Had the same problem.

I runned

/system/xbin/busybox mount -oremount,rw rootfs /
/system/xbin/busybox mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system
rmdir /sdcard
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/ /sdcard

As someone wrote in this thread, then I just started openrecovery again, runned install and then recovery boot. Worked!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Yes! That worked! Thanks a lot :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
can someone gift information about themes which can be installed on froyo dexter?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
I dont geht running App2sd on 1.1a! On 1.1 i get it! How can i fix it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
my only problems still are:

1. some apps cannot install because of problem with sdcard- for example metamorph (which is really important for me..)

2. cannot see installed widgets at homescreen widget list

3. cannot really overclock- phone reboots at once with more than 800mhz

4. after reboot some widgets I set before are not loaded again...

5. cannot backup launcher pro settings- also problem with sdcard?

but otherwise I am very happy with this now- thank you again...

(but I need metamorph to get rid of this white notification bar... :D)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i think those mentioned in the other thread l link is just using update.zip files, which goes into the sdcard in /openrecovery/updates folder.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
move2sd /Market app

This app is NOT compatible, it messes with root filesystem, and since both OpenRecovery and my hijack is running this one makes your system unstable and results in apps not loading from sdcard, and lastly sdcard totally gone at some point..

why is the question but messing with root filesystems is not nice, so root apps are a no go, if they use hijacking to make your life easier..

this rom is already hijacked and customized to run with 2 hijacks in place, and since apps are generic and what they do is unknown, i cannot rely on info coming back that rom is unstable and so on, if apps like this using root access is messing with the system.

i just tested with 1Ghz/74vsel and it works fine.. i think its common that some users need custom vsel setting on their hardware, so you just need to configure a script and put this into /etc/init.d and run at startup with your custom settings.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
Does ist mean, that no chance to geht Apps2sd working?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
again testing is the solution, i just tested the move2sd app, and i lost functionality and after 1 day suddenly sdcard did not work at all , that was after playing this morning with moving widget apps from/to sdcard although not supposed i guess..

and i did no software change.. only move2sd app was used.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
hmm okay... I get back to 1.1 now. Thers apps2sd work fine!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i am not sure about those using a ext2 partition. the move2sd is one that does not use that option, but should have been froyo compatible.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
i get apps2sd working on 1.1a with the same scipt for 2.1 via adb

waiting for 1.2 from dex...hehehe...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Hey dext...great work...not only on the development but on being able t answer so many questions too!!

I just wanted to confirm I been running v1.1a for a day now...BTW kudos on the ease of installation for that release too... and v1.1a has been great for me.

The sdcard issue is resolved so all previous apps I was using are working fine..all sensors seem to be fine.

The storage is back up to 80mb free...nice compared to 2.1 when I had less than half that with all my apps installed.

I have something like 15 Apps/services running in the background and only 20mb free and can get linpack scores up to 1200 which is awesome.

This release is all round a great functional result for me.

I have 2 queries...

The video files don't play from my preferred media gallery can I apply a fix to that somehow? They play from the other pre installed gallery...so its not a big issue.

And the other query is just out of interest...in the link u posted about the latest Motorola 2.2.1 release..I saw another link that said linpack is a piece of crap in determining your speeds (cos it tests can be affected by settings...rather than testing true capability)..if u set the 4 media.stagefright settings to true u will get 1500+ linpacks..I was wondering because I see you have done that in our release..would I not be getting mear that because of the status of my system? I.e so many background apps?

I am running 970mhz and 58vsel and it runs sweet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alijavaid:

running like a creamee;):D pie..:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
that works for me too... but not with less vsel.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
at 1000mhz ist runs with 58 vsel stabl!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
I run at 1000MHz at 56 Vsel allso very stable.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
seem like vsel is device dependent. mine is working at 62 vsel for 1000mhz.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
guys, have u met with this thing??? it's weird ... but not a bug.

my phone free ram is too low. only 20~30 Mb free. whenever I open ATK, i saw a lot of apps are running. all random. i kill unwanted apps and then after a few seconds and i check again, there're some more apps running again.

those apps are up in random. so i can't decide which app to kill.

that's really bugging me at this moment.

dex, what's your advise? i'm running 1.1
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jdx1:
benchmark.

what this app called
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've run at 1GHz (ondemand 250MHz) at 56 vsel with no problems. I've been running 1.1a for a day.

The only problem I've had so far is most likely unrelated to the ROM--for some reason the stock music player only sees the first four (alphabetically) albums and I haven't figured out how to get it to rescan the whole /mnt/sdcard/Music folder yet. I tried a few apps in the market that are supposed to cause rescans but no luck.

The proximity sensors do work for me during a call (1.1a).

Overall I'm extremely happy with 1.1a so far.

Apps moved to SD are a little laggy (mostly on startup) using the native App 2 SD, but I think that's architectural to Froyo. I'll probably move my root/widget apps to /system/app

It does seem to eat more RAM than my optimized 2.1 did (hovering in the low-to-mid 30's compared to low-to-mid 40's in my old 2.1), but I haven't tweaked autokiller yet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
i have se that too. On 2.1 it was 40-50 mb

when i use ATK i have 49 mb free...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
another thing is LauncherPro seems not able to get along with 2.2 it lags and hangs a lot. freeze alot, and something is kicking LP out of RAM always. everytime i go back to home screen, I gotta wait LP to finish loading. Go Launcher and ADW is working smoothly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
From what I've read, Android/Froyo has very good native memory management. Have you tried using AutoKiller Memory Optimizer? Autokiller tweaks Android's builtin memory management parameters and lets the OS take care of things. Supposedly, this is more nuanced than what Advanced Task Killer does.

I just changed my settings from system default to the 40,50,60 profile that I used in 2.1 and my free memory has gone up from low 30's to high 30's-low 40's already. Based on my experience in 2.1 it can take a while to find the right values.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
quadrant and shootme for the xshots
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
I'll try AutoKiller. now flashing my phone again with UK 2.1 to install 1.1a :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I use music player pro- it sees more than four albums and found the right folder right from the start- but- it does not refresh the music library. I deleted a folder an replaced it to see what happen and it still shows the deleted one and not the new. Despite a rescan of the music library- nothing changed. If I click the deleted folder I get a FC of the player.

I just checked the stock player- the same- it shows more than four albums but still the deleted one and not the new one.

And I still have the problem with the disappearing widgets and disappearing apps at the appdrawer after conneting to the computer. I use the app media rescan to solve it for the moment- but this seems to be a major problem.

By the way- I am running 1.1a.

Edit: 1GHz and 68vsel works too.:)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I just loaded this galaxyfroyo. It kicks ass! I think I may hang on to this one for a while.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Can play modern combat full screen on my hd with real hdmi app..awesome! !..:D:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
First: Nice work, dex!:cool:

My problems:

1. if i enable auto-proximity sensor, and turn my phone 90° right side (so to east), the screen turns also 90°. so far, so good. but it stays like this the whole time, even if I turn my phone back 90° or 180° or so. sometimes it works normally, but not always does the screen follow the turns.

2. Languages are for example in the camera & task manager in English. But we already know that.

3. Games that are used with apps2sd are often laggy.

4. The button next to camera button does not work, for example when I open the camera and push that button next to camera button, the camera should change to gallery or to camcorder. But it doesn't.

5. For example playing games and I want to change the volume and press "up" at the volume button, the sound gets less loud and if I press "down" at volume button", the sound gets louder.

6. Using the web browser, the pages do not adapt to the screen like in 2.1.

Some questions, too:

1. In 2.1, at the bottom of the homescreen, there were the symbols for "call" and "sms". Is it possible to have them again next to the grey symbol for opening the menu?

2. If I use my phone with 1000 MHz, it is faster. But is it also stable? And is it normal that the battery is getting so hot?

3. Can we use now every Froyo on the XT720? For example is it possible to use Samsung Galaxy S Froyo ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
LauncherPRO is an excellent alternative , stock launcher is limited in functionality.

it differs alot and depends on cpu settings, i think there is an addon to the existing milestone overclock which lets you control vsel and test it more easily, but never picked up the name of it.

not really, framework needs to be close to the milestone, which Nexus/Google was/is. as Google used Droid as standard for some releases.

Galaxy framework is customized, but part of it might be working, but requires experience with porting to get it running.

i ported N1 frameworks easily, but users on milestone lost led notifications and light in keyboard etc, as N1 did not have it. but it was compatible.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Okey.

Is it still necessary Motorola to unlock the bootloader or is it not necessary anymore now ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] bjkreyke:
Predictive/Suggestive words gone?

I upgraded yesterday to 2.21 and I firstly want to say thank you! It worked G.R.E.A.T!

One thing that isn't working (or is working by design?) is the predictive/suggestive words when creating an email, text, or what-have-you.

The only thing that it draws from is my contact list and any custom words I enter in the dictionary.

How do I get back the full dictionary? Or is it supposed to work this way?

Thanks for everyone!

I edited my post with new problems.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
so no one is having issues with the facebook contacts sync in the phone menu?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
I can't install angry birds either ahhhh. :( any one else having these problems. Unknown error 18.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
18 is normally download failure.. reboot and temp files gets removed.

i installed angry birds for testing 3d, it works fine.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Confirmed, working here.... anybody try facebook yet?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i tested it now, and correct, facebook does not show up..

ill look into this..

A new verson with all sensors working is on its way...25mins of upload and its ready...

Ill then see if i can adapt korean rom, with sensors running. but it lacks languages :-( and baseband might be a problem, needs some fixing to get all of it running normally (with sms etc..)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Thank you so much, i was going crazy thinking i did something wrong....

Please take your time your obviously on the right track :)

I might have a little present for you a way better version of Openrecovery, has more options like Kernel optimization and Jitv9 install that i have tested and dramatically increases responsiveness. ;) let me know if you are interested i wil upload to email or other :)

Thank you again!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
jit will probably not help on 2.2 as its natively enabled, but kernel functions always help.. send me a pm with a upload link to somewhere like multiupload / rapidshare as example..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:

no motoroi model,just Milestone XT720 from starhub singapore

update : i found bug that after charging, in lockscreen it say still charged,although the charger already release
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
for this purpose, its just a matter of using MoreLocale2 from Market, and all apps that has native language support for your country will switch to that language..

thank you so much dexter

update : its works!!,added locale language manually :)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
your doing it wrong erase and then recopy the nandroid folder to root of sdcard not in a root folder
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Done from fresh flash.... Stuck on M :( im going to try my other version of Openrec

No errors in nandroid restore this time :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
same here,stuck on M
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Did you reboot after Oprc.apk install or go straight to app?:confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
of course i reboot after install openrecovery.apk

using reboot openrecovery from adb and restore backup it work but now stuck on M although i do wipe data/factory reset still stuck

dexter,it final stock edition,u mean u will release other edition like motofroyosense or other maybe?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
At this point it remains necessary for Motorola to unlock the bootloader if we need to make certain modifications to the linux kernel. Those types of modifications don't appear to be necessary to run Froyo. It appears to be sufficient to just use the existing motorola-signed linux kernels.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
The GalaxyFroyo is allso another amazing cool release great work Khal for creating this one and thx again to Dexter for opening this great new world for my XT720! Can switch between version of different Froyo releases with nandroid. Have the feeling i have a brand new phone ;-) my second donation is comint 2 you soon bro!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] R-D:
Ah I can post in this thread finally ... :)

One other thing I noticed in addition to my comments in the other thread -- memory free was about 25mb until I killed (with ATK) background item:

com.motorola.worldclock

Now back up to around 50MB free, same as on 2.1

edit: Also does anyone know what this is for, it was not running on stock 2.1 but is now: com.motorola.android.extdispservice
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Yeah i always delete that apk, it;s useless
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
extdisp is not use, if that is what prev. post means, for those using HDMI, this service handles HDMI.. but so you know.. its not always nice to delete everything.

but worldclock must be something else, i did not look for yet :-)

i think i might have found a solution to the proximity sensor, and probably fixes compass, because it might be it works fine for me, but im using a different sensor driver now , with different range parameters (z-devicetester is really a good app)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
Can some one post a mirror to khalpowers theme. The link has had to much traffic And shut down. :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
I always delete some system apps I know I don't need after a reflash.

Of course you cannot delete every app randomly, but there are quite a lot which are not necessary when you just don't need them or you replace them with an additional app anyway. Like the stock email client for example when you use k-9...

That gives quite a lot of additional space. :)

The following list is for the motorola milestone so the xt720 has some different apks at the system app folder, but for orientation it worked for me ;)

of course you do this of your own risk!

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I think he was just pointing out apps you COULD remove without breaking anything else.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
dude, I like the theme a lot. but you make it too slim-down. you removed a lot of apps that i really need. for example -

Dock.apk (don't be jealous but i've got a dock from Starhub as a promotion package)

Email.apk - i need it for opening exchange email

corporatedirectory.apk - same thing, exchange contacts

corporatecalender.apk - exchange calender

QuickOffice.apk - still, i need to open office files.
