i test on ext2,3,4,nilfs2 partition and it work :D

it will auto mount any type and auto move apks to sd-ext :) (but i think it just boot script so too big data is can't move all on boottime :()

oh i find some missed thing (it not check mount script's replace) so please add it on top rm -f /system/bin/mount, ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/mount)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
sorry what was the question/problem?

the /data/app IS your sdcard if its ext2 & ext3.. atm you cannot undo mounting and no real need for apps or different script for a simple task as mounting a partition, but it could improve as dateno1 shows...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
forget that titanium backup... Root Explorer has all the access to all system files and folders more quickly, u can do everything with it just like titanium backup...

by the way, i remove milestone oc software too, coz the original speed is already fast enough, menu effects, app loadings... i dont know why someone elses' not..??
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
how can i move the cache to sd ext?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
that require the "ramdisk.tar" to be modified for now.. but ill think about an easy way to handle it, like using my "oc-settings" script, but that i recall runs before the /cache partition gets configured, so chaging it in the oc-settings script, will have no impact when phone continue booting up.

just had an idea, that a simple "check" file will be on sdcard, if it exists, it will move /cache to /sd-ext partition, maybe i should use same strategy for added use-sd-ext options, so you can chose to enable app2sd instead of it being forced at bootup.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Awesome! Did you build these modules? Do you happen to have a unionfs.ko?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
If you do remove open recover, is it just a matter of reinstalling it if you want to move to a new nandroid backup?

Is there any risk involved with removing it while running on a nandroid backup?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] islubio:
is it because of the media decoding bug that's y game videos wont run?

games like dungeon hunter, splinter cell n hero of sparta cant work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
hmm, i think i got some Asphalt game here, from my galaxy i can verify with later on, but i did play some other mp4 videos? which i tested to make media scanner work? so i dont think thats why, but i can test my game and report back.. i dont have the other ones..

Removing apps2sd

If you want to stop using apps2sd, what I did was go to openrecovery, delete the softlinks and recreate the folders.

However, this will remove all your apps and you need to reinstall again. I applied the technique to my boot scripts to perform this operation when I remove the SD Card.

How can i get rid of Twitter & Fakebook?

Really don't need this two apps, so i can gain more memory.

Or is it possible to waive that in an upcomming release...?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
FWIW I don't think you'll gain much (if any) memory by deleting them. Twitter and Facebook are currently installed in /system/app, but apps you download from the market go into /data/app or the sdcard which are different partitions from /system. The windows analogy would be deleting files from C:\ to make free space on D:\ -- it won't help. I don't think we can resize the partitions.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Version 1.2 seems pretty solid to me so far. The only things that I've noticed are the 720P recording issue (which I can live without) & the pattern lock screen issue (if you set up pattern unlock the slider screen still comes up). The browser (& xda app & pulse) have all been stable so far, no unexplained crashes, & I don't have a second partition on my SD card so I can't check the aps2ext. The only things I had to tweak were ading the oc-settings file to get my over clock settings to stick & reinstalling MediaGallery as its needed to pick wallpapers, view email and SMS attatchments.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
They still take up a little space in dalvik-cache and they slow down list of all applications *slightly* but sometimes it's fun to just get that bit of speed.

hey....how about the wifi.....

can you make the wifi adhoc active, and make it can read adhoc????its only can read Accses Point...can't read the hotspot i share in my laptop...i try to change the script on tiwlan.ini but still not work...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sariugur:
i didnt remove open recovery, i deleted "Milestone OVERCLOCK" :)

by the way, after installing dexter's froyo, u can delete open recovery and nandroid folder in sdcard too, but ofcourse next time when u wanna install a new version u gonna have to install open recovery again. besides that, its perfectly safe to remove that ;)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
I can't live without 720P recording!!!! please fix and this version is done!!!!

Radio Vol too..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
720p works fine on 2.2.1 release v1.2

So what are you talking about?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
theres no flash. :( i cant find it in the market oh no actually no froyo apps are there. but auto rotate goes both ways now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
I just installed flash from the market and tested it on the desktop youtube page. It's choppy as hell, but it worked.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
why the hell does superonelick take so long to run...if it does indeed run properly at all....the one time i got it to work it took 500 seconds to push the rage file across...other attempts it just says pushing...and i have waited 20 minutes. i only have USB debugging switched on..no connection to storage card. is this normal, or is there something else i am missing with superonelick...:confused:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] easye420:
i cant find flash at all on the market. argh could it be im on cinci bell but flashed UK 2.1 for this.

EDIT:had to download online but it works. plays justin tv pretty good. not really choppy at all. now only if angry birds would install, can anyone upload there angry birds and battle bears apks for me :) that would be awsome
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Dexters v10 does work with UK 2.1 sbf. However, I only see 132MB internal storage free. Using Dexter's v2 and the Korean 2.2 sbf I had 210 MB internal storage free. I'll try again with the Korean sbf.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] reverendkjr:
Keep in mind that this latest version he released may have more included apps than the last. This would change the amount of available storage.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
problem found,can't read sdcard on file explorer
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TG2008:
reverendkjr: Thanks for your Install instructions... I couldn't install the latest for some reason, but I got through it the same way you did.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't think so. I'm not an authority by any means but my understanding is the /data and /cache partitions are independent of /system and fixed in size. On 2.1 /data was approximately 132MB (forgot the actual number). Since user-installed apps go into /data/app, deleting apps from /system/app doesn't free any internal space for app installs. In any case, the nandroid system.img files are exactly the same size in both v2 and v10.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No luck starting from the Korean 2.2 sbf--stuck on the white M logo for at least five minutes just like everyone reported previously.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:

thread change,will try a new edition
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Riley600:
I installed the ROM. So far all I've noticed is the Facebook issue - I can't add an account and sync my contacts.

Otherwise ROM seems pretty solid. :)

Thanks, Dexter :D

/sdcard don't works?

Funny thing.

/sdcard is empty, rootexplorer shows it's empty.

But with quickoffice or players - i can see and use content from sdcard.

Where is problem?

Founded. It in /mnt/sdcard
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
same with me,can't see file on sd with Es File explorer,but with app dual file manager from market all file on sdcard show normally

bro..do u try native app2sd with new release...with korean froyo i can apply app2sd but on dex beta i can't...:(..need app2sd bcoz gamer need more space...:).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] metalizer2000:
yes native app2sd work perfectly,try playing game no problem
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Quick note,

I see problems using openrecovery and boot problems.

two reasons i might not have considered, korean sbf 2.2 make root and data storage bigger, so please use korean sbf...

i updated post no.1 to point to latest version.

and finally account sync's.. I will look into this, please do not keep repeating the facts.

Found bugs...annoying ones!

Ok..so i said earlier i wasnt having any problems with my sdcard locating media files. well then my sdcard f-ed up again and had to reformat it.

RUNNING 1.1B UPDATE! Milestone OC'd to 850mhz 65vsl SetCPU

Updated from 1.1a (also 1000mhz 65vsl) Profiles enabled

this usually fixes it when it acts up i just have to load my music onto the sdcard again...well after the reload, i ran into the problem with it finding my music. my solution = poweramp. i paid for it but it solves that problem for music.

ok now the super annoying bug. Constant force closes on JAVA heavy websites. I think that is when it happens because visiting simple site e.g. Craigslist.org it never force closes. but when i try to log in to Hotschedules.com to check my work schedule it force closes 90% of the time....when i disable JAVA it doesnt force close, but it will not let me log-in since you have to have JAVA enabled to view the site correctly.

check this if you can. anyone try to load Hotschedules.com and scroll around to see if it FC's. it usually doesnt even give an error window it just closes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] sirous123:
My phone is just stuck on the loading page with the "T" it keeps disappearing and reloading, how long is this supposed to go on for? or is it even supposed to do this???

OMG....I didn't wipe/factory reset the phone...........is the phone done now.....cuz i cant get back to the bootloader screen anymore and the loading page is just stuck there.......
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
ill check it.

edit: i checked and i got no fc's here?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i could have left it included, but i got the information that it did not work at all? of course it will be re-added, if it works fine, but i could not open anything for playback?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] TyrionWarMage:
Awesome work. This is a completely new smartphone experience :) .. besides the need to iron out the last remaining problems (like mediagallery) i would be happy to see the froyo tethering option, if this is doable with some apk moving/merging :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
You're right it wont play a video that the gallery app plays fine but if I want to change the wallpaper, without media gallery I'm limited to live wallpapers or the built in wallpaper gallery as my only choices. Maybe there's something else in the market, I guess I have to look around.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
I also just now noticed that the ocr camera is not able to take pictures of anything, it just cycles between focusing.

Not a big deal though as this was not a feature I was dying for as part of the port, more of a nice to have. Dexter, please do not let it stop you from putting out a new release.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
it works fine, just remember to double click and not single click, i made it work here..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
not a bug, but below you got a timeout value, you need to configure, if not set, its set to something like 20+ mins.. so you dont get pattern because 20mins later . lockscreen is default until timeout expire..

i guess its for ease of use..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
You are correct once again Dexter. I never doubted you. Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I set the pattern lock to "when the screen is off". The issue is that when I wake up the phone the slider screen is still there. I have to move the slider unlock & then do the pattern unlock. Other than this (very) minor issue I'm really liking the 1.2 ROM so far, thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Dex,

thanks for all your work.

I just want to request a little something.

Can we have the option for "3G/WCDMA Only"?

Because currently it only has 2G Only checkbox.

On my region the network is awful, I'm stuck at EDGE if I don't activate 3G Only...

My friend Liquid E Froyo has it.

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] cdstewart:
Go into dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*

it will bring up a menu and you can set it to WCDMA only from 'phone settings'

I deleted Milestone Overclock from the system/app folder (using Root Explorer), rebooted and installed it MO through the market and set it up again. It seems to retain its settings now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ChungHung.Chen:
Dear saren,

I'm using XT701, too. But I think you may not need to use TI Backup to restore everything.

Simple reflash XT701 stock rom and reflash OpenRecovery again.

After factory reset, you may use your old nandroid backup now.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:
Hello,

Dexter's rom v1.2 is great. But i have one question regarding installing apps to sd card. Does this rom support it natively without using apps2sd or app2card?.

Even though "On SD card" option is visible on "Manage Applications", i have not been able to move any of apps (already present or newly installed) to SD card using the option ""Move to SD card". This option always greyed out on my phone when i open any application and check "Application Info".

Can anyone pls tell me how to move the apps to sd card?

I tried app2card on v1.2, but it was unable to take ownership of my sd card and unable to partition it to fat32, ext3 and linux swap partitions.

Pls advice.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
there are 2 apps2sd functions included..

the native froyo edition "move 2 sd" option in settings (TEST with GPS TEST app)

the app2ext, make a second partition on your sdcard, and use it for app storage.

its not so visible, but your internal storage drastically stays high, when installing apps, so this way it becomes visible.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] spiderx_mm:
So far so good Dex,

1.2 responds very fast and very stable ATM. Flash videos are playing great. :) no new bugs other than the already reported issues. thanks a lot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] raidontaro:
Yeah, I know about this.

But it's more convenient if it was put in the settings.

And if I set it to 3G Only, the signal is not stable, I've got emergency only and no service, or there's full signal but the data isn't connected...

I've never had this problem on my nokia.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
If the phone is already rooted by Universal Androot, can we skip the first step? I do not have a windows box, so can't run .exe files. adb for Linux works though. Can I start like (1) adb install OpenRecovery.apk (2) reboot (3) copy nandroid on / of sdcard ... (and keep following instructions from there)?

The assumption is rooting is required just to provide openrecovery required privileges.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Yes, if you rooted it with Universal Androot, you can indeed skip the first step. I did it the same way with Universal Androot and 2.2.1 is working fine here.

And you don't need adb to install OpenRecovery btw; just use a file manager on your phone to install the apk.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] chandanbs:

i just tested korean rom 2.2 and stock uk 2.1, and HD recording has same bug here in korean 2.2, but gameloft games does work :-)

Does someone has an idea how to seperate the real bugs from the others? A kind of form to report an alleged bug- and when there are more than three of the identical filled forms its really a bug?

And the form asks for the version, if overclocked or not, if yes- how much, ext2 partition or not, additional app2sd installed ... and so on?

What do you think? :confused:
