I already enable that and I lose sms when phone is in airplane mode or off.

About 30.11 does I have to flash sbf first or does I only need to apply update ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Try the new mod sbf it improve a little bit the perf: this is how to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19803895&postcount=12

I m not sure if you have to fash the sbf or if you can make it by an update only but for me i always have issues when i donc come back to the sbf so for now i m always flashing sbf
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
About mod sbf, baseband software is not french one if I use it so maybe my phone will send a lot of waves that will discrease battery life and is bad for health.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
when the moto xt720 was my only phone no:)

but i was not able to resist, so i have backup phone too .

So if i feel the need to test something, when i have time i just do it (if my backup phone is charged)

Also, from several weeks, i just update it. without factory reset, without data remove etc.... so basicaly just update, update gmaps, sometimes clear the dalvik cache.... So downtime of the moto around 10 minutes. and no need to restore nothing after that. (all my settings, contacts, call logs etc are preserved)

so if i found something that bother me (e.g. exif:) i just spend little time on it.

but, if i have to restore from scratch my settings (apps, contacts, call logs etc..) it will be pain in the ... so will avoid it until possible
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I don t see any changement in the reception without changing anything from the mod sbf...

And i went to holiday in europe (but not in france) so i turn of 3g and my battery last a lot! More than 2days (very light use) so i don t think it change anything for the battery life

And you can also change your baseband by a simple update (Mz post all of them and you have the french one)

Hey guys,

How does this compare to Mioze's CM6? I was messing around with my phone today and well...now I have to reflash. So, I was debating trying CM7. Is anyone using this as a daily driver and if so, how is the experience?

Thanks.

Does not Nandriod backup everything??? - OH I see.. update to new rom.. then restore everything.. Nandroid is a recovery of everything that was.. right?

Well I was running Bravo 2.2.1 and its OK.. but 2.3 is much nicer to work with..

THIS rom.. well i was not able to get it to work at first.. Marketplace was messed up with the Nov 30th build.

But I did use the google update zip from the Milestone Droid X forum.. and it installed great. and I am now working.. so far so good.

Have Milestone OC @ 1000/74 with cpuset to throttle.. benchmarks run good.. the 2.3.7 look is slicker and seems good.

I will let you know.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Biker1bob:
So I am a little puzzled, I have seen that for the last 2 pages of this thread, for most of us the resolution has gotten so small its not usable.

Why has this not been fixed in a build?? I just applied the latest build.. NOT usable.

I wanted to use wifi hotspot.. I assumed the fix was for the one under Wireless Networks.. but with the new build.. mine still does not work.. I added dun to the APN as well.. nothing.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Hey guys. I made a goof on github (I accidentally pushed CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest to CyanogenModXT720/android). I think I cleaned it up by deleting the gingerbread branch of CyanogenModXT720/android and re-uploading it. Sorry... Just a heads up. Let me know if things are weird. On the plus side, nadlabak found us ~2MB more RAM with his /system/etc/powervr.ini (https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/2a5ab8514a2edfd2c180592edec28b32712b7296).

Hi,

Is it possible to flash another boot.img than one is on update.zip ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Is that fix applicable to this particular ROM or say someone (me) who's running J.Y.Daddy's CM7 (and your bootfix) will also benefit from simply uncommenting the line with ExternalZBufferMode=4 ? What is the cost of the change ... looking at the variable name, maybe some 3D rendering setting?

If this fix really gives us 2 more MB of RAM without compromising anything else, we should popularize this fix!

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
So, should we use deodex build?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've been testing it for CM6 and so far I haven't seen any major problems. /system gets a little more full, though--I haven't looked into using it with modsbf yet. It has advantages: decreases size of dalvik-cache and makes first boot after a full wipe faster. It may have some impact on theming, but I'm not sure. Nadlabak's been odexing his CM7 for a while. Theming is a little different in CM7 so CM6 may have unique problems that CM7 does not.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
No, but u can use fastboot to boot one. (Not restart persistent)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yes, you can. It just has to be a Motorola signed one. There are a few that people seem to mention on XDA--the older Singapore one for example has TV out via the 3.5mm jack (disabled in the newer kernels). Other popular ones are the UK and CBW ones.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nrgaway:
Hi,

Thank you for this cm7. It seems great!

I just got a new phone for my daughter and am in process of tring to get it working nice for her. This is my first experience with this phone (I have used Samsung Captivate before).

I installed apps to the phone to the SD Card with TiBu, but now it seems I am running out of space still (cache?), so I repartitioned the 8GB sd card as follows( 7GB fat32, 512MB ext3 and 512MB swap). I read on this board it should be possible to move davlik cache, etc to ext3).

What is the best way to move the davlik and everything possible to the ext3 with this ROM. I read things on this forum about other ROMS, but am not sure about this one.

Also is the a benefit to having swap on SD card as well, or is it too slow. How to enable use swap on sdcard?

Sorry for ask in this thread, but I was confused looking at other threads and I want to make sure I do this properly for cm7.

Thanks

Edit: I tried also installing link2sd but when I reboot phone a lot of my apps go missing that were linked and internal memory goes to 0 from over 70MB. it also takes long time to boot, so I figure maybe cache and davilik was being rebuilt?

Infrastructure Mode

Has anyone gotten the wifi tether working in infrastructure mode with Wind Mobile?

I added the ,dun at the end of the APN type field already.

The odd part was that it was working with "android-wifi-tether (which according to the docs does not support infrastructure mode)" on the last Test build but not on the latest release build.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
So, if I want to keep boot.img from my stock sbf I can and cm7 will boot ?

Because baseband software version is not like my stock sbf one in the ROM even with baseband update so maybe it will fix.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Which SBF do you run? As far as I know there is a baseband update for every known SBF. Maybe can you explain more about how you know the version you are running doesn't have a baseband update?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I use french sbf and with it I have this :

Software version : STR_U2_02.1E.0

Firmware version : 2.1-update1

Firmware config version : GAS_EMEA_UCASHOTBRTLRTFR_P018

Baseband version : 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.5BI

Baseban config version : UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.OR

Kernel version : 2.6.29-omap1

But with cm7 and baseband update (there is one) I have this :

baseband version :3gsmepu91a_u_91.09.00i

It looks to be different and it don't change (baseband version name) when I apply baseband update.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That string ("3gsmepu91a_u_91.09.00i") can't be found in /system/etc/motorola. It seems to come from inside:

/system/bin/protocol_driver

I wonder if that binary (and some of the others in proprietary) need to be part of the baseband update. Is the only problem that the version string is different, or does it have performance problems?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I have problem when importing contact. I have to remove - from number but I see that sleeping phone use a large % of battery comparing with other (as much as screen) and so I mean phone send much gsm wave as needed.

Is there a way to import /system/bin/protocol_driver from 2.1 sbf ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Try this update. There may be more files that need to be changed, but this is a start. There seems to be a regional pattern to the protocol_driver's (there seems to be at least a North American, European and Asian one). I'll see if any of the other proprietaries have a similar pattern when I get a chance. For the curious here are md5sums:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I found there was an incompatibility with the supercharger script. Basically, we needed to have an "on early-boot" clause in init.mapphone_umts.rc or only the kernel half of the supercharge gets applied (and the Android userland half is silently skipped). This can cause a lot of trouble when the kernel and Android userland disagree about memory limits. I've pushed a fix to github.

If you don't want to wait for the next build, basically, you need to edit /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc to add this line:

insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/mmcfix.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/thumbee.ko

[B][COLOR="Red"]on early-boot[/COLOR][/B]

chmod 0666 /dev/DspBridge
class_start media_early_init

Then reboot and apply the supercharger.

Wow nice find Mz, all this work is exciting, having my Nexus S really spoiled it all for me. I am missing the excitement of wondering whats next to make our phone better lol. I miss it all but I am sure I am not missed! Lmao! I really kind of hate the Nexus S thread there really isn't anything exciting there, seems it's all been done already. 1,000 times over. I just can't get into it there like I was here. Anyway just thought I would share my thoughts. Great work guys I am glad you all are still working at it and making so much progress. I am still flashing here a little but kind of got bored of it since having my Nexus but that will change if I just slip my sim card back into my XT so I think I will go back to using it for a while. Can't miss out on all your great work! Wish I had the money to donate to you all but things haven't been so good lately.

How to auto-mount ext3 part in your ROM ? Solved by using ext2 and not ext3.

But I have problem with market it says this app isn't compatible with your phone and I had it before. How to fix ?

about auto stuff, if you feel comfortable you can remove all the scripts from /system/etc/init.d/ and place the ones from the mainline

honestly i am wondering why using ext2 solved your automount issue... there must be something else
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] nrgaway:
I also had problems mounting ext3/4 but was able to successfully mount an ext 2 partition I created in linux. Strange thing was though, once I created a ext 2 partition, I went in to Open Recovery -> SD Utilities and checked both the FAT32 and ext partition 2 times each; then I did a convert ext2 -> ext3, then ext3 -> ext4 then was able to successfully mount the ext4 partition now where I was unable to mount the one created with real linux (ubuntu).

So since you are able to mount ext2, maybe try the check and convert in open recovery.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've been staring at this and I still don't understand what they're up to:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/87ed6c90320a613b2fb225d3ad58c288ba9c3d59

Basically just before 2nd-init, /init becomes replaced with a compiled version and /sbin/ueventd is set up as a symlink to the new /init. And a service is added to start it. My understanding of 2nd-init is that the original /init from boot.img is still running anyway so this must have something to do with enabling ueventd to function properly. Anyway, I'm quite confused about it at the moment.

If I'm reading the motomagic spreadsheet correctly, Backflip, Cliq, Cliq XT (motus, morrison, zeppelin) are all stuck at 2.6.29 and officially CM7 (but I thought they were able to install boot.img via nandroid).

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think the CM6 has been using the equivalent of the 16bit transparency setting. Enabling it in CM7 seems to have improved multitasking considerably for me.

I've been testing using 4 apps I use a lot: "hacker news", "gh4a", "XDA premium", and "reddit is fun". To test, I start one app using a homescreen shortcut, let it load completely, go back to home using the home button and then reenter the app to make sure immediate reentry does not cause a reload. Then I move to the next app and repeat. Then aftwr loading all four apps I reenter the first one to see if it reloads (reloading indicates that memory pressure caused android to shut the app down to make room for the others). If 16bit transparency is disabled, I can only seem to keep two apps loaded simultaneously. After enabling 16bit transparency I can keep all four going.

Other relevent settings: heap 32mb, both home and SMS locked in memory, allow purging of assets, default minfree etc (NO supercharger, akmo etc).

16bit transparency makes the overscroll glow look somewhat ugly, though. Anyway memory use seems to actually be better in CM7 than CM6 (via procrank) so we're probably just missing something simple...

disabling jit seems to help too

just now i am in almost same config, but jit is disabled, and vm is 24m

very happy with uptime 142 hours and no noticeable slowdown ...

20 hours ago, my status bar becomes unresponsive to touch (e.g. i was not able to touch notification, clear them etc....)

few minutes ago, i just killed

{ndroid.systemui} com.android.systemui

which result in just status bar service restart, my touch input is know working:) and the phone start to react faster (as just after fresh boot...)

it will be good to know if such restarting of the systemui process will result in faster responses consistently across all xt720..

so please anybody:)

If you have notices some slowing on phone comparing with fresh booted, try to kill the systemui process , and report if that helps.

p.s. killing the systemui process should be harmless. for killing it:

pkill systemui

from the adb shell

p.p.s if it turns out that this helps, of course it can be automated:)
