Has anyone looked into why that stupid gingerbread cursor positioning widget is so minuscule compared to CM7? It's now my enemy #1. Just wondering if someone's started looking into that already.

I can create a custom stock theme for you that backports CM7's cursor image? Or maybe you can update the tree's cursor image to that of CM7 :)

After making a clean factory reset , and with some "tweak" , now my free ram used to get over 100 mb !! This is really unexpected . What I do is using ram manager pro and set at hard gaming , then for every boot , after using advance task killer to kill running apps and service , I open camera apps , switch to camcorder , and then just exit . Again , I used task killer to kill those running apps , surprisingly , my ram is now about 110 mb .

What if I remove those included system apps such as gmail and email ? Will doing this release more ram and is it safe (not causing bootloop) ?

i dont think it will free more ram. it just frees up space on the system partition. i like to use root uninstall to remove certain system apps such as voice dialer and email cos i dont use them, and i feel its a waste of space in the app drawer.

Instead of killing all the running apps at every boot, my suggestion is to use Autostarts, it allows you to manage (and hence, remove) all the scheduled autostarts, so that you don't have to kill everything every time.

PS Gmail and Email are not critical apps, you can remove them safely. In this way you will probably see a slight increase in your RAM, but if you use Autostarts and remove the autostarts related to those apps you will see the same effect without uninstalling anything.

Byeeeee

3G mobile hotspot problem

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with 3G mobile hotspot..."Impossible to set a data connection", but i'm sure the apn is right, because the browser works! Any idea to fix the problem? Because it's really fundamental to have that feature for me...thankssss

Solved by installing wifi tether for root users. However, I noticed that this app, despite being much faster than 3g mobile hotspot, also consumes much more data. Is this just an impression or it is real?

I just tested face detect and it seemed to work for me.... on a human face. I had to enable face detection in the camera preferences. I don't know if it can detect insect heads on closeup.

That sounds strange to me, but I don't have much experience with tethering. I could speculate, but I'm not sure that's helpful... Of course, measurement is the way to tell if the difference is real.

Hey MZ, do you think this fix from fjfalcon for the CM7 tree would work in the CM6 tree?

https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720...mmit/e85689ccd2209c5153964b6682a42fec5b6630b9

Seems as though it was working before, but some code got merged from the main branch?

I haven't been paying much attention to the tethering, because I don't have a tethering plan and CBW has sent me a warning SMS about fees when I have experimented with it in the past. In general, I think the things fjfalcon's been working on for tethering in CM7 are low-level enough that they should also work here. Patches are welcome--it's not something I'm pursuing at the moment.

Milestone Overclock

I just noticed that Milestone Overclock fails to load the module at reboot...is this a known issue? any idea how to fix it?

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

I think hotspot isn't working, is that true? anyidea how to fix it?

Remove "3g hotspot" and install "wireless tether for root users" ;)

Milestone overclock is working perfectly here. I've also been getting PMs about this, though. One thing I'm a little confused about, though is why people are trying to load and unload the module? Can someone explain why you're unloading the module? It's builtin to the ROM and automatically loaded by /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc... you should see module version as "1.4.8-xt720" without doing anything... can someone post dmesg? I'm using the latest Milestone Overclock from the market. I'm really confused.

    Here is the beginnings of a port of milaq+nadlabak's CM6 for Milestone A853 to the Milestone XT720. This port came primarily out of these two threads: 1, 2

    The ROM here is based on combining say's CM6 port for Motoroi with an initial source build I've been working on with help from stlifey. It's based on milaq's 0.10 release with manual bugfixes. It is usable but has some quirks and rough edges.

    The next step is to incorporate those manual fixes into my build tree, figure out how to fork the git repositories in my local repo, and upload a working build tree to github.

    Recommended: CM 6.3.7 See post #1224
    I need to update and rework this entire post, but I haven't had time yet.
    • initial backport of CM7 lockscreens (namelessjedi)
    • power menu screenshots work
    • stock Motorola Camera/Camcorder (brianlili, peshovec)
    • 720p video recording (brianlili)
    • improved xt720mod.sbf support
    • updated gapps package
    • odex and deodex versions provided (odex recommended for users)
    The install procedure is similar to CM 6.3.0-RC3 but use the files from post #1224 and follow the additional instructions there to apply the 720p recording fix.
    Themes for previous versions are incompatible and must be updated.
    See molohov's theme thread for compatible themes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24435398

    CM 6.3.0-RC3 Fixes camera/camcorder crashes that appeared in RC2

    Because of the camera and camcorder problems with RC2, I've now rebuilt using Motorola's media libraries again. I think this restores camera. Camcorder also works now with a higher quality than before. We need to get to get a media_profiles.xml that works better for our phone. In RC3, I just took the one from milaq's A853.

    Known issues in CM 6.3.0-RC3:
    • FM Radio doesn't work
    • Gallery button doesn't work
    • Camcorder doesn't work well
    • Screenshot in power menu always produces a black image
    Changes since CM 6.1.2
    • Android Keyboard is fixed (Thanks peshovec)
    • Torch/power-widget uses autofocus led
    • Linear vibration for haptic feedback vibrations <150ms
    • Selecting 1% battery increments is harmless (but doesn't work)
    • Wi-Fi fixes (now works for the AP I was having trouble with)
    • Korean IME removed (can provide as update if needed)
    • USB menu has been updated with new translations and resource fixes (Usb.apk)
    • Reboot recovery from the power menu works.
    • Hold volume-down during boot to enter fastboot
    • Bug fixes to app2ext and link2sd support
    • app2ext is nolonger automatic (you must create /sd-ext/app directory).
    • Link2SD support (you must create /sd-ext/link2sd directory)
    • ext4 supported for /sd-ext.*
    • You can read more about the other changes between 0.10 and 6.3.0 on milaq's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155454 and in the github. Some A853 features (esp. ones that use kernel modules) are not included yet.

    *Note about ext4 support: the huge_file option is *not* supported but is default for mkfs.ext4. Nadlabak explained how to disable huge_file on existing ext4 filesystems. Alternately just create ext2/3 partitions and use OpenRecovery-XT720 SD Card Utilities to upgrade the ext2 partition to ext4. Warning: the other OpenRecovery/Androidiani's don't understand ext4 on XT720 (thanks fjfalcon for adding ext4 support to OR for XT720). Also be aware that not many XT720 ROMs understand ext4 yet--hellmongers XDAspecial RC2 *does*.

    For more information about changes see See post #605 and the github source.

    6.3.0 RC2

    Here is the second release candidate for CM 6.3.0. There are a lot of changes and cleanups from the 6.1.2 release and this one can be built entirely from the github code.

    Known issues in CM 6.3.0-RC2:
    • Camera/Camcorder seems to be broken and crashes the phone again
    • Wrong Torch app was built (fixed in hotfix1, attached below)
    • FM Radio doesn't work
    • Gallery button doesn't work
    New features included in CM 6.3.0-RC2:
    • Torch/power-widget uses autofocus led (hotfix1)
    • First attempt at using linear vibration for haptic feedback
    • Android Keyboard is fixed (Thanks peshovik)
    • Selecting 1% battery increments is harmless (but doesn't work)
    • USB menu has been updated with new translations and resource fixes (Usb.apk)
    • OMX (multimedia) libraries are now compiled from source
    • Wi-Fi fixes (now works for the AP I was having trouble with)
    • Holding volume-down during boot will enter fastboot
    • Bug fixes to app2ext and link2sd support
    New features included in CM 6.3.0-RC1:
    • Reboot recovery from the power menu works.
    • app2ext is nolonger automatic (you must create /sd-ext/app directory).
    • Link2SD support (you must create /sd-ext/link2sd directory)
    • ext4 module used for ext partitions
    • ext4 supported for /sd-ext. Note: the huge_file option is *not* supported but seems to be commonly enabled by computers/desktops/laptops when formatting the sdcard. I recommend creating an ext2 or ext3 partition and using SD Card Utilities in OpenRecovery-XT720 to upgrade the ext2 partition to ext4. Warning: the other OpenRecovery/Androidiani's don't understand ext4 on XT720

    6.3.7

    9/1/12: Links below have timed out. I reuploaded here: http://d-h.st/users/Mioze7Ae/?fld_id=1671#files

    New build's coming soon (hopefully this weekend). The noticeable changes are: I've fixed the screenshot bug, MotoCamera replaces the AOSP Camera (thanks brianlili for explaining how) (but HD video recording produces garbage), and I've backported some things from CM7 via NameLess Froyo: lockscreens (Rotary Revamped, Lense, Ring) and long press on notification power widgets jumps to appropriate settings. The sensorfix.ko for xt720mod.sbf will also be included. Not working and won't make it this release (no ETA): media button, FM volume control outside FM app, 720p video recording.

    The ROM now comes in two flavors: deodex or odex. I've been releasing odex builds lately because they are more economical about diskspace, but odex ROMs are a bit of a pain for developers to modify so I'm now providing both.

    CM-KANG-6.3.7.0-MilestoneXT720-odex.zip (76mb) (Recommended for end users)
    md5sum: 607EC3483436E925FD57EA3CA09A603B

    CM-KANG-6.3.7.0-MilestoneXT720-deodex.zip (75mb) (useful for some types of dev work)
    md5sum: 4FF51C0F46DF4B57B8D70D62FB923D76

    New gapps package:
    gapps-froyo-hdpi-20120325.zip (25mb)
    md5sum: E3FDB4060FF7A160A99AD66F66ED74BC

    HD video recording fixed (attached patch for both odex and deodex) -- another huge thanks to brianlili!
    patch-cm6370-01.zip

    I'll make a more detailed post early this week. I was able to just apply the 6.3.7 update on top of my 6.3.6, wipe dalvik-cache and reboot without problem.

    New build: 6.3.5.3

    Changes since 6.3.5.1:
    • Build is now ODEXed (reduces size of /cache/dalvik-cache) may or may not break themes -- needs testing
    • Fjfalcon's CM7 media button fix backported
    • Nadlabak's powervr.ini gains 2MB free RAM
    • Torch works again
    • New minimal gapps for CM6 -- includes newest Market 3.4.4
    • Added pacman (CyanogenMod app used to install other gapps from Market -- only shows up after factory reset)
    • Removed some bloat (QuickOffice/PersonalPortal) -- we don't include those in CM7 and it doesn't seem like anyone misses them.
    • Some cleanup in the source tree.
    • Fixes 6.3.5.2 phone connectivity problem
