[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Lol, just curious because when I bought it I knew nothing about android. I was using an old nokia 6500 and had no concept of smart phones what so ever. I thought maybe I should shift from nokia so I checked the motorolla website and saw the XT720. It looked sexy, and sleek plus the 8 mp camera. Anyways some of the users know alot about android and phones in general. If I knew what I know now, I probably wouldn't have bought the XT720.

So what made you buy it?
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
The pice. I knew about the problems of Android, and i knew that Moto wouldn't supply Froyo for the xt720. But i got it (i think becaouse of the support) for ca. 230€), so it was a real deal. I refuse to pay 500-600€ for a phone.

I always hoped someone from the community would be able to hack the phone, and they did!

Great job to all btw.!!!!!

when i swap my i3gs with xt on july last year i dont know anything about android..i swap because i saw hdmi thingy and xenon flash..:)..but after 5 days , im just noticed about bootloader locked from net then im looking all android forum and no support for xt at that time..wtf :eek:...luckily im using linux and i knew android based on open source so i just go for it...start rooting by adb then apply app2sd using milestone telus method, install ms overclock...from there i start porte theme from others rom..:) ..now i can say my xt much better than htc desire or i3gs,,:p
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Thats awesome. I really like the Nexus S I might get that or which ever version next! I'm also new to linux, been using ubuntu for a few months since 10.10. Im not much a computer geek but I can find my way around. Did you have any computer education? Or was it a personal hobby? If its the latter could you point me in a good direction for beginners using linux and who want to learn programming and basic android stuff?
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Definately the price. it was probably the cheapest phone i could get with that kinda specs. although the guy at the shop showed me a defy for the exact same price, i refused it simply for the fact that i liked the xt720's shape a lot and it had xenon flash with 8mp camera. but only a few days after buying xt720, i realised that the defy got a 2.2 update while the xt720 didnt. that made me angry that i was goimg to sit on 2.1 forever and could only download a limited no. of apps due to low internal memory. fortunately there was something called link2sd and i could download apps to my hearts content! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] khalpowers:
you can start with this http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
The reason I bought the XT720 was because I needed a new phone after my HTC Desire broke down (and it tooks weeks before it came back out of repair). I already had my mind set on the XT720 for a long time when it was still announced as the Motoroi. I love the design and the great 8 MP camera and I'm a Motorola-fan so that is what made me buy it :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
my reasons were

- the price

- good camera (didn't know that 720p recordings are that low -.-)

- the awesome look of the xt720
[Milestone XT720 General] Enricosteph:
Same here....

-PricePricePrice 180 € New+8GB SDHC Class 6 :p

-Camera

-Android (...came from HTC´s with WinMob 6.5)
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Damn, why was the phone so cheap for you guys? Did you buy it on contract? Where I live we dont have the carrier concept. You buy the phone and then just buy a sim card. My phone cost friggin 500 $'s
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
1) Price and lack of many other good choices on my network

2) Loved how sleek and awesome it looked

3) Camera with real Xenon flash

EDIT: Good price not with contract but a tab (kinda like a contract in a way I guess)
[Milestone XT720 General] mediaon:
-sexy phone blue color and good design ,i think it looks very unqiue and special

-8M camera 720p recording zennon flash auto focus.

-moto build qulity

-hardware's fine (didn't konw that 256 ram is a weekness for this device)

-fair price

-3.7" screen (not too big to put it into my pocket that's why i like)
[Milestone XT720 General] ktylife:
* 8M pixel camera

* Promise from Official Moto sales man to be upgraded by end- of year 2010 to Froyo

Both proved to be faulty/wrong/sucked. :mad:
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
180??? When did you buy it???
[Milestone XT720 General] Enricosteph:
Last year 180 was very good.....and i mean WITHOUT CONTRACT !!!
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
Okay, the promise was some miscommunication so I can understand your frustrations. But what the hell are you talking about is wrong with the camera? It's by far not a 14 MP-quality or something but hey, for a phone, this is a really good camera and it's really 8 MP (I know 'cause I compared it several times to my Olympus digital camera which has 8 MP too).
[Milestone XT720 General] hotpwan:
Motorolas ROKR E6:D makes me buy this mobile:rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
- The solid built quality of the phone with the blue rubber finishing. I always trust Moto's hardware quality.

- The Xenon Flash (nothing beat it in the dark. not even iPhone. This phone is my favorite night-shooter)

- The good deal from Starhub ($0, exchange with my Samsung Jet for 2 yrs contract + promo package.)

my phone just celebrated its 1st birthday last Saturday, and still, it looks just like I've bought a few days ago. Though I've got an Acer running the latest Gingerbread, I choose my XT occasionally.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I had been "using" an ancient Nokia candybar for years (that blue one Cincinnati Bell gave out for free when they upgraded their network). I'm not a cell phone user, really--I live in email. A friend got an android and showed me the google integration and I suddenly had to have one. This was unfortunately during that window between Google announcing the end of Nexus One but before they announced Nexus S and when the press was portraying the Nexus One as a failed experiment and speculating that Nexus was done for good. Since Cincinnati Bell no longer had the Nexus One, and they seemed to view the XT720 as its successor, I did some research. The Cincinnati Bell salesperson was adamant that froyo was going to be released for XT720 before the end of the year and the display for the phone mentioned flash support. I read about Motorola's locked bootloaders, but I naively assumed this meant that Motorola was demonstrating a commitment to provide a high-quality and secure managed experience on the phone (i.e. I assumed Motorola intended to differentiate itself by providing a high-quality user experience in order to compete with Apple). I never suspected that Motorola would abandon the phone full of security holes. They're f*cking military contractors for chri*t sakes.
[Milestone XT720 General] jigglynuts:
Cincinnati Bells terrible selection of phones made this an easy choice.

Plus HDMI out and 8 MP camera sounded very appealing.
[HD7 General] dacook2:
What would you do if there was a update for mango ?

Will you update your phone the very first second it's open for download ?

or Will you wait to see the feedback from other members and wait few weeks or a even few months ?.
[HD7 General] doesntexist:
I cant see anyone waiting, the features in mango fill so many holes in WP7 as it is at the moment such as multi tasking and improved IE, thats just my prediction anyway on this poll :)

The sooner the update comes out the better, I will update it the second I know its out and will update sooner if it is leaked somehow.

WP7 as it is at the moment is still an amazing OS but there are things that need to be added such as socket support so that developers can make more network rich applications. such as RDP without a proxy in the middle.
[HD7 General] dacook2:
Thank's for the great input.

But personally I will wait till all the bugs are fixed and when i see some more positive feedback from other members after that I will update it.
[HD7 General] DroidFreek:
What if there is no such thing as mango? What if Microsoft is lying to us. Is my Microsoft even Microsoft it could be apples doing. Maybe not even apple maybe its skynet. O my God the worlds coming to an end. Hide your devices download what ever music you need to download illegally.

Naa I'm just messing with u can't wait for mango
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomy1986.nt:
My phone is Vibrant, i want to upgrade to Hydrid SGS 2 JVP 2.3.4 but it has rainbow when it is booting. Then i flashed the bootloader with GB bootloader and it is no more rainbow.

If i want to back stock rom 2.1, do i need to flash Froyo boorloader ? or GB bootloader will be fine if i flash back stock rom 2.1 ?

So i'm confused about that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyvaporizer:
You probably need to odin back to stock

Sent from SGH-T959 (CM7)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomy1986.nt:
what stock stock ROm or stock bootloader ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
In the bootloader thread you are referring to there is the following to be found in the second post....

FAQs:

1. Is it unsafe?

Flashing a bootloader incorrectly technically bricks your phone. So its like having a single shot at what you're doing, you either keep doing it right and shuffle between the bootloaders, or you do it wrong just once, and you might have a dead phone.

2. What ROMs can I use with the GB Bootloader?

You can use any ROM - 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 without needing to alter affect your bootloaders as they are backward compatible. However, DO NOT FLASH OR ODIN the following packages

- ODIN Packages containing only an Sbl.bin

- ODIN Packages containing only a boot.bin

If the package contains both, it would technically upgrade/downgrade your bootloader, hence being safe if they are the correct files.

To further clarify, the standard JFD Odin tar we all use to flash back to stock DOES NOT contain the aforementioned sbl.bin or boot.bin files.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomy1986.nt:
alright , thanks all :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishal:
I just flashed 2.3 EF02 and while it runs great there is no sound no matter how many times I flash and reflash. So I would like to go back to 2.2, now I made a back up of my phone before flashing so can I just clockwork mod recovery to 2.2 or do I need to odin? Please and thank you!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Did u flash the update.zip that was posted in development or did u do the Odin way
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishal:
The update.zip, I found the sound fix there and it broke my home key. So I guess its time to Odin?

Hello XDA,

Its been a while since we last spoke ( I was stuck on Mau5 theme for far too long.) That won't happen again, I promise.

Anywhos, Here is my latest theme. Its called Chroma, and its pretty awesome. There is a free version, and a donate version (to get me to the big android bbq) and they can be found in the market. I've attached the free version with this thread but I suggest market version as that might see more updates.

(note: these screenshot shows older icons, more screenshots will be regularly posted here)

Download:

Chroma (Basic) | Chroma (Donate)

Few wallpapers to match *(alternate url)
​

The free version is a pretty solid theme on its own. With over 450+ images updated, it gives you the general foundation to a great looking unique theme you can show off to your friends. The free version will get sporadic updates, but I'll keep my focus on the donate version mostly because to customize every little thing I tend to do on my themes, it takes time and work.

Here are some of the differences in the two versions (so far).

​

General Info:

-This is made for roms using cm/t-mobile theme engine

-Currently only for HDPI devices, tablet versions might show up later.

-You may need to reboot your device to see everything in its place

-This is still a work in progress, so you will definitely see more updates as time goes on

Enjoy!

More updates on the way! :D
[Android Themes] ddgarcia05:
Seems like the donate version on the market was removed.
[Android Themes] prash:
Hmm nope its still there, I'm assuming people have having issues with the shortned links so here you go:

Donate: https://market.android.com/details?id=sh.pra.chroma

Basic: https://market.android.com/details?id=sh.pra.chromab

Keep in mind this theme requires CM7 or a rom with T-Mobile theme engine to work.
[Android Themes] ykdy:
Great work~~~~~~~
[Android Themes] armyengineer51:
Fantastic!

This is by far my favorite theme, and I think I've tried them all. Are the wallpapers in the donate version? If not, any chance of adding them?
[Android Themes] heyitsme001:
What launcher are you using in the screenshots because after installing the donate version everything changes except for the dock icons. The standard green web and phone icons remain but the cool chroma app drawer button does show up though. Any ideas on how I can get it to look like the screenshots?
[Android Themes] spd2230:
Is injun.org going to be back up soon? I would really like to grab the wallpapers.
[Android Themes] prash:
There should be brand new updates to the donate version and the screenshots are outdated from the main post now I believe. Check out this post on my google+ to get the latest and greatest screenshots as I update the them little by little: https://plus.google.com/115395854124808916911/posts/iasxsYxwPwW

Now to questions:

Wallpapers are provided in the extra zip file linked in the main post (http://db.pra.sh/chromawp.zip) BUT I may replace the ones in cmwallpapers app with my own just so people have more options in the donate version.

I use ADW launcher that comes standard with CM, I've heard of the problem you describe happening to someone else as well, it seems if you're using ADW Ex, try clearing launcher cache and it should pick up the right icons.

I added an extra wallpapers download link in case injun.org acts up sometimes (as its known to do)

Thanks!

Enjoy the theme.

I cant seem to find a way to watch a youtube video and do other things on my tablet such as browse the web or open up another app. Ive tried the youtube app and the website but neither let me multitask and still play a video.

Is it possible to do so?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
i don't believe so

while multi tasking on android; android freezes the app in RAM till you return to it

i believe the only android device that can truly multi task ie watching youtube and emails etc is the Sprint Kyocera but thats a phone

Thanks for the link to Ghosttown..that's a great app. Only one little niggle with it though....

because it takes the video from youtube, it doesn't distinguish between the album versions and the live versions....it won't filter...so when you choose an album...you could get all kinds of versions of a tune, not necessarily the proper one from the album chosen.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
I just got a 10.1 Samsung Galaxy Tab. I uploaded a few videos onto it (game 6 of the nba finals since I havent seen it. I know mavs won, but still want to see the game.) but even a 720p video has a big delay on video display.

It seems like any video that the default player cannot play has the same issues which is very slow video display but no problems with audio.

So I'm figuring that videos simply need to be converted away from H.264 although I am unsure on the best settings to convert to.

What do you guys use to convert?

What settings do you use?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
Check this out:

VidsOpt v0.1.4 (was XYZ2MP4) - Fast Video Muxer/Converter to MP4 for Mobile Devices
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NyPlaya513:
i actually just went and got vplayer which seems to work well with loads of codecs. I am however waiting on a solid build of vlc to be released
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
Vplayer does a much better job at playing it than anything else so far. But it still lags behind.

It's driving me nuts because GSpot says it's only H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and AC3 which are common enough that they should be supported.

I'm trying out the VidsOpt as I type this. First run through resulted in good video playback but no audio whatsoever (even on PC playing it). So I'm troubleshooting that now. Seems like a very good way to convert though. Easy, simple, quick, and yet still powerful. So thanks for the heads up on that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
I haven't seen that one before. If the audio didn't make it through the process, the script would've given an error and abort.

Drop both input and output files onto the script, and enable 'Get video specs only'. Post the specs dump of both. Try a different video.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
Didn't have much time to continue trooubleshooting, but I'm pretty sure it's because it is outputting the audio into 6 channels according to GSpot. Just need to figure out why it is doing so, change it, and test.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
If your PC is set up for surround, try setting it to stereo in your sound/speaker mgr in Control Panel. FFDShow generally uses the system default.

You can also change it in FFDShow Audio Decoder Config, under the Mixer section.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
Checked AviSynth settings as well as reinstalling to the version that comes with ffdshow (checked ffdshow's settings as well). Also used different files.

EDIT: FFDShow settings were set to stereo after I thought that may be why. I will try turning off my extra sound stuff though.

EDIT 2: No go. Also noticed I had my sound set on 24 bit processing and 2mp4 is going to 16 bit.

EDIT 3: Apparently the .avs files in temp are the audio tracks to the videos.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Edit script. Search for this line,

echo DirectShowSource(%1,fps=%_vFPS%,video=false)!_tmp!>"%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"

and change to,

echo DirectShowSource(%1,fps=%_vFPS%,video=false).GetChannel(1,2)!_tmp!>"%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"

There is no space in 'GetChannel'. Not sure why the post is displayed as if there was.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
Can't find that line in my version (0.1.4). Closest to it is this:

set "_tmp=%2"
if defined _tmp set "_tmp=!_tmp:~1,-1!"
echo DirectShowSource(%1)!_tmp!>"%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"
if /i '%vDebug%'=='on' type "%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"

EDIT:

Problem will probably be in these lines.

"%vHome%\avs\bepipe" --script "import(^%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs^)" | "%vHome%\neroAACEnc" -q 0.4 -if - -of "%stemp%\%rnd%aud.m4a" 2>nul
del "%stemp%\%rnd%aud.mkv" 2>nul

EDIT 2: I figured that would be the problem because those avs files were not being deleted after the operation. So I figure the problem is before the import process.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Sorry, I have a slightly different version. OK,

Search for this line,

echo DirectShowSource(%1)!_tmp!>"%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"

and change to,

echo DirectShowSource(%1).GetChannel(1,2)!_tmp!>"%stemp%\%rnd%aud.avs"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
It worked after removing the space after temp. Just noticed you did the same. :O

Letting it finish then I'll see if that fixed it. Thanks for the help btw.

EDIT: Nvm. It fixed your code during reply lol.

EDIT 2: It still happens. Video with no audio and the .avs .m4a and .mkv files are still in my Temp folder. Although 2mp4 now says it is writing in 2-channel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Yeah, not sure why the editor is inserting extra spaces. I'll use the 'Code' format next time.

Hmm, as per 1st reply, drop both the input & output files onto script and do an info dump (view video spec). Post those.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
Nothing I can see from the output. The AAC track is there, and the muxing process went through. Is AAC support enabled in FFDShow Audio Config (check under Codecs)? Did you check the video in the Tab?

The temp aud.mkv file is deleted right after the audio conversion, the rest are deleted at the end of the entire conversion (before the PROCESSING DONE msg is shown). If the script shows that msg, then it finished properly. Not sure what to tell you.

You can try enabling Normalize Audio. After that, try setting Recode video=YES.

If you want, PM me a sample clip and I'll check it out. But honestly, the clip looks pretty normal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kbone213:
It is enabled. I did check the video in the Tab.

I'll figure it out and let you know what ended up working. Thanks for all the help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TheBigSaxon:
Use Freemake!

I use Freemake Video Converter and it is awesome. You point it to a folder with your stuff, select the output format from the tray and determine the resolution and viola it's converted. Depending on what type of box you have and your output file (iPad & Android 1200x600) it took ~15 hours or so to rip 21 seasons of the Simpsons from VOB to MP4. Looks fantastic on both my iPad & GT10.1.

Hi all! The rooting guide of Intratech given here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 DOES NOT WORK! I have an SGS II Kernel version of KE8 (India) and I tried to follow the steps given in the guide, but when I open ODIN and connect my phone in Download mode with my laptop via USB Cable, ODIN is not connecting to the phone. The box meant to turn yellow does NOT change color. Nothing happens at all. Why is this so? I cannot post in the relevant thread because I am a newbie in the forun :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Have you installed kies first to get the drivers?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Yes, of course, I have the latest version of Kies installed on my laptop and I use it regularly to connect with my SGS II. I kept Kies closed when trying the rooting procedure as mentioned in Intratech's guide. Started phone in download mode. Opened Odin on laptop, then connected phone via USB........the box which is supposed to turn yellow on connection, doesn't light up. Nothing happens at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
I suggest to you that the overwhelming majority of the people who use the guide will disagree with you and provide evidence to the fact that it does, indeed, work. The fact that it does not work for you suggest that you are doing something wrong or have a problem with your computer.

I would suggest that you ensure that KIES is also closed in the system tray of your computer before opening Odin and connecting the phone. Also ensure that your computer has an internet connection and is able to connect to windows update to download and install drivers. If that doesn't work then change USB port or computer.

By all means, if you find a way that works then feel free to write your own guide. More information is good and maybe others might find your method, if you discover one, easier to follow.:)
