"Similar trouble happens with creating Ext partitions (phone does not recognize them, but that´s another story...)" that is one of my other problems... I never did manage to put ext partitions to be recognized on my phone. Not to mencion that Link2SD comes way back when those suported roms where not available. So, I´ve got already a bunch of backed up "app libraries" specially for link2SD. I do believe the transition for 300 plus apps will not be that easy and smooth (many times, when changing roms, and restoring stuff using titanium, I need to go back and reinstall some apps (the restore process must break somewhere along the way). A pretty pain in the ass if you ask me ;) Not to mencion that I´m not to familiar with that app2ext thing (in the way it works, and if it would do what I need it to).

Will have to check that out.

Thanks for that extra info man.:good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
for me it works fine when i use the SD Tools Menu in my MiniMod to create a ext partition (i use it for 5 sdcards for now and all works fine)

the resize option is the best (cause you will not lose any data on sdcard)

its a hard work when updating and restore apps by using titanium, it taks a long time
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I´ll definetly have to check out your OR. It seems pretty cool, with some really usefull tools :good:

Regarding the app2ext option. Some doubts:

1- Will the script move dalvik cache and lib files automatically to that ext partition? I´ve been reading and I do believe it does not (at least it didn´t a while ago). I need it to move all those files to the ext partition so that space can be saved.

2- What is exactly the maximum size for the ext partition? I´ve read that it is recomended around 2GB maximum size (for Ext4). If so, that won´t cut it for me, since I´m using Link2SD with the option to move App data/dalvik data/ Lib data to the external partition (Fat32 one), I´ve got this partition with a total space of 2.60GB and 2.26 of it is already taken... As I said, I´ve got loads of apps (300 plus) ;). Maybe that option is not for me? Glad it works for you.

Do you know any thread where this things are explained/discussed in depth?

Will check it better nevertheless.

Thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
only apps will be move to ext, but you can activate lib2ext (its also includet in cm) to move all libs to ext (but i dont know the exact command for that at the moment)

and with some changes to the apps2ext script it also move dalvik-cache to ext and all other what you want ;)

and you also can use 4gb for ext as i know, there is no realy limit

but a last question ;) why you have 300+ apps on your device? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Jus tried a few minutes ago the 98 swapon v.9 script from FuFu´s. Updated CM7 to 7.2.4b (latest version). Confirmed that it is indeed the latest version I have now on my phone. I´ve instaled the script from the apply update menu (using 2ndbootOR), I´ve booted the system, verified that the swapon.conf file is on the sdcard and also on system/etc/init.d folder. Checked permissions, -rwxr-x--- appears on the screen. Still did the chmod 750 permission enabler command. Went to verify the free command... it still gives me back zeros on the swap line...:mad:

Don´t know what I might be doing wrong. I would really love to test this swap option, but it seems I can´t at the moment... Any idea to test anyone?

Thanks for any ideas/help once again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
hmm...

here it works...

take a look into /cache/swapon.log or just post it here

if there no errors in log it must be work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Ok. I´ve read the maximum size for ext partition was around 2GB. More than that and it tends to not work porperly. But if you say so, all have to give it a go for myself.

Relating the Lib command I do know it is possible to do so, the dalvik I don´t. The thing is some people tend to overlook the awesome job apps like Link2SD do (specially for not so techy savy android people), since it allows data/libs and dalvik to be moved to the external partition whithout having to input the commands (the GUI takes care of it) and it works pretty good, no major issues for almost 2 years. In my view app2ext still has some overcomings in that aspect. For example, Dalvik cache sometimes takes up more than 4 times its app size... Multiply that by many apps and add it to a Milestone phone and..."Houston we´ve got a problem..." :D

Relating my relative large number off apps. "why you have 300+ apps on your device?" Because I put them there ;) Kiding! All people are diferent. I tend to like having the apps I do tend to use from time to time available on the phone. I see the sdcard "extended partition" as a (slower) alternative to internal flash IC memory chips (which Milestone unfortunatly lacks big time). If there are phones with 16 GB and more wouldn´t you want to use all the available space if you would need it? I know I do ;)

Will have to check the best way to go around this issue.

Relating the script problem I speak below, any idea?

See you around and thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
if link2sd works fine for you, stay on it ;) why change a working thing...

but with the script ptoblem i dont realy know a answer...

at last i update he swapon script to V10 cause V9 not work on cm10 at all

but why it wont work on cm7 for you i dont know :( here it works fine... have you any errors shown in /cache/swapon.log?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
"mmcblk0p3 not exist...

no swap file found on sdcard or ext partition...

creating swapfile on /sd-ext...

use 32 MB for swap

use /sd-ext/swapfile for swap...

set swappiness settings...

all done"

That is the log. I do believe the "mmcblk0p3 not exist" info relates to the app2ext partition missing issue only if i get it right.

All the rest seems pretty normal. The files are on their correct places (system/etc/init.d for 98swapon script and sdcard for swapon.conf file). Still whenever I do the "free" command on terminal emulator it spiks back zeros for the swap line....

I do NOT get it... :confused:

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Error log above :good:

As said, nothing seems wrong in my view. Will try other script versions maybe :confused:

Relating the use or not of link2sd or similar apps, I tend to agree with you, we all have to use what suits us best. But now that I´ve read a bit about it, even Nadlabaks says people should not use apps like this using CMs roms, because they could conflict with CMs internal app2ext scripts... I did not have that problem (at least not that I´ve noticed) but that know concerns me a bit. I´ve been using stock 2.2 for a long time -no issues. Changed to CM7 (7.2.2) still no conflicts, but it worries me that they might happen...

Anyway. One thing at a time:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
hmm...

the script founds the ext partition and creates the swapfile there... but it wont creates it :(

mmcblk0p3 is the swap partiton (partition 3 on sdcard, 2 is ext)

maybe edit the swapon.conf on sdcard to use swap on internal memory (set SWAPINT= to 1)

i hope there are 32mb free on /cache (but i thing so, here are 80mb free) then reboot an check it that will work, its also a little bit faster then swap on ext or sdcard
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Will try that. But as a member around here said, I´m also a bit relutant to use the script on the internal memory, as the script must kill IC cells like a cancer! Not good for the internal IC. For testing purposes will have a go though.

One doubt: I was looking at the log file and it says "creating swapfile on /sd-ext". I went to look at the paths with Root Explorer and did see the swap.conf on /sdcard and when I go and look at the /sd-ext no file is there, despite the log saying the swapfile was created there...:confused:

Any idea concerning this?

edit: It works when using the script as internal (on the cache partition?). My doubt is: Isn´t the script trying to mount the file originaly on the sd-ext partition? And isn´t this partition the one used by CM7 for apps? If so, how come it even exists If, as said before, I use only two partitions (both Fat32), one for files and the second for Link2SD apps? There should not be any SD-ext partition should it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
swapon.conf is use since v8 of the script, so maybe flash the new v10 via OR over, may it helps

i think /sd-ext is not mount correctly, you can also set swapint to 1 and set swapdev to /sdcard ;) that may also will work to use sdcard for swapfile...

other way to use swap without script is the app swapper2 from store, it have a gui and as i know also a autostart option, if the script not works for you, you can also give the app a try

only thing to know about swap on sdcard is, if you mount the sdcard to the pc, you must deaktivate swap befor, and for that the app swapper2 is the best way
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I´m using your latest v.10 version for testing. The one which worked on the internal cache partition. I´ve already tryed using swapper and it also did not work. Don´t know about swapper 2 though... Will have a go at it. And also to what you mencioned on the swap.conf file.

Edit: It worked (changing the SWAPINT to 1 and the SWAPDEV to /sdcard). Way to go FuFu!

Now I´m facing the doubt as to how to unmount (not definetly) the script so to disable it and the SDCard to be recognized by Windows... I´ve read on the site the "how to´s" but didn´t quite get it...

I´m also going to try swapper to see how it goes.

Thanks for all the help man.

See you around.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] muro18:
Hi, I cannot find a way to wipe battery stats in the FuFu or,does it exist? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
There is no such option in OR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I´m trying to flash one of Cronomod scripts around here using Minimod OR. The thing is the tutorial for the scripts instalation uses ClockWorkMod Recovery and for that the .zip file needs to be on the root of the SDCard and we need to use the option "install zip from sdcard" which isn´t available on this OR... At least I can´t find it anywhere :confused: Will it work to flash the .zip file if I put it into the update folder on the OR directory and flash it using the "apply update" menu option?

Thanks for any info on that.

EDIT: I´ve tried the apply update method and it did work. It sucessfully installed the script on the phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] climhz:
I just flash MS back to stock then reboot into recovery, but i can only use recovery for 5-10 seconds before the phone auto reboot itself. Help please!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Did you do a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) before downgrading?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] climhz:
Ofcourse not, i flashed by RSDlite so i think all data is wiped

Fired from my Skyrocket
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sedariya11:
hi i wanted to install cm10 on it thru using this recovery but when i go to recovery to install the new rom i cant find any option to format the system..like format, wipe cache etc..pl help..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
The Wipe Menu is in the Nandroid Menu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I had such difficulties to find it... Select Text based recovery (if I haven't missed anything, touch recovery don't allow you to install zip and wipe?) and it's under Nandroid menu and wipe ;)

BTW, -FuFu- I haven't forget to translate your OR in French and if I've time, to create a new topic for already solved "problem" (often the same questions). Haven't had the time since I came back to school and mainly, because it's now my second device (HD2 is just AMAZING, I couldn't expect that from a device more aged than our Milestone !)

And finally, Happy new year to all. Wish you Kabaldan doesn't leave the Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i also have not the time to work on the OR ;)

so no problem ^^

and yes, in touch mode its not possible to flash update.zip, textbased is the best way, touch mode is just to see what is possible, if i find the time i will work on the OR ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thanks and Happy New Year to you and all the friends and developers here.Sorry for forgetting to do this in time.

froyo fast

sorry for an off topic question.. does your froyo fast and lite mod has english in it? I would like to try it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
yes, i think all languages included...

the base is a German O2 sbf, so if needed, you can flash another baseband over OpenRecovery...

and if you dont find any app that is only available in your country, you must change "ro.build.description" and "ro.build.fingerprint" in build.prop, but i think there is no need to ;)

i think i start a thread here ;)

edit:

just started the Thread ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130958

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
next step is to make my MiniMod multilingual...

first i try to make the Menu multilingual, but its a lot of work cause there are many files to edit.

at the moment i have edit most of the scripts that the menu use values, but i will take a second look at the scripts. so i think it will take some time to provide a multilingual Version.

i have a english and german translation done, but my biggest problem at the moment is, that i cant use special chars like äöü (for german) and also some other chars that may be importent for other languages.

if i wont get it work there will be only a english version
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
if you need an Italian translation please contact me... i would be happy to help... (but even here there may be problems with àèéìòù)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
-FuFu-, don't get me wrong - I admire your dedication to keep working on your Mod for so long.

But I don't think it's useful to make a translation.

99% percent of all guides are in English, and if someone has questions he will most likely have to post them here in English and also will receive an answer in English.

It's already hard to describe the location of some Android settings when one is using the ROM in his mothertongue and has to find the equivalent menu points in English.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i know ;) how you see my english is sooo bad ;) but the think to translate it to other languages is, that the user understand the menu ;)

and i just provide german and english, the other languages can be make by the users itself...

for debugging i need the english translation...

also i only will translate the menu, all outputs will be english, its to much work to edit all files, and also i wont edit the recovery binary.

so the languages are addons

btw, we cant use extended chars like "éçàùâäêëûüîïôöñòìàè" so there will be some problems with some languages... if someone will provide a language file, just use the english file and edit it... and if it wont work with the translations, i will stay on english ;)

a french translation is almost done, and i test it if there are some problems...

and if someone whant to test the feature, download this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dui9lqf4lvaukkd/multi_lang.zip

unzip and copy to sdcard...

and here the new lang files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rn1sh9ez7rqxn7r/langs.zip

just unzip and copy to OpenRecovery/etc/langs

its just beta and not all menu points will be translatet, but its only for testing, so everyone can make his own lang file...

i will try to add all menu points to the lang files, but at the moment i dont have the time to do this...

if someone want to add the missing menu points, just do it ;) all needed files are in the first .zip, just add values, its easy to do, but its a lot of work...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Dear FuFu,

I also feel that Eierschik is right about spoiling your valuable time for irrelevant translation.And your English is not at all that much ununderstandable.Thanks however for your continued efforts.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
first language is english in OR for me... my english is bad, i know ;)

but google translate dont speaks good english if you translate from german ;)

the multilingual feature is just a feature... its just a value thing, i add values to the scripts and add all values to 1 file to include it... so for me its not more work ;)

but for me its a feature that may some people want to use, there are people all over the world who wont speak english and for this people is may good, to have or in there language, my or was traslated to france some month ago, but to much updates, and now its just easyer to translate ;)

and i will still update my mod ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
Italian translation

(i hadn't time to test it but it should work fine)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
thx, i think it will work ;) i will add it to the lang.zip and also in the next update :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Seems no more activity here.Also nobody comes too!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i dont have the time at to work on my OR at the moment...

but i will try to upload a multilingual update this month

maybe some user with a XT720 here?

they can be test if the Minimod is work on this device, just download this file: http://droid-world.bplaced.net/load.php?file=XT720.zip

unzip and copy to sdcard, i dont know how to use on XT720 or if its work anyway, but if it work, i will include support vor XT720, at the moment only support for A853 (Milestone) all other devices that normaly supportet by OR are not work, cause i delete the binarys...

i only have a milestone, so i dont able to test if other devices works...

if it works on XT720, please give feedback to me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
If you feel that your OR has potential for the XT720, I recommend starting a thread in the XT720 Dev thread.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of testers there. :)

As for me, I also installed the FroyoMOD addon, and so far, I like it. I'd like to know a few things though, if I change my OC or my memtweaks via OR, is there a way to restore it easily?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
at the moment there is no restore function for OC included, best way is make a backup you self, but i will include backup features in next release.

i have still a lot scripts here ^^ but it take some time ;)

and the easiest way to restore OC or memtweaks is a nandroid :D ;) if using the SuperCharging Options in OR there is a option to restore old options
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
Looks good mate

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Regarding XT720, Does it need vulnerable recovery ?

Thanks ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i don't really know ;) i have no XT720 test...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
so, just update the First post here ^^ hope now it looks better ;)

also some updates added in first post

just want to say that i'm working on v0.03...

i think i will release in 2 or 3 days if all will work...

here a small overview of some new features...

- new Background in OR

- brightness in OR set to 50 to save Battery

- you now able to set brightness for OR (10 steps)

- add a backup function (backup sysapps, init.d folder, framework-res.apk and fonts)

- backup function also have a restore function ;)

if you have some special request for a feature to include, please post here, i will see what i can do ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
You know i like that OR and others here know it too :-)

Important is to have a Backup/Restore Option for every Change. I think iam not alone with that opinion.

Restore for Metamorph works fine and it give us a great Chance to apply a new Theme everyday ;-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
yes, for most options there is a restore function, if not then there is a option to go back to stock ;)

i also will include a simple file browser in new MiniMod to browser the whole file system and can copy files to sdcard, delete or set chmod ;)

also include a simple backup function to backup some special files ;)

i think if all work i will release today ^^ just some last testings...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:

Hope you like the New features... new screenshots will be add in first post soon...

screenshoots will also add to project homepage in v0.03 changelog...

now main work is done, if you miss a feature in MiniMod please tell me, i will see what i can do to include in MiniMod
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sergio Lorenzo:
Maybe partitioning features could be interesting, if possible (like Amon_RA's at desire and similar).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
this is possible ;) i will make a extra addonpack for this feature...

only problem i have with this feature is, that the script works perfect with 8gb sdcards but have problems with 16 and 32 gb cards, it will not get the right size of the card...

but i hardcode the size in the script like i do in GOT OR and OR SE ;) so this will work, but some space on sdcard unused, but maybe i can fix this problem
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
fufu: first thank you for your grat job :)

second: id like to a feature like in AOR, move user app to system app and vica versa.

anything else is just perfect :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
thanks

i will take a look, may it will be easy to include... but i must look how to include best ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
in AOR it is a simple move, from /data/app to /system/app or reverse.

the other great feature will be ext partition manage, like convert ext2 to ext3 and ext4.

in xda forum found have you found how to do this. il posted already.
