Will donate 10$.

I created a page in FB, but can't add links. I will update the bounty regularly.

The page is 'Milestone 2 Custom ROM'

Maybe some one can add a 'Like' Button.
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
Bounty reached US$300!

I think Im going to study to be a DEV! haha
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
Please, add me on the dev list. I am able to boot into a custom rom, while preserving the stock rom! I have proposed santiemanuel to allow me to dualboot Argen2Stone with my rom(s) :)
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
Added!

Thanks, buddy!

WOW!

If santiemanuel agree, would be great to have dualboot!

Or better, you can do 2 versions:

Yours and Yours+Argen2Stone and the user decides which one he prefers to flash.

What do you think?
[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
Maybe we can invite santiemanuel to join this preject. For now he has team up with Mikevhl:)
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
Santiemanuel said that he disagree with been payed for dev things.
[Milestone 2 General] imakdevries:
I think we should make the requirements for winning the bounty more clear.

Because isn't argen2stone "a FUNCTIONAL and USABLE day-to-day basis ROM" already?
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
But we also said that we are looking for AOSP or CM7 (which is AOSP with some neat addons =D)

Also, ^
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
A2S isnt a real Custom ROM. Its 2nd-init ROM.
[Milestone 2 General] imakdevries:
Yeah guys that is your intention, but this is not clear from the startpost. (I'm totaly with you, but we must avoid trouble)

You should clarify the startpost.

For example:

The rom must have the following requirements

- It must be a custom rom (not a cooked or 2nd init one)

- No blur

- it should be aosp, cm or fission. Anything but this must be approved by majority vote of the contributors.

This is just a example but the requirements stated in the start post are to vague.
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
Thanks a lot!

Updated 1st post!
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
What? No second init? Damn, that's our only way to boot into custom roms without an unlocked bootloader! I used it too on the mini pro. No custom roms with a locked bootloader without 2nd-init!

To make your point more clearly, A2s is a heavily modified and optimized stock rom. AOSP and CM7 roms are build from scratch, which is what I am working on.

Now please tell me 2nd-init is allowed, or you'll never see a custom rom :o

That is not meant as a threatment, custom roms just won't boot without it

[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
Don`t get angry. Maybe he just misunderstand something. I believe he will give you satisfying answer.
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
He uses 2nd-init as well, you can't have two roms using 2nd-init. That and somehow dualboot refuses for now, I could try it from the sdcard, but I think everyone agrees we would much rather have anything custom running right now and afterwards have me looking into a dualboot solution, if there is one.

Not angry, just telling I need it. If this means I won't get the donations, so be it. You guys have had enough promises and waiting already :)

[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
I have just one thing to add about Fission. Angdroid was developing it, and some people already donated to him.

IF

he finishes the job, he'll get just a part of the bounty.

For example: He got $150 for the first time. If the bounty is on $350, he'll get what's needed to achieve $350, $200.

But I really doubt he'll show up. He said it before and never did it. He just can't keep with a commitment, even if people helped him by donating enough money for him to purchase the phone. Simply put, I don't trust him.
[Milestone 2 General] imakdevries:
I just wrote a few thing down. If 2nd init is the only way the flash a custom rom we would be fools to disallow it.
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
Relax!

We just would like to have without 2nd-init.

But if its impossible, no problem. We just wanna a very good ROM :)
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
No problem, I understand 2nd init may look like a bad thing and something that slows down the system and all, but it isn't :)

In fact, all it does is extract custom init.rc scripts on the root directory before booting. No slowdown whatsoever :) these scripts are needed, for custom roms (Especially sense!) Need custom init.rc scripts, since they handle functions and drivers a tad differently from moto's stock rom. Another reason we need it is because for the time being we have to boot from /preinstall and there is no way to mount it as /system yet. The change telling the system to boot from /preinstall is in init.rc, which is, as you guessed, extracted by 2nd-init :)

Sent from my Milestone 2
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
Only way to boot it actually. Installation will not be through cwm. I'll pack it all into a nice script though which will do all the work for you. Provided will be a script to uninstall and run the rom you previously were running, be it Argen2Stone or stock brazilian blur. No UK rom, it doesn't wanna be friends with 2nd-init :(

Well you could flash the brazilian sbf and the /system partition from an uk sbf, or nandroid though. That would make it work as well. Basically the script will:

Backup a2s' custom init.rc's (2nd-init stuff) and replace them with mine. /preinstall will be cleaned and my rom will be extracted. It will take in account that the stock rom still needs to have 2nd-init installed and install it if needed. All you will have to do is enter like 4 lines on your pc.

[Milestone 2 General] Musashi6601:
Please do so, man. Mike and Santi are doing a wonderful effort, but we really gotta get some attention to our cause. Us, M2 owners, are in many ways abbandoned. Some devices have 5 different custom roms to choose from.

[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Hi guys. Infornutely I don't have good things to say to you. 3 weeks ago I sent my Milestone 2 to warranty, it was a digitizer problem and they replaced it. But now my Milestone has another problem, the volume up button is crazy and pressing itself all the time. This happens even on CWM recovery, which suggests that it's a hardware problem. I'm sending it back to warranty and sincerely don't know when or if it'll come back. I had this same experience with my 6710 and because of that I got my Milestone 2 (got the X6 as a replacement, sold it and bought the M2), and things seems like going on the same direction here. Other than that, Moto damaged the screen bezel, so it's another problem to deal.

For this reason, I can no longer confirm my donation offer. I'm very sad with this situation and wish that Moto could be a little more careful with their clients, either by better software policies, or better hardware support. I'm not sure what will happen from now on. If the problem doesn't go away, I'll ask for a replacement, and in Brazil (I don't know about other countries) if you have a problem with a device unsolved for more than 30 days, the company/store MUST give a device with the same features/price or better. That happened before and I think it will happen again. And since M2 price dropped since I bought it, they must give me either the money I used to purchase it back revised, or a device with a value next to that or bigger (which leaves me with an Atrix).

For all of you, if I don't come back, I wish you luck with custom ROM's and devs. Milestone 2 is a great device but sadly for me it has become a burden.
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
Just make sure your next phone will run android ;)
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Yeah, since I have nothing to do at night, I'm updating info about the problem I'm having with Moto. If anyone has a problem with that, please tell me and I'll remove these posts

Motorola Latin America doesn't have a good way to contact anybody. There is a chat, but is outsorced, so they don't know anything about phones, just a bunch of monkeys copying and pasting pre-made answers. Complained about it on Motorola Europe through facebook and, surprisingly, they answered and are trying to help with my problem (http://www.facebook.com/motorolaeurope/posts/10150267817040499?notif_t=feed_comment). Tiago Lira is me, obviously. I'm sending the phone to warranty tomorrow again. Let's see how it goes.
[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
Please don't! I found it really interesting to learn about the 30-days-no-help policy, never heard of it before :)

Guys, I quit!

Yesterday I traded my M2 for Galaxy S!

So im quitting for these forums, but I wish the best for all owners of M2!

If you guys need anything, just PM me and I need that some1 take care of facebook page, who can manage this topic, bounty and facebook page?
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
So, I'm back to update, but it seems like this topic died... That's a shame... Moto really doesn't care about their clients, this mobile had the chance to be the best in the market, but they ****ed it up with Motoblur and ****ty hardware (double keyboard typing is a hardware problem, since Stargo's drive doesn't solve it permanently).

Nway, I'm still having that problem with Moto, and now I asked for PROCON to deal with it (PROCON is a public service that protects consumer rights in Brazil). The phone is still under warranty service, and it just granted me a new mobile, equal or better than M2. I'm just waiting for Motorola to answer to my claim on PROCON to get it.

I'm also posting the problem on ReclameAqui, which is a well-known complaint site on Brazil. I ask for my brazillian fellows to spread this link, to Like it on Facebook, or to just make some noise about it. Talking with the attendants at Motorola Warranty Services, some said that there are lots of Milestone 2 coming with defects, like screen problems, double keyboard press bug, overheating, all sorts of problem. So, I'm just warning you, I don't want it to happen to your devices, but it probably will happen.

[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
I believe this is my last update. Took the phone back from warranty, decided to give one more shot to Motorola. Worst move ever. The phone came with the same problem, I said explicitly that the problem was hardware, that I've already reinstalled software, but they didn't listen, just reinstalled the software again. Called Motorola, they said they'll be replacing my phone next week, just waiting for the technical report. I'm going to ask for an Atrix, for all the trouble I've been having with Moto, all the time I lost going to warranty. Either that or my money back.

Anyway, Milestone 2 is past for me now. I can't even look to it anymore, I'm so angry at Moto I almost threw it away. Going for a Galaxy S or S II or even the Atrix, if I have the guts to go with Motorola again.
[Milestone 2 General] guidoido004:
if appears a working CUSTOM ROM(working good) ill put 1 hundred bucks in this, but need to be before i get a droid 3(in 3 or 4 months =p)

the atrix has no support and still with more support than the milestone 2... lol

i at least got 5 or 6 mods and a Custom Theme in my atrix, but nothing avaible to milestone 2, thats why i dont got one yet.

[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Well, I guess one is willing to donate anymore... This topic needs a bump!

We have 5 Gingerbread Roms by now:

CM7 (Endless7 port), 2 MIUIs (r2beta0 and will5 port versions), MS2Ginger (walter79) and Mostly Blurless Gingerbread (wondersp00n).

And they are stable enough for daily use.

[Milestone 2 General] ZolaSlo:
I'm running CM7 by Endless for 2 days now. Stable, everything so far runs wihout problems. My first custom ROM this is. Made few mistakes along the way so I had to repeat the proceedure 3-4 times. Last time I had it back to stock ROM, rooted and back to CM7 with all the fixes applied in about half an hour. So once you get the hang of it, it's really a fast and easy thing to do.

Are the roms stable enough to deserve the bounty? I know the topic was from a long time, when the only choice was stock froyo, but even with new stock roms a lot has been done.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fechina:
I have installed the Wireless tethering and when I try to connect my pc using my tab, it will not get pass the gateway..it shows limited connection on my pc, however, my tab is showing like it is actually sending and receiving packets...How do I fix this issue?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
Hi Fechina,

When you say you have installed wireless tethering, what exactly do you mean? The reason I ask this is because my GT-P1000T has it already built in to the firmware (Froyo 2.2). I just go to Settings -> Mobile APN and turn it on... Works like a charm every time. I can also set my WEP/WPA encryption if I choose to.

Andy
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sef_P1000:
Did you set your TAB APN security to have a password, because other computers could already be connecting to your SGT, that's why you see it sending and receiving packets. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fechina:
Yes, I have a password..

@andychud I am rooted but still on the stock rom..I had to install the Wireless Tether for root in order to access it...I cannot find any custom roms for the Sprint tab..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
Hi Fechina,

Did you manage to get to the bottom of this yet or are you still unable to tether?

So, are you saying the the stock ROM you are using doesn't have wireless tethering built-in to it & you have installed some 3rd party tethering app? I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand the nature of your problem. If you could give more details, I'll try to help.

Andy
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I see that you have stock froyo which is by default already have the ability to act as a wireless access point. Why you have to install Wireless tethering I don't understand. Anyway here is the proceedure I use if I want to connect my pc to the tab

http://deinfotech.blogspot.com/2010/12/samsung-galaxy-tab-as-wireless-access.html

If on the other hand you want to connect your Galaxy tab to your pc as an adhoc network then you will have to replace the wpa supplicant file with a modified one here-http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G299FMBE

Your gt is rooted so this can be done easily.
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
Most of the Custom ROMs for our phone now come with JIT enabled. From what i gathered, enabling JIT speeds up our phone response and is reflected in Linpack Score. However, even Linpack score viability in practical usage has been debated by some.

What i wanted to know was whether enabling JIT actually saves battery by making the phone work efficiently or does it drain battery on account of faster performance ?

P.S. - And while devs are at it, could they take a peek at THIS POST ?
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
JIT does not drain your battery. Theoretically cpu is doing less work because manages the load more efficiently. So that means that maybe with jit is a little better.
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
I think the post you gave is for HTC Wizard which is a Windows Mobile Phone

Ours is a ANDROID phone :)

And I agree with LarryMetal that it should be better with JIT enabled... :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Plasmafox:
I wouldn't say that it saves or drains battery.

Just read what JIT-compilation (at Wikipedia - can't post links because I haven't got enough posts) really is and you will understand the differences.

Battery usage is nearly the same as without JIT, but what you get is much more efficient.
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
If a process completes in less cpu cycles will use less battery. But this is in theory, because in real-life usage of a phone it won't make much a difference, nor in speed or battery usage.

And I know what JIT is, better than what you think!
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
Thank you for your replies & dharam for suitably pointing out that the hack is WM specific.

So from what i understand, enabling JIT is not as productive as it is made out to be - atleast in practical usage of battery ? Efficiency-wise it does make a difference though? Not a bad trade-off considering that there wont be extra strain on the battery...
[Galaxy 3 General] Plasmafox:
That's right.

In speed it makes a difference, that's the point of using JIT.

In battery usage it doesn't make a noticeable difference and that was the point of my post.

I don't think anything about your JIT-knowledge and I never spoke directly to you when saying "Just read what JIT-compilation [...] really is". ;)

But the question of this thread has been solved, so we shouldn't go off-topic. I'm out. :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] Khanusma:
Does your phone require a bump charge to actually get the battery to 100%?

Unfortunately mine does. I had an incredible and am familiar with this process. Unfortunately my Charge told me that I was at 100% when it was really closer to about 60%. I know I was at ~60% b/c I turned the phone off and plugged it in and the batter icon showed about that percentage full.

Not too happy about this. It would suck if I have to have the phone off to get almost half my battery full.

Any fixes? Is it possible its just a fluke since this is one of my first couple initial charges?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
I havent had any problems like this. It could be that you got a bad battery...
[Verizon Droid Charge] warriorprophet:
The android battery meter isn't a pure percentage meter, it also uses statistical history and current useage to guage how much you have left. So if you turn the screen on and pull down the notification area the screen and cpu just went to full use from nill, and the battery is probably a little hot, so with little statistics yet the battery thinks its being drained super fast.

Unplug it when it tells you to and don't plug it in till it asks to be plugged in, this will get you the most accurate battery readings. Otherwise don't worry about it unless its telling you to unplug it and then giving you the low battery dance before you get to your first destination of the day or something terribly bad.
