Which apps exactly? If you have done update to 1.2a, you have to do factory reset
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
I instale last froyo 2.2.12. Must be 2.2 with the updates alredy?
[Milestone XT720 General] ivan_helsin:
Have you done factory reset?
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
I did tje instalation tje same way it shoes on the you tube video....so i think so
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
Gtunes app force closes when its transtered to sd and others.i dont know wy.even games the only app that works is apps2sd.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
did you enable EXT2 2nd partition here too? it might be conflict of using both.. i know an app like GPS TEST which install perfectly on sd using the native "move to sd" in application menu.. so if you maybe did both or used a root hack to enable some functions this might easily be why.
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
1.2a

Dexter,

Call waiting does not work on 1.2 or 1.2a.

Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
yes, i got ideas but not tested, if you wish to test, you can get the milestone release and extract the libril.so from it, and see if it helps, but i suspect some countries to be affecte sms wise, as this is seen on blur.. but its for sure worth trying.. i remember it got solved on milestone when i did the 2.2 edition..
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
I am from US using Cincinnati bell stock 2.1 which I have downloaded, but I am not sure how to do what you suggested regarding testing. I am not that technical on these phones. I would be glad to test and report back if you can give me specifics as to what to do.

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
SMS texting works fine as does everything else. You have done a fantastic job.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
i attached a few different libril.so files..

with something like root explorer or a term for your model do like this.

1. copy all files to your sdcard.

2. test each individual library like this.

3. copy the libril.so.XXXXX to your /system/lib folder as filename: libril.so

4. reboot your phone and confirm signal is there, then test if callwaiting works.

5. if not, repeat the steps above.

you need a terminal and login as root, and make the filesystem r/w, ie. run command in terminal :

remount

to copy the files from you sdcard you would normally do it like this. (remember to remove usbmasstorage if shared to pc)

cp /sdcard/libril.so.ms22 /system/lib/libril.so

you might even be so lucky that you can more easily test all this by just putting the phone into "flight mode" which should stop the driver. and disable flight mode again to enable, so the library change takes effect.

but im not 100% sure, as i dont remember if it worked..
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
wath do you mean by ext2

is apps 2 sd included in your froyo,because i download the app and maybe because i ave to apps doing the same job its in conflit?
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
Thanks.

I will let you know.

[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
yes it is included, if your sdcard has a 2nd partition which is ext2 formatted.
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
how can i now if its formated ext2?

r how do i do that?i ave a 32gb sd card

thanks dex
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
please search xda forum on details on how to do it, its something you chose to do, its nothing something already prepared, as the sdcard normally is only windows formatted, now you need both windows and linux partitions.
[Milestone XT720 General] Shadowdancer123:
This hack is just awesome, and almost everything work!

I have found two bugs that I can't see anyone else reporting:

Camera, OCR and camcorder app sometimes just show a black screen, sometimes work just to close camera app and wait a little while and come back.

Shutter is open so it's software I guess.

The OCR app is always stuck at korean(?) and always tries to read korean symbols from any latin text I scan.

Number two is just a missing feature, double tap home to get browser, I got really used to this one. =)
[Milestone XT720 General] ivan_helsin:
had no time last 2 days, so 1.2a was installed just an hour ago - everything works perfect, smooth and nice without factory reset
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
i think just ril.so is not enoght

i think audio/audio2,audio3 etc also needed
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
hi dexter,i download and install youre froyo version 2.2.12 is it the same as 2.2 + v1.2a update r i need to install update?thamks
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
Hi Dexter,

libril.so.ms22 & libril.so.22_1 both work to resolve the call waiting issue. Might want to put that in your next update.

Thanks a lot
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for testing.. ms22 is from the 2.2.1 milestone, 22_1 is from my MotoFroyoSense release actually for a htc device :-)

but great it works.. nice that milestone updates are so compatible on some fronts.
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
I had this problem today as well, Call Waiting is not working.

For the caller it rings and goes eventually to voicemail, without me ever getting notice they are trying to call (no missed call alert) unless they leave voicemail.
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
See post #642

Very straight forward to resolve.
[Milestone XT720 General] markxt720:
Your welcome.

Any way to get the black background back on the text view? It was black with 2.1 but now is white with 2.2.1. I tried searching but found nothing
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
hi dexter,i download and install youre froyo version xt720v12 is it the same as 2.2 + v1.2a update r i need to install update?thamks
[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:
apps2sd

with froyo from dexter do i ave to partition my 32gb sdcard or its automatic.steel transfer apps to sd and every time they force close after a couple of minutes.i just need to now this,because i reale need apps2sd.thanks everyone.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
you need to partition it.
[Milestone XT720 General] vramool:

[Milestone XT720 General] mk2rimar:

[Milestone XT720 General] krishna3827:
thank you very much for the froyo update on xt 720...
[Milestone XT720 General] thrallz:
think you, dexter, you are a genius
[Milestone XT720 General] borik88:
whether we can expect in the future cyanogenmod on our XT based on Dexter's mod ?
[Milestone XT720 General] Brian5475E:
Is anyone else having trouble getting the dock feature to work after upgrade to 2.2 ?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
I have no problem with the docking feature.
[Milestone XT720 General] Brian5475E:
Working now that I updated to v1.3
[Milestone XT720 General] Lezherus:
I'll be donating next week, gotta fix some issues with my PayPal Account ( they locked it after a failure trying to buy from Ubisoft's WebStore). Just got my XT720 and was really dissapointed with the fact of such impressive phone is stucked at Eclair, so I guess that once I don't know anything about programing the least I can do to help getting FroYo, and who knows Gingerbread, to it is donating. Thanks Dexter and xavwanted for the great job.
[Milestone XT720 General] Accophox:
From my understanding of the situation, Cyanogen is out of the question, for now. Dexter's roms are modifications of the official MOTOROI XT720 2.2 (KR) for our handsets. Due to the bootloader lock placed on the phone by Motorola, we can't compile our own systems based on the android sources.

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong with my situation assessment. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
Dex,

Is there any new version to be released? or have you already finalized?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
correct..

the radio and media button issue are far from a solution, as no firmware support it.. and workaround mods are for those interesting in hacks...

the activity is still there, but now its started by others, which is only good!
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
Cyanogen from Milestone could easily be ported, like i did htc sense like on milstone... the issue is requirements and added extra button and fm radio.

but the rest would work from a milestone release.. fairly easy to do.
[Milestone XT720 General] osmanmessi:
Dexter please give us cynagon mode,gingerbread etc.. I'm about selling my xt720.We really miss you.We want xt720 roms.Only YOU can make a stabile rom
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
well, if you don't want to read around but just shouting here, you better sell your phone. :P
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
@AllGamer: You are a Mod here: lets assume we will really have 600 Dollar for this- do you think that would be enough for some of the developers here?

Do you would recommend one or even ask him/her if she would be interested in general?

What benefit does this much money has for us without developer?? :(
[Milestone XT720 General] Riley600:
I'd throw in $10-$20 for this endeavor. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] joe206hdi:
of course i will also give 20 bucks

should be nice if german language will be supported to.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
as you said, the challenge is finding a developer that is willing to do the work.

i don't have any suggestion, for any specific Developer as I trying to figure out if any DEV have had any previous experience dealing with Motorola Android phones

our best bet are any of the current DEV that are already working on the other models of Droids, I'll check with the other Mods to see if they have any suggestions.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
this is all really, really great- but now we all have to seek for an suitable and interested developer! :rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thats so great- thank you very much!
[Milestone XT720 General] ToTTenTranz:
It's great to see this is going somewhere :)
[Milestone XT720 General] cdstewart:
you have my $20
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
Hey guys good news

words has been sent out, with all the luck we "might" get an interested DEV that has previously done work for the Milestone and other phones as well.

now we'll need to wait and see if he/she accepts the task to make a port for our phone :)
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
But then we have to hurry to formulate our terms exactly and the way we handle this all:

Folks- all of you - now!!!

1: we still need somebody who will test the result! I am surely not able to say if this it fully stable froyo or not!!!!

2: how do we collect the money and where!!!

3. do we want a kind of contract?

4. will you still donate if there keeps a risk?

sorry to speak so shortly but we have to get our act together- I want to have comment to from you to every of the 4 points above- that is really important- PLEASE!
[Milestone XT720 General] grigorbg:
- I can be a beta tester

- How we collect - paypal buy you or some admin in XDA.

- No contracts... this is too complicated and we are not legal organization.

- There is a risk, there is a very small chance to success, so we don`t have other option.

If this guys fail or something other... we/you can give this money to some charity official.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thank you- this is exactly what I want to formulate our terms!
[Milestone XT720 General] mx2:
Great work guys...keep trying to spread the word in as many forums as possible!!

I'm in for $10 (all I can afford right now)

If my situation improves, I'll try to pony up $20 :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
Delete my 15 €, I'll increase on 20 €, not that much but I'm still at school!:p

I'm confident something will be possible to get Froyo on European XT720...

BTW: Sorry, könnte leider nur per Post schicken, Überweisen unmöglich da <18 Jahre .
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
+$20 for a port that works in the US (Cincinnati Bell)

Edit: Also, will help with debugging/testing, whatever. I'll help out any way possible. I'm very linux proficient (it's been my primary OS for 12+ years), but am extremely new to Android/smartphones.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
danke- aber meinste jetzt 15 bzw. 20 Euro oder Dollar? Ich mach einfach 20 Dollar draus, okay? Und wenn Du es mir schickst, dann sollte es doch gehen... ;)

that should help- remind me please to tell it the dev if we have one... :o
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
Ja oke wenn du Dollar draus machst, dann schick ich dir halt dann 20 €, das entspricht ca 25 USDollar.

Also allerletztes Gebot 25 US Dollar für ein voll funktionsfähiges Froyo (oder wenns möglich wäre 2.3.) ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] gbtechelec:
i am in

20 euros for 2.2 or ginger..
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
ronnbon

Try to contact the following Modders, and lets see if any of them are interested in the job:

Koush (famous for CW, and he actually manage to strap it to the locked Moto bootloader, to load custom ROMS) http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Dexter_nlb (milestone experience)

TheSSJ (milestone experience)

some of those guys have their own website/blogs (don't know the site for the other 2)
[Milestone XT720 General] ltp3000:
i definately in with 30 dollars.

nice to see that theres so much angagement in this commungity :)
[Milestone XT720 General] ltp3000:
hi forum people,

just got that nice milestone.

i think you should contect the developers and bring them into the forum so that they can communicate with us about all the details and possibilitys. and when this is done, you should lead a paypal konto to collect all the donations. because in some way we can trust you, afer getting all this started. thanks for this at this point.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thank you all- I will contact a few devs today... lets hope we will have our dev within the next days!
[Milestone XT720 General] vsviridov:
I'll chip in $20... Perhaps you should turn this into a Kickstarter.com project :) I hope it's not against their policy...
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thank you I will do that today and invite them to our discussion her!

thats quite a good idea- will do that.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
my request mails are all out...;)
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
see 1.Post- first reactions of the devs...
[Milestone XT720 General] :
Maybe we could try asking geohot for help as he cracked the iphone....geohot@gmail.com

I'm willing to chip in 20$ as well.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
But it looks to me that he and his team are only developing apple stuff, or am I wrong? :confused:
[Milestone XT720 General] Riley600:
And PS3 jailbreaks ;)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/12/sony-follows-up-officially-sues-geohot-and-fail0verflow-over-ps/
[Milestone XT720 General] spyeye95:
This is a great idea, but since I'm just 15 years old, I don't have any chance to give some money. But I would really like to help, for example when translating this version into German.

Thanks to everyone who donates money here.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
anyways... this is out of the scope of our project, lets get back on topic, please

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
I still don't know how we do the payment- I cannot take the money- thats for sure... so theres still something to discuss until we got the answers from the developers!

How does this looks when theres one willing to do this job and we still don't know our own conditions!!!

Please- stick with this!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] finch8423:
If it would be constant development, or at least a way to crack the bootloader and load a custom ROM, I will contribute 15 USD.
[Milestone XT720 General] gommers1978:
Count me in for 30 dollars for 2.2 or higher with the dutch language embedded as well.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I would also be willing to test the result, though I should mention that I'm a droid newbie, but I was able to get the apps2sd script applied.

The money collection seems to be a sticky issue & I'm not sure of what answers are available. I would think there should be some kind of down payment with the remainder due upon completion of the project.

As someone stated earlier, I don't think a contract is really viable with international scope of the members, we would have to start another fund raising effort for a lawyer.

I would think that an interested developer might lay out what we should expect (or maybe what he hopes to accomplish) before he embarks on the project, but I understand that there is going to be some risk & I'm OK with that.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thank you for this good feedback- but this is already the second point- the first point remains:

We have to collect the money somewhere-just to see how much donations we will have in reality!

I am sure that not everyone of the listet donators will really donate-either they just changed their minds or simply did not agree with the final terms of our project...

And I guess we have to do this quite soon- because it will last a time until everyone of the willing donators really does his/ her donation and second, because the people will loose their enthusiasm in this. Time on the internet is not like normal time...:o

At this point I feel a little helpless myself- we would need somebody highly trusted with a paypal account to receive the donations- and I don't know who this could be...
[Milestone XT720 General] ltp3000:
If we would have a dev here wich is well known in the forum around here, High post count and relleased projects indicates this, then we could donate directely to him without a third person involved. Would make things much more easyer.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
this is what i would like to do the most
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
but with this we absolutely don't know how much donations the dev will really get!?

It is the easiest way- but without any securities- a lot of the donators of the list will not donate this way...:(

And what- if we really say: please donate to.... and than the dev says he just got next to nothing, do we expect him just to send the money back? And what if then some of the people here say they did not get their money back? Neither would we know if the person really did that donation nor if the dev really send the money back.

I just want you to think about that!
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
how about donating all the money to the developer (if we find one), he tries as hard as possible .. if it does work he is rich and if it does not work... were ****ed :o

or a reliable admin collects the money.. and then sends it do the developer.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
no answer from Dexter yet- jr33 has not had enought time to really take an adequate look into the korean update.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
Please take a look at the first post!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] earthsword:
i'm still in for either dexter or the other person! When the only other alternative is nothingness i figure 20 dollars is not too much after all!
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
Does anyone of these both (Dexter and jr33) know if they can do it with success ? is anyone of them sure to be able to make froyo on the xt720 successfully?

it would be great if both would tell us whether they believe to be able to develope a perfect froyo on our xt720. (with the other languages like german .......)

by the way, you have a pm.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
the problem is that dexter still has no xt720- he did a lot for the milestone, which he owns, so he is quite experienced with that anyway- but so he just will do his best- as far as I undertstood him- maybe just ask him yourself?

jr33 has an xt720 but seems to have doubts in that korean update- he is still considering...

I just can repeat it- you are free to ask them what you want yourself!! ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] joe206hdi:
hey there

i´m still in with the 20 $ may be more if we don´t find enouth guys to donate.

i prefer dexter he will get a phone from us and we will se what he can do - when it´s fine maybe we/he can open a box to donate for a longer support.

joe
[Milestone XT720 General] joe206hdi:
still in with the 20 $ maybe more if there are not enouth donators
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
Hi guys, I am still in, but II'm reducing my donation to 25 $ until I have FroYo on my phone, after that I can see myself donating more to workout minor bugs. I realise that this is a binding promise.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
that sounds fair.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I'm still in. I feel comfortable giving $25 for the effort with an additional $25 for the completed project.
[Milestone XT720 General] en0203:
I am still in.

Just a suggestion, we can probably get the dev a used XT720 for the work. i know we can get used xt720 for under SGD$300 (~USD$133, with some scratches maybe, and excluding courier fee) here in Singapore, anything lower are welcome.

Will copy this to ronnbon's pm in case he missed my post.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
I really thing thats a good Idea- I thought about this myself- the only two problems for me are: for this we really must be sure to give the dev a 100% functional phone- thats always a little tricky with used eletronic gadgets- someone would have to check it first and send it along to the dev.

second: if it would be Dexter- he is danish- so it makes no sense to buy a phone outside europe because of the really high custom dutys! :(
[Milestone XT720 General] en0203:
I think the chance of getting a mulfunctioned XT720 is quite low as handphones are really very reliable nowadays. However, I am not sure how to get a used XT720 in europe as i am not familiar with the market there.

Anyone from denmark can help?

Worse come to worst we'll just get him a new one I think we have enough donation for that just that the profit for the dev will then be lower.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
I talked to Dexter- the xt720 is not available in denmark- he would buy it via internet..
[Milestone XT720 General] crozilla:
I'll paypal $25 for Froyo on my XT750.

I'll paypal $25 for Froyo on my XT750.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
Still a long way to the goal- I guess we will need at least $400 to buy the phone- at the moment we have $275....:(
[Milestone XT720 General] d23wilson:
I am still in for 50
[Milestone XT720 General] :
since this is a new binding promise I'm upping it from my original 20$ to 30$ ... :) Its a small price to pay for froyo on my XT720 and potentially with these hacks even gingerbread later on...
[Milestone XT720 General] Riley600:
I'll put in $10CAD (~$10USD) now and another $10 if there's a successful version of Froyo done for the phone.

Give me some info as to where I should Paypal the money to and I'll send it off, ASAP.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
Great- now we have reached the $400 limit- so we will do this beyond question!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] kousik:
I'll pay INR 1000 (~ USD $22) for this effort.

Not only because I want froyo in my XT720, but also this should teach Motorola a lesson.

@ronnbonn kindly DM me the payment method once everything else is settled.
