FLASH ANDROID 2.2 ON MOTOROLA MILESTONE XT720

Here is how you can install Android 2.2 Froyo on your Motorola Milestone XT720. There are couple of things that you need to take care of before proceeding with the flashing ROM instructions.

PREREQUISITE

1. This method is only for those who are running stock Android 2.1 Eclair ROM on their Milestone XT720. If you have any other custom ROMs installed, you need to flash Android 2.1 stock ROM and then proceed with below instructions.

2. You need to have your Motorola Milestone XT720 rooted before attempting flashing ROM. If not, head over to our guide on how to root Motorola Milestone XT720 in One-Click.

3. Download Android 2.2.1 Froyo ROM for XT720 on to your computer and extract it’s contents.

4. Install “OpenRecovery” app that is included in the downloaded package. The app is in apk format. If you are not sure how to install the APK format app, follow our guide on how to install APK (Non-market) apps in Android. One more guide here.

Once you are done with the above requirements, proceed with the following instructions for flashing the custom built Android 2.2 Froyo ROM to your Motorola Milestone XT720.

FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Reboot your phone.

2. Connect your Milestone to computer using USB Cable.

3. Copy the folder “nandroid” in the downloaded content to root directory of the phone’s internal SD Card.

4. Make sure that SD Card is not connected to your PC using “mass storage share”.

5. On your phone, run “OpenRecovery app” and then tap “Install Recovery”.

6. Tap on “Boot recovery”.

7. Restore the backup “stock22xxxx”.

8. Then Wipe/Factory reset in Open Recovery.

9. Reboot your phone.

That’s it. You have successfully upgraded your Milestone XT720 with Android 2.2.1 Froyo. Enjoy!

[Desire General] ricochet69:
Hi Guys,

Im currently running oxygen RC7 on my Htc Desire. ok im a little confused as to how i have such little space. According to wikipedia the Desire has 512mb flash memory. But according to app2sd it has a total of 185.69MB and according to settings it has 148Mb. So which is it? Now im aware that the rom takes up some space now onto the second part of my question.

I also have partitioned my SD card to 512mb with rom manager, but this doesnt explain the random sizes both A2SD and system settings are saying. Also i dont understand what i achieved by partitioning my sd card i didnt see any difference in size on the storage settings am i just looking in the wrong place.

My understanding is that app2sd moves apps to the ext3 partition created by Rom manager and the stock application manager moves apps to the fat partition. My reasoning for this is that some apps can be moved to SD by the stock application manager and the same apps cant be moved by app 2 SD

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks
[Desire General] Meaple:
I don't know much about Apps2SD, A2SD or what ever you call it but I will give it a go anyway and hope that I help you out a little. I don't use it as I will explain why.

The 512MB size is the total size of the internal memory. That memory is split up into 3 main partitions. /system, /data and /cache. Other things like boot, recovery and so on goes somewhere else. The rom goes onto the /system partition, the apps go to /data partition and /cache is for temporary storage like when your downloading apps from the market.

Try not to do it with Rom Manager. It is a little buggy and doesn't work well. You can use something like gparted to format and partition your SD card.

As for A2SD. I understand that you install a script for it to work properly. By default, it will move apps to the ext partition on your SD card. Please note if your using widgets and the app is on the SD card, you won't be able to use the widgets.

Here is a A2SD script by DarkTremmor. Read up on it. Hope this helps.

I prob am wrong about this but this is my understanding of A2SD. Please update me guys if I am wrong or you have better info. I still don't understand A2SD properly. I will however try it out and see how it works.
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
If you use A2SD (the version with the ext) widgets will work. They only won't work when on the fat partition.
[Desire General] ricochet69:
hey thanks for the reply. ok so this helps me understand it a bit better thanks googlejelly. But this still doesnt explain why a2sd has a different total size then the stock application manager?

Even if you say that by default App2sd moves it to ext partition and that is the reason for the different sizes it still doesnt match up as i created a partition of 512mb and got 185.69 which is a bit far off the mark.
[Desire General] ricochet69:
crap i tried the app2sd script and it messed up my phone, now i cant install any app from the market it just starts and stops straight away. im after doing a factory reset on my phone and even restored backups.

can anyone help?
[Desire General] Coder_ak:
Why not to take any of existent rom with working a2sd?
[Desire General] ricochet69:
thanks for the relpy (both of them) after doing a wipe via android itself, everything is back to normal now. So is it that all i have to do to get app2sd to transfer my apps to my ext3 partition on my sd is run a script (.zip file) in clockworkrecovery?

the one i tried is what messed everything up, i dont know if it was because some of my apps were on my sd (via the standard application manager) or that the script wasnt designed for the desire/the rom im running.

i have partitioned my rom correctly to ext3 so im nearly there :-(
[Desire General] Coder_ak:
With a2sd all apps should be installed in internal memory.

Check what show ls -l /data/ in terminal. If there is symlink to SD - everything is Ok!
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Alright,

So I found what I need to remove it from being enabled by default, but I cannot figure out enough to disable it via smali.

The code:

http://hi-android.info/src/com/android/settings/PrivacySettings.java.html

Specifically,

mBackup.setChecked(enable);
mAutoRestore.setEnabled(enable);

I just need to turn these off, I believe.

Smali code:

http://pastebin.com/LRv3tNdC

Any help is appreciated.

Another reason I hate smali code. I much rather have source. I'd already be done :/
[Fascinate Android Development] andmer:
removing these lines this should do what y

invoke-virtual {v2, p1}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, p1}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V

invoke-virtual {v2, v3}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v3}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V

or if you want to explicitly disable it, this should do it:

invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V

invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V

invoke-virtual opcode means call a method:

opcode {object, parameter}, class;->method signature

Here is some further documentation I found somewhere. If anybody is interested.

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dalvik-bytecode.html
[Fascinate Android Development] andmer:
looking at this code all this does is enable or disable the checkbox, is that what you want to do?

If you want to actually force disable the backupmanager when this method executes:

you probably need to do this:

invoke-interface {v0, v4}, Landroid/app/backup/IBackupManager;->setBackupEnabled(Z)V
[Fascinate Android Development] john122675:
Did you figure out how to stop this i would love to know how to stop it from auto installing apps so i can just use titanium because every time it does it i get a lot of apps i don't even use anymore and spend forever deleting them
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Until this gets figured out here is a work around I've been using. In TiBu, go to option, more, and create "update.zip". This will put a cwm flashable zip on your SD card that you can use to put TiBu back and everything else before entering your gmail info and giving OTA access to unwanted app downloads. After you restore what you want you can go to manage applications and clear market info so when you finally log on and go to the market it "should" only populate the apps you have installed already in 'my apps'. This might not totally work but it should cut back on unwanted downloads. Let me know if this method works out better for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
You can avoid this by skipping account creations at first boot, just hit skip skip next skip. Then you can go into settings and make sure data backup is unchecked. This prevents automatic data backup/restore when you do log into your account. Now log into your Google account. During setup it will ask if you want your data backed up, make sure to uncheck that! It actually comes up with a message that asks if you really want to delete existing backups on Google servers? Of course you do want it to so this won't happen again.

No tweaks, no ADB, no apk's, no TiBu update.zip. All running a clean install of Superclean 2.8, follow those steps and once done you can relax, install TiBu and restore what you want.
[Fascinate Android Development] john122675:
thanks ill try that when i wipe data in a bit for a new rom. thanks for the fast response.
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
X2 That is the best way to do it to start fresh, I do it all the time especially if I start a new rom and want to narrow down a troublesome battery killer.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
I will have to experiment with this next time I change my ROM. I'm wondering if it will have any adverse effects on reboots when wiping cache for patches or themes. Do you know to what extent the auto backup/restore saves settings? Does it backup everything to google in which case deleting backups on the servers once and unchecking the box would fix this for good?
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
Where is this setting? Last time I flashed I set this to 'no' during the setup. But is there someplace to check/set this under settings somewhere?
[Fascinate Android Development] PeterGunz:
Wow, I think this worked. Thanks.

One question, does disabling backup inhibit the backing up of my contacts, emails addresses, etc?
[Fascinate Android Development] tnez:
your contacts should still carry over, mine did
[Fascinate Android Development] tnez:
Thanks a lot!!! Worked without any issues, now I can restore my phone in like 10mins or less from a complete wipe!
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
I think its not quite this simple. Questions in my mind:

Are all the contacts Google Contacts, Phone contacts, or a combination of both? Also do contacts carry over if you do a Data wipe/restore. (I'm not sure of the answer to that since all my contacts are Google contacts.)
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I'm not sure what you guys are asking. All my contacts are Google contacts and they have not been affected at all. This will not affect your contacts, at least not Google contacts. Do what I did, take the time to put all your contacts in Google, contacts problem solved. This prevents the apps from being restored by Google. Every time I change Roms I wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache, then I follow the directions I posted here. Like others have said I can go from wiped to back and running in 10 minutes . I even started backing up some of the settings so I don't have to enter wifi passwords and such. It just works.

My custom colored 4G LTE icons have been quite a success and with that I was wondering if anyone would like any custom icons be it color or different images etc, just send a request and i will do them as they come.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Fate0n3:
Maybe a colored gmail icon...with the red to make it look like the app icon.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kanox21:
Can you post blue highlighted signal bars, like for a honeycomb theme. And A white battery, like the stock gingerbread battery but in a white color.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
ok just plain white any numbers inside?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kanox21:
Nevermind about the battery I found another one, but honeycomb signal bars would be great
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:
Could you please possibly make the the green battery from gingerbread white? Along with the wifi strength, and regular signal strength? Thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jmoney47:
Is there any way you could make the signal strength into a percentage instead of just bars?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
you could but there are only 5 different ones so you would have 0% 25% 50% 75% and 100% theres no way to make it into anything more than that
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Droid-Xer:
Hey funnyface, could you add 30, 50, 70, and 90 to these icons. And put white numbers in all of them for with the corresponding percentage? It would be much appreciated. Its for a port of 24k black for apex.

http://db.tt/9JnHtkh
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jmoney47:
Could I get moar by doing it kind of the same way single percent battery values are done? Such as change the display for certain values of signal strength
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
no right now there are only 4 well 5 really but well see please inbox me ur requests again everyone this dx stuff is about to get real with the bootloader getting cracked
[HTC Inspire 4G] ptulluri:
I was checking the specification for both HTC Desire HD and HTC Inspire 4G and found that Inspire has 2.5GB more ROM that DHD.

Internal Memory	768MB/RAM 4GB/ROM -HTC Inspire 4G

Internal Memory 768MB/RAM 1.5 GB/ROM -HTC Desire HD

But when i go into

The available internal phone storage show only 1.32GB.

That the hd2 is one of the best phones on the market even though its been on the market for so long. Its penta-boot abilities makes it the best phone for someone who loves to tinker around with their phone like me. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techobsessive:
Alright so I ran into some trouble while changing my Icons. When I change the phone.apk Icon it works. But when I change the contacts app icon it changes the phone apps icon to the contacts icon. I dont know why. Im relatively new at this sooo any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
Are you editing directly (i.e. using APK Edit) or you using something like BetterCut/LauncherPro/ADW? I've never tried editing the icons directly, but I have changed my icons on my homescreens using these apps and have never have any issue. If you want a different launcher, ADW/LP will make changing the icon simple, BetterCut can be used with Sense to achieve a similar effect
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techobsessive:
Ah I was editing directly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nephilim:
Yea, I very much suggest using launcherpro, it's as easy as holding down your finger on the homescreen, selecting application and then choosing an app. When it opens the text editor, just click on the actual icon to change it. I keep a special folder called "My Icons" on my sd so it's always in my gallery for use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N-Forced:
Hey I had no clue launcher pro could do that, I've been using folder organizer for all that stuff. Now I have one less program installed taking up resources, thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
FYI LauncherPro/ADW cannot change the icons for folders, just for apps, you're still going to need Folder Organizer for changing folder icons

EDIT: At least the free versions can't

Both paid and free cant.

I have a few old themes that I made for the G1 way back when that I was thinking of recreating for the MT4G. My question is which, if any, would you guys like to see? I would be making it for the community and not for myself.

There are already plenty of good ones out that I've settled on so this would all be for you guys.

Check my Signature for links to the old G1 threads and have a look at them. Of course everything would be updated to fit 2.2 and 2.3 standards as well as higher resolution for everything.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] em2drvr03:
What about darkstar...i think thats what it was called...i used it all the time on my mytouch 3g
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] AGx-07_162:
Darkstar was created by a team of dev's which did not include me. I only listed themes I worked on so unfortunately no DS from me. Sorry :o
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] el-jodio:
If you do remake them, will they work on stock ROM or will it still need a home replacement?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] AGx-07_162:
These themes do not require a Home Replacement. They are themes you would have to be rooted to use and have to flash to apply.

I am working on making an LBP2 theme that will require an Home Replacement and will be put up in the market but anything I put up on XDA won't need it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sianaka:
I always loved your themes on the g1, I actually still have one on it. I think you should make some for cm7 theme manager so that you can sell them on the market. Since cm7 is on many devices you would get a lot more downloads since the theme manager works on every phone cm7 does. A lot of the guys are making free themes and donate versions of the same theme. I am not saying I wouldn't appreciate having the more in depth themes you are capable of making, I just think there would be a much larger target audience if you hooked up some awesome cm7 themes.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] AGx-07_162:
I will look into it. I stopped modding my G1 a long time ago and have been out of the loop on slot of things. Having gotten a MT4G, I want to get back into theme making. I have some new ideas as well but I love remakes.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] stlouie65:
Yes, I would love to use those on my MT4G

Hi guys

Im back, been a while without XDA devs, but scored a mini pro at work...

I see there is so much themes roms and stuff......

I updated to stock 2.1 v 1

Where can i find nice themes? Or is there a ROM anyone will recommend?

I do not want to brick the device, or loose functionality?

I read the stickies, but seems like the custom ROMS is not fully funtional?

Thanks guys! :D

[Fascinate General] smilepak:
Been having poor battery life since upgrade to DL30 and EB01. After various searches and reading, I've done these and it seems to have improved a lot. Want to share with ya'll

1) As mention in some thread, flash new rom only when battery is 100%, this way you can have it properly gague the battery.

2) Before flashing new rom, in CMW, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery (in advance settings), wipe dalik (in advance setting)

3) Once boot up, disable the auto rotation from menu bar. This seems to be a resource hog.

4) Not use ADW and use Launcher Pro (for some odd reason ADW uses more battery I've noticed)

Before doing this, I can easily deplete 10% - 13% per hour w/ extreme minimal usage (no calls, just data). After doing this, I've noticed 6% - 8% deplete per hour w/ extreme minimal usage.

I test this over the last 4 days and flashes my phone back and forth 6 times already heeheheh...

Now I am using Superclean 2.4 Voodoo. But when I was testing, I was using non-voodoo superclean 2.4.

Just my 2 cents
[Fascinate General] jam.i.s0n:
Use battery to as low as 5% , cwm battery wipe. Charge til 100% before unplugging. Should solve your issue. Using eb01 2.4 with mogmight theme and I go thru 3-4% per hour of my minimal use.

Shud be done after every Flash.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Do the wipes you mentioned above, and make sure you run the script adrynalyne posted for battery stat wipes, then follow my step here WHILE using the phone, and I promise you, you will see increased battery life.

If the above doesn't garner you results, then you need to a COMPLETE data wipe. That would be the only difference in our setups.

Oh, and I'm running Launcherpro with no battery drain issues.
[Fascinate General] GrainOsand:
Just a heads up, according to JT and adrenalyne the batt wipe in the new cwm is broken, Adrenalyne has written a flashable zip to wipe batt stats. My batt was horrible before I charged to 100% flashed new rom and ran batt wipe script zip. You can find it in the forum.

Oh yea, forgot that bit. Good call.
[Palm Treo 750] raptze:
Hello everyone!

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Palm Treo 750. I've recently bought a "takeMS Micro SD 4GB class 6 SDHC" memory card (with SD and miniSD adapters) which I'm trying to fit into my Palm. When I insert it, it makes the "beeping sound", but if I go to settings > system > memory, it says memory card is not installed.

I also cannot sync my palm with my WMDC (it says "error" after a minute of trying), though I've already turned off the advanced network option on my Treo.

I'm running Windows 7, my phone has WM5, and i think haven't been unlocked yet. As far as I remember, I was able to sync it half and a year ago, though that was with XP and activesync.

Does anyone have a solution for either of the problems?
