Hey guys,
i have a wiered problem, since i did my last sbf-flash, apps keep remaining on the fresh system after i do a nandroid-backup.
So this is what i do:
1) sbf a standart 2.1 rom
2) nandroid Dexters 2.2.1
3) i have all apps back in the rom which i had BEFORE the sbf-flash...
How is that even possible?? For my Understanding sbf-flashing means a complete overwriting of all data on the rom...
Also i didn't sign in to my google-account, so that can't be it either...
Anyone got some ideas??
Greets,
**Jürgen**
ext partition on your sdcard?
Jap, but not in use
**edit**
Oh, that seems to be it... everythings back to stock... but why?? I didn't enable a2sd for apps to ext or such...
Sorry, but that was the (!) reason why we wanted so badly Froyo! To be able to do A2SD!
If you have an sd-ext/app folder just rename it to whatever and you should be fine. Or delete it before flashing if this is possible ....
IIRC what was happening here the last year
Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
Nah, i wanted Froyo because of the Jitter. That was a major boost in speed. Apps2SD was never interesting for me, the internal memory was enough for my useage.
Swap-Support wasn't bad, but i figured with V6 and without a2sd or swap, everythings running much more smooth than with.
In Dexter's 2.2.1, app2ext is automatic if you have an extra partition.

Aah, good to know
Another question, is it possible to flash Hellmonger or CM6 directly over Stock 2.1 or do i need a 2.2.1-Version?
In Other words: Is
1) Stock 2.1 (sbf)
2) Dexter 2.1.1 (nandroid)
3) Hellmonger or CM6 (nandroid)
the right order or is there a better way to do it?
No need to flash to Dexter's ROM, 2.1 to Hellmonger's is fine.
i'm here to learn something.thanks

So, I've tried to read through all the forums and follow the instructions but for some reason I just can't get app2sd to work.
I have partitioned my sd card every which way. I used minitool partition wizrd to partition card on windowsxp.
I have tried installing and re-installing and uninstalling but every time I do this regardless of the method, when I reboot android seems force close everything. I mean it won't even boot into the home screen. just Force close over and over and over again.
I have a Telus milestone and I'm currently running Dexter's build of motofrenzy 0.5a with updates. Also seem to get the same problem when trying to install Jit beta.
I have been using latest G.O.T to install.
I like motofrenzy becuase I can use FROYO pre-official release with adobe flash. If anyone can think of a better FROYO rom compatible with milestone including slider keyboard I'm willing to listen. I just want Jit and more importantly app2sd to work.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
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.

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 =(

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

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,
It seems that there are 3 main custom roms out there now? Which is the best from your experiences?
The one from Khalpowers, the WantedROM or the original ROM from Dexter?
I am currently using the one from Khalpowers but I find that it reboots by itself at times.
I have been flashing and reflashing the phone for the past 2 months. It's a hassle to reinstall the apps.
Therefore I would like to see if anyone could share their positive experience with any ROM and I would do a final flash.
never tried Khalpowers so dont' konw about his rom. my experience is both Wanted Rom and Dexter's are good , WantedRom is the fastest (currently) but can't over clock and Dexter's 1.3 is more stable i think,
about the re-installation of the apps problem ..you can use Titanium Backup..it works , or you can try(Open recovery) nandroid backup option..it's just like Ghost apps in PC, i backup my 2.1 original stock in nandroid backup and currently using 2.2,if anything goes wrong,i can just restore from nandroid restore to 2.1 without using RSD lite in PC

Agreed I find Dexter 1.3 with Patch V2 is most stable and I'm using it.
I'm using wanted 1.2a, and I can overclock. Not sure about 1.3, don't want to go to 1.3 because of the hassle of installing everything again. But I can assure you that it's stable and does the trick.
I am using Dexters 1.3 with the bugfix patch and my phone crashes every day at least 2 times..
I've tried em all but the new wanted rom and I find khals newest rom v2 to be awesome so far I haven't found any problems so far but then again I have no music on my phone so Idk about media scan and I dont user the radio. If I were u I'd just try them all and see what's best for you. And try out app saver in the market it works pretty well
Ive used all 3 and so far Khalpowers ROM V2 is the fastest and most stable.
In before, I liked to use wanted 1.2a. Now I like to use Dexter's1.3+PatchV2, this is the best I think as I can get more internal storage and very smooth!
Same to me, Dexter's 1.3 + Mioze7Ae's patch v2. This combination is the most stable at the moment. now patch v3 is already out I'll try later.
If I want to switch from khal's rom to Dexter's 1.3 + Mioze7Ae's patch v3, do I have to restart from scratch, including reflashing a sbf?

try with another PC to make sure it's phone issue or PC issue. it will be easier for you to troubleshoot.
for me, I use Gparted for formatting and partitioning SD cards.
I have been spending many hours, days, and weeks trying to learn as much as possible about modding my android....but I am still a little lost.
Details:
Motorola Motoroi XT720 (I am in Korea)
S/W version: STSKT_N_79.33.50R
Android Version: 2.2.1 (Just upgraded the other day from Motorola's website)
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-omap1
Also, I am rooted.
I am not sure if I am unable to mod mine to the extent that others can (due to mine being the Korean version), or if it just the fact that I am still learning and not completely "Android Savy" yet. But if I could get some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'd hate to say it, cause I can be pretty smart, but if it could be be broken down "Barney Style" for me, that would be great.
I would like to change up the phone to have a much more powerful machine. Without lag, runs faster/smoother (overclock), change the appearance (black status bar, etc), and pretty much anything else possible.
I see some ROMs that say they are for "Dexter's 2.2", etc...would those work for me even though I have the "legit" 2.2 from Motorola?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!
One problem you will encounter is that the Motoroi has a much smaller system partition than what we use on Dexter-derived XT720 ROMs. So I don't think you will be able to copy on Dexter's ROM (or the modified Dexter ROMs). That said, I don't think you need it:
If you haven't already you should see if you can get Open Recovery or Androidiani Recovery (better) installed so that you can backup and restore when things don't work.
For overclocking, try Milestone Overclock from the market. I think it was updated recently to support the Motoroi kernel, but I could be wrong. If it doesn't work, you just need to make an init.d script to load the kernel module with the correct offsets (I can give more details if needed).
For theming, see if Metamorph (in market) works. There's a gingerbread theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955698 that you can try to see if the morphs we're using are compatible.
Other things to try are old school app2sd if you have low internal memory (Motoroi is partitioned for more internal memory than the Dexter ROMs).

I'm not sure Root Manager can help you if you get stuck in a bootloop. The recoveries will let you save bit-perfect images of the phone that can be restored (nandroid).

Ok, you can create boot scripts, but this could be pretty involved and take a lot of time. I don't think Motorola's stock ROMs run /system/etc/init.d directory scripts so it would involve creating a boot hijack. The easiest thing may be to file a bug report so that Milestone Overclock can be updated for the Motoroi 2.2 kernel. This would be the best solution. Run:
cat /proc/kallsyms > /sdcard/kallsyms.txt
and post the kallsyms.txt and your kernel version (i.e. something like 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1, but from your phone) to:

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.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298208

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.

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?

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.

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!)

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
