[Milestone XT720 General] banshee56:
Reverend...thanks for this latest video. I stated this once before, but I think it warrants mentioning again....I also have an XT720 from Cincinnati Bell, so I am very interested in your tutorials. I've followed them exactly and get the exact same results during the flash operations and just after, but for whatever reason, I am only getting 1180ish in Quadrant while you are getting 1300+.

I am overclocking to 1GHz @ 74Vsel and am using SetCPU set to 1GHZ max on 'performance'. I have installed all of the updates with the exception of the full V4 ROM, though I had it once, but GPS kept quitting and phone rebooted, so I reverted back to the V3 with updates to cam, V3, and V4 w/ swap. I have a PNY 8GB Class 4 card partitioned with a 6GB fat32 partition, a 1GB ext3 partition, and the balance (400+MB) for swap.

Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I have noticed that if I have a bunch of widgets loaded or I try to do the quadrant benchmark immediately after a reboot without letting the system settle down, I can sometimes get lower scores. And actually, I have also gotten lower scores with SetCPU set to max or performance. I have found that the best scores come with SetCPU on ondemand.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I believe we have become troll bait.
[Milestone XT720 General] earthsword:
hi! couple of questions.

You mentioned in part 2 that if i were to reboot the phone after getting the swap kernel on, it'll switch back to the original kernel? ---> so that means that if i want to use this kernel, i must not reboot my phone else i'll have to go thru adb again?

One more thing, your video didn't mentioned about how to move the app to the ext partition. Can i make a request that you include how to do this in your next video?

I've been watching your video since the v 1st one! and I'm really grateful for what you've done for people like me =)
[Milestone XT720 General] molohov:
Yes, if you reboot your phone you will have to reload the kernel via fastboot!

Thanks so much Reverend! This is exactly what I was looking for. Khal's english, while I tried very hard to comprehend, is not complete enough for a good procedure to be found. This was excellent!
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Hopefully, my next video tutorial will be "How to install the OFFICIAL Cincinnati Bell Froyo." I will be inquiring today about the availability of such a creature.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I fully expect this to be resolved as "oops, we meant to type 2.1.2". But I would love to be proved wrong. I will be sitting on my F5.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I will not accept that as a valid response. Look for me on the news tonight! :p
[Milestone XT720 General] Niephasus:
If you have an ext partition set up be sure to have a folder labeled app in the extension. From there, Khalpowers rom will automatically divert apps to the extension. If you are in disbelief, use root explorer to check your app folder in sd-ext. If you don't have a folder named app, use root explorer to create one, or use puppy linux to do so too.
[Milestone XT720 General] earthsword:
Really?! *GASP* haha.. alright! and.. *gasp* again at prospect of official froyo :eek::eek:
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
The official word from Cincinnati Bell:

"Nope."

Sorry kids.
[Milestone XT720 General] vari9:
thanks for everything!

but i have a problem......the adb is not present in tools.

it is there in platform tools.

In tools there is a file stating adb has moved.

i need to install that fastboot update.

help!
[Milestone XT720 General] rcatkinson:
As of 25 April Cincinnati Bell is still saying they are working on the 2.2 release.

Quote for their Facebook page: "We are still working on an upgrade for the Motorola Milestone to Android 2.2. More info will be posted once the upgrade is available.

April 25 at 4:59pm"

Maybe they will actually come thru with this, although I really have my doubts about it. I guess all we can do is wait and see what happens.
[Milestone XT720 General] Doodalicious:
Hey everyone!

First up, thanks loads for all your tutorials reverend, have dexter's froyo running without a problem. Watched the next few videos and im going to flash khal's rom later on.

I had a few questions in mind, i hope it hasnt been asked cause ive tried looking around...

1) Following your dexter froyo vid, the open recovery used there will be the one we will be using for khalpower right?

2) is there a significant battery drain on khals rom

3) how do you fast boot?

Sorry if this is addressed in the khal tutorial but im really a worrywart haha so thanks for your time!
[Milestone XT720 General] Doodalicious:
Don't need to anymore everything went smooth guess I was worrying for nothing!
[Milestone XT720 General] Doodalicious:
Hey reverend, was wondering. Following your video, I updated my rom with the updates you've given. Following khal's thread though, is the version you put in the same one as the latest v4 with fix update on his thread?

Many thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I believe Khal's latest, SteelEpicBlueav4, already has all the patches, no need to apply any updates.

Sent from the debug window

Moving Apps to EXT3

Hey Rev, thanks for all the help!

I'm new to android and your vids made me look like a pro! (Not really.. :D)

Anyway, I do have 1 question though, I tried searching for it but can't find the answer, so i installed Khal's ROM as per your tutorial, and updated up to v4, but i didn't install the fastboot kernel though, coz i don't have adb on my computer.

I'd like to ask, since we made an EXT3 partition, can we use it for apps? I didn't create an app folder in my ext3 partition. I guess my question would be:

1) Should i create an app folder in my ext3 partition to be able to move apps to my sdcard? if so, once created, what to do next to transfer the apps?

2) application manager already has a "move to SD" option, i tried this and it did move the games to my SD card, and freed up space on my internal memory, what's the difference with this and the ext3 app folder?

I hope you can spare some time and shed light on these please, again thanks so much for your vids, I didn't get lost on any one of them. And yes i know how to install open recovery. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
I think if you install an app called link2sd from the android market, you can use it to link all apps (except system apps) to the ext3 partition. just take a look at the link provided: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD. I have it on my xt720 and it works like a charm; now i have around 65mb-75mb free internal space!! I however use the FAT32 partiton, but the dev says it supports ext2, ext3, ext4 and fat32 partition!! Hope this helps!! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Actually, if you put a directory on your ext3 partition named "app", the system will automatically move apps to that directory. I do not personally use this feature, but I know others who do. My sd card is just one big fat32 partition.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I used Rev's method of one big Fat, tried Link2sd and now using app2ext (/sd-ext/app method) and really it all comes down to personal preference. All are different in the UI, but all do essentially the same thing, free up internal. Take a week with all three and go from there. You can put an ext3 partition on your card and not enable it to try the native froyo app2sd. Don't like it, move all apps back to internal and try link2sd. Don't like that, then make the folder sd-ext/app (I would try this option last) and reboot.
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
Thanks for the tips guys, what i did was, (did this right aftr i posted my question, i couldn't wait for an answer.. lol) create an app folder on my ext partition using root explorer.. rebooted my phone, and upon checking, all of my apps are now in the apps folder i made in the ext3 partition. Quite nice, i now have 130mb of free space on my card from like 50ish, it does get lessened though as i install more apps, i think maybe this is because some components of the apps needs to stay on the phone.. or not.. nevertheless, thanks a lot for the info guys..! Will stay with this method for a while and see how it plays out.. i can always try the other methods anytime if i like, or know how to.. :D Again thanks everyone!
[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
I have my phone in fastboot mode, and boot.img and fastboot file in adb folder, but when I execute fastboot boot boot.img command it shows :

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

ROM: CM6 with patch v6

OS: windows 7 64-bit

Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
First you have to adb reboot bootloader, once the phone resets then type in fastboot boot boot.img.. and make sure you /cd to android-sdk/tools and the boot.img is in there as well.. or you can just navigate to that dir using windows explorer and type cmd in the address bar..
[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
adb reboot bootloader worked for me, it shows "Bootloader Fastboot mode" on the screen

and I have the fastboot & boot.img file under

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot boot.img

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

kinda strange
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
Hmm.. that is strange, not sure what's wrong, try googling it and see, you may not have the right sdk tools or something like that..
[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
figured out, it is the fastboot.exe is corrupted. Downloaded a new one and all work as expected. Thank you.

hey there,

i'm looking for a quality call filter application which has a white list and profiles (time/day related blocking) and actually works.

i'm running cm7 and haven't found a good one yet, call filter, afirewall, extreme call blocker droid, those are the ones i tested recently.

what i'd prefer too, is to get the application from a trusted dev, w/o handing over gps location data to some devs in asia.

if the filter has easy adding for contact groups it would be perfect.

have you guys discovered something that fits my needs?

thanks for taking the time to help me, i appreciate it!

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:

Hi,

For a start the thme you are trying to apply is not designed for your phone.

Edit: the reason it is giving you errors is that the theme you are trying to install is a theme that needs to be flashed from recovery. metamorph will only handle files that were designed for iit.

I came across in interesting article that shows why Android doesn't need a task killer which is in line with your question. So apparently the OS "knows" what apps need to stay in memory and which can be killed.

I haven't been able to get Pandora to turn off either but that's the only app that I've had issues with. I can pause it, but the icon still reflects near the clock, which annoys me. I usually just kill it from within settings.

More often than not, you can just back out of the programs by hitting the left arrow a number of times. Otherwise just let HC deal with it accordingly, hit Home and move on. I'm learning it'll free up memory when it needs it.

Saying that you dont need to close App's because Android "knows" is just redic. We all have task-manager's on Android why is Honeycomb different? Simply put it isn't and we just have no working solution currently. Why do I say this?

When I have several app's open you can tell the system slow's down. Why can I not close the App's I wont be continuously using?

You can. Put a shortcut on the homescreen to battery usage and close the that you're done with. There's really no need to close them anyways.

This is a very bad example, to trully show the screen quality the videos should be converted at the max resolution of the screen.

Puting bigger resolution videos than the max native screen res will result in pixelation, because the phone then has to convert the video in realtime which is a much worse conversion than first doing it with a decent software and then displaying it on the screen without need for picture rescaling.

not to be a **** but isn't 480i standard resolution and 480p the first step towards hd? again could be completely daft but that's my understanding.

p > i ?
