It is normal behaviour. If you have custom rom it means you have boot menu and cwm recovery and you don't need droid2 bootstrap, it is only for stock roms.

You can try, but this time don't use droid2 bootstrap on CM.

Hey guys,

CM10 works fine so far. Battery life isnt the best but with Juice Defender a lot better then without. Only thing i detected was that it seems that something is being written to my SD Card. From one day to the other day from 900MB which were free on my 32GB SD Card there were 0bytes free. If i connect my phone via USB to my PC it shows me that 28,2GB are used in filesize from 29,7 GB so 1,5 GB are missing somehow. Which is kinda awkward.

Did anyone else experience this behaviour or knows what couldve caused it? I didnt download anything and even wiping the cache wouldnt help but free only 4 MB.

Kind Regards,

Invi

Hi, can anyone help me? I tryed installing MIUI v3 over CM10 and got a blackscreen after M logo error, after reading for a while I found out the correct way to do it would be to downgrade first and then apply it, so I had to use RDSLite and flash a previous ROM, I manage to download a SBF and tried flashing it through SBF 5.6 but now my phone won't even power up anymore, no response from the power button :( Can anyone help? Or now I have a dead phone?

You have to recharger your battery before flash with RSD lite.

Try another governor, like smartass or boosted with these settings:

smt_min_cpu_load 65
smt_max_cpu_load 95
smt_awake_min_freq 300000
smt_sleep_max_freq 300000
smt_up_min_freq 0
smt_wakeup_freq 600000
smt_ramp_up_step 150000

Also deactivate 3G, WiFi and GPS if not necessary. Reduce screen brightness in the settings menu. Be aware, there must always be 6 sensor steps in the menu to work properly. Use the settings from the excel sheet in the .zip. The internal sensor does not have more sensitivity.

I'm not exactly sure if all of the settings are available in the bootmenu, because I am using boostedASSv2 which has to be installed fully manual. If not, change them in the overclock.conf in \system\bootmenu\config\ abd reboot so that they are implemented into the system.

You can find all these suggestions here:

Ghost in the droid

Hi All,

I am fighting with a ghost in my damn milestone 2 for two weeks, ad I decided to ask your help. Screen started to gone crazy some days after upgrade android to gingerbread. It is mostly run amok when battery is below 60% or it is on a non stock charger.

I tried to downgrade to froyo, but it has failed, managed to brick it. Then I had to flash back gingerbread.

I have no warranty, because this damn thing is one year old, so warranty has expired. What should I do?

update: I think I have found a temporary solution. I had installed CM10 mod for GB and my phone started to work normally but after a screen cleaning my "ghosts" returned. I read many articles about MS2 and humidity, so I baked my phone in the oven at 90 degrees celsius for 40 mins, and a miracle has happened: everything works and ghosts stopped haunting my phone :)

Thx

Hi all.

I just updated my A953 asiaretail to android 2.3 with official UK 2.3.4 rom. Rooted with gingerbreak 1.2, processed with RSD Lite 6.1.4.

Now I have a problem: I can't turn my phone to USB mass storage device anymore when I connected it to my compute. It keeps telling me failed to install driver for MTP USB device. I tried reboot, reflash rom, turn on/off USB debugging/airplane mode, nothing works.

Go to device manager, select mtp usb device,update driver, search manually, pick usb mass storage.

Crazy Touchscreen

Hi.

I've had an annoying problem since I started using the CM10, so I did the ROM update and I thought the problem would end, but it still persists.

Occasionally, the touchscreen starts to click and drag things alone and for no apparent reason, and this can last from 5 minutes to 2 hours, and the only thing I can do is keep it locked at that time.

The only pattern I noticed was that most of the time, he does it when I get some time with him in my pocket.

Someone would have something to help me?

Yet theres no Arabic support in the SBF's(Firmwares) we have im not even sure if arabia has a own SBF including arabic language framework, a hard and long alternative would be to create a own language based on the multi language framework of the SBF's we have (Basic explanation: Add arabic yourself, by translating english to arabic and putting it between the current languages)

Mobile data stopped working - China Mobile

Hello,

I've got a MS2 in China on China Mobile, have had it for the past 3 months and everything worked great, mobile data would switch off when Wifi was available and back on when it was not.

Two days ago (sadly I am unable to retrace what the last thing I installed which may have caused it was) all of a sudden, my mobuile data connection stopped working.

The icon comes up, with a receiving arrow constantly on but no data connection is available (as reported by any data-consuming app).

Any idea on how to debug this? tried resetting it multiple times, no help...

By the way, I've rooted the phone but this was about a month ago so it is not related as far as I can tell.

Thanks...
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
Have u tried a hard reset? Before that check the settings of ur data service to make sure nothing has 'accidently' changed:-)
[Milestone 2 General] or.green:
What's the difference between a hard reset and a power cycle (which I have done severall times)

Verified the settings several times, all looks normal.
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
before anything: make sure the data delivery settings on your phone have not been altered too. also double check to see that things like the DNS and IP addresses and gateway addresses provided by your service provider match the values on your phone.

as opposed to a soft reset, aka power cycle which just restarts the phone (like turning off and on a computer), a hard reset in very crude computer terms is like performing a reformat of your phone. except, you dont need to 'format' anything as per se. what you are doing is you are just restoring the phone to its factory default state. you loose all your software, contacts and texts and all information saved on the phone memory.

since you have rooted your phone, backup all your downloaded programs etc. (u can use titanium backup - available from the market for free) then perform a hard reset. after the hard reset, check to see if you can use ur mobile data connection. most often than not, this should solve your problem :)
[Milestone 2 General] or.green:
Good news, I managed to recall what caused it, I had installed an an blocker called androapn which I later uninstalled but apparently forgot to turn it off so it left things blocked.

I reinstalled it and turned it back on before uninstalling it again which fixed things.

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
alright thats good:) so it was some form of a settings issue that was disrupting data transfer:)
[Milestone 2 General] or.green:
Not sure it was settings. More like a lower level configuration file change to block mobile data...

It was probably pointing all requests to localhost or something similar.

Android Market Facelift & Paid Apps in 99 New Countries

Hi all,

i was reading through some articles this morning, and came across something rather fascinating. the Android Market has undergone a new facelift which is meant to ease discovering and searching for apps. Whats more interesting is for those who needed to root and use market enabler, paid apps might very well be available in your country.

'Developers doing well on the Market have their appearance on the Top Developers section in homepage, too. Successful developers will get a special badge next to their name.

If you are an Android user, you should be familiar with the online version of the Market and appreciate how easy it is to install new apps, without having to go through the app on your phone and do it from there.

The related apps section in the Android Market has been made better too. There are now "apps frequently browsed by people who viewed this app" and "apps that people tend to install alongside this app".

And finally the trending apps section, which lists the apps with the most daily installs.

Also the amount of countries, supporting paid apps has been increased by 99 new ones. This means that those countries will have the full access to the Android Market experience (and most of all, paid apps), without the need to employ hacks and mods.'

i have attached an image of the 99 new countries added to the paid apps support :)

for those from these 99 countries, who have been previously deprived of paid android apps, nows your time to enjoy what the rest of the world is enjoying without needing to root your phone (and going through the agony that you might brick it;) ) :):D:);):p

[Q] Question: Fast Reboot

previously i was understood that killing apps using task killers etc was more detrimental than beneficial to both the CPU and for conserving battery

i did however come across an app on the market called fast reboot. it doesnt need a root, and it doesnt really reboot your phone. what it does instead is it 'kills'/restarts all your running apps and services. so essentially restarting your phone without having to wait for the hassle of booting it up (this is quite instantaneous)

could anybody advice me if this, in principal is the same as task killer apps (being more detrimental than beneficial) or is it actually like performing a soft reset on your phone, which in sense would be pretty useful in the eventuality the phone becomes laggy?

thanks

[Milestone 2 General] Adamyno:
done
[Milestone 2 General] Lean946:
Root using superoneclick (google it).

If you have 2g internet, but no 3g signal (only G or E on the status bar) get BPSW-Switcher1.5.4.apk from here and select your region.

If you have 3g signal (check it by going to settings, about phone, status, mobile network type, it should say UMTS or HSPA) but no internet connection, you will have to manually add your carrier's APNs (google them or contact your carrier's customer service). Add them on settings, wireless, mobile networks (i think, i don't have gingerbread here :p )

Good luck.

Can't access recovery

Hi,

I installed bootmenu v0.8.6 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196590.

After installing it, it seems the scripts in /system/bootmenu/script/ were deleted.

My miui is not booting and I can't access recovery because I get a "/system/bootmenu/recovery.sh not found" error.

I can't enable adb to copy those script files because the adb script is not being found in /system/bootmenu.

Is there any way to get to recovery to reinstall bootmenu or to access adb? My cellphone is almost 2 and a half years old, I don't want to patch it with RSD because I won't be able to restore it to the previous state if I install the newer version.

Hi,

I have a MM2 (A953) with Android 2.3.4 but i'm having problems with connecting to the internet. On my school i can make a connection happen. But at home it doesn't make a conncetion :(

This is what happens: it sees the network, makes connection, disconnects directly and starts the proces over and over again.

Does anyone knows how to solve this issue? Could it have to do something with my (Huawei) router? Other android-devices are working well on it :crying:

ps: I was also looking in some other topics, and read about rooting, flashing, porting, etc. it's still kinda new for me, but i was curious if it is possible to get the Android 4.1.2 from (for example) a Motorola Droid 4 (XT894) working on a Milestone 2? Or is that impossible?

After getting bricked with my phone, i tryed me in flashing and rooting my phone. I couldn't imagine at first, that it could be so easy. Now i tryed all known roms for the stone" cm 10 by tezet,miui,cm 7,9, cm 10.1 by engle mars, and after all i found daniks rom ms2g5. I have kept it now with ms2g5, because performance is the best here. But the tryed JB roms were in look ans feel very good, u only had probs with call and sms receiving and lagginess. Now after writing my experience last month's i have a question for all ms2g5 users. I have a problem with wifi connection, several interruptions after getting connect,only a few seconds or minutes wifi connection than interrupts. A few month ago i found a solution with overwrite a parameter in one wifi conf. script. But i could not find it again. 2. Quest , how did you guys get sio. scheduler on the phone. I only found the boostedassv2.zip. Thanks for any reply. By the way this modifiying and kernel and rom flashing is really interisting and gerd never boring. :):thumbup:
