I installed it having Android 2.1 and worked...

it works really good. Thank you dexter!! I'm so happy that I can even suck your **** :P :P
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I've been playing around with new build and have noticed a few things:

I am also struggling to get Accounts & Sync to allow me to add Facebook account. I press it and nothing happens.

I couldn't get camera to work until I rebooted 3 times. Not sure what that is all about.

It has the old market.

I'm testing the heck out of this and will report back any other items of note.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I'm happy... but not quite THAT happy! :eek::D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
What build.SBF did you both have when applying?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Dexter, What build.sbf did you dev this on? please :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
I'm just a little unclear as to what version we have to start from to do this. Korean 2.2 or UK 2.1?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Worked with UK2.1.1
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
im testing right now with 2.1 after numerous failed attempts with 2.2 so ill let u guys know.

Confirmed worked with UK 2.1

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I had stock 2.1 us Cincinnati Bell version. All I had done up to this point was that I added jit about 3 months ago. I downloaded the file, upzipped it to my sd card. I already had superuser installed. I installed open recovery, rebooted, and then ran the system recovery app. That rebooted the device into system recovery. I clicked the top item first, which was isntall recovery, then I clicked boot recovery. This reset the phone and it took me to the recovery startup thing menu. I chose to do a nandroid restore, selected the stock22, and said to restore all. After that was done, I navigated my way back to the main menu and did a wipe/factory reset. after that, I chose reboot and it rebooted.

From that point, it just worked. I never installed a different sbf file, and only connected to my pc once to dump the files to my sd card.

i did take a few minutes to reboot after I wiped it. I got a new funky glowing "T" icon after the M logo went away. pretty neat actually.

I hope this helps. Now for another beer.

Oh, and I installled root explorer and removed the facebook apk file and redownloaded it from the market and I still can't add it to accounts & sync.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
I have the same problem, is there a way to set the browser priority higher so that it is not killed when the memory gets low?

Also, my battery life has taken a turn for the worse. I used to barely get a whole days use (14hrs) but now I am lucky to get 8hrs; anyone else experiencing this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] grigorbg:
Last few days I was only test the rom. Today it will be 1st real life test with sim inside and tonight I will know more.

I`m a battery killer :-)

Before I was @ 10% battery after about 10-12h. ( in working day).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
Hi all,

Is anyone having lag problem with 1.1a and 1.1b? The phone seems to hesitate for a while for any command given, as in all apps will startup about 1 sec after i press the icon on the desktop. It's almost instant on my 2.1 but with 2.2.1 i am getting this lag. Is it only me or everyone is having this issue? I know 0.5 to 1 sec lag is probably not a lot but it really makes it feel laggy compared to my 2.1.

A big thanks to Dexter nevertheless!!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
1 second lag???? I need to wait at least 3~4 seconds to open Facebook. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
Interesting... 1.1b makes my device really fast, but 1.1a was as you guys describe (so painfully slow); I know Hellmonger was having similar issues as me on the same build (1.1 & 1.1a).

However, it's nice and fast again with 1.1b

I wonder if this is the reason why Motorola dropped the XT720 ;)

Hardware differences???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xavwanted:
Thank you Dexter

Very good job !

I have one question why the motorola defy is powerfull as xt720?

Can we have jit from 2.3?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
upload soon...gingerfroyo...based on 1.1b patch dex froyo..this version totally awesome.!!..all works with fine tune...:)..this version using app2ext ....:):)

my screenshot;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] waltson:
1.1b

thx Dexter for your great work!

1.1b now runs like hell, much less lagging, HDMI & TV-Out back, great

Linpack @720 = 10.467 & @1000 =14.033 - wow!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I am really sorry, but I spoke to soon- found some problems still.:(

(I have 1.1b with uk.sfb)

First

: I have really many pictures on my sdcard- mainly wallpapers. But I just can see camera pics and covers from music at both galleries. I tried to move the wallpaper folder to dcm- where I have my music and where the camera folder is- but it doesn't help. Thats really strange!!! :confused:

Second

: what I really don't understand: with 1000Ghz and 64vsel the phone is slow- with stock Cpu its faster- why is that so? Is the overclocking vsel to low?

No- just tried it- just the music that still was at sdcard after flashing is displayed- every change afterwards is not displayed...

Just a observation: when I open the appdrawer and tap an application it always last 3sec. until something happens- is that normal?

And after unlocking the phone needs about 14sec until it all functions are accessible- app drawer works and so- and I already have a class 6 sdcard- is that normal too? Just would like to know if thats normal at the xt720. Never realized that really before...

@Dexter: Thats not your responsibility, I know- just want to ask... I still have the problem with the black backround of the mediagallery- I cannot see my black icons there. And I just can choose them with launcher pro at this Gallery. Is there a simple possibility to change the color of the mediagallery backround?

You can use metamorph for that- I changed my status bar to transparent- but for some reason with launcher pro it just changes to grey- never to fully transparent. But thats a lot better than white... :rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ghostboy:
khalpowers:

It's so great!!!

I am still work in office, hope you can upload soon and I can download when I back to home.

BTW, the previous version 1.1 give me a feeling is quite lag, I hope this version can be more better.

Thanks again for you and Dexter's good job!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
Is khalpowers theming update compatible to every one of dexters froyo versions and the patch?

And: if I try to do a full nandroid backup it fails- to do a selected nandroid backup- which parts are really important/ which one do I have to select?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
Yes, some apps take up to 3 - 4 sec for the phone to response. it just hang for a while before something happens. Is this normal?

now i realise how fast my 2.1 was, if i say 2.2.1 is a car then my 2.1 was a plane.

I am thinking of trying the stock korean 2.2. anyone tried it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smurfb:
Do you have setcpu installed? When I installed that, my phone got very slow aswell.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
The lag..is it for apps that you have moved to sdcard fat 32 system?..ie u using the admin..applications...move to sdcard option?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
no i didn't move anything to SD. everything runs from internal memory.

I started from EU rom by the way, does it matter?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Strange...I loaded European rom..then went to 1.1a then loaded dexters patch...and it running sweet

The reason I ask is cos when I started loading apps onto sd using apps2sd I notice it takes a lot longer than when apps were on sd and I had 2.1 with its root and apps2sd. But the start up don't bother me when its a trade off for internal space.

But seriously its running snappy..and I installed ..as stated above...not sure if u done any different..but should not be like that for internal apps
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ghostboy:
Do you mean if SD Card has ext2/ext3 partition, at the first boot the function of apps2ext will apply automatically? Or still need to install apps such as App2Card to activate the apps2ext function? Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
Do it over... 1.1a, but don't install 1.1a-Update (i.e. 1.1b). Is it still slow?

For me 1.1a was super slow, but 1.1a-Update made it really fast.

Also, 1.0 was very fast for me.

1.1 & 1.1a were very slow.

1.1a-Update is fast again.

:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
so don't you use the patch 1.1b yet?

Because I do have the feeling some things are better with it- for example I can use apps2Card right know- but it is really slow...

(because of apps2Card?)

But, as I wrote before, I already use a class 6 card...:(

How much internal space is really necessary to run the phone smooth?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
The ones you have 2 select are:

Boot

Cache

Cust

Data

System

That works for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
After reboot setcpu puts your cpu on for example 1000MHz max and 250MHz min this can cause a slower system you have to set it manually back to 1000MHz and 1000MHz or make a profile that does that.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
thank you!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
After install 1.1b i found apps installed on sdcard from 2.1, that was installed before first beta =)

@Dexter, if you will use patch for russian language - can you use it without morelocale2, cause it give as some bugs from apps?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
i've applied the patch over v1.1a and it worked just fine! phone is a lot faster and smooth now! but i've discovered a problem which u already wrote about:

music player doesnt scan the mp3s! it plays when i open with root explorer but i cant see the music files on list?!? plus i've tried another music app(winamp) and it didnt scan sd card either...

besides that, everything is just fine, sometimes the lights of buttons work wierd but it aint a problem :)

__________________

and i got some questions for myself..

we can move the apps to sd card if its possible without any other 3rd party app and ext2 partition... so now i wonder is there any difference if i try to move with a seperated partition on sdcard and a different app(like app2sd, app2card etc...)???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
1.0 was the fastest for me so far. 1.1 and 1.1a were slow. 1.1b is slightly faster than 1.1a but not as fast as 1.0.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Have problem with music player, too. It does not scan my mp3s and even if there are shown some .mp3-files, it says when I want to play them: "unknown format".

With PowerAMP, everything works perfectly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ttcool:
hi dex i found the xt720 has about 230mb memory right ? and 70mb out of this 230mb is inactive , why?

could u please try to release this amount of memory ???

i guess it should be too faster .

btw i found the way to keep those program that removes automatically after restart on galaxy froyo (khalpower) like google maps and smart keyboard

those will work fine if you installed them on ur internal memory .

thanks dex and khal u do the amazing job .
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
does nobody of you has the same problem with pictures or wallpapers as me? I don't see them at gallery- I mean my own wallpaper folder...:( I guess it's the same problem like the one with the music.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ttcool:
i had those problems ((mp3 tracks and the pictures )) i hadnt any luck to fix that!

then i installed the galaxy froyo
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
For those of you experiencing the slowness after applying the patch, do any of you have an ext2 or ext3 partition on your microsd card? I've noticed that after applying the patch, apps that I had moved to sd card ext2 partition from a while ago are magically installed again. I know that Dexter added ext2/3 support in the patch. This may also explain why only some of us are experiencing this.

I'm going to try removing my ext2 partition from my own card later and see if that helps with the performance.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
What device is that running on. There is no way that an xt720 has that much memory free running a froyo rom; especially considering it only drops 3MB when moving from 3 apps to 8!!?!?!?!

Whatever magic is happening there I need some of it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you saying the media scan works in the galaxy froyo theme?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Glen L:
got it working. thanks!

btw, what's the default clock of Dexter's Froyo??

Also I cant download milestone overclock keeps saying failed :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I believe thats already included as a system app in Dexters ROMs
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
has anyone had that camera problem too??

when i first turn on device it works perfectly fine as usual but after that when i re-open cam app its just a black screen ?!? the buttons and mode options are there to touch but no view from camera??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ttcool:
for sure all works fine on galaxy froyo theme ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Gimmy Gimmy Gimmy!!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
Does anyone know if move2sd is working on 1.1b I dont dont really wanna switch from galaxy froyo since its working so good for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
A Quick note:

- Yes, i will look at music,mediascanner issue (i think both are related)

- app2sdcard and such no longer needed, if you got all apps on an 2nd partition its automatically mounted at bootup, which is the right way to do it.

So if you had it before its "magically" enabled again now..

no apps needed, but i think OpenRecovery can partition your sdcard, which is needed :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
App2card gives you native move to EXT3 options ;) also the choice of default location

Internal

SD FAT32

EXT3 if available

Setting to a specific location may cause some apps to cause a Market crash, just set back to let system decide and reinstall, unfortunately some apps require to be on Internal.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
I have same probleme with app2sd in 1.1b. The ext2 is mouted and apps are viewed in the drawer but new app will not install on the ext2.

I have no installed galaxyfroyo. Wow theres no lag! I love this!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I discovered that my second partition on my card was an ext3. I removed it, made a ext2, formatted fresh, and reloaded 1.1a, then patched.

Slowness gone. Old "magically" installed apps gone. Browser no longer crashes after 5 seconds. This appears to be the fix to this problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if you got just a little experience with adb, can you try this?

chmod 771 /sd-ext/app

its a first on your info, so whether its unique in your case of all is hit, i dont know, but i can confirm i did not set permissions for now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
thats very good news, then ill just check up on music scanning and movie playback where possible for now.. so ext3 is a no go in its current state, libraries are compiled by dateno1 , and i have not tried to do it, but i could try and see how it works...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eshelly:
ext3 is working fine for me, no slowness. I did not have a 2nd partition already though so the ext3 was fresh. After the first boot with the new ext3 partition my free space went from 52MB to 85MB. So far all installed apps are working just fine and the browser no longer closes with no error after a few secs of use.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
My ext3 is working fine with Apps2sd.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I had an ext2 partition right from the start and also had the media scanner problem.

But with the galaxy froyo update the problem is solved- maybe that helps you?

And- with the galaxy froyo update metamorph stopped working... I mean it works without error reports but nothing changes...:(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
It may not have necessarily had anything to do with whether it was ext2 or ext3, the bigger picture is that I made a new partition. deleted the old and created a new one. Maybe it just needed to be formatted. I don't know.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
Galaxy Froyo works fine. but that has the sd problem (mnt/sdcard/)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I haven't found the source of the milestone framework Dexter's using in 1.1a, but there are 46 different files between dexter's 1.1 system.img and the galaxyfroyo system.img and 152 different files between the 1.1a and galaxyfroyo. So, I'm pretty sure galaxyfroyo is based on 1.1. Maybe the media scan works in Dexter's 1.1, also.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
so do I understand you right- after reformatting the media scan problem is solved for you without doing the froyo galaxy update?

Next point which confuses me: when Dexter wrote apps2card is not needed anymore, does that means that the ext2 partition, if existent is included for storage automatically?

I have to admit that the three storage places- intern- fat32- ext2- are driving me mad. I don't know anymore where the single apps are stored and where to put it when it does not work.

Okay- that widgets need to be at internal storage I already know- but there are others that seems to be not happy where they have their home at the moment...:rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've only got one partition--FAT32--and the card was fresh formatted by 1.1a before the music was copied back on. The scan doesn't work for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
hi dext, iam confused...

i installed move2sd so i can manually move existing apps to SD, and any future apps to install that are unlocked will be moved to SD...both results in Apps going to FAT32 under .android_secure...is that right?

You have installed something in latest release that moves apps to ext2 (2nd partition on sdcard..if you have one)? is that right..that is why when 1.1b came along apps "re-appeared"...then, how does the system know what to choose from ...i.e. does it choose the version i re-downloaded and moved to .android_secure or does it grab from my existing ext2 area?

on another note...i reformatted my ext2 on sdcard...cos i previously had Fat32, ext2, and linux swap...so i merged the ext2 and linux swap and formatted...restarted and noticed all my "re-appeared apps" gone..so downloaded them again and moved them to SDcard using "admin applications...move to SDCARD" ..so now sitting in .android_secure.

How do i successfully migrate all my apps from android_secure to ext2 and take off "move2sd" and ensure that all apps are installed and then running off ext2?

i suppose i am happy with sdcard fat32..but i notice it is ALOT slower than when running off ext2 partition on SD..so just prefer it..nothing to die for...

but i guess understanding on my behalf of what i have done (i.e. installed move2sd which goes to fat), and what you have done in the latest patch, and how i can migrate it all to the better ext2 partition is the part i care more about, as understanding soothes most anxiety :)

like at the moment...i have moved most my large apps to sdcard FAT 32...BUT BUT when i look at ext2 on gparted (after reformatting it)..and having moved my apps to SDcard fat32...i notice that the ext2 partition has 67mb allocated...

SOOOO i am left wondering what is working from the move2sdon fat..what is working from dexters latset patch...and what the ROM thinks its doing when its getting apps from a location...OR, is the 67mb allocated on ext2 some other work area? like is there "swapper" in built in this that uses ext2 on sdcard somehow?

and also...if this is confusing..or sounds contradictory or along the wrong path in anyway..let it be known..i am not a developer in this area AT ALL. so any dumb questions are because i cannot see the forest from the tree bring in front of me :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
maybe its because its been a long day for me and I took some heavy drugs (prescribed), but to be honest- your post was all greek to me... sorry...:rolleyes: :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
i just had another thuoght...

what you did dext on the latest patch, which we all saw increased speeds, was that mostly related to moving apps to ext2?

because..this what i done since first applying 1.1b patch:

i updated 1.1b and noticed very high speeds linpack over 1300

i then formatted the sdcard ext2 partition (silly..now i know)

apps gone..i redownloaded them, moved them to sdcard...see them in android_secure.. (as i using move2sd and then manually move via settings..applications)

Re-run linpack and see scores of 900 to 1000 (far cry from the 1300+)

i re-install 1.1b patch, and re-run linpack...no difference.

i am wondering...should i move all apps back to internal phone..re-run 1.1b patch...the apps will be moved to ext2? and then re-run linpack and see those scores i wonder?

maybe i will do this, and see from there...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Canadaboy:
I have a bug to report:

In the email client, I receive an email with a .wav attachement (voicemail sent to me by email).

In stock 2.1 I could open the .wav in both the default music player, and in a 3rd Party app (RockPlayer Lite)

In the 2.2.1b I get the following:

When attempting to open using default music player:

"Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file."

When attempting to open using 3rd party RockPlayer Lite:

"This file cannot be palyed with the System Player"

Can we look at getting the music player working with .wav files? Getting .wav to play on the phone is a critical requirement for me.

Thank you!

PS with just a small amount of issues (no wav, disappearing browser, 2 song music list, and one application reporting 'no android id' this is awesome).
