Hi sileshn,

I want to get Froyo or GB rom, but I need a long battery life!

Can you suggest me the best please?

Thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I believe Sileshn mentioned it ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
get cronosginger 1.4.0 with pcphobics mods ..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
Thank you rrohanjs!

I never hear about Cronosginger!

Is it necessary to flash Froyo sbf first? Now I've stock eclair
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Like everybody else...the path to custom ROMing on our Milestone is via the G.O.T Update method which u can learn all about it at this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811221

Once u have successfully applied the G.O.T Update method, u are free to flash any custom ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukas77:
In my expirience Eclair is way faster then froyo n' GB, all that fastest screens switching and menu animations prove nothing:

Try to run Aura navigation and listen music while you using navigation, its almost impossible and try to make a call. While on eclair everything works well.

Google Maps on GB ROM works terribly slow and that's a fact!

I have Milestone 1.5 year and I tried almost every ROM, it took over six months when I went back to eclair and finally my phone working well without freezing and random reset.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Maybe what thre3aces was trying to say is Gingerbread ROM is not so good at multi-tasking due to lack of RAM on our Milestone as Gingerbread ROM demands more RAM.

But when it comes to the speed of launching apps, I believe FROYO is faster at lauching apps than ECLAIR due to the introduction of JIT and Dalvik Cache.

Anyway, best to try every ROM and decide for yourself.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Why would anybody want to listen to music while using a navigation app. The music will hinder you from listening to the voice turn by turn navigation. Besides, I can play music on my car's stereo player.

And why would I want to make a phone call while the navigation app is still running and music playing at the same time?

You can also try my rom. You should not be disappointed.

Sorry but why is better to flash got sbf and not official froyo sbf?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukas77:
I have radio in my car with bluetooth A2DP so I listening music from my milestone and I don't need navigation voice cause I rather to look at map.

Anyway I like to listen music when playing Angry Birds, what's wrong with that?

Everybody using his phone in his own way, for me everything works better on 2.1 but I miss some 2.2/2.3 features.

I didn't try Cronos Ginger, I have to do it. :)

Because its got VR injected. So you don't need to flash VR seperately.

Thank you very much.

What it change in cronos than cyano6?

Inviato dal mio Milestone usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Well, for starters it is not built anymore from cm7 sources. Feeyo uses his own. Earlier versions didn't have cm7 goodies like notification bar Widgets. There is a seperate flashable zip for it now. Its more snappy and has great battery life. Pcphobic will let you know if I have missed anything. He is the moderator of cronos milestone forum.

Ok many thanks

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yea I know gb is snappy but the thing is like for apps and battery life eclair is fastest because it's light on memory whereas gingerbread isn't. The only reason why most aren't on eclair is cos of the lack on functions. Mainly jit and market related issues (apps not showing. The best example of this is that flash 10.1 isn't available) as well as ext2 and storage issues. This is why I'm trying to mod telus lite to include ext2 (done), jit (done) and market (tryin to mod build.prop, this is where I need people's help).

Hope this clarifies my intentions
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I'm using it right now. It's awsome. I'd donate if I weren't flat broke. The reason why I'm trying to modify eclair is cos I'm going china this summer and I need to get the most battery life out of my phone without compromising too much performance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
While I can't really help you with building it but I really hope you complete it cuz it sounds great.

I am using cm7 and I get only six to eight hours of battery life max.

Another thing is on eclair I could use browser press home then go to market download something and then return to browser to continue browsing without any lag but its almost impossible on gb.

So +1 for your project.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
If u try telus lite as it is and underclock to 350-400mhz lowest vsel possible (Id try 40-45) without playing games and not too much browsing u can make ur phone last 2-7 days.

Basically I'm just trying to sort out the market issues with eclair and I'm gonna start working on it tonight
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
Can we modify Flash to run in Eclair? I return to 2.1, fast, good battery autonomy, moooooooooooooore ram, moreeeeee, in other words, useless.

Can I modify framework to set 60fps instead 30fps?

if these things be impossible, 2.1 will be perfect, JIT in milestone is trash.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I think u mean if they were possible :-P. Tbh I'm not 100% sure about frame limiter but 30fps is smooth. As for flash yes u can. There's an apk u can install I will try and find it for u. If I finish this project I can produce a 2.1 rom supporting flash and show all 2.2 apps.

This is a note to all devs out there. If this is not possible PLEASE stop me now so I don't waste my time
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
And here's flash for 2.1

http://www.google.com/m?client=ms-a...t=&htf=&his=&maction=&q=flash+10.1+apk&flip=0
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
it would be ideal if we could download the flash directly from market, these new applications as well as having to install a brand only in 2.2 + should have some new libraries, they do not rely on JIT as it is possible to disable, then what they depend? This puzzles me a long time.

If we make a 2.1 froyo, Milestone worldwide users will get very many satisfied. Sorry for my english :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
As far as i know the key in tricking the market that you are another version lays in modifying the build.prop file under /system/

change the key ro.build.fingerprint to the one of froyo and this should be sufficient, this is just a guess btw, but as far as i remember nadlabak used to use the fingerprint of droid when the froyo rom was still beta
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
if we do this, the flash app will be install?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I am SERIOUSLY hoping this is true and it is then hypothetically by using the build.prop from ho!no!'s cm7 rc11 rom the market will think im using a 2.2 phone (btw Ho!no! if you're watching this thread I hope this is kl with u :)). The concern i have is whether or not the phone will even boot with a completely different build.prop.

anywhoo. I'm starting it all now. let's hope it all goes well and i'll update u guys if i make any progress.

I know this sounds silly but it would really help if you guys can give me names of some protected paid for apps and some 2.2+apps like flash 10.3 for me to test if it has worked.

THanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
yes it will
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
ok errm. just flashed telus lite and having a bit of an issue reading text cos of the theme. im trying to get the stock theme on it to carry on
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
My Milestone doesn't boot a TelusLite rom. If I "restore" or flash it, my device shows a bootloader screen and I have to flash 2.1 again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HO!NO!:
You have my benediction ;)

If you have question feel free to ask it will be my pleasure to try to help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Stop. Not possible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] josecabre:
+1 I love your idea! go on and make a great rom!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
why not. cos i got the market to show flash but then when im trying to run apps they fc. i'm guessing this is probably because the phone actually thinks it's runnign gb so when the apps starts it runs it as if the phone is gb when it's eclair which i'm guessing is the reason for the FCs
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
are u using nandroid to restore it. cos telus lite is a nandroid backup and u need open recovery on your milestone to run it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
HO!NO!, the biggest issue im having is that when i simply copy over the build.prop from ur cm7 rc11 rom the phone starts to think it's gb. when i go into about phone it actually says 2.3.4 :L

Is the market checking for the device footprint in the build.prop cos if that's the case cant i simply copy the line which contains the footprint over from ur rom to the telus lite build.prop and hypothetically this should work.

right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Yes you can also uninstall Windows 7 and install MS-Dos 6.22: you can play then Strike Commander at about 653 FPS!

eheh just joking.. it's a good idea but I think that if Froyo and GB implemented some features, you need more ram/power to use them.. so even in a Eclair kernel, you will lose performances on normal use.

Btw with FroyoMOD, supercharged and just a bit overclocked (600Mhz), I have better performances than Eclair at 1Ghz. Maybe you just need to tweak the phone depending on your usage!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scholbert:
~~~~haunting the ghost of mystery~~~~

Hi,

i started reading the thread yesterday.... today i realized that you seem to follow this weird path.

I agree with some aspects and i'm aware about the pro's of Eclair, but a well set up Froyo system could do the job as well.

From my experience Ginger is a bit too much blown up for MS1.

Let me point out a serious suggestion ;)

You'd better spend some time on studying the possibilities how to tweak Android OS in general, learn about the basics on system services, memory/power consumption, etc.

You'll benefit a lot and get a better understanding about the Android OS (and versions).

IMHO, it simply does not make sense to backport some of the latest apps to work with Eclair and to step back in time.

O.k. enough said, don't waste your time.

If you do, good luck :D

@puffo81: Well said!

scholbert
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
literally what i am trying to achieve is the 2.2 market on 2.1. That's pretty much it. maybe update the gmail client and some other system apps. nothing more. telus lite is amazing enough...it's got an almost INSTANT boot up

so basically to sum up what i am attempting to do is cut out everything in froyo which is slow and onnly update essential apps-market, maybe application manager and that kinda stuff. I though it would be easier to add some updated system apps onto eclair rather than cutting a load of stuff out of froyo
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
One question, after flashing by rsd lite the GOT sbf 2.2.1, it's also nevessary to apply from openrecovery the various fix or I can directly apply the Rom update?

Thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Just flash the rom. Dont use any fixes on AOR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
Hi Rrohanjs, I've find the cronosginger 1.4.0 in the official website but I don't find pcphobics mods.

Where can I find it?

TY
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
After logging in, it is in the cronos modication thread under milestone forum.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Just curious......if so, will the app requiring 2.2 or above (or relaying on the functions from Froyo/GB) be able to run on 2.1 Froyo which the functions from Froyo/GB have been chopped out?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
yea they should do. but that's also the issue. by chaing the build.prop the apps i run all run in "2.2 mode" (i know it's rather crude but it's the best way to explain it) which results in force closes. i'm trying to work around this issue right now
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HO!NO!:
If i understand your goal is to run new market on 2.1?

Market from 2.1 was not able to be update without full wipe the phone back in my old rom.

But if you try to have flash it will never work core system not make for using it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
are you sure because i managed to get flash 10.1 to show up on the market and i downloaded and installed ok. just never got to test it :L
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
thank you to everybody helping me!

I've succefully installed Cronos Ginger 1.4 and now I give it try!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
It is CGXMM 1.5.0 now
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
ok errm just to let everyone know this cannot work as kabaldan said.

here's why-if you mod the build.prop to convince the market your phone is froyo then when you run an app it runs it as if your phone was froyo causing an issue (FC)

there may be a fix but it's beyond me.

sorry all, i thought it would have been an awsome idea but it just can't be done right now. maybe i'd have better luck using a froyo rom as a base and making it as lite as possible rather than trying to make newer apps work with eclair
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
Really? I've finished now to flash 1.4 :(

Inviato dal mio Milestone usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
just flash to tthe new one without wiping. u wont loose ur data
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] FrostyWolf359:
I think thats a great idea. Get a stock froyo rom, and optimize the heck out of it. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Or just download TheFroyoMod.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
Bah! Try to install from market the application MyTracks and see how it never open just crash!

Other people have the same problem with other apps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] josecabre:
ohh man! this is what im looking for, froyo and ginger are not the best for our phones, when will we have the honor of test your rom? sorry for my english
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] imzkng:
For a light fast Froyo rom with memory to spare, I suggest ShadowModBR 0.9.16 available here http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr/downloads/list

I have been using this for sometime now, and have made some tweaks and changes to my liking. Unfortunately, it is no longer under development. I honestly haven't found anything that runs better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] josecabre:
is this the link of the rom?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] imzkng:
I am running it now. I have tried all the rom's and I keep coming back to smbr's froyo rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
smbr's froyo rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] javachris:
Oh my God! So many posts and nobody cleared anything up.

Here it goes:

Eclair 2.1 = API Level 7

Froyo 2.2 = API Level 8

Apps that run on froyo and use the diffs between Level 8 and Level 7 will instantly crash with errors such as NoSuchMethodError(in case of API updates) or ClassNotFoundError(in case of API additions).

To be plain, API Level 8(Froyo) has functionality(classes, methods, resources) that API Level 7 (Eclair 2.1) does not have. The app generates an uncaught error and crashes. It does not just fail to use that functionality. It's like your brain telling you you're drinking a glass of water when in fact you're drinking gasoline. You choke and go bye bye. Same with the app. Apps do not check to see if an API is available. If the system reports an API level, then it will try to use it and crash.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
i figured that out which is why i stopped trying :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] josecabre:
so you stop with this? or you are going to post a rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
for 2.1 froyo yes i have stopped it. I was thinking of optimising froyo but then that's basically what luca done with froyomod so yea im not releasing a rom.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ukon:
Thanks :) This seems to work like it is supposed to
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:
I'm making a new script, because this isn't working for everybody!

Just Stay tuned ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ulissescg:
its working on u8150 great job!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:
You're welcome ulissescg ;)

If you want, thank me clicking on the Thanks button under my first post, thank you!

Anyway...I cannot do further tests because my smartphone is blocked (Ideos U8150) on the Stock Vodafone ROM and the bootloader does not work, so if the script doesn't work for you, follow these steps:

- Extract the .exe file (You need WinRar I think)

- Take the .apk files

- Send it to the phone

- Install it manually from the phone

This should work ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:
Script updated!

Now it will works on all Android Devices!!

If you find any BUG please report it here, so I can fix it ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:

Any bug?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jack Barrett:
Can't wait to try it. What exactly does this script? I mean how it is working :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:
It works like that:

-It makes the BackupMarket folder in C:\

-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (which is in /data/app/ and this file could not exist!) in the phone to the C:\BackupMarket folder

-It copies the file Vending.apk (whic is in /system/app/ this file exist in every devices) from the device to C:\BackupMarket

-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (whic is included in the script) to the /data/app/ directory into the device

-It copies the file Vending.apk (whis is included in the script) to the /system/app/ directory in the device

-The script will reboot the phone.

This is how it works, if you wants the source-code, don't hesitate to contact me in PM or at francesco.malink@gmail.com ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jack Barrett:
Thanks for the explanation, tried it and works great. Thanks for this script mate. :-)

BTW the script was downloaded a 191 times until now :D Thanks people!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpitera:
No joy...

Doesn't work for me - creates the directory and then sits there, doing nothing. No files copied. Debug is on, USB Storage off (also tried with it on). Unarchived and ran ADB in archive with "devices" - nothing shows as connected so that's probably why.

Will try again at home where I did the original root - maybe ADB is not working here. Will update later.

Hi,

it isn't working for me either. tried everything i can think off.

any help

thanks scott
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScumpinatoS:
You have no ADB Drivers in your PC. I'm 100% sure of that, and now I will explain to you why is that:

The script controls that your phone is connected to the PC and that is correctly running with ADB. If the phone isn't working fine with ADB the script will NOT run until the phone is correctly running with ADB.

In english, that means that your ADB Drivers aren't installed properly :)

Let me know if the script works on your main PC ;)

Can You explain a little bit more your problem? Thank you ;)
