Which ROM ?? > New Noob Milestone User's Question ;)

Hi Mates!
Tomorrow i'm going to recieve the post package with my brand new Moto Milestone I can't wait...
I have looked through threads abouts available ROM versions and I dont know which one should I flash to my new device... I want to have everything working, and good battery lifetime (bla bla bla , You say I should stay at stock ROM, but I wand something more)
It would be nice if the rom has overclock. It should be smooth and beautiful.
I request suggestions Thanks alot

Hi,
I would avoid official one, go for Got's 2.38 or try EclairMOD by 89luca89
Maybe Got's one if you begin with android.
They are 2.1 android, much more stable than the Motorola's one.
After some time, you can make a nandroid backup of all your system, and then test Dexter_nlb "rom" like Sense UI MOD or MotoBlur or MotoFrenzy, they are Android 2.2 based Mod. That's for the one i tested, but they are maybe other mods.

Thank You;-) so at last I get my Miledtone, which is my 3rd andro phone. Now I'll try the stock eclair but I'm going to do some changes firstly I'll learn typing on phisical keyboard

With Got's image all the phone functions are working well?
The installation of this SW is like installation of the original one using RSDLite?
Many thanks in advance.

You can install with OpenRecovery is more easy.

The CM7 on MOTO XT720

I heard that this forum is a master transplant CM7 ROM, I would like to ask about the current progress
What is difficult to solve the problem?
Can provide the current ROM, I would like to try
Want to provide,
Thank you

I want to start by saying THANK YOU FOR MIUI!!!! You are awesome. And they have got cm7 booting up on xt720 but only if you flash motoroi 2.2.1. But the touch screen is not working. If I were you I'd get with Mioze7Ae. He's the Guy to talk to about it. There is a thread with the ROM download in it in the general thread.

stlifey made a port of CM7 to XT701. That is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064090
If download links are dead there, let me know and I can mirror/reupload.
I think this is the main development page for the XT701 CM7, but the forum seems to be down for maintenance right now:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-1297281-1-1.html
It doesn't work on XT720 yet. This is where things stand:
Using Milestone XT720 2.1 sbf
If you use a Milestone XT720 sbf, then it doesn't boot. I've been modifying it and have gotten it to go further with adb logcat working to get some messages out. This is the latest version I've been testing that makes it the furthest before rebooting:
http://www.multiupload.com/ULWN2ERP02
The radio panics and panic_daemon shuts down the phone. If you modify the init scripts, you can disable panic_daemon. Then it will boot to the point that zygote tries to start but has a library link problems so I've changed too many libraries .
From Korean Motoroi XT720 2.2 sbf
sktjdgns1189 figured out that if you flash the Korean Motoroi 2.2 sbf, root, install OpenRecovery, and apply the XT701 update without any modifications it boots up, but the digitizer doesn't work. You can do some things like long press the camera button to get the camera to come up and you can take pictures. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118236
Eventually it will crash and reboot. The bad news is that for some reason after you flash the the Motoroi sbf on Milestone XT720, you can't use volume-up to enter OpenRecovery. So you have to use adb ("reboot openrecovery") to get back into OpenRecovery. But I haven't been able to get adb to startup. So that means you're back to sbf for the next try. I can't figure out why the touch screen doesn't work.
sktjdgns1189 has also figured out how to get the battery notification working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124927
Edit: Forgot to mention that we're now pretty sure that sktjdgns1189 has a Motoroi XT720 based on his photos. I've reproduced most of his results on a Milestone XT720.

Looks like stlifey plans to release CM 7.1 for XT701 this weekend.
Off topic: Does anyone know what all the "ah"s that Google Translate adds means? I think wiktionary suggests "啊" == surprised+"!"? Also, does anyone know a good place to look up those four-character idioms? There's one about hunters that comes up a lot. Just curious.

lols. ah is like "oh". for idioms maybe you can copy to google then add "english meaning"

I see! The google translated posts just seem a little strange because I guess "ah" and "oh" would come at the front of the expression in English. It can seem like reading threads where everyone is talking about Candlejack and then sudde

Haha, just post here if you need any translations awaiting patiently for CM7 Gingerbread XDXD

i can help a little with the translations too, haha. SOOOOO EXCITED FOR GINGERBREAD. i like the stock look of cm7 and of course the turning off crt animation of 2.3. CANT WAIT!
do you think we can get 2.3 miui running on our phone?

Yeah, gingerbread is much more attractive than 2.2 and below all around. Plus it's supposed to be faster (and CM is supposed to be even faster) and have other goodies... would be so fantastic to see this for the XT720.

if you want to use adb
just use 2nd-init (default.prop : ro.secure=0, ro.debuggable=1, persist.service.adb.enable=1, persist.factory.allow_adb=1)
(and some code in init.mapphone_umts.rc (it for adb on bootup))
then you can use logcat/dmesg and etc even on bootup

wait and sad

CM7 would be a dream come true.
Best of luck guys, I will be watching

Wish I would know how to contribute to this happening... would make me feel better knowing I was making some progress. Well, hope this goal is attainable.

Cyanogen from Milestone could easily be ported, like i did htc sense like on milstone... the issue is requirements and added extra button and fm radio.
but the rest would work from a milestone release.. fairly easy to do.

No, Dexter posted that in his XT720 thread. I saw that the other day and was considering mentioning it, but I'm sure Mio and others are doing everything already.
Here's the post Dexter is responding to:
"From my understanding of the situation, Cyanogen is out of the question, for now. Dexter's roms are modifications of the official MOTOROI XT720 2.2 (KR) for our handsets. Due to the bootloader lock placed on the phone by Motorola, we can't compile our own systems based on the android sources.
Anybody correct me if I'm wrong with my situation assessment. "

Though if Dexter feels it's so simple I wish he would elaborate for the benefit of our devs, just in case he knows something they don't.

Android 2.3.5 AOSP Gingerbread

I didn't make this ROM. Credit goes out to the developer.
This rom is mostly AOSP besides the bootscreen and CPUconfig menu
All Google Apps are up to date as of 7/31/2011
No need to get seperate gapps zip

They won't work at all. Droid's bootloader is unlocked, Milestone's isn't. Flashing this would be a big problem for your Milestone.

Thks for the heads up on it.

running this as of yesterday. super fast, running chevyno1 lowv 1.1 kernel. only thing i miss from CM is the CM parts. gonna push it to my /system/app folder and set things up that way.

Honestly, I've tried overclocking this, and its still terribly slow. That's why I'm sticking to CM7 800mhz oc

[WIP][ROM] Eclair (Android 2.1, .32 kernel), need some help ;)

I have picked up an old project I was working on, getting Eclair on our phones.
Now you might think, why Eclair, it is much older than Froyo and we already have Gingerbread!?
The answer is simple, just because we do not have Eclair roms for our phones
Some people here think newer is always better, but that is not always the case
Eclair is already booting, but I have some FC's and launcher does not work correctly. Neither any other things work.
I was trying to get a logcat, but could not connect using adb.
Perhaps someone else can give me a solution for enabling adb?
What did I use to get eclair booting up?
Froyo bootimage
Compiled Eclair using Froyo-libs and kernel.
If you want to take a look at it, here is a pre-pre-alpha where nothing works
It is not the latest, because I'm already solving some problems.

First: Congrats
Second: Provide some logcat,maybe you have same problem as mine in OMFGB (missing resources in apks)
Third: Upload to your gitHub,I'll have a look
BTW: Could you check if you have any /build/core/kernel.mk? Really getting mad with that error on CM6.

Could not get any logcat
But it's solved
Launcher is working now!
Updated build.prop, checked if some files existed, but some were missing.
Guess I forgot something in device-files
Now working on sd-card mounting, gsm and wifi, if these are fixed I will provide an updated zip (this zip contains generic build.prop )

Non-working RIL could be caused from three things:
You missed LG services into makefiles/.rc files (if you want I can PM you some strings to add to .rc files)
Wrong libs (easy to check)
Non-prelinked libraries (define TARGET_PRELINKER_MAP (or some like that) into device_thunderg.mk and modify prelink-linux-arm-msm7xx7 or some like that with names of unlinked libs. You can see what stuff isn't prelinked with a debugging-enabled linker you can find into Swift-sense Mur4iK GT540 post. For prelink address,use google because I don't know

Would this have any actual speed benefit?

You will absolutely encounter speed differences with Gingerbread.
You will even have more space available, romsize is rather small

yes performance will be 2x(low) xD

If you can't contribute anything usefull, do not react here, I was glad SWEATTAIMI has stopped with it after many warnings and now you start
Anyway, Eclair is more smooth than Gingerbread on our phone (at least this version)

BTW,Did you build kernel together with the system? If so check your kernel.mk into /build/core. I'm getting mad at it.

No, this one is just AOSP with some LG crap
And booting using original LG Froyo kernel for now
Seems most compatible
Perhaps later a custom kernel will be used

Sorry for this off topic, but, good job and good luck ^_^ i hope you can successfully do this i loved the older builds of android an would love to go back to it, i wish i could help in some way and this is the best i can do :3 but good luck

The one posted here just boots to UI but launcher etc FC. (that is why it is called pre alpha)
Got one with working launcher now, but spent some time on OMFGB with Bytecode and CM9.
As soon as all is working I will release a beta.

MIUI, what happened?

So, I have done plenty of research and come across dead links and scary ads. And I have been flashing and flashing.. with no success. First, let me explain why i'm even typing this... because Miui, in my 2 day experience with it has been the cleanest rom ever, and i love it BUT......
I started with miui.com but since the Miui Devs haven't made a stable release for HTC Evo Shift they don't have a rom available to download there. Then i went to miui.us which was filled with roms! the only versions of Miui for HTC Evo Shift available are 2.3.23 and 2.3.30 and this would seem okay but unfortunately neither of those versions work correctly. And they don't contain just simple bugs. the PHONE app doesn't work unless 3g data is turned off (When trying to receive calls a "com.android.phone has stopped working" message will appear and it will when trying to call as well. after that it resets mobile network). i've been looking everywhere but i can't find a fix that will work.
I found a fix on a thread that promised to do the trick by replacing "framework.jar" in the /system/framework .zip file for installing. But i tried twice and came across the same problem
I just want a stable version of Miui for my precious HTC Evo Shift. Miui Pyromod ROM fixes the phone problem and it works on daily bases just fine but it still lacks stability. I WANT A PERFECT MIUI PORT FOR SPEEDY.
...and this is when you come in:
Do you guys have any links(more researching), ideas(ways to fix the phone app problem), will to help, or even fix the rom for us:laugh:?!

I have the last MIUI.us release for the shift with the phone app fix applied on my computer, I can try to upload it later for you.
Edit: I found it on my windows partition and starting to upload now, will be a minute though because I am downloading gigs worth of stuff at the same time.

should be 2.3.30 with the fix

I can always use testers gonna finish up on my MotoBlur ICS ROM and try and get back to MIUI V4. Or v5 whichever I can get working. We need a 4.0+ MIUI ROM... the EVO has like ten of them. We have one that was a WIP.

I'm so lonely!
has anyone experienced roms that will not send texts if they're over 160 characters? i know miui turns them directly into mms and it doesn't cause any problems. and i remember a rom gave me an option to "split sms" and it fixed it, but i dunno!

Well, if you want a solution for any rom, you can use GoSMS and in settings just check the "split messages" box
I think there was also a zip that you could flash to fix this somewhere...but it mightve been for certain android versions only
