The jpeg fix, this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966800, which was in v1.3 causes the camera not to work properly.

I never said that 720p recording was in this rom, just 720p playback.

BlurCalendar.apk and Tasks.apk (Really you have to ask ? Maybe look a little at the /system/app folder).

Heck I donno why your phone turns off by itself. I would try a stock rom for a while and if you keep having the problem its your phone.

Also you say a 'total wipe'; what is that ? Did you flash an sbf ? Did you restore the stock nandroid ?

Or did you just do a factory reset (which the first post clearly states is not enough).
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Hey Fritolays, nice work! I've stuck with the modified XDA email.apk (with the screwy menu icons) as the apk from your update would install but fail to configure to my Exchange service (could certainly just be me), but otherwise your 1.4+update ROM is now perfect & 100% stable on my Defy. All the camera features, app install, calendaring... Everything I've done really, has worked well and first time.

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
And this one you posted:

It works and is it included in 1.4?

And I never spoken about 720p recording and neither playing...I said that the in camera setting you can select only one resolution for video (QVGA) and I'm quite sure that there was" Widescreen" and other resolution to select (but correct me if I am wrong).

I know that apks, but I want to know if there was some other apk (e.g CalendarSync.apk, CalendarProvider.apk) that can be removed if you use only Jorte.

Sorry, taking a look on the thread I understood that I'm confusing with another issue I asked you for and for which you answered "may I know".

In any case, I never had the poweroff problem with other roms and neither with your 1.2, but as I written in this case for sure could be some application I installed recently and not when I had others roms or barebones v1.2.

As "total wipe" means I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache from recovery.

From when I started to use your rom (so from 1.2 version) I have:

1. restored nandroid backup of 3.4.2_155

2. flashed fixed sbf of 3.4.2_155

3. installed barebones v1.2

4. installed barebones v1.3 (without reset/wipe anything before)

5. installed barebones v1.4 following your instructions "Upgrading Barebones" in first post (wiping data, cache and dalvik cache before)
[Defy Android Development] danielponte:
Guys, I just installed 1.3 like 6 days ago and my phone is running so amazing + I already installed a ****load of apps, the nandroid I used is the same recommended for 1.4 (3.4.2_155-Nand.CEE_DEBLUR.zip)...

Question is, I wanna upgrade to 1.4, is it ok if I just boot recovery and install the barebones 1.4 zip without doing a reset/wipe?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] diggedy:
can anyone comment on what the memory usage is with this rom? I know it changes depending what you are doing but just a ball park figure after a reboot?
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Need some help with the dialler voice recorder. I press the button whilst in call and it appears to do nothing. Do I need an additional app or something?

Would love to see the true android lock screen sliders ripped out of the korean framework.jar and added to your barebones ROM.

Keep up the good work!
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
I think you need a software for this, like Total call recorder (i think it's the name of the app, search the thread).

Make a backup of your apps before, i use androzip for this (only save the apk, not the configurations). Also, data files of the apps (especially games) can be found in /sdcard/Android/data, /sdcar/gameloft, /sdcard/Com2us /sdcard/(insert here the name of the publisher)
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Cool thanks for testing that - I dont have access to an exchange server to test it.

Now would you mind doing me a favour ? Could you rename MSExchangeService.apk ins /system/app and try sending an email through your exchange server - I have a feeling that we dont need this apk.

I would start fresh - I know its kinda annoying because as you say you have tons of apps. Maybe google around for a "free" copy of Titanium Backup . . . heh.

With the widgets I have running; Widgetsoid, Minimalistic Text, and PlayerPro; after reboot phone sits with ~240mb free ram.

Actually the call recorder is a new bug heh, though I'm pretty sure I know the cause. Also, I tried pulling the asop slider from the korean rom - but they dont use the zz_moto files to display the lock screen; and well I dont know what what to change to get it over here. I'm assuming public.xml seeing as it refers to the images but havent go it working. Idea ?

Ya I should include making a backup in that upgrade text heh, thanks.

The file jpegfix-signed.zip was just to resolve the freezing camera in v1.3, it is no longer on the server because v1.4 does not have that issue.

No the widescreen recording mod is a new Camera.apk - I havent tested it yet so. . .

I suppose you could remove MSExchangeService.apk too I guess. I'm not sure about BlurCalendarProvider.apk. But you need CalendarSync.apk.

Well since you followed the upgrade instructions, and it didnt happen on other roms or v1.2 - then it must be an app your using.

The differences between v1.2 and v1.4 are not enough to cause this sort of issue.

So there will be a new patch once I finish it to fix the built in call recorder, and restore the previous Email.apk because It does not work with Exchange (and I'll try and fit the weird icons).
[Defy Android Development] diggedy:
wow, I have 48-100 free at any time. I have a few widgets running but even with a clean home screen ive only got it to 120
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ya grab autostarts from the market to help clear up that issue. Lets you turn off apps at boot. Without it, yes I'm closer to 130 on reboot.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Ah good, not me being a numpty then :)

The keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml from the Korean build references com.android.internal.widget.SlidingTab as opposed to the bespoke Motorola code.

I think you would have to baksmali both framework.jars, copy across the right bits and recompile.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Thanks, I was messing with public.xml thinking it was refering to different images heh. I donno I was out of ideas it was late lol

I'll play around with it a bit and if I get it working it will be in the forthcoming patch.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Looks like it uses the standard jog_tab_*.png resources from drawable-hdpi.

Hope you can pull this one out of the bag.

The java smali it a bit confusing. Finding it helpful to refer to the commented AOSP framework java for 2.2.1.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ugh ya smali sucks is a pain.

Ok found this line in the framwork-res.apk/res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

<com.motorola.android.widget.SlideButton android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/tab_selector" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="96.0dip" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

Korean side is:

<com.android.internal.widget.SlidingTab android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/tab_selector" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

Now in android.policy.jar/classes.dex/com/android/internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.smali:

.implements Lcom/motorola/android/widget/SlideButton$OnSlideEndListener;

Korean side:

.implements Lcom/android/internal/widget/SlidingTab$OnTriggerListener;

But other then that I cant find other instances of that motorola stuff.

Anywho I copied over those sections and it just sends me to an android logo loop when it tries to open the lockscreen. I suppose I should retry and watch the dalvik debugger at the same time.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Barebones v1.4 Patch v2.0

New patch.

Changelog

Couple corrections to build.prop and media profiles.

Changed the Email.apk.

- Restored previous version; working with exchange.

Call recording fixed.

- You must install SoundRecorder-signed.apk from bb_extras to be able to record.

Added MiniTaskManager.apk to bb_extras, nice and simple task manger.

Grab the patch here (http://m.cfa.aero/roms/Barebones_14_Patch_v2.0-signed.zip).

Main file has been update as well, so you dont this patch if you re-download v1.4.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
thanks for new patch:D

You can change the version number in the main post will make it clear:D
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Thanks for the patch. Call recorder is now working great!

Keep going on the lock screen...

Maybe the slidingtab.smali or resources for it are different between the builds.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Ya I'll keep banging my head against it lol.

Btw added the black theme to the themes post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12715311).
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
OK about jpeg fix, it is clear now.

About the camera, to be clear, is it correct that in the 1.4 there is ONLY the QVGA resolution to select for video?

I will try to remove calendar apks you suggest me and check the behaviour (I saw that in the 1.3 you install only the CalendarProvider.apk and not the CalendarSync.apk, so I will do different tests).

Yesterday I removed some applications and the phone did not poweroff last night, but I wait for some more night without poweroff to be sure. I cross the finger :-)

Black theme is a good news! Great!
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
So what ? Using just the CalendarProvider.apk did not work correctly, thats why things changed in v1.4 !?

Also updated the black theme to v2, now includes battery icons (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022901).
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Hey Fritolays.

Well, I've been using Exchange email.apk all day now without MSExchangeService.apk. I've deleted that entirely from /system/app. Its working just fine, no problems at all.

Thanks for the new patch/update! :)
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Thanks for checking that out - had a feeling that Email.apk was stand alone.
[Defy Android Development] slph:
- Settings > Call settings > Voice Quality - Here seems "&" sign invalid, shown as "&"

- After screen unlocking wallpaper jumps down few pixels :S

- Market downloads via WiFi strange, need to reenable wifi to start downloading, then after reenabling - phone slows down :(

(Data saver enabled)

Sorry for bad english.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
SlidingTab.smali is definitely different between builds. I copied across the Korean one to 155-2 and it does recompile OK.

There are major differences in the LockScreen.smali I wouldn't know where to start.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Never noticed the missing & - not a big deal will fix it for next version.

Yup because lockscreen does not render status bar.

Also the status bar is rendered inline, not on top of the wallpaper.

So needs to redraw when status bar is active.

Will take a day or so to see if I can replicate your market error with Data Saver enabled.

I will post back here with results then.

Нет проблемы :o)
[Defy Android Development] bavo_t:
Hey, fritolays

Thanks for this great ROM, works really good!

I have two small issues:

- There is only the QVGA setting for the video recorder.

- This morning the time in the statusbar didn't update, same for the time on the locksreen. When unlocking en locking again the time would be set to the time i locked the phone and stay on that time.

This issue fixed itself after my alarm clock went off. (Could be some weird one-time-only issue)

I never applied the first version of your patch, only the second. Can I assume that patch v_2 also contains the fixes from v_1?

If not could you provide a link to v_1, that would alse explain the camera issue.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
i'm trying to answer,

i use this rom, and there is VGA resolution in cam recorder app.

no problem at all with v1.4 rev.2
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
I have the same problem and I have applied the first version and then the second version of the patch.

Now I wipe and reinstall the 1.4 to try to fix the problem.
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
The XML I was using didn't cope with the time format set to the 12hr clock. Here is a corrected version.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Yes v2 has all the fix's of v1.

I'm going to guess that it has to do with the fact that since I messed up the settings for the camcorder the first time around, anyone who opened the camcorder got an error saying corrupt settings or whatever.

Those folks will need to do a reset as those 'corrupted settings' seemed to have been saved in your data partition.

The settings I provide in my rom are just defaults, so once you change them (in this case not on purpose) the only way is to reset to get the new defaults.

You could try deleting the /data/data/com.motorola.Camera folder, but I havent tried this so no guarrantee.

Right, I'll look at it again tonight.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Only copying here since he don't have enough posts to dev section. Same problem here (tested in the first 1.4 version), but I'm not really anoyed with this ;)

8. Remove the Gallery and use QuickPic it's much faster and better than the stock version.

9. Please add SetVsel for Overclocking ;)

and I am really very thanks if U do all these .... Thanks a lot.
[Defy Android Development] mark-m:
Request V1.2

Take the new Build 3.4.2-155-2. It runs faster then the FIN Version.

Mark....
[Defy Android Development] tadream:
Nice work!

Themes, maybe? Or at least a black/dark status bar?
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
How did you determine it runs faster? If you used Quadrant; It may only be the score that went up without any noticable real-world performance improvements.
[Defy Android Development] PucciniH:
The rom Works fine for me :D

v1.2 Request

- I think it's a good idea to add some file manager

- I'd prefer Launcher pro

Good work! Thanks!

EDIT: I just realise the search button doesn't work and if it is pushed a few seconds it goes directly to new sms. How can i get again the search function in that button?
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
+1 for Quickpic, so long as it can integrate with the camera.
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
Hi. I just want to say the ROM is great. Good work. Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
Black bar and setvsel for 1.2
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Hm. If you accept too many requests/add too many applications and make too many modifications.. this will no longer be barebones, but just another modded rom, virtually identical to the others ;) I hope you will consider staying true to what you are trying to do now.
[Defy Android Development] andyfletcher:
i flashed the .sbf with rsdlite3.9 after clearing caches, factory reset etc. I had rebooted a few times also. I never noticed the freezing issue until it had been idle for a while and i had come to use it then after unlocking it, it hung there totally unresposive (i did still get the haptic touch from the buttons on the bottom). I was just about to pull the battery and reboot the phone and it "caught up with me" - many opening and closes of the tray etc..

I rebooted the device, seemed fine then once again after it had been idle for a while it did the same.

Until the freezing issue i was really happy with the rom.

Hope this helps.

BAREBONES

BAREBONES....I know what that means to me.

NEWSFLASH... applications are available on the Android Market. Imagine you would like an application, for instance lets say Launcherpro... well if you search on the market you will find it and not surprisingly you can install it.

If you must have it in system/app for some reason, then use a backup tool to get the apk then paste/push it there.

What an update to this style of ROM should be for is fixes to the barebones ROM not additions of applications that anyone can install for themselves and are purely personal preference.

The data connection seems flaky, maybe this could be looked at.

I couldn't make a calendar widget so I deleted calendar and installed Jorte, which I think is much better anyway.

Other than that this ROM is perfect as a starting point, maybe not so ideal for people too lazy to go to the market.

Sorry if this sounds like a rant, because it is. Happy days.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
As for the app/theme requests, ya neat stuff but again bareones heh.

Point is for you to grab it off the market.

Also (my rant), just as an example Zeam is 419kb, LauncherPro is 2.3mb. Find me a launcher smaller then Zeam and its in; dont ask.

But here is what I'm willing to do: continue with a minimal theme (even more in v1.2 hehe), and as for apps like gtalk, swype, and greek keyboard; I will make update zip files with said programs.

Now themes, ummm maybe; if I do it will be an update zip as well, and real simple like just a Dark Bar or something. Dont want to force anything on anyone.

Ya I know; consider it looked at ;)

So whats coming ?

Moving to new firmware v3.4.2-155-2

Even more apk's removed

Dropping used frameworks/files/folder/settings for removed apps

Tweaks here and there

I'm planning for next release in about a week (still have to go to work heh).
[Defy Android Development] jaduncan:
Talk would be useful; it's pretty much the only FOSS jabber client that uses a push service rather than burning through the battery with a constant connection.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
I tend to agree. Furthermore, it can not as easily be reinstalled by getting it from the Market.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Barebones v1.2 Released

Barebones v1.2 is out.
[Defy Android Development] pinkllama:
thanks - just installed 1.2
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Cool, let me know what you think of the rom.
[Defy Android Development] naenee:
Hm.. A number of changes in the 'Value Added' section seem counter-productive. For instance, you have made various changes to save battery, but then you set wifi to never turn off, and you've set the battery profile to performance.

Furthermore, how are custom sounds, barebones?

Perhaps the term barebones is used loosely here. 'Minimalistic' seems to come closer, package-wise.

I think I'll hold off on 1.2. 1.1 was already a gamble for me, as I believe in not changing settings unless I am sure something will be fixed by doing so - stability comes first.

I'll wait a bit and see what other users report after installing it.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Well, wifi is set to not sleep if you have it turned on (so still download when screen goes off). I use a toggle widget to switch it off when I'm not using it. The idea being that when you are not connected to your ap the phone scans less frequently to save battery.

"Loosely" because I added 370kb of custom sounds ? (which you already have in v1.1) Otherwise, sublte additions like umm 2 Live Wallpapers, and thats it.

As for stability, well v1.2 is much better if only for the fact that v1.1 had flaky network connectivity because stagefright was enabled. It just didnt work right.

Also just a little note, I would say 90% of the things I've set here you can change. I've just changed the phone defaults for the most part.
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Yup, I know about this... Its because BlurPhone.apk is from the chinese build, and its missing the values for other languages.

Next version will fix that.
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
I just downloaded Barebone-1.4, altough I have not yet updated. just testing Email.apk on Barebone 1.3.

And I can't get Email.apk to connect to microsoftonline services. BlurEmail works perfect, but that one is annoying since I need 6 apk's to use it including default SMS app apk's since UniversalInbox needs them and I need UniversalInbox to access my two email accounts.

EDIT: ignore this, I'm stupid :p worked perfect if I changed so it synced older emails than three days because I havn't got any mail the last three days :p
[Defy Android Development] breezasib:
Your lock screen sound slider transaparency wasn't quite right. I have adjusted it and made sure it compiles OK.
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Hi again Fritolays. I've been meaning to ask you, that latest patch included BlurEmailEngine.apk - is that needed? I can run both email.apk and gmail fine without it. What does it do?

Just wondering!
[Defy Android Development] Febernacke:
Can't create event in Calendar.

Opening calendar works fine but as soon as I create a new event everything close. The most annoying part is that the New Event stuff shows for 1-2 seconds then disapear

EDIT: Working, restored BlurEmailEngine.apk
[Defy Android Development] freemanlowell:
Ha! Mystery solved. I found the same thing here. So that's what BlurEmailEngine.apk is needed for, thanks for the tip!
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
I can confirm that resetting the data partition the camera restarts to work fine.
[Defy Android Development] nolimitzz:
i am having a strange problem, im setting my phone to use 2G only to save battery, sometimes the phone stops syncing accounts (touchdown corporate email/whatsapp/gmail) and suddenly i get an email / gmail or a message that should've been received 45 mins ago. anyone having this problem?

data saver is off.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
Probably another program to save battery disabling the connection when the screen is off. Juicedefender, zdbox and many others do this with the default settings.
[Defy Android Development] nolimitzz:
thanks for the reply, still i am not using any of the said battery savers, im happy with one full day and i recharge before i sleep.

any other idea?
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Zeam is NOT dead! Update 2.8.8

For all those who assumed Zeam development to be dead, here's an update! Update your Zeam Launcher (default in BareBones) to 2.8.8 via the Market. I installed SPB Shell for all of 3 minutes before running back to Zeam :)

All the more reason to stick to BareBones in the midst of a plethora of ROMs suddenly blooming for the Defy! I'm now working on a Gingerbread theme..
[Defy Android Development] fritolays:
Given some of the new developments for our phone, version 1.5 will be out next weekend (the 22nd).

This time with much more in-depth tweaks.

Sorry for my lack of input as of late; I've been terribly busy at work.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
Speedy Gonzalez!

10 Days to go! 1.5 cometh!
[Defy Android Development] hurka11:
Hi. I have installed Barebones 1.4 and have 1 issue. The camera freeze when saving the image. I cannot use the camera. Any solution?Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] Agge_:
I'm using Barebones 1.3 on and is very happy with it. It turned a bit sluggish after about two days of playing around, installing apps etc. But after a couple of restarts and more playing it's all fine now. I'm also having SetVsel on "Performance" (1000mhz while screen is on).

However, I do want to upgrade to Barebones 1.4 but isn't very keen on installing all apps and restoring all settings. The "Upgrading Barebones" instructions says to restore Froyo nandroid. Doesn't that mean that I have to restore or install all my apps/settings/etc again?

Is there no way of upgrading without having to do this?

Thank you!
