in call volume

Guess I have to start all over again. My in call volume is very low on my end and nobody can hear me on their end. Also have had a few reboots.

hey alex, i asked the same question about 1 week ago in the same thread. here's the solution that fjfalcon provided

adb shell(or terminal emulator on phone)

su;

busybox swapon /dev/block/mmcblkN;

where N is number of swap partition on flash disk.

thing is, i don't know what's he's talking about =( anyone can enlighten me on this? how to use that command? isit on command prompt?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Cant rmb the exact commands. but you can try using command prompt to go into program files->android->android-sdk->platform-tools

then try:

adb -d shell

wow i finally managed to get my xt720 fast & stable.:)

1ghz @ 66vsel

with 1ghz @ 60vsel nearly everything crashes after a while and when i reduced the vsel my xt720 got bootloop
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I rebooted into recovery and factory reset and wiped, then restored SteelepicblueXTv4 then did another factory reset and wiped. Then did Reverendkjr's method, clicked reboot then pulled battery. Took sdcard out and with puppy linux deleted all of my partitions, made just one fat32 partition then unmounted and formatted sdcard with windows. Went back to puppy linux and deleted the fat32 and then made ext3 -500 swap -513 and the rest fat32. Everything seems good now. I think most of my problems are sdcard related. I only have the stock class 2. Hopefully this fixes it if not I will be getting a better sdcard.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SilverKeiser:
Good ROM

I am running Galaxy XT4 on my XT720. 1Ghz overclock and about 5.8V on the CPU. Very stable and I get up to 48 hours on the battery with moderate use. I like this modded phone better then some of the newer ones with the locked bootloaders that are difficult to crack. Save your $$$ and get an XT720... then put the KP ROM on it.

One thing that I have noticed is that Titanium BU misreports the A2SD or (Ext3) cache size & usage. Other memory minder apps will tell the true size and usage. I wrote to TBU about this and they never answered...

Thumbs Up! Khal Powers

How to check my CPU voltage?

And one more question: How long you are able to watch movies with one charge? When I start watching film with full battety, at the end of the movie my battery is like 20-30%. I watch it at 100% brightnes but still battery doctor tell me that I can watch 4+h, but it's 2h more likelly.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I'm using stock class 2 SD card (no swap) and my only issues are with camera application sometimes, other than that everything runs perfectly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spectacle:
Just a humble suggestion: There seems to be a quick reboot function in link2sd. I realised that whenever i used it, the ffjfalcon's kernel remains in the phone. Hence not requiring a computer whenever the user feels like rebooting. Anyway to integrate this function into the power menu? :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:
Hi 3rdstring, i couldnt get to download from market (after download, it automatically closes without installing...).

but tried the following:

1. charged to 100%

2. deleted batterystats.bin file from /system folder..

3. discharged the battery completely till it shuts off.. (had to wait few hours !!)

4. immediately start charging till it is 100%.

Now, let me try if the blank screen issue appears..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:
Hello vari9,

if i install juice defender, i am not able to use my security lock which is required for corporate email connection.. so many other apps like mobo player, elixir are also affect the security lock..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nders:
wow nice find there. now i don't need to hard reboot from time to time :D

btw just to share, if anyone having random bootloops when starting phone (I did, for i-donno-what reason, IRQ 25 conflict or something), just take off the xt's battery lid while booting... then it will boot successfully. kinda weird ey. lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
anyone getting reboot when you plug out the memory card access usb connection? BlueSteel rom btw.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:
Hello mioze7e, 3rdstring.. the issue still exists.. but i was able to copy large files few times. and 4th time, it got stuck..

In my opinion this issue is to do more with "sd card not being read, or errors while reading".

1. After this blackout issue, i didnt take out sd card, and removed battery and rebooted. After booting, "checking sd card for errors" message didnt go even after 5 mins.. and the device black screened few mins later. Then i took out sd card.

2. I fixed sd card errors from winXP-sdcardreader.. and then put it back .. no issues so far but havent done any sd card transfers ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I agree. I just have ran into alot of trouble getting everything right, having to reflash different ways. Sometimes get bootloop and reboots but after I finally get it my phone runs perfectly. I think all the issues I have are due to the sdcard not reading and writing correctly all the time. It even takes windows and linux a few tries sometimes to read my card. But once I get a new rom restored right I run smooth. I just wonder if getting a higher class sdcard would solve alot of that. I've never had the privilege of having a "high class" card lol. I am using swap 513mb and have been really stable and seem to be stable now with the steelepicblueXT V4 just had a lot of issues getting it right.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Cesantony:
Hi guys... well i just wnat some help, i think i damage my phone, i tried to make the partitions (ext3, swap and fat32) but i think my error was do it with the SDcard inside of the phone :S. Now i have the red eye and nothing else, i want to use the open recovery using the power button + the vol up button but i just can see the triangle... i just removed the card and try again and i couldn't do nothing... what can i do? or i just bticked my phone?

Thanks guys.

Hi all,

Is it true that if we use any other custom ROM (exept the original that cames with x720) xenon flash does not work?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Xenon works. The one that dun work are the led lights and camera button. You can start camera by holding the shuttle key for 2 secs though.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Repartition it again i guess. then paste openrecovery folder+openrecovery.zip into the fat32 partition and try recovery again.

My LED lights work fine...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
No problems with the LEDs for me either. Occasionally on a reboot I might have to cycle the brightness settings (via the widget) or turn off / on the screen once.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spectacle:
I got an interesting discovery to share. Hope it helps. As you know the transfer speed of the files whilst it is in USB mode is really slow. However, when I tried using the phone while transferring stuff, I realised that the speed increases, quite significantly in fact. Any explanations to this phenomenon? Or is it just silly me that is encountering this :p

Same. Apps load pretty much instantaneously for me and I don't have issues with RAM (unless using very intensive apps). Everything is just smooth smooth smooth, very fast and without issues. Even camera/camcorder hasn't given me any issues for a while (actually no issues at all since trying steel epic blue V4...). Extremely happy with this ROM and looking forward to MIUI if that happens... :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eSu.Matix:
Sometimes when I use AdvanceTaskKiller, even tho I'm not a big fan of it. I get between 60-80MB of free ram. And if I let all process running it's still 45-50 free ram which is more than enough for not hevy RAM programs and smooth work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
hmm, i mean led notifications for new messages.. it works?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
That reminds me, I've found that while using the built in task killer I can see more RAM available - my actual user experience is much faster if I just totally ignore task killing and number of RAM I have. I stopped using the task killer last week and my phone has been running much more fluidly and faster. I think opening and closing apps consumes more resources than simply keeping apps open maybe...

@Khankuan: Did it ever? :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Hmm, they were all saying it works :S im using steel blue now and decided will stick to it even with disappointing battery :P

Can anyone confirm if this will work with the Korean XT720 or not ? Used with Korean carrier. Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Hmm, anyone knows how to reformat SD card after restoring SteelBlue rom? I tried partitioning to 6.9gb fat, 512 ext2/ext3, 128 linux swap. But whenever i have ext2/ext3 formatted and inserted, it says "removed sdcard". Any solution for this?

Thanks a lot!! ;)

Solved: formatted with gpart instead.

However, is it possible to check if the ext3 and swap partitions are actually working? Cos the android system files are still created on the fat32 partition..

Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Well, I can't "confirm" it in the sense of having tried it, but I do know the Korean ROMs have at least small problems on XT720 (sensors etc).

If you want to learn more about what may be different, I recommend reading the early parts of Dexter's porting thread. He initially started by porting the Motoroi 2.2, but switched to the leaked Milestone ROM later.

They fail to download for me, this was fine in V3.

I know I haven't been getting as many as I normally did and when I do they mostly fail to download. It says downloading then freezes. Seems after redoing it all and partitioning Reverendkjr's way I think I finally have it all worked out. Not so sure yet if I'm still having issues with mms.

Services Draining RAM

Hi guys, I'd like to know if it's possible and convenient to uninstall some (and which) of the following services that are always running in my phone. I mean, what's their use (except for consuming RAM :))?

Calendar Storage

com.android.providers.applications

com.android.providers.userdictionary

com.motorola.android.extdispservice

com.motorola.thumbnailservice

contacts storage

dialler storage

Google Services Framework

Media Storage

Settings Storage

usb

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
All of these roms suffer from incomplete support, sensors misbehaving, bad compass performance, slow loading and CTD on games etc.

I ended up reflashing Central europe and installing 2.2 JIT, phone is 10x faster and all my games work. Angry birds load way faster than on the iphone 4 for instance, was tied with Khalpowers.

Motorola probably decided not to release 2.2 because the SD card interface is too slow, and there isn't enough ram.

Edit: Also, with 2.2 I don't have A-gps, only "Use wireless networks" Which isn't the same thing, A-GPS doesn't require me to upload data to google.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] exist2resist:
Could you direct me to the downloads for that. Or the links, would much appreciate it bud.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
b.u.l.l. s.h.i.t. It may well be faster, but there's zero chance in hell it's an order of magnitude faster.

This is where I downloaded a script to install JIT:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...-guide-milestone-xt720-apps2sd-froyo-jit.html

Only run the JIT and Busybox installer, for max performance.

apps2sd is the main reason this phone becomes slow with 2.2.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
While it's true benchmarks like Quadrant doesn't show any relevant difference..

I still load my contacs in milliseconds instead of waiting 2-3 seconds...

Messaging, phone, contacs and the launcher is that much faster, no more 3 second lag while smart keyboard loads the dictionary while browsing etc, probably more because background services unload more often in 2.2.

...And so forth and so on etc.

I don't have a 3 second delay for contacts, phone, or messaging. Probably you mis-configured or mis-tweaked your 2.2. That's more a reflection of your tuning skills than the capabilities of the ROM. Sure, the defaults may have different performance, but comparing a mis-configured 2.2 with a well-tweaked 2.1 is off the mark.

How to improve the v4 rom

Hi Mioze7Ae, what are your main suggestions to tweak the v4 ROM in the best way (that is, to make it more stable and quick)? Native Apps2SD, Link2SD, app folder in ext3 partition...what's the best solution in terms of efficiency, battery life and so on?

One last question..i'm looking for an app that can automatically kill apps..but all the ones i tried so far (advanced task manager/killer, automatic task killer,...) don't actually close the apps (compatibility issues?)...do you guys know one app that actually works to increase the available RAM? And how to prevent some services (as the market one) to run at startup? Is Google Services Framework and usb services always necessary?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Actually, the tweaks I use now days are very minimal (at least compared to what I used to do ;) ).

I avoid the task killers and instead I tweak the AndroidOS minfree parameters. My understanding is the task killers often result in battery drain and performance problems because they can get into turf battles with the OS. Happily the OS is actually designed to do this well on it's own, but it needs some tweaking. The OS memory management is managed by the "minfree" parameters. There are a number of apps in the market for adjusting the parameters, I personally like Autokiller Memory Optimizer. It works very well to increase your free memory. Don't over do it, though. I try to target around 40MB free--much more free memory than that seems to cause lags when background services have to be restarted and much less than that and you get lags due to garbage collection.

I also delete OpenRecovery.apk and WorldClockWidget.apk (I think khalpowers already gets rid of WorldClockWidget) from system because they seem to be misbehaving. In any case, OpenRecovery.apk isn't needed now that we have the extended power menu. I use ADW Launcher (EX) because it seems to use the least memory.

I also use the froyo tweaking menu of Androidani Recovery to zipalign and to set the VM memory to 40Mb (I go back and fourth between 40Mb and 48Mb--I haven't settled on an optimal value yet)

I don't use any ext partitions anymore and I don't use the swap kernel. I keep an eye on my /cache partition to make sure I have about 15-20mb free there. If I run out of space on /cache, I start deleting apps I don't use anymore. I use OpenRecovery to wipe my /cache partition once every few weeks and rebuild dalvik-cache.

For improving battery live, I find that JuiceDefender works very well.

It's not perfect, but it's at better than my old tweaked 2.1 with the same number of apps installed.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
+10...:cool:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Hi Mioze7Ae, thanks for sharing your tips. Just curious, how long can you battery last with every 10% of the battery during sleep mode? Thanks a lot! ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Generally, I get by with intermittent charging while I'm at work. Before I started using JuiceDefender I would also have to charge or power-off every evening or it would be dead in the morning. It's usually 70%-90% when I wake up now depending on use. After playing with the JuiceDefender settings a bit my feeling is that if I'm not actively using the phone, the battery won't drain much, but I don't have any hard measurements. I don't live in fear of the battery draining, though. I'll see if I can measure more precisely how much it drains in hibernation overnight tonight. I think one of JuiceDefender's biggest tricks is shutting off the wifi scan after 1min if there was no successful connect rather than scanning for eons. Before I started using JuiceDefender I definitely needed to charge daily, but I think I can skip a day with moderate use and maybe two with light use. I forgot my phone at home one day and it was still 75% when I got home. It is a very noticeable change since prior to that it wouldn't last through the night. (I also don't overclock, governors or setcpu anymore and just let the US kernel run with its defaults. I know, I've become quite boring)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Just a couple cents, not *****ing lol

When I first installed the first version of Khalpowers V4 I was amazed at my signal strength. It was rockin 3g to 4g back and forth in my home and I had never seen 4g in here before, and barely 3g. It was always edge with like 2 bars. I really don't remember seeing 4g at all. But now since the final steelepicblueXT it seems it's went back to Edge in between 90-100. I know cinci bell is awful but I sure did enjoy the 4g. I wonder what happened?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ndempist:
xt only support 2g and 3g AFAIK :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Like I said I was amazed to see 4g, and in my house. It was flashing 4g pretty constant outside. I'm not making it up lol. when I first flashed the first V4 i was getting the best signal I ever had. I might try to flash it again see if it happens again and I will take a screenshot! lol. I don't know much but I'm sure there isn't much difference in original V4 and steelepicblueXT.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
There is no 4g radio in the xt720. Are you sure you weren't seeing an H?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I am absolutely positive it said 4g. It flashed from 3g to 4g and stayed steady on 3g. I hardly ever even got 3g in my house before.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
It was either the first V4 with personared or it was the KhalV3optimized V4update right before that. It says it has a network speed tweak. Not sure what that is but it was one of the two. I have been flashing all of them and been playing with it all pretty intensely so I am positive of the 4g.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Maybe the icon pack/theme/morph displays H as "4g"?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Mybe that could be it. I had full bars as well and right now I'm showing 1-3 bars on edge. I don't know much like I said but have learned a lot thanks to you all and this site but I had 4g in my home and was so amazed I sent texts to my friends with XT's to tell them all about it lol. I wasn't able to post here yet then but wanted to. I just got a replacement phone but my original still works so before I activate my new one I'm gonna try to flash the Xtmiuioptimized with v4update and the original personaredV4 and see if I get it again. It was around that time
