Need help. Can not install ms2ginger 4.0

I have installed cm7 no problem. I have wipe the phone and installed 3.4.2-179-002-tmobile-froyo-fixed.sbf. I installed SndInitDefy_2.3. I go to recovery. wipe data. wipe cache. wipe dalvak or however it is spelled. when iI try to install ms2ginger zip I get installation aborted.
My main goal is to sim unlock this phone so it can be used on at&t. I don't care what rom I use. just want it stable with sim unlock.
Thanks
Tayte
I believe my camera lens is green. hard to tell.

I believe my camera lens is green. hard to tell.

And how should someone help you, if you can't even tell us, what Defy model you have!? Why is it hard to tell, when Logcat specifically tells you which cam module you have?

[tayte2003]

It is the green lens. Sorry I am new to this and it can be a little confusing. I just want to install ms2ginger 4.0. But i'm missing something.
Thanks!

Today I screwed my phone with a bad install of a program to optimize memory, even after uninstall battery drain was high and the majority of the cpu governors weren't working.

I went to custom recovery and restored only System from original MS2Ginger 4, and now things seem back to normal, all my apps and data remained good.

Have I said this room is great ? good to have it :victory:

 

[renoob]

For some reason, I am missing Sleep and Reboot on my power press options menu after my otherwise successful restore of MSGinger4.0.
Anyone else had this issue? Suggestions?

I'm doing a wipe/restore to test.

>>Edit
After wipe/restore, menu is back.

>>Edit again - found the culprit, it's this .zip
720p+panorama-defy.zip
Looks like it's already incorporated into the Nandroid.
The panorama camera mode is sweet!

Otherwise, this is a great, comprehensive ROM.

works too in green lens mb525?

works too in green lens mb525?

ms2 ginger 3.0 works well in green lens .... ms2ginger 4.0 has extreme lag

 

[nedywest71]

I do not have any lags.

MS2G 4.0 on Green Lens works great (so far been all time on MS2G since LITE and v2.0)

Hi guys! I have CM10 (CMX) on my red lense defy, and I use gingerbread kernel (of mb256).
I want to install MS2Ginger now, but the install guide says that I should have froyo on my phone,but I'm having some problems to fllash a froyo SBF and I'm afraid of install any froyo ROM and have problems cause of the kernel.
What should I do?
Install any froyo ROM? Install MS2Ginger dictly from CM10? Keep triyng to flash a froyo SBF?

 

[m11kkaa]

which files are needed to fix SOC-camera on GB-kernel?
I'm using custom kernel with SOC-support but this Stock-ROM does show blackscreen at preview only.

EDIT: got it working. just copied all libs which started with "libcamera".

Guys, I installed MS2Ginger directly from CM10, and seems to work well!
But when I try to open "Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Interface" or "Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Lockscreen -> Style options" or "Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Lockscreen -> Widget options" and some other options, I get this error:

The aplication CyanogenMod settings (process com.cyanogenmod.cmparts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

I already tried again and again and tried to reinstall the ROM, but the problem continues.
Any tips?

Chinese font problem

Install MS2Ginger4.0.zip and MS2Ginger4.0-font-fix.zip, but still can not show correct Chinese font. What's the problem?

Hey Gents,
Just a note that I have Multiboot working on my Defy, with DHT-22 GB & MS Ginger 4.0 as nand, CM 7.2 Defy+, and WajkIUI v2.10.27 Defy+ on SD, as noted on the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659&page=118

Any thoughts on overclock or 4th vsel support for multibooting the GB kernel, i.e. 4.5.3-109-DPP-11-gingerbread-BL5?

 

[et032343]

Install MS2Ginger4.0.zip and MS2Ginger4.0-font-fix.zip, but still can not show correct Chinese font. What's the problem?

To follow frank2000hk's procedure can fix the bug, but I don't know why MS2Ginger4.0-font-fix.zip can't. Thanks for walter79 and frank2000hk.

Anyone can check this:

in MS2G 4.0, uncheck auto brightness in settings,
then set a lower brightness .
after reboot,the brightness always goes back to about 30%,
which means it cannot be saved for other values of brightness after reboot.

I found this because it's too bright for me in auto mode compares that in MS2G 3.0.

If there will be some mod to lower down auto-brightness?


edit:
It's ok now.
It happened after I installed an app lux auto brightness then uninstalled.
When I reinstalled ,uninstalled again ,it comes back normal.
I cannot reproduce this issue as the steps I first use it.
Maybe random bugs or others~~

edit2:
After a unnormal reboot(power+volume up+volume down),
the brightness come back to around 30% again.
Then every reboot/shut down keeps that value instead of a lower one.
But it becomes normal after this:
set a lower value in settings,
open dice player and using a higher one,quit,you can see screen becomes dim.

After this,reboot will keep the customer value.

But weird thing is I didn't open any video player that time.

Is there ever going to be another update to this rom?
