with usage as per my earlier post about battery life.

Battery life certainly does seem better than stock ROMs I've used over the past few weeks, but again that's subjective and not really tested! :rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] imbeci1e:
Yeah, the problem is definitely within bb1.5 ROM - if I just restore the nandroid backup from the OP and install Missed Reminder it works just fine and have vibration. After applying the bb1.5 zip and installing Missed Reminder again - there's no vibration. As I said initially I observed the same behavior in bb1.4, so probably there's a bug or something...
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Did you start from the Korean sbf; or another build ?

There is no issue with the haptic feedback. I cannot recreate your error . . .

I installed Missed Reminder and when I test any notification it works with no issue. Are you sure you are setting the right options ?

Can someone else (slph ?) try this stupid app and confirm or deny this ?

Size and class of your sdcard ? And did you install VideoPlayer-signed.apk from bb_extras folder ? Videos will not play through Gallery without it.

Link me the apk.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Anyways . . .

There will be a patch in the next few days.

Battery drain is higher then it should be.

People with GSM (2G) issues make sure you have the correct radio files installed for your country.

However, there will be some changes to the network tweaks in the patch as well.

There will be a separate patch for those with crappy sdcard's to disable that tweak.

Busy at work and crap; so dont expect patch tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Thanks again Fritolays.

I have to confirm, the Missed Reminder app vibrate didn't work for me...whole app is buggy anyway...nor do I need or want it. Maybe contact the app developer-make him work for it instead of Fritolay.

All good here, I reckon my Launcher pro freezeups (goes to landscape view and won't leave it, and a couple of reboots) are setvsel's doing, I think my phone hates it. I have had issues with other roms that indicate it. I think I will just run milestone overclock when my daughter wants to play Cordy, and leave it off otherwise-that's the only reason I need OC, and battery is ok without setvsel- hopefully this patch will get it back to 1.4 level.

I still have orange battery indicator at 50% and red at 30%, even after resetting battery stats, but it ain't a biggie.

I can't instal apk's from the removed folder with File Expert or Super Manager (though trying got exchange hotmail working, so i'm happy), would I be right in presuming it has to be with root explorer? they both seem to offer the same permission options without requiring payment. Again no biggie, plenty of apps to replace what's missing.

Modded black theme

Please find link to modified Black version for Barebones 1.5

http://www.multiupload.com/O48E8YCSEK

In this version there should be:

1. Less paranoic battery indicator (orange at 40%, red at 20% etc.)

2. Black to Green status bar during active call

I haven't test battery indicator, but it should work fine.

IMPORTANT: This theme is Fritolays work and if you like it, thank him or buy him a bevarage.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Thanks heaps for that...downloading now, won't know if it's worked till the morning- I'm on 10% now.

Had some issues with that zip.. Google services framework, bluetooth ?? And gapps kept fc' ing..and I lost data on wifi- connected but no net..tried a couple of reboots, same thing so I flashed back the original black 1.5 zip. Thanks for having a go...off to bed now, 1:45am here.
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Works perfect for me. Hmmmm
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Btw, works perfectly for me too.. :D

And was also wondering whether i have to put the baseband patch? I'm in india.. Can't test 3G any time soon so dunno if i need it or not.. Do i need to put the patch? I've downloaded it.. Just waiting for a confirmation.. :)
[Defy Android Development] slph:
Installed, set options like your screens, then send sms to myself, then wait and it remind with vibration. Seems like everything works.

Have found problem with photo compression.

With stock sdcard (green lens) it impossible to take bright photos, when sunny. (lot of data and small speed of sdcard). Can someone confirm it? So, an optional patch with original file will be good^^

Also, battery use stable second day, 6% per night.
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
My camera was bugging me today when I was trying to take some photos outside, very sunny. But it did work after a few tries, altough I did stop when I got my picture. So I don't know if it would have continued bugging me.

EDIT: My phone used less than 6% IIRC it was about 4% last night. aprox 7 hours. I have Maximum Battery Saver profile on.
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
@hottracks4

This theme has nothing to do with patch. So applying the theme doesn't influenece radio settings.

Making long story short, if you had radio freq fix. You still have it.

Best regards
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
I think this is what you are looking for: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

Please note guys the radio fix's are not just for 3G; they change GSM frequencies too.

No worries, it's not a big deal, just wanted to point out a potential issue :)

I started from scratch - wipe data/cache, flashed the nordic sbf and then the bb1.5 - it didn't work (i never flashed Chinese/Korean sbf's). Of course i checked all tick boxes needed ;) As i said it didn't work with Easy Reminder as well, but anyway - the rom is nice, simple and fast :) Good job!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Sorry friend, hard to fix something I cant recreate; how it goes.

If you want - do a factory reset; make a nandroid of your phone; upload it to multiupload.com and pm me the link.

Maybe then I can see whats going on.

Btw the Chinese builds are for ME525; the Korean one is a MB525 build. Just to note the difference.

Also the black theme has been updated to fix the battery issue and the green bar during a call; it will now flash between green and black.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022901

Downloads so far . . . China comes in on the mirror at 310 and the rest of the world on the primary with 450.

Updated bug list for patch; did I miss anything ?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Is there any way you could bring in the Cyanogen Mod extras like the brightness control, VM Heap Manager, JIT toggle and all those other nifty add ons? It's there in my milestone and is pretty handy.. Atleast if you could integrate the brightness control, that'll save loads of battery for everyone..

Just a suggestion.. The Rom is flawless otherwise.. I've had no problems whatsoever.. I'm just pointing out the ways you could make it unbeatable..

Would be great if you could.. Thanks! :p:cool::D

Phone freezes if reception drops

I wonder if others encountered the same problem. If the signal drops completely (like in the subway or an elevator) the phone freezes and I have to remove the battery. I should add that this happened in all the 2.2 firmwares that I tried (unmodified and barebones).
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Really ? I've ridden the subway in TO without this happening. How are you getting to 2.2; flashing the full sbf or . . ?
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Is your phone new? I have two friends with the same issue on stock 2.1, seems to be happening on new defy's.... On moto forums, no one is sure what is happening- could be sim card related...
[Defy Android Development] MisterWB:
No pb on my side.

Do-you use undervolting applications like setvel ? If you undervolt too much you may faced freeze or randown reboot.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I am aware that I could change your custom settings, but being custom in the first place just strikes me as somewhat odd for something called bare bones.

I will just mentally make a note of this being a minimalistic rom. That way I have nothing to 'complain' about.

Keep up the good work :)
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Well since you haven't installed the rom, you dont know; so am I at least allowed to keep the name because of my neat update script ?

Hi, found a small but inside!

Every time you activate gprs/umts and you disable it even with apn droid or widgetsoid, the 3G symbol is still in task bar!

Dont know why, but 3G is disabled but symbol is shown.

Any idea??
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ya v1.1 had that issue, why v1.2 comes with it. Just flash the new version and you will be all set.

I know for me it hangs a little when I switch it off using widgetoid, but it does go away. Hangs for a minute for me on every rom. Reboot maybe? Heh

OK so I've had setvsel showing current mhz since this post and haven't noticed anything odd. Enjoy?
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Hi i test it again!

More problem :-((

I cant disable gprs / umts!!

even apndroid or widgetsoid tells me, apn is off, apn is ON!!!

I never have this!

Problems with time delay i have on every rom too.

But this?

Reboot doesnt help!

Is there any way to get it back.

I extracted it from system.img found in Stock.CEE3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR.zip, and was not able to install it since it's odexed. I also tried to push it to /system/app with odex file, but I've was not successful.

The default gallery app isn't working correct for me. The gallery has been freezing and stopped loading the "Camera Roll" I had to back out of the app and restart it a few times before I got into any of my four choices I have. I have about 450 photos on my stock SDCard no other images.

I flashed the Nordic SBF (the original file, not the fixed) and used it for a few days before barebones 1.5 came out. It happened with both. I am not using any tools that change the voltage. I was hoping that some of the tweaks in Barebones would fix this.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
default gallery is horrible, laggy, even on stock eclair.

no no no.. :)

i do not mean to being rude at all.

what i mean is default stock moto-gallery is horrilble,

i never use that gallery, i would remove it if only it is not related with camera app.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Patch will be out when its done. Thats what a bug list is for.

Not adding features in the patch; maybe next version. Just to note; isnt the Brightness option under Display in the Settings not Brightness Control ?

JIT is enabled in Froyo by default. It was one of the new features.

Wasnt answering your question. I know it stinks.

Febernacke is getting slow access to his sdcard because he is using the card that came with the phone; along with the read ahead tweak currently in use. A class 2 if I remember correctly btw.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
I know that.. :p And i meant that in CM you can change the default brightness values, the values for brightness range from 0 to 255, minimum being 2 (which is a huge battery saver!!)

Barebones v1.5.1 Launched

Updated to v1.5.1, check second post for changelog.

Sorry no upgrade patch with this one; few too many changes.

Enjoy though . . .
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Wow Fritolays, are you working all through the night for us again? Good work. I've just updated to 1.5.1 and so far so good. Email, Gmail, Calendar, Market... All the things I rely on are up and running perfectly.

Is there anything to test / look out for in this release?

Thanks! :D

Update: One thing for SetVSel users - Fritolays pre-applies an SD card speed fix in 1.5.1. and this time round if you tick the SD card fix box in SetVSel and apply it'll reboot your phone (at least that’s what happens to me). Just leave it unticked, other options work as usual, and stick with Fritolays' implementation for SD and that seems to work just fine.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Thanks for the new version. I assume there are no changes to framework-res.apk so my existing theme should work OK?

Ya, or if you want to use the setting in SetVsel then you will need to comment out the setting I've put in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Add a # in front of the second echo; "# echo "1024" > . . . ."

Ya all the themes dont need to be updated; I didnt change anything to affect those.

Sorry I did not make a patch; you will need to restore the nandroid first. You can do this even if you flashed the full nordic sbf. Avoids having to reboot to install bootmenu again.
