Thanks, that is a hope, and I wish I can help.

I know the rule and I can test for XT701.

So please tell me if the work is done.

I believe that's a big chance to make it work.

Thanks for all.
[Milestone XT720 General] gommers1978:
The XT720 was not officially released in The Netherlands..... Mine is for example "French" Version wich allso got the update to 720MHz but i am running russian ROM because that was the newest ROM at the time.

@Dexter you allready looked at this:

http://developer.motorola.com/products/compare/?items=17526,17518,17534,17484

Thx that you are willing to start a project for us!
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
actually not, so thanks.. at least it helps, hopefully valid data :-)
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
Not that i think many tries it,

but,

my milestone images of MotoFrenzy,MotoBlur,MotoFroyoSense are NOT compatible with XT720 as is, so its probaably not worth trying it out.. (i already got that question a few times now)
[Milestone XT720 General] :
It is officially released. I got the Dutch version with the Dutch language bought here in the store and it's not grey import. It really is the full Dutch version and you can buy it in various stores here in The Netherlands. ROM is also the official Dutch version from Motorola according to the system information, so what you say is not true.
[Milestone XT720 General] alexxdzn:
Just donated 40€
[Milestone XT720 General] JerseySeven:
Hi guys.. I would also like to chip in and give my support as I own the XT720 in singapore too.. But I'm 16 and I don't have any spare cash/credit card to donate. Can you guys help me???
[Milestone XT720 General] gommers1978:
@dexter check this site, i think most of us can not read it ;-) but he allso makes customized roms trough openrecovery for the Korean Froyo. Maybe he allso speaks english and you can contact him how he does it or need ideas if you get stuck. His developer site is:

http://code.google.com/p/xt720/

I have tried his ROM's without success, maybe it only works on the Korean XT720 it allso stays at the motorola sign and does not boot.

Maybe he can be useful for you, just a suggestion.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
a small update.. package visible on dhl :-) its on its way!!
[Milestone XT720 General] reaperzero:
im soo happy im about to cream myself
[Milestone XT720 General] newbkilla:
I think I might love you.. no homo, i promise. This is great news, cannot wait till it's completed.
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
I've got a question for us who donated to this project, some may get offended by it, probably those who didn't contributed with money

:when and if Dexter succeed with porting FroYo, are we just going to realese the build free to all, donators or not?

I'm willing to share, but I think we who donated should get a VIP-prerealese, maybe two weeks before it becomes available to the public. Opinions?
[Milestone XT720 General] earthsword:
Donated EUR 15! Tt's slightly more then the 20 USD that i promised! Good luck!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] ltp3000:
hey come on, this is not how a nice android community should act.

i am sure there where other projects with money and hard work from other people involved, which is beneficial to you in some way.

we do this for the sake of the community. there's no need for selfish behavior at all. this is my opinion on this.
[Milestone XT720 General] Niephasus:
Donated 10 Euro, will donate more at a later time.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
For what signification? :(

The most think I really appreciate at the free OS-Android is the resulting android-community with this new sense of sharing everything and working together.

I have never experienced that before in such dimensions.. people work hard on android stuff and give it away for free... Not everbody and not everytime-but the most time- this is really unique!

What right would we have to sell this froyo?

Yes- we donated our money to make it possible at all and a lot people did not want to donate money but will probably use it afterwards too- but keep in mind- we started this! If their will be no other release of a froyo before ours or we will not get our froyo- than we can say "we"/ Dexter- helped to give froyo to the android- xt720-community!! And thats a lot- don't you think? :rolleyes:

I will be very proud of it when we will succeed with our project! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
my comment on this;

it needs to be looked at in 2 ways.

- People encouraged one to do this, by offering upfront and to give it an extra effort to hopefully get something good out of it.. although not all believe in this way part of the justification is in the fact i do have the phone soon. so thanks to all donated, and it is close to becoming a reality.

- Those that didnt is just as much worth thinking of, and i personally do not feel it should be delivered to a closed group.. i will share whatever findings and work in progress with all, donated or not.. (compare this to Motola sharing a 2.2 release only with Koreans? i would not share it only with a certain group)

Donations for me, has helped me to get more knowledge on other android platforms, support and make something. I have helped other sections here, without having much personal interest in the specific model. but as a favour and to get more knowledge on the differences..

That's my 2cents on it and how i will help and do what is possible..
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
+1, I agree with ronnbon

:edit: and Dexter :/edit:
[Milestone XT720 General] Richie909:
Hi all,

I wasn't in this forum for about 2 weeks. But back in a time - I pleased to put me in a list of people who can donate for dev, and at that time I wrote cause I'm going to donate 100 $ if Froyo will be finally available for our xt720's (all versions - I mean not only for Koreans - in fact they already got Froyo). In fact - I wasn't here for some time and came back here today and see cause some people already donated. As I said - I wasn't here for some time an didn't saw cause some people already donated and that's why I didn't donated yet too. I feel sorry about that.

I wasnt here for about 2 weeks, and I see loads of pages in this forum now, I'm not going check all this pages in this forum at this time cause is no time now, but I need to know - how I can donate (please after my post any people say me paypal adress to which I should send money or any other ways how to pay - probably best for me to pay via paypal), so yeah, I need to know how to pay, but I get that info if I going to read all pages in this forum, and it takes too long time for me now (in fact have no time at the moment and spend no too much time near computer, cause working). So finally best for me will be if somebody send me private message how to pay (if it's via paypal, than tell me address). And as soon as I can pay - I will do it (can't do it today, cause yesterday I spent all my moneys for buying another drum machine for my bedroom music studio. Damn, it cost near 600 Euros for me. LOL). So, yeah send me private message somebody or answer after my post how to pay, and as soon as I can do it - I will do it (probably in next 2 weeks).

P.S.: Sorry for long message, just trying explain why I can't read all posts at the time (working now, and have no too much time for things like computer). Text me all details how to pay and I will do it. Finally - I KEEP MY PROMISES. Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
There is a link (for PayPal) donation & instructions in the first post of this thread
[Milestone XT720 General] d23wilson:
I am loving the thought that Motorola are feeling the pressure (all this bootloader talk of late) and am hoping dearly that this/our project is made aware internally there...and those managers who treated their products community like crap I want to be sweating bullets to justify their decisions...hehe.
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
I understand and appreciate your input on my inappropriate question, and I lay myself flat and beg of forgiveness. I guess I haven't been a part of this community long enough to fully know the conduct code here.

Please don't misunderstand me, I was not saying that we should charge people for this, I have no desire to not share this with the entire XT720 community, they (we) already have endured enough BS from Motorola to deserve that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Riley600:
I don't agree with this. Yes, some of us did donate and we'll see the benefits - but that doesn't mean everyone else should be punished because they didn't chip in. As Dexter said, we're just as bad as Motorola if we start holding stuff out on people.

Besides, I'm sure I've benefited from a lot of projects like this where I came in late and didn't donate up front.

Anyhow, I think everyone should have access the same time we do.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I donated solely to help get this phone in the hands of someone that has significantly more technical skill and experience. Dexter may succeed or he may not, but it is clear he is leaps ahead of me and even his failures are likely to help us. There are no guarantees, but our chances are better with him on our team.

[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
thats okay- you were probably not the only one who thought about that and I was expecting that discussion at some point of our project. So you started it and now we can check this point of. :rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 General] vesko321:
Completely agree with you - we are not going to sell anything. I think, giving something for free is good - for the one that gives and for the people who will benefit from that! Just donated €15.00 which is just over $20.
[Milestone XT720 General] vesko321:
Fully agreed

Yeah, we all know that open source is better. I personally do not use Windows (thanks God), my home desktop OS is FreeBSD and at work is Ubuntu (Linux), even that they have paid for Windows licenses at work. I like this project the most because of its free spirit - everyone is giving as much as he wants or, is taking the result for free. I think, if you have money - you have to give to others in one or another way - same is for the knowledge
[Milestone XT720 General] saren:
Please make the rom of XT701, thank you...

My donation are only giving support and to thank you...sorry for that:(

You are my Lady Gaga:D
[Milestone XT720 General] :
I'm thinking they will release an XT702 2.2 froyo update...would it be easier to port then one over then using the motoroi XT720?

https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades

as specified in the above link?
[Milestone XT720 General] secret_tidus:
of cuz.. i think motorola is going to release froyo to chinese phone soon..
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
@hixtachi

If you have a look at the Chinese Motorola website, you'll see that the XT702 is nothing like the XT720. It's more similar to the Milestone/Droid, with a hardware keyboard and 5 mpx camera. So, no, that will not be easier to use.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
@mikekop

I think hixtachi was responding to saren's request to port the XT720 Motoroi 2.2 ROM to the XT701. I think hixtachi's suggestion was that it might be easier to port the XT702 2.2 ROM to the XT701 than the XT720's.

Edit: Compare them here http://developer.motorola.com/products/compare/?items=17534,17484,17518,17526
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
who is your Lady Gaga? Dexter?... :rolleyes: :D
[Milestone XT720 General] ivan_helsin:
just donatet €15. Agree with vesko321
[Milestone XT720 General] d23wilson:
howdy jerseyseven...if you really want too, i think you can get a visadebit card and make internet payments that way...possibly even link that card number to a paypal account.

But my advice is take it easy...enjoy the goodwill of the whole xt720 community...there are plenty of years to come where i am sure you will contribute in some and/or anyway.
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
Dito!
[Milestone XT720 General] robane:
hi for how much are you going to buy the phone in your place? i can buy buy the phone here at roughly 350 us dollars only.. sim free european.. i bought mine last month.. and it sucks to know that motorola is already abandoning the phone of support.. im really looking forward to the results of this project..
[Milestone XT720 General] :
He already bought the phone and it's being shipped to his now.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
it might arrive tomorrow, but im unable to pick it up tomorrow, if so. but wednesday is good, at least then i can see what the fuzz is all about :-)

but probably not mo news before the weekend where i got time to get into the phone and close my doors..
[Milestone XT720 General] :
Yeah :) Weekend is fine Dexter, I can wait ;) Just take your time :)
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
@all which are new here and did not read the whole thread:

This is not a wish list for Dexter: This is just about porting the korean froyo update to the xt720. The bootloader is still locked so this is not about unlocking it- of course this would be great-but thats not Dexters function!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
updated first topic, to include the donation link

merged both threads
[Milestone XT720 General] grahf23:
Totally agree. The wishlists are getting out of hand:(
[Milestone XT720 General] :
"wat nid to imporved in xt720 froyo is:

- camera software (increase img quality)

Dunno what you been doing wrong, but the image quality is perfect here :)

- custom kernel (enable swap space, prepare for future games)

Not possible with a locked bootloader, unless kexec becomes in a working state.

- greater space for cache (enable installation of battle bears -1.apk)

-Same thing.

- stock oc to 1.1ghz (battery life can extended by setcpu)

Everything above 1 GHz is NOT stable on the XT720. So I'd rather set stock at 800 MHz and then Milestone Overclock installed by default to increase it to 1 GHz.

- DEfy's stock music player"

Now this could be a good idea.

- xda xt720 special bootscreen (required a talented graphic designer)

I actually like the Motorola-logo, but that is just a personal opinion. If good made, XT720-screen could be nice too :)
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
My biggest concern about the Korean ROM is the ability to connect to US 3G bands, AWS or whatever you want to call it (1700,2100). Without that ability, the Korean ROM is useless to everyone in the US.

I personally would think that this point would be A-1 priority. Just my opinion.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
that is usually controlled by the RADIO driver

we should be able to replace the RADIO with the AWS radio in case the driver file is different for the Korean radio bands

as far as i know only Japan uses weird radio frequencies, Korea is pretty much normal with the rest of the world
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
if you want to change you can do the change boot logo :)

it is just bmp image

i alrealy changed it for mine
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I believe that the 2100 download band is not available in Korea, but they do use 1700 for their upload. If the radio can be replaces that easily by changing out a driver file, that is a huge win for us.
[Milestone XT720 General] cdstewart:
Also havent been around for a couple weeks, will donate later this week when credit card arrives!

Man of my word.
[Milestone XT720 General] usmanhafeez2000:
I hope soon we will have success on this project. As soon as there is some good news, please post it here on this link as everyone is only following this link now for the good news.
[Milestone XT720 General] secret_tidus:
tis just my wishlist hv on xt... tis not a things tat wan dexter do afterall.. having froyo is good enuf... higher internal storage.. ^^
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
It has arrived, not opened, but package is in my hands.. but

its here!!!
[Milestone XT720 General] saren:
Please may you to port your rom to XT701?

Thank you. We need it.

btw nice~
[Milestone XT720 General] gommers1978:
This is about the XT720 as you may know. So i think the first priority is the XT720 not XT701.

I allso think hardware is different for XT701 and it does not have a allready build Froyo kernel like the XT720 has from the Korean Motoroi XT720.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Isn't the Korean 2.2 ROM running 2.6.29-omap1 (the same kernel found in 2.1-update1)? Was there a new Korean ROM released?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
the one i got is still 2.6.29 based. but all contents refer to 2.2 files, and as i did a similar setup on milestone, it is possible but lack enhanced battery saving and cpu features, but if they included camera driver correctly, it should work fine.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i think i can live with that, spares battery for the XT720 is ridiculously inexpensive :p free shipping to boot! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] khalpowers:
i hope gps signal can work perfect as 2.1update 1...with korean froyo on my xt the gps signal is damn bad...:(
[Milestone XT720 General] :
Hey dexter would it be possible to include this sd card reading speed increase fix?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921530
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
A reminder!!!

This is not a wish list of things to add into the ROM

stop asking to have things added in

lets get the Korean XT720 2.2 froyo ported over first

and make sure it works for every body before moving on to another project

for all those Wishing to add stuff to a Hypothetical future ROM for the XT720

please create a new topic call it wish list or something, and pour your ideas into it.

thank you
[Milestone XT720 General] TG2008:
Not trying to be a ****, but did you actually check it before posting?

It's already set to 128.

Anyway, I just tested my speeds (No mods/No tweaks) and I got:

Read 12 MB/s

Write 4 MB/s

Anyway... Fingers crossed for a successful port of the Korean Froyo firmware.
[Milestone XT720 General] Gureiryu:
Wait.. so Dex has a Motoroi? :p
[Milestone XT720 General] secret_tidus:
i just knew tat the stock korean rom with the kernel we hv now...
[Milestone XT720 General] usmanhafeez2000:
It means Dexter got a Motoroi???
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
He has a xt720 now- not a motoroi. Why did you ask?
[Milestone XT720 General] saren:
I think korean xt720 is more similar to xt701, it's uses TI OMAP 3430 as cpu.

it's also xt701's cpu.

source:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2188&view=1&c=motorola_motoroi
[Milestone XT720 General] saren:
I have already knew that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
i personally don't think its always important....

example:

I ported HTC DesireHD/ACE and Vision to milestone, try and compare the hardware of those two, which is totally different..

and yes it lacked bluetooth, but otherwise quite fine release...

I will write if there is driver issues, but we are on a similar platform, so ill hopefully figure something out..
[Milestone XT720 General] saren:
Thank you!!! We love you!!!

We will keep supporting you:D
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think the only difference between 3430 and 3440 are the rated clock speeds--which may or may not be an actual difference. At most there is a chance that 3440 is stable at higher clock rates than 3430, but otherwise I would be surprised if there were any differences that matter. Often the first chip using a particular die is released at a lower clock rating and a faster chip comes later after yields have improved. In fact, TI doesn't seem to advertise any functional improvement of the 3440 over the 3430 and I can't really see any difference in their product pages except some cosmetic changes to the block diagrams (that seem inconsequential) and some rephrasing. (Disclaimer: I'm not an EE).
[Milestone XT720 General] pajo985:
I think that only difference is in higher clock speed, and ability to record movies in HD (and I think that 3440 got support for 12 Mpx cameras...), everything else is the same (the whole SOC, not only CPU)
[Milestone XT720 General] Gureiryu:
I suppose I got confused, I thought he had a motoroi from what I read, I apologize.
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
I may see why you thought that. But what he was saying was that he has the Motoroi FroYo ROM, downloaded as a file.
[Milestone XT720 General] mikekop:
So, Dexter, have you picked up your XT720? Had any chance to fiddle with it? Just curious about your thoughts about it...
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
They're both marked with the same multimedia support. Both are described by TI as:

"IVA 2+ (Image Video Audio) accelerator enables multi-standard (MPEG4, WMV9, RealVideo, H263, H264) encode/decode at D1 (720x480 pixels) 30 fps, and up to 720p resolutions"

I didn't notice anything specific about camera support, though. Anyway, I agree that there doesn't seem to be much difference here except clock speed.

OMAP 3440

OMAP 3430
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
The XT720 from WIND I thought looked cool with nice specs and I was interested in getting it, but I wasn't interested in being stuck with 2.1 forever. If this update actually happens I may get one.

Whatever, the case it's nice to see so many people supporting something together. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
well, personally i hope to get at least something good ported.. and we're not talking a different model like htc here, so taking a milestone port, should hopefully work out quite fine..

but right now , i got some illness in family and not home tonight, so ill not be working on it this evening.. I hope im back tomorrow to start some real modding/hacking..

i had the opportunity to look on a defy as well, and got some ways i think to add clockwork mod on top so we can more easily make backups.

but that will be part of my initial setup, so i got some code in place now for xt720, so i know a little about the changes from milestone to the baseband and blur mod changes..

ill report back tomorrow during daytime, and how it looks.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
take your time, there is no need to rush

family is more important

but, if you have some spare time, read this up

androidiani recovery

http://www.appbrain.com/app/multi-mount-sd-card-free/com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget.free

seems like something we could use, quite interesting

of course if CW recovery works, then that is even better :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
well, i find the multi sdcard mounter interesting, but did you mean 2 links here?

one link for androidiani recovery (OpenRecovery from Milestone?)

and multisdcard mounter? (xt720 dont have multiple slots like a tablet?)
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
oops! copy pasted the wrong link

LOL :p

yeah i was referring only to the Open Recovery hacks
