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

[okij]

drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.StubContentProvider, not founded (notifiation founded and disabled)? ok?

I still have drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.StubContentProvider among the providers of Google Play Services and I have it disabled. Maybe it doesn't exist for some reason on your installation, in this case just ignore it.

AND please if you have time take a look and compare closely the screenshots between the two posts, as IMHO there are not so big differencies.
May be i am wrong.

You are right that there aren't big differences between the two screenshots in terms of uptime and battery usage. Of course the screenshots can't show your user experience, but as you wrote, you are quite happy with bootup time, screen wakeup time, delay at incoming calls, phone responce etc.

The discussion about disabling some Google Play services came up when users reported problems with system hangs and spontaneous reboots (bug #55).

It could well be that in the meantime Google has fixed some bugs, so that newer versions of the Google Play Services don't lead to bug #55 anymore.

If this is the case, disabling of services might not be so important anymore. If you are still willing to test, you could enable the disabled services, receivers and providers again and double-check if it has an influence on your user experience.

Thanks for yor responce,and as i agree with you(reading this post) i am not going to test again because as you saw in my previous post the result is about the same(with small differences) without using DS except the more free ram i have had without using DS using the rom for equal period but more heavier.So i decide to use the rom without using DS,still remaining to use the apps: Smart Ram Booster pro-LeanDroid-Greenify .These making the difference on very good battery responce,its worth a try.

All these written when i took your responce.

Have anice day

First via stock recovery make wipe data factory reset then follow this way.(Defy mb 525 green lens)

1.dnld the right sbf go here:for mb525(Froyo 2.2.2) http://motofirmware.com/files/file/...jrdnfryortcee-p016-a016-hwp3-service1ffsbfgz/
2.put your phone on bl mode(when powerd off push the on+vol up buttons for about 3 secs,then left,you will see on screen the bl version)
3.open rsdlite( on your pc,then connect yourphone to pc,after you see connected go to browse box finnd the sbf and click start wait till proccess full finished,now you are on froyo(in my case)
4.root the phone via gingerbreak 1.20 apk,framaroot 1.8 or 1.9(or google to find another way)
5. overclock to 1ghz via milestone overclock app from play store
6. install the right 2ndinit for your phone(in my case 1.42)via this cwm 2.5 is installed
reboot the pone and when you see the led lighting in blue push immediately the the vol- button,now you are cwm
7.via cwm flash flash the cm7 (more stable) and right gapps for Gingerbread then reboot the phone.

Thanks to @granazis for explaining the procedure in a really easy wasy for Defy, if you need to use it for a Defy+ pls follow the below links which I hope shall be helpful. For flashing the stock sbf the procedure is almost same as mentioned by @granazis from step 2 to 3.

For Stock SBF you may check the below link, although I never downloaded from this link as I had the file & the name matches exactly.

Having moved from CM7 to CM11 over a month ago, I can't think of going back. I'm very impressed with the new features, but I think sometimes the performance can be badly affected (even after overclocking to 1200mhz).
I've got a Defy mb525 and I'd like to try one of the earlier pre-repartition-resizing builds (september 2014) but I've only found links for the Defy+. I tried to flash those with TWRP_2.6.3.0 anyway (from vanilla Froyo) and it throws out errors.

Are there any surviving Quarx's CM11 2014 builds for mb525 someone can point me to? Or should I be able to flash cm-11-20140923-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip?

Thanks!

@S_droid
Here is the link for roms you like http://defy.svolkov.name/quarx2k.ru/buildbot/roms/defy-cm11.0/ But you have to start from sbf to flash,and if you were running on cm11 after 01/10/14 you have to make wipe data factory reset from stok recovery before you flash the sbf because the file system is repartitioned.

Also take alook on attached file.

which sbf i need to flash for Indian Version?

 

[mahadikrs]

which sbf i need to flash for Indian Version?

You can try the First one, find the same mentioned below.

http://motofirmware.center/files/file/82-defyplus-u3-451-134-dfp-231-cn-sign-ucadefyemarab1b50aa0090r-pds03c-usajrdngibrird15-p015-a030-service1ffsbfgz/

Also pls report back if it worked so that we can suggest it to others in requirement. Finding a Stock SBF for Defy+ is becoming difficult now as old links are going dead. I was fortunate that I did not had to download the stock sbf again as 3 years ago I got it downloaded but I made mistake of not saving the link address. Even though the above link has a file whose name matches exactly with the file I have. So hopefully it should work. Wishing a Best Luck:good:

mine is Defy bro.

 

[mahadikrs]

mine is Defy bro.

Really Sorry, but I do not have info about specific file for Defy, I even do not have the file name to search for. Even then you may pls follow the below link & try to locate the file if possible. Request Other friends also to pls help out our friend to find SBF for Defy that too for Asia, even exact / approx file name would also help out to search. I searched the web & am finding many links but all seems to be dead. The below one is confirm working but one just needs to locate the correct file.

Encryption not working?

I flashed my Defy+ with the nightly built of quarx two days ago.

Today I tried to encrypt it, but instead of rebooting the phone and starting to encrypt it just showed the green Android after 'starting' the encryption.
It keeps showing it for hours without any changes or the reboot.
There isn't any text on the green Android 'picture'. While showing it the phone is fully accessible and the task managers lists it as 'settings'.

Manually rebooting while the picture is shown does not working either.
Can anyone confirm that problem and does anyone have a tip how encrypt the phone?

 

[granazis]

@okij,please if you like inform me what build you are running now and what gapps you use? did you use services disabled and what is your experience?
I include mine running 12/01/15on attached file.My next step is to run the suggested by you 24/01/15 and then 16/02/15 because of changelog i saw,

Have a nice day

 

[okij]

@okij,please if you like inform me what build you are running now and what gapps you use?

I still update every now and then to a recent CM11 version. Currently I'm on 02-24 nightly with latest jajb's Minimal GApps from 02-22.

But I think that since end of January there haven't been any really significant changes to the Defy CM11 code. The CM devs almost stopped the development on CM11 and unfortunately also @Quarx does not seem to work on the Defy anymore. I really was hoping that the 3.0/3.1 kernel would reach a stable state, but by now I'm not sure if we still can hope for this.

So IMHO at the moment it's not really useful to discuss different nightlies anymore as they are almost identical.

The 02-22 Minimal GApps are running fine here.

did you use services disabled and what is your experience?

I still keep them disabled (true to the motto "never change a winning team"), although according to your experiences, they also might be enabled again when using newer GApps versions.

Thanks! I got it working. Turns out my rom image files were corrupted. I suspect TWRP had something to do with it, since it happened more than once.

To clarify: MB525 users can install the roms from the "defy.svolkov.name" link. The battery charges fine and all.
The 2014/09/23 build is working good so far. I had problems with adding google accounts but installing the latest "Google Play Services" (get the apk) fixed it.

Cheers
