FYI, don't make the false assumption that wide has more data--the sensor isn't wide format. You can check in the stock camera for 2.1. You will see that "8MP wide" is positioned at the top of the the "Picture Resolution" menu as if it were higher quality than "8MP". But if you read the actual pixel dimensions small print it's clear that all that "8MP wide" does is chop off the top and bottom of "8MP":

8MP wide = 3264 x 1840

8MP = 3264 x 2248

There was an entertaining lawsuit a while ago about 4:3 vs widescreen DVDs--people assumed the 4:3 movies were made by chopping the edges off of widescreen and panning, but in fact the opposite is true--the cameras are 4:3 format. The originals were 4:3 and the theatrical releases were made by chopping off the tops and bottoms.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hrm143:
Can we have it in our build, 8MP wide = 3264 x 1840, I like this format to view in HD screen..though i understand the pixel dimensions...its a better view in HDTV like the pictures are not displayed in Half.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think nadlabak got that working in his A853 port, so we probably just need to check what he did.

What an idiot I am. Sorry about that. That is actually the way I got it awhile ago, just forgot and hit the market search. My bad. But it is a useful app.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fox_die:
I think the market 3.1.11 is too heavy for our phone. could you downgrade it to 2.x.x in next build? :o

it's always painful for me to browse the market because of its slow response. Old version is better :D

Updater app

Here's a first attempt at an updater app. It's a port of milaq's cm4mm-updater for CM6.3 https://github.com/milaq/cm4mm-updater (which I understand is a continuation of a pre-RomManager CyanogenMod updater). At the moment, all I've done is change the default URL that the updater uses to read the available ROM list. Currently, it's probably more interesting to developers so don't get all whiny.

Some Notes:

Available ROMs are configured in the update_file.json file at https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/cm4mm-updater-manifest -- the updater downloads and parses that file

Actual ROMs get pulled from https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/android/downloads

ROMs can be marked stable ("S") or experimental ("X")...

The default preference is to not display experimental ROMs...

The only ROM currently available *is* marked experimental (it's fj's 18112011) -- so if you run this you won't see any ROMs until you manually change the preference

ROMs are downloaded directly into the /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates folder

milaq puts cm4mmupdater.apk in prebuilt/app on CM6.3

There's a nice mechanism for including change logs, but I didn't do that. Look at milaq's *.json for a better example.

I guess a deep sleep would help on battery life, while we are talking about battery life, just want to show one of the advantages of being able to flash a custom kernel... check out this battery life! And I could get over 2 days with it, this is with deep idle disabled! On the Nexus S of course

A little stupid question... I see that the Motorola milestone have a 2.6.32 kernel and the XT720 2.6.29... theres is a way to upgrape kernel?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Hi

Can't change kernel because are bootloader is locked.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Wow that's great, to tell you the truth, this cm7 build for XT has a better battery life as compared to my Captivate running CM7 as well.. and I played with kernels.. so don't think that this is something only For the XT.. Battery life and CM7 doesn't mesh well IMO..

Sent from my *GLITCHED Captivate running CM7
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
I have read on several other forums that CM7 has and always have had bad battery life. Not sure why, but that is usually the #1 complaint.

Had the WORST kind of family news yesterday, so I will be off the threads for awhile. Ill upload the apps I mentioned in a few other threads tonight when I get home, but I'm off the grid for a few days. If anyone has build.prop questions, ill get to them when I get back. Happy Turkey-day and flashing and be back soon.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Thanks for this rom!!!

I hope it will be The One....

I just wait for the wifi to test it...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Radio works no volume control but mot a big deal.

Wifi doesn't work and sensors and I'm sure you know that these are the only things found not working.

The performance great no lag.

It out performed the motorio cm7.

Memory management was very good.

You have done great job on this cm7.

Nope. If your rom flashed from milestone xt720 kernel - you may not flash it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:

USB, camera not work now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
I can confirm the USB behaviour on his newest build (the second one) from today (October 14). Seems as though the device is never mounted, adb won't pick it up either. It does charge still, though.

Regardless, great job fjfalcon! I'm glad to see update-based ROMs built from source rolling out again :) The performance of this ROM is excellent! I'll be watching this thread with excitement.

Hi,

I have problem with camera, I can't take picture or movie, movie stop after 1sec and camera don't save pic.

More, I can't choose 8MPX wide to take picture and media led is on only when i press gallery button then it's stop.

Writing large chunk of data to SD card might be the issue. Does it happen without the SD card? Can you also try the same operation with a higher vsel?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
What vsel do you have I am at 950mhz@60vsel.

More battery drain fast and in battery use screen is about 40% of battery use. So is screen really off when phone go to sleep ?

I didn't try with sdcard, but if it is that, what I have to do to fix ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SickBeast:
I can't seem to revert back to 2.1 after flashing this ROM.

Do any of you have the same problem?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] js_crusaders:
What about the HDMI????
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I think screen never go off on this rom. Screen use most of battery even if phone is in sleep. More setcpu never go in screen off profile. So, can someone fix that ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
I am using Milestone OC with 1GHz, 74vsel. And setcpu in conservative mode. I am not using this ROM, but CM7 supposed to have better battery life than others. If driving SD card is your problem, you may need either a smaller capacity SD card or a higher class.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Nope, my screen turns off. Sorry.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
You've right it seens that my screen use a large part of my battery but he go off, I saw that in screen time use. Sorry for my mistake.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Hi,

Can someone tell me how to have 8MPx wide in camera (picture) because when I take a photo it don't take all screen.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AA1973:
I am using 2 apps, maybe they help you: CPU Spy and CPU Turner, available in the market.

With CPU Tuner I loaded a pre configured setting "simple and powerful" where you have 2 settings, screen on and screen off.

There you can set the frequency of the CPU as well as other settings, e.g. what happens to Data, 2G or 3G, WLAN...

CPU Spy is only for looking up whether the settings work (or not). :)

HO!NO! mod CM7.1.0.7 ICS Edition - Milestone XT720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I updated setcpu to a newer version and know it's work.

My camera don't crash now (it was due to vsel setting) I am now at 1ghz@69vsel.

But, can someone tell me how to have 8MPx wide in camera ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Take 8MP picture

Copy to computer

Open in Photoshop

Erase top and bottom of image

Save image

Copy back to phone

…

Profit
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I know I can do that but I think it is better to view photo in full screen when you want to capture it with phone.

So, is there a way to remove menu from photo and to have full screen picture ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
guys, i need your help about media testings

frist offtopic:

mioze7ae :):):):):) of course cli tool can be used too (imagemagick man convert)

now:

Please share if you are able to play youtube HQ videos.

Please try as many as you wish. please start with this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZoi5iCbnR0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

from the youtube app, should be the first clip, when searching "car hd 1080p"

If you are able to play HQ videos from youtube nice:)

(don't forget that usually if you are on mobile connections, the default settings will be HQ disabled)

after several testing, please repeat the tests with the rom from here:

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

update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-27112011-signed.zip

and share your feedbacks.

p.s. have in mind that again the fonts will be too small (unless you don't revert the lcd_density from 160 to the default 240 in the build.prop)

p.p.s. there are some other changes too, (e.g. ability to focus during video recording, but lets focus on the youtube HQ playing first:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Another question I saw that after flashing this rom my baseband config name change. So does it really change or is it simply a comfig file ?

More how to prevent autokill of music app.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yes I am able and it plays very nice! Anything else you need us to share other than they play?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

If anyone flashes this new update make sure you do a backup, it wipes almost everything. Also not only is font too small everything is too small lol. Just fyi.

***EDIT

I didn't data wipe, I thought I could just flash overtop like I have been but no, I lost all my apps, no biggy I can restore them but things are force closing like .usb and market.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hrm143:
FC market, change the language to English (US) from the language settings.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
was quite busy these weeks...

10x for all who hit the testing scenario...

sorry about usbd, dosent work for me too (hope fixed it in few hours)

about lcd_density, yes it is small, but for my taste is good (more info on the display), can be changed easy, by modifying build.prop

about missing apps, i prefer minimalistic desings, so my taste dosen`t include auto mounting of ext partitions.... (ok it mount the ext, in system/sdext, if /systetm/sdext exists :) ) that explain the missing applications....

anyway honestly, i don't have clear vision if youtube work both for mainline and for the testing build (elsewhere, the idea is if something work in the testing to be pushed to the mainline too)

again sorry for the usbd, i was surprised too

edit:

reuploading now, usbd should work

if you update mainline to mainline (e.g. rom from the first post) you will be ok...

If you decide to hit the curiosity and to test one of the testing builds, you will lose everything (ok it is a lie, but let keep it simple). so make your nandroid before apply-ing the so called test buidls....

about memory, yes there are some modifications (feedback are welcome), but please (it is not personally addressed to anyone) give feedbacks and answers (for example this question is still not answered http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19779295&postcount=571).

One of the worst thing about memory is that the issues will reveal after some time and this time will be different to everyone (usage patterns, etc....)

I try to do my best to test longterm usage (but honestly after few days i cannot resists to test some fix ..... so i am bad longterm tester)

p.s. Zachary your post was just the drop, which make me write this post, it is not addressed neither to you, neither to anyone else personally.

p.p.s and please, when sharing feedbacks, include if "allow purging assets" is checked or not (imho checked is better) (settings->cyano->performance)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Thanks i will feedback asap (sorry for the git i always forget to check your progress... But git is a little bit too complicated for me....

And with the new sbf(if i sucess to understand how...) i think it s what your waiting for (and i think it s a good point to have all the same sbf for the next)

@peshovec sorry i changed for J Y Daddy's rom just before your question...

But i think it s the same with all the 2.3 roms and for me when the rom slow down (after about half a day of heavy use) it s always slow even after a reboot (i don t notice that it s speedy at the begining and then slow down...)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
Best XT720 ROM yet. But the RAM problems are really bugging me.

The last (today) update improved the RAM usage a bit, but i'm still @25mb after startup. This renders multitasking nearly impossible, but there are a few programms that must run multitasking or are useless (like MP3 player and Instant Messenger).

Hence i have two questions: I know it's possible to lock apps in RAM. CM is offering this systemwise for the Launcher and it's also possible for other apps by invoking some cmd-line stuff after the app was started. But is there any way/app that allows me to auto-lock apps in ram that are predefined ?

Additionally, i would love to see a minimal-CM-apk-guide. There are plenty out there but which one is confirmed to work with CM7 XT720 ? And how to remove the apks ? I tried FileExplorere in SU Mode and the CM integrated OI Explorer. Both are not able to delete system apps.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
try root app remover (on the market) it remove all the apps i need

Use JIT: ON

Enable surface dithering: OFF

Allow purging of assets: ON

Use 16bit transparency: OFF

Lock home in memory: ON

Lock messaging app in memory: ON

VM Heap size: 24m (sometimes 32m, not sure which is best)

V6 SuperCharger using "Balanced 3 Settings" (applied using the AOR version)

Prefer long press home to switch tasks (previously I had a habit of always going to home app to switch)

Anybody have other tricks? (I can't get Angry Birds to run, not that I really care, but I remember that used to strain Dexter's 1.3 so I tried it the other day)

*By the way, as a nitpick/peeve: can we start labeling these YYYYMMDD instead of DDMMYYYY so that they sort better? ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:
hmm... Angry Birds (all 3 versions) runs fine in your CM6 ROM

not sure what else we can shave off from CM7 to make it more snappy
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] drx64:
You should normally set Lock home in memory to OFF if you're using Supercharger. :/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I used 24m for sometime for good.

For angry birds - don't restart it from backup and just play from begining =)

For me more ddmmyyyy is more usual =)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Hmm. Well all I did was download from market. It always get stuck at loading... for me. Maybe I'll try a factory reset and see if that helps. I need to upgrade anyway. For some reason github.com won't let me upload the latest zips (S3 is giving a permission denied error). I could send the downloads from the updater to your server instead... but I don't want to possibly smash your machine.

Edit: Now it works.... I don t know what happened i m sure it wasn t charging yesterday. Like i says i let it more than 1hour and the % don t change at all. But today after many test it works... Maybe it s because it was the first boot and it had a lot of background running apps (but still no charge in 1hour even if there were many apps in background it s weird....)
