internet issues v4

Hi guys, I've tried the v4 galaxyXT version, but I noticed that wifi doesn't work, as also reverendkjr did. I reflashed the red v4 - applying the galaxy theme :) - and now everything works, except for the 3g connection that looks a bit slow. Anyone experiencing the same issues or knowing a possible solution for one of them? :confused:

Btw, thanks to everybody that helped me to figure out how to apply correctly app2sd, the solution was to leave the dalvik cache in the internal memory and not to move it on the ext3 partition of the sd card as I did in my first attempts (consequence: bootloops :eek:).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] qnguyen88:
Sorry if the question has been already asked but I'd like to know if someone can give me the procedure to install this ROM ? Thank you

Edit : Nevermind. I already found out.

Edit2 : I have downloaded the GalaxyXTV4 ROM and I have followed the instructions on this page to install the ROM but at the 8th step, after I click on "Restore" there is nothing whereas there has to be the ROM I want to install. Can someone help me please ? Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
Did you decompress the downloaded rom folder? Full nandroid images have to be decompressed before putting them into the nandroid/open recovery folder... whereas updates and patches which belong into the open recovery/updates folder have to stay compressed!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
in the root of the sd card create the following path:

nandroid/openrecovery/

and copy inside openrecovery the extracted files of the ROM, so the final path will be:

nandroid/openrecovery/GalaxyXTV4/

and inside you have the 4 files of the ROM (boot, system...)

now you should find them to restore (8th step of the procedure you posted)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] qnguyen88:
Now that I have installed the ROM (thanks khalpowers), I have a little problem : the calendar widget has a white background and the appointments are displayed in white whereas in the stock rom, the appointments are displayed in black. Now I can't see my appointments (well I have to look closer at the screen to see something but not that much). Does anyone have this problem ?

I'm sorry I'm repeating myself, but when i flashed the galaxyXT v4 rom the wifi didn't work (and if I'm not wrong this happened to somebody else too)...how can i solve this problem?

Little question : why can't I find YouTube on the Android Market ? I know there is YouTube on the ROM but I'd like to have YouTube on my list of downloaded apps so I can update the application in the future.

So I've had the GalaxyXT install for about a day now and everytime I power off my phone and turn it on, it'll show the white Motorola logo and the phone will shut itself off. The only way I can boot back into the android OS is by going into openrecovery and rebooting from there. How can I fix this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That's weird. Have you tried wiping cache in openrecovery (not just wipe dalvik cache, the other wipe cache option). Also, have you applied any themes or updates?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I had the same problem, I tried to wipe dalvik cache and to clear cache partition but there were still the same problem. Phone freeze at boot logo and sometimes turn it off after a long time. To correct the problem, I had to flash back to stock 2.1.

So, it will be great to fix this bug.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
i had a similar problem i believe....

Do you have a dalvik-cache folder in your ext* partition?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
I had exactly the same problem because i tried to move dalvik-cache and apps to the ext partition on the sd card..when i deleted the dalvik-cache folder (that automatically went back to the internal memory) everything worked fine...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
Yeah, I have applied the GalaxyXT theme, but this problem existed even before I applied this theme. I also have Apps2SD going on from 2.1, so I'm guessing I have a dalvik-cache folder in my ext partition?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Khal's ROMs have had a bug with /sd-ext/dalvik-cache for a while (See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12292341&postcount=21 on page 3 for more details). It's because my /system/etc/init.c/10_sdext and his /system/etc/init.d/02memhack are trying to do the same thing, but the 02memhack doesn't understand /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. My advice (which should be taken with a grain of salt because I haven't run Khal's ROM lately so I haven't tested it) is to delete /system/etc/init.d/02memhack. Everything init.d/02memhack does is already done by init.c/10_sdext

You're right M

I like my set up like this i think its the fastest and most stable.

1. dalvik-cache on internal

2. app on sd-ext

3. app-private on sd

Best i find :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
I've also found my phone to chug a LOT more than it used to when it was on 2.1. So if I delete /system/etc/init.d/02memhack, it should be smoother as well? (Quadrant score is only about 1056 right now)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
why u all guys like to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext??..i dont get what the advantage when u move dalvik cache to sd-ext ..free up space??..ermm...actually already move dalvik cache from system to data....that can free up internal storage space already.

anyway for those want dalvik-cache folder inside sd-ext then just delete/remove 02memhack @/system/etc/init.d ..reboot.

for my stable system i'll only create app folder inside sd-ext..never hv problem at all..:)

my advise for those running my rom don't remove dalvik-cache to sd-ext..just leave it @\data then you can get the fully optimize interms of speeds and stability.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The only reason to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext is because /cache is full.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
with 100++ over apps its enough and still hv 10++ MB free space on /data/dalvik-cache..

What I want is responsive phone..:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
K,

I love that dalvik moves to cache but i run out of space after a while

I think im an app hoarder :-p
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
My dalvik-cache is currently 80mb with only 50 apps installed. When it's on /cache (partition size is 101.2mb) market seems to have trouble with failed downloads and installs--if I move it to /sd-ext then market starts working again. /data only has 55mb free so that's not an option either. I suppose the system@ dalvik-cache could be put on /data and the data@ cache on /cache somehow by the boot scripts. That might work to free a few MB from /cache, but it's risky. I don't recommend everyone move dalvik-cache to sd-ext, but sometimes you have no choice.

Proximity sensor not working

Khal Power is very good, but i fail to understand , when the korean version is having the proximity sensor working , why are the other roms not having the proximity sensor work???????????

If i receive a call and hold the phone near my ear the phone display has to turn off and if i move away it has to light.It does not work on either Dexters or Khal's Roms. There roms are supperb , but lag this feature and i feel many agree with me on this only issue.

Hope the developers look into this and provide us with some solution :confused::confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The sensors in the Motoroi XT720 and Milestone XT720 are different and seem to be incompatible. The Milestone XT720 sensor drivers don't work on Motoroi XT720 (and vice versa).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
first- there is absolutely no need for 10 question marks! Thats quite unpolite!

Second- you may noticed that motorola did not give us an official froyo update for the european xt720 and that we just have froyo because some gifted guys adapted the motoroi froyo update to the xt720.

But the korean motoroi is not the xt720

- they are different in some parts- otherwise we just had to put the korean froyo update to our xt720s... so there are some things still not working- and they might will never work- unbelievable but true!

Khalpower and the others do there best- but thats not there job and they don't get paid for it- so we should be thankful for what we get!

I have made a big decision...

I have decided to remove all of the partitions on my card and only have a fat32. No ext3, no swap, no nothing.

This has proven to give me better battery (only slightly) and it seems to be handing the camera a bit better/faster.

Any thoughts?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
That's what I do. Every time I've tried the ext partition every thing is OK for a week or two & then I start having miscellaneous problems that reformatting the SD seems to solve. I just had to cut back on my hoarding of apps so I don't run out of space on the cache partition.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
Does moving Apps to SD a la 2.2 work well enough to remove the partitions?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
The apps might start a little slower but other than that I haven't had any problems. I'm not a big gamer tho, Angry Birds and Backbreaker football are the only big games I've tried.

Today I gave up with this phone...

For playing around, tweaking, learning about android, this phone is great- but for the rest...

Every time I needed to do a really quick call it lagged like hell, same with the camera.. and today I really needed navigation- I nearly got lost and finally got really late to my appointment because the phone crashed twenty times in one hour because of navigation!!!! Neither google navigation nor navigon works- it was close to throwing the phone into the next thrash...

Just for text messages and playing jewels I really don't need an expensive phone like this..

when installing from adb.

It's Guerilla Bob and HexDefense. On V3 it installed perfectly, but now I'm on V4, and I use the same apk's which I successfully installed on V3.

Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I don't have any of those issues (well maybe with camera). For the most part everything runs very quick, I only run into issues if I have a large number of apps left open. I can make a call in a second and I love the phone except for the memory. I have had issues with the camera app often enough though. But I don't have the other issues you have. :shrug:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
If I wanted to start the latest revision from scratch and remove my ext partition (probably by formatting the SD right?) how would I go about doing all this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
Go into gparted in linux, remove ALL partitions, and then jsut create one big FAT32 partition. That's what I did, and I'm loving it. As far as people who are having slowness, I think it must be something else, because I have never experienced anything like that except when the apps are on the card. No matter what we do to our phones, the internal memory should never change speed.

Are people really installing 100+ apps on their phones? I can't even name 100 apps.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I really have just 38 user apps- I don't think that should be a problem...I have an ext3 partition and a class 6 kingston card- I just reformatted the card and checked it for errors- nothing.

Maybe my problems are caused by hardware for example, even though I handle my phones with care, but the phone always has average to really slow speed and navigation is not possible. (I use navigon, just to mention, but google navigation also crashed...)

I will try to remove my ext3 partition as last option- but I guess the navigation problem just can be caused by the low ram, don't you think?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
My phone is finally flying... :D

Whenever an application has a library, I link both the apk and lib to the ext3. I do not link the Dalvik-cache.

With about 30 apps, I now have available: about 115MB of internal mem and 60MB+ of RAM at startup

I oc to 1.2GHz and set governor to interactive.

Battery is alright.

I am missing a simple apps that would switch between 2G and 3G depending on the quantity/rate of data sent/receive.

Other than that, I can hardly make any reboot without having to wipe Dalvik cache for some reasons, and ADW usually crashes once at startup, then the phone is brilliant for some days ... :confused:

Of course, no luck with the camera, hopeless.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
same here, I'll nv move dalvik to ext sd its simply laggy, i will only move dalvik to cache. actually I am still running the old dexter 1.1, which I find is still the most responsive of all rom. 1.3 always takes a few sec to "think" before it decided to response to my request to start any app.

Am i missing anything here?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
guys..

I also want to delete my ext3-partition.. my phone is so laggy (nearly 40 seconds after startup to show every app at home screen :() and crashes pretty often.. I also have very much problems with all those apps2sd/link2sd/app2ext things!

So I decide not to use link2sd anymore because it's causing too many problems with dalvik-cache for example.

But at the moment I don't know whether

1. I should ONLY try using app2ext with ext3 partition <- I would prefer this way because many of my apps can't be moved to sd by using native froyo-apps2sd , BUT I don't want all my apps to go to ext3 partition.. for example apps starting automatically at boot

or

2. create only one fat32 partition and use native froyo-apps2sd.. <- but my problem is that many of my apps can't be moved to sd with native froyo apps2-sd.

:confused::confused::confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Move2SD Enabler (root only) will allow you to move non system apps with the native froyo apps2sd feature. Normal rules still apply, don't move apps you need or widgets & if you have your phone connected in mass storage mode the apps on the sd are not available.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Thank you very much, I'm gonna give it a try!

What option do you use?

Apps2ext?

native froyo apps2sd?

link2sd?

or nothing ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
How much free space do you have on /data and /cache? How big is your /sd-ext/app directory? The memhack (moving dalvik-cache to /cache) really helps use the internal memory much more efficiently. Internal memory is the good stuff--you want to maximize its use, but too full is a problem.

Worksheet:

1. Size of /sd-ext/app:

2. Size of /sd-ext/dalvik-cache:

3. Size of /sd-ext/link2sd/app:

4. Size of /sd-ext/link2sd/dalvik-cache:

5. Free space on /data:

6. Free space on /cache:

If you don't have some of these directories, use 0mb for that value.

7. Compute: #5-#1-#3 <== free space on /data after disabling /sd-ext

8. Compute: #6-#2-#4 <== free space on /cache after disabling /sd-ext

If #7 < 40mb think about deleting apps

If #8 < 10mb think about deleting apps

Otherwise:

Use root explorer or similar (or adb--safest is adb from recovery but be aware that /sd-ext shows up as /sddata in recovery) to rename /sd-ext/app, /sd-ext/link2sd, and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache to /sd-ext/app.bak, /sd-ext/link2sd.bak and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache.bak

Reboot. The boot scripts will disable /sd-ext/ because the directories will be gone.

When the system comes up again, use root explorer etc to copy the apks from /sd-ext/app/ (or /sd-ext/link2sd/app) to /data/app.

Reboot to OR and choose wipe the cache partition and reboot.

The /sd-ext partition doesn't do any harm if it's not used.

You can go straight to Khals v4. I've never had to go back to stock 2.1. I would just format the sdcard, copy the desired rom to the nandroid/openrecovery/ folder, copy the open recovery files from ModMyMobile to the sdcard (or you could probably mount the sdcard back to phone & go into the system recovery app & select the install option) reboot into recovery & nandroid restore all then wipe data, dalvik & the cache partition.
