Thanks, just a lil hesitant to change it, I still don't know what caused all the issues with my SDcards before but seems fine now.

So any word on that phone.apk? Is it for searching and selecting network manually? I know sometimes when I am out of my area I need that feature to get reconnected again, at least it helps.

Are you using any themes brianli? Are you doing anything different besides just the update.zip? Thanks alot bud for helping us.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rmimo:
Hello falcon to you have an howto for the translation i will make one for german and italian
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Yes, New version of phone.apk can change network manually,R-D said needs it. You can give it a try, It should be working fine.

I change themes sometimes, All themes I make is a update zip file,so can change themes freely.

brian, does bravo rom support SWAP on motoroi.? if yes, how.? i've tried the fastboot on other tutorials for xt720 but none of them work on motoroi. . .
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Bravo has been great the last few day's no more crazy disappearing acts! lol. Everything seems to be running good, been playing games like samurai and need for speed and cut the rope with no problems but the benchmark test scores very very low, about half from what I am used to with Khal's ROM's. It only scores close to 800 but doesn't seem to be a major issue since the games are running fine. It would be nice to give it some performance tweaks, not sure what Khal did with his ROM's but they always seem to work well. Maybe it is fine the way it is with the low score, it seems to be at least. Anyway I am happy now my niece will love it!

I did change my ext3 to ext4 as well and so far so good. It's a relief finally lol.

***Also I pushed the phone.apk thru openrecovery/apps/system after deleting the original one and really don't see or notice any change? Has anyone else tried it?

Thanks brianlee for sharing your great ROM I say Bravo bud! lol

***I ran quadrant overclocked to 1100 and only scored 768 by the way. it seems our phone and bravo should surely be higher.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
well, scores can be tricked!! the roms have a score over 1000, they all trick!! none of performance's business. They use scripts in build.prop, make benchmark software bypassing many hardware decode testes, but, benchmark software don't "notice" that,it should be a bug. the result is "used time" will be much shorter, and ofcourse, scores goes very high. But, nothing improve in performance.

kernal, android version, virtual machine, these are the major factor of performance.My sugession is ignoring quadrant scores, becourse it matters nothing.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

you need put swapon scripts in your phone by yourself, every rom can make swap, by the way.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah you know more than I do so you're probably right! lol. I flashed a different kernel on my nexus that is supposed to enhance performance and it seems it does when running quadrant, it jumps my score from about 1300 to close to 2500 but can't tell any difference when using my phone with and without the kernel. (well since it is the kernel maybe it does improve) I knew it didn't matter with Bravo at least to me since I could still do all the things like play games without any interruptions. Thanks buddy

***Ps you know that's pretty cheesey if it's true, trickin ROM's to make them look good lmao. If that is true I commend you Brianlee cause that is just not right! lol
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Khalpowers and Xavwanted didn't play games like that -- they're mostly just adjusting the default minfrees and disabling software GL rendering and occasionally replacing the OMX (multimedia) libraries with never versions. I haven't seen any XT720 ROMs posted here that "cheat". So, unless you were cheating in the past, if Bravo is slower it's likely a real regression. The most noticeable performance tweak on XT720 is disabling the software renderer in egl.cfg -- you can feel the difference.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Oh I just woke up I totally didn't intend that for any of our developers I really didn't think you guy's would do that, maybe others outside of here is what I was thinking. I do know your's and Khal's ROM's I usually scored around 1600 on quadrant which is about double Bravo. And I could tell a difference. I do know there is a way people trick the scores to get outrageous high scores, but not on our ROM's here.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
thanks,mz. I don't mean anyone would do it just for score, I know they all want to make the phone more comfortable.

I mean quarant test score is not a meticulous thing, for now. moto stock have a scores like about 620, I read a post of yours, some tweak can make it better up to a score 640, I believe that.

But talking about 1100, I don't think so. It must be some tweaks just for the scores only, like media.stagefright.

I'm always be thankful to those who dedicated their time to xt720, Just dicuss scores only.:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Your score are low because of video_decoding.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I never thought of running quadrant on 2.1 so I just did and it scored a whopping 492 lol. Just for shigs and gittles HaHa. I think bravo is fine the way it is with only scoring around 700, and besides it might help battery life I don't know. I was just curious since I'm used to seeing at least 1100 scores.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
yep, and that is the point. why more decode performance ends up less scores? bravo's video decode performance is same as stock's system, it can even hardware decode 720p H264@baseline mp4 video.

That is because I said quarant testes are not meticulous now.;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
It is well known that I can't stand Quadrant bc it is so easy to tweak and pull fake scores. I've been using SmartBench for awhile and it seems cleaner, but the best way to test is by actually using this dynamic hunk of metal.

Easye420 had a thread (in the General I think) where he pulled a 6000 and made up this whole story, but somebody let it out if the bag before he could tell it. It was funny really.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I don't believe that quadrant is as inaccurate as everybody says. I can tell that by the scores I get with the different ROMs and now my nexus. I think it is a very good benchmark to gauge the different ROMs. I think its pretty darn accurate. LOL. Good example is coming from bravo 2.2 to my nexus s 2.3. 600-700 score with bravo with 256mb RAM to about 1300-1400 with my nexus s stock with 512mb RAM. Then flashing a new kernel it doubles and the performance doubles. And fastbooting on the xt improves the score. So to me thats accurate enough. Seems we always discuss this when quadrant is mentioned LOL. I don't buy it! Lmao

***Edit

I guess what I really meant to say is quadrant scores are accurate as long as the ROM is accurate and don't have any bogus type tweaks to make quadrant inaccurate. Cause judging the difference between the stock 2.1, stock 2.2 and stock 2.3 ROM's it shows to be pretty accurate. And especially the doubling in the score from a 256mb RAM and a 512mb RAM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
If you use same tweak, It means something, that might be true.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mikekop:
I need to give Brianlii a GREAT BIG THANKS! for this rom, so far I'm loving it! Thanks to those who helped with the updates and stuff too! I'm missing some stock apps, mainly Clock and News & Weather, since I use the phone as night desk clock. I had the clock app in a TB backup, but not News & weather. Can someone put up that apk, or both if someone else misses them?

Thanks again!

hi brian, is there any chances that tv out would work.? because we don't have yet an HDMI tv :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
K random issue im having now.... I cant install anything from market I keep getting this stupid "Package File is invalid"

Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Did you check to see if your sdcard is working proper? I had a nightmare of issues with my sdcard failing and not reading or writing. I could scan and fix it and try again and it would fail again. Still don't know the cause but I was running Bravo. All seems ok now for now (I hope)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Is this happen just after the installtion or not? if not, you need to think about what you have done very carefully, otherwise, I don't know what is going on.

And speaking of issues, The problem of missing account, I think it is exchange sync causes it. when you use email.apk to sync your contacks,that means you are using google exchange account. and after you add a new contact or any changes in contacts, you will lost your company account in settings, and all your contacts are gone.

But, if you are using google account to sync contacts and calendar, It wouldn't be any problems.

So, I suggest everybody use google account instead of company account(exchange) to sync your contacts, calendar and album.

sorry ,bud, I just have one phone, and I'm running testes now, damn, after 103 hours on, Batt still got thirty percent left. unbelieveable and it takes so much time.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Similya:
i've also encountered that problem and for me this is what i have observe. . .

after applying the update "update-bravo1.6Mz-20111005-1636.zip" the root of my phone was gone, even if i re-root it, rooting would say successful but the phone is this not rooted (or maybe the root is restricted) and that is where i encounter "Package File is invalid" even if i downloaded it in the market or install it from sdcard.

what i've done to fix this issues is. . .i revert back to the old update which is "update-bravo1.6Mz-20110927-1220.zip" i hope that the download link of this is still available. After applying that update and re-root my phone, it works ok now. I can install again any apps.

I don't know why it goes like that but, that's how solve it.

Hope it helps.

it's ok brian i understand, and i hope someday it will be fix. I'm also trying to learn how to port and develop android os, I hope i can do it so that i can give contribution to this rom. I hope that other devs would help improve this rom. So far this is the best.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

i found an issue in the contacts or dialer or messaging. here in our country we always use the network prefix with zero like this: 09231234567 <--- that is the official cellphone number format in our country. So if i input only: 9231234567 <--- that is now a different format and there's no way you can contact that number without the zero (except for the international codes like +1 +965 or +63)

Now the issue goes like this. I save my own number in the phonebook. at first i use the correct format with zero and added a contact picture of my self. My contact picture should be present in the messaging whenever i send a text message to my own number.

After receiving the text msg my contact picture didn't appear. by default my carrier always inserts the international code before my number. Like this: +639231234567

So inside the inbox of my messaging, i have two entries in threaded mode, the message i've sent and the message that i have receive. Both still has no contact picture.

I edited my contact info and remove the zero, like this: 9231234567

now the contact picture appeared only in the send message which uses that kind of number format without the zero and the receive still has no contact picture bec. it uses the +639231234567 format.

So i've concluded that the contacts or dialer or messaging it only determines only one set or format of number (correct me if im wrong) The correct way should be that, it should display the contact picture and identify the number whether if it has an international code, or the number has a zero beginning in the prefix. The last seven digits should be determined and be use as basis.

This issue also applies when calling.

Sorry for my bad english or grammar. And I hope my message is understandable. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
I figured out how to fix it :P

Its after the market updates.

iono why or what happend but i went into AOR and cleared the cache & dalvik and fixed permissions thing.

Rebooted my phone BAM. worked.

Hope this helps.

*EDIT*

I also formated my sd card... all these partions and swap is just a pain in the ass.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
No matter what I do I can't get control background data turned off and it's getting aggravating lol. I know how but it's not working. Any advice?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
I know the number compare strickly issue, I had try to change it to loosely by editing framework-res, but fails. For now, you should remove the country code in your contact's number, because, you don't need it when you make a call in your country, right?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Trying to update maps And some other apps and it saying not enough space. I have 142mb internal left and about 5gigs on external. I have about 90 apps on my phone. I can post my sdcard info tomorrow but wonder what the issue is?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
How much space on the /cache partition?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
That is what I was thinking. With 90apps the Dalvik has to be close to full. Maybe get rid of some of those or if not, then get rid of some of the /system/apps.

TBpro has a Clean Dalvik in the "more" settings so you don't have to boot into recovery to do it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah that's probably it, but it's all the apps I am used to having, well except I have been picking up a few more here and there for free lol. I guess with a2sd I can't use my internal space huh? I have never really had to fool with it or worry about it before so I really never had to manage it. But with 142mb of internal space left I would like to think I have more room to Hoard! Lmao.

Thanks guys I think I have some junk I can get rid of lmao

***I see the option to move user apps to internal, can I do that without messing up a2sd?

***Really I thought since my apps go to sdcard I could pretty much have as much as I wanted?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
The apps can and do go to the SDcard partition. It is the /cache partition that is filling up I think. That is where the Dalvik is held for each and every app. IIRC the older version hack that we used to do, app2sd scripts, had the /cache on the SD which was nice, but you could not take out your SD or the phone would become unresponsive until you put it back in. Kind of a "you got this card partitioned and filled a bit, not it is the only one you can use" type thing.

Pretty sure (I don't use it) that Link2sd can move /cache to sd within the app, but like I said, I don't use it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
So what about moving some apps to internal using T.B.? will they stay and not cause any issues? We should have some apps on internal anyway right? And if not then whats the benefit of having all that space without ever using it? I'm being a little noobish on this issue lmao. Like I said I really never fooled with it and just depended on a2sd.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I think the aps2ext feature links the /data/app directory to the sdext/app directory & the phne then looks at the sdext/app as internal space. I think TBs move to internal/external options are talking about native froyo aps2sd. If you want control over what gets put on the sdext vs internal memory you need to use the links2sd app.

BTW this is one of the reasons I prefer Mioze / fjfalcons CM ROMs. The dalvik for system apps is moved to /cache but the dalvik for data apps stays on /data & the cache partition will have more free space.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
That is what always kills me when I see people post their partition sizes as 600mb or 1g. There is no way you can fill that much space up with overloading some other partition ie /cache and have a "good experience" and not wast space. Whenever I partitioned it was always around 350+/- and still think that was too much. But i did that much for the reason that the apps take on maybe 150-200 if that, but moving the /cache will add on another 60-100. So 350 is plenty with 60-80 apps. To me anything over a generous 500mb is just waste space that I could be putting music or videos on that FAT-ness.

TB's move to SD is the native Froyo app2sd, think it is in there b/c TB is supposed to be an all-in-one type app. I have never used it for no real reason, just haven't.

I liked that feature of the split cache on MZ's CM6. Think it helps with overall snappiness too.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I hear ya's, this is for my niece I am running fjfalcon's on my XT. So I guess i will have to just uninstall a lot of un-needed crap. I just didn't think I would run out of space when I have 5gigs on external and a barely touched internal lol. It would be nice to use some of that internal space but I think she will be better off with a2sd, heck I don't know lol. So if I decide to use link2sd now how would I do it? Or if someone has an idea of what move would be best for her i would appreciate the advice. Thank you very much good buddy's!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Is she tech saavy? Is she really going to use those 100apps? For the past few months I had been using the native Froyo app2sd and haven't really run into any issues with it on my wife's phone. On my XT I was using the app2ext scripts and didn't have a real problem with /cache filling up, but I deleted a ton of bloat so that made up a large amount of free space. When my wife's XT sputtered out and I gave her mine, I just left my SDcard in there with all my apps, added in her few that she uses and called it good.

Aside from the obvious differences between my wife and your niece, are you going to maintain her XT for her? If not, I would suggest maybe getting her to use the "general public friendly" native app2sd function of Froyo and let her enjoy that. If she doesn't know what she is doing and somehow opens up the Supercharger script mgr and hits something "to see what it does", it could cause problems that you'll have to troubleshoot. Or maybe spend the day showing her the ins and outs of the phone and what not to do with some things.

Hi,

I have been facing two Issue's since I flashed this ROM.

1) Yahoo Mail does not connect with the email application on Bravo2.2. (How can we replace the email.apk with one from a different ROM ? Could anyone please guide me through?)

2) Applications from market constantly give the following error "Package File Invalid" while installing (almost all), please could someone suggest a workaround?

***Nope doesn't work, Dang, just making all these posts for nothing lol. Oh well. I tried! I need it fixed as well. I know Khal's ROM's email's work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
IIRC this was a problem in Hellmonger's ROM too. Maybe B_E_N or Zachary57 was having that same issue with the exchange, although I think that there was they were trying to get INTO the exchange server. I am thinking that I you can pull the email.apk (com.android.email.apk) out of that ROM and put it in /system/app of this ROM and reboot (wipe cache and dalvik), I bet it will work b/c they are base on similar builds.

Think this is happening b/c your apps that you are trying to download are "signed" with your ROM. Take Facebook for instance. If it is all cool looking and blacked out, it is b/c it was decompiled, tweaked, signed and recompiled to fit your ROM. Go into /system/app and move it out of there (I keep a folder for these on my SDCard) or TB and uninstall it, Reboot wipe cache and dalvik, then go to market and install Facebook from there and it should work, albeit won't be themed.
