I tried a few times today...hung up on TIBU more than once, and on more than one fresh install so I didn't get into the apps very far. I was deleting bootani and ringtones, then rebooting and installing gapps.

How are you guys holding onto data? Are you running the radio commands every boot?

I know it's gonna get there...sure appreciate everyone chiming in. It's a fine line to not sound like complaining, but these things have to be made known.

I'm holding to data every time. I don't know what I did. When I first install this rom today, every time I reboot my phone it lost signal, so I had to input those commands. Then later on the day, I created a backup of this rom with Rom Manager, then I restored that same backup. After that my phone has not lost signal on every reboot. (I rebooted 6 times already)

Edited: I just reboot my phone again and I keep holding on my signal.

it works much better overclocked even a little, gingerbread kernels do work on this...and keeping signal is just a fluke...all i did was reboot once, use the radiooptions 1, 5 and 0 but it didnt do anything so i tried putting it into airplane mode but it wouldnt go away so i rebooted and the signal hasnt gone out

That should be it... hit the power button and hold x at the same time... and just continue to hold x down until you are in recovery.

If that doesn't work, I would boot to the bootloader and reflash a stock rom, and start over. Try this... Just my $0.02 though.

Edit: Saw you got it, good luck.

Only on a reboot...if you really did it we'd be hearing a whole lot more about it...
Where's that no-no smiley when you need one...lol

It is running snappy fast though. I've been playing with tibu and it isn't bogging down in the least. I have Pete's 1100 running.

Did you made a backup of the rom with rom manager? I remember doing that, then restoring that back up via rom manager.

Odd, I decided to try a full reinstall and accidentally rebooted without doing anything other than removing a couple system apps I don't use and my data came right back no problem and has stayed back??? Maybe cowsquads and my phone are just awesome like that lol

Although one thing I noticed is somehow I broke init.d scripts running automatically at boot after the first reboot? Script manager to the rescue I guess...

Oh did anyone notice location works now? (Location using mobile network anyway)

Try reflashing it? If you need to try an sbf go to peter Alphonsos website look under downloads> sholes and he has an rzrecovery sbf, a clockwork sbf and an sprecovery sbf or the standard stock ota sbfs too

    * camera saving null jpegs fixed

    * enabled TLS register user in kernel and userspace
    * enabled 1% battery charge display
    * lid switch reporting fixed again (haha)
    * updated wifi drivers and firmware
    * usb storage and adb work
    * probably something i forgot ;)
    compiled kernel with gcc4.5, userland with linaro gcc 4.7 and -O3

    still broken:
    camera flash

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/k7agmab0uvuf274/deprimed_200mhz.zip

    build default is core @ 180 (sgx @ 120)

    3 kernels:
    core 160 hi 80 low sgx 107/53 ~ stockish speeds
    core 180 hi 90 low sgx 120/60 ~ moderate performance increase, good batt life
    core 200 hi 90 low sgx 133/60 ~ "battery waster" :D fast! definitely wont work on all phones. it works on my droid built 9/11/2010, but the other one built 7/19/2011 doesn't.

    other changes:
    touchscreen? idr if that was in 7/3 build
    camera stuff
    sw dec
    added a few missing bluetooth files
    not really much else

    overclock breaks camera, backported milestone mt9p012, hp3a, and isp drivers
    this fixed camera and camcorder with sgx overclock, and i'm getting higher fps while recording
    was 15 , now 20 to 24.
    isp now uses an additional 6mb of ram, but i think it's a good tradeoff.
    true 720p recording may be possible now ;)

    Edit: still freezes... hmm.

    Edit:
    odexed build is still unstable, it locks up occasionally when the phone goes to sleep, and usually doesn't come back.
    no errors in logs, nothing i can check looks out of the ordinary, happens with and without gapps, completely mystifying.

    today i ws able to hack in the defy qtouch-obp-ts drivers and enable 5 point multitouch
    the new drivers came with new firmware. previously ver 19, new ver 22.
    this actually got flashed to the touchscreen controller, it's a one way process, unless someone can dump v19 from their phone.. but
    the new ver is compatible with old kernels too, so i don't think it's a big deal.
    i also modified the way the driver reports touch events based on moto stingray qtouch driver
    this is compatible with ics and jb without hacks.

    ics progress: testing an odexed build. it's 20mb larger, but uses 20mb less ram and it's fast! now half of system/app lives on /data
    jb: boots. touchscreen is ... weird. no radio audio sensors lights anything really.

    figured it out:) well maybe i don't quite understand it, but it works :D
    problem was in sram34x.S
    apparently newer kernels don't modify sdram AC timings because sram code can't guarantee no one is using sram when the clock change occurs, which causes random crashes, or in our case, no boot.
    i've also rebased my kernel on deprimed and so far all is good.
    still need to test battery life, it's probaly worse, but better than previously posted builds
    screen off: ram @ 80Mhz sgx at 53Mhz
    screen on: ram @ 200Mhz sgx @ 133Mhz
    Edit2 warning was caused by dsp opp2 not being able to be set
    dropped dsp opp2 to 160.
