[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
The latest update will be available this month. It will still be in beta. The commingle update will be better in memory and battery life. That's all we know so far...

@Syanthib you have to flash the "Google apps" too. Not only the cm9 rom .

Also the camera works. It crashed on my phone only for the first time. After that it was working fine.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
You can download the latest GAPPS here, http://goo.im/gapps/ .

Hope this'll help.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syathibiy:
Ohh, no wonder. But then, how come I didn't have to download the gapps when I updated to cm7?

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

Which one do I need to download? ^^
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip looks to be the latest
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syathibiy:
Ok, I've downloaded it & put it into my sd card, but nothing has changed. Mind showing me how to flash the gapps by providing simple steps? Thanks. ^^
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Simply put it in openrecovery update directory then go into openrecovery (volume + at startup) and apply update.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
As Zachary said, same method as flashing a Rom. Just put GAPPS (zip file) on OpenRecovery/Updates and boot into open recovery.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] cwkhong:
i think u hv to update together with the rom, 1st update the rom then update gapps. that's what i did, it works. but then this great rom is not for daily usage, fc/reboot a bit.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syathibiy:
How to move apps to sd card?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Not support in ics
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syathibiy:
Oh. So, no solution for this matter? Is it still workable if I use link2sd app?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
I think if you have a partitioned sd card (fat32, ext3, swap) the applications you've installed will automatically moved to sd card. Before, I was on CM9 and I got some applications installed. Then, I flashed a fresh sbf, then moved back again to CM9. All the previous applications installed are there.

I don't know if I have the right analysis.

Or so I believe...

(I followed this method when I partitioned my sd card, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1Tu9l8WNc. Hope it can help you.)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrokos:
you forgot to mention that you have to create a folder on your second partition
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syathibiy:
I still have the partitioned sd card. Why is it it is not automatically installed to sd card? :hmm:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Because ics doesn't support apps to sdcard.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Did you create a folder in ext3 and rename it to "app"? If you did and they didn't move there then it doesn't work with this ICS. You can use link2sd and set it to move new apps automatically
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenlday:
It works in ICS

I've been on modsbf and everything I've flashed has seen my apps, the only changes have been if an app is incompatible with ICS, you don't see it.

Actually same thing going back to GB as well, all the apps are on SD but only compatible are installed.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
I think I should agree with you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
Fj said on cm7.2 thread, that its time for cm9 updates.

Cm7.2 is finally finished and he posted the last update.

(Find fj's comment and hit the thanks button)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Euzhan:
I can't wait for the update! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
Hoping and patiently waiting for the update.

Just a thought, will we get a taste of Jelly Bean?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Keion:
Hah. Don't count on it. Fjfalcon can't spend all his time on porting roms you know. May as well give up on KB.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Euzhan:
True! But I hope the ram space Will be good. :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
IS there a custom rom for xt720 with wp7? I can only find wp7 launcher...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Keion:
Replying to show fj that I care.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Ahhh I am really missing the development here, I used to really love trying out all the new progress we used to have every day and all the things going on and now it is all gone :-( Did we lose Mz for good now too? Its very sad but it was destined. I wonder how much I can sell my XT for now?

It was a sad day when we lost khalpowers, he was good, I guess he figured we got as much as we are gonna get out of this phone. I think we lost Brianli and now Mz. Motorola really screwed us with this phone that is for sure.

Ps... sorry guys I was just venting lol. I love my phone and all the work you guys have done for it, it has been a great journey thanks to all of you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Euzhan:
True :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
:crickets:

I believe Mioze is still around, just nothing new to contribute atm & I also express my gratitude to the few developers who made the XT720 usable & fun to play around with. I feel kind of betrayed by Motorola too & I would hope that going forward they have a better track record (being owned by Google) but I wouldn't bet on it.

I think I'll stick with unlocked Nexus phones now. The development there is hard to keep up with. Added to the fact that my T-mobile prepaid plan is less than half of what my CBW bill was & I'm extremely happy with my new phone.

PS Jelly Bean ROCKS!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I'm still here. I'm slowly working on a cleaned up/unified CM7 build, but I'm a little short on spare time at the moment. I've also been trying to get to the bottom of the light sensor problem when running xt720mod.sbf, but nothing to report yet--I seem to obsess over unsexy things that take forever to solve. ;)

Oh, cool! XT720 forums show up on user cp again :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
~_~ i'am also here.. and i wish to make new build.. )
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
Still looking forward for an update [stable build of CM9] to come out. Thank you guys for all the hardwork.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Very sad indeed but the xt720 is out since more than 2years now...

I get mine (and we are always very late in france) in the beginning of august 2010...

I never keep a phone more than 1year and a half (but i didn t know android before)...

And thanks to xda and all of you. We extend a lot the life of a phone that has been forget by motorola 2month after the output...

But now i m very happy with the last CM7 from fjfalcon and i think it will be my last one... I m waiting for my new galaxy s3.....

Thanks again to all the dev, testers, followers, askers..........

Edit Liberty do you sell your phone??? How much you think you can sell it now???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I need someone to test it...

http://fjfalcon.ru/CyanogenMod-9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-sholest-20120708-signed.zip

IS gsm phone working?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
I can flash this rom on MOD-SBF???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Wouldn't boot and lost open recovery. I think I have to reflash stock now. Not sure what happened?

It stays on the moto logo splash screen even if I try to boot into O.R.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Wow, that really, really strange...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah and now trying to flash CBW SBF and it keeps failing. It is saying code corrupt on the bootloader screen

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

I rebooted the PC and it successfully flashed. So now I am on stock CBW SBF. Shew that was a close one lol

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

My SDCard is screwey, think I should try to replace the file and try again? Could have been a bad transfer...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I just looked in my ext4 folder and it has com.tenfar.defy.bootstrap-1.apk in it. Can somebody tell me what it is and why it is in the ext4 folder? First time I seen it. Can I delete it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I THINK that's Dexter's OR app
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I've never seen it there before. I guess I should leave it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I always removed it once or was installed

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] cwkhong:
easy..let the master do his job in his own time. this is probably the last update for the xt720.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
You are not getting paid and this one more reason to say thank you for doing all this work for keeping this phone alive and running.

I know that everyone here appreciates all that you are doing for our XT720.

Thank you!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Going up...

After work on jb will be fine on ms1 and defy.. i will prepare jb build either.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Hey FJ, Hope all is going well.

I still browse the XT fora weekly so I just wanted to let you know that their is someone in either my RC forums or my tablet forums that has a JB port booting up (at the very least) on the Defy. I'll try to find them again and link it for you. Maybe you could check it out and see if anything strikes you as useful.

Edit: Nogoodusername got ParanoidAndroid running. Not sure if this was who I was thinking of but might be a good place to start, even through PA is a tablet/phone hybrid. I'll swing back through when I know exactly who it was that I am thinking of though.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
hows the battery life compared to cm7? i'd love to try this out but i need to be sure that the battery life is long enough to last me through school...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c19932:
how is the free ram on cm9 builds?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] immiraja:
Here is my test results of fjfalcon last updated image (http://fjfalcon.ru/CyanogenMod-9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-sholest-20120708-signed.zip)

The phone (GSM) works like a solid new one. Very stable then previous versions of CM. The phone didn't freeze like the earlier CM7.

Thank you fjfalcon for the hard work.

The following were some of the issues that I found.

1. Wifi didn't work (obviously tethering also didn't work). Strangely I re-flashed the above image twice and on both times I noticed that the WIFI MAC address had changed compared to the one I had earlier with CM7.

2. The virtual keyboard keeps disappearing and I couldn't figure how to get it back for inputs.

I have already informed fjfalcon through private message as I had to face the 10 post restriction for posting in the developers section.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Whats your experience with camera and camcorder? For me, camera works and takes good pics but runs slow and freezes up and fc's. Camcorder works but sound skips and is distorted. Everything else working pretty good thanks FJ.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] immiraja:
The camera work fine a bit slow like cm7. There is a time lag between the audio and video.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] lwxddlqkillapp:
GSM WORK? i have flashed but,GSM not work .
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
join the club =) I also have gsm not working on this rom.

Developer should fix it...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] lwxddlqkillapp:
COUld you fixed it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
So there's no need for me to flash this ROM. I hope this problem would be resolve immediately. Really appreciate your hard works. More power...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
That problem were seen only 2 times... with some others with MTS carrier and now with one china carrier.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] napnau:
I flashed the ROM. At first, GSM was working but have a poor reception (maybe it was my carrier problem). Then, after a few reboots, it's not working totally. Even when I tried to search for a network, always got an error message. Also, the screen lock function is not working. Or is it only me? Some apps became incompatible with the device (i.e. VIBER). I don't mean any disrespect or putting pressure in you regarding this problems. I've been following your works for a long time. You have been a big help to keep our device on trend. Oh! Man... I worship you. You rock.

P.S.

I hope you can find time to fix these problems or make an update. Thank you and more power.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] cwkhong:
everything working but many fc and lags. i used adw launcher, cannot add widgets. after every reboot, existing apps seems to be reinstalling.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
Thank you

FJfalcon ty for the update.... It is definitelly better than the very old version i had from your cm9.

This version seems to be a very good start for future updates. This time, it looks like cm9 can be used for daily usage, so i dont have to go back to cm7.2 so often ;).

Now i m satisfied :D,

Well done.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
so hows the battery life so far? as good as gingerbread?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] try-and-error:
Hi!

Have strange bug here.

Every app I install is dispearing after a reboot. Anybody having an idea how to fix it?

Is there an option to enable to haptic feedback when pressing the softkeys?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TechfanGR:
Maybe micro sd problem. Try formatting it via pc (back up only videos music and downloaded. Apk only).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] try-and-error:
I'm sure that it's not the sdcard. Have installed to internal storage and with the other roms everything is working ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I have learned something very weird with our phone, I have had these kinds of issues with Bravo and Cronos and other ROM's and I have seen where I can flash a ROM a few times and have issues but after just one certain good flash bam its fixed lol. I have had issues others don't get and it's nothing to do with the ROM or the way I flash it, it just happens for some reason. Sounds ridiculous but its true. Try flashing again a few times...but I am not sure about all the bugs, the main one for me was camera freezing and force closing, and audio skipping and stuttering in camcorder so I flashed back. Thanks Fj for sticking with it Bud we need ya man!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] immiraja:
I did yet another flash today. Some of my observations.

* On hard reboot, all the application from the image does some sort of initialization and all the newly installed applications disappear.

* On hard reboot, the MAC address keep changing.

Rest all work.

Update:

* All the newly install application can be seen in App Manager - downloaded. It doesn't appear in the launcher - drawer. I had created a home screen link and after restart I tried to start the application. It says the app is not installed. Anything that is not system doesn't appear to be installed after reboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] try-and-error:
This sounds really strange...

OK. I will reflash and see if it works.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
fjfalcon created branch jellybean at CyanogenModXT720/android_device_motorola_sholest just now

:-[
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sahakar:
All the best with JB, fjfalcon. JB is the way to go. Almost everywhere its working better than ICS in all respects and even for ancient phones like XT720s.

Cheers
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Jelly bean is supposed to be smooth as butter and run fast and all but I see a lot of complaints about battery life. Supposedly google sacrificed battery life for better RAM management.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] OMGN00B:
The XT720 specs are in my opinion no longer enough for new Android versions without heavy optimizations. I mean, look at Damn Small Linux. I put it in a VM with 256MB RAM and no hdd. Granted I booted off from a CD, but according to its plugins, at boot it used only 8% of it. Now if any developer could do to android what others did to DSL, that would be great.

Regarding the latest ROM provided at the time of writing, I had severe app crashing issues probably due to RAM and all my music on the sdcard was not visible in the native media player.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AuroEdge:
I don't see Market Enabler anymore on Play Store. How do I acquire the Play Store now? Did not install on latest gapps posted in OP
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Looks like it not an option.

I hope in next build i will disable that strange circle.

Keep up the good work :D

Any Help on this!?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
Okay, I was able to get it running. I used the latest build.

I'm using the CBW stock. It's very low on memory so there's lots of reboots.

I have to say I was impressed with the way it looks so far.

I will probably flash the XT720mod.sbf and install cm9 again as I think it will help.

Thank for the great work. :beer:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Don't install xt720modsbf this cm9 will not boot on it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
Thanks for the warning mchlbenner. It saves me from trying for nothing.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
One thing I should say; it takes a very long time for cm9 to load. The bootanimation will cycle for a long time before you finally get to see the setup screen. You might even see a blank screen, followed by more bootanimation.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Did your sensors work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] SayAliFlyeer:
Could I get a link to CBW Stock ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
Actually no, the sensors did not work. Sorry, I forgot about that one.

I could not get the wallpaper to scroll, even if the option is on. But that has been the same in all the different cm9 versions I've tried so far.
