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.
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.
- 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)
Themes for previous versions are incompatible and must be updated.

Experimental Releases:
CM 6.3.7 Post #1224
CM 6.3.6.2 Post #1143
CM 6.3.6.1 Post #1104
CM 6.3.5.3 Post #1035CM 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:
Changes since CM 6.1.2
- FM Radio doesn't work
- Gallery button doesn't work
- Camcorder doesn't work well
- Screenshot in power menu always produces a black image
- 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.

Themes:
- sileshn's themes for milaq's CM 6.3.2 are reported to work in RC2 with the caveat that the reboot to bootloader menu option disappears from the power menu. None of the changes in RC3 should change that. I don't think I've seen reports either way about sileshn's themes for XT720 CM 6.1.2 yet.
- 3rdstring's DarkFroyo Remix for 6.3 (thanks ashish7350)

CM 6.1.2 Notable issues:
CM 6.1.2 Instructions:
- Do not select 1% battery increments (see post #7) (became a placebo button in 6.3.0-RC2)
- The default keyboard has very, very small keys. You can select the Korean keyboard or download another. (fixed in 6.3.0-RC2, thanks peshovik!)
- FM Radio does not exist and will not work.
- Video recording not extensively tested -- but, hey, it doesn't crash the phone immediately anymore.
- Gallery button does nothing
- Haptic feedback is not pleasant when enabled (first attempt at using linear vibrator in 6.3.0-RC2)
- RomManager is dangerous on XT720 (not included in 6.3.0-RC1,2)
- Reboot recovery goes to motorola's recovery (fixed in 6.3.0-RC1)
