Arabic Fix

Thanks i found a fix for arabic charecters that worked flawlessly from ardoid but only with the 1.2 version

Attached are the libskia and libwebcore that has to be copied to the system\lib folder with overwriting the old files (you can use root explorer or super file manager for example to access the root folder)

However this fix doesnt work for the motoblur edition as there is not enough space in the system folder to try it...

I have the same problem, titanium backup does not show up the apps installed at the ext3 partition.

Edit:

Upgrade to Titanium Backup Pro 3.6.8, it's work fine.

about HD recording

ok...not sure if anyone else has tried this. i used milestone overclock and lowered my cpu to 780mhz 52vsl (runs about 878 on Quadrant Still nice)

I can now watch and record HD video again.

Running 1.1b updated with patch. not 1.2.

I am still having issues with the FC's on the browser. Same site Hotschedules.com. if i stop the browser from loading the page early sometimes it wont FC. Is anyone else have browser FC issues on 1.1b updated?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] patejlice:
+ FM radio volume control
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
I'm on 1.2 - just tried Hotschedules and it didn't FC on me.

I'm running 1000mhz @ 60 vsel. Seems pretty stable (and snappy) for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] R-D:
If you clear browser cache/data in Applications it may work, I have had same issue on random websites. Clearing the cache is not permanent fix, page will load a couple times and then start to crash browser again.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Canadaboy:
Since going 1.2 there has been no FC of the default browser. Very nice there.

Hi.

First of all, thanx a lot for this 2.2.1 nandroid backup. :D

By the way, it seems that exchange synchronisation is not working. :/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Can someone please test this patch and confirm that 720P recording is working again, and secondly verify some gameloft game that used to work on your mobile.

i have tested it with 720P recording + gameloft on top of 1.2 release, but i would like to have another persons confirmation.

Download patch here (2.5MB)

Mediascanning might be broken somehow, which means that not mediagallery might not update, as i mentioned previously. i will see if i get time to check up on it. it does scanning but seems to break at some point.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i just tested with my company server, and it works fine...

you should note, that some companies have installed a exchange patch, which android do not support, and the functionality for that exchange version then is broken in 2.2..but thats just info. it works..

ps: even lockscreen security is required, which i could live without!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
No 3G Mobile Hotspot

Yes I can confirm the same issue on mine. Could it be that 3G Mobile Hotspot does not work on our phone because it can only set up as ad-hoc? I know that Barnacle Wifi works well on 2.1, but it does not work on Dexter's mod

what problem with gamelof game?crash?or can't in to game?i use 1.2 about 2 day and no problem about gamelof,lets golf,avatar,nfs shift,asphalt 5,assasin creed are work,but I did'n play too long but always can in to all that games,only hd recording doesn't work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
for me the games failed loading..

but ok, so then its just 720p check needed then...

I have try patch12,hd video recording is able but media galery crashed and 3d galery become FC,so I locate my hd recorded with file explorer and play it,and yes..hd recording is back
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
Same result for me. It records but no preview/review choice, media gallery crashes and 3d (cooliris) gallery FCs, but, the video is recorded and can be accessed and played back using a file manager.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
Application recovery

Not sure how the application recovery was done, but when I did an install with my apps still from apps2sd I am getting FC on my apps. The reason for those may be because of permissions and they apps not catching them correctly because after a reinstall the permission data may go away. I had a fix for this on my scripts.

https://github.com/trajano/xt720opt/blob/master/pkgexec/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

starting at line 55 where it says fix_permissions()

This will add all the permissions to apps that have no permissions set, but the moment you use your app the permissions get restricted to the ones that have been originally requested.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
Pattern lock

I tried the other way just to test things out. I set the "Screen Lock Timer" to one minute. However after 2 minutes I still get the slide lock followed by pattern lock.

In 2.1 it will just go to pattern lock only. Perhaps the original poster and I wanted the same thing which is to have no slide lock.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mikekop:
For me, the FM Radio is useless as long as it does not support RDS. I don't use it, just because of that!

@Dexter, is there a small chance of making the Droid 2 fm radio apk compatible with the XT720? I tried to install it, Astro recognised it as system app and gave options Uninstall and Update, but the install failed:(

BTW, a million thanks for your work on this!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
Is it possible to move back to 1.1B without having to wipe?

Answer: Yes it is, i just reverted to 1.1a and then updated to 1.1b as I was not experiencing the media scanner issue. All is working well including HD recording and both galleries.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
One more bug:

when phone in sleep mode sometimes when i receive calls - i can't move slider.

Power button helps. But bug is nasty =(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
yes it records 720p but 3d gallery and media gallery crashes when i try to open those videos with them...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i dont have the problem here, i did a full wipe, tested scanning (saw photo / video appearing), and did 720p recording... still the old mediagallery bug i cannot open video, but 3d gallery works here.

did you apply something else to the image?

like different apps2sd or something which could affect it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
No changes were made, I simply restored the new image and applied the update without wiping as you suggested. In my case neither of the galleries work, Media Gallery crashes and Cooliris Gallery FCs, and when you finish recording a video there is no preview.

As a result I moved back to 1.1B. Are there significant differences between 1.1B and 1.2 ?

Is there any risk in moving between nandroid backups so often? Will device performance deteriorate?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
:-( yes it will, you got about 1.000.000 tries left.. (its no lie, the nand does have a limit, but its millions!)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
:p hardware limitations. I am more worried about my sd card going bad than the board nand memory. I think once I go through about 5 sd cards I will start to worry about how many rw have been executed against the board memory. lol.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
well since it was just a little update like before, i didnt wipe at all. i didnt apply anything else to original image, i've been using it just like u've published... but i think probably its because of i didnt wipe-reset all the system... its ok for now, i'll wipe with new version... dont wanna spend a lot of time to re-install all that stuff :)) thnx for everything, awsome job ;))
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] rubbamade:
Are you using SetCPU? i was using SetCPU and i had my "screen off/sleep" settings down to 250mhz - 125mhz. I found that the low setting were too low to let me unlock the screen when i received a phone call when the phone was sleeping. I raised my settings in that instance to be 500mhz - 125-mhz. Having a higher resting MHZ setting solved this problem for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
new patch update, i found the missing "link".. it should be fine now..

please someone confirm.. download here only on top of v1.2

purpose is to fix 720p recording... MediaGallery should NOT crash, but cannot playback video, only view pictures.

use 3D gallery for media playback..

Tested from wipe image, sdcard photo/video is found , so mediascanner works, but can conflict on occasion with old mediagallery app being the cause.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
Just did a full wipe and reinstall. Same issues exist with the galleries.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ok, confirmed!

ill make the full nandroid available, somehow the patch do not do as expected. :-(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c19932:
thanks dexter for your hard work.

I finally upgraded to 2.2 with your version 1.2. I was wondering if there are any light notifications for missed calls/msg/txt? I tried it and there are no notifications at all. If possible, please include such into your update.. thank you!

Battery Life?

Has anyone else noticed a huge decrease in battery life with 1.2?

I found with 1.1 my battery life was excellent while now, I am needing to charge constantly.

Any help?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Just installed 1.2 and applied patch. Screen frozen a few times, requiring battery pull. Not going to give it up though. Also I see /data/app is symlinked to /sd-ext/app. In such case, there is no point of "move application to SD card", right. Just the apk will be split and copy will be made to /mnt/sdcard (FAT32).

Anyway, I am able to record HD, see attachment:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tarney:
Noticed the same battery issue....

+ 1 :) expected an increase in battery usage but not this big of a change
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
Yeah, definitely seems to be worse with 2.2.1. Don't know if that's a symptom of the OS or what.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
you can always install the korean 2.2 and compare.. but you need to have some autokiller software on all models to get close to what battery stats are best.

because they all have different background services actually (Blur rom being really nasty)..

but the stock korean i posted is the closest you get to battery stats cmparison, as the 2.2.1 do have other active services.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Updated post with new v1.2a , fully tested for 720P recording and stability of 3D media gallery .

- the old mediagallery is not supposed to function 100% as its not compatible with 2.2.1. so dont expect mediagallery fix.

the 1.2a image, has been tested from a clean wipe, and there is no fc issues related to playback of video or photos in 3d gallery.

- video recorder "view" button is inactivated.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
for all users of Titanium Backup pro- In case you did not notice before- it has the option to move applications to sdcard, too. So if you already use it theres no need to install an addtional apk for this.

Just for comparison: Version 1.2 with ext2 partition and Spare Parts installed. At the moment I have 126 applications and 92.2MB left of internal space. A2SD is used with 54MB.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
I just wondering.

When I turn this phone on without SIM or in Flight Mode the battery is much more better, so I think (maybe, just dumb thoughts) that the OS or running apps is not the problem with battery, I think it's somehow related with the baseband, or something. I don't now...

Any thoughts about this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ronnbon:
so does it means we have to do a wipe after restore?

(I don't have FC issues at the moment- of course I would like to take every improvement you offer- but I don't want to wipe my phone again for issues I don't have... ;))
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
Does anyone have an issue about 720p playback?

I download video from youtube, MP4 720p, and it was very laggy when played, very slow motion and stuttering..

But with 480p it's fine.

To Dexter, have you look into this?

Thanks for your hard work.

libwebcore.so

in v1.1a the libwebcore.so supported Arabic in the browser perfectly I don't know if that was intentional, but in v1.2 it doesn't and when I tried to switch them it didn't work. I was wondring what have you changed?

keep up the good work. :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
Freshly nandroid restore 1.2a

For 720p playback, after recording, I go to 3D gallery and select my file. But it got an error

"File cannot be displayed or played"

Using VPlayer to play MP4 720p video, it's very laggy and slow, the audio desn't match the pictures.

Also I got really bad "stripes" on the image when capturing photo or video. I use it indoors.

OCR Not working, it doesn't happen anything when I press camera button.

Don't find anything else at the moment.

Will report soon.

Thanks a lot dex!

I am using 1.2 with patch. Is there any difference with 1.2a? Whatever it is, even with ext2, I remember Dexter warned that Quadrant benchmark will suck. I see it kicks instead.

Anyways I am getting too many freezes ... especially when installation. Looks like ext2 driver is acting up. If I just reformat my 2nd partition to ext3 instead, and restore the files, will it still work? Will it get mounted automatically at /sd-ext at next reboot?

Edit: it is mounting my ext3 as ext2. Because of backward compatibility, we are getting away with it. Can I force it to mount as ext3?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
baseband 3G do cost alot of battery, the experience is known from Milestone, ALOT of discussion on that topic, only good experience is switch to 2G, if you're not a mobile data person, so why waste having 3G enabled, it does not improve calls at all.

i have not looked into this, but if its like defy, its probably not working.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
I checked /system/lw/mot_boot_mode and near the bottom there is a command "mount-oro,remount /". Notice the missing space between mount and -o. Is that's why / stays readwrite? BTW where exactly are we mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2? I can fix it to mount as ext3 (if available)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
So, is it any chance to fix the stripes? I think this is a major problem, but don't rush, I can still live with it.

Anyway, I try OCR and press the camera button repeteadly, but also nothing happened, but I never use this function, just want to test it.

Yeah, I know. I'm using 2G always. Just enabling 3G when I want to download something. But still the comparison of battery use between 2G only and flight mode/no sim is very much, is it the baseband that bad? Can it be fixed?

And how's the 720p playback I mention?

Sorry for much asking.

Thanks dex.

of i apply the update to 1.2a when i lose any data/apps?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i can update the mount, so it does ext3 before a ext2, so journaling gets enabled.

and freezes must relate to a slow sdcard, i got no problems with ext2?

but i will probably need to update it, as i remember there is no fsck running before its mounted, so any errors found remain as error and could actually affect download or installation so a small update should be made to fix it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Dexter, may I ask what you've changed to 'fix' the 720p recording? 'Cause the 720p recording is working fine here and I don't run 1.2a yet.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
in 1.2 the recording playback failed, but i do suspect the recording problem to relate to the mediagallery not being included, but those that readded it, enabled it? is that what you mean? let me know and ill check up on it.. i dont have a change to verify it here now..

Okay, I correct myself here: 720p recording isn't working at all. It seems like it's recording, but when you're done recording, it results in a 0kb file, even on the PC. So it's not working at all.
