[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I agree. This phone has plenty of potential but it also takes time to learn the hacks. Otherwise you have a 2.1 with a good camera. Upgrade it, commit to getting the tweaks right for you and it is a worthwhile investment and hobby. Plus it works when you call people too.
[Milestone XT720 General] rkarsk:
You guys have sold me :-). I have lots of experience flashing roms so I don't think I will find it too daunting. Played with the phone at work today, not bad at all!

For those of you with no freezing issues could you please post the model of your sd card? Might narrow down my search for one if I have any issues (or help someone in the future).

cheers
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
32gb class 10 from Topram. Bought it on eBay. Have purchased from them before so I know they sell "real" cards.
[Milestone XT720 General] MyWereld:
What I also found is that you need to overclock this phone to get the best from it.

Get yourself "Milestone Overclock" from this forum or from the Android Market and push your phone to 1000Mhz.

I have it running like that 24/7 for almost 7 months on various ROMS even though they say to use it only on stock ROM, and I rarely have a lag problem. If you leave it on stock CPU settings it can get a bit frustrating!
[Milestone XT720 General] krishn:
Ya, agree :)

I have a doubt, since Google acquired Motorola, Is there any change of the boot-loader being unlocked. If so, does it mean we can further push the limitations of this device?

Welcome to the family :D
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Wow first I heard of that, Google is taking over the planet lol
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
The XT bootloader was slated to be unlocked sometime in the last quarter of 2011, but here we are at the beginning of that quarter and nothing new. We can only upgrade only so far based on memory and other factors. At this point, I think that the CM7 builds are about as far as this phone can go. But hey, that is way better than the 2.1 that it was only given by the manufacturer.

Happened a few months ago, but I am pretty sure it isn't the whole Motorola company but just a piece of it. Can't remember exactly but there is a thread on it somewhere in here.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
No, we've never been slated for an unlock. The conditions Motorola gave for unlocks are (1) carrier allows and (2) part of a regular update. We're never getting any updates.

Matt and Mark of Motorola support forums confirmed that XT720 isn't even on the table for unlocks (they've deleted their getsatisfaction so that thread is toast).
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Ahh! I remember that now. Was just thinking and this thread popped in my mind.

i maybe only had 1 or 2 freezes but that was before i switched to CM6

since CM6 the phone has been rock solid
[Milestone XT720 General] rkarsk:
Are you using the SD card that came with the phone?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
yes, still using the original SD 8GB class 6 that came with the phone

and yes that card is very crappy, a few friends of mine we all got the phone the exact same day

both of them had their 8GB died on them

just replace it with a good 16GB or larger if you can afford it

Hi,

Can i create my custom boot animation? I mean can i create a boot animation with my own image or gif animation?

Thanks in advance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
yes you can but only .png as far as i know no gif.

Download a custom boot animaation for your phone -> extract it -> modify the .png files in it in photoshop or paint -> repack it in zip-> place it in "data\local\" by name bootanimation.zip
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidaem:
It can be only static picture, if PNG. Animations work in GIF. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
Dude you first download a custom boot animation , extract it and see files in it , you will understand how it works.

png images when run one after another it looks animation, nothing else

[HTC EVO 3D] unomillionaire:
Okay about a month ago I root my gf evo 3d , she has hboot 1.5 so I followed the steps on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821.

Everything has been working fine up until about a week ago , her phone started running hot and the battery would drain really quick with barely any usage. So my plan was to do a factory restart and full wipe and reinstall the rom fresh but when I tried to get into recovery the phone just shuts off , then goes to the boot screen then after the boot screen the phone just restarts itself. I even tried to do a factory reset from the phones menu options and the same things happens. The ways I tried getting into recovery are by using the shutdown menu options (hold power , reboot , recovery) , I've also tried rom manager and last I tried getting to recovery from bootloader and nothing seems to work.

I am completely lost PLEASE! HELP!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
You should reflash your recovery to TWRP using fastboot. Then boot into recovery using fastboot. From there you should be able to do a complete wipe and flash a ROM. It is outlined in the thread you linked OP and second post. Feel free to come into the d3rp q+a thread in my sig if you need more help.
[HTC EVO 3D] unomillionaire:
It worked thanks you
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
As a heads up to some of the inner workings.

All the methods you listed are correct methods of booting into the recovery. ROM Manager selecting boot recovery, booting into the bootloader and selecting recovery and also adb shell, reboot recovery.

The boot order goes: bootloader -> kernel -> recovery. Once you see the HTC screen or whatever custom splash screen is loaded, you know the device is now booting the kernel. At this point, if the device hangs on the splash screen or reboots again to the splash screen, something is wrong with the kernel "recovery" itself.

If you get this rebooting to splash screen or hanging on splash screen two or three times in a row, that should be sufficient to know, you have correctly booted the device into recovery mode and the next step is to reflash the recovery, essentially reloading it.

We can speculate on how/why the recovery became corrupt on your device, but in the end, these things sometimes just happen to no intentional fault of the user.

Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it does, hopefully this extra information will help prevent a bit of frustration the next time around!
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
So you mean, stuck at the splash screen(HTC with white screen) and reboot again and again is because of the recovery destroyed? My phone stuck at the splash screen for about 10 seconds and then reboot again and again. I have tried to flash many recovery images, includeing twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, cwm-1.0.4, cwm-1.0.5, cwm-5.0.2, all failed to boot up into recovery:-(

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] Blackboyx:
I am new to rooting and I have some question regarding that. Firstly, I live outside the states so I would like to know if i flash a ROM would the carrier be able to work. Secondly, if I have backup my apps from Titanium backup and got the PRO version in the stock sense(default sense with bloatware), how would i be able to get my PRO version if I install from the market the normal version. Lastly, where do I install the ROM from? I read in the forums some saying install from ROM Manager while some said install from CWR. I have no idea which to side with. I hope you guys can clear my doubts as I am new to it and this is my first android phone.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Once you have s off and have clockwork mod installed as a rule you would won't to down load the ROM you won't to flash right from your phone and after the down load is done you will turn off the phone take out the battery for 3 seconds and put back in and hold volume down + power that will get you into clockwork mod once your in from there you will backup your current ROM incase something go's wrong you can revert back to your original ROM after the backup is done now the fun starts wipe data wipe ceche scroll down useing volume key to advanced oh to get in side these folders you will press power and ofcourse volume for scrolling and wipe delvek ceche and wipe battery stats and scroll down to the bottom and press go back and scroll down to your download folder press power and choose update from SD card and will see ROM you downloaded scroll down to it and press power and this is where the install of your new custom ROM begains and you are set remember if any thing go's wrong you have a backup of your stock ROM and enjoy your new custom ROM

Oh buy the way don't worry about the pro version of titainium back up when you flash the ROM it will install it for you aswell as super user and ROM manager and don't take any short cuts and you will be fine

Unbranded, Three UK

I think Microsoft will roll out this for unbranded phone Much More later!!! Mayb until Tango1...:(

But anyways, Ive enabled dis thru Registry

The hilarious thing is, at first, make me think, Branded phone is not gud, the update will b later than the unbranded ones, but since Microsoft decided to roll out every update with carriers, (****), luk at dis Thethering Update, we unbranded phones r later!

So mayb, it's gud to use a branded phone mayb....:((((
[Omnia 7 General] tooly26:
maybe somebody can catch the update and post it here???

so we can flash manually...:)
[Omnia 7 General] PhObia_7:
Yes it would be great :)

I find it crazy that unbranded phones don't receive this update ...
[Omnia 7 General] Andyh77:
I have manually updated my operator unlocked Omnia 7 to the new firmware and am very puzzled.

I am on O2 in the UK and thought that upgrading to this new firmware would enable wifi tethering but after the update, this was not enabled.

I updated to the SFR-FR update available from mobiletechworld.com and everything was ok apart from being unable to hear any calls so downgraded back to the KH5 firmware.

My Specs are now

firmware version 2424.11.8.5

Radio 2424.11.9.1

Bootloader 5.9.1.4

Does anyone know if I am going to have to follow the guide on here to enable wifi sharing or whether wifi sharing will definitely be available to unbranded Omnia 7's via a firmware update anytime ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Why do you all hate the stock music player? I've used PowerAMP Pro, Mixzing, and the stock player. And I have to say, there's no damn difference apart from the stock player has a nicer and much more simple GUI, nice equalizer, and is free. Why waste 5 quid on a crappy 'PowerAMP Pro' that wastes battery, looks ****, etc.

Thoughts? Cheers :D

P.s. I think the Stock music player is ****ing ace :).

EDIT: OK because you were all on about PlayerPro I checked it out and damn is it good! It has very nice bass and it's louder too. Only problem is that it uses up 3* as much RAM and 4* as much battery as the stock player, which in my eyes isn't worth it for such a small improvement. Anyway, I still love the stock player, they're both great!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
Hey guys,

This has been bothering me for a while now, but on occasion, my phone just stops sleeping. I attached a screen shot to show what I mean.

It happened on stock, so I've tried a couple other kernels, but they have the same problem.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
Yes, probably you're experiencing the "AndroidOS" runaway issue. This is a nebulous and currently unresolvable issue, probably related to some Samsung/Sprint driver issue(s) causing feedback loops between the events/0 and suspend processes. It seems to be fixed temporarily by a reboot, or just randomly. It may or may not be associated with excessive battery usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I used to get those solid awakes, but then I froze a lot of apps and it went away.

I didn't do it systematically to figure out which was the cause.

As an aside, if you have an older version of FlightView, then that could definitely cause the issue. That isn't a stock app, but is somewhat popular and had a bug keeping the phone awake *even though it wasn't configured to do anything*.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
Ironically, my AndroidOS has always been high (almost always higher than display), but it would always sleep just fine, and my battery-life was pretty good. But every time this happens, my AndroidOS is actually lower than usual.

So I've temporarily disabled Juice Defender (just in case it was interrupting something and confusing it into holding a wake lock) and removed the Facebook widget (Better Battery Stats had that listed as 50% of the wakeup events, which is just ridiculous).

I set a custom reference point so I can watch it for a while and see if anything weird pops up. It seems to be happening more often in the last week or so, and the only thing I did back then was remove Watchdog, because I haven't gotten any alerts for about a month.

I have noticed that usually when it gets stuck in an awake state for a long time, it also coincidentally has a stealth LOS, and rebooting will magically cause texts and voicemails to appear. Let's hope the December radio update fixes that problem.
