Hi everyone,

I just noticed a problem with this smooth rom: I'm a long time Go Launcher EX user, and wanted to try ADW so I bought the original ADW launcher EX from the market, but it won't work.

I have already cleared its cache, installed the free version, removed it, but it still doesn't work.

Whenever I touch its icon the screen just freezes until I press the home button, returning to Go Launcher EX.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
is there will be a 720P recording fix ever ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] BluPix:
This zip can't work, because motorola uses different file. But i made really tinny, simple application. http://gps.nemec.co.uk/PowerGPSUpdater.apk . It's my first Android app, but it works. After connecting phone to charger/usb it start to search position using gps (you must have enabled gps) for 10 minutes. So your GPS have updated almanach, it should start quickly when you need it. And it run only when you charge phone, so it didn't drain battery.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Thanks man, I'll try and post the result.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
didn't work BluPix, tks anyway.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] BluPix:
Don't uninstall it now, everything in "gps cache world" have effects in days. Keep testing it.

Is it okey to still CM7 from argen2stone 3 right? Since A2S is 2.3.6 UK and CM7 2.3.7...

Or i need to install other sbf before? thanks!

Hi, is there likely to be a fix for the following issues anytime soon?

720P recording is not working

ALT lock does not work
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lucasdeeiroz:
what about the CM7.2?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
I think the project isn't finished (the known gps, 720p camera issue and other possible tweaks). Since the goal of the project is to have a rom working a 100% and merged into the official CM what can I do to help?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
if you are a developer,then you can try to get 720P to this rom (I think it's a tough possibility)...or better you can try on CM 9 ...

Endless7 and some other active developers are not active on MS2 right now...now all are waiting for someone to get involved on MS2...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Really want to get involved on MS2 ROM development but I don't know how to begin. I've made some apps for university and I'm making my TCC (Final Project) based on BI applications right now...nothing to do with ROM dev.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scottyn:
would be keen too, but dont really know where to get started...

Also, what version of this doesnt suffer from the wifi bugs?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Even stock roms have wifi bugs with 802.11n WPA2-PSK connections.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Izzysoft:
I've read you can substitute this by pressing ALT twice. As I have not yet flashed CM on my MS², I didn't check that out - but it's certainly worth a try!

Hi all, i hope i am not repeating this question, i have had a good look around and can't find my answer!..

I had a bit of a failure while trying out some new custom ROMs and the only way to get my phone back was to flash the sbf;

[Milestone 2 Android Development] MaxK47:
You can apply custom ROMs, but for some of them (MIUI and CM7 by tezet) you need to follow this tutorial:

If you want another ROM, read that ROM's thread and see how you should apply it, the procedure might be a little different

My friend asked me to install this rom on his European milestone 2 with stock android 2.2. Can u give me some instructions on how to do it and what to watch out for?

CM7 - Light sensor settings

Today I finally found a satisfying setting for the light sensor (see screenshot) and I thought it was worth sharing, since the default setting was very irresponsive for me.

If you want to try it, go to Settings > CyanogenMod > Display > Automatic Backlight then tick "Use custom".

Then enter "Edit other levels", Load defaults (this should limit your levels to 5), scroll to the end of the screen, Set number of levels, select 7 and then set the values according to the screenshot.

You will notice that some values are maxed at 254 instead of 255. This is because it seems that 255 might cause issues.

Other settings:

Window length: 10s

Reset Threshold: 400 lux

Sample interval: 1s

Allow light decrease: Checked

Decrease hysteresis: 50%

after flash..

after I flash CM7 on my milestone 2 the phone remains with black screen after Motorola logo...and not boot...what can I do..?

I try to flash MILS2_U6_2.4.24_ but the phone don't start up...the phone work only with MILS2_U6_4.1-22 how I instal CM7 on this..?

Sorry for my English
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
1) You have to use ROM with GB kernel. So in case of CM7, use this http://android.loicg.net/roms/cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3.zip

If you flash ROM with incorrect kernel, the black screen appears, like in your case.

2) You can't go simply back form GB SBF to Froyo SBF. Once you flash GB SBF, you can't go back without downgrade process - so that's the reason, why you see black screen, when flashing MILS2_U6_2.4.24_

Hope it's clear :)

Ok, once again.

1) Download http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...LE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz

2) flash it via RSDLite

3) root it via superoneclick

5) install bootmenu

6) flash http://temp.anonymouz.eu/cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3.zip via CWM

7) done.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] cosmy032:
so

I've tried all types of flashing and so, yet I get same black screen after rebooting my phone

not sure if any of my files are wrong, yet I don't think so

I've tried all I can think of, all custom roms and stuff, but no result

I can get to root my phone, install bootstraper then bootmenu, wiped all data and cache but while installing the mod, it loads the installation and after last reboot I get a blank screen with no options to get back in bootmenu or recovery

it's rather my fault or not, but I can't install it, not even with your fast help from post above

any tips left?

cheers and ty ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Hmm.. this is really strange. I know, that argentina (and maybe some other - like Brazil? But not sure - maybe just argentina one) SBF is un-rootable. But you are saying, that you have rooted it successfully.. So...

Hmm, ok, one last try.

1) install UK GB SBF (linked in my last post)

2) root it via superoneclick

3) install droid2bootstrap

4) install bootmenu 0.8.6 from my attachment

5) install bootmenu 1.1.0 from my attachment

6) try to install this CM9 http://code.google.com/p/cm9-milest...ail?name=CM9-NIGHTLY-120602-milestone2-eu.zip

(maybe you will have to wipe data/cache after flashing SBF or after installing CM9, but that's the thing you probably already know...)

... I flashed CM9 that way last time - when my M2 came from warranty service with GB kernel (SBF) in it (so the classic "froyo way" did not worked as last time, before I've sent it to warranty repair)

Good luck and let me know if it helped. I will hope someone else will have better clue if it will not help.

Well, looking for a solution I found this: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/39718-workaround-for-small-datadata-partition/

Had this awesome rom for months (upgraded to ics last week), but that problem never occurred to me.

No, it doesn't. You need to downgrade first (being on CM10 or CM9). Thx ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
Well, I'm in 21-02 version, and I presume it's a froyo kernel. In this case, considering the change of title ("GB"), maybe I have to flash GB kernel first (just kernel, not cm9 or cm10) ? Anybody can help-me ?

PS: sorry for repeat the same question...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
No, you don't need to flash anything else, just download the .zip, apply it on custom recovery, and wipe cache and dalvik.

The "GB" title it's because it android 2.3, "gingerbread", but it's still based on froyo kernel.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] PatrickDziura:
I flashed from CM10 and I got a Black Screen!. It does not enter in recovery =/
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
That's because you used CM10 with GB kernel and flashed CM7 whichi uses Froyo...you should have downgraded first...if you cant enter recovery...flash sbf using rsd lite and start from scratch

I have to flash the original, do the root, and do the downgrade then install the CM7?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Have you upgraded to official BR/AR GB? If yes, then you have BL=4, and AFAIK you can't downgrade if you have not upgraded to official BR/AR GB then flash EU GB sbf and root your phone install bootmenu

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Glad to know it worked out for you
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
Megalith, in my case, it's was possible just flash cm7 directly, and I was in cm10... why?

PS: I never upgrade my original Froyo kernel at Motorola's site
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Probably, because you can use CM10 with Froyo kernel(since tezet started developing it for both Froyo and GB kernels), although you may encounter some bugs....that's why you have to be careful, about which kernel you have before flashing roms...and getting black screen or screen with Moto/Google logo is sign of wrong kernel...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
I'm sure, I flashed cm10 and cm9 gb kernel, not froyo. I flashed a file provided by tezet at first post and, after this, flashed cm10.

I believe tezet's cm7 has froyo kernel inside. I could flash cm7 directly, without any problem... (I even restored a nandroid backup!)

Well, I'm sorry if I confused anyone, I just gave the instructions that worked for me (more than once)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
Update ota?? :D

[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
Considering there are only ~50 users of the most recent versions of this ROM, I don't think I will spend any more time for other stuff than maintenance. Sorry. It's only a small fraction of users who can't downgrade AND prefer to use CM7.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Can someone please compare the speed and smoothness of CM7 vs CM10?

I'm thinking of downgrade to CM7, since CM10 seems quite slow for me (not laggy, but not brighting fast as the M2 HW is not that great for JB).

(I suppose CM7 is noticeably faster, than CM10.. but it will be nice to hear this from someone, who have already done this downgrade)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
For me, Cm7 is faster than cm10. And in the last version, the battery is much better than previous version.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] _anarion_:
Same here. I tried CM10 for a couple weeks, but frankly the phone was unusable :( Waiting several seconds for opening the app drawer or switching between apps, launcher frequently killed, etc. I had only a few services installed (tasker, screebl, keep wifi, call recorder, swiftkey) but I had over 200 apps installed in total. Don't know, maybe it was my SD card needing a format. After coming back to CM7 all is buttery smooth, the same services and apps installed, and ~180 MB RAM free, while on CM10 is was around 10, 20 sometimes 0 MB.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pponto:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
CM10 is for GB kernel, but CM7 is for Froyo kernel, so you probably tried to flash CM7 on GB kernel - which is wrong and thats the reason, why your phone does not boot now.

You need to flash SBF file via RSDLite.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
For everyone, who wants to have CM7 for GB kernel:

I have successfully managed to downgrade from UK GB kernel to CH GB kernel which allowed me to install this CM7.

It was little tricky, but I have finally done it.

1) install UK GB SBF

2) root it, install bootstrap, install bootmenu

3) flash downgrade SBF from downgrade_for_bl=3.rar archive from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

--- at this moment you should have CH GB kernel ---

4) wipe data/factory reset in CWM

5) install CM7 - this build http://code.google.com/p/cm-milesto...7-120901-2123-NIGHTLY-Milestone2.zip&can=2&q= (for some reason it did not work with latest build for me)

... I have tried to flash downgrade SBF straightly over CM10 ROM and install CM7 then, but it did not work. I have also tried to flash CM7 and then downgrade SBF, but this method did not work either. I have tried several other methods and neither work - so maybe somebody had some problems too.

If you want to have CM7 on your GB kernel, just follow my guide and it will work.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
So you have CM7 on CH GB kernel (2.6.32.9-g5db7937)?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
I should have the older CH GB kernel...

[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
Before CM10 I had the froyo kernel, then I flashed the one suggested by tezet (marked as ch gb). Do you think I can flash straightly cm7?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
I'm not sure, but do a nandroid backup and go for it. You can end up on bootloop or in blackscreen at worst...

Nothing, that could not be fixed with RSDLite and SBF file :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ebioman:
Sounds great, would you saythat the increase in speed (smothness or whatsoever) is worth the effort ?

Just found it a little bit tricky with this device to get the CM10 working and wonder whether I want to go through all that stuff again :confused:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Came from CM10 and must say that this ROM (CM7) is the fastest one I ever had on my M2. The speed is totally awesome and if you want to compare to CM10... When you do anything on CM10, you have to wait long seconds, until it open (like dialer) - but there it is instant.. You start it and it starts smoothly and instantly.

Also the battery seems to last longer (but this one could be subjective).

I would recommend to try it out for all, who finds CM10 slow. Since the M2 with CM7 seems as the new phone (in term of speed).

Problem with radio after reboot

Hi,

I've been having the strangest problem where my phone goes into a phone process crash loop every time I reboot it..

When it gets to this state, I can't use the phone unless I go into Airplane mode which stops the looping, but leaves me without a phone anyway.

The only way I found to get out of it was to go into airplane mode, then reboot, then go out of airplane mode.

This has to be done when unplugged otherwise going into and out of airplane mode seems to not work at all.

This problem started after I tried out the CM10 ROM (also by Tezet) and found it to be too heavy and battery hungry compared to this one.

When I went back, I did so through the SBF + re-rooting + reinstalling the ROM with full wipes.

I think the problem started right away, even before I restored my apps.

I tried changing basebands, didn't help...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] PhatUgly:
What CM7 version do you use? I installed an older version that was recommended a few posts back by Anonymous_ after flashing the downgrade sbf first and then flashed the most recent one afterwards.

Did you stick to his procedure?
