[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
This is just a collection of information, facts, tads & bits about the XT720, which is nothing alike to the Droid Milestone

All this info will eventually go to the Milestone XT720 Wiki here @ XDA.... ( after i'm done playing with this toy :p )

XT720 Hardware is compatible with all the stock ROM on this list

http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720

except for the Korean Motoroli XT720, which has extra TV and stuff, which they will officially get froyo, but we (the rest of the world) wont :( at least according to the official paper https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades

but it might change, only time will tell.

To flash ROMs you'll need RSD Lite (Multi-Flash / Multi-Flex Tool)

You can download RSD Lite 4.6 from http://www.4shared.com/get/ROgx3qPj...sionid=9E0414385997C01090F28DE121A7C635.dc283

it'll read all ROMs packaged in *.SBF extension

Stock Motonav is safe to uninstall and remove with Titatium Backup (requires root)

A clean formatted phone should have aprox 127MB of internal storage

XT720 can be easily rooted via SuperOneClick

App2card works out of the box, it should be the very first thing to adb install App2Card_2.7.3_3Dec.apk into your XT720

App2Card 2.7.3 (3Dec) Download http://www.mediafire.com/file/z4lebfser2nholi/App2Card_2.7.3_3Dec.apk

You can run App2Card the automatic way (might get troublesome), with just a lick of a button "Install EXT/Transfer apps to EXT" or you can run App2Card the manual way (safe)

Run App2card

Grand Superuser Access

select Storage Tools

select Create/Upgrade EXT partition for SD Card

Resize your External SD to your hearts content, (example 16 GB SD can be split into 8 GB fat32 + 8 GB ext2) SWAP is not needed

select Apply

wait a long time for the partitioning and format to complete (speed will depends on your SD card class 2/4/6/10 speed )

let it reboot the phone, when you get prompted to reboot

NOTE: it's easier faster and more accurate to do the partitioning on a Linux machine using Gparted or similar tools, the building partitioning tool of App2card doesn't do a very good job.

Run App2card again

select Enable Apps on EXT partition

it will ask you to reboot again, let it reboot again...

wait a long while again...

App2SD will do its magic, then it will reboot again on its own

wait another while

now you should be back into the OS

run App2card yet again

select Application Tools

and select the Apps/Games that you want to run from the SD card

Troubleshooting Steps:

if you get stuck in a boot loop, hold the camera key, until it boots back into the OS

when the phone goes back into the OS

run App2card

you'll get a message about problem with ext2

select Fix

it'll ask you to reboot let it reboot

the phone should be back to normal after reboot

This is the simplest method and more user friendly than the old symlink static method via ADB install shell script, as it allows you to control what apps goes in and out, also if you ever take the microSD out of the slot it will not crash/hung your phone. Using the old method of symlink the phone will get stuck when the correct microSD card is not found.

However the static method is more stable, until your microSD gets corrupted

Internal Phone Storage Notes:

Before App2SD script 127 MB free space

After App2SD script 143 MB free space
