Try Kahl's v4 Epicbluesteel. It is a 2.2 and as stable as they come. Its older but works.

These ROMs need to be maintained like any other ROM for any other phone. What works or your experiences on an HTC or LG are not going to be the same as on XT. First team Cyanogen does not dev or support this phone at all. It is mainly a few of our own that are putting it together. Jumping from ROM to ROM makes it difficult to diagnose the problems. Most of the issues with almost all of these ROMs have been worked out already in their threads. Sure they are long but most of the answers are there. Dont forget that this phone already has low memory issues, so that is already hamstrings you with many problems. It is a good, quality phone but needs to be tweaked and maintained. We can help though.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
One other thing to check are your vsel settings if you are overclocking. When we were experimenting with swap we found that the vsel had to be increased. Also, it has been claimed on the A853 that there are bugs in the kernel's sdcard implementation and that some newer sdcards are incompatible. Nadlabak has some hotpatches (mmcfix.ko) for A853 but our kernel is older. Fjfalcon includes that on CM7 now but I don't know if it works. This phone does corrupt sdcards like crazy.
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
the Cyangen mod 6.3 rc3 is as close to the mod on my HTC - I like it.. I am used to the interface..

I agree with ALL GAMER that performance with this ROM is the best I have had as well.

ok, what I am going to do is spell out what I have RIGHT NOW.. and see what suggestions people have.

Xt720 wind mobile Canada (btw when I loaded 6.3 - it did not setup APNs I had to do it manually - every other rom setup automatically) (previous roms has specific TYPES listed, Wind told me to just put default for type.. does that sound right?)

Adata 16gig class 10 microSD

Milestone OC running at 1000/74 apply at startup

Setcpu on demand 1000/250 apply at startup

I have installed Ram manager Pro (set to Heavy Gaming)

I have VM Heap tool installed (set to 32)

I use DroidSail Super App2SD to move apps to card.

I use Easy Battery Saver for battery management

I have ES task manger installed - not sure how to use Widget only...

I like iphone keyboard so I have sixgreen.com iphone keyboard installed.

Now I want a phone :) - actually best part of XT720 very clear.

GPS

SMS

EMAIL

MUSIC (would like FM radio)

WIFI (and I need to hotspot or tether)

Camera - seems to work fine in 6.3

This is most of what I can think of at the moment.. anything else I need to tell you about?

James
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
Interesting.. I did find that myself.. the last SD card did corrupt, and I thought that had to do with the fact it was only CL2.. maybe not .. hmmm

OK, so is transfering apps to the SD not a good thing then?

James
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Fair enough.

Have you tried fifalcons cm7 or j.y.daddy ice fire .

I have had no problems with cm7 but I have only used J.Y.Daddy cm7 builds.

Cm6 only had one issue half time it would not find sdcard.

You have seen my screen shots of ram and performance.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I do it all the time. But I use app2ext: create a second ext2 partition on your sdcard--mine is 1GB but it's nowhere near full--512MB would be plenty--promote it to ext3 or ext4 using SD Card Utilities in OpenRecovery XT720 (don't create ext4 on a PC our kernel doesn't support huge_file) -- ext3 and 4 are journaled and recover better from hard crashes. Then create a folder called "app" in the ext partition (/sd-ext/app) and reboot.
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
So... this might be somewhere I am going wrong...

You say a second ext2 partition.. I dont have 1.. I only have FAT partition.

why would I have a ext2 partition in the first place? swap? I dont know how to use swap.

James
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It's a different way to put apps on the sdcard. It moves all downloaded apps into a second partition on the sdcard. If you wanted swap that would be a third partition.

I don't bother with the froyo native app2sd-- for whatever reason it seems like more of a hassle to me to manually move some.
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
Ok, so to the point.. will swap help? I have seen conflicting reports in threads...

I have seen people running their phone at 1200mhz.. others at 1000mhz.. 1200 at 80vsel will use up battery faster correct?

Any other suggestions to what I am doing / using right now?

reflash 8 time

I try 8 rom so far. khal, at youtube watch?v=Axj-iDPI8lc (sorry I am not not permitted to post outside links) is the fasted one that I try, find CM6 good, I like Miui the most, I underclok at 550 mhz and a charge last 2 days. find the phone crashing all the time with origial sd card that come with the phone, replace with new good quality sd card and now it is not crashing anymore. Hope its help.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
@Biker1bob

i'll suggest Link2SD

it works way better than Apps2SD or Apps2EXT and you can actually control it easily with Link2SD

I am running currently that version of Miui (nandroid) http://www.mediafire.com/?bo71v7t5fnv92ss

I create 3 partitions on SD card fat32, ext3 and a swap. In ext3 partition create a dir "app" Miui transfer all new apps to ext3 true build in a2sd. free memory are +/- 130Mb all the time, no matter how much apps you install.

I am new to Android Phones I flash and Android Tablet before but it pretty Simple

Put the flash on Memory card in Root turn it on it would then it would flash the Tablet

then it would ask your remove the memory card it would give you 30 seconds then it would reboot

I then delete the flash reinstall the memory card and was done..

Since I am I am asking Questions

if I do flash the will it damage the wind Moble base band?

is there good You tube Video on art of flashing the milestone 720

The reason I ask for Video is cause Learn better hands on Reading is not my strong point

Thanks in Advance
[Milestone XT720 General] TIMZOZO:
Reverendkjr has some tutorials on flashing to xt720. Just Google and check them out.
[Milestone XT720 General] TIMZOZO:
If you have baseband issues after flashing then try other roms and see if problem persists.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] doowopmario:
I uploaded about 12gb of music on my 16 gb SD card and then decided I didn't need all that music, so i connected my phone to my mac and opened the music folder on my phone and deleted all the music files. I then unplugged my phone and checked the storage capacity on the card and it still shows that 12gb are used.

How can I permanently delete all the music I installed without having to erase the card and re-install all the apps I have on there?

EDIT:

I figured it out. I reconnected the phone back to my macbook and then emptied the trash. I could see the memory increase as the trash was being emptied.

Case closed.

try MoboPlayer

moboplayer would help...but if rock player cannot play it, i guess your file has been broken while passing to your phone..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
I have an SGSII, rooted with Odin/CWM 4 and I cannot restore any system apps using Titanium Backup - it simply sits there saying 'Restoring App' and nothing happens. Normal apps can be restored OK. I tried changing the app processing mode in TB to Auto/Indirect but it didn't help.

Any ideas? I have TB Pro FWIW.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Can't you just restore systemdata? I assume the apps are there already.

ps you know the downside of restoring system apps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
I backed up and then uninstalled some system apps using TB Pro (TpLauncher, AccuWeather, etc.) but now I'd like to get some of them back. I assumed using the TB restore option was the way to go.

What's the downside of doing this? Can I restore these manually?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Same happened to me, I guess lesson is don't uninstall sys app unless you really don't want them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
Glad it's not just me and I have a nandroid so I can get everything back but it's annoying. I've reported it to the TB devs. If they come up with a solution I'll let you know.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
FWIW these were apps I first freezed, then uninstalled (without unfreezing). I wonder if this is relevant. Perhaps the permissions are screwed or something. If I could get a TB log I could find out. Hopefully the developers will help out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limeaid:
Bump. Any updates on this? I'm having the same problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
Here is my reply from Titanium Backup support:

"We're sorry, system apps are critical and should not be removed in the first place. Some apps are tightly ROM bounded, while others are dependent on other system entities which could break things when they are removed. We have already provided the warning in the preferences that you will be held responsible of your own actions upon removing the system apps and we will not provide support for restoring them back. In most cases like this, you will have to reflash your ROM or restore your nandroid backup (you must always keep a nandroid handy)."

So in other words - tough sh*t! Not what I was expecting.

I restored my Nandroid and now only freeze apps, and they seem to defrost OK but after that reply I'm wondering if I should continue to use their product.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
In fairness they are right, anyone who uninstalls system apps is asking for trouble why would you want to do that in the first place,you can simply freeze any apps you don't use instead, i have most of the Samsung bloatware frozen in Titanium as i don't use them and many of them are responsible for excessive battery drainage.

BTW Titanium Backup is probably the best overall app in the whole market and they always release updates, i highly recommend this app to anyone who doesn't already have it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
As a software developer myself if one of my apps didn't work correctly and a customer asked for help I would do my level best to get to the bottom of the issue instead of fobbing them off.

The app lets you uninstall system apps and restore them again - why would you want to? because on some devices space might be at a premium - I freed up 100MB on my previous device (Xperia Arc S) using this feature for example - which made a big difference.

Luckily I don't need the space on my SII but I'm surprised that the TB devs wouldn't want to find out what the issue is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
They know what the issue is. The outcome of removing an restoring system apps is just unpredictable. They gave a warning that it could cause unwanted results. Messing with roms gives unpredicted results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avik735:
Same thing happened to my Galaxy Pocket. I uninstalled system apps and can't restore them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
THE solution is wen u want to uninstall an system app den first of all make an back up of DATA of that system app and den go 2 loaction of app through root explorer in internal storage and copy that APK file to ur sd card as backup .

den delete the APK file mannualy or uninstall using titanium backup...

wen u want dat app again den copy the APK to its original old location of system /app and restore the data using titanium backup and just restart the phone..

hope it helps ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenjohn:
Yes, I can restore system data

To be more thorough:

I am able to restore system data of an app but I can't restore an app.

In fact, if I locate the apk which titanium backup had backed up with a file browser and install it manually, it works fine! I can then restore data with titanium backup.

Issue on my Galaxy SII (no matter what ROM I use)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You shouldn't be restoring system apps at all/you shouldn't need to (the data may be another question though). Why are you wanting to restore system apps/which apps in particular ?

I am unable to get USB connection working with my phone for development purposes. I have turned on the USB debugging and connected the device with USB cable and it does detect file transfer capabilities, but I am unable to get the ADB connection working.

I am running Windows XP SP3

It says it has found a device 'Galaxy' but is unable to install drivers for it.

What I have tried:

sdk/extras/google/usb_driver directory

I tried installing PdaNetA302.exe

I tried installing Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Moblie_Phones_v1_4_6_0.exe

I selected 'install from specific location' -> choose a driver -> 'Android Phone' but it had none listed and the aforementioned driver directories did not work either when I selected them as 'Have Disk' options.

I also tried uninstalling all related devices and do the whole connecting thing again, but without success.

Help please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
SOLUTION

Apparently HTC drivers got in the way. After I removed all HTC drivers from my Windows XP, restarted and connected the device, the Samsung drivers kicked in and made it work.

To remove unused drivers from Windows XP you can follow this guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Thanks for posting your experience.

Another problem I found, was that there's a different SamsungDriver.exe floating around, 8341kb. DOES NOT complete the ADB drivers necessary.

After installing the v1.4.6 drivers mentioned above, golden!

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Spoke too soon.

ADB recognizes it when it's booted in ICS, but while in the bootloader, it's not picked up. Thus fastboot commands won't work!

Windows 7 gives me a Android 1.0 driver not installed error.

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
PdaNet

I had no end of problems getting adb and fastboot working for GN due to the usb driver problems.

After much Google-ing...

I installed PdaNet on my laptop and this installed all required drivers in the process of installing, you can then un-install PdaNet and the required drivers are still on your system.

I now have adb and fastboot working for both my Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus phones on my Windows 7 x64 laptop.

Hope this helps!

Thanks to XDA member el3ctrik for this tip!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Thanks, figured it out just after you posted. The PDANet drivers were the trick, in #3 below (don't need to actually run the installation in this case).

You'd think after 1.5 years of playing/hacking/unhacking/fixing and refixing the N1 I'd know how this is supposed to work.

A couple of comments, since some tutorials are based on older installations.

1. Installing android sdk. I went through a crapload of unnecessary trouble in trying to reinstall these, thinking that the usb drivers, adb, and fastboot needed to be updated. NO.

1a. In fact, in trying to reinstall the android sdk, you have to install the Java SDK. THEN, with the latest revision, R15, FASTBOOT IS MISSING! Need to pull that from a r13 zip.

2. You need the CORRECT samsung drivers. The ones mentioned above are the correct ones. I installed some limited half-ass versions which did not do the job.

3. You need FASTBOOT drivers. These were found from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9919944&postcount=1

which states:

http://www.fileserve.com/file/5bgRBX5 (PDAnet x86 and x64 which are the fastboot drivers plus android sdk drivers)

The #2 drivers let ADB see it when ICS is running, #3 (and probably #2 too) are needed while in fastboot. To get #3 installed, I had to go to device manager in Win7, hit update driver (next to the error exclamation mark device), and direct to these files.

That is all <whew!>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
Glad you got it sorted out buddy, I was in exact same boat, years of Nexus One fastboot and adb use, but still had problems! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
I am really struggling to install ADB drivers (for using within ICS). The GNex is in developer debug mode. When I plug in, Device Manager shows the Portable Device, but no other devices are shown. So in this case, i have nothing to right-click to manually install the drivers. There is nothing under Android, or adb, or anything like that. Hope someone can advise...

I got it to appear by changing to PTP mode in the USB Computer COnnection on the phone!! Success.

Windows 7N USB driver issues

First post on this forum, so please bear with me.

I struggled for a few weeks trying to connect my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Rogers) to a 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate N machine. The system wouldn't accept the drivers from Samsung - failed to recognize, driver software not successfully installed, etc. Tried all variety of proposed fixes, manually selecting the driver (have disk), downloading SDKs and ADB drivers.

Finally fixed it based on a very old suggestion from several years ago from an HTC user. The USB driver wasn't recognized in the absence of Windows Media Player being installed on the machine (a quirk of Ultimate N). Found the Patch from MS for WMP for 7 Ultimate N and the system immediately recognized and installed the Samsung driver and thus the Nexus is now connected.

Hi,

I have been searching around the forums but I cannot find a way to uninstall CWM 3.x on the SG2 (UK model 9100) !

This is what I did:

1. Install insecure Kernel via Odin

2. Use ROM Manager to install CWM, however this installed 3.x

3. So then installed CWM 4.x via Odin

4. Tried various ROMs

Now I need to return it to factory default, as I need to send in for repair. So I have done:

1. Install current Stock ROM via Odin

2. Install secure Kernel via Odin

CWM version 4.x has gone but there is still version 3.x on the phone. I am worried if the phone is sent back, they may find CWM 3.x

Does anyone have anyway of uninstalling CWM 3.x, either via CWM menu (using a .zip) or Odin, or even ADB ??

Thanks
