Actually, gingerbread (CM7) is turning out to be easier than froyo (CM6) from source, IMHO. This is because a whole family of bootlocked Motorola devices Defy/Defy+/Droid X/Droid 2/Atrix etc are moving into CyanogenMod 7.1 with lots of active development. This means that the core CM7 code is getting lots of commits and generalizations to enable working with Motorola's devices (that's not happening on the CM6 tree which is basically frozen). We do have source for the kernel, but we can't flash a custom kernel. Skrilax_CZ, nadlabak, nothize have come up with ways to hotfix kernel functions though. We're not stuck, so much as undermanned. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Yeah, I know you are working on cm7 with fj, and making progress in something like media buttom, fmradio, led notification etc. are you going to compile these progress to your cm6? It has been a long time since your last update of RC3.

CM6's multi-task performance better than cm7.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rkarsk:
Nope, I'm using CM6. I'm just using putting the APK on my SD card and using root explorer to open it. I then get that message. Any ideas?

Also, I would love to use this ROM but when I installed it, I found that I couldn't manually search for networks. This is a complete necessity for me because I often lose connection to my network and go on roaming, so i have to manually connect it back to my 3g network.

Any estimate when this feature will be available, or an alternate way to search for networks?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Have you try new version, I think I have fix manually choose networks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I don't think so, it is supposed to be in mobile networks, where you can search for available networks and pick from a list the search finds. Only thing in there is data roaming. Sometimes a popup will occur where it says you're not registered to a network and the only way to get registered is to click on the search. Or call the service provider and have them reset it I think.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
well, you should go like this: settings->call settings-network operators

It is kind of difference with other roms.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
WHOAH That totally flew by my head! Lmao! I always run my mouth before I learn anything lol. Sorry Brian you are right I didn't even look in there. Thanks Bud took me a long while to figure that one out! HAHA! Use only 2g networks is in there too I was used to it being in mobile networks. Lots of good settings in there! Thanks Brian!

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Well I am not the right person to be directing you on this but did you try placing it in sdcard/openrecovery/apps and reboot into openrecovery and go in manage apps and pushing it through system?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rkarsk:
Thanks for your response, but now that I know it's possible to search for networks, I just switched from CM6 to Bravo :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I have just flashing it

And so far it s fast

But no multilangage.... :( not even a azerty keyboard.... To be the best 2.2 rom it need that!

And the market(BTW i was happy to see that the very last one!) but it don t want to download for me (it keep saying there isn t enough space but it remain more than 100Mo...)

except that everything is good ext4 camera hd recording (i try it very quickly...)

And is there any theme working with this rom? maybe the last wanhu can be compatible???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I would imagine that your /cache partition is full & that's why Market is saying there is not enough space.

I think LM said that the sileshnair's themes for bravo as long as your using the EMP patch.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I don't know what did it but ever since I got rid of busybox and ran Supercharger AOR version I don't have the problem of running out of space. I have 92 apps and 128mb free internal. I know I jump the gun sometimes but my Bravo has been absolutely perfect and running like a champ.

***Getting quadrant scores over 900 and that is darn good for Bravo

***And yes, Silesh' themes work as long as you have Mz's extended power menu, The black android is nice cause it is light on your system.

***Try pulling the vending.apk out of the gapps and placing it in sdcard/openrecovery/apps and rebooting to recovery and push it thru system
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
but when i use browser to visit "www.bbc.co.uk/arabic", Text do display from right to left!

pro's / con's about this rom?

I'm newer with all android things, i bought the milestone XT720 on october 3th and i didn't like eclair for a lot of issues this have, i would like to change it for a froyo or gingerbread version but CM7 it's under construction and i would try this one....

It's there any tutotial "Install your XT720 ROM for dummies"? or a tutorial video? i would like to have the original 2.1 version to return back in case of crash

can anyone help me? i will thanks a lot

I'm form venezuela by the way, this ROM have a Spanish language?

thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Reverendkjr has some video tutorials
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
No spanish and since it s from a chinese rom i don t think it will ever get a translation... The CM7 and CM6.3 have all spanish You may look this way...

And for the tutorial search on the development forum there is a lot of tutorial for newbies.....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Oh, I'm confused now. Doesn't arabians read from right to left? you call it "same problem", is that mean you like to read left to right?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I have another little issue

My number aren t recognize anymore...

I m in france and the number (when you call) begin with 06 or 01 ...

But when you receive a call it s the international format and it begin with +336 or +331 but it don t recognize it as the same

It was working on 6.3 or 7.1 but not here...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jp23:
So... i can't get Spanish dictionary to text message or whatsapp message, where i can found it?

thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
I know that, and these is no solution for this, for now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Was that fixed in the xda special? Not sure since I don't have that issue
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jo1968:
yes sir arabic letters reads from right to left and joined to each other

in browser it is from left to right and separated

in sms , contacts and others I was confused you are right it is from right to left but separated not joined
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
My xt720 get cursed again....

I installed Supercharger with AOR

I also installed steel blue theme (i don t think it can cause that but we never know...)

And after a reboot i don t have my phone anymore i mean it can connect to network so no phone at all

And i notice i can access to the settings too... It say the app is not installed.....

edit I repeat all the process from sbf and it works.....

But i still have my market issue I can t download or update any app cause i don t have enough free space. But i have 162Mb free..........

And @3dstring i clear cache partition so it s not this

and @LM I try to uninstall busybox but it s the same....

Nobody have the same issue?????????
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I used to have that issue. Maybe you need to repartition and start off with ext3 and reflash. That's all I did besides not installing busybox. Something is causing those issues and it's not the ROM. Either sdcard or apps. I repartitioned with app folder in ext3 and all is super great now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I m not sure that s not the rom...

It work fine with 7.1 or 6.3...

I try an old market with no results...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
But the Dalvik-cache is rebuilt on the /cache partition so once you reach a certain point you run out of space. If you have Root Explorer you can navigate to the cache partition and see the free space
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
You re right it s full...

But what can i do?? If i wipe it by AOR it will rebuilt it on the reboot... So it s rom issue no??? Why am i the only one to have this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
You can try getting link2sd working because it is able to move dalvik to your ext partition on an app by app basis. I've run into this issue on all the ROMs except for CM. In theCM ROMs you can have the dalvik for just the system apps on the /cache partition with the rest being built on /data.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I will test that thanks

But i can t understand why my cache is full... I just install this rom and clear dalvik cache at the beginning. I try another time right now and after the reboot its full again:confused::confused::confused:

I try... But i can t get it by the market so i try to download the apk it works but don t want to install (it says app not installed)

So i m stuck... Bravo don t want me i will have to try another rom....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Have you checked what folders you have in ext? I have dalvik-cache and app and I'm not running out of space and everything is working good. Did you pull the vending.apk out of gapps and push it through system?

Here is my browser when I type in the search all language turns chinese or arabic I think.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
So you move your dalvik to ext but how??? With App2sd???

I don t have a cache folder in my ext (normal i don t use cache to ext i never have the need with others roms)

I didn t try to push the vending.apk cause i reinstall it by AOR but it s not the market it s the cache which is huge and i don t know why....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I tried using link2sd and it didn't solve my problem so when I reflashed I decided to go back to app2sd and when I checked my ext4 there was a link2sd, dalvik -cache and downloads folders. I deleted the link2sd folder and left the dalvik-cache folder but deleted it's contents to start over and made an app folder. And since doing this I have no issues except for the foreign language sometimes when using browser.

So doing that and not installing busybox was the only fixes. Create an "app" folder and a "dalvik-cache" folder
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jp23:
i have

0 0 android

0 1 POWERVR_SGX530_121

What this change do?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Running Bravo since this morning and I have to say, man this is fast!

I flashed 1.7, updated epm, wiped everything and applied black theme, running V6 via OR.. prior to flashing I restored a nandroid of my ext to convert it to ext3 and I don't have any issues with market at all, downloading apps fine over here..

Only 1 issue I can find so far, everytime I try to search my SMS, messaging FC's on me.

* didn't have to update market manually btw..

* another issue I just came across, I am getting random "no route to host" error on XDA app and "connection error" on FB even when I'm connected via wifi.. I don't have a problem when using browser though.. I know I've read an issue similar to this before, when apps aren't able to connect.. just can't remember where..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Never had those issues before

Hey Mz, is swap even enabled on bravo? I don't think it is?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Yep, we win some we lose some buddy.. lol..

Hey Brian, just a thought, is it possible to incorporate the ability to skip music tracks from volume button on bravo..? This is a great feature from the CM ROMs.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
You mean use volume button to switch songs instead of volume control?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Yes, but only when the screen is off/locked.. it's been on every.CM rom I've tried.. it's pretty handy. :)

Volume up = next | volume down = previous.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Just an fyi on the FCs. I have found that after I flash a new ROM and restore my ext, I let it settle down and then reboot back into recovery and do the Zipalign and Fix Permissions and it takes care of most of those for me. THe Fix Permissions will put 2 items on your SDcard. If I have do it before, I usually delete those first and then run it. One is an .sh and the other is a log I think.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I went to the Judas Priest concert at U.S. Bank Arena the other night and decided to take my Xt with me to see how it performed. Battery life was awful that night seemed to drain fairly quick and then started to take some pics and they turned out pretty bad so I stopped. Also it seems whenever I am in a situation like that where i want to take pics the XT starts to act up and can't handle it. Just like when i went to washington, came back with awful pics lol. One thing that may have caused my battery issue is the 3g, I didn't check my apn settings after putting my sim card in they could have been off forcing the radio to work more and as far as the camera it probably just boils down to the shortage on RAM. I think the 3g acting up or something to do with the radio or whatever causes the phone to get screwey cause then when I am home or not out my phone runs great. I don't know, I am no professional just my take on it. My friend is wanting me to hook her phone up cause she is tired of it rebooting and messing up whenever she uses her camera and she is on stock 2.1
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
You have so much expectation on xt720's camera, maybe sometimes it disappoints you, but I want to say, Camera on xt720 still are the best of all smartphones have currently.

If you take pictures in empty and dark situation, I think, It will be awful even a digital camera, there are problems like focus, exposed, camera can't get enough luminous flux in empty and dark situation.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah you are right, but that makes the xenon flash not such a big deal. My nexus s camera is much much better than the Xt. Good crisp clear pics, My XT is always fuzzy.

The pics weren't too bad, I do expect too much I guess but that is why I bought the phone, they hyped the camera up

It's not so much the quality of the pic, as to how it starts to act up when taking pics and trying to send them to friends and uploading them. It's all too much for the phone to handle.

And as I said, I think the apn could have been off, after I popped my simcard in I had 3g showing so didn't worry about checking apn's since I was in a hurry but then my battery drained quickly and I couldn't send mms or upload a pic to facebook. So I bet I was just missing my mms apn setting
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ahhavmt:
Oh great! It is better than the old. I like it :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
libertymonger, i also have very often problems with the camera.. especially when i really need it :(

not with that bad quality, but fc's, freezes, not-saving pictures!!

taking pictures on 2.1 was very nice, apart from that 2.1 sucks though!

& battery life is still terrible. completely drains within 5 hours, most time only standby, some music & 3g internet. i love CM, but i kinda feel that CM7 isn't that suitable for our xt720. i'd like to go to cm6, but waiting for mioze's update ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
These pics taken with the nexus s are amazing compared to our phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] abet1017:
LM I think xt720 camera is better than nexus s... take a look of these pictures taken in my xt720 cm6 camera 8mp...

When I uploaded it the resolution is reduced but still considered quality pictures....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jo1968:
arabic fix

dear brainlili after long search I find a two files to fix arabic

I used root explorer to copy them to system/lib and reboot

now the rom read arabic in correct way in sms , contact ,browser and other

here is the two files to people that want arabic
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Interesting. I would not have guessed libskia needed to be replaced! Not too surprised about libwebcore in retrospect. Are these versions from Milestone A853?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jo1968:
no from nexus and I find them in an arabic mobile forum to fix arabic for dexters foryo and I try them on brainlili and they work perfect
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah you're probably right but not in low lighting shots. Our Xenon flash isn't what it's all cracked up to be lol. Also I messed up by not turning airplane mode on. That would have helped I guess.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
In my experience any on camera flash is only going to be good for like 8-10 feet. If you add a good external flash on a dSLR you might be able to double that, maybe a little more with a nice fast lens. If you really want to compare the pictures you should take pics of the same scene with both at the same time.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
It's really not an issue, I was just disappointed on how my phone was acting the other night but like I said I should have checked and set the apn's right and when taking pics in a situation like that it will probably help to turn on airplane mode. I shouldn't have even posted anything about it lol. I haven't been getting out much and haven't been taking many pics worth taking so the few situations where i really wanted to didn't go to well lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
It is great, I can't read a word in arabic language at all, I barely have any sense about this issue. thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
It is true, with perfect light, xt720 takes amazing pictures, sharp and colorful, here is a pic took by xt720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
A flash isn't going to illuminate the whole arena ;) Another trick is to decrease your resolution and also fidget with the white balance and focus settings. For example in the arena like that you probably want to set focus to infinity rather than autofocus. The Motorola camera app isn't bad, but you have to monkey with it a bit. I was playing with Camera360 today and it also seems to have a nice UI. I hate the AOSP camera UI.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I know Lmao I wasn't thinking when I said that I was just going by all the fuzzy pics it takes in low lighting, it should at least be crisp, I know that isn't the flash and the biggest problem is how it freezes up and reboots and goes haywire when trying to take pics in situations like that. It is very disappointing and embarrassing when trying to show the sucker off or when friends want me to send them pics and I don't have any or can't freakin send them! lol. The pics I took in washington were straight awful and I think it's mostly cause of searching for signal and trying to do more than it can handle. it just can't handle taking pics sending them and uploading. It turns into a job. Then when I get it home and don't need it it runs super great! it's like Dr. jeckyl and mr. hyde! lol.

***There was lighting at the Jefferson Memorial but kind of dark it should have taken a decent pic of it but it didn't, kinda makes the flash useless if the pics turn out bad anyway. but the phone not acting right probably effected it, I tried every setting possible then.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I didn't mess with any settings just went outside and snapped a few pics, I just think the Xenon Flash got too much hype lol

Nexus S

XT720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
yeah, the one from xt720 is under exposure, try to set higher ISO.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
So I just went and played a bit. These pictures are with flash, right? Can you humor me and try one more time--try again with your finger blocking at least half of the flash? And then one more time making sure nothing is blocking the flash? Depending on how you hold the phone, it might be a lot easier to block part of the flash than you may realize.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
Is there a reason why supercharger doesn't work on this rom? Everytime I use it, it gets stuck at a black screen when I reboot my phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Supercharger does work on this ROM. Try the AOR version. Do not install busybox
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
How do you use the AOR version?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
You just place it on your SDcard and reboot into O.R. and it will be in the menu

Yeah I will play with it some more tonight, I didn't have time last night. I couldn't have blocked the flash though.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
Sorry for all the questions, but where do I put it at on the SD card? Does it just go to the root of the SD card?

*Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jp23:
Well, i've updated to BRAVO v1.7 and as far works great, with the gingerbread keyboard look pretty well, i have Spanish dicttionary input, the led notifications works well charging, i've installed link2sd to move the aplications, Camera 8MP WIDE works well, HD video too

THANKS Brianlii
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Hey Good Buddy gonna update my nieces phone to v1.7, do I flash the Arabic fix, the LED notify update and the EPM update?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Epm update is no needed. update the other two if you need it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
brianlili, have you seen in frameworks files any info about such element of dspextservice?

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.motorola.android.extdispservice.ExtDispBootIntentReceiver: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URL content://com.motorola.provider.hdmi_status/hdmi_status
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Sorry, not that I noticed, the part I look into mostly is "Telophony".
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Not sure how the LED notifications are supposed to work but I noticed that on CM7 one LED blinks continuous for notifications and on Bravo I just seen it blinks only once when message is retrieved. I would prefer the blinking but no major issue, everything else is wonderful! My Niece is loving it! Now I have a Huawei U8100 I need to do something with. Not sure how much it is worth to sell and if it has to be to a CBW customer I guess?

Ps... I only seen the LED notification for sms and it blinked only once, didn't test the missed call notification

Pictures my niece took
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Wallpaper size is supposed to be 960x854 for XT720 so when I resize my pics they should fit perfectly into the square when setting wallpaper but where we set it it is half the size of the 960x854 square so it is a triangle, can't figure out how to set my wallpaper correctly. Any advice?

***Nevermind, I fixed it somehow by going in preferences in go launcher settings
