Today something weird stuff happened, while browsing through gallery pictures phone rebooted itself. After booting up it failed to mount sd card, it doesn't show sd card even if it is inserted. Tried connecting sd card to PC with card reader and it is all fine. Tried different sd cards on phone but it doesn't show notification message saying 'Preparing sd card'. I've flashed the ROM again but still no luck, it doesn't read it.

Any suggestions on what should I do?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Well, the nuclear option is to use your PC to backup the files and then reformat your FAT partition and copy the files back. If you have an ext partition use nandroid to backup and restore the "sd data" partition and then use the OpenRecovery XT720 SD card utilities to upgrade the restored ext partition from ext2 to ext3 (or ext4).

The thermonuclear option is to also factory reset.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jackfrost3821:
Thank you for the quick reply but when I go into OR I could see the updates( .zip files on sd card) but when it boots up it doesn't show sd contents plus it refuses to load contents of other sd cards those work fine on other phone. STRANGE!

show logcat of fc.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Gallery button don't work ?

It kill app.

More, camcorder doesn't work well it alwas crash when recording video after 20 or 30s and it save nothing (with class 10sdcard).

EDIT: camcorder issue solved by restoring vm heapsize to 32 and by enabling usb dev. It smooth and without lags.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] S7icky:
K soooo im poppin my head in here for a min... lol good to be back :P

K soooo how is this rom coming along is bravo still the best option for stablity?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I have again issue with camera. Video record freeze and the most important and strange : sometimes by switching from camcorder to video recorder it make a strange noise like "clack" so, is it a sound or an hardware cause sound?

camera

the video camera is not working well again please fix it
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hzx505:
Thanks for the building Lord share
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
What is new in the buil ? More how to update because I tried to simply apply update and then when I reinstall link2sd script I haven't any app.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Inge2000:
Hi, is there any change log ? :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fox_die:
fjfalcon, have you tried using camera and HD video recording in Shenqi_v4 rom yet? I think these functions in shenqi work great with no problem at all, camera is fast and smooth, but this rom also have some problems such as calendar doesn't work, battery drains faster.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Video system from 2.1 won't be ported.

Dixi.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
new build...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] radite:
what's new on this version?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SayAliFlyeer:
Yeah whats new!? ---Good job with previous builds tho..I actually prefer your builds than the others i seen on this site...they seem to have more uniqueness
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] viagra1007:
Is anyone here experiencing unexpected reboots? Because, usually after taking a picture, closing the music app, and even after finishing a call, the Motorola logo spawns unexpectedly.

Please let me know if there is a good workaround to this! I have tried EVERYTHING!.... (setcpu, autokiller, motomizer). And it does still reboots unintentionally.

Thus for this last build install I have not made any tweak. I installed it as is. And just for the record, I have installed it corretly as always, first the stock sbf, root, recovery, wipe, flash, wipe and reboot. BUT STILL, UNEXPECTED REBOOTS....

This has been the lamest Motorola I have ever had!

Please let me know if this is only affecting me!

Thanks in advance,
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] newbkilla:
Today's the first day I had this installed... but I was listening to music earlier today and a song finished and it restarted like you said, but that was it. I have made 3 phone calls today and they all worked fine. I have yet to try taking pictures, however. I am trying to conquer the mighty and strong memory leak :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
throw to garbage your sdcard.

All reboots always goes to sdcard.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
I'll partially agree. But with the same SD card, till January or mid-February the build was more stable. Recently in last 3/4 builds, I am experiencing more frequent reboots. So I think stability of the code reduced a little, though might be triggered by SD card. If it reboots when camera trying to save an image, I understand, but why does it want to access my SD card during a call and crash? Most of my recent crashes are when using apps which shouldn't have anything to do with SD card.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Don't forget that all apps on ext by default?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
If you use link2sd instead of app2sd you chose what app go to ext and what stay on phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I think this phone isn't the best at reading sdcards and has more issues than others, and it seems some ROM's have more issues than others. I think, I don't know for sure but a new better classed sdcard would improve camera and overall performance but the sdcard isn't the primary cause. Sometimes it takes forever, like with bravo to get a good flash without any issues but then magically I finally get it to work flawless for a long time. It's unexplainable I guess, I asked about this before but never get a response, the best way to know is if someone experiences no issues with a higher class sdcard is what I was trying to find out. I'd hate to spend the money and have the same issues. If I had extra money to throw around it wouldn't matter I guess lol. Speaking of money, we all need to chip in and get fjfalcon a new XT or we will be screwed! Lol
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SayAliFlyeer:
I overclock mine. Works fine
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The part of the logcat you quoted was related to the Android System Info app from the market. There are a lot of:

E/MediaProfiles( 8248): The given camcorder profile camera 0 quality 2 is not found

in the full logcat, though. So probably the media_profiles.xml needs work. The click is the camera shutter being slammed closed or open. I've had that happen once or twice in the past, it's possibly related.

I used to have a problem that removing headphones while music was playing would cause reboot, but I can't reproduce that anymore with any of my headsets, so that seems fixed.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
New SDCard, updated version to 28.3 build, problem remains.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
EDIT

most reboots with my nexus are due to overclock and voltage settings. I flashed this yesterday to give it a shot before settling with Cm6 and I was getting the blackscreen issue. It seems to happen with most ROMs but some more than others. It has only happened once so far with CM6. I don't have any clue. There is something that must cause it to be more sensitive to it in the ROMs.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
Thx, but its not overclocked. According to your Signature, you are/have been using CronosX CM7. Has this been more stable ? Dont want to downgrade to CM6 if its possible to prevent ....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I was running chronosX but now on cm6. I have my nieces phone on chronosX and yes it is very fast and stable. She hasn't had any issues and been using it for well over a month I believe. ChronosX is missing some features though it isn't complete.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Are you able to use link2sd with ext2 on cronosX because when it mount script on my phone I reboot and then I haven't any app.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I don't use link2sd I just use app2sd, it works with ext3 and I think Brian fixed it to work with ext4. Just create an app folder.

***It is only missing a few unnecessary features such as boot into Mz's OR, it boots into motorola's recovery, but that isn't an issue as you can just hold volume up when powering on, and screenshot doesn't work. Also some CM customizations but no big deal it is a great ROM for smootness and performance. Definitely an everyday ROM my niece is more happy with it than Bravo although probably not much of a difference to her.

***Ahhh but I was half asleep, this isn't cool going on and on about another ROM in this thread lol. Continue in ChronosX
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Does video record work in this new build ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
it was broken?

Cause i already moved to ics.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Sorry wrong thread, no it work on this ROM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] oddo1907:
i recorded videos using phone. then yesterday i watch thesee videos. but today videos are lost.

when i lookeed the galery any video disappered. videos are lost.

this version is 28.03.2012 CyanogenMod 7.2.0 Milestone XT720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
sdcard problems
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] oddo1907:
thanks, so recovery programs is best solution :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Did anyone notice a better battery life with 04.04 ROM? I observed it for 2 days, and the battery seems to last longer. Compared with a month ago (found a screenshot) where in 12 hrs the battery will come from 90% to 20%, now in 22 hrs it came from 90% to 40%. That's very good, I'd rather say. I'll keep observing.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] oddo1907:
before installing this ,should we divide sd cart three part(ext4,linux swap and fat35)?

when we transport app phone to sd card, which part of sd do app carry?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Yes, though I *think* the order would be FAT32, ext2 (or ext3/ext4) and linux-swap. I encountered a little problem though to make swap work. I get an error "swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Function not implemented" so I guess swap support is not present in the kernel I have. I wonder if I can use a swap-supporting kernel.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
To use swap you have to fastboot boot one of fjfalcon's custom kernels.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
BTW is there a certain combination of SBF/kernel etc to make it work? I tried boot.img and also boot5.img, but both of them hard freezes after a couple of seconds. Can you recommend a combination (original SBF, fastboot kernel and CM7 update) that'd work supporting SD partition of fat32, ext2 (or ext3/4), swap?

However the problem seems to be with the SD card, as the boot5.img comes up fine when I pull the SD card out before booting. With the SD card inside, I face all problems. I'll try with a spare SD that doesn't have a 3rd swap partition to narrow the problem, but whole point of the exercise is to enable swap ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You could also try disabling the init.d script that enables swap (/system/etc/init.d/06swap). I really want to get a kernel with compcache/zram (swap into compressed RAM) instead of pure swap but I haven't been able to boot even a vanilla kernel I've built at all yet... fjfalcon seems to have the magic touch. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Let me try that once again. As per logcat, the freeze happens much later though. Somewhere in middle of some arbitrary place (not the same one twice). Maybe when *actual* swapping kicked in.

EDIT//

Yes that seems to be the problem. Removed 06swap and things are well. After some time, did a "swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3", started Angry Birds. Freeze. Just before death, this was output of "free":

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 229764 221928 7836 0 104

-/+ buffers: 221824 7940

Swap: 254488 7992 246496

So it just started writing swap when it died. It is a class 6 SD, maybe I need to get class 10. Another experiment to do is to increase the vsel to 74 or 80 before activating swap, if that is able to drive the card.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
So, new build, wi-fi tethering enabled.

Btw, i received new phone from user alpha142 from 4pda.ru forums =)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Welcome back!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Still getting SOD with this ROM. I know I need a new sdcard but I have only been having this issue with this ROM now. Oh well I might break down and buy a new one anyway. Thanks fjfalcon but the screen goes out on me after a few minutes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
After compilte moving to opensource usbd i will work on sdcard problems.

New version.

new mmcfix(replaced with new symsearch and new compiler)

opensource usbd now works fine, except usb.apk(mode changes)

cleanup
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
new build, aosp init and init.rc.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ragemode:
Trying to launch an app via the hw-media button (gallery, camera, camcorder) will result in a forceclose when toggling "long press back to kill foreground-app" in Settings -> Apps -> Developers.

This is reproducible with the 04.24 build, didn't test any others
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Just flashed this on my nieces phone, her sdcard works much better than mine, and this ROM has been great so far! no sod's yet and after running supercharger it is running much more smooth. Great work fj!

My Xt has been having sdcard issues, I can't even get any files loaded on my phone. So I am hoping it will be fixed after buying a new one so I can run this as well. Thanks a bunch bud
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Phone started to heat up quick, got too hot had to turn it off. Also usb wasn't working. Not sure what is the problem. Will try again later.

***Edit***

Usb is not working and I think that is what made my phone heat up. It's a shame I have to have her phone done by noon cause she is leaving. Hopefully it can get sorted out for next weekend.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I just read my last post and thought it may have sounded rude, I just meant it's a shame cause the ROM was running great and it would have been great for her. I didn't mean to sound unappreciative lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gn01222116:
hi, i have installed this rom and its running great, except i cannot launch USB connection when connected to my PC.

BTW, i got a strange behavior, my phone will occasionally reboot for 1-2 times per day for this rom as well as the cronos X which are both in 2.3.7 i supposed. But this problem didn't appear when i was using CM 6 by moize. is this probably due to app crash? i have set the memory setting by Ram Manager Pro to Hard Gaming, any adivee?;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I would be careful with this CM7 for now, my phone got super hot with USB plugged in. fjfalcon just stated he is hard at work fixing it. He will get it sorted out he is one smart dude! Lol. Reboot issues are usually due to overclock or undervoltage I think but I'm not sure what is causing it for you, I don't recall that issue with CronosX as it is not overclocked.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Shoutout to LM and MZ..! Great to see you guys still active in y

The Milestone scene. !
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Howdy Jp good to see ya dude! Still amazing work going on here and we even have ICS now! An accomplishment we never imagined! Lol. Fj is finishing up his CM7 before he goes back to ICS.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SickBeast:
Guys how does this ROM compare to the one by Brian Li?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
New build.

Usb, ssmgrd fix, libfnc stub, wi-fi mac.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Just ordered this dandy little gadget! http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDHC-Komputerbay-Adapter-MobileMate/dp/B00768ZS4W Can't wait to see the difference in performance!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I think it won't work normally as it should =(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
What do you mean? The ROM or the SDCard? I'm just hoping the sdcard isn't a fake lol. It's a great deal regardless if it helps or not. It will at least help with camera performance I bet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
From mine exp card bigger than 8gb works badly on any xt720 rom...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
OH NO! Lol. This is why I was asking for opinions about it a while back and no one really answered me about it. I watched this video last night and it sold me. What brand and class did you try?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I always used transced 8gb 10 class.

But i have seen many users that was abusyng all 16gb sdcards...

So, waiting report from you with that sdcard )
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
So for now i think cm7 stable...

What you miss in this rom?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Congratulations on your new RD status!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Keion:
You are just awesome.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tonosaur:
i have a report about sdcard..

it works with 16gb capacity but when i install something it get stuck before the apps installed.. and sometimes the card not detected after reboot.. i have to re-reboot or take off the battery..

and it happens also with brianlili's cronosx.

i'm using sandisk class 4
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I am hearing the Samsung is fail-proof I am hoping that is the case with XT. I know all these other brands are awful, Samsung is the one to get. My Sandisk class 4 is always failing this is why I need a new one.

***Congrats fjfalcon it's long past due Bud!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tonosaur:
i dont think is about the memory card maybe its about the device we are using.??

:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah but I have issues with the same cards in my mom's Huawei Ascend X. So it is mostly the sdcards. There were a few people in here that posted the Samsung 32gb worked well for them. If it doesn't improve my XT then it's good riddance I will be selling it lol.

***And as a matter of fact I have the same read/write issues in my card reader with 3 different brands including Sandisk so it is the cards giving me my issues.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
So sad that I always got 'installation aborted' on CM7. I don't know what's wrong. I tried every possible way. I'm on CM9 now, 4/13 build. I hope a new update will come out soon. All your hard works are much appreciated.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Did you try to download the file again? Must be missing parts or corrupt?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
All the CM7.2 builds don't work for me. I gave up trying. I haven't tried them on sbfmod (I'm not familiar with this method) and I don't need large disk space. I have only minimal applications. However, CM7.1 does work. I'm using CM9 now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
Radio & TuneIn Radio quit running..

Hi FJ,

Rom works well with exception of...

the stock music player & tunein radio quit playing sound (or force close) when I try surfing on the stock browser at the same time... any remedy?

Thx.:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The music player gets shutdown because of memory pressure. The browser seems to be an extreme memory hog. Some things you can try are to disable the keep launcher in memory setting (if you have it enabled) that way Android can kill your launcher instead of your music player. Possibly you can try a different browser--I haven't looked into that. Using swap/ramz kernel seems to help, too.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
I dunno

I dunno about that Mioze, it all works fine on the Chronos rom. :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The reason it works on chronos is because chronos is based on nadlabak's CM7 for Milestone. Nadlabak did some sneaky and clever things to reduce memory pressure that aren't ported here yet. Fjfalcon's been doing things the defy way and peshovec's been experimenting with nadlabak's version in his builds. I've started studying how to combine these changes, but I'm not ready to push yet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tonosaur:
hmm i got some random restart here and i dont know why..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
I hope you wiped clean everything when applying the update. Once I had similar problem as I failed to wipe all. Ensure sdcard filesystem is intact ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bSptya:
running smooth so far!!

although i'm missing cronosx's message apk, with extra theme options and popup notifs.. any way to import that somehow?

edit: well after couple of hours the phone started the random reboot effect.. but this time i even had to remove the battery :\ happens with cronosx as well
