I agree RAM is a major issue unfortunately we need to reallocate from internal storage #$% internal storage move everything to SDcard !

D3x, is ther a way to realocate 64MB from internal Apps storage to RAM?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Unless I'm way outdated in my understanding of computer architecture, I think RAM (volatile memory) and the flash ROM (persistent memory) are completely different hardware and flash is probably extremely slow relative to RAM. But perhaps if you get swap working, you could create a swap file on /cache and some of the less-used parts of memory would be swapped out by the kernel. Based on the small RAM on the device, I'm skeptical that 64mb could be swapped out without causing a lot of thrashing, but you never know. :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] secret_tidus:
depends how is ur usage... if continue on 3g foursquare, gaming and facebook ll drain quite fast.. u ll notice the battery level drop.. i think is normal for a 65nm oc'ed Soc since our xt maximum continuous usage is around 3+ hrs like tat.. if combination a.k.a idle + usage thn around 7-8 hrs
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
Both I and another user had this problem... but the cause is unknown. It happened once on 1.3

The battery drain was FASTER than it could charge when connected directly to the charge... so it was blazing fast battery drain.

I disabled GPS and Milestone OC then rebooted and the problem was gone. I cannot recreate it. Perhaps it was an APP??

I suggest wiping device and try again ;)

Anyway, I'm still using 1.3 and it's awesome. I have my system running at 900MHz and 60VSEL. Very stable.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Your right Once i get my new class10 i will start figuring out a way to get swap on SD working thank man ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
I'm also very happy with this Froyo build, but i'm having a few minor problems:

- App loading has a delay .. i assume that's because of the Apps2SD (ext version, not using FroyoApps2SD). How can i disable it ? I think the Froyo version is fine for me.

- Battey drain: Not as bad as some others have mentioned but definitely faster than with stockOS. My main battery killer is "Android Core Apps". I already found out what those programs are, but there has to be a reason why they are always getting loaded again. Is it possible to check what is preventing the app to stop/starting them again ?

Also on a small sitenote: One of my biggest problems with the XT720 is the RAM .. it's far to small. After a bit googeling i found this: http://code.google.com/p/a-swapper/: It adds swapping to android, but to the SD card, witch is pretty slow and has a limited amount of cycles. Shouldn't it easily possible to use the internal-appspace (because the apps are now on SD via Apps2SD) for this ?

Does TV out via AV 3.5 port works for version 1.3?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
A TV tuner is not part of the US/EU XT720.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Den88:
But he works at the Korean firmware!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think our kernel doesn't support swap? Two attempts:

# cd /cache
# dd if=/dev/zero of=128m.swap bs=1M count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
# /system/busybox mkswap /cache/128m.swap
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4294963328 bytes
# /system/busybox swapon /cache/128m.swap
swapon: /cache/128m.swap: Function not implemented

# /system/busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
# /system/busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /cache/128m.swap
# /system/busybox losetup
/dev/loop0: 0 /cache/128m.swap
# /system/busybox swapon /dev/loop0
swapon: /dev/loop0: Function not implemented

I think that means that means the kernel doesn't implement the function? Or does it mean busybox doesn't implement the function? Probably the kernel, but I don't know how to confirm that.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I know I've read (somewhere) that it is our kernel that doesn't support the swap. (I think it was in the thread(s) about the optimization scripts & applying apps2ext on the original eclair)

How to deal with the problem that MilestoneOverclock doesn't load automatically when I boot my phone? I've read the solution anywhere in this thread but now I cannot find it, god dammit! :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
TV Tuner is a hardware thing. The EU and US-version don't have a TV Tuner built-in, so it doesn't matter if he works with the Korean firmware or not. No TV Tuner built-in=no TV out.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
What do you mean? It works fine here without having done anything.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Milestone Overclock does not autoload at boot ?

How can I enable and install apps2ext / apps2sd? Not the native FroyoApps2SD.

I have big problems using App2Card, it does not find my ext2-Partition.

i'll suggest you to read through all the 20+ pages, to understand everything
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
I tried the swap on my xt720 and could not get it to work and every where I read said the kernel does not allow it....I tried based in seeing khalpowers quadrant scores and he informing me that he had the US rom with swap..

So despite my failed attempts and everything I have read...if khalpowers got itbworking then maybe contact him.

Regarding the native apps to sdcard not working I strongly advise everyone to buy root explorer...you can see the data directory...you will see at the base data directory level the specifications of 170 something mb....with something like 70 or less free and available...if you then select the app directory it will open up and you will see information of directory size that is consistent with your ext2 partition. For me it is 500mb Which is how I set my ext2 up....If I want to move apps to sdcard via settings it moves apps out from that directory onto the sdcard fat format .android secure directory....which is even slower than the app being loaded from ext2 because it has been formatted with encryption.

Just buy root explorer and you will be presented with the information to know what is happening on the phone and sdcard..I promise
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
It does autoload fine here.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Doesn't here.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] scumm_boy:
If you are running Dexter's 1.3 ROM, you'll have to update it with Mioze7Ae's patch (linked to earlier in this thread) if you want Milestone Overclock to autoload properly.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you saying the module doesn't load or that the settings aren't loaded automatically at boot? If it's just that the settings aren't autoloaded this is a known problem with 1.3. There are two ways to get around this:

Create an oc-settings file in the sdcard. Search the thread for "oc-settings". For an example, see post #1225

Apply my bugfix patch for 1.3 which includes a fix for overclock persistence. See post #1226
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] scumm_boy:
Hahaha! I just dug through this thread to find post 1226 to link back in my reply :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Russian language patch.

From Users to Users.

We translated Dexter 1.3 to Russian.

And we think translated well.

So, here is a patch, that adds russian.

To enable it you should install morelocale2 or just wipe all data(then build.prop settings will get ru_RU locale)

Patch

If someone wants to translate the phone and on his langueage - do not hesitate to contact me with questions in pm.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Yeah that's the issue. I'll see if I can try that out sometime, thanks. :)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
u dont need to touch sd, all u gotta do install the updates and wipe-factory reset user data on phone memory, thats all ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
That blows :( .. i assume this can't be fixed without a bootloader hack ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
I'm also currently trying to disable Apps2SD in favor of Link2SD. I was able remove all symlinks and copy the apps, but /sd-ext is getting mount on startup, which is preventing Link2SD from working.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What steps does "all over again" mean to you? How do you generate this error? Can you briefly outline what you've done and what you're trying to do? Does your sdcard have both the OpenRecovery directory and the OpenRecovery.zip? Can you get into OpenRecovery by holding volume up while powering on?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rohalmighty:
no i do not get open recovery when i hold volume up button and power on... i accidentally did factory reset on 1.2a update before installing the 1.3. that removed my openrecovery. so i re installed it and since then this error has been occuring... but this doesnot happen when i install the Blur .4 update.

also my phone is not going in to landscape mode it is stuck in the default portrait mode...

can you help me out with it too
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
When you say you accidentally did a "factory reset" what are you describing? Factory reset from the Settings menu or from the OpenRecovery menu only deletes /data and /cache. Did you use Motorola recovery? Did you flash a sbf?

Dexter's Blur 0.4 is a nandroid image. How did you install that without being able to enter OpenRecovery?

Re: landscape mode--if that's in the Blur 0.4 ROM, probably more people know what's going on in the Blur 0.4 thread (I personally have never used the Blur ROMs).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Also, rename or delete the existing /sdcard/OpenRecovery and /sdcard/OpenRecovery.zip (perhaps /sdcard/OpenRecovery_bak and /sdcard/OpenRecovery_bak.zip). I don't think the System Recovery app will overwrite them if they exist.

Additionally, make sure /sdcard is mounted on the phone (i.e. not exported for USB data access).

One of the quirks of the System Recovery app is it always reports success even when it fails.

I think the recovery app over writes it cause I had androidini recovery and ran the app Dexter provided and now all I have is regular open recovery but the same openrecovery folder is on my sdcard for androidini but it still goes to regular until I reaplaced the folder.

I think I found out which APP is causing the SUPER FAST BATTERY DRAIN

Anyone else who has experienced please read and reply if you have this app installed or use this app: APPBRAIN

----------

I experienced it again yesterday... battery was almost empty and draining fast even though it was connected directly to the charger. I checked the battery usage, APPBRAIN was the culprit.

I uninstalled APPBRAIN and all was fine. Re-Installed and ok again. So, there you have it.

I have installed appbrain, however I have no problems with battery drain. Dexter's V1.3 Rom patch 1

Hi,

Is GPS and FM radio working fine on this ROM ?

Thank you

If they work, I have not had a problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Thank you, I was thinking that there were again FM Radio Volume problems.

negative here too: no appbrain installed. nevertheless I faced the battery drain issue.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tavinsky:
The volume buttons on the radio apparently has not been fixed, but the radio itself if it works
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Thank you very much.

I have another question, are default call and sms buttons in desktop (one green with a phone and the other is blue with a letter and they are near menu arrow) ?

I ask that because I didn't see them in video installation tutorial.

And for the radio player, can I take the apk from my stock 2.1.1 ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
today I had my fourth bootloop because of some problems with metamorph. And all four times with a bootloop since having open recovery I could not boot into it.

I just can use open recovery with a running system- open it from the application itself- but then when I really would need it- it just says cannot open recovery and I have to reflash everything again...

any ideas to solve this problem?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Just to be sure, to boot into open recovery you are holding in the volume+ while powering on the phone?

I've seen this a few times myself & found that if I re-copy the openrecovery.zip file onto the sdcard it generally works.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
Are there more than two options to boot the phone into? I just thought one can just boot into/ open the bootloader for flashing or boot into recovery/ openrecovery where there is the sign with the open folder/ container and the phone or the warning triangle when open recovery doesn't work/ or isn't installed...

I always had the first when using the application to go into open recovery and doing nandroid backups and so on and the last when I had a bootloop...:(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Can someone post a screenshot of the desktop under Dexter's ROM to see if buttons for call and sms are present ?

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] berzel:
They aren't.

Sensors still broken..

I re-flashed with a clean UK firmware, and the sensors are still broken! They constantly report the phone as lying down.

Using sensor apps it shows one axis between 250-9 and not any other range like it should. Upside down it should show 128 something...

Anyone know how to fix this?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Way to hijack my post there kiddo.

And on topic; I figured out the broken sensors is due to me dropping the phone on the floor. Like a dozen times.

This last time broke something just around the time I was flashing 1.3. -_-

1.3 update?

Wow just as i write this i discover a MAJOR BUG!!!! Well i think..

On two Phones after connecting to a WEP encrypted WIFI signal i cannot browse...

After some investigating i realized that DNS was not resolving and assigning a static DNS to my Phone did not fix anything....

I can Ping any website and browse to it by IP address but if i ping by name notthing,,,.....

WPA the same thing... but open wifi works fine :/

Anyone else?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I use WEP at home and WPA at work and haven't encountered this problem in either location.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
yeah.. i'm having browser issues.... 3g and wifi, the browser hangs for 20 seconds, moves, hangs, moves... takes 3 minutes to load a website. Market is also hanging on downloads, they keep 'pausing'. I tried disbaling all plug-in, same problems... tried opera, opera mini, dolphin hd & dolphin mini... all have same problem. Running 1.3 with both Moize7ae Bugfixes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
2G Works fine

2G works (edge network) works fine... any thoughts on how to fix?:confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Just to verify: 2G works, 3G doesn't, wifi doesn't?

My phone (Cincinnati Bell) used to always go to edge only. I could never get 3G. I just thought that was standard, but I ran into someone else that had an XT720 and we were standing next to each other and they had 3G and I didn't!

So... I've been experimenting. Be aware that I don't really know what I'm doing. Previously I had flashed the UK sbf. I've gone back to the Cincinnati Bell SBF (to get my providers baseband, for some reason we can't nandroid those). I created a new boot.img using the CBW kernel by replacing CBW's ramdisk with Dexter's ramdisk. Elsewhere, I've read that you should copy and install /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default. I just copied that from CBW's 2.1 and replace it after I flash one of the froyo ROMs. It seems like other ROMs use radio updates for each provider. I now get 3G occasionally, but like I said, I don't know what I'm doing.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Not meaning to sound rude, but don't use WEP.

It's extremely easy to crack with publically available tools. Anyone can do illegal things on your network.

And as another note, some firmwares don't have all bands, and that might be your issue.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I started with the CBW firmware but I haven't done anything else related to the baseband & generally always get the H with occasional dropoffs to 3G & very rarely down to edge on any (all) of the ROMS I've flashed.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
Hmmm

that had been my experience as well upto a few weeks ago... I even RDS flashed back to 2.1 & I have the same issue... possibly 3g radio failing? works fine on edge network when I limit data to 2g only.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ah! H > 3G > E ! (I had been thinking 3G > H > E, I told you I don't know what I'm doing with these radio things) :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
I always thought that 3G = H ?

And: I still have problems with auto rotate, it often thinks that I am in landscape mode and I can shake and move my phone how I want, the screen does not turn.

Sometimes it works. Where is the compass calibration in 2.2.1 ?? I also tried to install the compass calibration from 2.1 but it does not work..

BTW: Dexter, how about new updates ?;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
if my 3g is on and dont have any issues connecting to WEP but if i turn it off i cannot browse on wifi only on an encrypted WIFI, any type of encryption but i can ping by IP.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
IMHO, H = 3.5G (HSDPA) , 3G is 3G and so on ...
