Defy Pro Rom - Defy General

So, I've got the ugly duckling of the Defy line(but I love it), the Defy Pro XT560. I was able to root using some adapted steps from a Motorola Motoluxe procedure(http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173, not in english). I'm wondering if anyone knows if this would mean there's a chance the phones are similar enough to possibly, maybe, someday get an updated ROM on the thing?

Similar? Not. Screens are not similar, hardware keyboard. I dont think its possible cuz of the screen resolution. It will be a pain in the "face".

I don't know enough about it. Apps seem to work fine with the resolution...is there a good guide for rom cooking somewhere? Maybe I'll play around myself since I doubt I can find anything that'll work with the phone.

Most of the apps are able to run on many devices cuz they support different resolution. It has nothing to do with the ROM.

What is the fundamental issue with a different resolution?

Check some ROM porting guide. Its written there that you have to choose ROMs with the same resolution cuz it will be easier to port. It means that u cant use the same ROM on 2 different phones with different resolution.

Well, there must be a guide somewhere on how to cook a rom....I'd like to at least try, given that once the next version comes out, GB will be 4 versions behind...

I have a 2ndinit CM 7.2 port just about complete. Everything except the camera works and I'm pretty close on that. This is using stock kernel, I have not looked into 2ndboot yet. I'm also waiting on the kernel source from motorola. If there's intrerest still, one I get the cam working ill post it.

Yes, we are very interesting with CM7 ROM - I had used it on my ChaCha and it was very nice. But, I believe that if I want to install custom ROM, I must have CWM Recovery (custom recovery) already installed, isn't it?
Sorry for my bad English .

CWM is installed using the Bootmenu installer. Right now I am running CM 7.2 off my SD card so I can dual boot. To access bootmenu cleanly I am currently using battery_charger mode,but, I have been able to get into CM7.2 using the first run service vpnmanagerpm. also. I still need to get the camera working, but, hope to have something up soon.

OK, if you already have running CM7.2 on Moto Defy Pro it's very good news, so one problem is camera, isn't it?

Excited to see this. Definitely still at least some interest.

Yeah, cwm works using 2ndinit. The rom is pretty stable, but, I still have not got the camera going. I'm closer though Everything else works and runs really fast off the sdcard. If I'm stuck too much longer, ill take a break and get a version without the cam posted.

not all of us can post there
maybe you should look into particulars(and post them) about instructions in number 2 and installing 2ndinit

Ok, sorry about that. The bootmenu installer takes care of installing the initial 2ndinit for you. The rom has 2ndinit built in for future boots. You just need to connect your rooted phone and run the batch file.

maybe others can say something
tryied with and without adb, with and wihout drivers, with two different phones and with 2 xp pc.
maybe something is't right with installer, or it is necessary use other os or to install something for it to work?

The installer needs to access adb. So either set your path to include the adb location or copy adb to the same directory as the installer script.

[ROM][CM9][Marvelc] CM9 release for the Marvelc (nightly)

I have compiled CM9 for the wildfires CDMA and have got it to boot. There is still alot wrong with it but this is taking over the CM7 project i was doing before this. I may go back and get CM7 stable when this is done though, just because I hate leaving things unfinished.
Anyways, so far I have used alot of modpunks folders and kernel and modified them to work with the cdma version of the wildfire s. Its still being worked on heavily however. If you would like to compile the rom, instructions below follow. Of course you will need to have the environment already ready to compile roms.
::::NEW::::
I set out to fix wifi, And in turn I actually fixed a lot of things. Enough that I classify it as a beta, so seeing as that. Download link is below. Please, only report logcats or unknown problems. Thanks
Code:
mkdir ~/cm9
cd ~/cm9
repo init -u git://github.com/simonsimons34/android.git -b ics
repo sync -j12
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch 5
make -j2 bacon
Note this rom doesnt function well but does boot. If you'd like proof a precompiled rom is located here in this folder. I will make them whenever i build a change, and send them off to my testers.

For all Roms please post bugreports here. Dont duplicate them if on is already open. also please use the logcat and please pastebin it. explain how to recreate the problem, as well. Thanks. Without this the rom will never get better

For changelog before releases see the following. They are my github commits towards fixing things:
https://github.com/simonsimons34/marvelc_vendor_ics/commits/ics
https://github.com/simonsimons34/marvelc_device_cm9/commits/ics
Release1:
this is all thats broken:
hq video
mms for uscc (vmus works fine)
camcorder (video its in the libs)
Anything else, let us know!
Beta2test2:
Wifi fixed
wifi tether fix attemt (needs conferm)
camera/bt still broken
better HWA added in kernel and rom
Beta1test1:
took a go at fixing wifi and camera, could of made it worse needs testing
changed firmware for wifi
fixed line in buildprop
changed kernel config to try to fix wifi
Beta 1:
What Doesn't Work:
Camera
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
HQvideo is buggy (blame non opensource libs)
What Does Work:
Everything Else
unless I got some rotten downloads, neither one of those zips flash. (error 7)
That error 7 would be the recovery your using. I think i can say its not cwm official for cdma, yes?
works fine here when I tested it no mobile data wifi (maybe blue tooth) and no camera I'll test more tomorrow with logcats of everything

Why don't you just send me patches so we have just one tree instead of forking? Forking should normally only be the last option. There is a reason why the Liberty and Marvel have a common kernel tree. Less work and everyone gets the fixes.

I had issues as well. I flashed clockwork mod through rom manager and then I was finally able to flash the rom.
All I get is freezes and restarts, no matter how I try to flash with this official. It's quite ironic really. Something that will FINALLY get me to shut up, and I can't flash it....

Yeah I used to get a lot of freezes and restarts when I was a noob and did not know what I was doing wrong with the flashing until I figured out it was my recovery. My phone (CDMA) doesn't like CWM version 5.0.2.6 or 5.0.2.8 or whatever those versions are. I am using 4.0.1.5 and things flash fine without restart. I have not tried this ROM and will try it later when I get more time but if it's random restarts during flashing and backups, then change your CWM to version 4.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't, sorry that I misunderstood your problem.
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------
One more thing while I'm on this thread, does the phone get recognized as an Android phone under this ROM? I know with Sense 3.5, it didn't and so I could not install Swype Beta and I can't live without swype on this small phone. Thanks to whoever answers this.

Rename the zip file. I've had this with twrp before and shoving a few _s on the end in front of the .zip seemed to work.
If that doesn't work I would normally rebuild but in your case you would re download so try that.

[Discussion] "Ubuntu for Phones"

As you all know "Ubuntu for phones" has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Lets discuss about this being a possiblity to port on our device.
A porting guide will be posted on Ubuntu website on 22nd (which is today in India).

Dual Boot
Just curious, the porting guide says that Ubuntu runs over the stock kernel, if it's right, would it be possible to run it in dual boot?
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) is having official support and currently the port is work in progress. Apart from the system partition size issue, if samsung galaxy s can run it, so can defy. This is very early stage and we can only presume such thing.

Should not be, most of the phones which can run cm 10.1 can easily handle this. Building it too doesn't look much difficult. "Ubuntu for phones" is surprisingly based on CM sources.
I've not enough speed for syncing sources, maybe Kayant or m11kkaa can build it for us.

Till it gets stable enough to worth porting, we will probably have CM 10.1 and kernel 3.0 working perfectly
A little update
I have successfully compiled the the ubuntu zip for our defy however, am facing a major issue at the moment which is the prebulit image that is needed to flash before installing the defy zip is not being installed for some reason Am currently trying to find why this is but no luck so far...... I think I may be something to do with our data partition..... maybe the preimage is too big for it??? that am not sure but I have just reduced it by deleting some images and videos included in the demo..... Hopefully it will decide to work this time

[Q] Photoshop Touch and my Kindle Fire 1st Ed

Hello everyone!
I'm an average avid photographer that owns a kindle fire 1st gen. Its been collecting some dust for quite sometime but now that I have been taking more and more pictures with my Galaxy made me wonder if I could add some photo editing tools that I could use quickly on the fly. So I discovered Photoshop Touch ! It seems to fit my needs quite nicely but when I sideloaded it to my kindle it just kept crashing.
Now that I know it doesnt function properly on the KF1st gen because of the OS that came in with the kindle made me want to try to root and flash a diferent rom on it to see if I can use photoshop on it.
So my goals are the following for this device:
1. Photo Editing
2. Light Reading
3. Web Surfing
4. Listening to music
What would be the most effective way to achieve this ?
What would be the best rom for this tasks in that particular order?
Is there a way I can dual boot the stock rom and the custom rom so I can use it for 2,3,4 and boot the custom one for just photo editing ?
Thanks in advance for reading my post and for any help,tips or insights on how to achieve this.

You cannot dual boot stock and a custom ROM, but you can dual boot GR9 Modaco ALT and a custom ROM. GR9 Modaco ALT is basically stock with root. Photoshop Touch will work on Jellybean.

Android 4.1.x and later & CM10 and later are all Jellybean. Your best bet is to install a normal jellybean ROM and use Gr8 alt-ROM (MoDaCo) for the alternate boot.

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.

So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.

I am on version 4.4.2 (V50020d) and have access to both a PC and a Mac.
I can work with either TWRP or CWM, doesn't matter. I just need a custom recovery!
Thanks to all in advance!

You can follow step 3 from [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267]this[/HTML] thread. This is vor the V50020a, but you'll have to edit the runme.bat like the guy over [HTML=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53587417&postcount=2]here[/HTML] did. That's what worked for me at least.
I was in the same boat, but after some searching, I've finally managed to flash TWRP on the V50020d. I can confirm this method is working

And since you are already such a helpful guy, let me ask you for one more thing!
Can you link me to a good lollipop ROM that'll work on this. Don't wanna risk messing anything else up haha xD

I didn't test them myself yet. I've only had this tablet for a few days and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock ROM at the moment ?
However, I did notice that CyanogenMod officially supports this device and that there are CM 12 nightlies on their site, so maybe you should try those.

Yup, that's what I went with! You should give it a try (Unless there are certain features that you like on stock ROM)
Lollipop runs super smooth on this thing! Seems to be just as smooth as on my OnePlus One. Now I just need to find a way to make the colors on the Gpad look less warm. The whites looks extremely yellow compared to my OPO

There are some kernels around here with the gamma fix. I've flashed one for stock ROM and that fixed the colors. There's probably one for CM 12 too.
About stock ROM, I really like this knock-on feature and the QuickRemote app. Those are some really handy features. There are also other features I like about it, but those are the most important. I'll probably flash CM12 somewhere in the future

Hey guys, I followed your guides and edited the bat. file so that it would flash and then reboot the tablet. The trouble is when I try to reboot into recovery it just gives me the error "secure booting error. cause: boot certification verify". I'm also on 4.4.2 rooted (towelroot) on 20D stock so it is really frustrating that I can't get it to work!
