[GUIDE] Milestone XT720 - Apps2SD and Froyo JIT

[mrmako777]

I reflashed to USA sbf but milestoneoverclock still shows default setting 550Mhz@56Vsel.
Is this problem with application or USA rom is on 550Mhz. I heard it is on 720Mhz..

EDIT
Stuck at M logo (Motorola logo) after doing everything successfully. It's been 1 hour since phone is on M logo.
Where did I go wrong. Everything was successful.

flashed the wrong sbf then. i flashed the us sbf and had no issues whatsoever

I want to know how to check if FAT32 is in bootable because gparted gave no option.
In step 5:
As i run cd/sdcard/apps2sd it given an error cd/sdcard/apps2sd : not found (i have not put any space btw the command)
I have directly extracted tht app2sd folder to my sd


EDIT1: Came to knw i should have kept my phone on portal & tools mode & there is space btw commands but still dont know how to know if fat 32 is flaged bootable

In gparted if you right click on the partition there is an option to manage flags, that where you set the partition as bootable.

HTH

Thanks for the excellent scripts and guide! Makes this so easy for XT720 owners.

I didn't need app2sd, but I used the script to install JIT and busybox. I also rename some of the bloatware from apk to bak and move some of the apps from /data to /system.

If I don't need overclocking and app2sd, would I be able to unroot my phone and get the benefits of JIT?

I need to unroot my phone to get "Good for Enterprise" to work.

Thanks in advance. I couldn't find this after some googling.

Most likely the script and sbf you have are not compatible. I see in Indian ROM /system is available as /dev/block/blahblah7 whereas in most ROMs it is /dev/block/blahblah6. If the script uses 6, then you'll see error similar to above. If you have adb, take "adb shell", and use command "mount" to find corresponding mount points. Also see if sd card is partitioned properly -- if FAT32 partition is mmcblock0p1 and ext2 is mmcblock0p2. If not, edit install.sh accordingly. Then copy apps2sd directory into sdcard and run the script.

Once you have replaced the .so and binaries for JIT, they do not need root permission for day to day activities. So you can unroot and still enjoy JIT. If you used Universal Androot then I guess there is a single click 'unroot' option too (which I have not tried personally) but I hope that works for you.

No one will know how do I feel after successfully applying app2sd and FroYo JIT.
Phone is flying now even at 720Mhz. Lots of free space even after applying app2sd, but Internal memory goes down a bit even after app2sd. Is this normal??

My quandrant score @720Mhz was 749 dancedroid

Initially, even I faced that problem then I changed the software to partition SD card.
I used PARAGON HARD DISK MANAGER to partition my SD card and my device didn't report any error.

Hope [video=youtube;ZjPZztWrB3E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjPZztWrB3E"]this[/video] link helps.

after applying the script with moving cache to sd, i still can see the phone memory dropping on every application install (but consuming lower space than without app2sd), is there anyway to move the applications completely to ext3 partition, i tried app2card and it is useless, never have i succeeded in installation
