[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)

[struq]

Is everyone on AOSP getting incall volume? I for one am having absolutely clear and crisp sound. It may just be placebo or maybe its more clear on the 4.4 build? if this is OT the mods can please delete this post, but I could have sworn the sound was just too clear compared to previous version.

I get extremely low volume level for call on aosp with 2.6.32 kernel. At first I thought the call sound was not working, but finally found it is indeed audible. I guess it could be baseband issue but I didn't tried to switch baseband yet.

Woah ..... just saw your siggy. How did you hard brick your defy? That is an achievement

I was flashing my defy using mcgyver . In between the flashing stopped, my phone got switched off. I have tried every sbf. NOthing would work. ON my new defy, i think i screwed up the charging pins on the defy while using mcgyver method.

I did mcgyver once before.my ril bug started ever since I did that.

I'll try out draining my battery to zero after disabling FSync from Aero Control and hope Proverbs2 is right!

So the first boot after draining resulted in a bootloop but thankfully on the next try it booted perfectly without showing "Android is updating"! I don't know why the first boot was unsuccessful and I didn't wipe cache/dalvik for the second one. Maybe because I had has_journal enabled unlike Proverbs2. I'll try few more times and update this post.
This is a significant development and one thing is clear: FSync (enabled) does have something to do with data corruption.

UPDATE: After two more attempts I can confirm that data corruption is prevented by disabling FSync (has to be done after every reboot) from the Aero Control app.

Hi guys, I'm in trouble...

I was on latest build from Quarx and then I downloaded and tried install this new version. The system gave an error on flashing, so I cleared dalvik and cache and tried once more, again an error. So I rebooted the phone, and now it's stuck on first google screen when booting. Did I brick my phone? I had passed on almost every build Quarx made and never had any trouble.
I'm wide open for any suggest THAT MAY HELP. I'm sure people here are enough grown up to skip unnecessary comments.

If you don't know what to do from here, don't install cm11/4.4. This version is in beta and would only cause frustration to those that aren't ready to experiment with it.

Go back to CM-10.2-20131030 and wait for the main post of this thread to say it's ready for daily usage.

I think this deserves a sticky or notation of some sort.

For all those others out there with failing hardware, don't chuck it - repair it.

done that, loved it! (speaker, touch screen, display, a few buttons, battery...)

Well, I don't feel comfortable replacing the touchscreen, as when I did it on a HTC Prophet (QTek S200) both touchscreens I replaced were of poor quality. My current Defy has a misbehaving touchscreen (left 15pixels won't work, pressing 1 on the keyboard is impossible) which sometimes doesn't even record touches, and a Bayer camera which got some water in it (so much for being water proof xD). And I guess who tried to repair it forgot to re-add the three plastic rings which keep the logic board and the rear cover at a certain distance. @measel, where did you get your touchscreen? How much time ago and is it still working? I found this website, it claims they're original from Motorola (but I haven't found the small plastic rings anywhere - I tried with some snorkeling rings, they weren't of the right size unfrotunately).

Is that distance important? Because I also had three orange plastic things and hadn't any idea where to place them in the device, so I left them out^^

Just a Random Thought

@Quarx @Blechd0se I've seen so many post about low system memory issue so I was just thinking that what if we remove the kitkat launcher since it takes dependencies from the Google search which is not that usable for many of us and taking the system memory, if we put some other launcher like the cm's trubchet or the similar form of new Google home i found this on playstore....will this release some memory from our system???

I haven't tried it since I cant play with ROM, busy with new job...

will anyone report back on it....

Do you get in-call volume on AOSP with 2.6 kernel?

edit: I get a perfect call volume/quality. I don't get it how other people do not.

I get extremely low volume level for call on aosp with 2.6.32 kernel. At first I thought the call sound was not working, but finally found it is indeed audible. I guess it could be baseband issue but I didn't tried to switch baseband yet.

This is probably caused by a wrong volume setting for the earpiece. As these settings are stored in a sqlite database you can just update the volume manually. To see what this parameter is set to at the moment try this:

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "select * from system where name='volume_voice_earpiece';" 
113|volume_voice_earpiece|4

Try to raise this value, eg. to 7:

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system(name,value) VALUES('volume_voice_earpiece','7')"

Phone handing in general is quite buggy still in 4.4 so don't rely on it if you intend to use it to be reachable.

 

[Codeseven]

So, I'm able to download and compile 4.4 right off Quarx's repository, is that correct? Could someone give me a brief explanation on what that involves? I'm just looking for an explanation in lamens terms. I can research what to do from there. I already have git setup on a 64 bit ready ubuntu server.

 

[pjgowtham]

I am not able to get usb debugging working
Can others check that please
My drivers are okay i guess cos i rooted my phone with this set of drivers

I have a problem in my phone which makes battery not chargeable through defy and my phone doesnt show the battery level. My phone gets switched off unnoticed, without any indication. I can see battery level on the bootmenu. Is there any app which can help me see my battery level..Most doesnt work /shows wrong battery level.

look for the battd for your defy on this forum you'll find flashable zips for both defy and defy+ should do the trick

CM11 build with 3.0 kernel up for testing...

 

[gyorgyszemok]

@Quarx did you stop working on the 2.6 kernel once and for all? So we can only expect 3.0 kernel nightlies?
