[ROM][MOD]CM7.2 nightly with working camera and 100% battery (Defy+)

Hi all
I don't know if I can actually create a thread about that or if I should just post it somewhere else, if I'm doing something wrong please delete it and please don't ban me
So! Since I bought my Defy+ I've been searching everywhere, reading every post and lurking here and there to find a successful way to install CM7 on it.
Unfortunately, it seemed like a lost cause : there is no official version for it ( just for the small brother Defy ), every single version either didn't load or had problems, like inverted camera, not fully charging battery, APN problems and so on.
After several experiments and a pants-****ting soft brick, I managed to merge the perfect ( ? ) solution

This is CM7.2 nightly version 111213 : I merged it with a working camera ( no inverted pics, no bugs, working selective touch to focus ) and a working battd ( it fully charges the Defy+ battery up to 1650 mAh, no "stop charging at 80%" or stuff like that ), both taken from different versions
I'm still testing it, but for now I can't find any problems whatsoever, it's smooth and stable for everyday use
Install it like every other CM rom ( flashing gapps included ), and if after the first restart you can't find any signal just restart and everything will work
I was going to post it in another thread, but since it's a very common problem I thought it was better if everybody was able to find it faster, again, if it's not " worth " of a proper thread just delete it and I'll post it somewhere else
Thanks a lot everyone, I'm learning more and more everyday about Android thanks to you!
P.S.
I honestly don't know if it will run on every single device, regardless of Defy/Defy+ and/or Android version, Kernel and stuff
So I'm posting info about my device, and whoever is in my same situation can flash this rom for sure
Defy+
Android 2.3.6 ( full sbf, the one you can't downgrade from )
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
A COUPLE OF THINGS
1) If you had problems flashing the zip ( like not being able to open it or whatever ) you can try to rename it with a shorter, no-space name. I uploaded it the way I flashed it on my phone, so it works like this on mine, but who knows
2) For every request ( adding T9 dialer, changing this and that ) I have to remind you this is just a CM7 nightly with a couple of modifications to have full working battery and camera on Defy+ : it means I have honestly no idea how to change anything CM-related, and for that I suggest you to ask in this or this thread, where there are actual CM developers who can probably help you

I guess it's both for Defy and Defy+, as far as I know nighties don't include kernel, so you can basically mount them wherever you want xD
But yea, I'll add it anyway, along with info about my device

Maybe the name was too long, even if I flashed it with that name xD
about you problems.. that's very strange. which android version were you mounting before flashing this rom? defy or defy+?
As I stated in the OP, this is no weird black magic or anything, it's the basic CM nightly with a couple of variation to have working camera and battery xD all the rest is exactly the same as CM

Hello, first there excuses my Englishman for whom it is bad. Podrias to a stable miui to correct the problem of the load of battery since you it have I begin in this rom? Thank you

Thank you !
It is a pleasure to have a fully working rom.
I just had a little problem when calling, after a minute or so, when the screen locks I can still hear people but they can't hear me.
Any clue how to fix that ? I am not even sure it is coming from this release but it is the first time it happens.

Do you mind to share the m5d checksum here? So we can check if our download is not corrupted.

The "regular" Defy users probably won`t flash this since they can easily download stable CM7.1 or 7.2 beta that will work with no problems. Those stuck on 2.3.6 should flash this
I have "regular" Defy with flashed 2.3.6 SBF (red lensed) and I confirm that is this ROM working fine with my phone Camera, battery etc so far no problems.

Why not simply sharing with everyone what you did to fix the battery charging problem? It can't be that complicated isn't it?
Because I know what you did for the camera ;-...

@Jojo
Yea sure, I used this one
@amediometro
I honestly didn't understand what you said..
@ateach
never encountered this problem sorry
@maymyk
I'm a bit ashamed about it, but I don't know how to do that if you explain me how to I'll be more than pleased to do it
@[] AL []
I thought to share the whole working rom instead of the small "fixes" and tell you "you do that yourself"
anyway I found a different version of the "battd" included in the CM Nightly and I put it inside the .zip overwriting the previous one, but I'm afraid I don't have it anymore, if you want it you can download the ROM and extract it, same applies for Camera.apk and overlay ( which you said you already know about )
I'm pretty sure I found it via android-hilfe, a german forum which is full of good informations, provided you either know german ( which I don't ) or have a lot of patience to go through the disturbing google translator
if I can help anyhow let me know, even thought there's not much I can really do, I'm not a CM developer, basically every problem you can get with this rom is about CM..

can we enable 720p record?
or can we change camera with the azar camera apk?

work fine I confirm

Ok thanks, I don't own a defy+ anyway; I was just curious to learn about your solution for the battery charging.
In fact, during the holidays, I thought of doing the same as you did; I wrote a guide about all the tweaks I use on the same nightly and realized that it was extremely long and that I'd better just share a nand backup instead...
I believe that the question from the guy that you did not understand was about the same issue (batt charging fix) on MIUI this time...
And I'm pretty sure that the flashing problems on p.1 is because your zip name has a space in it; you should rename it and re-upload or make that very clear in the OP at least.
Cheers

[Q] A stable rom

Hello there,
I recently rooted my sister's Explorer because she kept complaining about low memory and lag. I rooted it but I guess I need to install a custom ROM on it as stock one is utter crap.
Because I am new to explorer forums can someone help me out with a stable rom which doesn't need a lot of tweaks and everything works as it should.
I had Wildfire S some time back so I am aware of ROMs and stuff but still as this is my sisters phone I'd like if someone can guide me what to do after I am done rooting. (How to install the rom and what partitions of sd card are required.)
Thank you!
EDIT: I shortlisted a ROM called "Exderoid Sense 5 Build#3.5"... What are your views on it? Any bugs? Everyday stuff!

Hi, brother, it would be better if you wouldn't ask for suggestions as it may lead to bickering and unwanted arguments between people.
As for the ROM.. I guess nothing is better than trying it out itself ! I guess the bugs will be mentioned in the ROM's OP .. and further bug reports in the thread of the ROM..
As for the ROM .. for (almost) all ROMs based on Sense 4.1 you need to create a 1 GB sd-ext partition on the Sdcard .. ext2 or ext3 is preferred..
Apart from this ROMs .. there are many other ROMs in this forum which are also pretty darn good. check the bugs out and try to install them , try and decide for yourself

Thread closed
No rom comparison threads please.
Try them yourself, there is no objective way to compare roms.

[Q] kernel

hello community. i am trying to get my brothers skyrocket battery life to last a little longer. i flashed PAC 4.3, everything works great except his battery life is dropping pretty fast. i know sometimes kernels can help with this. Can anyone link me to a good kernel that supports 4.3 for skyrocket? i looked thru the forums but could not find one. any help is appreciated. and if this has been answered a long time ago, i apologize for the repeat.
thank you in advance

I would get better battery stats and see what is using the battery and eliminate as many as those as you can. A kernel is not going to make a big difference.

Well if you want a kernel for pac 4.3, here in the skyrocket forums I haven't seen any for pac, there is a just relaesed kernel for 4.4.2 called Moretz Kernal in the forums heres a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694688, that would require a 4.4.2 rom and the 4.4.2 pac rom might not work with it due the hybrid kernel it uses, I would backup the rom with either Titanuim back or somting or nandroid and go test a CM Monthly or one of the roms in the the forums for better batery, theres also this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411161 to help cut down on the battery usage but remember to backup and read the first posts. Also the battery could be old and could contribute to the problem. Hoep this helps

[DISCUSSION](Bettery life on gs4 i9500)

Hey guys! How are u all ?? Let's discuss about bettery life that is Screen on time,standby time,gaming,music play time. I think it would be helpful and enjoyful. Lets start discussion.
Note:- PLZ MENTION WHAT ROM AND KERNEL ARE YOU USING.

I am getting this much of bettery life with Stock TW rom with voltaqe 11.2 latest kernel.

Actually there's been a similiar thread. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255169
