Milestone XT720 ROMS

[MyWorld]

Here is two ROMS that come highly recommended, the first being the one that set the pace for all other to follow:
Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1

And the one I'm testing atm:
khalpowers' ROM

The latter has some mayor improvements like SWAP enabled kernel (the reason I'm testing it) and a lot of little tweaks to keep your phone lightning fast.
I have now used it for only a couple of minutes and already I can see a huge improvement speed wise.

The default theme is horendous, but there is a few themes that will work on this kernel, like on page 47.


I'll keep this thread updated should there be any more mayor developments.

Very nice, i had no idea of the fact that this phone was even sold here in SA, are you happy with it?

After the second ROM, yes.

The default stock phone is very limiting with android 2.1 and no "app2sd" option, so you have a useless 8Gb sd card, but the second ROM I mentioned enables swap (very fast response time) and app2ext forcing ALL apps to the SD card freeing up tons of RAM.

The phone itself is a beauty, only the stock ROM that needs to be removed.

khalpowers has released an update on the ROM with a new theme and all patches already applied (or so I assume):

The red theme was a bit much, but this galaxy blue theme is much nicer and user friendly.

It has been a while since I updated this thread, and a lot has changed. This phone is now considered old by many but thankfully it is still huge in Korea which keeps it alive and kicking.

Development has certainly picked up on the XT720 front!

Here is another few ROMS to consider:
The one I just finished installing:
CyanogenMod 7.1.0
It is slated as beta still but the updates have been coming in fast and furiously!

Then there is another CyanogenMod 7 ROM:

The other ROMS seems a bit unstable atm, but finally we have Gingerbread on the XT720!

Just remember to flash a stock sbf file (Android 2.1) and then update the ROM. If someone wants to know how to do this then just ask, it is as easy as pie!

This phone is far from dead, it even comes with a ICS ROM!
