Hi,

I wanted to report a couple of hints to improve (according to me, of course) the ROM.

First, in J.Y.Daddy's ROMs, selecting "hidden" in the battery status style didn't actually hide it (as this ROM does), but created a coloured line all along the status bar (at the top of it, at the very top of the screen) that represented the battery available. That was really cool according to me.

Second, when choosing "Sound+vibrate/vibrate" as options of the sound notification power widget, the result is that you can only change it once, if you press twice (Sound+vibrate-vibrate and back) the second time it doesn't work.

Bye! :)

I don't know, I didn't dare because when I tried to uninstall it an alert popped up, telling me that it was running. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Great news!

Guys, I just tried these animations and the centered clock in the status bar.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21283776&postcount=1

I expected average RAM to decrease even more, but, to my great surprise, it increased significantly! Specifically, with the settings described in the note, my average RAM was 46MB, now it's more than 60.

I really don't have a clue about the reason, but now the phone is much cooler and has more RAM!

Note: spare parts set to normal speed, no fancy input animations, not using RAM manager pro at the moment, VMheap=24MB, build.prop tweaks fully applied.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] banshee56:
FYI...if you select all of the options in the "Sound Modes" menu below where you choose which notification buttons, it will cycle through without error. It's a bit inconvenient to have to cycle through all of the options, but it will still cycle. The same is true with brightness mode.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Yes, I realized that, it was just a small-bug-report :)

BTW, what is com.android.provisions? can we delete it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I don t know what happenned with this rom but i never had so much bugs with the fjfalcon's rom or any other rom...

Now i have a fresh new bug i never had i don t have wifi!!!!!

I didn t change anything (i promise!) but this morning when i turn on the wifi it can t found any network... So i turn the wifi off then on (like always) but nothing happened.

And even after a reboot still nothing! I reboot it at least 5 times today but it stay the same i have to use 3g to get the net!

i think i will come back to the ho!no! cm7.1.1 (look the JYDaddy thread) for me it was the best i only use ram manager pro and motomizer (to overclock) and it s this way it s the fastest rom i test (on cm7)

I don t know what J Y Daddy did to port those milestone rom but for me they are the best. Fast and stable and i think that it has also a better battery life than this rom.

But in the change log of HO!NO! you can read that he add a lot of tweak in this one. Like all the zeppelinrox KAK settings... Maybe that s why....

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

It s sad the forum is kind of dead now....

I think most people change their phone......

I will need to reinstall a fresh stable rom to sell it...

BTW in France the xt720 is still in shop but the price drop down..... It s sold at 150€!!!

Hi,

Can anybody help me figure out what I did wrong here...:confused:

My phone keep cycling on the cyanogen mod 7 logo, I'm stuck there.

I installed Cincinati bell stock firmware, ok.

Then superoneclick.exe

Then I put open recovery from froyo package. Installed it.

Replaced with files in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242259

Then I could see the new version of Open recovery, I reinstalled the bootstrap (not sure what it does). Then I applied the updates found in the first post here : Link:

11.01.2012 build time: 12:05

Said success, I didn't wipe anything (should I?) and then reboot == not working

Thx for the help, I'm confused, I'm pretty sure it was correct.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
To be safe I would do a whipe to see if you boot.

Hi

I have been running the first cm7.2.0 the results were very good battery unsure of at this time but ram avg 75 no problem for ram.

The camera and video works good.

Very slight lag not really noticeable.

It was overclocked at 1gz.

does anyone experience the phone getting hot easily, especially when charging, installing apps, and surfing the internet?

oh, and there are also battery drains which eats up battery very quickly, especially when surfing the internet. it was like 10% down every 10 minutes...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gu3vara:
Thx, it works better now
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] secret_tidus:
basically i think the camera fc is cause by the picture saving corruption...it always happen after taking several picture.. when i press fc it will cont freeze and nid pull battery..

but anyway i will try this memory management tweak to see whether got improvement or not..

new test build

at the usual place

https://github.com/peshovec/playground/downloads

update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-23012012-signed.zip — wifi native terher (usb too), ics rotation animation, notification swype to clear race fixed, camera jpeg compression reduced (should be 96)

new (recognizable) since previous build features (eye candies)

1. mynet aka 3g mobile hotspot removed, as native wifi tether works (as usb too)

2. ics rotation animation are working

3. image compression should be reduced (e.g. quality should be 96 instead of 95)

4. swipe to clear notification should work always

5. gallery key do nothing

and synced to nadlabak and cyanogenmod

p.s. again 160 dpi by default, no auto nothing.

change at the both places the both lcd density from 160 to 240 in build.prop to have big icons (e.g. wasting screen space:) http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

for overclock, uncomment the insmod overclock.ko in system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc

you have to apply gaps update after update-ing the rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941346

you can pick /system/etc/init.d scripts from the mainline

Does HDMI work in this version?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
no

hope not yet :)

when will figure how to put on a desk, hdmi capable input, the phone and my laptop will figure it better. for now i am stuck with sporadic (brute) test and tries...

but it is in my plan

./services/java/com/android/server/HDMIObserver.java: private static final String HDMI_UEVENT_MATCH = "DEVPATH=/devices/omapdss/display1";

so we have observer. only make it work on xt720 and you get your hdmi.

It will be better if show status led on. and a little thing, you define changing gallery/camera/camcorder by long-press media key, right?

needed cores:

1. tiap_drv, which make tiap0 instead of tiwlan0

2. define tiap0 as tether interface (in the overlays, i had done that long time ago)

Phone is working smooth and is really responsive. No trouble in taking pictures from camera. And battery life just amazing, couple of calls, messages, 2-3 hours of music still battery wont drain completely. This ROM is more than perfect for my daily use. :D

Here are some surprising results:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Unbelievable, how did u manage to have that battery life? Did u apply any tweak?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jackfrost3821:
I don't know. LOL

It's a ROM which is providing some outstanding results. I followed mchlbenner's guide to get more free memory on CM7 and I guess it helps improving battery too! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Similya:
whats new with the new build.? :D

i have a question;

why is it that there is no live wallpaper in CM7.?

is there a possibilities that tv-out will work.?

i also have a suggestions.

about the notification LEDS.

During battery low, instead of a continuous light of LED, can you change it to blink at a 1 min interval.? and an audible beep every 2 or 5 minutes.? just like when you receive a new SMS, though new SMS will blink at a faster rate.

this is just a suggestion.

anyway, keep up the good work DEVS, you bring out the best of XT720. if only i have enough funds to give small amounts of donations to you guys. GOD Bless.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't think we can control the blink rate in low power mode so blinking at 1min would require driving the leds using the cpu to toggle the lights on and off (i.e. keep the phone from drifting into low power mode). Plus you'd have to look at the phone for at least 1min to know if there's a problem ;)

The Android platform has the concept of a "notification" and "attention" led. It took me a while to figure out what the difference between "notification" and "attention" could be, but my current understanding is that "attention" is means "come pay attention to me" rather than "hey I've got something to tell you (notification)" i.e. there's a difference in urgency.

It's actually interesting: of the three leds: "play" | "camera" | "video", only "camera" and "video" will blink at the hardware level--"play" refuses to blink. This is why I think Motorola did that: on XT720, we don't have color leds and the position of those three leds isn't really unique to be unambiguous so I think the intent is that solid/blinking distinguishes the two. Of course, we could light the hardware buttons for "attention" but I assume that drains more power.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
Gapps ?

What version of Gapps works with Falcons 012412 Kang rom? I've tried a few, but cannot sign on with my google account. :mad:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps works for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
How can you do that? I've only got thirty hours battery lift in my phone with the latest build(even do nothing).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pables123:
found some bugs i cant restore my apps using titanium back up pro.are you having this problem too?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nrgaway:
I'm interested as well, since the best battery life I have ever gotten was about 10-12 hours (on the 12-12-2011 build), and that was in standby with next to nothing screen time!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jackfrost3821:
Place LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk both in /system/app directory. Make sure permissions for these apps are rw-r--r--. Reboot your device. Now when you'll choose wallpapers you should have an option for Live Wallpapers. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jackfrost3821:
Even for me this battery life is really surprising. Phone is overclocked to 1Ghz (74Vsel). In CM7 settings>performance settings Max frequency=1000Mhz and min frequency=250Mhz with CPU governor mode SMARTASS (I don't know how does it operate in this mode but it does help :p ). Plus I don't use 3G only wifi, switch it on when I need updates rest of the time it is disconnected and last thing tips my mchlbenner. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
Yeah, I noticed it too.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pables123:
bagongs what u used to restore ur apps, titanium back up pro is not working or u install fresh app from market?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
I didn't wipe data after the update, so I didn't have to restore any app.

However, I noticed that when you try to uninstall/restore an app titanium backup pro shows the loading animation, that won't go away unless you stop the process manually from Settings-Application-Running services. But if you do that (stopping the process while it looks like titanium is still trying to end the task), the app will be uninstalled/restored anyway.

This could be a trick if you have just a few apps to uninstall/restore because it's long and boring, but if you have to restore many apps maybe it's better to download again the free ones from the market, and use this procedure only for the paid ones. At least this is my current understanding. ;)

Next time you update a nandoid backup could help you, in case titanium doesn't work in the new version.

Ah, I wanted to point out another small issue.

When I have an incoming call, the screen doesn't wake up immediately (allowing me to answer) but it takes a couple of seconds after starting vibrating.

Probably this is something that can be solved by modifying the build.prop file, but I'm not sure about the lines to input.

Anyone has hints?

Note: I'm using 1GHz overclock, smartass governor (but it was the same also with ondemand).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pables123:
mine reboots when taking a call... by the way in nandroid back up which box should i check when backing up apps?

i got 1 problem my gallery button is not working everytime i press it it says application killed are u having this problem too guys?

more power to all devs whos working on cm7.2
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
The data partition, if I'm not wrong.

No, I don't have any of the issues you reported.

As regards the gallery, now gallery button works only if you long-press it...

Please add info about your situation so that our devs are not misleaded: did you have a fresh update or you applied fj's cm 7.2.0 over another ROM? Did you wipe dalvik and cache?

Remember that sometimes a bad flash can occur --> try again flashing the update! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pables123:
I ddnt start from fresh sbf maybe that will fix the prblem thnx bagongs

By the way how to boot on bootloader manualy my volume up is broken
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nitu_vats:
do you want to flash 2.1 sbf? use RSDLite even when your phone is switced on. choose the sbf you want to flash and click start, it will automatically take you to bootloader and flash the sbf. for any custom rom follow the process mentioned in Original posts.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bagongs:
It should be volume down, but I'm not sure, I never use it.

If you want to flash with RSD press camera button+volume down+power while inserting the battery.

I had the same after 2 days of use (heavy use. I wanted to test it...) a lot of reboot when it is out of ram... I also have more ram than with the other rom but it seems more laggy... (like with the last release)

I still have wifi disconnection also

So i come back to the CM7.1.1 Ho! No! ICS edition v1 (from J Y Daddy)

so far it s the best for me fast and stable (and better looking too)

but i also have wifi disconnection (like in all cm7) and no led notification (you have to use ledmeknow) the other things works fine (8Mo camera hd recording...)

Can you run chkdisk on your sdcard? Or boot to OpenRecoveryXT720 and use

OR > SD Card Utilities > Scan FAT partition for errors

FYI flashing sbf is a pointless waste of time. Only flash sbf if you can't get into OpenRecovery or if you're switching to/from modxt720.sbf
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
SBF flash not always pointless

SBF flash not pointless if you are coming from another rom (ie. CM6, Miui, etc)... I updated from CM6.3.6 & the CM7 didn't run well at all. I flashed the CinciBell SBF & updated to CM7 & everything running as advertised... Thanks Falcon! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tubekeeper:
Is the rom work on the korean xt720?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No, it's 100% a pointless waste of time. You do have to factory reset when switching between those ROMs, though.

The ROMs only touch the /system, /cache and /data partitions. Installing a new ROM erases and replaces /system, and factory reset erases /cache and /data. An sbf flash doesn't do anything else that matters except require you to waste time rooting and installing openrecovery. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
with all due respect Mioze7Ae, I did a factory reset going from CM6 to CM7 & CM7 did not run smoothly at all... I even restored a stock 2.1 nandroid then factory wiped when going to CM7 & had the same crash & sluggish issues. Once I reflashed... perfecto... something wrong with your theory.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Well I will through my two cents in this as my rule I always clear all data.

If going to cm6 then to cm7 I would wipe all but cm7 to cm7 you don't have to wipe all.

I only flash sbf when I can't get to open recovery.

Whipe if you want to or not whipe your decision.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't doubt you did something in the process of flashing the sbf to fix the problem (my guess sdcard related since the sdcard seems to be the root of all evil on this phone) -- but flashing the sbf itself didn't do anything productive. I know it's easy to develop superstitions about these things.
