Yes a stock is being made!

Stuck at M really i have my dalvik on sd-ext and never got stuck at M once are you on etx4?

I have a MMs fix for wind in the make i should upload tonight....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
There will be more themes including a Gingerbread theme in a day or so. There is a thread for CM6 and XDA special themes here
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah, my dalvik is on sd-ext and using ext4. Have you booted without the kernel much? I have been stuck 3 times now and also one stuck plus bootloop. I hope for everyones sake it's just me but it's acting just like before. And I'm sure I do everything right, as I don't ever have this issue with other ROM's.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] queens49:
Since flashing to the Singapore ROM first, it takes about 2-3 tries for it to boot now. It just sits on the Motorola logo. I have an EXT4 partition, but I haven't moved Dalvik or anything.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Now that you mention it, I did only start having the issue since right after I flashed it over top the Singapore sbf. I didn't have the issue over the cbw sbf. That would be good and bad if that's the cause, on one hand it will fix the frozen M issue, on the other it will eliminate TVout function I think. Which i haven't even used yet anyway...

***EDIT and that might explain why not everybody was having the issue, why Mz didn't have the issue...

***Hey hellmonger, I think this keyboard is better for the special, it is GB with bigger keys http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16918741&postcount=193

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] vesko321:
Thak you very much!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I flashed RC2 this past Saturday and went straight from CM6, which was over top CBW SBF and ran it for 2 days with no M freezing or bootloops. I decided to start over from the Singapore SBf yesterday evening. Since then I have had about 4 Boot logo freezes. I am feeling pretty strong about it coming from the Singapore SBF and even crazier theory may be that it is cause the original Special all started from the CBW SBF or some other SBF like it like what ever one you normally use HM? Sounds crazy but I think we have something! lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Just an fyi on this for me too. When I flashed Alfa and Beta it was over CBW and never over Sinapore or Korean and not once did I have the problem of being stuck at M. But also, I don't do fastboot either b/c of my access to PC while at work is not possible and in the beginning it was prone to freezes. I have a spare card now and will work on this one for a bit to see what I get from fresh CBW overlay. (Don't care about tv out so it is not an issue for me- can't have tv out with kids running about and playing)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah see? I bet all who say they never had M freeze were over top Cbw! And the only time I get the M freeze is when I don't fastboot, so may be something to do with the Kernel from Singapore? I could try to boot over and over without fastbooting and it won't boot mostly, but as soon as I fastboot it boots every single time.

***Ps... I wonder if we took my Singapore nandroid and a CBW nandroid and took certain files from the CBW that may cause it and switch it to the Singapore nandroid? A bit of Alchemy or something crazy Lmao! I wouldn't know what files would be different in the two to cause it but it's something! Or it could just be simply cause it all originally got started from CBW Sbf and down the road we decided we needed singapore for tv out.

So maybe it would have been fine if it was Singapore from start to finish, as I thought stupidly mentioned yesterday.

So if this is the reason, we may have 2 choices, start from scratch with Singapore Sbf and see if it works, or just give up on Tv out and flash from cbw Sbf...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
HDMI out works, i never got TV working.

i say stick to CBW or brightpoints SBF...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
you need to have a donate button for your services sir..

I would buy you beer.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
That's fine with me! I just don't have a tv yet with HDMI I'm still old school lol. But I don't have a Tv out cable and prolly wouldn't use it anyway, maybe just to check out and play with. I just thought it would be cool to have the function. But at the end of the day this is a phone we are using and we mostly only use it for the phone functions! Lmao.

But just curious, did you start it all from Singapore SBF or a different one? Nevermind, it don't matter, it would be a lot of work to go thru all that and then to find out it still don't fix the tv out or the frozen M.

So we need to take down the "use singapore sbf" instructions and I take it out of my signature. i am pretty positive it's the issue. Although I didn't have the M freeze with Khals and i think he did start with Singapore and not sure if he had tv out working?

***I am going to flash back to CBW tonight and that will be the ultimate final test since I'm the only one who *****es about it lol. I just shut my phone down and powerd it back up without fastboot to verify one more time and sure enough, stuck at M plus bootloop.

***It's boots up much quicker with CBW
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] abet1017:
I converted my ex2 to ex4 using OR and it is successful... but I double checked the converted partition using mini tool, it detected the converted partition as ex3 and not ex4..... please verify if this problem is an isolated case or not?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gn01222116:
Hi LM, i can tell you that i flashed this rom from singapore sbf, but i didn't get any more M stuck now.

I think the singapore sbf is working fine..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
That's good to hear! Do you ever boot it without the fastboot kernel? I only get M logo freeze when I boot normally...

I am on CBW now so we will see! lol. I hope we all get fixed up
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Use MZor to check if it is ext4. I use minitool also and I don't remember it having option for ext4, only 2&3. But I haven't updated it in awhile either. If you used MZor to covert then go back in and it should tell you what type of partition it is on the same page as the covert tool is located. There is an adb code to check, but I can't remember for the life of me what it is.

Maybe type

Su

Mount

Are you using the dark tremor GUI? It should be able to tell you if ext4 is present too.

Edit: this mobile app autocorrect sux.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gn01222116:
I can boot with or without fastboot.

So far, i only got one black screen occasion when i try to turn on the monitor.

Hope I can help you..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] abet1017:
I used MZor sd utility to convert ext2 to ext4 but when I checked it to mini tool, it detected as ext3. I'm using minitool partition wizard home edition v6.0 and there is option for ext4 in this version.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
So far so good for me too, let me know in a few days if you are still booting ok. But like I said, the only time i have the issue is when booting without fastboot. If we aren't gonna get Tv out to work i will just stay on cbw anyway as long as there's no issues...

I would like to know if Khal got his tv out to work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
yeah ext4 is brand new to version 6 maybe it's faulty, i would check it a different way like woodrube said. I use puppy linux gparted, now that we mention it, I am gonna check mine...

***I checked mine with gparted and it's showing ext4. It's also showing all my apps in in the app folder plus all my apps in dalvik cache is that right? So it's like doubled
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
I hope so. LOL This reminds me of like weeks ago when we were discussing this exact same thing remember LM? Me being on the singapore SBF as base and not having even a single stcuk at M logo using STB2..

So now, curious little me, is gonna try the RC2, just to check and help a brother out in pointing out any bugs.. :eek: (or i've been on CM 6 for so long and am just itching to flash something new.. LMAO!! :D:D)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
You will love it bro it rocks just as much as cm6 but with fm radio! lol. All I know is i was on cbw with special for a few days and wasn't getting any freezes, then i remembered i should have started from singapore so I redid it all, and then my boot freezes started right away. So then someone says today it takes him a few times to get his to boot from singapore so It makes me think singapore is causing it. So now back on cbw to try and prove it! lol.

So jiro make sure you try to boot up sometimes without fastboot to see
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That sounds very, very wrong to me. You have *.apk inside /sd-ext/dalvik-cache/?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
yeah here's shots
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Oh, that's different. I wouldn't have described that as doubled--the one folder has *.apk and the other has *.dex. ;) That's what you should see if you moved dalvik-cache to the sd card. So, I don't think that's a problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah it's just the first time I have seen it like this. It's usually just an app folder. Wanted to make sure. Thanks Mz

***Well i think you all have heard enough outta me for the night lol. Going to bed just want to say been testing the reboots and no freezes so far but still cannot get mms picture messages and when I do get them they will not download. Also not sure if notifications are coming thru, just says new message, I thought they gave a small preview of the message in the notification?

I can't set the chmod-command, it says 'read-only file system'. I also used the swapfix as update but still no effect. I can't activate swap. I use fastboot with boot2.img.

Ok, after reaplying the swapfix several times, it finally worked that the swapon-command is executable, but i still don't get any swap. I reboot in fastboot, but SetCPU shows me no swap...

Testing now my friend...

***Steelblue tested, it mostly worked, it has the stock wallpaper for some reason. I think everything else is ok...

but not sure if I did it right, I wiped dalvik and cache installed theme, then wiped again and installed addon without rebooting first, is that ok?

you apply the swap-fix

it will repeat the command and drop down a line...

Then reboot into bootloader and fastboot then check the a2sd gui app and it still says swap deactivated?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] opiswahn:
yap, i've done it several times, all with the same result... I have no idea what could be the problem here...

**edit**

Ok, since i had no idea where the problem was i just reflashed the whole thing, and tada, now it works! But this time i used Dexters 2.2.1 as the base before the Hellmonger flash... maybe that did the trick...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Well chances are it's something simple wrong, I have flashed the Special from cbw and successfully activated swap then flashed to singapore then special and success swap, then back to cbw/special and successful swap everytime, now I am trying again after reflashing special. So sorry bud if you are following instructions to a tee I don't know what else to tell ya. Maybe reflash without factory reset then try...

Sweet deal! Glad to see you didn't give up! lol

After a less than a minute of hd video recording, the phone rebooted.... and the video taken is corrupted..... I tried to record again and the same result...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah video recording is just awful, guess it always has been. I guess we can't get rid of the lines running thru the videos huh? I was able to record today but the quality makes it not worth it. Xt has always had bad video something Motorola should have fixed.

***I tried testing the video recording a few times today as well and it does cause reboot. picture taking seems pretty darn good though. As I said though the video recording with XT has been a big disappointment since I got the phone. It's a shame.

***It actually seemed to improve the more I used it, I tried ancorder and videocam illusion and they seem to work pretty good.

I'm no professional tester all I can do is share my experience and thoughts lol, but been using video camera for a while now just testing it and not having any more reboots. I just don't want anybody to think I am *****ing or expect too much.

***No more M freezes either so far on CBW Sbf.

***Just tried Vignette camera and it seems to work pretty good, no lines with video recording, quality seems much better. It's a paid app but you can try it for free. If anyone knows of a better one I'd like to hear. been testing a bunch and no more reboots with video cam.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] abet1017:
Video recording on wanhu stock rom is great.. since this rom is based on wanhu I don't understand why there is a problem on video recording?

But still this rom is great.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
MMS?

You know, last special when I didn't have MMS it was cause we were missing the mms.apk. I still can't send or receive pics, I wonder if this could be the issue? Maybe the mms.apk we have? Here is the one I used that fixed mine last time, gonna try it now see if it works...

I know it's probably just me with the issue though so probably not it

Nope didn't fix it.

**Anyway I am receiving them, they just will not download. But I try to send one to myself and it never sends. So i don't know, I will just let it go and see what happens on another release. Everything else is awesome and running great.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
I know you said you already did this but if you are receiving them amd just not downloading then the issue is with your apn mms settings. Although this is obvious, (no offense) but you are on data when trying to download the pics I assume? Just trying to explore all possible issues as it seems you are the only one with this issue, either that or other people just don't bother with mms..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Nobody will answer to whether they are experiencing this or not lol. I only have the mms issues with this ROM. Last time it was cause we were missing mms.apk. I set apn manager, have my background data checked, control background unchecked, apns-conf.xml cbw file in etc, i have good 3g signal, full wifi signal. I can download pics when sent thru email...I called CBW to have my signal refreshed, redid apn settings...

I guess I will delete apn settings and redo them again... I don't want to make a big ole scene if I'm the only one with the issue, I run my mouth too much as it is! lmao
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Hi,

Is there a way to find all apk from the ROM without flashing to try this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8268893&postcount=3

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Check /system/app folder in the rom zip file.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
The problem is that I want to stay in my ROM for the moment because she is translated. So, I want to have system/app into my computer and I can't extract it from system.img file.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
This is for windows.

Unzip the attached zip file and copy the system.img to the unyaffs folder. Then change to the unyaffs folder and issue the following command.

unyaffs system.img

The contents of system.img will get extracted to unyaffs folder.

How to set APN since there is no APN settings in Wireless & network settings? I never encounter something like this on CM6 or CM7 :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :

There is no Access point names in my phone. Only checkbox for Data roaming and T Roaming.

HM should reply then.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
You can download apn manager and set it that way, but I'm having issues with mine this time, my mms isn't downloading my pics. So let me know how it goes for you. It has to be something simple I'm missing i guess but I think I've tried everything. maybe when you get it set try sending yourself a pic and let me know if it works for you.

Yeah when I get home but if everyones is working except for mine then I will figure it out. It's not a crisis I will live lol. It will get fixed sooner or later.

Besides that hell this ROM is freakin awesome dude! My frozen M's seemed to have stopped thats the main thing. If there is anything that can be done to enhance video cam that would be nice but I got it working fairly good yesterday. Good Job bud

Hi,

Can we replace apk files by Dexter's one to translate the ROM because Dexter's is 2.2.1 too ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Dexter's was based on A853's 2.2.1 but this is based on the Motoroi's, so it's not a good idea. I think hellmonger intends to bring the translations back--in any case it sounded to me like they were gone temporarily. They're probably just missing as an intermediate step. It's not the final release yet, don't panic. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Thank you, it was to know if I was able to use this app with this ROM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
i think that kitchen would work but Mz is right i removed the translations only temporarily for testing, final will be full multilang and full APN.

The CAmera issues are due to 2 things...

1. the low light recording is horrible and always has been nothing new in my release.

2. OC settings play a big roll in the cam stability, i OC @ 1000mhz@68vsel never have any issues.

For a while i was trying @ 1200mhz@86vsel but proved to OH the CPU to much and cause crashes..

Wow I just rebooted without fastboot and had 101mb free ram at startup Sweet! And no more M freezes!!! I couldn't boot without fastboot before on singapore sbf. Of course the ram drops after settling but I still keep around 50-80mb free

Yeah that's what I figured and I was trying different cam's yesterday Vignette camera had the best quality, no lines,Well haven't tried them all, haven't tried Camera ZOOM FX. Or if someone knows one better would like to hear!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
You need to attach the file to the post (paper clip) for the QR code.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
That's what I normally do, I click on paperclip, upload the file, click on paperclip again and attach but don't get QR code

(I forgot I didn't do it that way this time but still don't get QR code, it said invalid file so I just used megaupload)

another question, do i have to chmod swap everytime the phone reboot?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
+1.. I can't believe you're the only one having this issue, I never had this when I was using WanHu, can't help you with the testing of RC2 yet, I'm still thinking of waiting for the final release, CM6 has been very very stable for me and I don't have the time ATM to tinker with my phone, as it would require quite a bit of work, reformat EXT4 via mzOR and all that, I can't even remember what OR i'm using now.. LOL.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
actually i don't think you have to reformat your ext4, I didn't and I have flashed like 3 times since making it. just restore with Titanium. and I love how you can backup homescreens with go launcher, thats very handy. But don't take my word for it! lol. There isn't much testing left on this anyway i don't think. I think I solved my M logo freeze. My only issues are the mms still but not worried about that, it will get fixed sooner or later when i flash again I guess and that alien facebook post lmao. It's like an unstoppable force! I guess I'm stuck with that. But I originally got it from khal's WanHU, and I think I recently got it back from Khal's as I was just on it for about a week. It should go away I hope. I'd like to be able to translate it at least! Lmao. But as long as you backup your CM6 it shouldn't take much to go back and forth. This ROM is pretty freakin awesome dude. Superfast. I am happy :D

Ps... sorry about the themes fella's. I just need to stay out of Sh%t and keep my mouth shut lol.

No bud, just one time for me so far.
