OOPs Yep that's why lol. It worked and rebooted. Wow 160mb free! Sweet deal!

Yeah ext3. Now I just fastbooted the kernel and it is stuck at the M logo. Twice in a row it gets stuck. looks like it's not working. Should I try a different kernel?

**EDIT**boot.img booted... 78mb free right at startup... have about 70-80mb free when killing apps using autokiller at strict setting

***It settled down to about 50-60mb free with no apps running.

***My apps restored but most forceclose when try to open. Just uninstall and reinstall and it's fine.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
just want to share some commands, with which some checks are possible

1. to see at which oom_adj value there is running programs:

/$ cat /proc/*/oom_adj | sort | uniq
-12
-16
0
1
2
7

2. to see which programs are with oom_adj above specified.

/$ for i in /proc/*; do if [[ -e $i/oom_adj ]]; then if [[ `cat $i/oom_adj 2>/dev/null` -gt 3 ]]; then echo `cat $i/cmdline`; fi; fi; done
com.google.android.apps.maps:LocationFriendService

take a lookat -gt 3, that mean oom_adj is greater than 3 (can be any expression)

from the 1. i have discovered barely application which are running and their oom_adj is above 7. e.g. most of the time, the lowmemory settings are trying to satisfy the 4-th slot...

/$ cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
0,1,2,7,14,15

So i decided to make sure that the value at the 4-th slot will satisfy the dalivk.vm.heapsize

in examples (my current state):

/$ getprop | grep heap
[dalvik.vm.heapsize]: [30m]

/$ cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
3072,4608,9216,10752,12288,12288

as usually my phone is fluctuating between adj values 2 and 7 (e.g. slot 3 and slot 4), i try settings for slot 3, so that the heapsize can fit into it..

still experimenting through...

when i start maps, it is foreground and oom_adj value is low (1), when i hit home, it changes to 8, and some time after that is purged from the memory

it is funny:) to play around and look what exactly happens with the memory

p.s. btw, my previous settings was: dalivk heap size 36 MB, and slot 3 in minfree was 22MB, and slot 4 was 32 MB. google maps was very sluggish (actually right after booting the phone was ok, but after some time becomes sluggish as snail ). With the above settings feels much better

Il test and report tonight and all week end :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Free ram seems to be doing pretty good staying at about 70mb and keeping apps closed. Seems to have more snap to it, everything is working great, I think.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Excellent!

One thing I notice is that it's using /system/sd for the ext partition. That's not a problem, but if we could maybe make it more familiar to the other XT720 ROMs by creating a /sd-ext directory (either in /system/bin/sh_hijack.sh or /system/etc/rootfs/init.rc|init.mapphone_umts.rc) and darktremor is supposed to prefer that. Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Wow cool! glad I can help a little! lol. Now It seems the only issue I'm really having or noticing is I get email but the email app isn't sending notifications. And minor issues with contacts, nothing that I really notice or that bother me. Occasionally a window pops up and says email closes unexpectedly. I wonder if an update to install it would fix it? seems a lot of apps need reinstalled then work fine.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
And how about swap?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
boot5.img causes the M logo to freeze at bootup. I got boot.img to boot but doesn't seem to be boosting it any.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Can you try running: "a2sd swappy99" and see if that changes anything?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Mioze you are everywhere. How many computers/ phones do you have going right now? Are you working in this thread while your CM6 load is booting up and vice versa.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Ok so the stuff Mz suggested work great so far, ..

Im still testing but this seems really solid...

I think APN manager brakes the ROM...

Every time i install APN manager the phone nerver reboots again...

im looking into it
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
i tried it didn't change anything, then tried rebooting to boot up without swap kernel to see what it does and now it is in an M logo bootloop. doing a battery pull... Now stuck at M logo freeze...booted back up without kernel and seems to always start off with 80mb free ram via go launcher task widget.

Trying boot2.img its booting... it made a 10mb difference, it booted with 88-90mb free, boot.img always started off with 80mb free...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Boot2.img working

It made a 10mb difference at start 90mb and it shows about 85mb free after killing apps. Also as Mz said I think, apps are moving to sdcard and not ext3 as I noticed my sdcard free space took a good hit lol.

I guess I will try boot3 and boot4.img?

**EDIT** just killed apps and it boosted to 90mb free so it shows 85-90mb free with boot2.img
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I have two XT720's now--one for heavy dev and one for stability. I think one thing we may have to be careful about is the darktremor scripts probably don't anticipate swap support appearing and disappearing between boots.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
boot2.img is the one for now

Boot4.img is the same as boot.img, 80mb free. The only one that makes a difference is boot2.img, 90mb free. Boot3 causes M logo freeze just like boot5.img.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I dled the XT720 Stock Special and placed it in my SD card. It appears there on my sd card (whether on my comp or on phone) but for some reason when I boot up into recovery and select restore, it's not there (it's in the same nandroid-openrecovery- as all the other ROMs on my sd).

What's the problem?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
you have to rename it without the spaces. O.R. don't recognize the spaces.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Thanks, that did the trick :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
boot2.img most "clean", i mean in future versions i tryed to add support to tv-out, so i added many drivers that we don't use.

So i recommend to use boot2.img.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Manually adding the APN also cause it not to boot, removing all other APN from file exept mine fixed the issue, maybe to many APN in config???

Working now im trying to update new market and gettting FC trying to fix permisions now see if that helps..

Yeap was the permisions got New market running its sweet :D

heheheheheh Thanks Mz great find great patch this is going final this week end :O
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
swap works, swappiness should be set.

get bootloop after a2sd reinstall.

Will try to format ext3...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
We got a Winner!!! lol

Yep if it was left as is now I would be pretty happy, it's damn near perfect as is! Only problems I see left is email stopping unexpectedly and email notifications, gmail is fine. And contacts. The only problem I have with contacts is when i pick the name of who I am calling or texting, it only lists the phone number without the name. And rare PLMN registration failure, don't know how big of an issue that is. Scored close to 1600 again on full benchmark test! Oh and maybe a little work on swap.

Ram seems to stay pretty organized if that makes sense lol.

And Overclock keeps its setting! Great find and Awesome work team!

**EDIT**

I forgot I guess we need to fix ext partition? Or go without?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Ooops double post... well i might as well say something lol

So it seems we got us a good one, maybe perfect but every time I think that and i think this is gonna be my keeper BAM another kickass ROM pops up! lmao!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Nope, will reflash nandroid...=(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
i set EXT4 and wow nice :D

Boot2.img is F$%^ing fast man nice jorb :)

EDIT

Don't use EXT4 it dont work >:(

Yes please do i like being able to screw arround in my sd-ext partition,
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
well Ext3 is fine

Swap is on with boot2.img

Man i love this i can finally flag the apps i want to saty in internal and move what i want shaweeeet!

Ok, black screen after reboot from commands:

will wait until get mine cofe and hardreboot...

after battery pull phone loaded, looks like all works.

Thanks...

btw, where is darktremor script databases?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think it creates dot-files in /data. The output of "a2sd help" has some details.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
An easy way to change the mount from /system/sd to /sd-ext is just to create an empty /system/etc/rootfs/sd-ext directory. I did that using root explorer and rebooted (I set rwxr-xr-x permissions). "a2sd check" now says it uses /sd-ext.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] oddo1907:
any link for Singapore SBF??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
EXT3

I did what you said it doesn't appear it worked. Should mount point be checked with a star? or can you tell me what it will say EXT3 works? Maybe I need to repartition my sdcard clean?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
If you browse your phone internally to /sd-ext do you see anything like a lost+found folder ?

I think that means it work my friend
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah but my apps took a big chunk out of my fat32 lol. I still have them in ext3 from last rom, I didn't repartition. So I don't know how to tell but it seems they are using space from my fat32. I might format and start over I guess.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Try "a2sd reinstall" i think that should move all to sd-ext

I hope.... Maybe nandroid first man

BTW, Mz, i am testing GUI seems good so far... no issues, Boot5.img for fast boot something broken in boot2.img with Cam...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Just took my first pic with cam without fastboot kernel and it took the pic, went black for a sec, then rebooted. So maybe something wrong with cam besides boot kernel? Boot5 was the first one I tried and kept getting stuck at M logo so i thought it wouldn't boot, just got it to boot now so we'll see...

But been trying Multicon app. it quadruples the number of app icons for your homescreen I think that may be what is causing the reboot. Just tryin to see what this baby can handle lol....Rebooting after each time the homescreen finishes populating so got to ditch the multicon I have 4 rows of 4x4 apps so for sure that was my cause. Camera seems a little laggy first couple then seems to be ok after it warms up with boot2.img just took about 20 pics. and wow just killed apps with my go task widget and showed 96mb free. Haven't tried boot5 enough to know if it can compete but I do know none of the other boot kernels can't...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Well i remeber something about first pic almost always kills the phone... some bug with file parsing but boot5 is really fast and works well after first crash... im Trying to install plants vs Zombie naow

Edit

PVsZ Full speed :O 1000mhz 74 Vsel OMFG i love this rom... :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
After deleting my multicon madness i was making on my main homepage it's back to running great again. I didn't think extra icons would make it freak out that bad. But I got my homepages with all the cool widgets and stuff and it's freakin super smooth and fast. I'm still using boot2 haven't had any issues with it been using it since yesterday morning. I will have to give boot5 a try. I don't know, boot5 causes reboots and M logo freezes for me. boot2 hasn't done that for at least a whole 24 hours.

I got out of hand saving nandroid backups, I had 6-7 in O.R. lol. I think that's what took a chunk off my fat32. deleted all of them and making one good backup from this awesome specimen :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I'm pretty sure the way to interpret that is that your ext partition is now mounted at /sd-ext (it was /system/sd before) and it also says that it's mounted as ext3.... so you win!

I repartitioned my SD card and A2SDGUI works now (I only had the one fat partition before). I think it's because the a2sd scripts expect to see at least the second partition and some functions crash when it's not present. So, if you have an ext partition I think A2SDGUI works.

Anyone else experiencing problems with stock android keyboard and SwiftKeyX?? Stock keyboard often forces close and SwiftKeyX doesn't like WhatsApp. When using WhatsApp via SwiftKeyX and I type a word wrong and want to delete the last letter, I push the arrow-button for deleting last letter. But instead of deleting the last letter, the word is written again and again and again...... curious problem. Help??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I gotta say bud, there isn't anything wrong with this ROM except email notifications and minor contact issue and maybe swap can get sorted out a little better but I'm not having any issues worth complaining about. I don't use swiftkey, just using the android keyboard. This ROM is Amazing!!! :D My opinion, don't take my word for it! lol

**EDIT**

Maybe another issue, anyone notice it taking a bit long to recover from unplugging from usb connection?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Curious. ;-)

Already had the problem with SwiftKeyX and WhatsApp in steelepicblue from khal... But I just did everything from scratch.. First flashed Singapore 2.1, then xda special. I don't have any idea what could cause this problem. This is making me crazy. Only Russian keyboard works, but I don't like it..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Did you flash the stock special with Mz's new updates? Not the mean green one

**Maybe another issue, anyone notice it taking a bit long to recover from unplugging from usb connection?

**OH and gallery options are way too tiny, when you click on a pic and want to send it or something. i think that's my biggest issue, it is a real task trying to pick an option lol. Yeah gallery and media gallery needs some work. any suggestions?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
First I had flashed stock Singapore 2.1 without any modifications... Then I flashed fjfalcon's xda special, I think it is named something like Xspecial_h_Alfa or so...wait a second I'm gonna look exactly what ROM I flashed...

EDIT: ROM name is correct now :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Wo, no bud, its the second set of downloads on the first page called The XT720 special stock beta. then you want Mz's updates under that. you need to follow Mz's instructions. Also the ROM comes with spaces in the name, you have to rename it without spaces to get it to appear in O.R.

** Maybe this ROM is worthy of a new thread with a new Nandroid here soon
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Okey gonna try to flash XT720 special stock beta... didn't find mioze7ae's updates? searched first 15 pages in this thread but didn't find them?

one more question : is SMS fixed? I remember someone saying that SMS with 160 chars do not work??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Mz's update is on the first page of this thread, under the stock special. And yes it's got handcent sms with 160 characters. here is Mz's update
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
so I performed this procedure now.. first impression , the look is exactly like 2.1 ;)

let's try if this version is working better now with mz's patch and so on :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Gallery fix?

You can apply 3rdstring's Darkfroyo theme it is freakin awesome! But have to follow instructions just right.

***EDIT***

Hey anybody, is there a quick fix or a fairly easy fix or can somebody please fix the gallery? Can we get a gallery from another ROM or something? I always have to send my pics and it is really hard to do with the super small option menu's. Thanks for any help.

**of course just asking I'm not trying to rush anybody I know one of you genius' will get r' done eventually! lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
ugh, setup at the beginning after first boot is always getting force closed -,-

did exactly those 10 steps from mz, including those two updates. wiped data/factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache ..

edit:

setup also gets fc when not doing those updates, only by flashing xt720 special stock beta nandroid ..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I'm not sure what you're describing. I opened Media Gallery and long pressed on an image. A normal-sized menu popped up. I selected send and another normal-sized menu popped up with a list of apps to use to share. I think you're describing minuscule fonts? I see that in some apps, but that's been the case for aeons... I have customized my font, though. That had no effect on the apps that suffer from microtype, though...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Notice across the bottom and top... I can't touch the selection I want because of how small it is. And when I try to choose where to share it, If I choose email, it chooses an option 4-5 spots up lol. it would pick dropbox or something. It's nearly unusuable
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Yes, this happened to me as well. I flashed stock XT720 special and setup FC. I then applied Mz's 2 updates and booted up and also got FC on setup.

Not sure how to get past that screen now so the ROM doesn't work for me...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
That's a shame.. it is nearly flawless for me and the best ROM by far! Don't know how to help ya's.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
There's a trick I picked up once that might solve the problem of setup. If you tap all 4 corners of the screen on setup (where the little android is) it will skip entire setup. I'm not sure it will work since I remember trying it on a 2.2 ROM without it working, but it's been working on 2.1 for me.

I might try soon.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
No, did not work. :(

Got someone to send me a text and I was able to pull down notification bar to enter messaging. However, trying to reply or go to homescreen just leaves me with black screen after that...

I'm going to install the ROM from Xspecialalfa instead of 2.1 and see if that changes anything.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Screenshots

Here are my bad screenshots with the shrunken option menus

Here's my good screenshots!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
That theme is great... I just wish all the orange accents were blue

XT720 Stock Beta 2

Stock beta 2

http://www.mediafire.com/?ie8507b78t918b7

Has all the latest goodies and more I think this is the last stock one i am putting out.

Very stable and fully functional!!

Has all the latest tricks and goodies thanks to Mioze7Ae

for the a2sd trick love it I included the GUI, everything works even the weird formatting.. issues are gone.

I wanted to include peshovec Min free settings but i got lazy, Minfree does a good job but i did include his SDcard fix, works great for me!

Haven't tested email notification tho so still beta 2.

Have fun :) working on a final Mean green now :D

Edit this ROM has new Market >;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Aww Hell! I mean awe HellMonger! Wasn't expecting that to come out of nowhere! Thanks a lot bud! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! :D LOL
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Thanks, my other tricks didn't work. And then I tried updates on XspecialAlfa and got stuck on bootlogo. So this is definitely good timing lol.

Going to try now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Ha, epic boot animation... really looking forward to your next theme

Just booted up and no set up FC. Tyvm :D

Going to play around with this.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I can't reproduce that, but I'm pretty customized away from hellmonger's original. I'm about to start with v2 and I'll check before I do anything.

Got the ole reboot and stuck at M logo again. Also apps don't move to ext can you post the commands we need to enter? And which boot.img do you recommend?

Battery pulled 3 times now and still stuck, guess I need to reflash...

I just wiped dalvek and cache, then went ahead and installed the DarkFroyo theme then wiped dalvek and cache again rebooted now it made it past the M logo....

And wow started up with 90mb free ram without swap kernel....

I entered "a2sd cachepart" that's when it rebooted and got stuck. when i got back all my apps were moved to ext3 so I think I'm good now! this ROM needs a little struggle to get settled at first it seems but it's well worth it! :D

***My gallery menu options are still super tiny and unusuable...and can't longpress on pics to send... but media gallery is fine. it's just gallery that is messed up. not sure why we have both anyway?

***Homescreens all have to repopulate everything when switching back to....sometimes, maybe not...I think that fixed...

And last thing I think, no Email notifications.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
I don't have that problem, prolly related to 3rds theme maybe?

I set up the Min free settings to be a litle agressive you might what to change 16 to 8 in the settings, use Minfree it's a free app, also isint the a2sd gui included with the ROM?>

I like boot 2 and 5 so far 2 is still giving me Cam problems 5 has so frezes when installing ROMs so neither are perfect but both are very functional i have been on 5 for hours now might be related to Vsel setting when installing im looking into that....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Oh yeah didn't think of the theme causing the media issue. It isn't a big deal. Maybe he can help me fix it, or I will be using ole mean green soon anyway. So I think the only issue I really have then is the email notifications. I was just givin a rundown of the little things, none of it is a big deal. Thanks dude, I know I appreciate your guy's work. Can't wait to try mean green. or shall we call it the Incredible Hulk? lmao. :p
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
