[Q]Defy+ Custom Roms

Hi guys.
O have a Defy+ phone with Android 2.3.6 onboard
(4.5.1-134_DFP-231)
Pls help me. I cant fully understand how to flash any custom ROM on it?
Root and 2ndinit installed, but i can't install CM9 or AOKP rom for example.
I am booting to 2ndinit, entering recovery, do nandroid backup, do full wipe flash zip from SDcard, flash kernel( from this thread), and finally reboot. And got continious reboots.
What am i doing wrong?

are you wiping cache and dalvik cache after you install the rom? try this and it should boot. Also for CM9 dont install the bootloader. It did not work when I tried to install the bootloader, but fine when I installed without it.
I would try the latest CM7.2 from quartx I have the apr release and its fast, stable and I have had no trouble with it. Well apart from the baseband switcher in the options would not save the changes so had to install the app for it.
here is the link if you are not sure where to get it from
http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/?C=M;O=D
just put it on the root of SD card
boot into recovery (2ndinit or CM)
you can back up your data if you want (but sounds like you have done this so the file should still be there)
factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache
go to zip from sd and file from sd and zip the new ROM
wipe cache and dalvik catch
reboot.
Oh you can install gapps straight after CM7.2 as well if you want gapps on your phone
here is the latest gapps for CM7
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Thanks, man, i'll try it. Will post a review later.

yeah if you install gapps you can do this straight after the CM7.2 flash
so once cm7.2 says its finished
go back and into install from sd select the gapps zip
install that (only about 9mb so wont take long)
then clear cache and dalvik cache
reboot.
All these ROMS might take upto 10mins to boot first up but thats normal.
if you installed Gapps it will ask you for your account details. Gapps only installs google play app and the google sync for your phone and contacts so it cant resync your contacts (there is a option to sync your apps.
I would choose not to do this as I ended up with 40 apps and most I didnt want lol. If you go into google play and hit the menu button (bottom left on the phone) and select my apps they will have all the apps you have installed and you can select the ones you want instead of having them all install at once then removing the crap ones.
I run V6 supercharger script and have the power control widget on the main screen so I leave everything off and set network to 2g unless I need it and I get 3 days out of the phone easy usually have like 20% left after day 3. So cant complain about battery.

WOW!Thet's...cool!I'll try to install in in a couple of hours!

yeah not sure if its the script that helps or what. I dont use the phone to much few short calls a day and hook it up to the car stereo when I am driving around. I would get to know the ROM first if you like it mod it further. but always do a nandroid backup first. If something happens then you can always revert back.
CM9 looks good and all but to me the usability of cm7.2 far outweighs the cm9. I have modded mine own theme to so its not like you are stuck with whats installed at first boot.
here are some screens of mine

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Works great man!thank you! started in 2 minutes.fast smooth and ver-very customizable! Now will deeply explore CM7.2!

glad you like it. Its the best ROM so far I have tried and I been threw ICS, whiterabbit and a few others but all have problems in everyday use and I wanted something that you dont have to keep restarting things coz they freeze all the time.
cm7.2 has worked for everything I have tried so far.

Fingerprints app - fix "an error has occurred" issue without resetting phone!

Fingerprints app - fix "an error has occurred" issue without resetting phone!
I have had my S5 for about a month or so now and my fingerprint sensor decided to die on me, triggering the same error many of you have posted about previously:

}
(image courtesy of @Marcellff from this thread, I didn't take a screenshot of this when I had the error myself)
Everyone says "factory resetting the phone fixes this error," and since I'm lazy--no, I mean, I don't have time to deal with a reset right now with work and traveling so much, I decided to think about how to fix it without having to reset the phone, and did very easily.
PLEASE NOTE, this requires root. Maybe you can try to do it without rooting the phone, but I don't own an Android device I haven't rooted, it makes it 100 times easier to do anything on the system level. So there's the only requirement - and installing Titanium Backup or a similar app that can wipe specific app data, but of course, TiBU is the best and fastest.
So I had to think about what was really causing the issue here, and it was the Fingerprints app. Don't know what the Fingerprint Passport app is, but that's not this. So I tried to wipe data through Manage Apps > Fingerprints (you can see I'm on version 1.0, don't think there's any updates for it), and got the following toast error message when trying to "clear data," which in this case reads "manage data"
Error toast message that pops up says "you don't have permission to open this page," which is total BS considering I'm rooted, but hey, you want to be difficult, fine then, let's go....
Firing up Titanium Backup and going to the Fingerprints app brings up this screen:
So just select "Wipe Data" and then you can go right back to your settings, Finger Scanner, and set up your fingerprints once again. ALL without having to do a factory reset!
Hope this saved you hours of work like it did me! :good: :good:

I'm going to try this when i resinstall a custom rom because I had this issue whenever I used any custom rom for the ATT S5.

Didn't work
Wiped data, restarted even the phone..

It works, but it may be the order in which you're doing things that's off - I've noticed it has issues with it sometimes too. I'm having to do this about once a month on my S5, the fingerprint scanner dies that often on this and has to be reset. Pretty annoying, but once you get it reset, it will allow you to add your fingerprints back to it and will work as normal again. Just keep at it clearing data, going back to the settings menu and seeing if there aren't any fingerprints stored, and you'll get it working again.

I've tried several times in different order.
I've also tried reinstalling the apk with TB, restarting, wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permission.
Nothing seems to work.

First, please edit your post to remove all my original text from my post, no need to have all those pictures reposted.... Second, you are rooted, but are you trying to clear data from Titanium Backup and not the actual Fingerprints app from Manage Apps? That's where I was talking about, since it is impossible to do within the app itself. Sorry if that was not easy to understand.

You can try to restore your data from Titanium Backup, that may work (it has for me once), but the real way to do it is clear the data the way I have laid out in the steps in my first post, using those screenshots. Just search for Fingerprints 1.0, scroll down or search with the filters on the top, and you'll find it. If you haven't found it, then you haven't cleared the data though, so that leads me to believe you haven't successfully cleared the data from the right app.

Hi,
If you still haven't got it to work, try flashing the GS5's PIT File again. I had the same problem as you until I did this. Hope this helps!

Hey I downgraded to kit kat and the problem is still there. I guess it is a hardware problem. And when I type in the code *#0*# in the dialler and tap the sensor button and then tap the finger print scan test, nothing shows up. This clearly shows it is a hardware issue.

Cant get snapchat working on custom ROM

Hi all. I've read through a few threads here and I've followed their instructions regarding getting Snapchat working.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but i cannot get the app to work. I'm currently using the "On the edge" ROM and i have tried removing xposed framework via recovery and also unrooted however still no joy I'm afraid. Also i did try the root cloak module through xposed however that didn't work for me either [emoji20]
Any insights would be great!

Uninstall Xposed Simples
Snapchat detects the XposedBridge, and when detected fails to let you login.
Uninstall Xposed, Sign in.
Reboot and reinstall xposed.
As long as you are signed in, it will work with xposed, the issue is attempting to sign in for the first time,.
If removing Xposed did not work, Was Xposed pre done on the ROM.
Could have files or Data still lurking around.
Am on Stock, i have the Same Error message and i can overcome it by simply removing Xposed.

I ended up getting a new phone due to a flaw it had and it works on this one.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Okay, with the multiple reports of it not working.
I deleted Snapchat, Removed any old files. Cleared Cache.
Reinstaleld Snapchat (With Xposed enabled) And i got the same message as above.
Rebooted into Recovery, Uninstalled Xposed, Cleared Cache, Waited about 20 minutes for Android to rebuild its Database.
Booted up, and attempted to login (Worked first go)
Rebooted, Installed Xposed, Still logged in.........
Problems with CustomRoms.
Install Stock, then Xposed and make the Rom via Mods (I find it no different from a Custom ROM, other than you know for 100% what has been changed)
(I always keep a Titanium Backup of Apps like this, You can restore them at any point, And you can carry on where you left off (As you are not prompted to login when restoring the app, You can use it with Xposed)
Of course you need to ensure you backup the App, after you have logged in

This is a known thing. If you are not logged into Snapchat before Xposed is installed, you will not be able to login. Uninstalling Xposed, logging into Snapchat, and re-installing Xposed will fix the issue and let you stay logged in - just do not log out. No idea why they do this dumb ****. It's not like it prevents people from using anything. Just makes it a hassle...

Cant erase FOTA via fastboot, update snuck through

Hey gang, I doubled checked and couldn't come up with an answer but somehow Android System Update got past my frozen FOTA & Update Center (few others) as well as having system updates unchecked in Dev Options. I haven't installed the update & would love to stay on 10D.
So I boot into fastboot, run the fastboot erase fota and get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
As most can spot I'm definitely in fastboot as the fastboot getvar all and fastboot reboot function just fine. I tried defrosting the fota & others and that also didnt work.

Tmob,
I moved the Update.zip from Cache and the otacerts.zip from system/etc/security to my SD card and then went to settings/app [enable show system]/Update Center and cleared data and cache to remove the notification. I think I cleared the cache on Google Play Services as well the 1st time around but the notification came back on restart.
Side note: I had the update center frozen & it still was during clearing the data & cache. I've rebooted a few times and notification is still gone..hope it stays away. Still curious why the fast boot commands didnt work.

I'm on tmo also.
Ok, here's what I did. It's the old Sammy trick. As you did, delete or move the update.zip file from /cache directory. You will have to unfreeze the update center to get the notification again.
I selected the update notification from notifications and then selected to install it. See the attached. It said rebooting. It won't reboot because the necessary file is gone. Wait 10 seconds and touch the recents home key and close the window. Done!
I rebooted the phone and no nag.
I'm on OvrDrive's 10j base now so it doesn't matter, but if you want to stay on 10d and stop the nags, this will work. Once the update fails, it won't try anymore.

I hope this worked for you. I was afraid to try this even though it used to work on all my sammy phones, but I bit the bullet and it worked. @OvrDriVE 's ROM is great. I do a lot of lurking watching what is going on with each rom and I feel that Ovrdrive has the best. That's not to say anything bad about the other guys. They are very involved and actually help people out in rom threads that aren't even theirs. We have a great group of folks here. With that said, OvrDrive's I believe has the least complications and he is very responsive. I believe he came from a Note 4 which is where I came from and his reputation on the Note 4 was excellent.

“Google keeps stopping” after Android Oreo update

I got a Nexus 6P and it received the Oreo update yesterday. After installing the update, there were few errors like "Gboard stopped working" etc., That happened only once and the device was working normally for few hours. Now suddenly, I keep getting "Google keeps stopping" in the launcher screen. When I close the popup, the launcher is reloaded and the popup appears again immediately. Phone is currently kind of unusable. Tried to open Settings, but that got closed as well.
Tried checking Play Store for the latest updates, but got none. Anyone else got this issue? Any idea if this can be resolved?

Try wiping the cache partition from stock recovery. If you have TWRP (doesn't sound like it) wipe dalvik cache as well.

In the stock recovery, I see only these options:
Reboot bootloader - Restarts this recovery
Recovery mode - Boots up and then shows "No Command"
Power off
Barcodes - Shows barcodes of various things about the device.
Start - Starts the device normally, issue still exists
I don't see any option for wiping the cache partition.
I don't have TWRP installed, but will do if that is my last option.

Just figured out how to clear the cache partition from recovery mode. Just tried clearing the cache partition. But the issue still persists.

It's kind of a long shot but you can go into settings>>apps and force close and wipe data from both Google App and Google Now Launcher, then restart the phone. If you are still seeing the error regularly then you download the full OTA (.019) and sideload it from recovery mode. You will not lose your data this way. If that sounds too daunting, you can also do a factory reset from recovery which will wipe your userdata, so be sure and back up your stuff before the factory reset.

I can't do that, since I am not able to open Settings -> Apps. It gets closed as "Settings has stopped working"

Just did a factory reset. I didn't get the error for an hour. After setting up all my apps for half a day, the error came back. It is unfortunate that even stock Android has issues with Google's official app.

The problem is on your end. You will need to properly wipe your phone and reinstall Android. I would suggest you just go ahead and unlock your bootloader now, because unlocking at any point in the future will wipe the phone. After that is done, re-install Android 8.0. There are many tutorials on how to do this. It will not void any warranty you may have. It will give you more tools to work with in the future. Good luck.

Try Nova launcher. It's working great. Best luck.

There is some critical error for the new android Oreo (for me is nexus 6p) which make a system crash on the desktop (google now launcher) and on settings (you can't open app list). It is can be created by any of your applications which you need to find. So only way to remove the app, in this case, it is to use a google play application or maybe some other launchers. For me, it was "6 Minute English". I find it via installing nova launcher and on the common app list, the application was shown without a logo, with green robot image instead.

Google keeps syopping after OREO update
I had the same problem with my Samsun Galaxy J7 after the update. I just unstalled the google from the apps. It went back to the previous version. Now the problem is solved
