steelblue reset problem

i previously had the persona red rom...with some theme updates.

recently i put on the latest steelblue rom...without changing anyting else ...it works a treat but my phone just randomly resets atleast once a day and i think the battery life is shorter.

i can live with the battery but not the resets....does this rom require more vsel or something to be stable??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
what OC settings are you running ?

I got perfectly stable @ 1ghz, 66vsel
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] IronMit:
910- 60 .... no one else have this problem?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I have had all the issues and I have found it is due to how you format and partition your sdcard. Might be something to do with the built in app2sd. It seems picky, I don't know I'm a rookie lol. But I have partitioned my sdcard as Reverendkjr recommended and it seemed to fix it. I have been running very stable. After you restore SteelepicblueXT and wipe data and all, Reboot and the second after it shuts off pull the battery and then partition ext-500 and swap-513 the rest fat32. It automatically creates the app folder in ext3 and moves all apps there. And I also found that if you check your ext3 and the app folder isn't there you can create it and it will work. Or others have had success just creating a fat32 without swap I think. But I think all the little issues are caused from sdcard. I run 1000ghz at 74vsel
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] IronMit:
hmm thanks for the info. i haven't followed this thread in a while so i'm a bit confused.

I keep my apps on my phone memory..i partitioned my sd card, and in the ext3 partition i put a link2sd folder..but i didnt install link2sd, thus i could use the swap partition and can keep files on phone memory. I guess i need to carefully read all relevant info in this thread for past month to figure everything out! thanks anyway!

arghh
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I believe it was in personaredV4. I ran 3g with 3-4 bars steady in my home with it and for the 2 days I had it it flashed 4g back and forth. I restored it to see if I could get it again but I can only get 3 bars near my pc but 4 bars in my livingroom and it isn't showing any 4g now. On any other rom I hardly ever get 3g in my home, it's always edge. But it seemed I got the best signal I ever had with this version so I thought it was a good question. Didn't mean to cause a ruckus lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I had great luck this way. Don't install any app2sd or link2sd app, just make sure you have a folder named "app" in ext3 and it magically moves your apps in there lol. Just check your ext3 folder after you finish and reboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
Yes there is a benefit...

I've been running EpicBlueSteel for about a week and a half... after a few days, it runs sluggish when exiting apps & launcher pro is loading up (hangs for about 20 seconds). For the past 3 days I've been running EpicBlueSteel with the FJFalcon kernal w/o swap... It runs buttery smooth... no lag at all. Still using Apps2SD & no issues... wish we could get this kernal signed! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] IronMit:
go launcher ex

im happy launcher pro became the main home of these latest roms as it was my favourite anyway.

However i gave go launcher ex a spin yesterday...which is now my new favourite..but can't decide if its faster..it has scrollable dock as well, and a built it task killer- a widget activates it from home screen or something. and themes available. Also it doesn't take 15 seconds to load up after a reboot, but instantly.

i have the go ex's taskbar widget running (.. so no need for that green task killer) , whatsapp, set cpu, go ex's sense style weather widget, (and then bbc news and gmail...because they refuse to close)..and minor battery temp, wifi on off etc widgets

and i have 55mb RAM remaining (was 67mb initially after restart but never stays that high

Anyone else try out go launcher? find any draw backs? is the ram usage good?

EDIT.. i know home screens are a discussion for more broader threads, but our phone is so scarce on RAM and speed problems, that it seemed relevant to discuss it here!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
steelepic blue is great khalpowers!

but i just have ~ 40 mb free ram all the time even if i don't run any apps?:confused:

guys...if we install apk from sd..is it possible to get update thru android market?..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] dbchoong:
Yes, it is possible. I keep a copy of TitaniumBackup.apk in my SD. After using that to install after a flash, the program can still get updated through Market if there is a newer version available.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
What's the font that Khalpowers uses in the GalaxyXT rom?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
There is a 3g hotspot that is in the personared rom that isn't in the Epicsteel rom. Does anyone have either an APK or update.zip that will work. Does it even work on the steel rom?

And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Any update on this solution? Is it still working smooth as in the first 3 days? :)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] wilsonlai12:
I am kind of confused when choosing v3miuioptimized or v4galaxy/steelblue,coz I got 70~80mb free ram with v3 usually and it's just stable but less ram is available when using v4 and however not as stable as v3,just wanna know what significant benefit can I get in v4 rom rather than v3...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Hi Mioze7Ae, first of all, thank you very much for your explanation, I find Juice defender really brilliant to save the battery and i didn't know that app. But what exactly is Androidani Recovery? And why do you no longer use ext partitions?

I've been running the Steelepicblue rom for a couple of weeks but now it's really slow, Ram availability varies greatly from 40 mb to 55 and lags of 2-3 seconds always occur to open an app, whatever it is. Is this refearable to the native app2ext? Is link2sd better from this point of view?

And one last really fundamental question: what's the real advantage of having Froyo with respect to Eclair+JIT+Apps2sd? I mean, what can you do with froyo that you can't do with Eclair+JIT+Apps2sd?

Thanks guys, I'm learning a lot from you :)

Lost network

My my network connection was awful today. Went to my home town where I grew up only about 5 miles from here in Indiana and I've always lost signal on one little stretch of road going up Jamison hill. I had a red x just about the whole time I was in Bright. I don't know how these roms effect the signal or if they do but I've never had a signal that bad before. Anybody have any advice or fixes? I think I want to try the first version 4 in the same area see what happens.

Motorola Froyo

I just read in Dexter's Froyo forum that Motorola is upgrading the Milestone xt720 to Froyo. Does anyone know anything about this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Leotronick:
Hi,

using galaxyXT version for three weeks now and works well.

My only problem is the wlan connection. The phone connects to my wlan without problems and can surf and download as much i want, but after about 5 min i lose my internet connection. wlan indicates to be as good as before and i'am still connected to it, but there is no more internet on the phone ?

Anyboby encountered similar problems ?

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
Could anyone answer this for me please?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
What's Dexter's Froyo forum :confused:? Link to w/e you're talking about? Most likely one of those things where people are confusing it with the Milestone (non-XT720) again.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I would guess he's talking about the possible Cincinnati Bell Froyo release.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:
Just to comment on this black screen issue.. i debugged further and replaced my class 2 8gb microsd with a new class4 microsd card. I transferred few large chunks of files .. 400-500 mb. All transferred fine. I havent encountered this issue so far with this new microsd.. Looks like the root cause has been the troublesome microsd card.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Cesantony:
Well for me, some times hapened something like that. Some times i surf in internet and all it's ok, but if i don't use the phone and muy screen turns off (when no use the phone) sometimes i can't surf in internet again, even when i leave the place where i have the wifi, my phone stills indicate that i am connected with that wifi, so weird. Then, i just have to tunr off the wifi, then turn on for reset. I don't know what happened with this.

I also experienced the problem with blackscreen a few times ... music is still playing and i can lock / unlock screen but it stays black (when i unlock the screen the LED's give me a signal)

That's for the Milestone, NOT for our XT720.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Beako:
Even better. I'm trying to put them on my TF101 :D Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Leotronick:
Sounds like it's the same problem. I also turn wifi of and on again to fix the problem, but this is quite annoying.

Will try with other wlan sleep settings.

It seems that not everyone is suffering from this issue, so it might be possible to entirely fix it.

Can someone using same version confirm that his/her wifi works flawless?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
another problem I have with 3g connection.. sometimes after disabling offline mode I get only connection to ehm.. mobile network. i don't know how to say ->

no data / internet possible but I can telephone and make calls . :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
I am not having any wifi problems at all. Might want to check your sleep settings.

Did you install anything like APNDroid? This changes your APN and if you don't change it back before you uninstall, it wreaks havoc.

3g issue: might want to check your APN settings b/c that will mess with your connectivity. Not sure who your carrier is, but I use Cincinnati bell and when I flashed Khals Rom's, it tweaked with those. Went to CBW website, your carrier should have support site, and fixed the APN, pap, IP,...

As a side note this also fixed the problem with the Steelblue Rom not being able to send mms messages.

And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Well I think I found out why my signal was screwed up. Just talked to cincinnati bell, they said I was using a 2g sim card and suggested I get a 3g sim card. Wtf they gave me the 2g card when I got the phone I would have got a 3g if I knew they were stupid enough to give me a 2g.

fjfalcon kernel

hey guys, one more question for you :)

how to install fjfalcon kernel and what updates are to be applied for the Steelepicblue ROM? I can't find any guide...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You can't install the kernel. You must fastboot over USB every time.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Suppe123:
I use the Galaxy version for some days now, it runs very fine, but I have one big problem. I cant end any call... when i press the end-button nothing happend, the phone apps seems to bee frozen, the rest of the phone is ok... i can press home and so on... and with the 10th or 20th try to press end the phone discconet the call... :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
wow same here .. :( running steelepicblue
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
So either I fastboot every time or fjfalcon's kernel is unusable? Isn't there a way to avoid this continuous trouble? Thank you very much!

I'm asking this because the phone (with Steelepicblue) seems to be laggy and RAM availability is always lower than 50 MB...many services more than in the previous ROMs always run...for instance

1. motorola thumbnailservice

2. android extdispservice

3. DRM protected content storage

4. Google services Framework

5. media storage

6. usb

7. android providers applications

8. google android feedback

9. motorola atcmd plugin

10. motorola hiddenmenu

11. google backup transport

12. google partner setup

13. HSTcmd

14. Latin input method tutorial

15. media container service

16. Pico TTS

in this list, is it possible to uninstall some of these services? Is any of them useless or not fundamental?

Thanks again!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Only if Motorola unlocks the bootloader or someone figures out 2nd-boot for XT720.

It's funny you ask that, because I am currently deleting as much as possible from my phone to see how little I need to be able to boot. Currently I have ~90MB free RAM. Most of that comes from removing the google apps and services, though. I'm still working it out. These are the ones I currently have on the phone:

@Khal: Any chance of you editing the ROM and replacing Music Mod with Google's new music player as default music player? Some apps interact with default music player only (i.e. GOTO Lockscreen is a cool lockscreen with music controls but only for the default player - worked with old stock player and works with Music Mod only because it's default I assume - usually non stock music player did not work with GOTO, so...)

Funny but I always delete those apps from my ROM when I reflash it too , except the music mod. :)

I have a question. Even when I unlock my Launcher Pro Plus at StealEpicBlue ROM, I'm still unable to install/change LPP widget themes. Actually there is not such option, so I was thinking to move LPP from System to Regular apps true nandroidian, update it from the market and move it back to System apps. But I already have very stable and smooth ROM with ~40-50 free ram, so I don't wanna go true all reinstalling/cleaning... etc. So I don't wanna experiment. Can you advice me what should I do?

Go to market , find LPP and update it !! it worked for me and now i have the octane orange theme... version 0.8.6 lpp with widget themes !

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using the GalaxyXT V4 ROM and I would like to try the steelepicbluev4 clean version ROM. Do I have to wipe (the factory reset) in OpenRecovery once I restored the new ROM ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eSu.Matix:
You must wipe dalvik-cache/factory reset/clear cache after every restore I think. At less that is what I do and it works more than fine for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] qnguyen88:
Thanks for your answer. I've just restored the steelepicblue ROM and I noticed it's smoother than the galaxyxt rom :) but like some people here, I'm looking forward to install the miui ROM (when the issues will be solved).

What directories should you have on the ext partition?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
I have:

app

app-private

dalvik-cache

lost+found
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I think this is the latest version.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I haven't checked v2 of this ROM yet, but I suspect the long boot times are because of an incompatibility between my patch and the memhack included in this ROM. If you have /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and my patch on this ROM, the dalvik-cache will be deleted and rebuilt on each reboot. So, I would just delete or rename your /sd-ext/dalvik-cache directory. After you do this the dalvik-cache will rebuild one more time, but after that it will not on subsequent reboots.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
After I've deleted /sd-ex/dalvik-cache everthing works fine, even without your Patch!

dalvik-cache is now in /cache/dalvik-cache and i have only 23,4MB free. What do i have to do if I run out of space and dont want to deleted any apps?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
What does the dalvik-cache and private app directories do?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Those directories are usually in the /data partition (a.k.a. internal memory). If you move them to /sd-ext you get more space for the other things that live in /data. dalvik-cache are the JIT compiled versions of the applications. I personally don't have any apps that install into private-app, but I think the difference has something to do with copy protection but I'm not sure.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] cdstewart:
I think if you uninstall it and then download it from the market it should fix it.
