Hey dudes...

I been reading this post and see people are getting disappointed with their handsets...which to me is sad..cos I don't want anyone to get that frustrated with it...we all spent a fair bit of time helping each other out and its been fun.

I don't know what each of your expectations are for response etc...my handset seems to be running fine and I am really happy with camera speed since the last few tweaks and I have no really bad app lag (nothing more than ever experienced on 2.1) or concern about dalvik cache.

I hope this sumary may help:

I am running dexters 1.3 with mio's patches and khals camera speed patch.

I overclock to 970 and 58 vsel.

Got a class 4 Kingston 16 gb.

I got that with 500 ext2 partition (u guys all use ext3 right? Which means journal logging?)

190 mb so far is used of that for apps and dalvik cache(I use links2sd)

I got 110mb free on data partition and 60mb free on cache (I clean this one up every now and then after market updates)

I use home launcher pro with custom settings for optimization

And I use autokiller memory optimizer with some advanced system tweaks.

I can run angry birds for hours with no fault...it does freeze on me every blue moon...but nothing that worries me...I just got through all of angry birds 1 (7 episodes...30-40 stages in each) and only had a handful of freezes.

My camera speed and video recording are the best I have had...I remember one night I took photos inside a house at night and compared them to a.Nokia n8 (standing from same position) and I was left happy. Yay. The time it takes for options immediately after a photo takes around 7 seconds which can be annoying.

I hpe this setup info helps some u guys out...especially ronnbon..as he is the man who got the whole Dexter project up and running, so it saddened me to hear your frustrations the other day.

thats very kind from you and I will try your instructions the next days.

I hope you and others are not to appalled but I am female... ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
LOL...makes sense now. Takes a female to put a plan into action, whilst the boys with their toys just dream on. ;)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What differences to you notice with the camera patch? Is it a speed increase? What I remember was that the HD framerate was supposed to be faster with the patch. I tried it briefly but didn't notice any difference. The reality of the hardware video encoders is that the framerate is always variable and the actual framerate depends on how bright the object you are filming is, so it's quite hard to quantify and compare. (Mix in the fact that so far as we were able to tell only Windows was able to report the actual average framerate correctly rather than the container's nominal framerate). Or something like that. It's quite confusing and there are so many moving variables.

Also, with the camera patch can you record and play back in all resolutions? That's how we picked the ones that are in Dexter's 1.3. It was the only one that worked at all resolutions for record and playback in both 3D Gallery and Gallery. Currently I'm thinking the Motoroi dsp libraries are the correct ones to use (those may be in the camera patch, I haven't checked). In 2.1 XT720 had the same libraries as Motoroi 2.1 and Milestone 2.1 had different libraries. So I'm thinking Motoroi libraries are a better hardware match, but I don't know if there is a problem with the framework or something. Dexter tried that eariler and there were problems...

Looks like formatting my SD and restoring the GalaxyXT rom worked. My phone's much, much faster now.. UI-wise. Games... not so much.

Swap Update

Khal, i hope you will add it soon.

Updates swap settings and phone with swap comes more stable and stops any freezes and reboots.

Hope will help =)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
just added on the front page...tq fj..

Installation aborted

Hi Khal, I just tried to install your last SteelEpicBlueXT theme...result: "Installation aborted"...I applied it as i did with all the others, but this time it didn't work. I see that only the system folder is inside the .zip file. Is it possible that the META one is necessary? If not, how to solve this problem? Thank you! :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
opsss..yeaa you rite..missing the meta folder..just copy the meta folder from the last theme..here the new one http://www.multiupload.com/PDAOFQOCI7
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
I tried to upload the file with the META folder copied by the SilverBlueXT theme but it looks like the size is too big to upload it in the forum as an attachment...I just wanted to help you in the only thing I probably can (adding data to a zip file lol), but no success! :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Unloking appearance

How did you manage to have the mobile unloking like the one in the first screenshot?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ghostboy:
Khal, I want to know can I apply this theme even though the system of my phone only have 2.95mb left? Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Very nice :)

Just a few things

The power menu is missing colors for reboot and recovery.

The initial settings menu is missing some colors.

But besides that it;s very sweet thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Cesantony:
Hi, hey someone can help me? Well i just wanted install the steelepicbluext theme to my xt720, i put the zip in the openrecovery/updates, apply the update, clear dalvik cache and cache partion then reboot and nothing happened, what i'm doing wrong? i have to delete some files or what?

Well thanks for your help.

Saludos
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Ah, awesome Khal, you did it! Thought you might have changed your mind :p
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
This Metamorph should (might) fix the reboot / recovery icons. Please note that I haven't had a chance to try it yet so try it at your own risk:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Okay...followed instructions, nothing happened... hmm

EDIT okay, half my icons are themed in steel blue style, but the other half are like the old GalaxyXTV4 and nothing else changed...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
Is there any way for me to change the marketing app? It's still the red and black Persona market app with white buttons. I find it really ugly and it hasn't changed from when I updated to GalaxyXT and this steel theme.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Delete com.fede.launcher if you want to use launcher pro from new theme..then you can straight apply..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Tried to put on again and still same issue, same "Droid does" boot animation, same notification bar, same everything except some icons and some apps are steel blue themed. Help? Why did I only get half a theme?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Your system app is not enough space..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Okay... how do I get more space?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Delete vending.apk before apply new theme ....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
U can delete com.federal.launcher,adw launcher,Facebook,tweeter,tweetdeck,todaybriefing widget..then reapply the theme.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Er sorry but... how do I delete those lol?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Can delete through root explorer..go to /system/app and /data/dalvik-cache.. mount ro 1st before delete..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Or Titanium Backup
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Just put on Super Manager which is free root explorer. Browsed but only managed to find twitter, Adw launcher, today briefing, facebook, but not other ones. Deleted today briefing. Should I delete adw launcher, facebook, twitter and then try to update again? Or am I doing something wrong.

EDIT: Okay, nvm Today briefing is still there...

Think I'm just gonna reflash Galaxy XTV4. This is too complicated for me...

Too much work for just a theme. And with news on the horizon from either CM7, MIUI, or official XT720 update I'm likely going to be doing some sort of flashing that would make the theme irrelevant soon anyways... (at least I hope one of those 3 happens soon :) )

guys i wanted to play angry birds on tv.

please guide me through.I used real hdmi but when i start angry birds real hdmi stops mirroring my phone on the tv.

Please help!

plzzz.........

even youtube videos start up then they run on my phone instead of my tv!

plzz..help

i have v4 galaxyXT version installed.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
I've found a solution to the very little free ram-issue:

Requires a total factory reset, but worth it for me.

It unloaded apps non stop, making it very slow

I flashed Central Europe firmware, making it sparkly clean.

Did all the rooting, installed system recovery.

I used recovery mode to install dexter's 1.3

And without rebooting, install khalpowers v4 + theme

Wiped cache, dalvik and made a factory reset.

Now click reboot, phone finally has 50+ free ram always.

I believe this fixes a memory leak, it won't free more ram if you run lots of widgets etc obviously
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
You need to use real HDMI version 1.0.6 ..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Leotronick:
Hi Folks,

is there something you can recommend me to do to stop my phone rebooting all the time.

I went from Dexter 1.3 rom to this one.

I reformated my sd-ext and created an folder "app".

I restored Nandroid image and did factory reset/wipe data.

After that the phone booted without errors, but after about 5 mins running there alway comes a reboot. one after a nother.

Can someone help?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] vari9:
thank you for your reply khalpowers.I used real hdmi 1.0.6 but the game only appears in a small part of my lcd.Could you help me with that?

plz....

Thanks in advance!

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] earthsword:
hi! i'm having some problems with khal's galaxy xt. when i tried to do a fastboot on the kernel, the set cpu still shows 0 for the swap cache. My linux-swap partition is 87 mb. is there any solution?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
adb shell(or terminal emulator on phone)

su;

busybox swapon /dev/block/mmcblkN;

where N is number of swap partition on flash disk.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
hmm, does anyone know if it is ok to force stop system recovery?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
uninstall it :))

in khal's v4 roms recovery is already included
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
hey guys,

small problem...after having applied the epic theme nothing happened...why in your opinion?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] vari9:
hey,

whenever i install the fastboot my phone just hangs then i have to pull my battery off then restart the device.

So the kernel becomes the same.

I'm using galaxy xt v4.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tubekeeper:
I got the similar problem hope somebody can comment how to solve it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gera_nium:
what do you mean 'hangs'? is it within 10-15 secs after fastboot its 'hangs'? its normal for phone to have 'extra time' after booting to make it stable....i use this 'http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9404058/fjfalcon_xt720_boot.7z' boot .img...everything is fine
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I am using the galaxy rom now and cannot morph the status bar itself and some icons again...:(

Of course I applied the metamorphframework update... Mioze7Ae...???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Hows everyone's battery doing after installing khals v4? Mine seems to be bad even though i did not overclock much and did undervolting as well. Do not have much apps besides the built in one. Low usage seems to drain 10% of the battery every 3-6 hours compared to 8 hours on original rom. Any thoughts/suggestions on this?

Thanks! ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I have no problem with the battery. But also not a suggestion for you, sorry.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
delete todaybriefingwidget.apk from your \system\app ..then re apply the metamorph ..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
thank you- that worked! :)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
Guys, please help.

I'm using GalaxyXT V4 and can't install Guerilla Bob, HexDefense, and many other apps.

From adb the error is

INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR

From root explorer the error is

"Application not installed"

From the market the error is

"Can't install to USB or SD Card"

Please help
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I have this issue with some apps (generally only happens with games) since going to 2.2. Simple fix is to just unmount SD card, then install the app and then remount SD card after it's installed. Not a lot of trouble to do so it doesn't really bother me. That should work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
Thanks a lot.

I've search for this solution but can't find it :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] vari9:
A permanent solution to your problem is

1. Connect your device to the computer via USB

2. Choose memory card access

3. Go to the .android_secure folder and delete the smdl2tmp1.asec file

4. Unmount the device and try to install the game

This worked for me....hope it does for you also!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Can someone give me a quick little run through on enabling swap? I know pretty much nothing about it -except that it supposedly gives me more RAM and makes things smoother (which I obviously want :p).

Currently running GalaxyXTV4 with no updates.

So the little knowledge I have I'll give and hopefully someone can fill in the blanks?

1) I assume I should apply the update to GalaxyXTV4 first since that says it makes swap better.

2) Now how do I actually get swap enabled? I download this kernel for XT720 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12047977&postcount=1, correct?

3) If that's right, what do I do with it next? I really have no idea lol.

4) Once I have swap enabled (I still need to figure that out), does it stay enabled forever until I change the kernel back? I mean if I were to reboot my phone, or say flash a new ROM would I still have swap enabled?

5) Is there any downside to having swap enabled? What exactly is swap doing in simple terms?

6) Any more information I need?

Any help with these questions is greatly appreciated since I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing regarding swap.

Thanks!

Interesting - just found this on Android police, funny how it pops up today :p http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...on-usb-storage-or-sd-card-problem-on-android/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Its not about overclocking that drains the battery anymore because i run on 550mhz and battery is still not as good as the original rom :/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:

Swap custom kernel (boot.img)

syrenz, hopefully above explanation could help you....:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Greatly appreciated :D

I'll try to work through it tomorrow or something then.

EDIT:

"a. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LINUX SWAP PARTITION IN MICROSD CARD"

What's meant by this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khankuan:
Hey gera_nium,

read that post before :/ im comparing between the original moto2.1 rom and khal's V4 rom. Have installed the same apps on both phone and same usage. Infact, khals's rom does not have the crap build-in apps from moto's original rom so there are less apps. Only things i can think of that drains more battery is ADW launcher and not using task killer on khal's since it is froyo.

Thanks for you reply ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] vari9:
hey guys whenever i reboot my phone the set cpu shows the swap cache as zero and my kernel isn't fjjfalcon one......is this normal?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gera_nium:
as you know, we should format and partition our sdcard according to those expert recommendation, as example if you hv 8gb micro sdcard, you should format and then partition fat32=6.4gb, ext3=1gb and linux swap=513mb, here is come linux swap:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gera_nium:
yes, vari9 is normal & correct (swap cache=0)....i recommend you to do 'fastboot fjfalcon custom kernel boot.img' whenever and everytime reboot:)

i just went and checked out quadrant results and it was around 1530 but people with other phones get 3000 and above with their stock rom.

Can i improve my quadrant score anyhow to atleast 2500.

why is it so less!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] scumm_boy:
At an elevated shell (su) type the following:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system

This will remount /system in read/write. If you want to change it back to Read Only, just change the rw to ro after the -o.

I am two cheap to buy Root Explorer, so I wrote two shell scripts that live in /system/bin to mount the filesystem rw and ro.

Hey khal, I think u forgot to include a keyboard with ur new v2 rom. Everytime I tried to select a text box framework would force close. Luckily I still had ur Ginger themed keyboard in my updates folder and all's working well now.

I didn't have any problems with the keyboard.

Hello,

I restored v2 and did a factory reset. At the first time, it starts and everything goes well. Then i shut off my phone and start it again. Now heres my problem, the first screen with the motorola logo appears and then it restarts in a loop. I can only solve it when doing a fectory reset or starting it without SD card.

Got anyone an Idea?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
With the version he uploaded yesterday? Weird I couldn't log in or anything untilled I applied the themed keyboard update I have.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
you the only one perhaps..:) im pretty sure included with the keyboard...

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
No OC files and there's still the loop.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Do you have an ext2 and/or swap partition on your SD card?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
600MB ext2 and 14,x GB FAT32. No Swap.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Can you try making a nandroid backup of the "SD Data" partition (only) and then use nandroid to restore the "SD Data" partition from that backup? (This will create a tar of the ext2 partition, reformat the ext2 partition, and then restore the contents from the tar)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
SD Data Backup => Factory Reset => Restore v2 => Resotre SD Data => Restart(Boot) => everything works fine => Restart => Loop
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
After I installed Mioze7Ae's Patch v2 for Dexter's 1.3, it works!

I start the phone, the white Motorola logo appears and after 2 minutes, it restarts and boots. It's finished after 6 minutes (2 minutes for the 1st start are included). When I shut off my phone, it takes another 6 minutes until I can use it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What directories do you have on your ext2 partition?

That's what I was going to ask too.

I'm digging the ROM Khal, but do you happen to have the stock (unskinned) gmail apk? I'm a bit of a freak about keeping my apps up to date, and it's killing me to have the gmail update error out :o
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Not sure how to do that... But maybe I could figure it out when I put my SD card in since I remember the fat32 thing last time I formatted.

Not sure if I'm going to do this after all if I have to do the process every time I start up my phone... While it sounds like it would be good, having to do some tweaking every time I reboot my phone sounds like a pain... :(
