Holy %$#@...the factory reset function is back!!! Its going down!! What happened eppy3? :eek:
I can still remember what it did long time ago....:mad: that factory data reset under privacy..

i dont have tested, but now we have the recovery wrapper enabled... i think it should use our recovery which doesnt format devices except data cache & sdcard

Can someone point me to step by step guide to installing this rom? I have T-mobile USA defy. The instructions on first page seem a bit confusing.

The F.A.Q. on page 1 has all you need

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

goto Step "2) How can I install CM7 RC0?" - ignore RC0, it could be any version (ie, RC1 v2 instead).

As long as you're familiar with using RSD to flash an sbf file ("Reboot from Stock Recovery with Volume Up pressed to enter Bootloader Mode, then open RSD Lite and flash Nordic") - that's the hardest bit IMHO... and that's OK providing you have a good sbf to start (as in the download links in the FAQ).

There is another guide also in the "Defy General" section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093876

You might be able to use the two guides side-by-side... it's pretty simple....

Cyanogen has implemented the feature differently :

This last feature (NAND) is an advanced one, which can be dangerous, but can help to understand problems after a bad flash...

It is like Mass storage, but for system disk... I will maybe not let this feature like that in the future... You can destroy your phone if you touch system partitions or try to resize partitions :p

So does this mean you could take a bricked defy (no 'M', white light only on power-on) and direct restore an image to it? or is that hoping too much? :)

oh, your right, the first question about it, which was a bit rude, came from you, too. ;)
It sounded as if you had just seen the option and asked about it, as if you had not seen the q&a before.

Its how we talk,Its between me & eppy3,he knows what im talking' about>he knows how i ask things.

@Epsylon3

Would restoring a full image/backup taken with the new bootmenu nand feature do the same like flashing a full SBF?
E.g.: dd if=./fullnand.img if=/dev/sdd bs=256

If so, would it be possible to incorporate bootmenu 1.01 to Defy 2ndInit so it can be used with stock froyo to backup your phone before installing CM7?
And then later restore it back to stock if needed for warranty for example.

Thanks

else ... the last nightly has USB Tethering (adb must be disabled for that)
:eek:
Whoa! Downloading the nightly now, will test in the evening if it works in Linux.
Ok, not evening yet, but I had a chance to play with this. When I activate tethering, a usb0 device appears on the computer, I can bring it up with 'ifconfig usb0 up', but then running a dhcp client, it doesn't obtain a lease. Any tips? Any further info I can provide that would help?

cm7-110814-0202-NIGHTLY-Jordan is fine for me, but wifi still disconnecting. tried all the tricks, also restored wifi binaries to rc0 and even to stock 2.2.2 (rc0 worked but still disconnected, 2.2.2 not worked just gave an error msg).

maybe it's an individual problem, wifi has been never perfect for me since i upgraded to cm7. i guess i should reinstall cm7 on NORDIC base, or try rc0/rc1v2 on current CEE base. i never tried them, just jumped into nightlies directly as being suggested in our local hungarian defy forums (bunch of people there are using nightlies without problems, installed directly on CEE and no prior RC flashing).

Maybe there is something wrong with your wifi device.You can also try the offical 2.2 (flash via SBF)to see if it's OK.:)

    Disclaimer: The next lines are by no means meant offensive or as a personal attack. It's just my personal opinion that I feel needs to be expressed.

    Yea, indeed. There are so many extra function in CM7 that I don't use it. I hope that the experimental phase will be transferred to ICS project. XDA's CM7 need to be finished by removing as many bugs as it's possible.
    I think you should get your expectations correct (refering to 'need to be finished'). Unlike e.g. Motorola, we don't need to deliver a completely finished, totally bug-free 'product'. Unlike e.g. Motorola people, we aren't paid to work on this stuff, we are volunteers working on this stuff for fun in our free times. That includes the fact that we are free to choose what we want to work on, including working on e.g. ICS (if we, or in this particular case, Epsylon3) are interested in that or not working on anything at all for some time and devoting time to the new-born son instead (in this particular case, me at the moment).

    You also need to understand that some things are incredibly hard to fix (due to the complexity of the code) or near to impossible to fix (because we're dealing with binary blobs).

    Edit: I guess it boils down to one thing: Writing bug reports is nice and welcomed, but they shouldn't be understood as tasks, but as information to us (the developers).


    Talking about your particular examples:

    Is this happening with headset only? The report is lacking details.

    This is the 'dealing with binaries' case. If you feel like spending countless hours hacking smali disassembly code, go for it. If you feel like spending weeks writing a replacement: Even better.

    This is fixed in our nightlies since some time. I invested a number of hours debugging this in the complex video recording code, BTW, without even having personal interest in the video recording feature.

    Never encountered that issue so far, how am I supposed to debug this now?

    6. Screen locks after hang up the conversation if the talk was longer than time for screen off.
    It should go back to call log according to:
    Settings > Call settings > Always back to call log - checked.
    I think that's behaving as desired from the code. When you unlock the screen, you should see the call log.

    7. Battery lifetime
    8. Battery lifetime
    9. Battery lifetime
    Sorry, but without giving any particular battery drain scenario, ruling out e.g. apps or 3G usage etc., it's a waste of time to even talk about this. I personally got 2.5 to 3 days of battery lifetime from the stock ROM, and I get the same from CM7.
    This 'CM7 drains my battery' story really is getting old, especially without any data backing it.

    Maybe the devs should start a vote for the most annoying bugs the users want to have fixed? I'd rather like to see a very stable CM7 than another 5 months with a pre-beta CM9. Just my 2 cents.
    We don't need a vote, we need people helping with the code, devoting time and fixing bugs. See first paragraph ;)

    Yes, there is still a kernel problem regarding the wifi module... But its the first bootable (and moddable so) kernel built from sources... for cm7
