[ROM] Manual/working port of PARANOID ANDROID 1.97a

[t0n0n]

Ypu need to have adb setup on your computer first for this to work.....
i have used it before
make sure phone is off
type adb logcat like i said before then
plug in your defy via usb then switch it on...

I'm doing it, tried even with CM10, my CNA port(The other ROM I need to debug).

My ADB setup is normal, I need it to develop apps. After booting up adb logcat gets on fire, but nothing before it D:

How do I get the adbd server running before the phone boots?? I'm trying to get the output with Eclipse, but it doesn't show anything. Or does the adbds start after a while and the ROM isn't even getting to that??

from terminal on linux or command line windows you must have adb setup first on your computer
type adb logcat
then plug in your phone into pc
and turn it on ....

don't we need to enable adb from bootmenu?

UPDATE: It appears that while this ROM is working for folks with red lens Defys, those with green are reporting boot loops so be warned that you may or may not have luck with this.

UPDATE 2: Dropbox has killed my public folder so if anybody else wants this ROM, I'll need an alternate host. Suggestions?

Try Dev host.it's much better and faster than dropbox. or try mediafire.

couple updates

First of all, I want to thank those of you that have jumped in here to try and help - much appreciated!

Moving right along, I was playing with the framework last night and stumbled on to something that may help with the bootlooping issue.

I've slightly revised the rom and have uploaded it to mediafire (OP updated) for anybody that wants to try it again.

Also, I cannot stress enough how important it is to wipe cache AND dalvik before trying to boot. Failure to do so WILL result in a bootloop.

Looking forward to more feedback...

MB525 - SoC (green I think): The rom is running smooth apparently (I only have it for couple of hours so this is just a first look).
What is not working - autobrightness apparently is setting my brightness to 100% always. It will simply ignore the light in the ambient.
Also, the autobrightness advanced controls are gone.

UPDATE 3:WORK ON DEFY GREEN LENSE
Wipe data,cache and dalvik cake
Install rom,gapps
WIPE cache and dalvik
and reboot
all is working

 

[ro_explorer]

all is working

Autobrighness ?
Compass ?
Proximity sensor ?
Hardware decoders ?

Autobrightness yes
compass:no because is based on 12/08 quarx
Prox.sensor:yes
Hardware acc.=yes

 

[brajesh.sharma87]

button backlight working? coz I am not able to make it work 1.96 onwards even after changing the values. If yes, dew.man will you mind sharing how?

Yes. I will send you a PM with the details when I get back to my dev box. For now, off the top of my head, search for "brightness" in arrays.xml

Proximity sensor is always working OK or it missfires time to time ? (like having to use the patch to wake up the screen after the call).
The last question was for Hardware decoders not acceleration.

 

[brajesh.sharma87]

Yes. I will send you a PM with the details when I get back to my dev box. For now, off the top of my head, search for "brightness" in arrays.xml

If you are talking about this

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">
        <item>32</item>
        <item>48</item>
        <item>96</item>
        <item>0</item>
        <item>0</item>
        <item>0</item>
    </integer-array>

then, I should mention this is the first fix I ever done when I first got PA to boot on defy. and I can still make it to work on ICS version.

The prolbem is as I said earlier, even after changing these values, I am not being able to make it work. There must be some silly thing which I maybe ignoring. Lets see if I can dig deeper this weekend.

Have you tried reducing the number of "slots" to be the same as in the source CM10 rom (I don't remember if it was 4 or 5)? Also, make sure that the entries there correspond/are synchronized with the rest of the brightness settings by slot.

I wiped data, cache, dalvik.
Installed froyo kernel, PA, gapps
Reboot

Stuck on never-ending boot logo

Please advise

After using the rom for a few days myself, it's been very stable/usable for me. Obviously not as smooth as a Galaxy Nexus, but definitely usable. With the exception of the GPS issue (can't lock) everything else has been working for me - bluetooth, usb sharing, auto brightness, hw acc, etc.

I've update the OP with a slightly newer version that includes some brightness level tweaks and a variation of the framework that should boot for both red and green lens defy's.

I've also added a poll to try and see if anybody besides me is actually using this. If I get feedback and people are actually using it, I'll try to make some more time to further tweak it. If not, then I'll just move on

And again, thank to those of you that have come on here to help others that've been having trouble. Your efforts and wealth of knowledge are what make XDA such a great community...

Not sure I follow - this is my port of 1.97 as I had issues with 1.98/1.99 on my GN so I decided to stick with 1.97 for the Defy as well.

Are you referring to a different rom perhaps?
