i'm on sbfmod, data network have problem, when i change 3G to 2G, the icon only show G instead of E like another ROM, and sometime it's cannot connect.

If use normal stock sbf, it OK, but i want to use sbfmod cause it have large internal storage.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
Trying this rom out now, very smooth, no problems so far. I set the lcd density to 230 though.

just realised i dont have gapps! where do i download it?

edit: nevermind, i downloaded gapps from cyanogenmod wiki already, thanks.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I'm seeing similar things on xt720mod.sbf (In my case I see 3G instead of H). But I'm not sure it isn't just cosmetic. One thing peshovec does differently is to mount the cust partition on /system/etc/motorola. Most XT720 and A853 roms don't do that. /system/etc/motorola contains a lot of the stuff related to carrier customizations and baseband. I have no idea which cust partition is on modsbf.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] medalstone:
thanks!maybe that's problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
On xt720mod.sbf comment the line in /system/etc/rootfs/unit.mapphone_umts.rc that mounts mtd@cust on /system/etc/motorola (I.e. put # character at start of line) and reboot. Seems to have fixed wireless data for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] medalstone:
OH!, I've just tried it, it works! Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
as i suppose, that everybody is like me (e.g. if a thread is not marked to contain something new, do not read it :):):) :)

i will make a bump, as i have modified the first topic (basically 9. is the new part, but i suppose (as i just update it from time to time) that if you have not looked here for a while, you will discover other new for you information :) )
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Thanks a bunch Pesh much appreciated buddy! This ROM is amazing!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Howdy all. Just flashed this on my nieces phone and after restoring 50 apps it ran out of space. Do I need to flash with sbf mod? Or what can I do? Really looking forward to this great ROM but need more space.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenlday:
I'm running it on Modsbf and have 49 apps, 149 used/110 free internal, 124 used/18 free
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
ok thanks buddy. So oh no I have to try and go through this again LMAO! Hopefully I can remember and won't have to shut down the whole forum to bail me out! lol.

Don't forget Mioze7Ae's fix for the mod sbf
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
(Caveat: I haven't found time to upgrade to the most recent build yet)

app2ext is disabled by default. I recently ran out of internal space, too and I successfully transplanted /system/etc/init.d scripts from CM6 this morning. If I have a chance I'll make an update this weekend.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
Can I flash this (update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-17042012-signed) on a fresh sbf? I haven't really tried the modsbf. What about the sound-fix attached on the 1st post? Is it required to flash it also?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
soundfix is not required (was temporary fix, when were trying to make stock gallery to work....)

i have mention that in the 1st post, but did not delete the attachment (as did not delete, nothing from the 1st post, just strike-it out...)

do not forget, if using mod-sbf to apply mio's fixes (sensors + mount cust partition if there are network problems)

about apps-2-ext. i don't feel that is safe enough to be default. don't understand that wrong, there is nothing wrong with apps-2-ext, but if the user is aware of that. (if it happen auto, there are chances the user is not aware and if sdcrad becomes faulty, there will be trouble....)

Personally (as i believe, the phone has to be able to boot in usable state, even without sdcard), i use the native move to sdcard (did not enable the force move mode, just move what is supposed to be moved, and if it is large enough)

IMHO, link-to-sd is better approach than apps-2-ext (although, not so bullet proof). In the past, when i need more space, i "iinked" manually the large applications to ext partition. (yes it is not GUI easy, but is bulletproof :)

However, if somebody want the mainline behavior (e.g. overclock, app2-2-ext, swap if fastbooted etc....), the mainline /system/etc/init.d/ scripts can be used (delete the original and put the mainline ones). Of course that can be made as update.

However, my current apps load:

~ # ls -al /data/data/ | wc -l
194

i don't how exactly how many apps, but probably more than 100 ?

~ # df -h

I tried it and got "INSTALLATION ABORTED".
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Thanks guys. I normally keep about 75 apps and just like the option to add more if need be, I'm not too smart about all the specifics on how things work so I just go along with what you guys come up with! Lol. I flashed Mz's first fix and it seems to work. My camera isn't working it is force closing and as I think you stated Peshovec, milestone Overclock isn't working. I tried motomizer also and that didn't work. No big deal just stating the normal issues we might face. So I flashed the ROM, then Gapps, then Mz's fix. Other than the little issues It is running pretty darn good. Thanks a lot guys for all the good work.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

I got myself into a bit of a pickle here lol. I need to flash back to ChronosX but don't have much time to mess with it, have to go to work, would Mz's patch work with it? I know, probably not but it would be nice! lol.

I will give it a try...

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

I was able to flash my ChronosX Backup on Mod SBF and flash Mz's patch and it seems to have worked! She has about 100 apps too and she now has 259mb total space with 105mb leftover! But now the backlight is staying lit. Uh Oh. Can you help me to fix that Mz? Looks like my only issue.

***Edit Nevermind I will just put your CM6 on it for now. Might be her best bet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
ROM is great bud, only one issue I have noticed so far is chinese in browser. Not sure how to fix it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Where in the browser...? I've never encountered that on this? Which version are you running 1704?

Edit: I've run 0404 for weeks and never seen asian in the browser (except when visiting asian sites). I just installed 1704 and also don't notice this. Maybe try changing and rehanging your language preference in Settings and reboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
New update

Here's a new update for both update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-17042012-signed.zip and update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-04042012-signed.zip that incorporates the customizations I've been using. It should make this easier to use out of the box.

Features:

Includes sensorfix for xt720mod.sbf (harmless on other sbfs)

Sets default density to 240

3G fix included

Init scripts ported from CM6 (adds native support for app2ext, link2sd, Milestone Overclock)

compcache enabled when fastbooted from bootz.img--defaults to 20MB ramzswap edit /system/etc/init.d/02ramz to customize)--compcache is swap into a reserved portion of RAM that uses compression--it's basically swap without using the sdcard. It requires fastboot boot of bootz.img found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25599172&postcount=16 This is experimental.

Swap support is included [but is disabled by default--it conflicts with compcache--to enable make /system/etc/init.d/06swap executable and remove or disable /system/etc/init.d/02ramz]

Includes mmcfix

No need to apply my previous update. Just as full FYI I've been running the 0404 version using nadlabak's gapps-gb-20111216-signed.zip for the last weeks and just updated to 1704 version.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
WOW Thank you good buddy!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
:O i just updated to 1704 rom and the messaging app is missing!

oh, i restarted and its back. sorry.

the 3g problem back in the 0404 version is gone. yay, dont need to fix it again. haha

@MZ so if i wanna use that new swap method, i just reboot with bootz.img?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yes, just fastboot it.

I forgot to list that the update includes the 3G fix.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
hmm, two times i booted with fastboot, and both times it managed to reach the homescreen, but it just hanged. the screen was on but the phone wasnt responding, so i had to do battery pulls.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've been running bootz.img for 2.5 hrs now since upgrading to 1704 (and a day or two on 0404 before updating). So on your phone normal boot works, just problems when using bootz.img? I think you're using Milestone XT720+xt720mod.sbf?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
yes, im on modsbf.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
So who has the best link for the best themes for CM7?

This ROM is great, thanks guys for helping me last night, I am always under the gun and time when trying to set up a great ROM for my niece. She is very happy now and loves her phone. I just flashed it on my XT as well and am making a nandroid for my friend who has an XT and want to add a few good themes for her. I know how to find most of them but if someone knows where to get the best I would like to check it out.

I am having the SOD issue with mine but my sdcard is destroyed, it's a pain in the arse to get files to copy and use. So I know it is just an sdcard issue, my niece isn't having this problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
So is anyone else having issues with camcorder? It doesn't work for me, just freezes. Could be my sdcard since it is a fake.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't think camcorder works for me, but I haven't tested extensively.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
just run quick test. wide 30 records and play....

what exactly are your troubles?

trying to slide on screen, relying on auto completion

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Well I just bought a new sdcard samsung class 10 and I have never checked to see if camcorder works til after the new sdcard and wondered if camcorder works or not so I can rule out the issue being caused by the new card. Camcorder just freezes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
It doesn't seem to be working for me either. The Camera app just freezes after pressing the button to start recording.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
well,

as i had run tests with both stock and fastboot kernel, probably i am using a little different version...

so with this update:

https://github.com/downloads/peshovec/playground/my-video-working.zip

i am able to record video (tested just "wide")

i will appreciate feedbacks if it works for you too... (or not)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Thanks a bunch peshovec my niece has been running your ROM this whole time she loves it, she didn't mind the video not working she says she don't use it anyway lol. Flashing the update now buddy, thanks again I knew you would come through for us!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Camcorder still does not work. Just freezes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
well, that is strange ....

As far as i know, i am the only* who did not use overclock... So can you Please be so kind to repeat the tests without overclock ? Also specify if You tried the "wide" profile. logcat if still no luck will be appreciated ...

remark*: well, it is true, that i did not use overclock:), but if i fastboot i "cheat" and got 600 instead of 550 MHz, also got 800 instead of 720 ... voltages are the same as in stock...

p.s. just figured out, that by default in my test branch overclock is not used too, so if you did not enable it explicitly (or using milestonoverclock.apk) the above text is just bad example of English typing practice ...:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
What is stock vsel 56 ?

And is your ROM smooth at 720Mhz ? Can you tell why you don't overclock ?

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
First it was just for stability testing (e.g. if there was a crash, then overclocking can't be blamed, because it was not used :D )

Second: I remember when i was just rooted stock (and overclocked) i had spent lot of time to find the optimal cpu/vsel settings (they differ for every single chip). Worst was that overclock crash was not easy reproducible. Most of the time the settings seemed good, but at specific conditions (temperatures, load, etc....) something trigger a crash ....

Third: I am still not sure, if overclock affect just the cpu, or the peripherals too (reading code, says it should not affect peripheral devices, but....)

Fourth: the omap3430 is designed for 800Mhz. The difference between 720 and 800 is not so big...

After all of the above consideration, i stopped using overlock (hopefully till stabilization phase is ended), but it turns out there are more important things for smooth user experience, than cpu overclock ...(just check your cpu stats and you will see how small amount of time it is on full load).

After i had figure that out, i soon saw, that actually not having overclock is not a performance issue. E.g. without overclock the performance was ok.

To be honest, however, when using fastboot i overclock (but had modified directly the table into the kernel). But 800 Mhz is my top. Additional i had raised the strange* 550Mhz to 600Mhz...

remark* always had wonder what is the point to have steps like 250, 500, 550, 720 .

or in short: yes when the phone had enough memory it is pretty smooth (sometime even surprisingly fast), it slows down when the memory goes for a coffee and forget to return:D

p.p.s. memory loves for coffee is another (and more important issue). that is why i start using cron, with which help memory fragmentation is sometime controlled over time:

i was able to achieve something like over 400 hours uptime, without annoying slowness.

Right now i test so called no-themes build, which is believed to help with the limited memory our device has... but of course at the expense of something*

something*: it is stated, that if something from the play store is downloaded, phone can be themed through it... i never feel the need to test my self, so i happily trade the "something" for a possible memory benefit
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Is cm7 know able to stay 2 or 3 days without battery charge like cronosX ? and is there HD 1280*720px record ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
1280x720 video record, no

my personal experience is that 3g eat the battery very fast.

I did a simple experiment. did not change my usage, just turned out the 3g (2g is used), phone wake time dropped significantly.

As i believe i am a bad user for the phones memory/battery it is safe to believe that using just 2g, 2 days are achievable .

p.s. btw, our phone is good in term of hw/radio. we can switch between 2g and 3g without service interruption (i saw some flagman htc devices to require re-registration in the network for the same activity).

So i just added to the status bar the 2g/3g toggle, keep my phone at 2g all the time (except i need 3g) and i am happy with battery now (when screen is off, the phone sleep, before when 3g was on all the time, i observed very large time of phone wake, during screen off)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] try-and-error:
Hi!

The new version is really good. Very fast and snappy. Even without overclocking. Together with the new kernel from Mio it's just great!

I think the best ROM I ever used.

But there is one weired bug. When I use Mio's bootz.img

and

an app is moved to SDcard the phone immediately reboots and gets stuck in bootloop.

This happens when I move an app with native Apps2SD or if I install a app on ext. Have this issue on both modsbf and usual sbf. Have already formatted my SDcard...

Any idea what could cause this??

Update:

Problem solved by using link2sd. Can move apps now and use swap.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spitcuba:
I have the 1704 build and i wanted to ask if there is a way to make the things appear bigger like in other ROMs because in my opinion its just too small :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
yes, the easiest way is to grab openrecovery scripts and use them (see in the first post, 5. lcd density)

here is direct link to the scripts

https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/openrecovery_xt720/tree/master/OpenRecovery/scripts

download the lcd_XXX.sh ones
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spitcuba:
Thanks works now :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
:D

i have to agree the default 160 dpi is looking a little bit small (first few days, then is ok:D ),

but just to remind, that anything different from 240 or 160 will blacklist some applications from the market (playstore) to the device
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
WOW I think I totally missed your last update lol. Flashing it now thank you very much buddy.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
seems great so far, seems it is missing theme chooser though?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Can anyone help me get themechooser back into this ROM? Backups aren't working for some reason and my niece can't live without it lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
Liberty,

so if you are using the above version, no themes ....

if you wish themes,

my-video-working.zip

from

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

is the latest, with theme support ...

p.s. i am testing losing trading theme ability for a few free ram more .... so far
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Oh Ok now I see, thank you. I think I had her running that version and when I checked it out yesterday it really lost a lot of it's great performance, it was running really slow and taking very long to load apps and things, not sure what happened to it. I don know she was behind on 20 app updates. Thanks pesh I will give it a try and see how it does now. I am gonna run it on my XT as well so I can monitor it better.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I am thinking it is mostly her theme that may be slowing it down. And I can't talk her out of it lol.

Can't save the edit to activate overclock in latest build any help?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Inge2000:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
For some reason can't add widgets or apps to homescreen with the theme version...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spitcuba:
No it won't work because you can't load module you have to edit something in /etc/rootfs then. Overclock works and I cannot save my edit
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
If you use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25690972#post25690972 then Milestone Overclock will work (it adds working modules that get autoloaded at boot)

Thanks man. works now :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Could use one of these for ChronosX!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Under cronosX you have to edit /system/etc/init.d/10overclock

to overclock.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Howdy Pesh was wondering if there are any updates to your ROM?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] arusiasotto:
This is a fairly smooth running app. It boots faster than Chronos X, and the Camera works much better without a FC, but the Camcorder does not work. Nor do videos I recorded on my previous ROM play, so I have been unable to test HDMI.

Something odd I noticed, I own LDW.Launcher EX, so I installed it, but when I reboot the phone it uses the older version instead, and I have to reset the home key to EX. I also lose the keyboard I am using every time I reboot. Anyone know how to fix this? I am using the non-themed copy of this ROM.

EDIT: Deleted ADW Launcher with Titanium, moved EX to system App.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jufece:
Video recording is working for me. But not in HD you have to change it video recording settings.

I like this rom. Milestone overclock works great and autoload on boot. But im having just 2 problems: When i take a picture camera just close without error message just cclose. I prefer the motorola default camera app and gallery but i cant get moto camera work in this rom :(

and de Media Gallery if y choose "My captures" it doesnt show anything says "No elements, Make a picture..." so i have to choose "All photos"

Everything else is fine, just that
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] arusiasotto:
You are correct, I had to figure out how to put the recording on Wide (that button is tiny), so now I can play record and play videos. The Paypal Here Card reader doesn't work, sadly.

Considering the front camera is still not working on any ICS build that I know of for the Evo4G, I wouldn't think it would be talked about much as one would definitely be important for the other.
[EVO 4G General] lavarea4:
This doesn't seem like it would be all that secure. Does it distinguish between your real face or a picture of your face that can be placed in front of the camera?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It scans and maps features on your face.

And to the OP, until the front camera is working in any ICS rom, we wont have it. It cant be ported to a Gingerbread rom.
