CM10 use totally of my ram - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a problem, recently i installed cm10 on my motorola dy (MB525).
And CM10 use all my ram memory, so I almost can not use application.
Do you have an idea to fix this bug.
And what is the difference between the CM10 and Quarx epsylon?
(sorry for my english i'm french)

Android as a system works better when it has very little RAM because it freezes activities in RAM like Messaging and then restores the instance when you open Messaging. If you have problems with RAM further than this go to Developer Options>Background Process Limit and change it to 3 or 4 and reboot which should free up some more RAM.

Wipe Data (factory reset) from Stock recovery.
CM10 is the generic ROM - quarx and epsylon make specific builds for the Defy.

Try wiping data using CWM recovery that came with CM10
reflash your rom
boot it once.
reboot to CWM and install Gapps.
reboot and see if something changed about RAM consumption.

[Q] Any WIUI doesn't work on my device :(

Hi
My device: Motorola Defy CyanogenMod 7.2 off st bootmenu 2.0.0, multiboot defy 0.5 (2.2.2, Poland, green camera SOC, JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179 deodex, radio EPU93_U_00.59.01)
I try to install WIUI (2.4, 2.5, 2.6) from different sources on Multiboot (cache - 150mb, data - 750mb, system - 350mb) more than 15 times. Doesn't work:
2.4-2.5 - black screen
2.6.15,16,22 - first load, work screen, reboot and than cyclic reboot from the boot animation
CM7, CM9, MIUI 2.4 work fine
Flash yesterday JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179 deodex - didn't help
Help me please.
P.S. I do not have enough posts to post in the topic of firmware WIUI
Is there anyone in the house?

Does it boot without multiboot?
Sent from my MB526 using XDA
I didn't try because I need stable main firmware with all working functions for all days using. Now it's CM7.2

Maybe issue with multiboot.
Wiui GB is very stable. go for it. Its based on CM 7.2
Do you have installed multi boot manager? Look up if something is wrong (written in red), this is an bug i had sometimes. But will try it if its working on an other defy.
- So 2.6.8 is working s virtual for me the other version will test later

At the Russian-speaking forum, no one is loaded on multiboot. I want to try, but don't want to flash on Nand.

Yes, I have. CM7, CM9, MUIU work fine.
I even flashed MIUI 2.4 and than flash WIUI 2.6 over MUIU 2.4. Didn't help
Check the md5 sum? Sometimes i got trouble because the zip wasn't complete. And file size was 0kb.

wingrime's ROM is very popular in other forums and there's a reason for.
everything works! especially camera libs are much better and .35 is rocking on there. and it isn't slow because it has got bad results in Quadrant.

i made a mistake
gps does work on other roms i tried (aokp 4.0.4 asis by ??? (dev swift), swiftdroid 2.0 asis by mur4ik), but bluetooth calls NEVER worked. the other person on phone hears me, but i hear nothing (as i said: music works) this is not a problem of the headset, because it works well on my laptop and other phones.
will give the other roms a try, a little bit sad, the openswift was the best rom i ever tried but i need GPS!
never had a so fast rom and so much space for system and ram
maybe it depends on my swap? never had it till this rom
a question about swap: more = better? have 1gb swap now (highest in recovery i think)
do i have to make a new swap when i change rom?

Swap is like virtual ram it push proceses that you dont use on swap part and frees up the ram
1 gb is more than enough
no you don't

1 GB is wasting SD memory
i an currently using 64 MB because my system usually needs around 20-40 MB Swap
only games like GTA 3 need so much memory, but you won't be albe to play these games smooth.
many people complain about BT headsets, most ROMs have problems. you should try some older releases, some of them have it working
(i think about SDSL 1.1 , maybe it'll work)
http://depositfiles.com/files/kf1ehfxkm (SDSL 1.1)
if it doesn't work try some other ROMs (maybe devswift's oxygen, some froyo ROMs etc. )
good luck
EDIT: for wingrimes openswift ROM:
GPS fix: flash this :

great, tried it but i sadly i removed cache and userdata
now i have to install all apps a 2nd time i think
about swap: can i change the size without a new installation of the rom?

tip: use titanium backup! it saves all apps with their userdata
to change the swap size just use CWM again. but save your SD-card files first

nice will now try a other rom, because i have to install all apps new
think im going to try [ROM] GB 2.3.7 | CyanogenMod 7.2 | 2.6.32 Kernel | Build Three by tejas
will try swap 128mb and 150mb system partition (because there stands nothing about needing more space for system on the phone, right?)

[Q] Jellybean on Defy (Need to wipe data?)

Hey guys!
At first I'm new here and from germany, so don't be mad for my english.
I have CM9 running on my Defy and want to upgrade to CM10 Jelly Bean-Defy Builds by quarx or Epsylon3.
In no case I wan't to lose my messages on the phone and all the other things.
Do I need to do a full data wipe, installing CM10?
And does anyone have got a link for Jellybean Gapps without a torrent in it? In Quarx CM10 Thread only is a torrent link.
Thanks!

I went from latest quarx cm9 to cm10 today without wiping. The phone did the application optimising before completing boot and I still had all my apps. I'm not sure I'd recommend it though. Some of my system settings weren't properly set after upgrading.
You can use this app to backup your messages and restore them later:

I went from ICS to JB without wiping data, just cache and Dalvik-cache. It worked, in the sense that the phone booted and seemed to work, but after using it for a day I found it got really slow; applications were taking a long time to launch, and some stopped responding completely.
I saved my messages and performed a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik-cache) and then flashed JB and Gapps again. This time, the phone ran much faster and after 2 days it hasn't had any slowdowns.
So, you can _try_ to upgrade without wiping, you won't lose data and the phone will be useable, but I strongly recommend doing a full wipe.
Thank you, guys!
I think I'll give it a try.
What about the GApps? Do anyone have a link for that?
i have installed it over cm9(wipe cache only)..its works really good at moment.
I don't really know if I want to try it... :/
Yesterday after several attempts, had to do a full data wipe... It was bootlooping. Now works pretty well!

Yesterday I flased CM10 (25/07) and I only do a wipe chace and clear devilk cache before flash CM10 and then gapps for Jelly Bean. You can find gapps for Jelly Bean here goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
One of my friends also has got a Defy running CM9-ICS now and he will try it for me if I have to wipe.
My Question is answered. Ummm don't know if necessary, but thread close is ok
Thx Guys!
Just shifted for ICS to jb....first of all the bootanimation remained the same ...the one showing cynogen 9
So I thought it didn't worked and started normally meanwhile checked the settings and came to know its 4.1.1
Can anyone please tell me the difference between ICS n jb except settings....like in ui or something...

The App-Startup animation is different from ICS. When you take a picture it slides to the side after taking it. In Gallery the Images are now seemed to be stacked, like the page changing animation in App Drawer. The Statusbar is different and many other changes... Like the menu guidance and so on.

[Q] Need better rom and help with supercharging. required in room - 720p, stable.

right now i'm using the quarx nightly for my defy+. my problem with it is that it doesnt seem to be very stable. lots of errors that ask me if i want to wait or force stop, lots of launcher redraws (thats why i want the supercharger thing working). I was very excited to install JB/ICS and experiencing the holo UI, but i dont really need it. i actually miss Go launcher, and probably will use it with what ever ROM i decide to flash next.
some details - got latest quarx nighly, JB, on my MB526. find it somewhat buggy.

I wiped data, don't know what is the app data you're talking about, and as I didn't used the previous ROM in it's rooted era (it was rooted for mere minutes before I installed quarx), didn't have use for titanium backup at all.
About permissions, em, what permissions? of? what do I change about them? how? is there a ROM that comes with that to begin with? I used quarx for little more than 2 days, I really prefer just installing better ROM, if such thing exists (I get the impression quarx is quite popular).
Use CM7.2 maniac nightlys and install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990921.
Looks great and the rom is very fast and stable
Link for the Rom: https://github.com/maniac103/android_device_motorola_jordan-common/downloads
(Use cm-7-20121107-UNOFFICIAL-jordan-signed.zip for normal defy and jordan plus for defy +)
You should know how to flash a froyo sbf because downgrading from CM10 to CM7 is very buggy.
Because of the controversy and arguments they inevitably generate, "best ROM" threads are prohibited on XDA. Thread closed.

You installed 4.2 CM10.1 on defy. Search in developer section [JB+] CM10.1 you'll find how to mount sdcard, but in not permanent, you'll need redo this after reboot. I suggested you to go back to CM10 - it's for daily use.
