[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Android version is 2.2.2

Build number is MILS2_U6_2.4.24

As of now I've been unable to root this version.

Edit: You can get root with SuperOneCLick: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682
[Milestone 2 General] handsomeboy1702:
so it's the same as o2de version, isn't it? btw, movistar's build number is 3.23.0. wonder which one is better, hmm
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
The Movistar uses different GSM/WCDMA frequencies. It might not work in European/Asian countries, not to forget that it'll probably doesn't support your locale.

If you check the Milestone 1 SBF's, you'll notice the Argentina SBF's all have a different build number.

Anyhow, you can test it out yourself, nobody's keeping you from it ;)
[Milestone 2 General] waigx:
It's amazing to heard this, but, is this meaning that 2.3 will not coming soon?

And, Is there any highlight in this 2.2.2 UK SBF?

Thank you.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Hate to bring it, but I don't believe Gingerbread is coming to the Milestone 2. I believe this is the update Motorola was talking about.

This version was created on 02/23/2011 and still isn't officially distributed. So... 1+1=2 :)
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
well, i think you people could be more optimistic.

2.3 may still come to us. i think they release 2.2.2 because they have no reason to keep working on it. i think that reason is 2.3.

well, who knows. just be patient. :)

if you ask me what i'm really expecting, that will be a custom rom based on uk rom. (since my sim card doesn't work with Brazil SBF) Meanwhile, Motorola won't give us a de-blured, customized, and tweaked rom.
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
Is this rom a RC or beta version? If it's a RC, I really would like to flash it right away. I already had my rom backed up just now.
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
there isn't even the 2.2 sbf of Asia-pacific region for milestone2...

from the day i bought my phone, to today, there is still NOTHING about the asia retail MS2 sbf...i don't know if they don't care about this region or what:mad:

well, is there anything improved in 2.2.2?:p

what i really concern is the multi touch performance....

it really not good right now...especially playing Gun bros would feel it
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
You could try out uk roms. I brought my mm2 in HK, and since the first day I have been using the UK rom. :)
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
There are few small changes, that I've noticed:

Obviously the keyboard. The Euro and Pound sign both work

The signal strenght is shown correctly (@HSPA it would only show 5 bars when the connection was that strong, otherwise there where only 4, while @2G there where always 5)

(HE-)AAC Tags seem to be read correctly

Data manager can now create a buffer with data intensive tasks; it will execute those when connected to WiFi or something like that

It's possible to see how much data you've used
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
I really hope they can do something to improve the performance.

BTW, this rom is not spotted on Motorola UK website. Link:http://www.motorola.com/Support/GB-EN/Consumer-Support/Mobile-Phones/Milestone_2_with_BLUR

notice the software update on the right.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Ooh, yeah. It feels snappier indeed. But then again, it never was really that slow to me.

And as I said earlier; this ROM hasn't been released officially (yet).
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
That'll be great. Any bugs yet? I'm going to try out this version if there is little bugs.:D

failed to notice that it's not officially released. too excited to learn the outcoming of 2.2.2. :p
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
i am now using argen2stone 1.9

a nice rom :p
[Milestone 2 General] jpbiaggi:
hey w0ndersp00n , i'm using the 2.2.2 from argentina, and it works so fine, i don't lose any data...but u recomend install this, from UK??!...

u know if works in brazil band?

thanks
[Milestone 2 General] Kocolius:
Downloading slowly......
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
No this one doesn't work on the Brazil bands. This one is for the European bands.
[Milestone 2 General] RDUKE7777777:
I'm running Argen2Stone 1.9 with Brazilian SBF. Ist ist possible and useful to flash the newest EU 2.2.2 SBFs?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] chris0202:
ah, the rom has some many languages built in. surprising. :)

booting up faster than 2.2
[Milestone 2 General] handsomeboy1702:
just flashed it. phone's running much faster
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Want to try it out myself. Promises of better performance are sweet.
[Milestone 2 General] RDUKE7777777:
So can I apply it while using ArgenStone 1.9 or is 1.9 and Brazil SBF a must?
[Milestone 2 General] PhoenixTank:
Seconded. Definitely snappier than before, I'm sure removing motoblur and such will help as well.

Edit: Ugh, Wifi bug still exists.
[Milestone 2 General] B.D.B.:
does it still has any of the following bugs:

* sometimes going from a text input to the home screen will keep the virtual screen open in the home screen.

* contact pictures off facebook linked accounts will be duplicated to other contacts for a few second after entering the dialer.

* data manager menu in the settings taking ages to respond

* multi touch limited to 2 concurrent points.

* touch points flips, if point 1 is pressed and held then point 2 is pressed and held. if point 1 is release and pressed again point 1 and 2 will be swapped. it is really an issue in multi touch games that uses virtual analog sticks.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Don't know what you mean...

Haven't tested that, as I didn't have any phone calls as of yet.

Data manager has been revamped. The device is overall snappier.

Nopes, still 2 points. I read somewhere this was hardware related...

It is still there, but somehow this behavior sounds logical to me...? But also not logical...:rolleyes: Anyhow I don't play any games, so you probably should test it yourself.
[Milestone 2 General] ismaily_29:
Where can I start to add the Rom Turkish language
[Milestone 2 General] santiemanuel:
How many users use Turkish language??
[Milestone 2 General] ismaily_29:
not turkish language for milestone 2
[Milestone 2 General] sfc3001:
Hi,

Does 2.2.2 fix the problem that folder name reset after reboot with blur launcher ?
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
UK 2.2.2 sbf is now official released :)

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
[Milestone 2 General] Gun-Food:
Has been fixed. :)
[Milestone 2 General] B.D.B.:
blah, what I meant was:

sometimes going from a text input to the home screen will keep the virtual keyboard open in the home screen.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Where is it officially released? I can't find it on any Motorola site.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Milestone 2 General] Element79:
Lol. Why not flash it and see for yourself what it does?
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
XD maybe my words are misleading, sorry :p

I mean the sbf is now put on that site ;)

The 2.2.2 UK sbf is not there before
[Milestone 2 General] B.D.B.:
when I posted that, it was before I ever flashed anything and I wanted to know if it's worth the risk/hassle. since then I've tried Argen2Stone, so now I know that flashing an SBF is not a big deal.

besides, that virtual keyboard bug is statistical and not reproducible.
[Milestone 2 General] Element79:
I understand. There are many different bugs in the software however sometimes not everyone experiences these in a likewise manner. Best way tot find out sometimes is to try it yourself, is all I meant.
[Milestone 2 General] ismaily_29:
Added the official Motorola site by me

felan did not add

__

Turkish language can add or you have friends who can help?
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
I will give this a try and remove some motoblur stuff and see how it performs.
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
tried to flash but start button was greyed out i think its because im on Brazil SBF at the moment.

No file properties are shown in the right hand window when loading the sbf.
[Milestone 2 General] XiliX:
Sorry, about this link

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2

I have a firmware "Retail.en.DE". No Brand with keyboard QWERTZ.

What is the right sbf to install?
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Any one experienced this and know how to fix it??
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
I also flash the UK 2.2.2 from Argen2Stone 1.9, which is base on Brazil sbf, but i didn't face this problem.:confused:

What version of RSD Lite are you using?

And what Windows version is in your PC?
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Windows 7 x64 and new version of rsd 5.0. I've had no problems flashing before. I flashed bazil and now have argen2stone but now trying to flash back to uk.
[Milestone 2 General] scottyn:
z4root doesnt seem to work with 2.2.2?

how else can i root?
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
um...i have vista x64 and rsd 4.9 and no problem at all:confused:

may be go back to rsd lite 4.9 to have a try?

try superoneclick, i successfully root with v1.6.5 :)
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
I also used the SuperOneClick, and successfully rooted my device ;)
[Milestone 2 General] amintofu:
which one did you flashed? im from singapore too. not sure of the diff in the diff sbf. thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] handsomeboy1702:
I flashed the 2.2.2 uk sbf from OP
[Milestone 2 General] cindylove:
If you install via Update funktion on your phone it will keep your brand.
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Ive tried to flash with both 4.9 and 5.0, it wont let me flash any Uk sbf, but will let me flash the brazillian. DO you think this is because i am currently on brazillian sbf?

It didnt complain when i went from DE to Uk and from Uk to brazil sbf's.
[Milestone 2 General] aaron1389:
I flashed!

it work great!
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Motblur riddance

Managed to get this flashed using moto updater program. I have removed some motoblur things:

hopefully will free up some memory.

Blue highlighted items are frozen for time being,
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
I don't think it relates to the brasilian sbf since I was flashing from Argen2Stone to UK 2.2.2 too. What I have done is only wipe cache in CWM recovery, and directly flash the sbf.

You got a backup of your original rom right? maybe trying to restore it and update via Moto? I think it should be possible to wipe cache and then restore system only, then you won't loss your data right now.

This MAY NOT work, I don't sure, please backup all your data before doing it, using titanium backup and SMS backup whatever to do that :)
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
I always back up my data and I got it working through moto update program cheers for the help.
[Milestone 2 General] aaron1389:
I rooted my Milestone2 & Flashed to Android2.2.2

Anyone know which is the Pre-Installed App i can or should delete it?

Can I delete all MotoBlur Service/App? It kill my battery life....
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Was many many times. Just use the "search" option

[Milestone 2 General] Gogz_:
Installed yesterday from rooted Stock Froyo. I thought it would have come up questioning the warranty due to the root but it never.

Anyway, appears to be a bit snappier, the Music engines must have been improved because the crackling, popping vinyl-esque sounds I used to hear have disappeared. Switching between data on/off also appears to be a bit more reliable. Thank ****.:)

JamboLiam: Where were ye's last night? Now it's helicopter Sunday all over again!
[Milestone 2 General] Cnug726:
Oh thanks guys :)
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Also see my post above with the pictures.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Guys, did you see how the Moto Defy works on the stock 2.2.1? It's faster :confused: The blur home works like a charm as well as the touch screen :confused: Everything seems to work faster...

[YOUTUBE]ZJeM4Gh9To8&feature=player_embedded[/YOUTUBE]
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
it is so nice =0=

what did mm2 offer more for the higher price?:confused:

just the physical keyboard?

defy is cheaper, but faster! and now supported my CM7!...

it is so smooth just because of OC to 1Ghz...mm2 is still lag that it IS officially 1Ghz!! what happen?

is the blur launcher of mm2 improved too after the 2.2.2 upgrade?

I didn't tried it, i stick to LPP and ADW EX...
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Dosent look like any improvment to me tbh!
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Not sure if you mean this, but I'd say my Milestone 2 operates as quickly as that, so I'm not sure what the problem is?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Milestone 2 General] Element79:
Agreed, my MM2 is undoubtedly way more responsive since the update. Í'm actually quite pleased with it's performance so far. I use it i.c.w. GO Dev Launcher, Dialer, SMS & Contacts ... must say it rocks! :cool:
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
It's not. The Blur Home is much faster on Defy. Touch screen also seems to be more responsive. I mean in Milestone 2 it's not keeping up with my finger in contrast to Defy on this movie. Sorry if I am grumbling too much, but my Milestone's touch screen compared for example to the Iphone's one(even the old 3G which has my girlfriend) isn't so good unfortunately...

EDIT: Even in quadrant bench. Defy has 200 points higher score on this ROM than our Milestones 2 :P
[Milestone 2 General] veno77:
Hello after upgrade to 2.2.2 UK I noticed the following bug, when I open contacts and click search button it is not working, I have to exit contacts and enter again then it is working, I didn't notice this problem before with 2.2. How it is with you guys?
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
i have that bug on my current non-updated (2.2) software...lol :D. what u can do is if the search doesnt work, click the back soft key (such that it goes back to your previous screen) and click the contacts icon again and it should work...LOL Right i see you figured out how to sort out that issue ;)

:D

btw commenting on the motorola defy video, i dont see a difference between that and the MS2. the MS2 scrolls as smoothly if not better than that. i dont see why the person who posted the reply regarding this issue is complaining at all. :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
but when i used the blur launcher, the scrolling is quite laggy >"<

it cannot be as smooth as the defy in the video:(
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
unfortunately i cant say the same. i hardly ever experience any lag on the blur launcher on my MS2. the only time i experience a lag is when im low on battery (less than 15%) or when im running some sort of a memory intensive application and click the home key. otherwise it is quite brilliantly smooth.

not exaggerating in anyway, but smooth enough that it wow'd an iphone 4 user and an iphone 3Gs user :)
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
it is strange :confused:

how many widgets are you using?
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Mine is laggy without any widgets ;) Just a few icons.
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
I tried to freeze all other launchers and switch back to blur, and reboot.

but the blur launcher is still not smooth at all (with icons, folders and widgets)

and the folder renaming issue after reboot is still exist...so...I am switching back to ADW EX:D
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
i have the facebook widget, calender/appointment, the standard blur social networking, messaging and status widgets, stock weather widget, fast reboot, youtube, watchdog, bbc, lookout, droid stats, connected music player, youtube, google maps, dictionary.com, and widgetsoid spread over the 5 screens of my blur launcher.

basically as u can see, except for a few, most of them are stock widgets ;)
[Milestone 2 General] nanava:
It seems to be the BLUR launcher but is it ?

I don't recognize the date/time widget, looks nice but does anyone know which this is ?

Also the scrolling of the screens in just a small part of the window seems strange to me, how did he do that ?

BTW My Milestone2 has 5 screens full of widgets and icons and has the same performance in scrolling (flashed with latest 2.2.2 UK ROM) via Moto update software.
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
He actually scroll the whole screen, just his icons and widgets all located at the bottom. That clock is a live wallpaper.

I only use 5 page of blur launcher too but it is scrolling unsmooth:(

The widgets i put is beautiful widgets, temp+cpu v2, catch notes, calendar, audiomanger, xWeatherHK, desktop visualizer, widgetsoid, and poweramp

Also a few icons and 4 folders (and i noticed that the folder renaming issue after reboot is still exist...)

Coz my phone is a Asia Retail, I flash the UK 2.2.2 sbf myself, but i can't have the same performance on the blur launcher:(
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
im also using the asia retail version, however i did not flash the 2.2.2 sbf. and i have no issues regarding performance. it even scrolls very smoothly when i use my regina launcher.

perhaps you are having some very memory intensive program running in the background? usually if my phone does become laggy i use the freeware called 'fast reboot'. its like rebooting ur phone by restarting all processes without really having to wait for your phone to boot up all over again. do give it a try and see if it works :)
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
that is actually called wp clock. the light version is free and the full version is around $1 from the android market if im right.

im however very happy with my widgetsoid clock (from the widgetsoid widget) as i think its rather functional apart from being a rather pretty eye candy :)
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
thanks for the suggestions agent:)

when i use Launcherpro or ADW launcher EX, they both scroll smoothly. just the blur launcher is a bit laggy. That guy with defy have a very smooth blur launcher, and I was expecting mm2 with better hardware should perform even better, but it is not :(
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
well it apparently seems that different people have different experiences with the blur launcher on the MS2. some of them, like yourself seem to find it laggy whilst some find it smooth. a

s i said use fast reboot if it gets laggy, and if the lag happens in very uncomfortably short intervals, consider using watchdog or a similar sort of app to monitor how your running apps are behaving. from what i have noticed, many live wallpapers tend to slow down your phone significantly apart from draining your battery. do check that as well :)

well since the 2.2.2 patch didnt seem to address this issue on the whole, i do hope that motorola would release an updated blur launcher with better performance tweaks for the upcoming gingerbread update (if any)

EDIT: try installing the free version of the WP clock (like what the defy in that video has), and let me know if you notice a difference. i switched temporarily from my nexus revamped live wallpaper to the free version of WP clock and i noticed a very slight improvement in fluidity. perhaps since, to start off with you were probably experiencing a rather significant lag, try this method and see if it works:)
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Defy just got leaked official Gingerbread 2.3.3 with new MotoBlur. Should we wait with hope for Gingy as well, or cry that we didn't buy Defy?
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
Ok I have a little more hope now XD

Droid2 and Defy got 2.3, then they shouldn't miss milestone2.

But what I fear is they use the same practice as the milestone1, delaying our updates for months :(

RSD Lite grey "start" button issue on Windows 7 fix:-

1. Rename long filename to shorter one, such as "update.sbf".

RETAIL ASIA SBF is available now and ver. 2.2.

Backup? Yes n no!

1. SBF bears "Service" tag won't wipe personal data !

Retail Asia 2.2 can't flash Retail GB 2.2.2, huh? I've flashing Milestone 2 fm ASIARET 2.2 to RTGB 2.2.2 and vice versa for several times.
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
Nice! there is finally Asia retail sbf, so I can flash back to it if need warranty :D
[Milestone 2 General] skygunner:
Hi,

Do I need to create a sbf backup of my current firmware first before I flash this UK retail sbf? My one is on Vodafone Au 2.2, rooted with z4root.

(I saw there is 2.2 sbf Vodafone Au for download already on the sbf download page, so I don't have to create the sbf myself , it would be same?)

I've done backup of user apps and sms using titanium backup pro. Having droid 2 bootstrap installed.
[Milestone 2 General] marcolino7:
Hi,

this is my 1st update via sbf.

I would ask some question about:

1) Shall I have to wipe my phone or SBF update does not impact on Data?

2) Shall I wipe cache and dalvik cache?

3) What kind of tool I have to use to root this new SBF?

4) I'm using Droid2Bootstrapper to enter into an advanced recovery, do it work also on this new svf?

Many Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] marcolino7:
Hi,

Just updated & rooted now.

My phone is faster and i did not lost any data.

Great

Marco
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Still contemplating whether this update is wirth the hassle.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
What hassle? I applied the update (to be honest, I used the version that leaked a few days before the official update), and it kept all the settings etc, so it was no hassle at all.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
You're probably right.

What about root? No re-rooting required?
[Milestone 2 General] marcolino7:
Hi,

you have to root again using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. You can find on XDA Forum.

BYe
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Flashed, rooted. I will see how this works without doin a hard reset and if that is required for the phone to work better I will do that.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
I didn't bother with a hard reset, and am not sure I've suffered any problems from not doing so. If you do end up performing a hard reset, and it improves something, then please let us know.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
I did not see any improvements. I noticed that Data Manager changed to the new only after a wipe.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
After one day from restoring the system and app backups using TiB the system went south and I am doing another system wipe. Root stopped working. Market stopped working. TiB stopped working etc., etc.

EDIT: I restored the phone to defaults again via recovery menu and set everything up and it seems to be working ok now.
[Milestone 2 General] aithnea:
Confirmed, I had the same behaviour.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
What's the difference between the two Data Managers?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
It shows data used up and such.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Thanks. It does make me wonder what other differences that aren't so readily visible might be made if I were to reset?

Cheers,

Steve.
