hi all

i followed the disskusion in Milestone XT720 Android Development CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Milestone XT720 RC1

tried 2 reply but i never posted something so iam not allowed to post in def forum

i think iam not the only one with this problem

tried to make my 10 post in offtopic to join the diskussion but faster deleted than posted

so here i go

at first i wanna thank all the devs for the good work

to see cm7 build from source on my xt720 makes me smile

although thanks to all other guys made roms 4 xt720 loved most of the tested but CyanogenMod is my favorite

my last rom was Mioze7Aes cm6.3

so again thanks to all and back to the now

things i missed/bugs found:

still no crystalltalk

missing the standard gallery 4 hdmi /the realhdmi app i used on cm6 although not working

fixed in the builds i got from

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

when i push hardwaremenubutton/manage applications/running it shows me 0-15mb free ram most time i locked 0-5mb

when i look in other tools like android assistant it says 25-60

is it a bug or is it only cause i have no plan about the ram use

btw what about swap saw the qestion in orginal thread too can we do it the same way like on Mioze7Aes cm6.3

other people with same problems ? some are altough talked about in the orginal thread

hi jensblau...

i'm having the same difficulty with the 10 post issue.

i would also like to post to that forum topic

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

i apologise for the short messages i may post but maybe we can get our 10 post minimum requirement on your thread. or possibly this thread will catch a developers eye and acknowledge our posts.

i have tried many versoins of the roms. however due to functionality and asthetics, i always find myself flashing back to dexters froyo.

i have not been a fan of AWD launcher as the primary launcher of any of the threads until i flashed this CM7 rom. the transitions are smooth and it looks great.

here is a list of things i have found on my side regarding the rom, i have only used the latest build [30.10.2011]:

Camera issues:

hd recording: initially when i went to recording, it partially worked but the screen looked like a tv with an interlacing issue. now the screen is just blank. i'm not stressing too uch about this as the hd recording was never really reliable on any rom, including the stock 2.1.

Widescreen photos: this one bugged me the most so far. there is no longer the option of taking photos in the native aspect ratio of the screen, which makes the phone seem less impressive in the gallery as pictures do not fill up the screen.

Applications:

i have not tested the GPS as extensively as you [30mins] but so far no issues. i cannot seem to successfully launch any gaming applications, whether graphics demanding or not. games just seem to hang on the loading screenshot and shortly after force close. i am not sure if the games cannot load due to an accelerometer issue?

is anyone else having gaming issues?

Memory::

RAM: seems inconsistent, whether 50mb+ is available, or 15mb, i cannot seem to run apps smoothly.

Links2SD: cannot link applications with links2sd, i have triedformatting the partition to all supported formats on the setup screen of the application but still no luck.

other than these issues thus far, i think this looks like a very promising rom
[Milestone XT720 General] jjackichan:
My problem is I can't charge when phone turned off, stuck at M logo @@
[Milestone XT720 General] jensblau:
gps/navi

my navigation problem was the loadingcable from usbradio in the car it seems

without cable no reboot no force close dont know if the radio is the problem or the phone

@shalzn that was my hope to someone of the other thread recognizing this

@jjackichan works 4 me had that problem with an erlier build

update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-26102011-signed.zip was it i think are you running update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-30102011-signed.zip

[Milestone XT720 General] jensblau:
swap

this is the thread i found and used on cm6.3 4 swap maybe i ll give it a try at we

i used the file from post 5 i think

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210343&highlight=swap

is there a way to switch ext betwen 2/3/4 without formating it
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
If you nandroid backup then restore sddata it will restore as ext2. In Mioze7Ae's recovery mod for the xt720 there is an option to convert ext2 to ext 3/4.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Converting along this path ext2 -> ext3 -> ext4 is pretty easy. Going backwards isn't very easy. If you just want to gitrdun, use ORXT720 to make and restore a nandroid of "SD Data". This will automatically backup, format your /sd-ext as ext2 and then restore it's contents. Then you can use "SD Card Utilities" to change it to ext3 or ext4 if you wish.
[Milestone XT720 General] jensblau:
thx 4 the fast help

nice this tock not long time you found our nerdthread big THX 4 your help

maybe you can answer the qestion about swap too

is it possible like in your cm6.3 with fjfalcons CustomCore3.rar
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think it does. I just booted boot2.img from CustomCore3.rar and it came up with swap enabled. But, swap seems to make things lag quite a bit from what I can tell. It shows 60MB free after boot. I think we have too much memory pressure with our current minfree settings so too much stuff is being forced onto swap and we're thrashing. So, it will probably need tuning using something like AKMO or maybe my swap is just too big.

Caveat: I didn't use the other parts of CustomCore3.rar (because I'm on linux). Also, the build I'm running is very close to the one fjfalcon built and released, but it's not the exact same one (nothing about the swap support should be different, though).
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
You'll find that our forums are a bit more friendly than some of the others out there. Just keep posting until you reach the min to get into the dev thread and then you can ask directly.

AKMO-autokiller memory optimizer is going to be your friend for awhile until you get your personal memory issues worked out. It is free in market and set it to optimum setting to start out. Then once you get the hang of it, you can tweak at will.
[Milestone XT720 General] jensblau:
thats the plan

love this forum it allways helped me with my problems

next qestion is how to use akmo strikt or optimum bzw one of the others

wich do you use

and what heapsize should i have tested 32 and 40 i think

but will edit this afternoon after checking this no time have to go to work now

edit:much better after installing akmo
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Go with 32 heap size for now and use the optimum setting in AKMO for a bit to get the feel of it. Then we can work on tweaking that. When I was on Kahls V4 my heap was 48 and my custom AKMO were 16,16, 74, 82, 90, 98 and usually had high 50's to mid 70's free ram always with no swap boot. That was on that ROM, not CM7 though.
[Milestone XT720 General] shalzn:
@ woodrube...

hi there, i am fairly novice compared the skills of the others. i think the reason though is that many of the bugs reported concerning baseband, market. disappearing messages have not happened to me.

in connection with your post above, could these settings be keeping me from running graphics intensive games? they all hang at the startup screen and force close. nfs shift ran superbly on my stock 2.1, and dexters froyo. but now it seems nothing will run unless i rsd my stock rom. i tried brian lee's 2.2 v1.7, which runs the smoothest out of the lot, but still no 3d games.

i would like to be able to run at least something decent to show off on CM7...
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
You just need a lot of free ram when you run those games. The AKMO tweaks will help with that. I suggest getting Titanium Backup Pro (root) version from market. It is well worth the money. Go into settings, apps, running services and you can see what is running and how much ram it is taking. You can use TB to freeze renegade system apps that eat ram. This will free up available ram to run heavy games. Another app is Chainfire3D with 3plugins. It is used for Tegra gaming and graphics. I can upload the plug ins later on this evening bc they are a pain to find on the net. These should help.

Edit: Chainfire3d app is in the market (root) but I uploaded plugins here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19090240#post19090240
[Milestone XT720 General] shalzn:
@ woodrube

tried these apps. but no luck. as well as V6 supercharge, tried a few of the modes.

the titanium backup pro does not function as you described to view running apps, unless i'm missing something.

i have 61mb free an not able to run anything.

going to rsdlite back to 2.1 to test the games to see if its not something that changed entirely on the phone.

will give feedback and maybe you can assist from there. have you managed to run anything graphics intensive on your handset just?

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

woodrube...

this is the name of 2.1 rom i have been flashing : UNMODIFIED_STR_U2_01.1E.0_SIGNED_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.0R_UCASHOTBRTLRTCEE_P001_A008_HWp3_1FF.sbf

CM7 required flashing ti a 2.1 rom before installation.

NFS will not run on this 2.1, i dont recall if i have ever gamed on this sbf. do you think the problem could start with this rom being the start point of all flashing?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Titanium will not find the rogue running services, it can freeze them. Say you do not use Maps for example. Go into Settings>Applications>Running Services and see if it is running. If so, then you can go into TBPro, find the Maps app and "freeze" it, thus preventing that app from running and eating up valuable RAM in the background. FYI without running Swap boot, 61mb is reasonable. I do not run graphic intense games, so not sure if the problem is the 3D graphics, available RAM or something else.

Looks like the SBF that you are running is the Brightpoint one. Maybe try the Cincinnati Bell Wireless one. It is in the SBF thread and has proven to be one of the most stable SBF foundations. I would suggest you try the CBW SBF if you want to test on 2.1 or maybe try one of the other ROMs and test on them to see if it works on those. Don't forget that CM7 is still a work in progress. Build up your posts so you can post in that forum. Others in there might be having the same issue. There are a few gamers over there.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The differences between the brightpoint and cbw sbfs are inconsequential-- just things like default homepage in the browser and preloaded bookmarks.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
He is just having 9 kinds of hell getting that game running. Bet Libertymonger could help him since he runs games like those. If he is having this much trouble getting the game running, I dare not say anything about running swap.
[Milestone XT720 General] shalzn:
thanks for the help guys.

i'm beginning to think maybe there is a problem with my older apk's and data files.

all the games that used to run on my stock rom and dexters froyo are not running anymore on any roms.

however i have gotten NOVA, and Samurai II [tegra 2] to run smoothly and from the experience they seem to be more involved games. so in theory the phone and roms should not have any difficulty with the older ones. so i'm gonna give it up as installation issue. plus i dont really like nfs, it was more of a show piece in the losing battle against blackberry amongst friends...

i have tested the above mentioned on bravo 2.2 v1.7, and cm7. runs a bit smoother on the bravo for now. but it will keep me happy until the kinks are out of cm7.

would you recommend me running swap boot? will it increase performance? or should i not tamper too much now that its running?

BTW, free RAM has dropped like crazy. +-25mb. nothing major running. keyboard t9 mod : 8mb, google framework: 9mb, whatsapp: 10mb. the remainder add up to under 2mb

does this sound right with those figures?
[Milestone XT720 General] vividos007:
Hi,

I do run swap boot on CM6.3 and have seen almost all games working better except a few (9mm which was quite laggy even after a swap). But I think problem with swap is that It freezes my XT720 once in a while.

BTW, I plan to switch to the Bravo V1.7 for the time being as I want to try HDMI out which I never used even in the stock due to its limitation of gallery view. Does the Bravo HDMI out work on any games?

Thanks to all the Devs for keeping my XT alive.

Cheers

Wi-Fi/Market

I've run into two issues with this.

First, the market app was unstable (This is after flashing the updated gapps). It would crash every few seconds of using it. I was able to fix this by using a preview build that's floating around of the new market.

Secondly, I am unable to get wi-fi to work. I have tried re-downloading/reflashing but it has not fixed the issue. Peeking around in the logs, it appears that the wi-fi application is attempting to connect to an IPV6 network prior to authorization, with an address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. I am not clear that this is in fact an IPV6 network, just that's what it appears to me. I have tried connecting to various networks, unsecured, wep and WPA/WPA2 based. The wi-fi just cycles from authenticating to disconnected and back to reconnecting.
[Milestone XT720 General] shalzn:
Unfortunately the HDMI on Bravo is still limited to gallery view. you might find however that the standard gallery has a few extra codecs supported so you can play quite a lot of avi files smoothly without a 3rd part app, and therefore through hdmi.

so far i only have issues with avi files above 1gig that will not play sound but the video is smooth on the phone and on the tv.

i also think bravo supports 3.5mm AV output if you have the cable. i have one lying somewhere from my 5800 xpressmusic, will try to dig it up and give feedback later. its possible that you may be able to output games with this method.

To CM7 developers. is it possible to use bravo's camera and camcorder on cm7? its is highly refined, all modes are present including 8mp wide stills. even though the hd recording may appear laggy on the screen when recording, it records smooth. i would love this camera in CM7 as opposed to the current one.

hdmi

installed everything new from format sd,flash2.1,root over mioze7Aes openrecovery to the 30102011 overclocked to 1ghz heapsize32 and akmo optimum

in daylie test i had one reboot after taking some photos and useing gallery otherwise everything worked fine

fjfalcon posted a new rom with hdmi today in the orginal post but seeming to be something wrong he deleted it cause of bootloop

hope theres a new one later and hope 4 realhdmi app bzw that it works again in the new build
[Milestone XT720 General] ryuuseki:
Looking into the wi-fi issue, I believe the cause may be the device name exceeding a reasonable length. I have not verified this completely, but will update when I am at home. This is the name under settings->applications->development

[Milestone XT720 General] MyWereld:
Using "Advanced Task Killer" you will notice that a lot of services start up after a reboot, most of them unnecessary.

Just kill them off and my free RAM is around 45, it rarely goes higher but so far I have had no issues with the phone.

Just a quick question, not wanting to create a different thread just for this.

The new update that was released, can we flash it over the existing CM7 or do we need to SBF again and do everything from the start?

XT270 CM7.1.0 USB not working

hello,

I also installed cm7 from fjfalcon today, but I've got problems with usb connection to PC - although usb should work according to the list.

Am I doing something wrong?

I Used the update update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-RC-12112011-signed.zip and the SBF STR_U2_01.1E.0_SIGNED_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.0R_UCASHOTBRTLRTCEE_P001_A008_HWp3_1FF.sbf

Other things work fine, i really like this CM7 ROM.

Thanks everyone for the great work.

Maybe someone can help me with my USB problem? The thing is that when i connect a usb cable, no message appears on ma task bar asking me for the USB mode I would like to use. On the PC i also don't see a connection.

Thanks

Try unplugging and replugging the USB. (IIRC this happens when adb is enabled during boot--which is useful for debugging)
[Milestone XT720 General] MyWereld:
Yup, just plug it out and in again and it should work. Sometimes I get that it runs first time when plugging into USB, most of the times I have to just have to redo the process (on this ROM only).
[Milestone XT720 General] nevusZ:
i tried that several times. i tried different sdcards cables/computers

it doesnt work when i have cm7, at bootloader its ok

i didn't got it to work. for me this is important for data transfer, also no ADB would be possible.

i flashed back to cm6 where this problem doesn't exist. sad i really liked the gingerbread rom + cm7 mods

maybe someone has a solution/workaround for that usb problem?

I've been experimenting with sacrilege -- I've disabled JIT. The only effect I notice is that there is about 10mb more free ram which seems to help multitasking, so perversely, it feels faster to me (I don't play heavy games though). Has anyone tried an odexed build yet?

I've been busy with my Atrix for the whole 3 months and almost forgot the XT720. :D Luckily I decided to have a look back into this forum last night and was amazed with the changes. Geez man!!! this phone is already almost 2 years old and the development is still alive. Even the Atrix has got only the Beta version of CM7 yet XT720 has got RC version. I was jealous. :P ... And also happy with my decision not to trade-in this phone. I took it out again and installed the latest CM7.1 (20-11-2011 version).

I installed it over original SG Starhub 2.1 rom. Everything is smooth. A bit laggy than original 2.1 or most of the 2.2 roms but it is understandable. Every bit of functions work, even the app2ext is working by default and booting is very quick (as always with CM). FM radio is again awesome (and also very loud). I don't mind the HD video recording not available.

But one thing, how can we make it to take pics in full-screen? In the original cam, we got 5MP wide screen setting for the photo size. I can't find it in XT720's CM7.1 camera. (it's somehow available in Atrix CM7.1).

fjfalcon, Thanks a lot for your contribution. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] TonyTofu:
The thing is, after i wiped out everything, it started up just fine, and then, after boot, yes, after boot, into the lock screen, it rebooted back into the boot animation, and then the whole process happened, unless i reflash it back to the stock.
