[Milestone XT720 General] Phreakist:
I installed 2.2 last night. I seem to be having issues with the market. I can't find apps on my phone, and when I checked the market from my computer, I've been getting "This app is incompatible with your Cincinnati Bell Motorola XT720." Is there a fix for this?
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
What you said is correct. We get response when buttons are pushed and when the botton four (Menu, Home, Back, Search) are used, but the original 2.1 rom would allow EVERY touch on the screen to produce a slight buzz. This is not possible on any froyo rom for this phone. Frankly, it's a silly feature anyway.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Don't speak too quickly. ;) Mediaon linked to WanHu's froyo today and it has haptic feedback that is identical to what we had in 2.1 as far as I can tell.

The problem with Dexter's final ROMs (that we've been using) is that he ended up throwing out the Korean 2.2 XT720 framework and he used the A853 framework he was more familiar with in order to quickly fix bugs everyone was complaining about. The A853 has a framework designed for a device that has a hardware keyboard. The things that don't work on our 2.2 ROMs are things that the A853 doesn't have. WanHu's ROM is not perfect yet, but it's based on the Korean 2.2 framework and lots of the missing things are already working (radio, media key, zoom window for cursor positioning). I'm pretty psyched about WanHu's ROM.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
It's not identical, but its closer. With my 2.1, it would buzz at every touch of the screen. WanHu's ROM still doesn't do that. I just loaded WanHu's ROM and I'm stoked about it too. I hope we can combine this with CBs froyo and make a killer ROM.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Anybody fixed milestone overclock at boot by any chance?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I've submitted a bug to Milestone Overclock. Hopefully we can fix this there and avoid the hacks we've used in the past. http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/issues/detail?id=161

You may be able to place the 05_overclock mentioned there into /system/etc/init.d and set permissions, but I haven't tested it on the CBW ROM. Let's see if we can get this fixed correctly rather than continue to hack around the bug.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
I went into system apps and found two files, su-signed.apk and Superuser.apk. Deleted both of them, and tried to download superuser from the market but they wouldnt install. I even tried before deleting them and it said there was a signature mismatch. :( bummer!
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Thanks!

The download from Rootzwiki is an update zip & should be copied to the /openrecovery/updates folder & applied in Open Recovery.

[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Sorry for sounding like a noob but do I update both the binary and app through open recovery? Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
The "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" update has both the apk & the binary
[Milestone XT720 General] ITDrone:
Excuse me for being a noob, but how did you guys get milestone overclock to load on the 2.2 update from cinbell?
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Download the app from android market. 'Milestone overclock'. You need to be rooted to use it. At the moment there is a bug, so youll have to set it each time you reboot your phone.
[Milestone XT720 General] ITDrone:
OK, might have overstated my noobness a bit. I'm familiar with how to load it etc.

Currently when i load it, it says "failed to load module"

I am rooted, and it worked previously on my dexter 2.2 build. On the build from Cinbell 2.2 it fails to load and will not let me OC. It installs just fine.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I use version 1.4.1 of Milestone Overclock, deleted the overclock.ko files from /system/lib/modules and it works fine, even after reboot.
[Milestone XT720 General] ITDrone:
1.4.1 works perfectly for me.

So far, this 2.2 build seems rock solid stable. Not the most blazing fast, but zero weird lag spikes, no memory leaks and no crashes or lockups.
[Milestone XT720 General] hotpwan:
Downloading official .......
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Cinci == Dexter?

So is the Cincinnati Bell ROM basically a repackage with a few enhancements to Dexter's ROM? I am trying to find out the technical details of it as I am running on a Mac.
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
Guys can someone please please do a mirror of this un multiupload please..? I've been tryn to downlpad it all day and I keep on getting stuck or my download cut short, I dunno maybe it's the dl server or something but I never get this when I download in the mirrors of all the other roms.. please guys.. anyone..
[Milestone XT720 General] cancrippler:
Trajano, I'd say that's a fair statement. It does seem faster than dexter's but bugfix 3 can be applied without adverse effect. Some speculate it works better because it uses a more stable (older) kernel. Looks identical to dexter's.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Got a mirror here for anyone having trouble downloading, hopefully it helps!
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
THANKS!!!

I owe you bigtime! Thanks so much!! Will be waiting! Very very much appreciated! Thanks!:D
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Im pretty sure ths is noob qn but i want to be safe: even though this is released by cincinnati bell, i dont need to flash cincinnati sbf to get it to work rite? it can work with xt720 in any country rite?(eg: Singapore, Europe, etc) any help would be appreciated!!
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
You should be able to load this without flashing anything. No sbf required first.
[Milestone XT720 General] smblkc:
The other day I had flashed the phone with the CB upgrade. All went well... so I thought. After flashing, the phone works great. It's a lot quicker than before. However, I can't any apps without the phone resetting! Regardless of how I try it, every time I try to perform an install, it reboots.

Anyone else run into this issue with the new CB upgrade? CB said that they have not seen this, and they were unable to resolve the issue (I was told that they may be able to after the 6th....).
[Milestone XT720 General] bagongs:
Guys, can I use this ROM in Europe? Thank you in advance!
[Milestone XT720 General] Semseddin:
Yes, you can use it with European XT720.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The first thing is to find out if your SD card may be the problem. The ones that Motorola shipped with the phone seem to be particularly troublesome. Try backing up the data (copying it to your hard drive) and then reformat the sdcard. The best way to do this is with the card directly in a computer.

Another possibility is: did you do the Titanium Backup "Restore all missing apps + all system data" as described in the CBW upgrade pdf? That didn't work for me when I was testing their upgrade instructions. I had to factory reset and then restore only the downloaded apps.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
My feel of the update for regular users this is a good update for people that like those who like tweet it may not work well for but that old kernel is very stable I moved it a build I been working on and it made my build the most stable one that I ever had.

I'm going see if cm7 could be booted successfuly some time soon.

The bell update is very stable been useing it on other phone no freezes or any mishaps running it.
[Milestone XT720 General] smblkc:
I did I clicked on the backup feature for it to install Titanium Backup (which it did). However, I did not actually use the app since I had decided that it was okay to factory reset the phone and then reformat the SD prior to installation. The only things on the card were what the reformatting put on there plus the necessary files to do the upgrade.

The card is actually not the one that came with the phone. I had replaced it with a new one after I got the phone.

I will reformat it once again and flash the phone. I have to admit that I am a bit miffed as to why CB would roll out the upgrade before their people are actually about to provide support. The guy I spoke to at the Eastgate (Cincinnati, Ohio) location was completely unaware that they had even released this update already.

One thing that I am curious to see if it may have had a bearing was that when I unpacked and installed the files from CB, my antivirus notified that a file was being detected as a bug. According to the logs, RageagainsttheCage was getting flagged. Though I had allowed this file, I am wondering if my antivirus may have been the issue. In hindsight, I should have just disabled it....
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
Can someone compare RusMod 1.19 and CBW?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
RageAgainstTheCage was developed to root Android 2.1. It was later repurposed by some malware (DroidDream) and hidden in apps in the market, so that's why the antivirus is detecting it. RageAgainstTheCage not working would only prevent you from rooting the phone. So, if you've made it Superuser or OpenRecovery, that's not the problem.

After you reformat your sdcard, it's very important to have both the OpenRecovery directory and OpenRecovery.zip. If you lost those, we can tell you where to find them. Just FYI.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Okay just wanted to confirm two things.

1) Use milestone overclock 1.4.2 and delete overclock.ko and the other file I forget its name from system/lib/modules. And your settings will be saved on reboot.

2) Go into system/app and delete su-signed.apk. Download update super user from http://www.rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?231-Superuser-2.3.6.3-17-June-2011. Copy the zip to your update folder in open recovery and apply as update through open recovery to get back superuser account.

Thanks to all who gave me the tips.
[Milestone XT720 General] rsuertenich:
Same problem with me, and I was not able to flash again with Android Commander because the phone started also rebooting.

Solution was: I did a factory reset, after that everything worked fine.
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
Guys just my 2 cents, but we should really stop treating this and an official build.

This is just another (badly) tweeked D3xter ROM.

The closesed i've seen to official so far is WanHu's.

Media key and txt magnifier working, it's mega fast and full haptic feedback, TVout and HDMI. FM radio volume.

There are no weird framework gliches or waiting 30 seconds for the damn widget menu....

I well Mz and i got the moto hijack working last night it's Mz and Ks hack i just figured it out on my own while Mz did to lol, but all Scripts working MS OC 1.4.8 flawless.

Mz is working on the Power menu and once that is done,.. well lets just say im inspired again.

The batt life is just incomparable to the other ROMs

I say dump this one.

Was i nice try generated alot of hype and im sure CbW sales went through the roof.
[Milestone XT720 General] Kanty_K:
a bit disappointment, use MIUI 2.2 continualy.
[Milestone XT720 General] smblkc:
Sadly, I tried that when it happened, and it was no luck for me. I am just going to have to wait until CB can actually support their upgrade. I do want to thank those who have offered help here....

Even with OpenRecovery in place and the like, the phone keeps rebooting when I try to flash. Whether it is a bug in the upgrade or something with my hardware specifically, I do not know. What I do know is that I currently have an extremely stupid smartphone until this issue is fixed.

I am just not so convinced that the dudes (and dudettes) at the Cincinnati Bell stores will have any more luck than I did unless they got a few tricks up their sleeves.
[Milestone XT720 General] Conneyjr:
Have you tried backing up then reformatting your SD card. I know with other ROMs it it get's corrupted it will cause boot looping. Is it the stoc card that you got with your phone?

Official cincinnati bell froyo RELEASED

i'm become a little bit confuse.

i see two kind of device:

Motorola Milestone XT720

AND

Motorola XT720

I have Motorola XT720 From Canada Videotron Provider with 2.1 Eclair.

Now it's rooted i try some rom like Khal and Dexter rom.

1. But can i try the rom from "Official cincinnati bell froyo RELEASED"

2. What is the difference on this two model of phone.

Thanks.

[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Everyone should Backup their SDcard and format it clean before flashing. All my bad problems with flashing has always been caused by the SDcard. Always. Unless it's just not being done right. If you know how to flash without Android commander training wheels then their shouldn't be any issues. Could be a bug in Android commander not formatting the Sdcard properly. Bootloops is an SDcard issue. apps or programs interfering. Just my 2 cents from my experience. If you don't know how or don't want to flash without Android commander then yes wait for Cbw support. There are forums and faq's everywhere on how to flash new rom's.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Getting great battery life, after 22 hrs 50% remaining.
[Milestone XT720 General] smblkc:
It does not seem to be an issue with the SD card. It is not the stock card and it is fine. It also is not going into a reset loop. It resets once and then it is back to normal. It only resets when trying to install an application either through the market or any other method.

I believe that, just like any other software installation, there just maybe something with my particular hardware and this particular hack that just doesn't agree. Indeed I am not familiar with Android OS and all of the hacks, and do require the "training wheels."

I also have a feeling that whoever I deal with there will be just as knowledgeable in it as I am. The only reason that I had even attempted it is because it was put out by CB, and I do know that this really should have been a painless experience if you follow the directions. I guess that I was wrong.....

I appreciate all of the advice from the group, and also those who develop some of the great apps out there.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Ok. I just know with many others on here that no matter if we format and partition our SDcards right before hand or not, There has been trouble with all of our SdCards and whenever a flash turns out like that, we just need to try and reformat and try again. There is some bug that causes the sdcard to interfere in that way, we already know this after flashing and reflashing different roms hundreds of times. The case always requires a reformat and a retry to fix it. I really don't see your phone being an exception to this ongoing issue no matter what rom we are flashing. Cincinnati bell cannot control that bug. And it's not the Sdcard itself it's something with the XT720 and the card. So it doesn't matter if you have the stock card or not. With all my experience in the last 3 months of flashing the issue always requires a proper reformat or partition. And a data wipe after the flash, cbw asks to do it before. I wipe data before and after anyway to make sure it is cleaned.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I would run a check disk on it before you reformat it. Reformatting over and over lowers the life of the card. My thoughts are if you can boot into recovery, then your card isn't bunk bc the recovery folder and zip are both stored on the card itself and the phone needs to be able to read them in order to get into recovery in the first place.

I have a 32gb class 10 and it is a pain to reformat and save over and over. If you use minitool partition wizard, you can reformat the fat, ext or swap and not lose any data unless you choose so by filling in the sectors with 1s or 0s.

Reformatting is an option but to me it sounds more like a corrupted file. Find the file and you find the problem.

Good luck.
[Milestone XT720 General] smblkc:
Just to update on my dilemma....

CinBell finally was able to help me. They did exactly what I thought that they would: got a new XT720. Apparently, they weren't able to access any of the master files or otherwise perform the update per the manager there. Neither they nor I know why this happened, as the install went smooth (or so I thought).

I am glad that they remedied this issue. It just irks me that I had been given such a runaround on the issue.

Anyways, thanks again for all of the great advice here!

Market crashes, can't install apps

After loading the CBW rom I can't seem to get any apps installed. After download it starts to install and then... black screen, Cin Bell screen, Launcher. No app installed!

I can't install Titanium to restore my stuff because I can't get Titanium installed! I can't install app from SD because I can't get Root Explorer installed!

I know that this is probably an easy fix but I can't seem to find any threads with this particular problem.

Thanks,

Mike
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Two things to try. First while turning on the phone hold the volume up, this should take you into Open Recovery, from there try the Wipe Data / Factory reset option (again). If that doesn't work I would try reflashing the rom again (in open recovery >> nandroid >> restore >> CBfroyo >> restore all) & then wipe data / factory reset.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Also look at smblkc posts and the replies in this thread. I think that was the same problem.

dalvik-cache to /cache partition

just fighting with that:)

Never used Dexter Froyo before, so it take me a little more time than expected...

Today installed cincinnati froyo, and just setup the bare minumum.

e.g. root-ed, dpi to 180, and dalvik-cache moved to /cache

to /cache, because is faster than any sdcard and because we never will get ota update:)

so it works almost out of the box, except that a small modification has to be made in /system/ramdisk.tar (which is gzipped btw).

in the tar file, there is init.rc which gently sets the persmission of /cache to 0770 (for successfull moving, they have to be 0771 ).

so just booted with moved dalvik-cache:)

New XT720 Owner. Found out that it was 2.1, need 2.2 to enhance memory options. Link for 2.2 Froyo?
[Milestone XT720 General] tvann2182:
I have done the 2.2 upgrade but still not a fan it is still somewhat glitchy and slow just as it has always been going for the galaxy xtv4 instead
[Milestone XT720 General] tvann2182:
with the new 2.2 you do not need to install app to sd as its built into the new version all you have to do is go to settings applications and from there you can transfer between sd card and phone memory as for titanium i would make sure that your phone is rooted as you will not be able to finish the install without it being rooted from what i remember when i did my initial install
[Milestone XT720 General] mec31:
Overall I like the update, and applaud CBW's effort, but there are a few quirks I could use some help with:

--we gained a wifi tethering app, but it doesn't seem to work. Not only that, but Barnacle, which did work under 2.1, doesn't work either. Is there a solution for data tethering following the upgrade?

--I seem to have lost the one-touch home panel scrolling control. Yes, I know there are many awesome launchers out there, but why doesn't this Froyo version have the standard Froyo home panel controls.

Thanks for any info!
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Thanks for the news, I guess if the launch in July, all users could update XT720? and I imagine also that we would have to go back to 2.1 to make this update. Will be a headache. But if that's possible, surely will bring new benefits to work instead of a rom.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
I'm half-considering going back to 2.1 already, to remind me of the things we're missing on our 2.2 but will get back in a number of weeks (hopefully)... Can't remember the detriments of 2.1 over 2.2 atm though and don't want to go back and regret it instantly (on the other hand I know what I miss). Hmm.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Hopefully what will happen is that the release the lock, but very doubtful. Next would be that we can take whatever it is they give us apart and make a superstable ROM that has all the bug fixes we need for the 2.2 roms we already have. Think it was either Rev or Moize that made the joke about CBW's new rom being signed by Dexter.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
I'm still debating whether I want to try going back for a bit temporarily... can anyone remind me of any detriments of stock 2.1 on XT720? The only thing coming to mind right now is the fact that it's 2.1 and not 2.2. Can anyone who was one 2.1 recently answer these questions? How's the speed? How's the RAM? What were any noticeable issues?

It's been so long I can't remember lol (I do remember that I wasn't hitting my phone in anger everyday though so it cant have been that bad) . :p

Thanks.
