Running 1.3, OC@1GHz/56Vsel (on top of all Dexter's previous releases and patchs); Smoother and faster than 1.2b so far :cool:

Not a single FC, gallery, video work, etc.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Version 1.3 seems to be pretty good, no problems so far.:cool:

It's getting better and better, very good dexter!

When taking with opposite light, camera did not flashed though I have always turned on!!!

anybody help me??

sorry, my english is bad
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
remember, the last 2 weeks work on this, should not be credited my effort.. i just put the update together so any new user would not have to go through 100+ posts to find a patch ..

But im very happy to see modding in this section evolved and more persons got involved and many owners got what they wanted in this section :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
I know Dexter, I did not thank you :D ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
What problems are still in version 1.3 ?

Can anyone list them?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] R-D:
Not sure if anyone ever replied to this, I think it's one of the last issues (media key) with 1.3, here is the output you requested:

grep: not found
# busybox grep 112 ./*
busybox grep 112 ./*

#

I notice all of yours say MODE_CHANGE where 2.2.1 has one that says MEDIA_MODE, also yours has a sholestabletp3str-keypad.kl which isn't here, not sure if that even matters.

Edit: I used the Keytest.apk from here: https://github.com/chrisboyle/keytest/downloads

It does detect the Media button being pushed, and it returns this result:

Keycode: 92
KeyEvent: KeyEvent{action=0 code=92 repeat=0 meta=0 scancode=112 mFlags=8}

I don't know what to do with this, but thought I would share the info ... :)

Hello Dexter i post my last rom try it please.

you're the only person who can improve it.

I make it clean for development.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Radio volume.... Media button....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if check it .. maybe a diff would make it easier? i think download a complete rom each time is not always good if its more like 5-10MB files?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
I tryed X's new mod and the quadrant scores are very good, seems he some how fixed that grafic glitch when the planets spin and that pass is at 46 fps with 1000mgz 58 vsel :0
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
You can do that on any ROM that exists. You need to a file in the directory /system/lib/egl/ called egl.cfg. you change the top two 0s to 1s and then you get those results in quadrant. You can modify the file using root explorer. be sure to save and reboot. I have personally tested this in all versions of 1.2 and 1.3 and confirm that it increases quadrant performance.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
? sounds vierd? if you enable the non-3D edition its using software to do 3D, that cannot be faster..

this clearly shows how bad Quadrant is for showing actual facts...

0 0 android
0 1 tegra

changing "0 0 android" to 1 1 enables default high priority for non-3d accelerated cpu's :confused: using standard software acceleration.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I look at this as more of a testament to how poorly the #D acceleration hardware is on our phone. When software rendering is better than hardware, that is just sad.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xavwanted:
My knowledge is limited, unfortunately I am a newbie and I have not learned develloped, that's why I made nandroid.I have not yet learned to make update.I haven't a lot time for the moment but i'll learn that.

My last rom is very clear and a it's good base for your next rom.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Your right... just flys with 1 1 settigs... you sure that means software rendering.... makes no sense....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
That's what I've read elsewhere too (except I've always seen 0 1 -- I don't understand what the first digit does). I didn't save the links but there are a lot of threads on XDA and elsewhere about improving the smoothness of Angry Birds that mention success by doing this. I imagine disabling the hardware renderer and enabling the software renderer is bad. So I'm guessing they work together somehow... but it's a mystery to me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Ithink it slows down the dialer tho.... so slooooooow is that dialer i hate it!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I do not experience a slow down of the dialer with these settings.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] phantnang:
yeah!!!

had out video via 3.5 AV port but audio speak on phone. if you unplug the video port still sound on television.

RTL and hebrew suppot...

Hi,

I've read most of the thread and learned a lot :rolleyes:

thanks :)

I tried to install the 1.3, but when I try to write in Hebrew the lettering reads backwards and is aligned to the left.

in the Israeli Android forum there is a script for fixing that(generates framework.jar and some other stuff on the phone) but it doesn't work.

is there any other way to teach my MS XT720 to write Hebrew???:confused:

p.s.

Gmail and web browsing display Hebrew as it should be. but text messaging,

contact list and writing email in Gmail-App display Hebrew backwards.

of course that if I'll be needed for any help, I'll be happy to ;)

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
You dont see a 2 3 second lag on the dialer? i feel it's worst with those settings...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
Nope. I tested it it as soon as I saw your post and I've done it a few times since then. I cannot reproduce your problem. Does the slow down happen at the time of pressing the buttons, or at the transition to and from? What, specifically, is slow about it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
im going to do a fresh install and get back to you... it's from pressing the dialler to app opening
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
THe only problem that I have experienced with the new build is that for some reason, the SD card occasionally unmounts itself and then remounts right away. I blame that on the sd card though.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reaperzero:
i just had something similar with my 720 just 15 minutes ago. suddenly could not mount the card properly. even the partition on the card went wonky. a fresh flash and its good as new
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Using the Froyo 1.3, after rooting and installing BusyBox, my phone just shows the start screen with the "M". I waited now for around 30 minutes, and rebooted and rebooted, but the start screen is the only I see.

I downloaded MyInternetSecurity Pro from the market, installed then the BusyBox and pushed the "Reboot" Button in MyInternetSecurity Pro. But then nothing works.

Any ideas?

Can anyone give me the developers eMail adress? ( " My Internet Security Pro " in the android market )

because I need to write to the developer and I cannot access to the market so far with my phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
I had the same problem, when install the newest version of busybox with busybox app, device gets stuck at M boot logo. Maybe its because i change the installation path to system/bin(originally its installed to somewhere else in dexter's froyo, and it cant be installed over it).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Many of the boot scripts in 1.3 have /system/xbin/busybox hardcoded. I hadn't used the busybox app until this week and I was surprised that it would move things like this and not at least plug in symbolic links in the other locations. There's also the danger that a busybox gets installed by the app that is missing applets that are needed at boot. Maybe the ROM should take an approach similar to Titanium Backup and keep/use a private, tested busybox that's out of reach? Any objections to that?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I like sariugur's idea about your boot problem. Here's an update to try that will put back /system/xbin/busybox if you're still stuck at the M. You can get to OpenRecovery by holding volume up while powering on.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
So I don't have to flash the original ROM back and then flash again to Dexter's Froyo?

BTW: I cannot even power my XT720 on now, not because of the battery. But nothing happens know. WTF

btw thx I am gonna try that

edit:

Why does the battery drain faster than I can charge it up ?

edit2: when pushing volume up and power on, nothing happens? I can just get into the bootloader by pushing volume up and camera button and power on.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I agree with you that next you should try to reflash a stock sbf from bootloader. I hope that works!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Like this: ??

1. Flash to stock 2.1

2. Then flash to Dexters 2.3

But if I want to use Busybox now, what do I have to do exactly ?

What should I do with your attachment?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
If you can't get into OpenRecovery you can't apply it. You would place it in sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates, boot into OpenRecovery and choose Apply Update.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] scumm_boy:
Thank you so much for this. I repartitioned my SD card like you said, and your patch works right off the bat. No boot loops, no stuck at the M... just sweet working Milestone Overclock!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
I am also still experiencing this problem.

I think it is "either" GPS or Milestone Overclock related.

When I disable both GPS and Stop using Milestone then my device charges normally, but, when GPS & Milestone are enabled my phone drains the battery at lightning speed; the phone is dead in an hour and cannot be charged.

Any ideas guys?

I'll try to determine if it is just GPS that is causing the problem (or Milestone).

I noticed this problem on 1.2a

~Cheers
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Something similar has happened to me a couple of times (but not in the last week and esp. when I was monkeying around trying to fix media scan 1.2a--so by no means am I blaming any ROM--it's always occured when I've been monkeying with something). I'd leave it charging because the battery was dead and then of course it decides to self boot after some minimal amount of battery had been restored, and then of course the booted system would drain itself to death within minutes and... back to square one. To get out of this vicious cycle if you happen to catch the phone when its up power it down and let it continue charging for a while--it doesn't seem to self-boot if you tell it to shutdown. But... that requires that you notice the system has booted which can be easy to miss. What I ended up doing is I found a long twist tie and used it to tie down the volume up key so that when the thing decided to boot itself, it would go into OpenRecovery instead of whatever vampire sucking setup I had managed to assemble. I don't know how to check battery level in OpenRecovery, so I just left over night and reflashed back to a stock ROM and did a factory reset in the morning. I guess a better solution would be to get a battery charger.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] amjad_2020:
The link for v1.3 is not working .......
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I have no real idea about any of this, but I have been studying differences between Dexter's and xavwanted's ROMs and there have been a bunch of differences in files that look like they're related to the keyboard. I haven't tried porting them to Dexter's ROM because I have no idea what they're doing and I also wasn't aware of any keyboard problems. But if they fix hebrew input that would be a valid excuse for porting them, IMHO. So... have you tried xavwanted 1.2?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
i wonder if we can get back the PHONE(blue) and MESSAGE(green) buttons on the right and left sides of MENU button on home secreen??? it was so useful in stock 2.1 of xt720 but unfortunately we lost them :((

by the way, when i installed korean froyo at first, i had almost all memory free, 221MB free on phone storage!! but with ported froyo we can get max. 130MB... is this because only some parts of the system ported from froyo and the rest is still eclair?? if we can find a solution to this, it could be awsome too ;))
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
Quick little update on the FAST DRAIN thing... I can't recreate it; I thought it was related to GPS and maps.

At any rate, the last time it occurred, I was able to stop it by disabling GPS and deleting my OC-Settings file then rebooting (which lead me to believe that was the problem).

It's currently working fine, overclocked and using GPS so I am at a loss.

If it happens again I will try to better troubleshoot the problem.

1.3ROM is awesome otherwise!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ouz:
install ADW launcher , so you can customize your home screen and buttons that you mentioned ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] superweed31:
reception

many thanks for fast reply.......:)

I'll try to install xavwanted ...

for now I noticed that the problem on dexter's rom has been fixed with re-installing the anySoft app.

but now i have a problem on making//receiving calls, every time I try to call or someone trys to call me, I loose all reception for a moment.

when I switch to air-plane mode and back, the problem solved.

I hope that this information helps with debugging, if you need need me to do some tests on my device, just PM me or post, I'll be glad to :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
i knew the launchers but i was just wondering if we could get the original home secreen from motoroi... thnx for advise anyway ;))

edit: how about the phone strorage?? what is causing that?? maybe if we all try together we can solve easier...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
what do you mean? What problem is with phone storage?

With built-in apps2sd I have always more than 100mb free and I have a lot apps installed...;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Finally got around to putting this on (thanks for the tutorial Rev.Kyle!). Looks to be working well, many thanks for this.

One thing that is throwing me off is the haptic feedback is much less noticeable and very subtle. I'm not sure if I like it or not (not used to it), but I was wondering is it possible to adjust it somehow?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
before this dexter's froyo, i had installed korean froyo when it was fully published and i had 221MB free storage in phone memory after a clean install, but with this all we can get 130MB max. i just wanna know why it is different :) otherwise ofcourse im installing all apps to sd now(and i have many apps just like u) and there is still a lot of space. i was just wondering that :)

by the way, im moving all the apps to sd without any 3rd party program, in the "application" settings when i tap to app details, i can move then to sd card without any problems... should i use a different program like "app2sd, move2sd" etc...? what's point if i can do it only with android function??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
the /system was too small on the korean rom, and old 2.1 sbf's used larger system space, so a better foundation to install on for updates.

i tried making a rom fit the korean edition, but not easy at all.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Yeah..the camera and camcorder seems snappier with xavwanted rom. But I don't see increases in anything else really. Great work xav. :))
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
u've done a lot more than many people guessed in a shorter time(u're even better than whole Moto company by yourself) :) we still admire your work man(at least i know i do:) ). 130MB is already enough since we can move most of the stuff to sdcard ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
How can I enable word predictions on the multi-touch keyboard? It looks like a promising keyboard, but doesn't predict anything except from the custom user dictionary. Using the gingerbread keyboard for now (also very good), but want to see if it's possible to get any predictions on the multitouch.

Also, the stock 2.2. home seems much much smoother than the one one 2.1, but missing all the features of the old one, unless I'm missing how to get them on (content shortcuts, icon/widget drag on top and move, etc...). Pity, b/c it's one of the smoothest launchers I've tried.

-Should I install JIT after installing Dexter's Froyo? Does it significantly increase performance?

-Why doesint/will Dexter include this in his 2.2 release?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
dude...froyo already come with JIT...JIT only apply on eclair..:p
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
I'm using androidiani recovery, and in the menu there's a MemHack for Froyo.

I ran it and got 170Mb free.

Is it just a display hack, or it's really 170Mb free?

If it's really 170Mb free, maybe you can look into it.

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
yeap...mem hack is remove dalvik cache to sd...:).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think memhack moves dalvik-cache to the cache partition (which is still internal). Dalvik can also be moved to sd, though. Either destination frees the same amount of space on /data, though. ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
Yeap,u r correct....so which one more stable and fast, move cache to ext3 or cache on internal?..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] en0203:
I guess moving to anywhere is stable, only problem is that the cache space is limited. I would prefer cache simply because its faster, but there is a limit on number of apps I can install, unfortunately.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
With your patch (create sd-ext/dalvik-cache)

I don't see any free spaces...

Do I need to do something else than just creating the path??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
can we do it with our open recovery from dexter's froyo or do i need "androidiani" for that?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] dhawal7:
do i hav to install the update patch of mioze7 or it is preinstalled in this rom?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reaperzero:
the old optimizer script can do that just dont install anything else on it lol
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pavithren:
Does anyone have problems with the face filter in the camera and the dictionary suggestions for the multitouch keyboard? I seem to be having problems with them.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] scumm_boy:
I had problems with the multitouch keyboard not having basically anything in the dictionary. The good news is that I hated it, and once I installed the HTC IME keyboard, I had a full dictionary once more.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No... except reboot if you didn't do that. The scripts run as part of system startup. You can use adb shell or a terminal app to make sure that /data/dalvik-cache is a symbolic link to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. For example in adb shell I see:

$ su
# busybox ls -l /data/dalvik-cache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 20 Mar 2 05:13 /data/dalvik-cache -> /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
# busybox du -hs /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
66.0M	/sd-ext/dalvik-cache
# busybox du -hs /data/dalvik-cache
512	/data/dalvik-cache

Which means that moving dalvik-cache to my ext partition freed 66MB on /data.

Hello Dudes!

My Xt720 is running Dexter's Froyo v1.3 and i got some problems:

-ICQ always got connection problems, so it doesnt work anymore

-Every time i reboot the phone, MilestoneOC disables

-B-Tunes doesn't work anymore

-Every app I want to start got a 1-2sec lag until it opens and loads.

-Already known: Media Button doesn't work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
I'm actually hitting the problem I am not sure why as of yet. It gets to the point when it won't even charge at all from the phone. I had to use an external charger to charge the battery.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The patch adds the support for moving dalvik-cache to sd-ext, that's not included in 1.3.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you running patched or unpatched 1.3? There's a fix for Milestone Overclock http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11632576&postcount=1226
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ranrick:
with Patch but now im running wanted's ROM and it works so far but still lagy. He says somthing about a lagfix and he will add it as a ROM oder patch. Hope it will make the XT720 faster otherwise back to old school ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think the lagyness at app startup is cause by garbage collection when free memory is low, so tuning the garbage collector to keep more free memory available helps. What helps the laggyness for me is running Autokiller Memory Optimizer on the "Strict" setting or higher (I've been using "Ultimate" lately). More about memory tweaking here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956240

I'm beginning to suspect that something is leaking somewhere. Last night I had 50-60MB free when I went to bed after using the phone for a few hours. But, since this morning I can't get lower than 30MB free and it was starting to lag again. I've rebooted and I'm back to 50MB free/snappy again...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I've noticed this as well. My phone seems to be running snappier in most areas but opening any app always has a definite 1-3 second lag for me. If this could be fixed that would be great.

Also, very minor nitpick, but the old red color when you touched something (i.e. an option) was much much nicer than the yellow now. And the old music player looked better as well for the most part.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I use ADW Launcher and there is a setting in there to change the color. It's under UI Settings>Icons>Highlights press color.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Does it change the whole touch color in general of the phone? I mean like when in general settings, or in music player, or Connected Music Player and more, used to always be nice red when I touched something, now it's always an ugly yellow.
