Sometime ago i tryed to make changes to 1 byte.. just to check will it save sig or note, but it wasn't flashing...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
I see. It's the cm7 rom which I used now links the /sd-ext/app to /data/app.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] OMGN00B:
Guys I appreciate the work on bringing ICS to the XT720. I know it involves a lot of work. May I ask at what is your priority (with regarding to this rom) battery optimization? I had it running almost a day and the battery is already flat. (No wi-fi, no data, no sync active. Always standing by).

It seems even ondemand cpu governor is not enough.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I have no priority at all for now.

I lost my xt720.

So anyone can "fork" mine build and continue to work on it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You should be able to flash a *signed* official boot.img and it will boot. We just can't flash a non-motorola boot.img. Ultimately, there's not a lot of need for this on XT720, though since we only ever got 2.6.29. xt720mod.sbf already has the UK kernel (Canada's Wind version was compiled most recently but according to the released sources it's should have exactly the same functionality as the UK one). Apparently, the older of the two singapore kernels will use TV-out via the headphone jack. But the UK-era kernels have the graphics core set to a faster clock rate. Well, we could possibly try to use the Korean kernel if we created modules to correct the differences, but that's more complicated. Anyway, the point of flashing a kernel from the update would be to ensure that all the devices running the ROM had the same kernel--but since we really only have one it's not a huge deal.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] OMGN00B:
Darn it. Seems like we're getting less lucky by the weeks.

Thanks for replying.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
We should all get together and make a donation so that fjfalcon can buy himself another Motorola XT720. We need guys like him to keep our phones alive.

Agree? Disagree? Comments?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I agree, it's the least we can do if that's what he wants. I know most people are eager to get a different phone lol.

***But I do not want to give mine up, I am disappointed fjfalcon lost his phone, I wanted to at least get ICS finished before our Dev's moved on. It is a big blow to our phone. If you can find a phone fjfalcon let us know so we can see what we can do.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
+1 i think that xt720 is done... so i will upgrade to a new phone in a few days... mayve a atrix or a optimus 3d... maybe a galaxy nexus...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
I see! Thanks!

Does the kernel is universal? I mean does the kernel of XT720 can be used on XT711?

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

It's really a bad news!

I've build from source. But the rom I build stuck at 'M' although my bootfix has flashed. I have no time to find why.

And I don't know how to edit the source file to fix bugs.

If I can, I'll make build for milestone XT720 and my XT711(with bootfix).

BTW, how to fork the source? Does registration is need?

Hi，Mioze7Ae，

Pls give a link to XT720's modsbf, I can't find thread about it. Thanks!

Yes, github registration is required (strictly speaking it is not*, but is recommended). The free one is enough.

Then after login, You will see the "fork" button...

remark: of course, you can create your own repo somewhere else, then pull the github ones (even without registration) and start working.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you! I'll try.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] OMGN00B:
As an owner of the infamous XT720 I agree. However I must say that fjfalcon and his friends are too few to focus on it with their little time. So the question is: Is it worth it?

Hi, fjfalcon,

I've registered at github. My home address is https://github.com/telnet777

But how to fork your build?

Does every Public Repositories under https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720 need be forked?

If I only what to work on ics, which Repositories should be forked?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Go to android/default.xml at ics branch.

It's all there.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
I'm glad you're back. I have been following you works since August last year. I never thought I could do so much on my phone. I hope you could get another one (XT720) for further development. Thank you and more power.

This is a CM9 based Music Player. Delete the old one and replace with this. Nice look.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Hi, fjfalcon,

I've forked all github Repositories (total:190,find two duplicated:android_external_bootmenu and android_packages_apps_Usb) inside of android/default.xml at ics branch.

And all aosp project(total:62) can't be forked.

Pls have a look at https://github.com/telnet777 (I've start a test Repository, total:191).

Am I do fork right? Thank you very much!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No, this is wrong. Generally, you only want to make a fork when you absolutely have to (because you need to make changes). Otherwise, you have to keep each one of your forks in sync upstream--which is a lot of work. So, one of your goals should be to minimize the number of forks to the bare minimum.

If you look in CyanogenModXT720/android at the default.xml on the various branches you will see only a few repositories that are actually maintained by the "CyanogenModXT720" organization.

You may also find this helpful: http://motomagic.org/docs/local_manifest.xml (esp. Scenario 1&2 in the examples section)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Hi,Mioze7Ae,

You are really a warm-hearted developer!

Your reply is very helpful. I want to use a chinese idiom '茅塞顿开' to describe how it helped me, which means to come to a understanding all of a sudden!

I've forked CyanogenModXT720/android and changed default.xml at ics branch.

Am I right now?

271 - <project path="android" name="CyanogenModXT720/android" />
271 + <project path="android" name="telnet777/android" />

If I want to make a build for XT711, then I need to fork CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest, make changes to default.xml(change CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest to telnet/android_device_motorola_sholest), and work on it.

Am I right?

But if CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest has been deleted. What will happen to telnet777/android_device_motorola_sholest?

And how to upstream CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest to make telnet777/android_device_motorola_sholest up-to-date?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

I've found upstream at http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] lwxddlqkillapp:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Just do adb logcat > file on phone start.

Cause error that makes segfault much more upper then your log.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you for your instructions!

Does "-b ics" is needed in the first command? Because I meet an error "error: unknown switch `b' ", so I repalce "-b ics" with "-m ics" and execute it successfully.

So, which one is right? with "-m ics" or not? The first command can execute successfully without "-m ics".
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
use -m, youp that right.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you, fjfalcon！

And I've tested the camera. It can take a clear picture after the zoom line appears on the screen. Then press the blue button to take picture.The flashlight and red light all works. But sometimes(about 50％,I haven't tested much) it exited without anything appears on the screen(back to home) after the picture appears on the screen. And the pic is not saved in this kind of situation.

I will upload logcat(if I can get one) when using pc.

----------------------------------------------------------

Edit：

I've got the logcat. And I test the camera more times.

When the camera exits, there are errors below in logcat:

E/Sensors ( 1762): Couldn't open /dev/kxtf9 (No such file or directory)
E/Sensors ( 1762): KXTF9_IOCTL_SET_ENABLE failed (Bad file number)
E/SensorService( 1762): Error activating sensor 0 (Bad file number)

Mioze7Ae had said that, the Motoroi XT720 and Milestone A853 both use the LIS331DLH chip, but Milestone XT720 uses the KXTF9.

And Milestone XT711 also use LIS331DLH.

So maybe this problem is only on my XT711.

But I've a question to ask.

These commands appears in fjfalcon's rom's \system\etc\rootfs\init.mapphone_umts.rc

chown compass compass /dev/lis331dlh
chmod 660 /dev/lis331dlh

So there is no command to correct the compass in my bootfix. And my XT711 works well on fjfalcon's rom.

Why?

Motoroi XT720 uses KXTF9 and Milestone XT720 uses LIS331DLH?

I'm so confused about this!:confused:

I have a problem on battery life. It drains fast. It lasts only to 12-18 hours on minimal usage. Any tip, trick, or recommendation that works on this issue?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
I have similiar problem. The battery drop fast. But it can work at 5％ for a long time. If reboot the phone, the battery will be 70％ or 40％~50％. So I think maybe the battery capacity management can be improved.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
fjfalcon: So, you are getting another XT720?

I guess you don't need our help after all?

The only problem, that motorola lefted russia.. And i don't wont to buy our xt720 for 500$.

That too much for me for such old phone.

So, good that we have one man with nick alpha142(Murmansk, Russia) from 4pda.ru forums that donated me his own phone.

All thanks should go to him.

And ofcourse to people that support me.

Especially thanks to Mioze7ae, mchlbenner and other who tryed to send me new phone..

Mail from usa to russia is something very hard to say...

Hi,all,

I found RAZR can bypass stock bootloader to load a new kernel now after google 'linux内核重启'(which means 'linux kernel reboot') and trace some links today.

The link is below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599648

and

http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/49-bootloader-bypass-kexec-for-motorola-razr/

The developer kholk said that this can easily be ported to all OMAP4430 devices.

Ours phone's CPU is different.

I'm thinking now that can we clone their source code to github and start working on it for XT720 and XT711 to make them support swap and so on without using pc to run 'fastboot boot boot.img' ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Thanks for link, i send them to Quarx, i hope now with this source he will try to make it working )

We already have some module for it.. but in won't working for now.

BTW, kexec works fine from fastboot kernel
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
lol, I'm very lucky to find this link this morning.

And who is Quarx? Where can we see the process of his work on this project?

I hope bootloader bypass for milestone XT720/XT711 and Motorio XT720 will come soon!

What do you mean by "kexec works fine from fastboot kernel"?

Does kexec can only be excuted under fastboot kernel, not the stock kernel running on the phone?

Hi fifalcon....? Help CM9

CM9 Rom build 13/04 run better build 40/04 but the camera at FC and very slow activity:

1. / Need to fix up 60-70MB ram running slow and hot work

2. / Videorecoring not work

3. / Rom should fix works well and fast, clocking CPU 1Gb ....

4. / App Kill Further applications are operating underground.

5. / Some games do not work Fieldrunners + HD + v1.15 not work ..?

Thanks Fifalcon
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
Here's what I've done to help with internal storage on CM9.

First, always make a nandroid backup before anything else, just I'm case.

I removed all videos from /system/media/video.

fjfalcon: Maybe this could be removed in the next update?

ATTENTION : In the following step, please copy to recovery first in Menu Application Management if you think you might want to recover the apps again to system.

I went into open recovery, Other Utilities, Menu Application Management, System Apps and removed following system apps: DSPManager, email, music (I use another music player), talk (I never use it), torch, trebuchet (PLEASE INSTALL A NEW LAUNCHER BEFORE REMOVING. I prefer Apex launcher). I also removed the live wallpapers since I don't use them.

It does seem to help a little.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Another launcher should be installed before removing trebuchet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:

Is there any way to make it running more fluent on XT720/XT711? And the spare RAM is very low. I have seen the spare RAM drop to zero.

I've used one version of CM7. It's very fluent.

BTW, How to confirm the baseband chip that XT720 or XT711 are using? I can't find ' TI Wrigley 3G' that kholk said on TI's website.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
Fj after you consider cm7 stable enough, you should give up cm7 for ever. Its time to move on to cm9. 2 projects at the same time (considering your busy life) is a long shot.

That way we re gonna have more frequent quality updates fore our beloved cm9.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Better be happy with what we get Bud! These guy's have had a long journey with these phones and I think they want to finish what they started. Besides, believe it or not there are still a few who still use CM7 in the nexus S thread for certain reasons I think.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
Liberty.

I m sure fj won't consider my message above as a thread. Well there s not much to be done on cm7 anyway. Fj is almost pleased with cm7.

Cm9 is a fresh air... still buggy but more convenient in a daily use than cm7 (after a more stable beta).

Whether he is or isn't going to finish cm7 updates is up to him.

Finally I want to state that I respect fj effords and I ll keep using only his roms.

Liberty i m not underaged. So plz don't missunderstand my the way i m commenting ;).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I apologize if you took offense Bud, it wasn't my place to say anything. I don't know how long you have been around I just know Mz and fj have been working on their ROM's for quite a while now and they aren't doing it for us, they are just nice enough to share. This ROM has been fjfalcon's big project from source and I just figured he would like to finish it. And I know that he just stated that he is gonna finish CM7 before he starts back on CM9. I just know these guy's do not like to be told and I know he will keep his word. Again I apologize, should have known you would take offense.

***Not sure what you mean by thread, I was talking about people still use CM7 on Nexus S even though we already have ICS, so it would be nice for us to finally have a fully complete and stable ROM, we have been needing and waiting for completion for so long, everytime we bounce around like you say we end up without a real "go to" ROM for full functionality and day to day stability.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] lwxddlqkillapp:
how long update?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
@lwxddlqkillapp here s your answer:

Yesterday i sent fj a pm asking when he ll be able to post an update for cm9 soon.

Well, i was told that it wont be updated before june (i guess not before the mid of june).

Just keep in mind that without fj belp, we wouldnt be having cm7.2. or even cm9.
