Here is an update zip for the stock camera: BB-FRO_StockCamera-signed.zip.

Quickpic.

Dont worry, its next :o)

Yes but it replaces Zeam with the stock blur launcher; here you go BB-FRO_StockLauncher-signed.zip.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Great! It works flawlessly. The camera is what I want. But now I need MediaGalery.apk because the stock froyo camera need it. Can you please provide it. I really like it instead of Quickpic.

What dependencies has MediaGallery? With which blur apk missing in BB is interconnected. Need it more app to function correctly?

L.E. Media Gallery needs VideoPlayer.apk and optionaly ArcPhotoworkshop.apk and ArcVideoEditorLite.apk. (all those are provided by you). I've installed MediaGallery.apk manually using Root Explorer. :) But a zip is welcome.

And I have one proposal, if you can, provide an instalabile .zip with those updated fonts from Google. Even CM7 doesn't have it but leaked GB from Moto have some of them. If yes, BB-Foyo will be the only Froyo ROM with new updated fonts by default. :D

With those little modifications this is the best Froyo ROM. I'll test it some weeks until the final version of the others GB ROM.

Thank you very much!

Hey Fritolays, or anyone who knows, does the nanodroid zip for 3.4.3....SEA_DEBLUR need a Fixed SBF to go with it? The full SBF is 3 hrs away from downloading...cheers..
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
No it does not, I used the nandroid and then went straight to BB 157. So far so good. Had to use the nandroid as it would not boot putting it straight over a fresh install of the stock Telstra froyo sbf.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Mine seems to only want to go with the latest CEE (tried the Telstra Froyo- it was great....not, but makes me appreciate the battery life of any other rom- Telstra's incompetence is astounding...they must have tried hard to decrease battery life and stability....anyway, I digress..), so just factory reset, flash the CEE SBF, root and install CWM, restore nanodroid, then reboot and flash BB 1.57 zip? or did you just flash the BB zip straight after the Nanodroid (the instructions said to reboot first before flashing BB)? I suppose that would mean the fixed SBF is in BB.... that kind of sounds right, it has just been months since I have used anything but CM7.
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
Nandroid is already rooted, seeing as I had tried to install BB 1.57 after flashing stock Telstra Froyo and not having any luck with that I restored nandroid 3.4.3-36-1.7_Nand.SEA_DEBLUR, let it boot, then rebooted into CWM and installed BB 1.57 zip. Been running it for about 4 hours now and so for no problems.

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
BB-FRO_StockCamera-signed.zip; I updated the camera zip to include the missing mediagallery.

And the updated fonts, BB-FRO_UpdatedFonts-signed.zip
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
WOW it rocks on my phone!! seems better than version 151 :)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Does anyone know if the BB-FRO_StockCamera-signed.zip would work with CM7?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
None of the BB-FRO files will work with CM7.

I mean you could try copying the apk to the /system/app folder manually, but I doubt it would work.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Thanks Fritolays!

After a bootloop from flashing the nanodroid method, i did the full SBF and it is all working a treat. Battery life seems incredible so far. Bluetooth working great- connects much quicker than CM7.:D
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Are the apks deodexed and zip-alinged? (No clue what the 2nd one means)
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
I see the nandroid is 3.4.3-36-1.7_Nand.SEA_DEBLUR

I was using bb1.5.6, so do i have to use the rsdlite to flash the fixed sbf or

i just need to restore this nandroid backup?

Please some one tell me!
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
a bug

@fritolais: do you have any solution to disable menu button when I receive a call? Many times I accidentally press it when I receive a call and a box message with Crystal Talk option appears and in this situation I cannot answer to that call. Even if I try to put screen off (with power off button), I cannot make the phone to be responsive and the screen keep on being active. I only can make sound off.

Every Froyo ROM with Crystal Talk have had that problem. Is there any solution?
[Defy Android Development] johanlh:
Does anyone with red lenses defy has tried this new version?

I'm having trouble in making the cam recorder works.

Please share your experiences with me.
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I'm having trouble getting GPS to work. I have changed the file gps.conf as suggested but that had no effect - the GPS just stays on like forever without seeming to find a position. I also see my original setup does not have the gps.conf file so I can't even copy that.

Any ideas? I am in Australia.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
I have a couple of issues- I can't send text messages- I have entered my apn's and used base band switcher, just getting 'failed'.

Internet is slow on wifi and 3g.

Bluetooth voice seems to drop out with my t505, media stays connected.

Other than that, all great.
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Gps isn't connecting properly either.

Think I will have to try bb1.51, or go back to cm7...hmmmmm
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
1.51 is the bomb! I just hope i don't cop the battery drain that started after a week or so last time....
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
GPS not connecting

amazing rom ...awesome battery life.13 hours of minimal use and just 9% down from 100...and this is coming from someone whos seen 20 hours full battery times(battery life improved after a change of sim...was getting 2.5 days with CM7 27july nightly).initially had trouble sending sms but then reflashed it from scratch with latest clockworkmod and everythign works now except GPS..doesnt connect..Please fix it fritolays(dont know how it works but if possible please put in gps software n related stuff from CM7 27 july nightly.used to get fix in 5 seconds flat with that) and this will be the rom i feel i will stick to for a real long time.

thank you so much for your awesome work.
[Defy Android Development] slph:
From windows gps catched 3 sattelites.

Make sure you have no spaces in /etc/gps.conf
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
I was having the same troubles with gps. What I have done was installed BB 1.51 then after that I installed BB 1.57 with only wipe cache & wipe dalvik. Now getting gps fix within 10 seconds on 1.57.

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
Finally a new Froyo barebone. Have been running CM7 for a while. Sure it is fast but I don't like all the tiny bugs.. like WiFi not working properly (disconnects me after a while) and battery drain even though I am one of the people who don't use my phone much during one day.

Altough I miss Motorolas E-Mail client and SMS/MMS app...
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
I am not able to send any texts. (
[Defy Android Development] Dewman4life:
Try wiping cashe and dalvik and reboot, that worked for me.

Sent from my Defy running CM7
[Defy Android Development] superfastmonkey:
Meh...didn't think of that, will try it again when I get some time next.
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
That didn't solve my problem! :(
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
Gps works.but it takes its own sweet time to connect.takes about 10 min...that too when an in car moving.doesn't connect or even find satellite from my balcony.(top floor and open).read that post about flashing 1.51 first but am kinda reluctant to go thru process again if a simple zip update can do the job.besides I too was having trouble sending sms initially n dont want to flash again.please if anyone can find a solution or if any one else can reconfirm flashing 1.51 smd then the latest does the job...
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ok lets compare 151 to 157.

http://m.cfa.aero/Report.html

Now the only real difference between the update-scripts is that 151 wipes the userdata partition while 157 doesnt.

Otherwise aside from program/file updates they are the same.

So installing 151 then 157 wont fix/do anything different.

It all gets overwritten in the end anyway.

Also compared - the files people will worry about.

[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
thanks for the fast reply fritolays..but then whats the solution to get fast gps fix.i saw the comparions and did see some differences in gps config file but dont know how tht translates in delayed GPS fix.and also please say if it wud be possible for you to extract gps files from CM7 and put them in here.thanks
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
Can you please tell me why there is a problem for me in sending any texts. each and every text fails!
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
As for sending texts..i couldn't figure out why it happened....but I had to start from scratch.reflashed froyo and then installed bb.initially I had done the same but then switched to cm7 nandroid in between and switched back to bb nandroid which I had made after my 1st clean install of bb.it was then I had trouble sending sms which I thought was due to cm7 nandroid flash I did in between.did a clean install again with zip and it was running fine

can anyone else too confirm.....ring tone does just once cycle and then phone just keeps vibrating...just rings once.if theres an option to make it ring continuously i am not able to find it
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
Hello....did a clean instal again.installed froyo sea then installed 1.51 and then 1.57 over it after clean cache and dalvik.gps works now.fixes in under 2 minutes.but the ringtone thing is persisting.it doesn't loop.just rings once.and this came up right after I flashed 1.51 and is persisting in 1.57..i checked it even on stock froyo before I flashed 1.51 and it loops.please try fix it fritolays.thanks
[Defy Android Development] stefa_vr6:
I can`t understand how you guys can have such problems with this ROM. For me, everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) works fine. Good performance and insane battery life (4 days with normal use).

just one question: bb 1.57 doesn`t have a preinstalled camera app? cuz i didn`t have any cam app after i instaled it
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
try using a ringtone which is of short duration...maybe 8-10 seconds and see if when u get a call does it keep repeating or does it play once and then phone just keeps vibrating with no sound?...apart from this everything else is working just fine for me too...awesome rom.yes it doesnt have camera u have to install it by flashing the separate zip file
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
somebody please help me with the sms problem. I am not able to send any texts! :/
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
guess u will have to start from scratch...wipe everything in "stock" recovery .install froyo root and install bb
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
it worked man! thank you! :D
[Defy Android Development] exxi:
Need some help guys,

the way I get it is that there are 2 base builds

- CM7

- Froyo

So I can choose which base build I want to install BB on? correct?

In the case of CM7 I falash CM7 and then install BB?

IN the case of Froyo I install the nandroid backup and then BB? Do I wipe in both cases before installing Froyo base build or CM7? Which is better, using the CM7 or the Froyo? What are most people using and why ?

Get if you could help me out! thanks a million tons friends!
[Defy Android Development] stefa_vr6:
It`s simple: if you go for froyo BB then flash (using RSD) SEA froyo (link in 1st page), instal custom recovery and install the .zip (BB Froyo 1.57) / if you go for CM7 BB, install CM7 and after install the .zip (BB CM7 0.53).

I think BB froyo is better (in my opinion) because it offers pretty good performance, reliability and insane battery life (3-4 days).

P.S. Ofc before flashing a sbf you must wipe
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
I just got back from the cottage.

There will be an update with the new zeam/quickpic/market later this week.

Update will include some changes for the skin.

Trying to make things more uniform.

After this update for Froyo, v158, I will work on the new CM7 version.

And yes if you have 157 there will be an update zip to 158.

Won't need to start from scratch.
[Defy Android Development] tarunyad:
its just not working for me .. i tried to install it on my stock froyo ..( tht came with my device JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7...rooted it installed 2ndint and cwm and ... my phone is now stuck on this motorola logo... however i can boot into 2nit..tried it 3 times still sam problem ..how long does it take to rebuild dalvik cache ?
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
have been thru this...here are the corrective measures...

1.install the latest version of recovery in 2nd nit(i have 2nd nit version 1.8 and in that recovery version i installed is something like 0.8.3..the latest)

2.restart the phone atleast once after u install 2ndnit...tht is u will still b in froyo ..just restart it

3.in recovery DO NOT wipe data...just flash the bb zip.it will automatically delete system apps and install whats needed.

as of now i think u will have to reinstall froyo after wiping everything in "Stock recovery" and redo everything.it WILL WORK.just b careful about above steps.
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
thanks fritolays...keep the good work up.i would request though to not update market.new one isnt good.very slow and consumes more memory....and also i wud like if u cud do something about the ringtones...small duration ones should keep looping..i cant use my simple phone ringing tones.they are of 5 seconds duration.just rings once and then phone doesnt repeat them.just keeps vibrating with no sound.they play nicely in stock froyo.please see if it can be rectified.thanks
[Defy Android Development] juried:
I confirm this bug.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Could you attach said ringtone.

The updated market will stay in bb_extras as it is now.

Don't need to install it if you don't want.

Rooted but not Rooted

I just installed the Froyo 157 wanting to experience the 2-3-4 days battery life that everyone is talking about. Sadly I'm not getting anything more than 12 hours of just email & internet use and phone customization (launcher, installing apps, etc) with barely any talking! Also a peculiar problem was I have root but then some folder like /etc/init.d show up as RO when the / is RW! All apps are working fine (Titanium Backup, etc) I tried Root Explorer & File Expert but both have the same issue. The main / folder is RW but the /etc/init.d & /system/fonts is RO

How can this be? and is there a fix for something like this?

The first time I had used the nandroid. I tried again with flashing the SBF and then rooting. Same issue. #help
[Defy Android Development] juried:
To help you trace the problem install Battery Monitor Widget which plots percentage against time. On my Defy, with APN disabled and leaving the phone alone, it will discharge of capacity at roughly 10% or even less, over 12h. With other usage it goes up. I don't have a good value. kill all apps that are not necessary and compare again.
[Defy Android Development] Sorensiim:
My thoughts exactly, this rom is the perfect base for your Defy.
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Hi,

i have got a small bug!I cant change a ringtone for sms or call!

There is no one awailable.

No song or ring is in the menu!

How could that bee?
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
I agree, how could it be?

I've just changed ringtones for both, sms and calls. The list of available ringtones was pretty long.

Don't know whether a data wipe (from CwRecovery) may help or not in this case... but you can try
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
Amazing work; thanks!

Please people respect the author and stop asking for added features (this is barebones rom) ;) and you can install setvsel or whatever you want after flashing this.

Unfortunally i need call recording capabilities (i need proof when buying stuff or services from companies using phone, who doesnt?), and only chinese base (me525) have it. And any market call recording app will only work with a chinese rom.

Really its amazing work
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Found the Problem!

You have to install the videoplayer!Then you can change the ringtones :-))
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ya odd, I can change them all day long right after flashing the rom. Dont need a video player. . . . anyways.

Ya I know, I'll look into the chinese rom to see if I can pull the sound recorder out. You know odd things is this rom has is too, just no icon for it. Try for example to add a sound clip to an mms; works fine eh ?

Oh and an update about v1.3; I lied there wont be an upgrade because I've made some in depth changes and I dont want to deal with possible issues having people upgrade.

Anywho, here is a preview of whats coming:
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
My "agree, how could it be?" was just ironic, as i wrote i can change ringtones for both, calls and sms.
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
Hey mate, looks great!

Did you add any gallery to work with the camera app?

And other thing, i had calendar problems with launcher pro widgets, any advice?

Just one last thing, i was one of the guys that "****ed" up his flashlight, mine works but is dimmed and at the end is green. I think this happened because of the froyosense ROM, any advise that could work out?

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
I'm looking in the gallery issue - like I stated in an earlier post. The issue is with the camera app calling for the blur gallery specifically. I'm trying to find the line of code that deals with it so it just opens your default gallery.

If I'm not mistaken - if your flashing is dim/green it cant be fixed by software. The led bulb is damaged now and needs replacing.

Led Replacement Guide

Defy Disassembly Video

Also can I get a screenshot of this sound recorder for phone calls you have. I grabbed the sound recorder from the china rom but its just an app; doesnt add anything. Do you access this option during a call from the dialer program ?
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
About the call recorder

The dialer app in the China Froyo is slighty different, there's a button in the bottom-left which enable/disable the call recording at any time during the call.

Btw, probably the chinese call recorder app won't work in another froyo build.

If you install a call recorder app from market either in China froyo and non-China froyo you will see that works properly on China froyo only.

There must be some code in the Chinese firmware which unlock the 2 ways recording.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Cool thanks for the extra info. Will help with the search hehe

Btw added linkage to the File Mirror located at http://m.cfa.aero/ enjoy !
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
Hi, but your rom issend chinas version, so we wont break our led?

Right?
[Defy Android Development] acus:
nice rom...

waiting barebones 1.3 i hope fixing media galerry not installed rplace by quickpic.. :D
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Correct this is not based on a chinese firmware.

Ya only because I'm putting the default gallery back in; I cant get the blur camera app to call for quickpic instead of the media gallery.

I found the line of code where it call's the gallery but changing it to the android default doesnt work; and changing it to point to quickpic directly makes it crash.

However, I just dont know enough about disassembling/assembling apk's to solve this at the moment; maybe once I read more on the topic.

As for the call recorder, same sort of issue - I found the feature in the blur dialer apk from the chinese rom; but no luck trying to port it yet.

[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Hi,

fast question: I have now a finland not downgradable rom installed, to install your one is enough to restore the nandroid backup and then the barebones zip, or I have to load also the fixed sbf?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Well I donno; this rom is based off of CEE 3.4.2-155-002 Deblur not Finland anymore (might work, but it is a different version).

But if you were on CEE 3.4.2-155-002 Deblur - then yes just start at Step 5.
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
THanks for info.

Please, could you add the apks for gallery so we can insert it our self?
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
OK, I have done the complete procedure and all works good: the first impression is very very good! It seems very fast and...how I can say..."clean" :-)

I made the attached zip update taking the deoxed file in the zip file I linked some posts before and it works fine for me.

I hope will be possible to integrate QuickPic (amazing fast!) with the camera, but for now I will use standard gallery for "camera shot preview" and QuickPic when I want to browse all the images.

Other things:

TASKS

I have tried to re-integrate standard tasks application too, using the deoxed Tasks.apk of the rom: the application works (you can see and set tasks), but the widget does not work (you insert it, but after the confirmation nothing appears on the home). But I bypass the problem installing Jorte (though in standard tasks app you can set a reminder and it has status bar notification...)

SWYPE

I have installed the Swype.apk included in the update.zip to /system/app instead /sdcard (I have modified the zip) and Swype keyboard crashs everytime it is called: is that apk specific for sdcard installation? (I have installed another apk from another rom and it works fine).
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
I have tested a lot of firmwares, and with each firmware i tried many call recorders, voice call recorders only worked well in chinese roms, and in other roms it would only record incoming voice, never outgoing voice. And what is annoying about the chinese roms, it can record both, but with annoying beep heard by the other peer of the conversation.

I read somewhere it could have something to do with the Radio Firmware,

[Defy Android Development] juried:
I have disabled the lock screen on my Defy, as 1) the button is hard to press accidentally, and 2) I use the Defy on the bike and need to get the screen on to look at stats without having to unlock-swipe first.

However, in BB-F, the Defy also switches on when the volume rocker is pressed, which is far easier to do accidentally and therefore a problem to me. This was not so with the original Froyo ROM. Is this a feature or a bug? Can it be disabled?
[Defy Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
good everything is working for u..the sbf provided in the 1st page is same as indian froyo.they both exact same size till the last byte....i had been in same situation as yours twice...and figured out 1.57 is not compatible with old version of boot menu if installed.so i chose latest one in 2nd nit and everything went fine.
