Nope. It only changes items on the homescreen or in the tray. the menu and all of that is controlled by a completely different file. I am not comfortable with changing those things myself just yet. Maybe that'll be another video tutorial WAAAYYYY down the road. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Heh. It's not a huge issue, though I was a fan of the previous red look. There are a few UI changes that I don't really like, such as that, the messaging app (switched to GoSMS now because of that), google talk and some other stuff, other than that things seem good.

Good to know that stuff is changeable though.

No 3G Mobile Hotspot

Can we add "3G Mobile Hotspot" is not working to the issue list?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] R-D:
I havent tried this yet, but I found this info on fixing iptables for DroidWall, wonder if it will work I dont have time to try until the weekend so maybe someone else can try. Note, the shell commands in the post below likely need some modification to the proper paths for our phone.

Edit: Found some more info saying kernel needs xt_owner module for netfilter (at least for DroidWall not sure about tether) http://code.google.com/p/droidwall/wiki/FAQ

I have a couple modules (untested) which I am attaching here, one is the xt_owner.ko and one is iptable_filter.ko compiled for our kernel. Not sure if there are other modules or dependencies required, or if these will even work. I just cant mess with my phone too much right now.

I do have access to a number of other modules compiled for 2.6.29-omap1 as well if others are required.

Guys, I have a problem, and I think it's major.

I don't know how to prove it nor how can anyone else reproduce it though...

This is very intermitten,but very annoying when it happens...

I can only receive text messages if I connect to the network first (e.g Call or texting), it won't go to my inbox (but it is sent).

Can anyone help?

It's very intermitten, so it's hard to detect...

Like google sms bug that send to anonymous person, it's hard to detect.

But it's there.

Help...

OpenRecovery

Where can I download Openrecovery? I can't find any link for .apk

EDIT : Sorry for this. Got it!

1. Which is best ROM curently for XT720. DarkFroyoMix??

2. Is it compatible with 1.3?

3. If yes do I need to update XT720 with Changelog v1.3 by dexter and then patch DarkFroyoMix by Khalpowers or without it I can directly jump from 2.1 to DarkFroyoMix?

Multi-Touch Keyboard

I am still on the v1.2 and I don't know why the multi-touch keyboard won't work well. There's no dictionary except for contacts etc.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I'd love to see a fix for this.

Dictionary and keyboard problem

I just installed Swype and I don't have any more problems with the dictionary. You may want to try it out, it's free at the moment.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I have swype and it's great. And Swiftkey beta as well. I don't actually have keyboard problem (or a dictionary issue with any other keyboard), but I just wanted to see how the multitouch keyboard worked with predictions, since the keys seem well spaced.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
Go with Swype - open beta

Don't bother with any other keyboard, just download Swype's open beta... Swype is the best hands down.... Fastest & most fun. :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
The btunes issue....you need to re- download..the btunes app goes to a different directory called app-private...which makes it different I suppose and it never gets auto reloaded and is sensitive to new roms etc..just need to re-install
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Hahutzy:
I'm still convinced that SlideIt is better than Swype.. Better word correction IMO.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Smart keyboard is my fave...I highly recommend it...awesome customisations like key height and keyboard calibration..and prediction is damn good.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I agree with this actually. For some reason Swype gets all the hype.

3G Hotspot works for me. I had to clear the APN Type setting from Default to leaving it blank. Once I did that I can tether with no issues.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] earthsword:
O that worked on my phone too! just a simple change of apn from default to blank causes 3g hotspot to work!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sometimes the simple solution, is the perfect solution...

Thanks!! im sure a many is happy with that good advise...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
I'm getting this weird issue where I open the camera app and get the regualr camera options, but instead of showing me things in front of the camera, all that shows up is a black screen. If I restart the phone it works fine and it doesn't always happen, but this is an annoying issue when I want to use my camera quickly and that happens.

EDIT:

Oh also, I'm having some of the same issues as someone else posted. Overclock automatically goes back to 550 on reboot even though it's set at 1000 and autoload on reboot, + I thought that 2.2. was supposed to be faster and 1GHz was also, but loading apps just doesn't seem as fast as it should be (always a lag when opening - though things run fast and smoothly once they are opened).

This 2.2 is good, but looks like it needs some more work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:
if you are using Apps2SD then that is normal, when the apps runs from SD

get a Class 6 or better microSD
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Not using Apps2sd yet. All my apps are in their normal place, not on the sd card (unless they automatically go straight to sd card, but that doesn't make sense since I didn't enable any option like that and stock apps experience the same lag).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
i think i has successfully install app2sd using app2card,it work perfectly on this froyo,all app that i install all in ext2 partition on my sdcard

Request: HOWTO

If anyone feel, they can provide users with a better step by step on the installation for other users.. if my guide is not perfect.

I feel a lot of confusion regarding how to install this, and my mistake, i included a less good/old instruction with the zip which seems to be invalid.

so anyone which feel they got a proper way of doing it, please write it, and ill replace my instruction or refer to it from post #1.

--------------

i think the big confusion is in which sbf to use, and there should not be a restriction on it. Just that you can root it and install the openrecovery app i include and get access to the openrecovery menu.

I did install the backup on my existing beta from openrecovery and then i tested from a 2.1 sbf to confirm that also would work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
Yes the very small one, normally when you press it it will start the gallery if you press it again the camera and if you press it again the video recording mode. Now it is of no use at all i think. It does not do anything.

Is it allso possible to make a nandroid after installing all my apps etc? Or will it not boot after restoring it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
1. Yes, the very small one next to the big one.

2. That was already so on 2.1

I'm charging my battery now and when it's charged, I'm gonna flash 2.2 :) Thanks for your great work so far :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I have successfully installed v10 over a 2.1 sbf this way:

Setup:

0. Start from a 2.1 sbf. Korean 2.2 sbf does *not* work!. I have personally used UK STR_U2_01.1E.0, others report that US STR_U2_04.1E.1 also works.

1. Copy nandroid directory from Dexter's xt720v10.ZIP into root of SD card

2. Install Univeral Androot 1.6.2 beta 5

3. Install OpenRecovery.apk from Dexter's xt720v10.ZIP (do not run before step 7)

Go:

4. Run "Universal Androot" and root device (works on 2.1 ROMs)

5. Reboot (important!)

6. Disconnect phone from USB (or ensure SD card is not mounted)

7. Run OpenRecovery app (called "System Recovery")

8. In OpenRecovery app press "Install Recovery System".

9. In OpenRecovery app press "Recovery Boot"

10. Reconnect USB (for power--don't want your battery to die while restoring)

10. Wait for phone to boot into OpenRecovery text menus (use volume/shutter to navigate)

11. Navigate menus to nandroid and restore the "stock22" backup "Nandriod > Restore > stock22 > Restore All" (do not reboot yet).

12. Navigate back to top OpenRecovery "Main Menu" by selecting "Go Back" repeatedly

13. Select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in the OpenRecovery main menu

14. Select "Reboot System" in the OpenRecovery main menu
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I will be more than happy to create a video tutorial on this process for everyone to see. It will probably be this weekend before I will be able to do so though. I have a question first:

I realize that there shouldn't be a problem with which sbf they start with, but is there any advantage to using the korean 2.2 sbf in terms of memory? If there is going to be more memory available as some people have suggested, then I would like to use what is the most likely to give the best results in my tutorial. If not, then I will be using the US Cincinnati Bell 2.1 sbf as my initial sbf.

Also, since we have determined that there is a definite issue with the Facebook sync, there will probably be a need for additional nandroid updates, thus having the need for people to duplicate this process once the new version is released by Dexter. As this occurs, should we continue to update from the one we're on, or should we reflash to a stock sbf before proceeding?

FYI my market updated magically after I installed an app using appbrain on the phone. Not sure if that's correlation or effect. market.android.com got a major overhaul yesterday and has been somewhat spotty as google runs around extinguishing fires.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
use Marketenabler for fixing apps problem..

im not sure about the games install problem, it seems to be a /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard issue, somehow.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
you need the korean sensors.sholes.so for the korean motoroi, as the lib refer to lh33 accelerator and probably different sensors. lights.sholes.so might also help.

i attached the missing app from 2.2 to get cam function working..

i have just reinstalled the nandroid. and i dont have any sdcard problem? and angry birds install fine?

can it be a defective test on using apps2sd script made sdcard unusable? since nothing works with it?

i did not apps2sd here and i got a sdcard working, so that makes me think you with apps2sd hunger has messed up partitions on sdcard?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
I never installed apps2sd and other apps install fine like paper toss. Should I reformat sdcard
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] gommers1978:
@Dexter, is it possible to make an nandroid that i can recover with all my apps and settings etc. Or do you have to do a Wipe/Data everytime you restore?

What other complete back up options do i have so i can restore the system for example when i install a other nandroid.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Titanium Backup?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Dexter's ROMs automatically move apps to the ext partition at boot if it exists. If you've *ever* created an ext partition, I would verify using adb or terminal that /data/app is a directory and not a symbolic link (because it probably is ;) ).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
why need and ext. partitioun on sd card??

i dont have an ext partition on my sd card but i can move apps to card too... what are the benefits of creating an external partition on sd card??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Den88:
Dexter_nlb, I wanted to ask whether the updates are expected in the near future?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Never created any ext partition. If I go to manage applications - apps on sd card- there's nothing there, so it doesn't look any apps are in the sd card... How do I verify with adb?

Thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I think there is some confusion here. First there is the Froyo native Apps2sd which is what you see under Application Management, this copies the app to a hidden folder on the fat32 partition of the sdcard. Second there is the apps2ext that uses a symbolic link to the (user created) ext2 or ext3 partition on the sdcard, programs installed with apps2ext enabled will still appear as internal to the phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reaperzero:
oh come on he just updated not too long ago. try to be patient :/ he has a life outside of xda too you know
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] earthsword:
from what i gather, all we have to do is just to follow reverend's guide to create an .ext2/3/4 partition then dexter's rom will do the rest? so there's no need to download link2sd?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JerseySeven:
But the multi-touch keyboard is really a joy to type on. Don't you think so??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
The link2sd app allows you to selectively move aps to the ext partition so if you take your sdcard out of the phone you can still use the apps you left internal. The apps2ext method moves all user apps to the ext partition making them unavailable if the card is taken out (or damaged / corrupted).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:

Mirror for 1.3

Good news for Russian users:

i just get working Phone app with morelocale2 with Russian Locale.

To fix it i installed Phone.apk from Dexter 1.0.

How i installed it:

Delete /system/app/Phone.apk

Copy /sdcard/Phone.apk to /system/app from Dexter 1.0

Install Phone.apk

And i got Phone working! =)

P.S. Phone apk from Dexter 1.0

P.S.S. Russian Phone APK Patch Hope, this will works, cause that my first update.zip for OR.

Thank you again, Dexter!

As for FM RADIO:

Just tryed:

/system/etc/motorola/12m - in 2.1 and in 2.2.1 1.3 - exactly same.

After replacing this files:

/system/usr/keychars/ (bin files)

+ /system/usr/keylayout (ascii files)

Buttons stop to work at all.

Even after restart. But it looks like we on right way.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ltp3000:
i just finished the 1.3 instalation. it boots up correctely. but the first issue appears when trying to type something: the virtual keyboard crashes.

i discovered some posts before that clearing the dalvik-cache should solve the problem.

now the question is how do i clear the dalvik-cache?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Switch off your phone.

When Power on - hold volume up button.

When you get to openrecovery - just choise wipe cache, data... e.t.c.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ltp3000:
thank you, everything is working very well so far.

you did a very good job dexter (and the others involved)! :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Okay, thanks. But how do I figure out if I'm using a symbolic link or if I have stuff on a hidden folder or w/e? I did not select any option to do that so I can't imagine why it would be like that, but I do experience a lag when trying to open apps and it seems that most of you don't (although at least one other does) so I want to figure out what's causing it.

Also, does anyone know what "MotoShortcut" widget is? I've put it on and all it looks like is a black square with bevel that doesn't do anything when I touch it or do anything at all for that matter. What is it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I think Mioze7Ae is onto something here.

If you didn't create an ext2/3 partition then that shouldn't be an issue. You can see if there are any apps using the Froyo native apps2sd in Manage Applications >> On SD card.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] syrenz:
Yeah, nothing there.

I decided to try something new, which was to take out the sd card and see how things work (weird that I didn't think of this before :p). Since taking it out, I've noticed a significant performance boost. So far apps are launching instantly with no lag and running fast. I'm going to test this out some more before determining that is the cause of the lag.

If that turns out to be true (and everything works this way for an extended period with the sd card out) what does that mean? Is the low quality sd card the cause of the lag (even though I don't believe I had lag with the same sd card on 2.1) or is it something else...

Hmm. I'll update this after a while to see what happens.

EDIT:

Okay, looked like that helped for a bit, but it's gone back to lagging when opening apps. I installed super box and it shows my memory hovering around 20-30, so I'm wondering if my apps are just running out of memory and closing themselves and the "lag" that I experience is in fact my apps restarting every time I'm opening them (my memory was nowhere near this low on 2.1). Whatever the issue is, it's pretty annoying and a fix would be awesome.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
i been reading a few of these apps2sd queries and started wondering myself what is giong on...and i am pretty confident now of what i see is pretty acccurate to what is happening...

but i will elt you guys decide.

i bought root explorer and now can access the "data"app" library...in its details it is described as 500MB in size, wihch is the size i gave my sdcard ext2 partition.

most of my apps are in there..well i guess all of them except the system ones...there seems to be a double up for some apps between system/app and data/app..but i take it thats because when deexter or xavwanted release their roms they include the same copies of program sometimes that we mostly have.

i have not selected apps2sd or any option/setting anywhere to ensure apps are moved to the data/app directory thats listed as being on my sdcard ext2 partition...but its all there...in fact, even so, for weirdness sake i loaded so many diff version of the roms from xav and dexter just last night, i notcide that when i restart th ephone it was very inconsistent with the apps it would restore and ones that seem to be "gone forever" (have to reinstall)...and those that just have problems starting up (force close issues)...so i resorted to making sure mybackup was working (taking a backup with all apks and data) and restoring all the apps and data once i loaded a new rom....result i see is there are multiple copies of APKs ni the "data/app" library and my space left has dropped as a result...so when i check the data/app lbirary i see 2 version of everything with one having an extended app name to identify its an old version.

so in short...the ext2 works auto, no selection of anything is pre-required...and its nothing you can count on (each app to work stable) after a rom refresh even if you have done a data and system wipe...i done it all sooooo many times on dexters and xavwanted roms to feel confident with the patterns i see.

Did somebody ave problems with batterye drayning fast very fast and phone get realy hot in the back,after instaling 1.3 dexters rom...i had to uninstall 1.3 and go back to 1.2 to fix my probleme....thoes anybody had the same issues.thanks

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
I had this issue far more often with the original 2.1 ROM !
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] berzel:
Battery drain? Try this!

As this is my first post after switching from HTC P3300 to the XT720 I first of all like to say a BIG FAT THANK YOU to Dexter for being so cool and investing your precious time in this ROM (and finally sharing with us!).

YOU ROCK!

I ran into this issue too. The battery was dead after just 4-5 hours. When charging via PC-USB it took 3-4 hours to get to a 100% again. When charging via USB-Charger it went significantly faster (1 hr).

What I did is a couple of tweaks:

I followed the advice found here and enabled push-mail instead of the regular synchronisation.

As I additionally was using K-9 for non-Exchange mailboxes, I changed the K-9 accounts from push-mail to regular sync at once per every hour

I enabled the option to use 2G connections only

Finally I left the overclock at the standard frequency and additionally unloaded the module

That helped so far as the battery lasts for at least 12 hrs. now when the handset is used and up to 35 hrs. when not in use (which nevertheless differs just slightly from the Motorola specs :mad: - that's the biggest disappointment with this model so far and such short battery times actually made me move away from nokia... {sigh}).

I hope the above hints help.

Cheers

Berzel
