Good ROM bad government...

GalaxyXT V4: This ROM is a keeper... Good job Khal Powers! A+ I have run it for awhile now and have not encountered the problems that others have mentioned here. Perhaps it has something to do with the origin of your phone? I have an unlocked XT720 that came from Singapore. The ROM may need a few tweaks but for the most part I have found it to be a solid performer... I am not a big modder so all of this was pretty new for me... I am happy with the improved phone performance and will probably keep it unless something a lot better comes along.

On a less cheery note, here's an update on the growing police state in the USA that deals with cell phones. :(

hmm just tested your theory....i think you are right...runs smoother with a higher vsel. was wondering why performance didn't increase after i activated swap...but now it has
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
hm.. sometimes I can play for around 5 minutes, sometimes it crashes after 20 seconds.. please try again, my phone crashes certainly .. but sometimes after a longer time and sometimes after shorter time. could you please play ~10-15 minutes and tell me if it crashed?? if not, I know that it's a problem that I caused somehow...:confused:

what are the advantages of using swap partition? and how big should it be? around 100 mb?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
I can confirm here my kids played ninja fruits more than hours without reboot/crashes or freeze ...

The advantages is more smoother and can run heavy games..the ideal size for swap is total ram x 2 +1mb.so the total is 513mb.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Okey, thx. I'm gonna do everything from scratch again.

does our xt720 just have 256MB ram?:eek:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Yea dude...256mb ram..very2 bad ..huhu..that's why xt720 didn't get froyo update from moto..the ram is too small..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
uh that's not very much.:o

what do I have to with the swap partition after creating it??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
After completed swap...you can look here how to load the kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990735
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That's not a valid excuse. The Motorola Droid and Motoroi both have 256mb and received froyo from Motorola. There are no technical barriers to releasing froyo for this phone... don't get me started on what sorts of ****-flinging monkeys Motorola's support, PR and management teams are.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
does this new custom kernel require that every time the phone is booted by using USB?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Yes if you want to use the custom kernal you need to fastboot every time.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
so everytime the phone is booted it must be connected to the PC with usb cable??

that would be very inconvenient :confused:

and is it anyway necessary to create swap partition if I don't use the custom kernel?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Yeaa..but then milestones users got bad experienced after froyo updated and finally they flash back to cm or other custom apac rom..how come 256mb ram can survive with 8mp xenon..totally not matching at all..moto screwed ..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] donant14:
im stuck at the touch to begin screen, once it gets there, it reboots and continues this same loop.

I resotred via open recovery and did a wipe/factory reset then rebooted the system. Does anyone know why the phone keeps rebooting at the welcome screen?

Sounds great, any ideas when to expect?

where is installed aplication store?i installed some app and its on /data/app,its in internal memory?does app2sd (ext3) working in this rom?

This version does have changes done to the appearance of the Phone and Market app. It's not completely stock.

How do you rename camera_click.ogg using explorer? Everytime I rename it, it goes right back to camera_click.ogg.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't have this problem. Everything you say you did should work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
In Root Explorer there is a button at the of the directory listing Mount R/W. You have to mount the system partition with write access before you can rename the files.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
And how exactly do you do that?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
update V2 on frontpage..no need to do that..all done already:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
The ro signifies read only. You have to click the mount r/w button.

I m sorry i search but i can t find how to install an img rom....

Nandroid??? RSD lite?????

Edit sorry i found out for the noobs like me try nandroid...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
I have the basic explorer app. Would I need the root explorer upgrade to do all this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Look here and here.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Yes you would need an explorer with root access. I'm sure it could be done via adb but I don't know exactly how.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
What is adb?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's the android development bridge. It gives you terminal access to the phone via USB.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I believe if you dont fastboot you'll just get the standard kernel (without swap support & all the other enhancements). Yes you can just skip the swap partition & still run Kahl's ROM with the standard kernel.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Just in càse in future you want to use the swap kernel or mybe not necessary at all..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
so creating swap partition is useless without using custom kernel / fastboot?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's not flashing *back* unless they go to eclair. If Motorola is concerned about the *quality* of their released software, it's news to me. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Yes....correct..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Yes

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
thanks for explaining that!

before doing everything from scratch i want to make a backup using open recovery.. but it's still showing "system: Dumping......" for 30 minutes now..? i already managed to make a backup using open recovery few days ago. but i can't remember that it takes so much time? oO
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Unless you've enable compression on the nandroid I don't think it should take more than 10-15 minutes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
okay, I just pulled out battery .. hm, for the backup i chosed the following points in openrecovery:

System

Data

Cache

Cust

Cdrom

Boot

SDData

only boot.img was backupped..hm something went wrong

wooooow, open recovery consumes very much battery --> 80 % battery 50 minutes ago, now 40 % !!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Try only:

System

Data

Cache

Boot

SDData

Boot is optional--it never changes. I don't even bother flash it between ROMs--I just do system.img. Data, Cache and SDData should cover everything else. (Unless you've explicitly done something to it Cache is probably not necessary, either)

And yes, OpenRecovery eats batteries.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
hmmm it always gets stuck while "system: Dumping".....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I have a problem. With v4 ROM and Galaxy theme, I have to launch open recovery to boot. If I don't do that, phone freeze at M logo.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
System Recovery works now :)

wiped dalvik cache & cache partition & deleted cache of System Recovery

@ Zachary57

I had nearly the same..restore the latest nandroid version ( i think its the final version ) and then it could work.

did you do this:

??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I didn't restore with rsd lite but is this really necessary because I am in stock 2.1.1. I just install with openrecovery. Is rsd lite necessary ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
GalaxyXTV4 is nice... but for some reason I've had to do a significant number of battery pulls since putting it on today due to my device freezing which is unusual. Hmm. Anyone else have this issue?

Works fine other than that, but I'm not sure why it's frozen up about 5 times in the last 6 hours.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
@Zachary57

Normally U just use RSD Lite to flash original ROM (in this case Android 2.1 Eclair for our XT720).. but I don't think you have to do that. What steps did you do exactly??

right now playing fruit ninja with galaxyxtv4, FC after 7 seconds , new record :O
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] IronMit:
it crashed once while swap was enabled today...but disabled its fine. i think maybe my vsel isnt high enough because once swap is enabled you apparently need more power
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Is there no check box to autoload Milestone Overclock on boot in this new ROM? It seems to revert back to 550 from 1000 every time I reboot and I can't see how to get it to stick at 1000.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Grab this oc setting http://db.tt/8vFK8Wg

Copy to SD and 1ghz 56vsel oc will automatically load on boot..btw check box to auto load is on setting..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:
just curious what your vsel was prior to using swap? ive tried 56, 58, 60 and they all seem to crash the phone. my daughter was playing angry birds for 5 min until it turned into angry xt720 lol

GalaxyXT update

Has been running on my phone for 3 days now without a problem. Modest overclock and A2SD cache is operational... Overall, much better performance than the stock XT720 Rom. :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] djkron:
does the galaxy update come with the swap kernal or do u still have to fast boot it?

I ask because I had the red v4 on my phone with the updates and it would always boot loop whenever i restarted the phone. I installed the new kernal with fast boot for the swap and it worked great, but I found out if your battery dies or phone restarts you have to fast boot the new kernal again, its a pain in the butt, because even after i lost the new kernal after the battery died, the phone got stuck in bootloop again and thats a pain i can do without as i usually cant get to my computer when i need to do it lol. catch 22 i know!!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Cesantony:
Well i have 1 day with swap enabled and have 800MHz 50vse, it's stable and i don't have FC like before. Before when i enabled swap my phone crashes after 1 - 2 hours maximum, but now, increasing the vsel, seems much better. Now i going to down to 49 vsel and see what happen.

Hey, is it possible to improve camera, after take a picture (in wide 8Mpixels) i have to wait between 7 - 12 seconds to can take another picture, so anoying and the lower memory when i thake a hd video...

anyway the ROM it's very good and nothing to say when swap is enabled.

How to disable automatic app2ext? I only want to use Link2SD.

I think Link2SD & app2ext destruct each other on my XT720... I just created a "link2sd" folder @ ext3 partition
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
You're right, you should only set your ext partition up for apps2ext OR link2sd. I think you have to get rid of the app folder on the ext. You might want to back up your apps before deleting the app folder ;)

No. If you want to use the swap partition you will have to fastboot every time. With Motorola's locked bootloader there in no way (to the best of my knowledge) to boot a custom kernel from the phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:
i can download most apps from the market but some i.e. angry birds seasons will not download. weird. anyone else have this issue? also has anyone noticed the market cache clears itself after reboot? it does this on my mt4g too so im just curious if this is some new market feature or if theres an app thats causing the system to do this
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] djkron:
thanks string!!!! I appreciate your input, I have been running dexters froyo for a while, i had tried the v4 but found the red hard to read and i have had issues with the boot loop.

Glad to know that I would have to fastboot the phone if i wanted to use swap.

I think I will try to load the galaxy v4 and see how it goes, my biggest issue was my phone would boot loop on the red v4 and wouldnt load unless i removed my sd card. I found this weird as well, flash video playback was terrible on v4 red, I tried watching the daily show with jon stewart on the comedy network.ca using skyfire and it would skip and not play well, surprising when there was more ram available, and dexters never had that issue, plays flawlessly. which is a pain in itself. I think I will try to reformat the sd card and redoo the partitions. If the boot loop and flash stop working properly again after this install i will go back to dexters as the only real problem i have had with his is the camera stopping a capture when memory is low, same as the eclair
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
Is there only a certain version of overclock that works with the new galaxy v4 rom or can i use the current versions from the market?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
If you have Root Explorer look in /mnt/asec for a file(s) with tmp in the middle (e.g. smdl2tmp1.asec) delete those files. Alternately I think if you mount the sdcard to your PC you can look for those file in .android_secure.

HTH

Just done nandroid restore to my phone, v4 galaxy, now i'm stuck at the animation stage and get get pass it, keeps looping, it's been 40mins. :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Hm, I'm pretty confused again..

link2sd says about my ext-partition: FREE 445 MB

but titanium backup says about my ext-partition (I think A2SD means the same like apps2sd, right??): FREE 1,99 MB

and root explorer says about sd-ext: FREE 445 MB

1.I have no such "app" folder in sd-ext !? So what is "A2SD"??:confused:

2.I think I just enabled link2sd, not apps2ext !!

3. And why do I have less than 100 MB internal storage right now? I linked nearly every app to sdcard.. except for 5 or so.. but they aren't bigger than 30 MB altogether?? So I should have ~ 130 MB internal storage??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Depending on what you were running before you may need to Wipe Data / Factory reset & at the least you should wipe the dalvik-cache & the cache partition. To get back into Open Recovery (pull the battery) & when you put it back in & as you turn on the phone hold it the volume up.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] -storm-:
Nvm I got it working already, I went back into stock open recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot. Then it started. Thanks khal, I will test your ROM now :D

I just loaded Kahls GalaxyXTv4 Rom today & had the same issue with maps. I replaced Kahls minfree setting with Mioze7Aes.

:Edit: Don't decompress, just remove the ".zip" extension.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tubekeeper:
HELLO,

The file seems corrupted and can't be decompressed?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Don't decompress, just remove the ".zip" extension.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
how to remove .zip extension? The file is just named 01_minfree without any extensions, so I can't remove anything ? :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No, it's not compressed. Just rename it. He renamed it .zip just so the XDA website would let it upload as an attachment. So use rename to change "01_minfree.zip" to "01_minfree"

galaxyxtv4

Hey, sorry for back-tracking.

How do you apply updates, like the galaxyXTV4.zip. I went to open recovery menu>apply updates>galaxyxtv4>clear davik/partition. but i still have the red theme! So i tried the metamorph app. (it didnt show the other theme miuixt.rar-->do i rename it to miuixt.zip?) so i tried to install the galaxyxtv4 theme and it gives me "The Theme you selected is invalid becuase the theme control file could be missing, or is not correctly written. (contact theme creator)."

how much free ram do you guys have on average? just opening a few programs and im anywhere from 15-40. system panel doesnt show any rogue apps running in the background
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Hm, just 20-30 MB usually with 2 or 3 running applications.. with v3 or so (I don't know anymore) I had at least 50-70 MB (!!!!) everytime..

With Autokiller Memory Optimizer I usually have now ~40 MB..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Oups, I need help here... :(

I have GalaxyXT + latest 01_memfree from this post.

My phone suddenly rebooted and is stuck at Carrier logo if I have the SD card. Without the SD card right at boot time (I plug it in once the start animation kicks in), I can start the phone but again, I have some apps missing.

Furthermore, I cannot get into openrecovery (even after installing it new), I got this "!" panel and a phone with white screen picture.

Bad thing is that I also lost my keyboard input... !

So I am about to flash... I don't see any other options... Any idea ??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
If Open Recovery won't start (hold in the volume up while powering on the phone with the sdcard in) try this.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Thanks, this saved me ! (The whole OpenRecovery folder was gone ?!)

I then wiped Dalvik-cache and cache.

Everything is back again... Except the default keyboard !

I do have Swype installed, but I can no longer select the default keyboard from the settings. Can anyone point me out the stock apk ?

Out of safety I removed latest 01_memfree script provided yesterday.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Howdy...I used to get the same, but saw a recommendation to install auto memory killer. I installed and it works great...no issues with how the phone runs and always a nice free amount of ram available. PLUS...BIG PLUS... to all launcher pro users...there was an update to launcher pro whcih frees up memory and I seen dramatic improvements in memory available (I use system panel to check this) and higher quadrant scores. And personally, launcher pro is the best by far.

Sent from my XT720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I experienced that too- without a keyboard you are completely lost! I installed personaREd just for the hope to get my keyboard back but without luck- I finally went back to the roots and reflashed 2.1 and went on the whole procedure right from the start...:p

Now I have galaxyXT with metamorphframework update and have the mixed theme experience again- red dialer etc. and blue market...

And a bootanimation I hadn't had before- a big human eye which almost scared me the first time so unexpected...:D

Just tried launcherpro, the newer version really consume less memory than ADW. On ADW my ram was on average 38-40mb. Switch to Launcherpro now my ram is on average 55mb-60mb. Running V4 galaxy rom
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That's great to hear. I'd been using LauncherPro for a long time, but finally switched to ADW because Khal and Xav were having such better luck keeping memory use under control using ADW. Now maybe its time to go home ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:
I may try out zeam launcher since I hear its so light on resources. I'm so used to the speed of my mytouch 4g its hard for me to use the milestone, at least the way I want to. Tried v4 and Dexter's 1.3 but they just seem to bring the xt to a crawl, even if I'm overclocked
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Opposite with me which I can running without overclock with swap smoothly and can lasting me more than 3 days without reboot ....:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
hmmm when I want to move the 01_minfree file to /system/etc/init.d/ I get an error: "Warning ! You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only"?

I copied the 01_minfree file to sdcard and then went into root explorer and tried to move the file.:confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Did you mount /system Read/Write (there's a button at the top in root explorer to do that)?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Nope I forgot :D Thx! In Root Explorer there is at the directory a folder "etc". in this folder there is also a "init.d" folder..

so is there any difference between /system/etc/init.d and /etc/init.d (<---- without first going to /system) ???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Putting it in /system/etc/init.d will definitely work (that's what I would do). I think /etc is just a symlink to /system/etc so that would probably work, too.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
Would copying over the default keyboard.apk solve my issue ? IF so, can anyone provide to me this apk ?
