This will not change anything on your phone that would prevent you from ever flashing a new rom or nandroiding back to a working one. Everything this update will do can completely be erased with a wipe or nandroid. Also flashing any rom, clean install or not, will preplace the boot.img this update.zip puts on your phone. So dont blame these downloads for your simple user errors of not being able to flash a new rom or nandroiding.
This is an overclocked kernel from toastcfh godmode .29 source. The kernel was actually pulled from Fresh Toast
This works on DamageControl and roms based off of his, it will not effect any of DC mods, including the Dconig app.
UPDATE
6/6/10- This should be working on the newest damagecontrol 2.09. Please report (if overclocking has worked in the past for you) if you have a problem on the newest release.

I made an attempt to get compcache to work, so it might or it might not. Someone with more experience might want to double check it.
Both include setcpu.txt for Setcpu OC app.. Select "custom" at the very bottom for device. Do not select hero. Or you can select "Auto Detect" at the top, this does not need the setcpu.txt.
*View attachment damage710v2.zip* THIS IS A TEST KERNEL FOR THE NEWEST DAMAGECONTROL 2.09.. It is the exact same as damage710 but with a newer ramdisk, this is in hope of fixing any problems anyone is having with 2.09 and OC kernel. There might not even be a difference in the new ramdisk between the old one. I didnt have time to check. Sooo ya.
*View attachment damage537.zip* 537mhz is the default.. scalable to 768 if you use an OC'ing app
*View attachment damage768.zip* 768mhz default clock speed -read below
*View attachment damage710.zip* 710mhz default clock speed -read below
Both can be scaled from 19.2 to 768mhz..
DAMAGE710--The damage710 will default 710mhz, you must use an OC app to scale it to 768. Use damage710 if your phone can not boot the 768mhz. And dont scale any higher then 710mhz or your phone might reboot.
DAMAGE768--If your phone can boot the 768mhz then either download will work. But if you dont want to use an OC'ing app then the damage768 will scale to 768mhz.
This IS a flashable update.zip.. This will only replace your boot.img of your phone. So it is not a full rom. This is applied on top of your rom.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING.
You Do Not Need A Partition On Your Sdcard For Overclocking
THIS IS A MUST FOR SWAP/compcache
To get swap working, you must have an ext partition on your sdcard. This will format you sdcard erasing everything, so do the following. Back up everything from your sdcard to your computer(exp- In a folder on your desktop named Sdcard). In recovery, select partition sdcard, use all default values, 32mb swap, 512mb ext partition, the rest fat32. Then when its finished change ext2 to ext3. Then reboot the phone. And then move all the files you backed up to the computer back to your sdcard.
If thanking me for putting this together. You should also give an even bigger thanks to Toastcfh for this kernel.
Thanks also goes to flipzmode, cuz i pulled the kernel from his boot.img in fresh toast.
Also darchstar for the defaulting clock speed tip.
So does this mean we can get the real AOSP dialer on Damaged's ROM?

No.. this just adds overclocking and the few extra things that come along with it in the kernel. Has nothing to do with AOSP.
you rock

Excuse my ignorance on this topic.
But with Darchdroid, the issue was porting the Eris .29 Kernal to get a full hardware working AOSP Rom (I think) , so what is the difference?
My apologizes for taking up the space with my questions. Just a noob trying to get his facts straight.
If anyone wants to know how to do this, follow this guide starting at Step 8.
Essentially just extract the kernel you want from the right boot.img, extract the ramdisk from the other boot.img, then use mkbootfs and makebootimg to put them back together.
PM me if you need help.

I dont mind, ask anything here. Its how we learn
But that was the issue with all 2.1 roms. Toastchf cracked the code (in a way, not literally). And was able to give us a working source for .29 kernel. That kernel can then be used to work on any cdma hero 2.1 rom. But there are different things you have to do to get it to work on Darchdroid AOSP rom, he has already done that and its in his newest release. This one I posted above is just to work with damagecontrol roms or ones based off of it.
To get the AOSP dialer working you would have to have a rom based on AOSP, which darchdroid is the only rom so far. All the other roms are based on htc framework or just something different then AOSP. But im pretty sure theres AOSP dialers for damagecontrol. Go check the apps and themes section.
EDIT: the dialers are also completely separate from the kernel. Its based on what the rom is.

If you downloaded the compcache one, can you go into terminal and type
adb shell

Tell me if it says "swap" in what comes up and that it doesnt have all 0's.
ive been running the 2.07.2.3333 with jit enabled for weeks now flawlessly..... will flashing this zip cause the jit to stop working... or will they work in unison like i want? if its a one or the other deal ill just keep jit... thanks for your help
I think I may be confused as to what exactly the kernel's role/job is, as well as to what the drivers role/function are.
a kernel is what tells the hardware how to interact with the software, and drivers are what tell the software how to interact with the hardware? Correct?
So, why would it take a different kernel to run a full AOSP ROM? Why not just write new drivers for the difference of hardware?
On another topic. The framework would be comparable to what CounterStike is to Half-Life. It still uses the underling software, but is modified and branded in its own way as to give such a "proprietary" feel?
I am so confused. (Google here I come)

It doesnt effect jit at all. It only adds a few files and changes your boot.img.

JIT is controlled by other variables, namely build.prop and the dalvikvm.so library; it won't hinder those settings at all.

Haha well you are right sorta on what the kernel does, but all cdma htc heros use the same kernels but it depends on what android version you are using. 1.5 uses .27 kernel, and 2.1 can use a edited .27 kernel but something things wont work, like camera. What toast did was made his own .29 kernel based on other sources and what we already have then we use for our 2.1 roms. The 2.1 roms that come from sprint use a .29 kernel that work, but we cant edited anything within the kernel until they release the source to the kernel. You must have source to the kernel to be able to change anything with in it. You cant download a rom from xda and take the kernel out and change the files and put them back. You have to already have the files to the kernel, change what you want, make your own kernel and then put it on the rom. Cuz once you compile the kernel its not able to be opened back up.
In a boot.img there are 2 parts, the kernel and a ramdisk. The ramdisk CAN be opened back up and changed. But if its trying to call something within the kernel it has to already be there, since you cant add anything to it. If you start with all the kernel files and compile your own like what toast did, then you can add the special things like overclocking frequencies.
I know I really suck at explaining things. I only know the basics of how it all works.

Unfortunately, no.
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting. You should wipe unless you are already on a Froyo ROM.
Swap:
To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable
$ su
# sdswap.sh disable
Compcache:
If you are using are already using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...
Some questions before putting this on, since I'm always a noob with installing new ROMs...
1) Is this in a stable and smooth stage yet (with everything working properly) or is this still in developmental stages? What is the difference between this and cas_xp's?
2) I'm currently running The Celestial Teapot at 652mhz, will this be noticeably slower considering it doesn't have overclock (does it?). What's the deal in regards to overclocking?
3) I can install this fine (flashing it) over Kalt Kaffe's TCT ROM (replacing it with this one) or do I have to somehow get TCT off first?
Forgive me if my questions are nooby, I always prefer to overask (woohoo new word) in regards to ROMs
Whatever the case, thanks for working on this! Awesome (really) if it works perfectly, but even if not, I like seeing any development with U8100.
Unfortunately, it won't boot on huawei u8110.
I've tried to delete data/fatory reset, but it didn't help.

1)This is @cas_xp's but modded.
2)I haven't tested yet. But the previous version wasn't as laggy. I'm going to try to bring OC in. To reduce lag.
3) You should probably wipe before coming to this ROM . I should probably put a short flashing guide in.

It will take a long time to boot for the first time. It is deodexed.
I left it for 5 minutes to boot. Do I have to wait longer?
OK. I'll try one more time.
edit:
No, rom doesn't boot neither after 10 minutes. It is stuck on my Movistar initial splash screen.

Guys, I just got my XT720 and I'm going to either flash it for Wanted's froYo or keep stock Eclair + Jit and App2SD. From what I read, wanted's lastest ROM seems the best option for me me once I don't use Wi-Fi, but I got some questions that I din't find in the release topic:
1. Does the native App2SD for FroYo works?
2. Flash Player Works?
3. If the native APP2SD doens't works, can I apply this method :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7909401&postcount=52 on this ROM, or if I do this before flash for 2.2 will it keep JIT em App2SD?
4. How do I check wich stock ROM I'm using? I just got the phone, bought it in USA, but I guess it's the Euro version coz MotoNav has only Euro maps.
I guess is it, thanks in advice.

1. yes

3. I know Dexters ROMs will automatically move the user apps to an ext2(3?) partition if it's there. In addition Mioze7Ae patch to 1.3 offers additional configurations as to how this works, I'm not sure about XAVs ROMS in this respect.
I am watching XAVs ROMs & once he fixes the bugs in the 1.3 beta I'll be giving it a try. Kahlpowers also has some nice themed variations, you can check out his builds in his post in the theme section (you'll want to look towards the end of the thread as the themes at the beginning are based on 2.1 eclair).

Thank you very much, so I'll just flash Dexter's or Xav's ROM. I'll read a bit more about Dexter's lastest release, I was going to try Xav's coz people said it's faster than Dexter's and actually the only bugs reported aren't that bad ( at least for me) but Dexter's maybe a better option while Xav's doesn't fix all bugs. Thanks again =)
Guys, I flashed my phone to Dexter's 1.3 ROM, it's working fine, but I have "2" new questions:
1. I want install that Honeycomb Theme from Kahpower http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11986041&postcount=192 how do I install it, same way I did to install Dexter's or gotta flash for stock and redo the whole process?
1.1- I NEED TO create that ext3 partition or is it optional?
1.2- Is this ROM the same as Dexter's 1.3 but with the new theme?
2- What's yours phone avarage temperature? Even with stock ROM I think my XT is a too hot near the camera, it says 41°C Avarage, is it normal?
Thanks in advice!
You download the KPs nandroid file & unzip it then copy the xthoneycomb folder to the /nandroid/openrecovery/ folder on yours sdcard & then just boot into OpenRecovery & nandroid restore just like the installation of Dexters Froyo, no need to flash back to stock & the ext3 patition is optional it will use it if its there but its not necessary. Khalpowers themes throw in a few other tweaks but are generally built off Dexter's Froyo.

Thanks again man, I feel safer now to do it, got this phone there isn't even a day and I'm already flashing it, so I'm a bit scared of doing any mistake and Bricking it..
And a final question, Quadrant and Milestone Overlock show CPU defaut Clock as 550 Mhz, shouldn't it be 720?
Edit:
Just flashed it: OMG this is so beatiful ! The collors match perfectly with XT720's collor (Graffite front/blue rear) ! And the way that the pages/tabs pop in on the screen is so cool ! It's a completly new phone, much better. Now is just install my apps and have fun! =D the only thing that is worrying me is that fact that the phone is very hot, even at 550 Mhz.. dunno if it's the XT720 normal temperature, but I don't think so.
I have the questions regarding the installation of the ROM Dexter,
1. ext3 will need to take before making the change in ROM, or that I can do next?
2. To work App2Sd is necessary to partition the SD?
Thanks for the help
1) you can do that after you flash the Froyo
2) you don't need to if you plan to use Froyo's Apps 2 SD
but you need to if you want to use Link2SD

@ Lezherus
Check here for info about Milestone OC settings (I run 1GHZ @ 60vsel, governed with SetCPU).
@ Tavinsky
It is my understanding that the check for an ext3 partition happens at boot, so you I think you could "add" this feature later & yes you will have to partition your sdcard to take advantage of the apps2ext feature. Note that Froyo native apps2sd which can copy compatible apps to a hidden folder on the FAT32 works without any re-partitioning.

Thanks guys, I'm about to change the ROM, their responses are very helpful.

I know, that wasn't my point.. I mean, thats like my XT's processor orginal clock is 550Mhz, even at 2.1 stock it was 550 Mhz, but isn't the stock 720Mhz? or there are differents types of XT720? And thats totally weird, but at 550Mhz my phone was a firebar ( 41°C at no use and 45 at common use ), I overclocked it to 1000Mhz and it's normal now lol (38°C).
BTW, someone know how to disable the new voice mail notification on status bar? It's stucked there and I can't remove it.. I've already read all my voice mails, tried everything and it still there =(
It should just automatically disappear. Delete everything from VM?

Yes, I've read all my VMs, deleted them all.. and the notification still there.. I've read a bit and some people with the same problem solved it by calling the carrier, coz that notification come from them.. I will try later on..
Wantedrom 1.3 screen rotate/youtube upload
So I've tried all the variation from Dexter's first 2.2 rom and have stopped with the latest Wanted Rom1.3
Two things I'm not liking...
1: my screen will not rotate if I am using the keyboard for a text message and would like the larger button layout.
2: I no longer have the option of uploading a video from my phone directly to Youtube. Youtube downloads were only done using stock2.1 so maybe I missed that this was missing from the roms I've previously tried as well.
anybody have any thoughts?
Wanted 1.3 - no screen autorotate
No rotate for anything.

Of course, it's "on". I even reflashed this ROM again and wiped all cache and set to factoty settings before it. Problem stays the same - no autorotate.
Tried Wanted ROM 1.2 and Dexter 1.3, everything works there. The problem seems to be in this Wanted ROM version.

Autorotate
The screen will rotate for games and applications that require a landscape view instead of portrait but not for anything where it is an option.
I backtracked a little and set my phone to wantedrom 1.2. I didn't even do a factory reset as everyone is always insisting is necessary. Autorotate fixed, all my applications stayed loaded and functional as before.
Overclocked at 1200 MHz , 80vsel and the phone is screaming fast.
After I typed this, I checked the wanted forum and found his solution to the sensor issue...

Hi,
I have openrecovery installed on my XT720 but I want to know how I can install AOR.
Does I have simply to change openrecovery zip by AOR one or does I have to do another think ?
Thank you
unzip the openrecovery 3_3 thing. there will be 2 things inside: an update.zip and a openrecovery folder. copy both into the root of your sd card. then you computer will ask you whether you want to replace the openrecovery folder already on ur sd card, and you should click yes. once both are on, you are done. AOR is full of features, haha. i just learnt this a few days ago.

Thank you, I will try.
EDIT : It works good, I made a mistake, I deleted openrecovery.zip from sdcard, this file must stay or openrecovery fail and there is to pull battery to reboot.
Do you know where to find script to check sdcard error ?
its somewhere in AOR. just look around the AOR utilities thing. you should use zipalign. my phone feels slightly smoother. adblock works for most apps i think, except for angry birds and a few others. prevents these ads from loading up. they clutter the screen. you can also adjust the heap size in AOR. im using 40mb. heavy apps run more smoothly, but if u launch an app within an app, the original app might get killed because 40mb might not be enough to run 2 apps. but its ok for me. i dont usually do a lot of multi tasking.

I will try but for ads, I use droidwall, it's a firewall so, you can block 3g and wifi for each app.

Go to Menu Utilities and it is options 4 and 5. Scan disk and Scan sd-ext. I use both b/c if your partition is corrupted, it will show and try to fix it. I actually do this both before and after I flash a new ROM just to make sure it will "accept" the new ROM and also to make sure it has "accepted" it and that part is working correctly before I ever get into the new ROM.
Fix permissions works well too, btw. Also be careful messing with the VM heap size b/c most of our ROMs already have this paramenter set. It is usually on the front page of the ROMs description like on Kahl's V4 ROM for example. And one final, don't mess with the basebands, it will F%^& your phone up.
Sorry, this is the final thought. Make sure you are aware that the modding menus are based on Kernals, so most of the Froyo things, although we are on a hacked Froyo, probably won't work and may screw something up. The Eclair menu has JIT and Memhack, we already have those. They (modding menus) are mostly if you are running stock 2.1 or stock 2.2 (which no one is running stock 2.2 at this point).

Hey all, buying an XT720 today.
Looking to get it up from 2.1
What is the most stable update at the moment?
I have done CM 6.1 on a HTC Dream, was pretty happy with it.. would like to get up to 2.3 on this..
Suggestions? I am using Wind Mobile in Canada for this phone if it makes a difference.
James
Hi
Their are choices cm6 is very stable
I would try flfalcon cm7.
Their are J.Y.Daddy cm7 these were made for the motorio to use these you would need to apply bootfix.
J.Y.Daddy even ported miui ics 4.01.
You need check out the development page.

I also have a list of most of the ROMs and their +/-'s. Ill find the link and post it. I'm mobile now so can't find it that way.
Im on wind also and i truthfully find bravo the best.... everything is really stable and HD cam and whatnot works
Here is a somewhat dated list but a list nonetheless and here is the thread it came from.

There are a host or ROMs for this phone right now and it is quite hard to narrow down to "The Best". Each as their own +/-'s and while one might be a monster in speed, it might have poor muti-tasking or bad camera. Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.

Where is this Bravo??
Also I have rooted..
but I have not found a good guide on Openrecovery. (EDIT) got this done, went through ADB shell.
I unzip the the openrecovery to the sd card.. gives me openrecovery.zip a directory and an images directory.
SO then to flash a new rom I just put the .zip file in the updates directory.. and bingo bongo?
Going to try Cyanogenmod 7.1 first.. not sure where to find the brovo? bravo? mentioned.

All ROMs and Mods are in the Dev thread.
I vote for CM6 RC3 / RC4
it's by far the most stable & fast which allows you to run most resources intensive games

Nandroid and battery
I just bought an XT720 (Rooted and unlocked)
Is there any way to change the battery level increments from 10% to something more exact like 5% and how do we create a Nandroid back up?
I also want to install bravo2.2 do I need to do a factory reset before installing this rom?
I am running stock rom 2.1
Well if its Rooted, then you should have Open Recovery on it.
When you boot the phone hold VOL up and it will boot in OR...
or when you power off.. it should give you the option to reboot into RECOVERY.
There are lots of threads on here about OR .. but if you follow the menus you should be fine.. on an XT720 you push the camera button (big one) to accept a selection in the OR menu.
You can back up - which will save EVERYTHING.. a Nandroid backup is the best thing to store away somewhere should you mess up your phone.
YES you will have to loose everything when switching from 2.1 to (anything else)
If you are just updating to a newer build of something you put on.. then no.
You do the RESET and clear caches etc.. in OR.
Do a search its all on here .. usually the first page of whatever rom you want to TRY.
Have fun.
James
Thanks for the reply, time to install some rom's
Hilarious...after wading thru a few hundred pages of replies on this phone and the various roms, I completely missed your thread here James which is about as close to what I'm trying to accomplish as imaginable..
I posted some of my saga over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399242
Do you mind me asking James/BikerBob...how did you make out? Anything I should know (if you have a sec read my long winded post lol!)
Did you have 3G/Wifi switching issues with stock, or maybe you didn't bother testing that / noticed it..before rooting I mean..
thnks!
(don't know if mods merge threads in this forum but mine is probably a candidate! sorry!)

No, kernal(maybe driver) can't support 5% or 1% percentage battery level.
OK, so I decided that changing the SD card to a class 10 might help app usage ..
I copied the old sd card to the new one.. and if I try and get into OR .. I get the exclimation mark in triangle instead of the OR logo.
What do I need to do to get back into OR? do I need to RE-Root?
James
If you don't have it already, grab Mioze's modded OR for the xt720 & follow the instructions. If that's all you did was to switch sdcards there should be no need to redo everything.
Sorry, never mind the OR issue, my bad.
I have played with this too much.. lol.. get things mixed up..
I had the OpenRecovery.zip from one version mixed with the directory of the other..
Jezz
OR runs from the files on the sdcard (the openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip) if something is corrupted (or missing) you wont be able to boot into OR.
