Ok followed the instructions from a to z, no mods.

Facebook app installes and i can use the app but the Facebook account does not show up in settings-> accounts and my contacts do not sync with facebook....
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
yes, is a known issue.

Please- can some of you, or you Dexter, give a short statement about the progress right know? What works and what not?

Not only for me but also for all the others to avoid reporting already known issues or- the other way round- detect not known issues also!
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
if i press camera button here (1-2 sec) it opens?

media button (the small one becide the cam button?) ? yes i see its not doing any action

from what i read now, the known accelerator driver issue + led,hdmi is 2 majors, im not sure about other issues becides the extra languages which for some seem to cause issue..

the way the launcher works is a matter of taste (seeing like 20+ android devices)

- if you're coming from stock 2.1 there is differences and more functions, but if you tweaked alot maybe less features are here, like dalvik.

- rotation is a problem if you plan alot of games with acc. functionality..

- I personally dont experience problems, except the buttons which personally i would love to fix now..

I think overall there is a positive feel about the first working release.
[Milestone XT720 General] TG2008:
Ok, perhaps there is some translation barrier which is why I will answer this again here. You say you install from clean US ROM. right? It doesn't matter. It can be clean or dirty ;)

1. After you install the KOREAN ROM, you then need to TURN OFF PHONE.

2. PRESS AND HOLD: POWER + MEDIA + CAMERA until the Recovery screen appears.

3. Now, RESET and WIPE the KOREAN ROM clean! Get it? (User CAMERA + VOLUME to access the menu options)

no more updates in this one.
[Milestone XT720 General] ranggie4:
Hi krishn. Nice to see another XT720 user joining the fray. I'm somehow sure you did not go through the entire thread. I would recommend doing that before asking questions, because if you had, you would have gotten your answer. Please also take into consideration that ronnbon is the one who did the bulk of the work of getting this thread started and getting the developer on board. I would appreciate if you didn't go shooting your mouth off like that :)

Anyhow, enjoy your stay and let's see how the next update comes about.
[Milestone XT720 General] ranggie4:
Hey there khalpowers. Wonderful to see you trying out the build as well. Hope to see more updates from you as well. For now, why won't you add those videos you made from running games through the HDMI to your TV? ;)

[Milestone XT720 General] ttcool:
i installed the 2.2 on my xt720 but still games and programs are saving on internal memory ... did i miss something to done ???
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
yes, you need to:

1 - check apps settings if its moved to sdcard.

2 - some apps still want to install internally, so you need an app to force "Setinstalllocation" which also exists. its not all apps pushing to sdcard on froyo.. only by choice of author of app.
[Milestone XT720 General] ttcool:
thanks i got that . good job !!!
[Milestone XT720 General] d23wilson:
Hi dext...is the setinstalllocation coming up on market as 'liberty toolbox'?
[Milestone XT720 General] tagott:
Install instructions:

1. root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip

2. install OpenRecovery , use included apk.

3. reboot phone once

4. copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.

5. Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.

6. Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".

7. Press Boot recovery

8. restore the backup "stock22"

9. wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery

I donot think Skrilax_CZ will do any roms.

When I was dext user, I like kb7sqi's rom. And I do not think he will do a 720 rom for money or for fun.

Maybe you should think about j_r0dd or HandlerExploit or ms devs.
[Milestone XT720 General] Xjester:
Count me in

$20 and yes i think we should say 2.3 should be the target ( 3.0 is only for Tablets)

But think of it this way, there is a way of loading custom Rom on Milestone , we should try to get a custom Rom built for our XT720
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thank you for that suggestion- I don't know any of them but that means nothing... ;)

It would help if there would more suggestions like that so we could see if theres a developer who is known and appreciated by several donators...

ms devs= like microsoft developers??? :rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 General] youbaoer:
milestone
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
Folks- I also would love to have 2.3 on my xt720 but we should stay realistic. If we would get froyo and there would be 2.3 for the milestone or the korean motoroi- gingerbread should also be able for us!

As long there are so many donators (which is nice, no question) but so less people with real suggestions and help to figure this out, we will have neither froyo nor gingerbread...

So please help me HERE !!!
[Milestone XT720 General] usmanhafeez2000:
i don't know any developer so i cannot recommend one, the only thing i can do is to make sure i contribute financially with my donation :)
[Milestone XT720 General] TG2008:
Well... we are over $500 now.

If I had the mad-skills, I'd consider it at this point for the free phone and fun/challenge factor ;)

But maybe it'll take a bit more $.
[Milestone XT720 General] xoltrix2000:
Add me in, $20. It's not much, but it might add up.
[Milestone XT720 General] xoltrix2000:
We probably could jump to Gingerbread at this point. It might actually be better.
[Milestone XT720 General] en0203:
probably too hard to go gingerbread. We have korean froyo, so porting from froyo is possible. Porting gingerbread may not be possible as the bootloader is locked and you can't flash in custom kernel.
[Milestone XT720 General] Shadowdancer123:
The boot loader is still encrypted, how did you expect this to work?
[Milestone XT720 General] alx294:
alright, considering I'm 16 and broke, I can't donate.. but I would love to help in any other possible way I can. firmware testing or anything at all for that matter, just let me know.
[Milestone XT720 General] patejlice:
It will contribute $ 50 and I'll participate in testing on my device. Something I know about Linux :) Sorry for my English.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
that's right- but we have the korean motoroi update- I don't think we can produce froyo out of thin air also- but now we " just" have to mod the existing update from the korean motoroi version to the xt720.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
I do agree...

Lets take just big steps- not giantic ones...;)

Again, I need more feedback from you! Which option do you prefer? Do you have any ideas how we can keep the financial part as secure as possible..?

What if the only way keeps a certain amount of risk in getting a not 100% efficient froyo (for example if the developer does not want to give us a full guarantee for sucsess)? Do you want to try it anyhow?

Is there one of you willing to provide his/her xt720 ( In case you have more than one...) for the dev in case he/she wants to have one from us?

Please realize- I really do my best to put this into practise but I can and will not inherit all responsibility for this!!!

At the beginning I was just one of the willing donators. I just wanted to push this a little and started the other thread. But than the others which wanted to hire a dev too did not join in and so I remained the only one in front...

I try to discuss this thouroughly to avoid some misunderstandigs. Theres a great chance that there will remain some kind of risk- keep that in mind!

If you are really content with the xt720 in generall and you just would like to donate when there is a 100% assurance to get it- than please rethink your donation... (I mean so far it is not binding anyway, but say it loud and I will remove you from the list) Just too keep that donation amount as realistic as possible...

If you are like me- you like the phone but still there are some things that would be better with froyo and you really think about selling it without froyo- than you have not so much to loose. If I sell it right know I will loose much more than my 20 bucks and this will be probably the only way to get froyo... so I will accept a certain amount of risk not to become sucessfull.

So- what do you think now?
[Milestone XT720 General] Richie909:
Hi. I'm also own one european version XT720. There are a lot of stories about ''xt720 and froyo''. But I wouldn't like write all that stories here, cause it takes time, and need write too much. Finally, I can say just what everybody we know: We want get froyo update for our XT720's (any versions, not including korean version, in fact - people in Koreaalready got froyo update with their korean versions of XT720's). So yeah, I wouldlike donate 100 $ to people who create it or find out. Just trying to say - I would like put 100 $ from my side to this foundation if there will be way founded how to get froyo for our XT720's or created (hacked/cheated or somehow) some version of Froyo update for XT720's. Thanks a lot.
[Milestone XT720 General] grigorbg:
I`m totally agree with you - step by step. 1st Froyo (If someone can fix the problems), then ... will see.

The phone is very good and I don`t have plans to change it for the moment. XT720 is OK with 2.1 + some optimizations+app2sd. Better that Desire (IMHO) and other phone in this price range. Froyo will be additional future for us, and because Motorola are XXX we must add this future.

So, 20 or even 50 USD are very small price to have extra future and to use this phone till Dual cores arrive to the market (LG is option for TV or microwave, not for phone).
[Milestone XT720 General] TG2008:
Ronnbon,

Maybe you can add the $$$ total, after [bounty] in the thread title? (I think it is over $600 now :) )

Might generate more interest.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i'll be more than happy to have 2.2 on the XT720

2.3 is sitll buggy even on the Nexus S, so, there is no point leaping to a buggy 2.3 OS when 2.2 is solid, stable and compatible with all the apps in the market

once we get 2.2, then we'll have native App 2 SD support, that will improve our phone life ten fold, and make it much more useful.
[Milestone XT720 General] DemoJameson:
maybe edit mount option can fix the problem
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
the umount command is related to the command earlier in the script, which mount sdcard. so it was not really solving the sdcard issue, and it should conflict with vold daemon which then cannot unmount sdcard correctly for usb mass storage as its still mounted on the /sdcard. so its working but not correctly.
[Milestone XT720 General] smoki3:

Exchange E-mail Search

Hello guys,

I also can't post to the development forum (yet) so I wanted to try my luck here. I am not sure if this is specific to the 1.2 rom (I only used the 1.1b for like 2 days), so please bear with me.

I have my e-mail account set to sync with the corporate Exchange server. Everything syncs fine (mail, calender etc) but when I am in my mail box, pressing the "search" button did nothing. The phone would vibrate (haptic feedback) but the screen shows no changes.

I searched around the various threads and didn't really see anyone bringing this issue up, nor it is in the known bug list. Now granted sniffing through 100+ pages through the various threads are daunting and I might have missed something, if so I would appreciate someone pointing me to that direction. Otherwise can anyone else replicate this issue and maybe suggest a solution?

Regards,

Wallace

Market Apps Access

I've noticed after installing 2.2.1 (v2.1) that some paid apps aren't available in the Market. One example is the Sling Player app. I've tried Market Enabler, but it's still not available. Any thoughts?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think that the unavailable apps don't list support for 2.2.1 yet & it's not just paid apps there are some free ones that the market website says aren't compatible with my phone any more.

Hello There... I am a noob to this, but I am excited to get more functionality from this phone.

Has anyone tried it for a Singapore Starhub set? Does it work?

How do I start?

Can someone upload the Gmaps apk :) please
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
What if you go to https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps and choose "Install" (after signing in). It'll be sent to your phone (you need background data enabled).
[Milestone XT720 General] emanuil911:
Yes , I tried it but with no success INSTALL button is GRAY

That issue is with 2.2froyo v1.2

In other way I am Fully Satisfied with Dex's froyo v1.2 no SD problems, no camera problems ( maybe only HD video) but it's not a big deal at all :)
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
Oops. But if I search `google maps apk 5', the first link lets me download com.google.android.apps.maps.apk package. You may try installing the same from SD card (or adb). Tough later you may or may not be able to update thru market ... at least you might get an usable version :rolleyes:

hi im not to familiar with this but i did instal dexters froyo on my xt720 (canada)but for a reson my camera takes pics but dosent save them,it like aving a 8 megapix for nithing.some body no how to fix this problem.and is your sms working find,i receive message but cant send...thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
remember that the SMSC service might need to be configured for your provider, i think thats where your problem might be.. or its the baseband issue appearing so the smsc service do not get correct settings.
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
sms

hi dexter nice work dude,so wath should i do call my service provider or can you hlep me with that.im with videotron from montreal qc.thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
honestly im lost on that topic, i just know the settings option exists :-)

someone you should get the smsc set automatically so i suspect the baseband to be part of the issue, and you might need baseband drivers from your stock rom, that originally worked.
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
now im lost for reel...lol

NICE ITS FIND...found the prob.went to *#*#4636#*#* and called my fone suplyer and he gave me the smsc number that i was missing now every thing is working....thanks dexter

he sent me a direct update by sms so the fone did every thing by it self....lol

P.S:but i still ave prob with my camera...dosent save pics
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
this problem might be SIM card related

because i just had that problem, and they replaced a new SIM card for me, and now i can send out SMS

it didn't matter which phone i was using, as the issue was with the SIM card

so you might have the same problem

very easy to test

take out your SIM card, use another phone, try to send out SMS

if you can not, then the problem is not the phone, but on the SIM card
