Thanks, hey, as a matter of fact, let me try this on my stock 2.1 ROM.

A bit update on my 2.1 stock, when downloading big files over 100MB via browser and saving to SDCard, my phone will eventually be in the 'sleep of death' mode where it sleep and will never turn on again - unless I remove and reinsert the battery of course. Not sure what's causing this.

Update : It was my MicroSD card which been causing this. It's corrupted somehow or rather ...

Another issue is that when I record videos and battery is low, during the end of recording, the phone will hang. Tried this several times when the battery is low (about 15% charge left), and confirmed that is the issue - why? possible cause maybe not enough power to process / save these videos? Snapping pictures works ok. On some devices (especially Samsungs), camera and video function will be denied access when battery is low. I guess this could be the issue unless anyone else have not run into this problem before?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] UnitedOceanic:
hmm now i really want to go back to eclair, cm7 is to big for the milestone :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ekofasc:
Indeed, Telus Lite 5.2 is the way to go. Very good stability and speed.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
Darn... I've just flashed Telus 5.2 last Sunday and it's TRUE that this is the fastest ROM available for the Milestone!

I just can't believe the speed that I'm getting. I feel that I can outbeat a Tegra even! Hahahaha..

The phone (compared to stock 2.1) is also cooler when tethering. I used to get up around 46c - 57c, with the Telus I'm getting like 34c - 47c with wifi tether on.

In terms of battery life. After 13hrs 10minutes, my battery went down from 100% to 50%. Edge was turned on all the time. 15minutes of Wifi tether with HSDPA on. 30minutes of fb and websurfing. 15 minutes on Papago GPS. Some SMS and whatsapp plus yahoo messenger runnin all the time as services. Not bad.

Highly recommended for Eclair users!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] salisbury_steak:
AFAIK though, nobody has been able to get app2ext working in Telus Lite. :(

People have gotten app2ext work with stock eclair though. (1 of these days, I plan to go back to rooted, OC'd, GOT sbf eclair. :D I assume that app2ext will work as GOT is heavily based on the stock eclair sbf.)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] justanordinarydude:
GOT Eclair is Stock Eclair, it is a Leak of the official Firmaware. only change is the vulnerable recovery afaik.

rest of GOT specific modifications are applied through OR! was one of the best Eclair FW's i tried (for the first time my alarm and geolocation service were working ; )

yeah i tried Eclair too again, rly a difference in speed, but some features brought me back to CM6.

imo there are good reasons to go back and stay at eclair, but there are also good reasons to stay on froyo tbh.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
Will work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
Well, I do believe that Flash is possible on Eclair. In fact I've owned a HTC Magic before and I have flash on a custom Eclair ROM.

Now if only someone were able to guide us on this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
Hello friends,

After meddling with the official Froyo update, I have found the reason why the Froyo eats more RAM than Eclair. The reason is JIT. JIT is viable only for memory hungry, CPU intensive apps, and IMHO the gain in speed is not worth the extra RAM it uses. So I disabled JIT and once again was able at times to have even 112MB of RAM free, with ADW launcher locked in memory. The UI sluggishness problem comes from the /system/build.prop file that was not properly tuned by Motorola to begin with.

I've put together a tutorial on how to fine tune the stock Froyo in order to make the Milestone usable. Here it is:

techmobility.blogspot.com/2011/04/motorola-milestone-how-to-make-best-of_27.html

You'll have to paste that in the browser, as I am unable yet to post links.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
You don't need to have 80 or 100mb free ram before running a game.

Android will free up that ram when the game is loaded anyway :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
I know Android doesn't need free RAM in order to launch an app, game or whatever. I was only talking about maximum possible free RAM, because if Android tries to free RAM, but can only free let's say 80MB and the app needs 85MB, the app won't run, but close instead. Disabling JIT increases the maximum amount of RAM that can be freed when launching an app. To give a clear example: I was able to run Gun Bros on Eclair without any problems, but when I installed Froyo I was unable to run it again. After I disabled JIT, I was once again able to run the game hassle free.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
To test how much ram can be freed up, try freememoryrecover.

It kills everything and then kills itself.

Sometimes its fun blowing things up. heh.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] valenzine:
Thank you so much.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ccrows:
As much as I miss the speed of Eclair and the ability to control apps easier, I still rather have Froyo Overclocked since I like my apps (very doable if you store them on a Class 6 Micro SD for the speed) and GPS is waaay more responsive now IMHO on stock Froyo...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
Hey javachris, disabling JIT? I never thought of that before! But why are you sticking with stock ROM? Havn't you try Cyanogenmod yet? Disabling JIT should give you better performance than stock ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
I don't think cyanogenmod is that fast. The best rom now for the milestone I think is froyomod 2.7. I've tried cm7-too slow for gaming (gb on milestone in general). I tried cronos gb-battery drain. I tried iceandfire-best gb rom there is but still to slow for gaming and I tried miui which I found performance wise was just slightly behind iceandfire (dunno about droid since its got an unlocked bootloader so its probably got loads of ultra fast roms that milestone users can't)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
Sweet, so froyomod 2.7 is recommended for gaming. I'll remember that if I ever need to switch back to Froyo. :p

Gaming on Eclair? Telus 5.2! :D an all rounder!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Actually, they don't have ultra fast roms.

I've let droidforums know about the V6 SuperCharger.. they can hardly believe the performance their getting now.. hehe.

HO!NO! CM7 mod comes preconfigured with my Balanced 3 settings...

So it's gotta be fastest GB rom ever built for either Milestone or Droid :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
I've looked at that supercharger. I never really understood what its about (probably cos I read it in a rush) but it seems to be about freeing up ram. On froyomod 2.7 I get 85mb of free ram with the launcher in the memory and straight after quiting shadow guardian I get 100-110mb of free ram. And I think the reason why gb in my experience is so slow on the milestone for gaming is that it is not officially supported. There are no sgx530 devices that are offifically supported by gb and on the milestone you can't use the 2.3 kernel
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
Well, I did think and actually did flash a Cyanogenmod, but each version I tried had it's issues that I just could not live with or fix by myself.

So CM 6.1.2 had a Camcorder issue when the video would freeze for a second once every 20 seconds. I thought that was because of the Stagefright framework they've enabled. So I disabled the Stagefright but the video kept messing up, and since I have a 11 month old son that I love to film everyday, I just had to have a reliable camcorder.

I also went and tried CM 7, but that was so slow and was having some UI drawing issues, I had to revert to FroYo in a matter of hours.

Don't think for a moment that I wouldn't flash a custom ROM that was better than stock, but until I find one with all the functions properly implemented, I'll have to stick with the stock one.

Maybe after Motorola releases the bootloader key we'll be able to have kernels that support swap, and then the whole game will change, we won't need tweaks like the ones I've described.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Thing is gb on android I found always kills my widgets. I've got battstatt and fancy widget but they always get killed despite getting auto memory manager to ignore it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Just install HONO CM7 if you don't understand what SuperCharger does.

Its already set up.

Anything over 30 MB free ram doesn't do anything great.

About swap, check droidforums.net

That have swap and are really loving the supercharger since they still get redraws with swap too.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
Motorola won't release Milestone bootloader keys.

Motorola said that in 2011 they would have NEW phones which you could unlock the bootloader/root/develop as you wish. So far, they did not even kept their word on that, but hey, we have 6 months and 1/2 till end of this year.

Just live with the fact that all we have are all the kernels Motorola released so far and we won't ever get a really decent experience out of our Milestones...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
I wouldn't be so sure they won't release the keys or at least an unlocked bootloader. The main problem with the Milestonr IMHO is the low RAM, and that's the reason we need a new kernel. I have no issues with my Milestone after I tweaked it(a lot I migh say), but still a smoother experience would be welcomed.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Ram is the only issue. The screen is great. I love tbhe keyboard. The processor is fast at 1.1ghZ normal voltage and doesn't get hotter than a htc desire. The semiconductor is 45nm but that's not too important
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
I'm pretty sure that there won't be an unlocked bootloader or anything else related to the Milestone released by Motorola. They were crystal clear in their Owners Forum about that, that the phrase about unlocked bootloader in 2011 was about specific new phone(s) to be released as unlocked. They can't and won't unlock the bootloader because they have sold this thing to many telcos worldwide as locked and to unlock it, it would require an approval of each one of those telcos as it is not possible to release a solution for one specific carrier that will not unlock the phones of all other carriers.

Beyond that, Motorola representatives were crystal clear about bugs in Froyo: if you have problems, two options are available, buy a new phone or take it to a repair center where they will flash Eclair back to you. There won't be any fixes for froyo (really) or any further Milestone development.

As much as I would like to see Milestone bootloader unlocked and/or a decent kernel made by anyone (even Motorola), all evidences and even official responses from guys like Mark (a motorola representative that help in their official owner's forum) lead me to believe that Motorola won't touch the Milestone even with a 10 foot pole.

Just showing the facts:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/49071?tstart=0

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/327923

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/341797

So, I'll keep saying, don't wait for an unlocked bootloader for any current Motorola Phone that already have a locked bootloader. Motorola is telling you that, guys that "take the fire" on the frontlines talking with owners are telling you that new options might apear, but don't expect anything on the current phones and that no one ever talked about unlocking the current phones bootloaders...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
I think the reason why moto locked the bootloaders is because they don't want people to think their phones are flawed. As you all know moto is running out of money and if they released the ms with an unlocked bootloader and people started overclocking and then it overheats then the phone will seem pathetic and people won't buy it in the uk and tbh moto phones aren't the best seller in the uk. Of all the people I know only one of them has had a motorola since the razr. I think the reason why the droid is unlocked because in america the laws on sales aren't strict and moto generally gets more sales in the us.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
Droid is unlockable for the exact same reason Xoom/G1/G2/Nexus/Nexus S are.... It is a device designed FOR Google and Google is the responsible for making and creating updates for it, and it is a requirement from Google that devices made for them have their bootloader unlocked.

P.s.: there is one guy that works for Google that said that as far as Xoom is concerned, only Verizon versions of it are supposed to be updated by Google, all the other versions should be updated by Motorola.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dcandal:
sounds really good from your posts, i'd like to give it a try.

where can i DL the ecclair rom you're using?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Eclair is 2.1 and you will be able to get it through the system update on your phone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
dcandal, I've just updated the first post. Link to Telus 5.2 is there. Happy flashing! :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
Well, I've installed Telus Lite 5.2 on my Milestone and I have to say that I never enjoyed it this much. I can really multitask right now. And now that I have Apps2SD working it's a bliss. I only moved /data/app and /data/app-private to the ext2 partition, because I want the /data/dalvik-cache to be fast, you know, the faster the cache is, the faster the apps will load. The only reason I ever installed Froyo was to have Apps2sd working.

I have to say though Eclair has some weird FPS cap that Froyo doesn't so sometimes scrolling through a list or something is not as smooth as it was on Froyo, but apps start timing are 3-4 times faster than on Froyo. Most apps open up instantly.

IMHO, Eclair is still the main option for the Milestone, unless you really need Flash in the browser.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
javachris - Welcome new 'Commander' of Milestone! I bet you're tired of being the 'waiting type' right? ;)

Well I'm still hunting to see if I could find any sources that could get Flash working on 2.1. I had a HTC Magic before running Smoki ROM, it's 2.1 but for some reason Flash is working on browser! So why not with Milestone?

Update, I just tried a 2.3 ROM, quite fast.. but it only lasted for a day before I nandroid restore back to Telus :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] javachris:
Well, I've sticked with the tuned up Froyo for a while, but the speed of the Telus Lite it's just something that no one can ignore. Speed is one thing, but the amount of free RAM compared to the Froyo is more that I could have wished for.

I think there may be ways to get the flash working, but we have to admit that the Eclair browser is somewhat slower than the Froyo browser so enhancing it with flash may lead to some more slowness. I think that as far as browsers are concerned, Opera Mini 6 is the perfect replacement for the stock browser.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] neato4u:
javachris - I'm also using Opera 6.0.24556 Mini and loving it.

Thanks, but I went there, and nothing came up, just a blank black screen.

I was really just trying to see if anyone had actually tried it yet. I didn't see anything in the developers thread either.
[Nook Color General] findmike:
You'll want to use something other than IE to view the changelog site (and the internet in general). Chrome works fine.

CM7 has a pretty wide audience so more often than not the dailies are not going to do much for the NookColor specifically. Most the time if there's a NC specific feature bump there will be a bunch of new threads pretty quickly.

My first question here guys so go easy :D

I've flashed the Oxygen Gingerbread ROM to my Desire and as near perfect to what I want as it is I've got a couple of questions and you lot seem like a helpful bunch!

First of all, can I remove the 02 boot animation screen I get before my replacement boot animation launches? Not a big issue really, but I'd prefer it not to be there.

Secondly, is there a way to remove the GMail app, I prefer the generic Email app and don't see the point in having both.

I have searched around on Google and on here, however if this has been asked and answered else where please let me know where and I'll have a read.

Also, if any further details are needed please tell me which so I can provide them - still learning so don't know what else could be required.

Cheers in advance.

I am wanting to put cyanogenmod on it because ive seen/heard the many features that it has to offer. Upon reading all this I am coming confused and need to know is there a "Stable and working" cyanogenmod for the samsung mesmerize? and how to put it on the phone if there is. Please and thank you

MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.
