[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tavinsky:
I am experiencing slow applications phone after using the patch, widgets take a while to load, sometimes the launcherpro me lockouts, by using any application for a little while, the phone becomes very slow, I used the overlock to 1. and 800 GHz for testing, but the same thing. Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
I'm also using your patch right now, first impression: pretty good.

BUT:

1. Auto rotate , if I rotate my phone 90 ° to east, it sometimes remains like this even if I turn my phone back or so.

2. I cannot download apps in the market, it just says "download is getting started". ----- OK, seems to work now. :)

3. My phone crashes when I use Milestone Overclock @ 1GHz 56 vsel, it gets stuck at the M boot logo.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Patch 1.3 totally broke my sensors, the phone thinks it's in landscape mode all the time.

Anyone else got this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
How are you setting this? (directly in Milestone Overclock or in oc-settings?)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Okey, now milestone overclock works. but im getting all the time errors "application xxx doesnt report". I just flashed the original rom 10 times or so, but there is always any bug.:confused:

and:

apps are automatically installed at the ext-partition, right? ore are they installed at the phone memory?so no need to link them manually? and so i do not have to use link2sd?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Nope, works fine here. Try flashing everything again from the beginning.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] R-D:
Can you include the Google Maps rotation fix in the next patch? Just saves the trouble of tracking these things down over and over if they are all included in 1 patch.

Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Patch 1.3 must've coincided with a lot of bad luck..

When I tap the back of the phone hard, usually the sensor readings become normal..

I broke my phone >_<
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
That's your own fault then. Like I said, the sensors work fine here. If you've flashed everything from the beginning, then this wouldn't have happened.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Well as I said, I get normal readings when I tap the back of the phone.

So I guess one of the many hard drops, made it break physically.

Just happened to be the same day I installed 1.3 :P
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Very stable so far Great work!!!!! loving this version.

apps2ext slows down the phone (like on all releases)

If i dont use Apps2ext the phones just fly's i can't wait to get my class10 MSD....

Great work!!!!!

What to do exactly with the Google Maps Fix ?

Where do I have to extract / move / apply it ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
DON'T extract it. Copy it to the openrecovery/updates folder on your sdcard, boot into open recovery & there is an option to apply the update.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Do we have to make a backup ? Or is it not needed ?

I think we do not have to because it is just an update, not a "re-installation", right?

AND:

Do I have to wipe data / factory reset or something like this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I don't think you'd need a backup (just remember I'm not responsible, just ask my friends :p ) & you might wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partitions but you don't need to wipe data.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tavinsky:
I just applied the update, and did not have to clean the factory, and everything works fine, others not always have a backup copy of the doubts that

Does this patch fix radio FM volume problem ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
No.

10Chars
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Thank you.

Can you give me more precision about this bug, is volume high or low or can we change it by changing system volume before launching FM Radio ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Btw, may I ask something about this?

Conservative governor suggested by c19932 module from nadlabak

What does that do exactly?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I don't tried but I mean it's enable you to chose conservative mod in setcpu.

Conservative mod is like ondemand but the CPU further adding more gradually to better adapt the application so, it's good for power save.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Ah, thank you :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's similar to interactive but it smooths out the transitions between states and takes smaller steps to move between the high and low states. interactive will jump between high and low immediately on demand, but conservative steps somewhat slowly between the extremes over a short period of time. Supposedly this is easier on the batteries. "conservative" here is used in the sense of "resistant to change".
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Cesantony:
Well, i just want to ask: this pathc (v2) don't have the conservative governor? i have to install it like an update?

Sorry if i can't understand very well this things, but i apreciate some explication/help

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
That is correct.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Uhm questions:

1. All my apps are still on the ext3-partition, but I cannot run them? They aren't shown at homescreen. I can't use "mass storage" by connecting my phone to the laptop. Gonna reflash custom rom and then do again all that process.

2. If I install all the things and then apply the bugfix patch, do I still have to use apps like link2sd? Or are all apps automatically moved / linked to my ext-partition?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Possibly an error was detected in your ext partition and it wasn't mounted. If you have adb (sounds like from #2 that isn't the case) or a terminal, look to see if /data/app is a symbolic link (ls -ld /data/app) and whether /sd-ext is mounted (mount | grep /sd-ext). If they're not there it's a good chance that the fsck failed at boot. You can try backup and restore of your "SD Data" partition in nandroid. No guarantees that this will work if the filesystem has errors, though.

No, you're not forced to use apps like link2sd at all. That's all up to you.

If you just want app2ext (i.e. all apps go automatically to ext partition on your sdcard) you have to do is have an app/ directory on your ext partition. A difference with this patch is that creating app/ on the ext partition is not automatic (it is automatic in Dexter's original).

Aside:

It turns out that nandroid restore of "SD Data" in OpenRecovery will both fresh format the ext partition to ext2 and also extract ext2.tar onto the newly formatted filesystem.

So...

If you want a freshly-formatted ext2 partition with an app/ directory so that app2ext is enabled, a low-hassle way is to copy ext2.tar and ext2.md5 frem the nandroid-app2ext.zip attachment to /sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/app2ext/ext2.tar and

/sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/app2ext/ext2.md5 and then restore the app2ext backup in nandroid. **Be aware: This will erase anything you have on your ext partition.**
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
So if I create a second partition (for example 600 mb fat32) and I use Dexters 1.3 with your bugfix patch, I can link my apps manually by using link2sd and there won't be any problems? So the phone does not automatically move my apps to the second partition?? Is that right ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
There probably will be problems. I haven't tested using fat32 for the second partition. My gut says that will need some minor changes to the boot scripts. I'll give it a look later this evening.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Hm, it doesn't have to be fat32, it can also be ext2/3 whatever. I just wanna know if the phone does automatically move apps to ext partition or if i have to move them by using link2sd to the second partition?

Understand what I mean? :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Instructions from the OP
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Actually I'm pretty confused now. What exactly do you want?

0) Apps install internally

1) Configure so all apps are install on ext partition

2) Configure so some apps can be moved to ext partition manually

3) Configure so some apps can be moved to extra fat partition manually

What I'm getting is you wanted #1, but then you wanted #3 and now you want #2 and you want to know if the phone does #1 by default.

Without the patch, Dexter's ROM does #1 if you have an ext partition and it is difficult to do any of the others. With the patch the phone does #0 but you can configure it for the others except that #3 may not work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] stergis:
great work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Ok, I actually I want #2 :p

So with this bugfix, my apps aren't automatically moved to ext-partition, right ?

For #2, I have to use apps like link2sd to move some apps to ext-partition, right ?

:D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Correct. Create an /sd-ext/link2sd directory and delete any /sd-ext/app directory (if it exists). The boot scripts will take care of the rest on the next reboot and Link2SD should work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Okey, thanks !

So why do I have to delete /sd-ext/app directory ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
If you don't all of your apps will go there instead of internal and link2sd will be disabled. (Link2SD would just be moving apps between two directories on the same filesystem so it's pointless and verboten)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
K, I'm gonna try that. ;)

Is ext2 better or ext3?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I prefer ext3 because of the journaling--there's a better chance that fsck will be able to recover/repair the filesystem after a system crash.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Another question:

With link2sd will selected apps (including cache and data) moved to ext-partition?

I am a bit confused about "link"2sd.. I think "link" does not really mean "move" ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What Link2SD does is move /data/app/something.apk to /sd-ext/link2sd/something.apk (technically to /data/sdext2/something.apk -- the patch bind mounts /sd-ext/link2sd to /data/sdext2/ because Link2SD refuses to run if /data/sdext2 isn't a mount point) and puts a symbolic link in /data/app/something.apk pointing to the moved apk. Link2SD can also optionally do the same thing for the dalvik-cache of linked applications--it's a preference in the app itself and that can be done on an app by app basis (I haven't tested if that is compatible with the memhack, though). There was some discussion about also moving the apps data in the Link2SD thread, but it's not currently implemented and I don't think the developer liked the idea last time I checked.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:

Will this patch fix fm radio volume?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No, I haven't looked into that and I probably won't have time to look into it today. Unless there a fix available already somewhere that I can port. Otherwise, I'll look into that after this patch.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I already explore sometime about fmradio.

com.media from framework already has been replaced from korean.. don't work.

No more settings about media in framework i don't found.

Also in korean and in 2.1 version in audio manager we have channel "FM Radio Volume", but in our rom we haven't it.

Because ms1 don't have radio...

So i searched sometime about how to add channel... but my tryes don't goes to anything...

Also in sources from korean rom there's no any statement's about fmradio app...

I hope this will help.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Thank you, it's the only bug that make I will wait to upgrade to Dexter's ROM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mikekop:
To be honest, I hate the FM Radio app. It sucks not having RDS, my OLD SonyEricsson P1 has RDS and it is like 4 (hundred) years old! I wish that the Droid 2 (or X?) fm radio app could be used on XT720...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Thanks for the new update!

I'm already running Dexter 1.3 with your bugfix v2. Can I install v3 over v2 without wiping data? And if so, via Apply update or Nandroid?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Apply update and wipe dalvik should be enough.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
Thanks, gonna do that :)

FmRadio

Ok, so i have new idea about don't working volume buttons.

That non solution for hardware keys.. but...

We have fmradio.apk...

In fmradio.apk there are getters and setters for volume, like getVolume() and setVolume().

So, maybe we should just add softkeys to app, that will change volume level.

And problem will be solved.

For Gallery key:

I found some info on xda dev about launching service with keycode.

Maybe if we could write service to launch gallery... and add keykode of our gallery button to this service - when you hit it - service will launch up.

Launches gallery:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.motorola.gallery/.LaunchActivity

That idea for solutions for our famous troubles on Dexter's mod.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Onesimus:
I'm currently running on Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1 for XT720. Just wondering if I should apply the stock221v13-bugfix-3?

1) Would this patch tweak the battery life? Currently, it seems to be draining the battery pretty fast.

2) Is there any pre-work done on the sd card prior to the patch update?

3) Any particular setcpu.txt for SetCPU to share? Do you overclock it? What's the voltage setting for the overclock/underclock settings?

Thanks in advance
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] :
1) No drain here on Dexter 1.3, but no drain either on this bugfix-release, so you can try and see if it improves for you.

2) No, why? It does work, although I don't notice that much difference, but it depends on SD-card class and the amount of storage on the SD-card.

3) Depens on how you want it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ivan_helsin:
how long can it takes to make a dump (step #4)?

I'm waiting about an hour. And start thinking- i'm stuck =(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
It shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It will depend on your SD card speed and whether you requested compression (compression is much, much slower--nandroid doesn't compress on the fly it first writes the entire image to the sdcard and then writes a compressed copy and deletes the uncompressed image. It may also verify the compressed image, but I'm not sure). Be very careful if you're in OpenRecovery for this long. In my experience, OR drains battery even when you're plugged in to power. Periodically reboot to check your battery levels.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Hi,

Did you find how to fix FM Radio by fijfalcon's way ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
Just curious if anyone has tried this (camera frame rate update) on Dexter's 1.3 with bugfix v3.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Im going to try the cam fix but first, Mioze7Ae do i need to update v1 first then update 3 or can i just go straight to v3?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You can go straight to v3. But what does an improved framerate do? I played with those settings before and the actual recorded files didn't change their framerate at all. What does change the frame rate is changing how bright of a scene you are recording. i.e. filming under my desk had a low frame rate, and filming the lamp had a high frame rate. So be aware that the sensors "know" what they're doing to some extent and reduce or decrease the frame rate based on incident light levels.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
I am going to test and il let you know :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
CamV3 does improve hd rec framerate on device.... cant see a diff in playback on pc

playback framerate on device is improved
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
So the difference is improved playback on the phone, but no real change in recording quality?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Exactly, but play back on device is much better and lot less lag in transitions...

Well tunrs out that V3_cam patch causes the original Cam issue to return, "Low memory error, Stop recording"

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU i have to reflash again.../..

Confirmed it's the patch that causes the problem for me anyway any one else having this problem?

hey guys, i found a page that suggested some mods, and one of them was to do with the jalvik VM heap size...it recommended to increase th size from 30mb to 32mb.

So i went into the build.prop onmy xt720 and found that setting and saw it was 32mb already...so thought that is something dext already done for us, so i thought i would increase another 2mb to 34mb heap size...

from my testing so far, i got to say i cant see any bad impacts, i have run all my programs and played within each app as much as possible (for stress testing).

There is no real noticeable improvement, other than this...my homescreen is always responsive...i.e. when ever i exit an app it is there loaded...not waiting 5 seconds or more for all the icons to appear. The only time it lags is after playing angry birds, or handcent sms, but even then no where near the amount of time it used to.

Give it a try guys, and see if any improvements and if any drawbacks...maybe it improves camera too? its hard to tell when you are so passionate about the camera, sometimes you will tell yourself things in order to believe :)

I also got this problem. But it takes very very long time to connected to my router (TPlink). And need open ~ close ~open close.....the wifi feature.

But after some experiences, I found that if I don't deactivate the 2G/3G function, just open the wifi function and it will connect to wifi at once. (before, I would deactivate the 2G/3G function pior to open the wifi).
