[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It will be interesting to see what they release. The more I think about it from a pragmatic business perspective, I just don't see how it can be possible for Cincinnati Bell to release something not built by Motorola. If you start sorting through legal issues about officially releasing one of our ROMs, you run into these problems: (1) Motorola has the copyright to the libraries and such that we poached from Motoroi and A853 for our 2.2 ROMs and could use DMCA to prevent distribution and then there are (2) issues about voiding the manufacturer's warranty. Anyway, I'm not yet convinced this isn't going to be a Motorola-supported release. In any case, there are conflicting reports from people claiming to be or know Cincinnati Bell employees. We'll have to wait for the release (or a leak) to find out.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Oh Yeah!

FB Question "Haha indeed it will! I was wondering about the deployment. A previous poster pointed out that the OTA update function on the XT720 fails with a "Connection Error". What will the procedure be to update?"

CB Responce "The Cincinnati Bell update will require a hard connection."

Edit & its up !!!! http://cincinnatibell.com/milestoneupgrade/

And its a nandroid, there instructions include rooting the phone & restoring a nandroid through Open Recovery.

[Milestone XT720 General] Jinsuke32:
They released it!
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I am downloading and installing RIGHT NOW!!!!

Stay tuned...
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
WOOOT!!!

Thought I would have to wait another 2 weeks!
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
It's a bunch of applications and a cbw.zip nandroid file. LOL.

Flashing now...
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Flash the nandroid as I would any other ROM, correct? Don't have to do any other steps this time?
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I'm working on uploading the cbw.zip nandroid file to a shared file service so people can just download it and flash like any other nandroid we've used. Nothing else that they provided in the package is necessary.

Here is a link to the cbw.zip file. Download and install with System Recovery as usual. Enjoy!

HOLLY CRAP!!!! SHOOP DA WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well they actually pulled through... wow

Looks like we got our work cut out for us M :)
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Installed. Same kernel.

:confused::mad::eek::(:confused::mad::eek::(
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Oh well. How's haptic feedback, media button etc...?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Very interested in seeing the reviews as compared to what we already have. Going to flash when I get home (rotten work firewalls). Hopefully it will be able to be picked apart and make a super-rom with App2ext/Link2sd and a working FM radio (hahaha).
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Still no haptic feedback.

Still no media button functionality.

Hahaha... No volume control for FM Radio!

So far, I'm seeing no value to this.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Oh. Crap.

:(
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Is there anyway to scan it and see if Dexter or Kahl comes up? Did they poach it is what I am getting at.

Well, there's their recognition at least :) And hopefully shame for Motorola.

Testing out in a moment

EDIT:

Crap. This is Dexter's rom, isn't it...
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I can't determine if it is or not. I scanned through the build.prop but didn't see anything obvious except for a build date of January 18th. I think they just did exactly what Dexter did and build one from the motoroi ROM.

Quadrant score at 720mhz: 933

Quadrant score at 1000mhz (Milestone Overclock from market): 1286
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
So what's different with this then what we already have. Does the media button launch gallery ad camera? Is it using 2nd unit? Same bootloader I take it? Is Dexter's ramdisk included. Lol
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
Yeah it's D3xters with all the laggy no bug fixes >:(
[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
any chance of applying Mioze7ae v3 patch to extend the power menu and the other optimizations?

Any perceived performance degredation?

USB tether working?
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Yeah, feels like it's doing the slight lag before every app that Dexter's did before Mioae7ae's fixes...
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
From the links above, they are being made out to be the White Knight.

Woodward and Bernstein may be needed here if it is something that was already developed in XDA.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
CB 2.2 = Dexter's 2.2 ?!

Joke?!?!?!?!?:mad:
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
We don't know that for a fact....

yet.:rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
Yeah a bad one...

It's D3x 1.3 no optimisations lol

$#% this noise im getting an Atrix, at least the damn bootloader is unlocked....
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Well I hope you guys followed their instructions step for step, including their final step to unroot :p
[Milestone XT720 General] Kokumuo:
It's not a joke, it's exactly like I told you guys it was going to be. It's Dexter's with a few modifications that CBW requires of all OS revisions. As I stated before, nothing to note for you guys. Sadly.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

I didn't even follow their instructions at all. I just grabbed the zip file and did my own thing.
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
WEll i guess it's ok for the users... but should have chosen on of K's galaxy finals, way more stable and has better compatibility faster too, all the fixex M put n stuff.
[Milestone XT720 General] Kokumuo:
While that's true, the modifications on the ROM started before those came out. Switching at that point would've delayed the ROM more and made the rest of the work wasted time.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
CB suckers needed 3 months for that ****.

can't believe it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think this is awesome! True, it's not a Motorola build, but that's Motorola's fault. I can understand why non-CBW users are not too impressed, but as a Cincinnati Bell user, I think it's great. And I've got to admit, this seals the deal--no more Motorola for me. Ever. Regardless of whether it has an unlockable bootloader. If Motorola's software didn't suck, we wouldn't care about the bootloader anyway. All of Motorola's finger pointing at the carriers is just blame-shifting bull****, and this proves it. Now, back to work!
[Milestone XT720 General] Jinsuke32:
I really regret buying this phone right now...If only I knew as much as I know right now when I bought the phone.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Indeed. well Im going back to 2.1. for now. Probably going to stay there until some progress is made with cm7... sigh, this is kind of dissapointing....
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
does this rom have any advantage for development ?!
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Wonder if the video that accompanies the directions is similar to Rev's videos. Now that would be High-Larry-Us
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Trust me. It's not. I watched it. Meh...amateurs.
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
[Sarcasm]

Did CBW at least integrate Calvin and the M boot animation! ? That would have been fun...

[\Sarcasm]

[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
Can I apply the bugfix v3 patch on top?
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
don't want to act that same **** like CB video shows.. can we just apply it by OR??
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Let me check this out. It's not verbatim Dexter. I'll probably take this opportunity to finish up v4.
[Milestone XT720 General] tharan.a:
Quite interesting, can anyone post a review (or even better, a video review) of CB's ROM? And, then compare it with dexters. I mean for a carrier to release, it should be somewhat stable, no?
[Milestone XT720 General] c_urbanek:
I can't believe all the negative posts on this!.. Yes, performance wise it sounds like a dissappointment.. But this is a bold move by CinciBell..... It has to put pressure on Moto to take a second look at the upgrade situation. I'm a CB customer and I won't be using this rom, sticking with Miui... But this is a huge embarrasement for Moto. Now maybe the can get us something official.... Stop being a bunch of whiners... Just sayin.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
some users already tried ( not ME ) :

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Amen. (except for that part about MIUI... ick ;))
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I wouldn't call these posts negative. I believe people are just expressing the huge disappointment in having hopes of something amazing, only to find out that this is actually a step backwards from what was already publicly available.

I do commend Cincinnati Bell for giving the general population a way to at least get up to speed with where we all were 3 months ago.
[Milestone XT720 General] tharan.a:
+1, wish more carriers would be like this.
[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
The only thing that is really missing from the existing rom and bug fix is usb tethering. I dont know about anyone else by that is all i am really looking for.
[Milestone XT720 General] pavithren:
+1...At least they put in some effort unlike Motorola and other operators.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
These are the differences between Dexter's original 1.3 and the Cincinnati Bell release:

/system/app/Browser.apk differs (not sure what's different yet)

/system/media/bootanimation.zip differs (Cincinnati Bell logo on white)

/system/etc/apns-conf.xml differs:

They're different. Cincinnati Bell's is actually longer (1313 lines) vs Dexter's (960 lines). There may be two lines of garbage at the end of CBW's, but I don't think it's a problem because the XML is properly closed before that.

/system/build.prop differs:

diff CincinnatiBellFroyo/system/build.prop Dexter13/system/build.prop
4c4
< ro.build.display.id=ULTIMOBILE 2.2.1
---
> ro.build.display.id=Dexter's Milestone2.2.1 XT720 remake
59c59
< dalvik.vm.heapsize=28m
---
> dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
167,168d166
< ro.com.android.dataroaming=true
<

Cincinnati Bell reduced the heap size from 32m to 28m, which is interesting because we've usually gone the other direction in our ROMs and this could affect free RAM. Worth experimenting with. The other change is to turn on data roaming by default (Cincinnati Bell customers have nation-wide roaming, I think)

Renamed and resigned (Android test key, I think, not sure) in CBW version:

/system/app/superuser.apk => /system/app/su-signed.apk

I've extracted the apk's and compared them, only the signatures differ. I don't understand enough about how signatures work to know whether that matters.

In Dexter's 1.3, but missing in CBW version:

/system/app/MilestoneOverclock147.apk

/system/app/OpenRecovery.apk

Deleting OpenRecovery.apk is a best-practice on our 2.2 ROMs anyway since it seems to like to hang around as a service eating a lot of RAM. Good riddance.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Yup. I'm sticking with my original asessment, that Cincy Bell just took Dexter's idea, and made their own. It runs pretty well actually. I'm going to throw the v3 fix onto it and see what happens.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
This is gonna sound silly, but did they happen to fix the FM radio volume issue? It is something small but I used it everyday on 2.1 while I was at work.
[Milestone XT720 General] c_urbanek:
nope.. radio not fixed.. neither is the media button.
[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
Any word on USB tethering?
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
Good job, how about dexter's ramdisk?

Cause, as i remember there is folder "Dexter" in ramdisk.. some sort of signature of him.

Haptic feedback?

Maybe it's are coming from helping apps like soundback kickback e.t.c. from 2.1 ?

How about magnificator screen?

How about ram leaking?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It's essentially stock221v13 (including the old /system/oc and ramdisk.tar). There are only a few non-cosmetic modifications (different Browser.apk, different /system/etc/apns-conf.xml, renamed and resigned superuser.apk as su-signed.apk,dalvik.vm.heapsize set to 28m in /system/build.prop).

For me, the big news is that Cincinnati Bell is officially supporting this and taking responsibility for warranty repairs from Motorola. Next week people can take their phones into the Cincinnati Bell stores and the employees will install it. It's great for less technical users.
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
How about framework.jar?

Maybe they have edited something?

10 mins before mirror to 100mbit server... =)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Nope. Identical.

Moto - i won't buy from you everything.

Yes, you already left mine country.. because Russians don't buy your phones..(only 1% in country).

So,moto is only one android "grand" developer, that have bad reports...

Because of this. You may only be pattent throll.. no more.

BTW, will add to rusmod build.prop, apns-conf and browser...

Will see, maybe they fixed something that make rom leak... in browser.. =)

After some tests - will report.

I one of the first posts somebody said that they where close to using the 2nd-boot hack. How is it going with that then? If we can use that than we can run CM7 or not??

No progress at all.

No gsm module..

If you need Motorola Milestone XT720 WI-FI edition - you may use it..

But i think that not an option

So disappointed!

If you wish, you may use rusmod v.1.18.

I make patch with biggest change in cbw... build.prop.

[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Thanks fjfalcon! Going to give it a try!
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
If you want a ROM like this one, I recommend rusmod. The reality is this is a very old ROM. There's not much new here and if there is, we'll adopt it. The value is to non-technical Cincinnati Bell customers and ammunition for embarrassing Motorola in public.

It may not have been an accident it was released today (start of holiday weekend in US). Possibly they expect Motorola to take the bait and make a DMCA claim to have Cincinnati Bell stop distributing it. *popcorn*

[HTC Sensation] larsn84:
Hi

I'm having troubles getting into HTC Hub.

I previously used HTC Hub at my Desire HD, but it seems there is an error in HTCsense.com, which won't allow me to log in with my new Sensation. I tried making a new account, and talked to HTC hot line, but nothing seems to work :confused:

I can log in at HTCsense.com from my computer, but it tells me to log in from my phone. When I log in from my phone, it says "check email and password" and I tried the recover function, but after this, it too says "check email and password"

Has anyone else experienced this?

I had no problem with the DHD, so I'm a bit confused, why I can't get it to work, as I am no noob, as I get a new android phone every 6th month, and I work a lot with rooting and custom ROMs. Therefore, this really anoyes me, when it is supposed to be so simple.

best regards
[HTC Sensation] davidguate:
I have the same problem.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] pzylo:
Hmm, that's just weird. Cuz I had no problems whatsoever to create an account with my phone. It worked right away.
[HTC Sensation] mpjohns3:
It was posted that this was the reason for the release being the 15th instead of the 8th. HTC is still working on making the hub available for the sensation so they asked T-mobile to hold off a week. It's somewhere in the post asking if any T-mobile stores were selling it early and that Walmart is. There are like 60 pages in that post though, I'm not sure where exactly it is, but the issue should be solved in the next week.
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
i think htcsense.com is down for maintainance, at least thats what it says when i try to log in online
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
If you are getting a "wrong username / password" error try either adding or removing the country code in your phone number. Here in the states remove or add the one
[HTC Sensation] zahashingo123:
mine wasn't working for a while saying incorrect email or password.

then i treied the forgot password thing and gave me this totally different password so i guess with all the fixing of the website some passwords got messed up.

so just try the forgot password thing and you should be able to login again

i just tried it
