CM7.1 on DEFY

2011年10月12日 | 分类: Z-Turn | 标签: , ,
CyanogenMod, the community Android mod, is officially supporting Motorlora Defy in the latest release CM7.1. Now the system seems running well on my device.

Why I want CM7.1 on my machine:

  • try something new
  • I need openvpn
  • 2.3.4 ROM for ME525+ not working well on my device :-(

I followed most of the instructions from the post in CM forum, except that I didn't install gapps-gb-20110828. For some reason, Android Market from 20110828 package continously got crashed once I opened the application. I tried with gapps-gb-20110613 and Android Market worked as normal, so I recommend using this version of gapps if you ever encountered similar issue like me.

Well... Some extra jibber-jabbers about Android Market:

Region restriction sucks... It prevents me from buying Touchdown license from market...

I do hate some apps changing their names so frequently and deprecating the old version in market. I PAID for the old one, and I still need to pay for the new one!

    hey, There is no tun.ko under /system/lib/modules/
    That's a tragedy. I think I have to compile it by myself now
    I'm waiting for android.git.kernel.org to be available again .

    Is there built-in openVPN modules? like tun.ko?
    I find I have to compile a tun.ko for my nexus S CM 7.0.3
    Since the android.git.kernel.org is offline, I can't clone the necessary linux header files.
    So I have to give up openVPN temporally.
    is there tun.ko on CM 7.1 now?

      Yes, tun.ko is in CM7.1 by default. To make sure, you can download the zipped rom file for Nexus S and extract to see if tun.ko exists under /system/lib/modules/
