hi guys,
some help you be greatly appreciated,. i been using Dexter's ROM since 26Feb2011 with no problems. i did not install any patch. but around early last month, i've noticed that the LED buttons (Menu, Home, Back and Search) are not functioning normally. It's like when i tap one of then, it's like i'm tapping what every is in the bottom row of the screen. If it's the keyboard, then Tapping the Home button, taps the space bar, instead of bringing me to the Home Screen. It seems that the screen has shifted down one row. But tapping at the keyboard keys, produces the correct letter or number or whatever. I hope you guy's get what i mean.

thanks in advance.

I had the same issue. the led buttons wont show and the proximity sensor is not working, i mean if i hold the phone near the ear and speak the display should be off, if i move the phone away from my ear , the screen should come on. It is not working , any solutions??????????

    so here is the new edition with uk kernel, basically pretty much the same as before with correct sensor drivers now.


    Changelog v1.3 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here or mirror

    - xavwanted's libOMX and MediaGallery.apk which seems to fix HD recording and playback
    - Riley600's interactive governor fix
    - callwaiting fix
    - kousik's mount-o typo fix
    - Mioze7Ae move /oc to /system/oc
    - bootanim by helmi666
    - Email.apk replacement

    Changelog v1.2b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here

    - fixes problems with callwaiting functionality.

    Changelog v1.2a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here

    - 720P recording fix
    - re-added old MediaGallery as Camera app requires it.
    - there can be possible hickups with mediascanning (so you know)
    If you do see many FC's its a symptom of not having done factory reset, so this should indicate whether you need to do it or not.


    Changelog v1.2 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
    - fixed mediascanner issue
    - removed old mediagallery (not supported) , now only Gallery3D available.
    - removed VoiceCommands app, cpu intensive and taking much storage.
    Note, due to the bug in mediascanner and decoding and on top ext2sd support, quadrant benchmarks drastically drops when ext2 is enabled, if the sdcard is not a class6 or higher.. but media decoding bug alone caused incorrect reportings, so dont be surprised when you test now.
    Its a full nandroid for new and existing users. if you're using 1.1+ you do not need to WIPE settings, just restore nandroid and reboot, signatures will be recalculated and bootup takes maybe little more, but it works fine.

    Patch update Changelog v1.1b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
    - HDMI added to settings menu, let me know how it works (not tested)
    - different proximity sensor module (tested with z-devicetester seems better)
    - facebook fix still included.
    - Support for loading overclock module at startup.
    - apps2ext partition support , will mount at startup if a 2nd partition is found.
    its not advanced, so you need ext2/ext3 partition for now.
    NOTE: Patches goes into /OpenRecovery/updates and is applied in openrecovery menu "apply update".​


    Changelog v1.1a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid v1.1a link
    - Based on 2.2.1 milestone framework leak
    - Sync facebook is working
    - Lockscreen is new (Blur like)
    - see this link for framework theme's.​

    Changelog v1.1 (Android v2.2 edition) Download v1.1 link
    - fixed: OCR camera function currently FC (crash) (Mobireader.apk added)
    - fixed: Contacts apk will be replaced in next update.
    - fixed: HDMI through media player
    - fixed: /mnt/sdcard mount issue​

    If you want stock korean 2.2 with just english language and working sensors, download this nandroid dump, if you will probably need the 1.1 including recovery.apk to install this the easy way.
    but else follow instructions in my other releases, and put nandroid backup into the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and restore using OpenRecovery.​

    See this post, if you wish to restore a stock rom, or to enable apps2sd filesystem on sdcard
    Install instructions:
    Make sure sdcard is visible, when you get to step 6 of instructions, or it all fails, same with restore..

    A: users with stock 2.1 can proceed to step 1 in instructions.
    B: users with stock SBF korean 2.2 rom , need to flash stock 2.1 and goto step 1
    C: Users with 1.1+ of rom with OpenRecovery , can skip WIPE and factory reset, and a restore of the new nandroid backup included in the download link, and goto step 8 (and skip step 9 for factory reset)

    1. root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip
    2. install OpenRecovery , use included apk.
    3. reboot phone once
    4. copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.
    5. Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.
    6. Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".
    7. Press Boot recovery
    8. restore the backup "stock22xxxx"
    9. wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery
    10. reboot

    Issues reported by users in v1.2a:
    - Radio FM volume cannot change.
    - MediaGallery does not do videoplayback

    Issues reported by users in v1.0:
    - Radio FM volume cannot change.
    - Sync account option for facebook / Twitter is not added in settings when account is configured.
    - Camera language not going to change (its korean app, so not support for other langs)
    - LEDS do work, its sensors that makes them go off/on (no need to report this anymore)

    STATEMENT:
    Please don't keep asking the following question directed to me, public or via PM;
    - Can you include language XXXXXXXX .
    Answer: NO
    - Can you teach me how to do custom roms
    Answer: NO
    - will you include RTL for hebrew
    Answer: NO
    - will you make other roms like cyanogen,htc etc..
    Answer: NO
    for new users unable to write in public forums, i cannot answer all your PM's personally, as that gets to be a quite a few per day and many monthly...i am not a support central for xt720 community..i simply don't have that kind of time available.

    like my samsung spica has indonesian language,when i select it,not all ui change to indonesia language,but news on news and weather widget show news in indonesian language and from indonesian feed,
    for this purpose, its just a matter of using MoreLocale2 from Market, and all apps that has native language support for your country will switch to that language..

    Unified 1.2 bugfix patch

    Maybe xavwanted has even more secrets! I'll take a look.

    xavwanted's MediaGallery.apk works (the one I was using came from 1.1a). I'm attaching the working one.

    I've started collecting all the bugfixes we find into a single patch that can be applied directly to 1.2 (not 1.2a). The idea is that perhaps collecting these in one place could help Dexter decide if he wants to incorporate them in his releases. The source is on:

    https://github.com/Mioze7Ae/XT720-patch

    stock221v12-bugfix-1.zip contains:

    • xavwanted's libOMX and MediaGallery.apk which seems to fix HD recording and playback
    • Riley600's interactive governor fix
    • Dexter's 1.2b callwaiting fix
    • kousik's mount-o typo fix
    • My suggestion to move /oc to /system/oc

    Not included yet: a Milestone Overclock persistence fix. It's easy to get this working if we completely forget about supporting the /sdcard/oc-settings file but then you can't easily set custom frequency and voltage tables.

    My current idea is to parse out the settings from Milestone Overclock's preferences saved in an xml file under /data/data/. Given the risks of getting the values wrong and damaging the phone I've made the parsing extremely strict. The problem is there is no good way to signal a parse error to the user of the layout of the file changes. I'm close to a working version.

    Things that I'm thinking about and/or working on:
    • ext3/ext4 support (previous approach wasn't really working)
    • Link2SD support (not really a bug and Link2SD is changing rapidly)
    • Moving dalvik-cache (not really a bug)

    Why 1.2 and not 1.2a? Because it seems that fixing HD recording on 1.2 is easier than fixing media scan on 1.2a. Also, the consensus seems to be emerging that 1.2 is more stable than 1.2a overall.

    Please let me know if I've forgotten something.

    I know there's a report of a corporate email fix, but I can't test that. Should I include that or wait for independent confirmation?

    Russian language patch.

    From Users to Users.
    We translated Dexter 1.3 to Russian.
    And we think translated well.

    So, here is a patch, that adds russian.
    To enable it you should install morelocale2 or just wipe all data(then build.prop settings will get ru_RU locale)

    Patch

    If someone wants to translate the phone and on his langueage - do not hesitate to contact me with questions in pm.
