Instructions for the transition to CM11

Initially, Android 4.4 for Defy / Defy + was distributed in a truncated version, since the entire firmware simply did not fit into the / system partition. For the same reason, you had to use a minimalist version of Gapps instead of a complete set of Google applications. Quarx recently found a way to expand the / system partition by reducing the / data partition, so from October 1, 2014 all firmware versions are distributed in the original version along with all language packs.
However, the partition size will not automatically increase and you will have to manually expand it.

To avoid unpleasant moments, make a full backup of the working firmware, and then follow the instructions.

1. First you need at least a stock or any other custom firmware with root and CWM
2. Through CWM installTWRP 2.8.0.0(Attention! Clear the phone from the installed firmware and leave only the custom recovery compatible with CM11), reboot and log in to TWRP
3. Installnew_boostrap.zip(system files to prepare the file system for re-markup), reboot and enter TWRP (from this moment there will be no blue indicator and to enter the recovery you will need to press the "options" button (four points) when the prompt appears on the screen)
4. Installresize.zip(the file system redesign script itself), reboot and log in to TWRP
5. Install the desired version of CM11 and Gapps (if necessary), reboot
6. We use firmware

Instructions from users:
OrenRavik
atreyu_ts (recommended / suitable for different firmware)

Important!If after installing the firmware the setup wizard falls or not the desktop, reboot into TWRP, make a wipe / system, reinstall the firmwarewithout gapps, wait for the firmware download, reboot into TWRP again and flash gapps.

When installing the firmware, we do not pay attention to the message "MD5 file not found", this is normal.

It’s not necessary to do wipe, but if, after installing without wipe, you have problems downloading the firmware or the inoperability of previously installed applications, it can help.

If after the next firmware update, Recovery does not work:
1. Download, unzip and put the file on the memory cardbootstrap_ext3.img.gz(37.79 MB)

2. Start the terminal emulator on the smartphone and execute the following commands:
su
umount / bootstrap
dd if = / sdcard / bootstrap_ext3.img of = / dev / block / mmcblk1p1

If after flashing the download does not go further, the logo and TWRP is not available, unfortunately you will have to return to the stock firmware through the installation of the official SBF and subsequent routing, the installation of TWRP and CyanogenMod

Questions and answers

Does Android 4.4 really work on Defy quickly and smoothly?
In general, yes. Not as smooth and fast as on modern smartphones, but much faster compared to cm-10.2 and stock 2.3 on the same Defy. In addition, after downloading, about 250 MB of RAM remain free on the smartphone, which allows working with many applications without sacrificing performance.

What does core 3.0 give?
- Smoother work.
- Easier porting process cm-11.
- Hardware video codecs (including 720p support)
- F2FS file system support (faster ext3 / ext4)

How does Gapps Minimal differ from standard Gapps?
Gapps Minimal is a heavily trimmed version of Gapps, which includes only Google Play and account synchronization tools. All other Google applications, including Gmail, Hangouts, Maps, Google Search (which includes the search box on the desktop and Google Now) you can install from the market.

How to remove the search bar from the desktop?
The first way:Menu Button ->Settings ->Show search string.
The second way:Remove or disable the Google Search app inSettings ->Applications ->Everything ->Google Search ->Disable / Remove . Please note that after this, Google Now will disappear.

How to increase the number of desktops?
Drag the icon to the right edge of the screen, the desktop will be created automatically.

What is ART and does it work on Defy?
ART is the bytecode compiler of the Dalvik virtual machine in the ARM instruction. In theory, it can seriously improve application performance, but has compatibility issues with some of them (for example, whtasapp). On Defy works without problems. However, you will not notice a real increase in the speed of work, while ART is an experimental function that slows down the smartphone rather than makes it faster.

For inclusion go toSettings ->For developers ->Select Wednesday ->Use ART. After that, the smartphone will be rebooted, and the next download will take a very long time (especially if there are many applications installed on the smartphone) with the message "The application is being optimized ...".

List of incompatible with ART applications

Should I switch to cm-11 now?
The version on kernel 2.6.32 is quite stable.

How to overclock the processor?
Using the Aero Kernel Control application, SetVsel or overclocking script. Works only on kernel 2.6.32.

What are the optimal frequency and voltage settings?
300/20, 600/35, 900/50, 1200/63

Is 1200 MHz is not overclocking, this frequency will not lead to instability?
No, 1200 MHz is the nominal frequency of the OMAP3630 processor, which is used in Defy and Defy +.Confirmation from the author of the firmware.

Calendar is not synchronized, how to fix?
The first way:flash file12-16_AOSP_Calendar_Sync_4.4.2_signed.zipvia TWRP.

The second way:Install Google Calendar from the market.

How to enter bootmenu / recovery when booting

Answer with a colorful picture

The sweep2wake feature is disabled after a reboot. How to fix?
Create a file /system/etc/init.d/99sweep2wake with the following contents:

#! / system / bin / sh
echo 1>/ sys / android_touch / sweep2wake

And put a performance bit on it using the file manager or like this:

chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/99sweep2wake

To reduce the delay of an incoming call, it is advised to switch the kernel to the ondemand power saving algorithm, what does it threaten with?

The author of the firmware is not responsible for the actions of users and as a result killed devices.

In case of problems with individual users, use the "Complaint" button.

The firmware is no longer updated due to the closure of CyanogenMod!

shpekkI completely agree, just the script is laid out in a hat, someone will use it, and then it will scream that the build is buggy, since the live wallpaper doesn’t work here :)
Well, about your build the same will say: lol:

Does the Bluetooth headset norms work or also as on 10.2?

I will answer myself: music plows, calls a robot.
The buttons are still very bright and can not be configured as in CM10. If in the future it will be like in CM10.2, then it will be a big drawback.

How to set (Standing CM10):
1. First I deleted everything that was superfluous from the proxy, I also deleted GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleFeedback, GooglePartnerSetup from core gapps.
2. Nakatil update-recovery.zip, reboot.
3. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, system and put cleaned cm-11-20131124-NIGHTLY-mb526 and 11-24_GApps_Core_4.4_signed.
4. Reboot

Rolled back to CM10.

asd_13,Dear, write, please, from what date do you install the CM11 firmware and on which core

[j1m]

asd_13 @ 11/27/2013, 01:11

The menu is partially russified, which is strange, considering that in previous versions it was russified by 95%, the unlock widgets were removed (crap all the firmware) it was convenient to launch the dialer from Lockscreen ...

Calm down already and come back in three months. CM-11 has just started to do, even CM-10.2 has not officially been stable, and you are waiting for a fully functional CM-11. Everything will be, and Russification, and widgets, and settings, and everything else. Wait and stop already hysteria for any reason.

Try LEDEFY

LEDEFY for stock core. In 2.6.32 other interfaces and apparently it does not allow you to turn off the backlight. At least I have been looking for the necessary control files in / sys for a long time, found / sys / class / leds / button-backlight / brightness and / sys / class / leds / button-backlight / max_brightness, writing zero to them should logically turn off the backlight, but it does not work ... It remains only to try to fix the driver in the kernel source ...

[ajaxodessa]

Ha, my camera has earned ... once :) After one shot (everything on the screen was with wild blue hues) it hung and, surely, like last time, it will not work until the reboot.

[Sittter]

I requested update-recovery and now TWR does not start at all, the phone goes into reboot.

j1m, do any wipes need to be done before and after the firmware? Or is it enough what is written in the cap? (I personally did, but are they needed?)

On firmware 4.4 from 11/24/2013 on kernel 2.6.32.9:
switched to ART
- everything except the camera works (the market also, Navitel works, Hangouts instead of SMS also works without problems)
-the speed of work is lower than 10.2, sometimes the gallery, the dialer is run for a very long time (seconds 7), but mostly within 3 seconds ...
- usually there was not enough battery for a day! About Miracle, 60% reached the evening with VERY active use, climbed all the time, watched! (another 10% left)

Updated with miui 4.0 - 10.1 - 10.2 - 11
