I was on the stock kernel for awhile with Ken's Alien ROM. Battery life wasn't great, then switched to Faux's kernel. Didn't notice much of an improvement. Im trying out Kholk's kernel, which has gotten good reviews for battery life. This is my first full charge on it, so we'll see. Im currently at 85% after about 3 hours of moderate to heavy usage.

Hello everyone! New member here.

Just installed Virtuous 2.0 on my DZ 2.3.3 (downgraded, rooted and upgraded) and I realize that I now do not have access to Google Maps. I've tried Market Enabler, and none of the settings allow me to download Google Maps again. From the PC, it says it's not compatible for my device, and from my phone Maps isn't even available through search.

Could anyone help me?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
I'd try looking around for a flashable gapps file somewhere that will work with your rom. Also - unless you've been attacked there before, i'd recommend asking this same question in the thread for the rom you are using! Others (who don't look in this forum) may know exactly what is wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
I resorted to downloading the .APK from some shady site. I have not reached 10 posts yet and thus cannot post in the Development forums ): Thanks anyway! Thought Maps should have been available for any device on any ROM ):
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
It is if you just flash the appropriate GAPPS package.

how can i get BLN MOD on stock rom ? (KPH) which files should i edit to get it work ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
cfroot b80 should give u bln support, but only for kpn.

or u can just flash coderon v2x-2b and get bln out of the box.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hackdima:
do it not work on kph with cf root?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ketut.kumajaya:
1. Manually apply neldar's patch to Ace kernel source, make a lot of adaptation and then compile. Repack a new initramfs using the new compiled kernel

2. Compile lights library from AOSP base on neldar's lights code

3. Make modification to services.jar base on neldar's services.jar patch

4. Make an update package to apply all above modification to device.

You need BLN Pro app for fully working BLN (blink, schedule, etc)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ketut.kumajaya:
The official CF-Root-S5830 work on both KPH and KPN.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
thanks for the correction :D:D besides, ur the dev, u should know better than me :p
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
With all the information I got in this community I've cooked up my own ROM. I decided to share it, maybe someone would like it.

I am no dev, so this isn't actually a true custom ROM.

What I've done:

I've flashed the latest Gingerbread leak

I rooted it

I installed Defy Bootmenu

I installed Busybox

I installed GApps (including new Talk with voice/video chat - working)

I deleted BLUR social capabilities

I haven't done anything fancy, such as overclocking/undervolting, multitouch enablers etc. If you want those, you should use MS2Ginger from Walter79... Or you can install those options by yourself offcourse :)

If you'd like the stock Gingerbread ROM from Moto, but without the "social" capabilities, I've got this option for. I'm not exactly planning on supporting it too much (Gonna take a holiday and preparing for final year of study...)

However I might try to get rid of annoying bugs if they occur. The Euro key doesn't work by the way. I know that but I forget to fix it every time :D

As far as I can tell everything works fine on my UK Milestone 2.

Download:

10-09-2011: v3

24-08-2011: v2.1 (With undervolt)

24-08-2011: v2

13-08-2011: v1

If you're already on Rooted Gingerbread, you could only restore the system.img from the download.

By the way: even though it isn't necessary, I suggest a cache wipe from Motorola Recovery after you've installed the Nandroid. If you don't, the first boot might take a while and some compatibility issues might occur, as this ROM has Blur completely disabled.

Thanks to walter79, r2beta0, dangpzanco, Endless7 and everyone else who helped me cook this up :)

Btw: Everything you do is on own risk :D Have fun!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
Thanks for this rom :D

Have you edited build.prop to properly deactivate blur?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
I think you don't need to do a full data wipe (even when upgrading from froyo), a Dalvik cache wipe is just fine. Wipe some buggy apps data if they are force closing or reinstall them.

@Milestone 2 (Finnaly on Gingerbread!)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
How much free ram are you getting with this kind of roms?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] imakdevries:
Will i be able to restore my nandroid data backup from the 2.2 rom?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
@will5: Yes, I used the Build.prop edit to deactivate Blur. Most of the Blur Social apps also have been removed, except for exchange, yahoo and e-mail.

With a clean install you'll get to choose which of those accounts you want to add.

A clean install used about 150MB after boot. Right now I've got 15 apps installed and now it uses about 210MB of RAM

@imakdevries: You can try! Booting might take a while in that case and you might find that some apps/configuration doesn't work well, but that shouldn't be the case.

If it doesn't work, you can do a factory reset, after which your phone will boot this ROM clean.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] PetrusDLX:
I'm in ms2ginger

How do I install this?

Will it change the framework-res.apk?

I really unlike the ms2ginger framework-res.apk

Thanks

Sent from my Milestone 2 with GingerBread
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I have added an installation guide to the OP.

As for your question about framework-res.apk: this ROM will completely overwrite MS2Ginger, including framework-res.apk.

It will revert back to the way Motorola intended (sans Blur Social capabilities offcourse ;) )
[Milestone 2 Android Development] PetrusDLX:
so can I just restore the system.img without flash the froyo and data wipe?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Emacore:
Thank you so much. I will flash this rom to my m2

@tapatalk
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
Any way to get more languages on this ROM?

Thanks :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Maybe if you find the correct locale files on MS2Ginger Beta 5...

@Milestone 2 (Finnaly on Gingerbread!)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
I didnt understand pretty well the way morelocale works. It only shows english and chinese, but you can enter PT, FR, SP and languages changes (partially). it's the proper way to use morelocale or im missing something?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Emacore:
I upgrade from froyo... I don't need to flash chinese leak before?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
No, you have to flash the GB fixed SBF after restoring the nandroid.

Edit: You don't need to do a factory reset, just wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

@Milestone 2 (Finnaly on Gingerbread!)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Emacore:
hahahahaha late... I did the factory reset... for now 0 problems... Of course, thank you for the help :D

[Milestone 2 Android Development] EVEALEX62:
thanks for your answer :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] PetrusDLX:
use titanium to backup your apps

it's easy and fast(more and less)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] yurifranzoni:
Yeah, I already use that app, but it does not restore all system settings, like widget positioning, system accounts... and when you restore your apps, it's like you were reinstalling them, one by one, and that's a bit boring.

But anyway, I did a factory reset from this ROM, reinstalled and set up everything again. Looks like the FC's are gone for now, but I'm gonna test this for a little longer to make sure of that.

Thanks!

Try titanium pro is much better than the free one

With all those custom ROMs available now, is there a way to replace Milestone 2 "contacts.app" with the vanilla Android 2.2.2 one? How would I do that and where would I get the vanilla App file from? Cause I really would like to sort my contacts by last name and this only seems to be possible in a blurless version of the stock ROM.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
It is possible to that... At least mine does :p

In contacts app menu: second button on top (view options or something like that) and the second and third option. The second one sorts on last name the third one also displays it as lastname, first name...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
w0ndersp00n, are you can make a patch for 1% step battery?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I don't know where/what I need to edit for that. I haven't got too much time on my hands to figure it out right now.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
i am using CM7 and see this in the build.prop:

# use 1% battery steps

ro.product.use_charge_counter=1

can it be done by simply adding this to build.prop?

or need some others code as well...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] hoangminh:
Camera is very good, but it was FC panorama shooting. The problem is half the message is the name of the listing for the phone number in contacts without the country code
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
No, it requires editing the framework (I think) and replacing some files. I know there are patches for it floating around, but most of them make this ROM FC'ing even before you've entered the PIN.

There's also such a modification to make lower brightness possible, but also requires editing the framework (AFAIK). But again, same problem as stated earlier.

Official GB is on the corner, so maybe when it's officially released more people might start finding solutions and mods.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
One more question :p

Is the SMS region code bug fixed in this rom? This is one of the criteria I am very concern on China GB...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
No it isn't... But a new leak is on it's way, so who knows :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Y_Yan_C:
if i TitaniumBackupeed everything, and restored it after installing this rom, does that mean my phone will be just like it used to be?

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

oh, and whats the benchmark scores?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
No, not completely. Blur will not work anymore. Other apps and data might work as before.

...and benchmark scores... who cares? I don't. Most benchmarks aren't even reliable. I just want a stable system that feels snappy for me and has the right looks. The new Motorola Gingerbread has that for me.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] jetbruceli:
great rom, hate blur, is your sbf current or is there another one?

I gave this phone to my wife and she loves the gb update because the multitouch seems more responsive.

I would rather use your rom versus any other for her cuz yours seems very stable and snappy!

Thanks for the hard work!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] c0nvict:
trying now

EDIT: it gives me error md5 mismatch

Any chance of creating an update.zip for this rom?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
The md5 mismatch has something to do with your version of CWM. I don't know it exactley anymore, but I suggest installing it with CWM 3.x (included with D2 Bootstrapper)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
D2 Bootstrapper is CWM2.x

Bootmenu update.zip is CWM3.x

Bootmenu app is CWM4.x/5.x

[Milestone 2 Android Development] diavolobianco:
hi guys how works this rom? any bug? is possible install it on stock gingerbread 2.3.4?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I haven't had really a lot of time lately. It's still my final year of study... You can however still install the current version. If you flashed UK GB, this Nandroid should work. There aren't a lot of differences between the UK and CH variant. The biggest difference is the amount of supported languages.

Furthermore: as tezet is developing CM9 my guess would be that we'd all be helping to get ourselves some Ice Cream Sandwich ASAP by testing his ROM :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] diavolobianco:
mine is italian upgrade it should work?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Yes, any European GB kernel should work.

Anyone have a working link for this rom please
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
About translations; walter79 indeed made it possible to translate apps in his ROM MS2Ginger.

It works just fine. I just haven't had got the time/made the effort to discover how translation works. If someone can help me with that I might consider adding more languages.

I guess I need to deodex before adding any language, but that's a possible issue for the future.

As I'm on holiday this week, I'll probably respond to this thread, but nothing more :)

About morelocale: You should Add Locale. Language in my case would be nl. Country NL. After adding that, most apps with Dutch language pack, such as Google Apps will be Dutch. So right now I have a partial English, partial Dutch ROM. Somewhere there's some Chinese tucked away, but most of it is hidden.

After instalation this and filxedsbf on my Milestone 2 from Vodafone DE, GSM didn't work, so i used this

And now it works perfectly. Thanks.

If you discovering lauguage translation, it's possible to add Czech language?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I guess that's possible. But I think the whole thing needs to be translated with/by the community (I don't speak Czech :D).

I think it's quite easy: I need to deodex the ROM and upload the system files. Then I need to get a simple method to make everyone translate it into his language.

This should be possible with APK Edit Tool. But I'll think about that in about a week or so :) First holiday :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Haitala:
Won't boot after flashing.

After flashing this 'ROM', my phone will no longer boot. It gets to the 'first' Motorola M logo (pre-blue light) and just hangs there. I can't seem to get any response from it. Using volume down in an attempt to get into CWM does absolutely nothing.

Does anyone know of a solution? I hope this 'ROM' hasn't left me with a very expensive brick.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Haitala:
Solved?

Ah, I managed to get into the stock bootloader using power + volume up + camera.

I'll try to revert back to the stock 2.2.2 ROM from there.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
You can't simply upgrade from 2.2.2 to this ROM!

After flashing this Nandroid, you must reboot in Bootloader mode and flash the FixedSBF. Get it here: http://www.multiupload.com/KL6LSHIRCS

I updated the instructions in the OP to reflect this.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Haitala:
Still some unresolved problems...

Thank you for the response.

I read your original post:

I'm unclear how you're meant to flash the 'fixedSBF'. If you could be more explicit in your instructions I'd really appreciate it. Just pretend i'm an idiot. :rolleyes::confused:

Thanks.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
You're supposed to flash it the same way as you flashed your stock FroYo SBF. But the FixedSBF needs to be flashed as final step. The FixedSBF contains the updated bootloader amongst some other stuff to boot this ROM.

So; when your phone wasn't booting you got into the Bootloader. You shoudv'e flashed the FixedSBF at this moment. After that the phone will boot, which might take a while.

You might want to check your battery and data settings! This new ROM has a feature, which makes it possible to block heavy data, such as downloads from a browser while connected to a mobile network. It will start that data traffic as soon as a WiFi connection is made.

You can disable it (should be disabled be default). Don't know if it'll fix it, but I assume it will.
