Hi nhc

First I partitioned my sdcard into 3partitions..

1) FAT

2)ext3

3) swap

And then I installed open recovery On stock 2.1 And restored to dexters 2.2rom. Dexters rom automatically detected ext3 partition And mounted it in /sd-ext.( checked it using root explorer app). By default all my apps are being installed in /sd-ext.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
The native apps2sd works out of the box. In settings > Manage Applications you can move apps that support this function to the fat32 partition.

[Q] Media Scanner Issue with Dexter's Froyo MOD

Hi I was just wondering what the Media Scanner issue was on Dexter's Froyo mod. How do you replicate it?

I am not sure whether it is my patches or not but I seem to have a music player and can play music with 1.2a with b patch.
[Milestone XT720 General] reaperzero:
you can play music on 1.2 even if media scanner is crashing. it just takes a very long time to load all the music you have

even photos can be viewed but its slow as it can index all the files properly
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I have about 53 albums on my sdcard (300+ tracks). Only 4 albums/18 tracks show up in the music players on the 2.2.1 ROMs that supposedly have working HD video recording. Running adb logcat and Rescan Media to trigger a media scan shows that the media scanner segfaults after a few seconds.

For me, it's not a matter of the list generation or indexing being slow. They never show up and I think the segfault explains that. The crash always happens in the same place, but removing the next albums or the album that it crashes on doesn't help. It could be that it has trouble with one particular file, but I haven't isolated it yet.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
How do you rescan media?

I have definitely more than 4 albums and more than 18 tracks. I have at least one album from each letter of the alphabet + some in Japanese.

However the key question I have for you is how do "Rescan Media"
[Milestone XT720 General] evilplumber:
Need help to install 2.2

I am missing the restore option in the nandriod menu. I go into restore but my only option is go back. Any help in much appreciated.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Replicated the issue

Hi I found out how to rescan the media (there's an app for that :) )

Anyway, I was able to replicate the issue. It appears to only occur on certain MP3 files not on all of them. I have not found out the pattern yet, but so far none of the ones that are simple English are failing. However, the SOME of Japanese ones are failing.

MP3s in media/audio do not Seg Fault either.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
You have to copy the nandroid folder from Dexter's froyo download to the root directory of your sdcard.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
All I can tell from the stack traces I did for two different files were that the errors not not consistent.

One was that when it tries to do a memcpy because it was not a trivial type copy it cased a segfault. This was triggered from an onTransact method call in libmedia.so

The other one segfaults when it tries to invoke the virtual destructor for JNIMediaRecorderListener in libmedia_jni.so. This was triggered by android::MediaScannerClient::endFile() in libmedia

In case anyone was wondering here was the command I used which was part of the Android NDK

trajano@localhost:/usr/local/Cellar/android-ndk/r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin → master
$ ./arm-eabi-addr2line -f -C -e /tmp/libmedia_jni.so 000082f8 000086e4
virtual thunk to JNIMediaRecorderListener::~JNIMediaRecorderListener()
??:0
register_android_media_MediaScanner(_JNIEnv*)
??:0
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Someone else mentioned that too, but I can't reproduce that fix. At first I thought it may have to do with non-traditional characters in filenames or some interaction with FAT32, but renaming things didn't help.

My next step was going to be removing international characters from the ID3 tags and see if that helps. But I was discouraged when I created a simple album subset to test (6 "traditional" and one internationalized with the internationalized one lexically in the middle). The scan crashed in the middle of the album right before the internationalized one. Unfortunately, if I remove the internationalized album it still crashes there. So, I'm sort of uncertain what to test next.

Also, thanks for detailing how you got further than adb logcat.

mine crashes too, so does the gmail application
[Milestone XT720 General] akaresz:
I think it doesnt really matter which original rom you put back on the phone - at least i didnt have any problem, once i tried eu and a nother time korean as far as i remember...
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
writing to a NULL

From looking at the "fault addr 0000000" and creating a sample crasher app, I am with a high certainty that it is caused by writing to a NULL pointer.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Giving up for now

Guess it's not too trivial an issue. Giving up on this for now.

I've tried the following in case anyone is interested:

* changing any of the libc, libmedia* or libstagefright* will get your phone stuck in the white moto logo

* changing the ICUData from Viper ROM (suspecting that it was not allocating the Unicode stuff correctly) had no effect

* changing the libutils from Viper ROM (suspecting that it may be an implementation issue) had no effect.

* changing the libsqlite from Viper ROM (suspecting that it may be a database issue) had no effect.

Anyway if someone can figure out how to recompile libc or somewhere in the chain to put a NULL check and make it dump it to logcat it would probably help in figuring out which part is causing the actual problem.

Shoes me triangle with fone and staus there ave to take out batterie to restart

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
This sounds like the standard Motorola recovery. https://motorola-global-en-aus.cust...one-xt720---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset

To enter Motorola recovery, first power up while holding Volume Up + Camera shutter. After the triangle screen is displayed you have to press Volume Up + Gallery.

If you have installed OpenRecovery, you instead just hold the Volume Up key while turning the phone on. OpenRecovery also displays a triangle screen, but it doesn't wait and goes straight to the menu.

You can access both recoveries if you have OpenRecovery installed.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I've figured out that the Media Scanner crash for me happens because of unsupported ID3 tag encodings. I'm currently re-encoding all my tags to ASCII using EasyTAG (I'm losing my accents and Japanese characters, though :( ).

If a particular folder is giving you trouble and you don't want to reencode your ID3 tags, creating a .nomedia file in a directory tells the scanner to skip it.

I've confirmed that the media scanner follows directories and filenames in lexical (alphabetic) order. So you could create a mp3 file called /sdcard/Music/xxx/xxx.mp3 and if it shows up in the Music Player then I think everything is OK.

It was strange, the file that was tripping up my scan actually had some weird character that wasn't actually a space filled in where a space belonged. It showed up as a space in the desktop music players so it was basically impossible to see. When I told EasyTAG to save the tags in ASCII without transliteration it gave me an iconv() error. That's how I found it in the end.

I also have accented albums elsewhere. The scanner doesn't like them either. Oh well. I'll post later after I've finished scrubbing everything with EasyTAG.

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
If you didn't have open recovery before installing Dexters froyo you can get the open recovery files here. Unzip the file & copy the openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip file over the versions already on your sdcard. Alternately you can try rerunning the install option from Dexter's recovery app but I can't say if that will work.
[Milestone XT720 General] reaperzero:
i just tried this on my phone and like 3rdstrings just said go to open recovery and click on the top button that says install recovery system and then boot into recovery mode via the second button. it should work then.

also if i do try to go to recovery mode without installing recovery system i get the same thing you described earlier. the triangle icon with the !.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Yup that's exactly what I did. The problem is my MP3s are mostly JPOP and anime songs and I kept them with their original titles and artist names.

The notion that it is because of non-ASCII is not really 100% (at least from what I have tried as one of my songs seemed to have worked (although the text became ????? for some reason, and i usually have the MP3 ID3 tags in sync with the file name)

Add the power widget to one of your screens. Cycle through the brightness intensity a couple times. Your lights will turn on.

but there is one major problem:

everytime i have to use the onscreen keyboard, it crashes (i get a message, that the application using the keyboard occured an error and has to be closed) therefor i type anything..

can anybody help?

p.s.

i´m writing in here and not in the particular thread is due to my "newbe"-status, it seems that i´m not allowed to post in dev-threads/forums

i just rebootet the phone a few times and now everything works (until now^^)

Just a tip. If you install the rom with a card that has a partition with data on it it will appear immediately after boot. but the files dont have the dalvik entries. so you need to reinstall them to repopulate the cache :D

Chinese SMS become garbage characters when sending between certain service provider

At first I'm poor in english, so I report this bug for SMS.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Send a SMS with Chinese characters from a milestone of China Mobile to China Telecom(any kind of phone)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A SMS message is expected.

But instead, garbage characters are received on the China Telecom end.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skulk3r:
Sense widgets aren't as fast, but I do love the Sense clock app, the Sense clock widget, contacts widget and photo gallery widget.

the calendar widget is very laggy compared to Launcher Pro, and the actual dock/launcher bar at the bottom is a very wasteful way to use precious screen real estate. I mean - who really needs such a large button for the phone?

Launcher Pro/ADW Ex and other launchers make it really easy to save screen space by having scrollable launcher/docks...but with Sense it just wastes space.

I am using a GingerVillain ROM with ADW Ex and it works pretty well. But I am missing some of those Sense apps/widgets!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
cyanogenmod is faster ,has better battery life,its more up to date and is more customizable.

sense/virtouos has much better apps and widgets such as camera,contacts,keyboard,phone,etc...

it really comes down to personal preferences.

I personally have set them both exactly the way i like and installed all the

apps that i need on them and made a back up so i regulary change between

them whenever i feel like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobie:
I can't believe I'm saying this but I like Sense better now than Vanilla. I have been using the vanilla for a long time now and then tried switching to sense a week ago and I love it.

I'm not a fan of the sense homescreen though but I love the camera app, phone app, gallery, and the minor quirks you get with it.

The only downside though is that IMO it drains twice as fast as stock.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Sense, no question. The superior camera, music, and contacts apps are a no-brainer, IMO. I don't use the Sense launcher, though - LauncherPro for me. I tried Cm7 and honestly didn't see that big of a difference. I get 12-15hours of moderate use with Virtuous v1.0, which is the best Sense ROM out there.

What do u think about the speed on virtuous vs cyonagen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
CM is definitely faster, mainly because its built for that, specifically. Sense is built to give a better user experience. Apples and Oranges. With the stock Virtuous kernel, I don't notice a significant speed difference vs CM.
