I just updated to the latest build :)

-Camera indeed works fine now. Quality is I think the same as in stock rom.

-I manually changed keyboard layout to Azerty, as I used to with early endless's cm7 builds.

-Baseband swicher is not included, but I think it would work if installed from an apk.

-Touchscreen sensitivity is really better when coming from Endless's CM7 :D .

Tezet, do you think it would be possible to have orthographic correction with the hardware keyboard ?

In Settings>Language>Integrated Keyboard there are such options, but they don't have any effect. (They never had any, even on stock rom)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
What about battery charge (in compare with cm7 from Endless7) - if you try to be objective? :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] patton82:
Endless CM7 quadrant score is unreliable, there are no textures in planet scene (planet is a white globe without details), seems like a trick to get a higher score.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
I normally get about 69 on the planets - on MIUI and overclocked to 1.3

Quadrant scores for me are

Miui - 2308

Cm7 - 2523

It seems generally quite laggy though so I just might jump back to MIUI. Not crazy laggy but enough to annoy me :p. BUT I'll go test out n64oid and see if it runs smoother on this. That might make it a winner for me :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n3ptun3:
It might be unreliable, but not because of the textures. They are definitely not white here. In fact, there is no clipping on the little moon, compared to the official roms. Other than that, the results seems about the same.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] WongJames:
720p 3gp video decoding is working!!:D

It is so nice:D:D

And the battery can also charge to >4200mV!!! ;)

have been missing 4200mV for a long time:D

but the jumping is quite serious:eek:

will try to calibrate the battery to see if it will improve:)

Also the auto backlight seems changing so sudden, prefer graduate change ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Endless7:
Good job!

BTW,is there any working repo,beside a personal one?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
@endless, have you tried to boot your cm7 port with 2nd init and kernel from this build?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Endless7:
Haven't. But I don't think it will boot.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] will5:
I think the same, but there arent so many differences in files.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
I'll try to respond to all questions.

Regarding the 3D benchmarks. If the higher results in Endless's build on Quadrant are only a result of cheating, I won't do anything about it. It is pointless unless you are masturbating yourself with higher FPS ;-) It may possibly change if I switch to GB baseline (kernel and bpsw).

alexyie: But I need to know if this rom will work with asia baseband, or does this include the baseband changer?

You may simply install the baseband switcher from APK. I will update the first post.

harisit2005 How`s the still cam on this rom...i mean is there any quality difference on this...?

I don't really know, I don't use camera at all. It is probably as bad as the stock one :-)

momus87: Tezet, do you think it would be possible to have orthographic correction with the hardware keyboard ?

In Settings>Language>Integrated Keyboard there are such options, but they don't have any effect. (They never had any, even on stock rom)

I'm sorry, that's a global CM issue, and as for now I'm focused only on providing fully functional Milestone port.

DreadPirateDan: It seems generally quite laggy though so I just might jump back to MIUI. Not crazy laggy but enough to annoy me . BUT I'll go test out n64oid and see if it runs smoother on this. That might make it a winner for me

You're probably reffering to laggy launcher. CM7 default ADW is indeed very laggy, I hate it if you ask me, but I won't change it. It is supossed to be a CM7 port. Just install your favourite one.

WongJames: And the battery can also charge to >4200mV!!!

have been missing 4200mV for a long time

but the jumping is quite serious

Also the auto backlight seems changing so sudden, prefer graduate change

Sorry to say, but the battery charging and voltage measurement issues are enclosed in Moto's proprietary, closed source modules and there's nothing we can do about it. If that will make you happier, it's the same on the stock rom and that's why they have made a 10% steps.

As for backlight, you may customize it to your liking in settings. I don't really see anything bad in current settings... I would say it's good it adapts quickly.

Endless7: Good job!

BTW,is there any working repo,beside a personal one?

Thank you! I will move to an organisation repo, so that more people could be involved in this ROM.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] jimbo0815:
would be great if you can costumize the vibration.. I dont likt it so hard and rough like the default MS2 .. you or endless already costumized it once..

but endless is gone (!?)

and u are working on cm7 and mostly cm9, i think..

so if anyone would tell me how to edit the power of that ****ing vibration, he will be my hero... and also save my battery, for all those SMS and whatsapp messages.. (and no, i wont deactivate the full vib.)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] smuller00:
Works with GB-Downgrade

I've installed on GB-Stock-ROM after flashing Endless Kernel-Downgrade. WiFi, Data, GPS, Call etc works really fine. Great!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Dear Milestone 2 owners!

I am considering buying a used M2. As I can see there are 2 things that aren't working:

720p recording and Alt lock. So my questions:

- 720p recording: is it possible to overcome this limitation in the future, or is this a necessary unsolvable side effect of this particular android sys version?

- alt lock unusable: same as above + how are the users entering a long sequence of numbers for example, then?

Thanks in advance.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
1 imho it is very unlikely.

2 just press ALT twice (or keep it pressed) ;)

If the price isn't insane, it's still a great phone. If you can see it yourself, you'll notice its top quality building construction and solidity.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] :
It's up to you what ROM you use. 720p recording is looking unlikely. Imho that shouldn't be a major concern. It's a phone, not a bloody slr camera.

It can record videos that are of an acceptable quality but end of the day also note that the camera sensor is pretty crap so don't go expecting too much from it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] :
Agreed. It's a great phone phone with solid build quality. I would consider some of the newer phones out since the ms2 is starting to get old.

Personally, I purchased mine about a year ago and I also got a Motorola car dock which is a dream with dock detection. Only downside is the keyboard which had a double pressing issue. Though that can be fixed with a debounce app you can find on this thread or endless thread.

Out of interest is everyone still using the debounce app?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
I haven't had to use it for many, many months. I only needed it with the early customs (ie first 1-4 releases or something). However on stock I only got the bug when using face book. Otherwise it was fine
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Thanks all, for the input.

I know that this phone is not particularly new, however, I don't need much "horsepower", as I am looking for a phone with qwerty slide-out keyboard and a high-def screen - for remote desktop administration mainly. I am currently using a Galaxy Tab 7, but the lack of a physical keyboard kills me, and I'd rather sacrifice the bigger screen for a real keyboard.

As there aren't many HD qwerty phones in Europe, I think the M2 would be the perfect balance between price and performance for me. (I even considered the M1 as well, but the lack of iternal memory and that awful thumbstick made me say no to it - and the M3 is rare over here and costs too much).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
If you *need* a qwerty phone, apart from the future Milestone 4, I don't see any other decent ones...

SonyEriccson has the xperia pro which came out recently: hw-wise it's roughly the same as ours (better camera, less internal memory), but it's made of plastic ;) -> 330€

I am
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lisali:
I am not using the debounce app any more, the Tezet rom and the new version of Swiftkey work well to prevent double characters.

However, I am still having SERIOUS issues with GPS - @Tezet, will you kindly address these, as I have posted about the problem a number of times on the forum, and have not heard anything back. The main reason I use a smartphone is GPS - I get lost a LOT as I have a terrible sense of direction, so if that is not working, I'm screwed. And not in a good way. :)

Thanks! :_)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
I agree with you Lisali and, aparently, the last MIUI rom doesn't have this gps issue.

I don't know if you noticed but if you compare the camera, MIUI seems to have a better quality too.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] BluPix:
Same problems. With my GPS in MS2 and my sense of direction. I must switched to MS2Ginger.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
This is still on Froyo kernel right?? When is the GB kernel version gonna be out?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ajb12376:
Don't think there's likely to be one now that we can downgrade, thanks to Endless. I could easily be wrong, though
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Tezet said that there will be a GB kernel version and it will stay on GB after that. The main reason is that CH GB kernel is the best in terms of touch sensitivity.

I hope we see a CM7 version on CH GB kernel which we can use until we get a full functional CM9.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ajb12376:
Ah, right you are. I'd forgotten he said that.. I agree, that would be ideal, especially seeing as the Cyanogen team are struggling to find servers as well as building CM9.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] AragornPE:
Endless' CM7 is GB based. But I think tezet's is GB too, but not sure. Either are great. I was using Endless until the last days of my M2

Also, MS2Ginger can record on 720p because it's a debloated, deblurred stock ROM, while CM7 is a Custom ROM, although with a stock Kernel. There aren't open source camera drivers that allow 720p with this sensor, and since CM7 is OS, it's not possible to use Motorola's proprietary drivers

M3

Liberty v3.0
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
But the modules for the camera could be extracted from the stock and added into the CM distribution

they do not need to come with CM7 directly, in order to leave the distro fully open source

but drivers and libraries could be made available and a guide could be posted on the forum on how to add them to the rom
[Milestone 2 Android Development] nangu:
Same problem with the dock here. The first time I've had it was on the previous version, and it persists on latest.

Also, sometimes 3G stops working. Going to airplane mode and returning seems to be the only way to solve the problem, but sometimes the phone doesn't returns from airplane mode and reboot is needed.

The hardware keyboard is worst than before, in any application. MS2 debounce sometimes solves the double characters, but still having doubles and no characters at all when pressing keys. Someone can share his MS2 debounce settings to try?

A great rom anyway. Very fast and great battery life for me, and nice transitions and animations for this latest release.

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lazers:
This does work with the Milestone 2 UK version, right?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ajb12376:
Yep, as long as you're on the Froyo kernel.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lazers:
So I definitely shouldn't upgrade to GB because if I do I can't flash custom roms?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MaxK47:
If you want to keep changing roms, I'd advise that you don't update to official GB, although there's a tutorial to revert to Froyo kernel, but it doesn't work with all the ROMs (in some of the Brazilian and Argentinian versions there's no way to root the phone, and you can't go back).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
or just update to retail version
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Liori:
new version spotted!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tsmiler2:
@nangu:

here are my debounce settings. with them i won't have double characters any more:

Delay 15 ms

Settle 40 us

Poll 20 Active High Logic enabled

HW Debounce 1 Enabled

For a very long time i haven't had double chars

[Milestone 2 Android Development] w1ll1m:
I'm having touch screen problems, such as no response to gestures, swiping, and the capacitive buttons not registering. Usually a reboot fixes the problem but the problem seems to be occuring more frequently.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] agusjofre:
is the unlocking transition effect fixed ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Any news about gps fix?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Tezet: Should we expect a GB kernel based version in the future?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] nangu:
Thanks!

I'll try your settings.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
Yes, it seems it is.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
Yes, however I cannot give you any reliable ETA.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
What do you mean?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] minty95:
Hi

I'm seeling my milestone 2 as getting the new Xperia S, before I sell it can I reboot it back into the stock ROM ?, I'm running yours and the latest version 21-02-2012

Thanks
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Thanks. I did not ask for an ETA :D

I'll look forward for it. Just that the touch on CH GB kernel is really responsive n it will be nice to have a full functional CM with that kernel.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Using Google Maps Navigation the gps can't fix a point in the map. For example, yesterday I tried for 30 min and the only thing it shows is "Searching for GPS" which doesn't happen with stock roms (Brazil GB Retail 2.3.6, Froyo Retail...).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
You can just Flash stock sbf using Rsd lite
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lisali:
Same here. In the UK and TERRIBLE GPS since changing from Stock ROM. On stock, it fixed within 3 seconds. Now, it sometimes takes 15 minutes. :( :( :( Tezet, where are you???
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rasecrmz:
Use fasterfix from market and change it according to your location
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Now it's working. Tks man.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Hey,

I would like to give this rom a go, I just got a M2 with android 2.3.4, here is the info:

System Version: 64.1.22.A953.Retail.en.DE

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g7d2667a

Build number: MILS2_U6_4.1-22

Anyone knows wich android version this is? Can I downgrade this in order to install CM7?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] hawkstorm:
U mentioned 2.3.4? That would be Gingerbread. According to your kernel, your on the DE version.... I'm guessing your on the german version.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Umm, yeah, I figured as much - but is it possible to downgrade this current ROM? Which BL is it? Is it an OTA update? Etc...

Sadly I am unable to contact the previous owner to ask him.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] hawkstorm:
There's a thread on the development forum by endless or you can check the general forums for the conversation between me and another member when I was flashing my phone. There's a link that he linked a step by step. I think its in the questions thread. I'll try to link it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lisali:
Already tried that. Does not make any difference. :( :( :(

If I can't use GPS, I REALLY get lost!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
Weird. Yesterday it was working but today, no way. I tried to wipe data, dalvik cache, reinstall cm7 but didn't work at all. So...no gps.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rthisp:
Have you tried 'gps status' ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DrBytes:
Hmm.. I did away with this ROM for just that reason; GPS reception turned to crap and was unusable. I went back to stock and honestly haven't looked back, things work and work well.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lisali:
Hi - many thanks for the suggestion, I will try that and see how that goes! :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Hey,

I currently have Endless7's CM72 rom (had 2.3.4 DE rom originally), but would like to give this one a go too. Can I just flash it?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] :
Hi, yes you can just flash like normal, however you will need to wipe data as well as dalvik and cache as you are moving to a different ROM.

You should notice the touchscreen is a lot more responsive and general stability is better in this ROM.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] danih:
Thanks - but should I downgrade to Froyo kernel or something? I still don't get this "downgrade trickery" :)

The locked bootloader seems to make people look for creative workarounds, and I am a new owner, and can't wrap my head around all this information - too much for me :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] nonameboy007:
Hi guys,

If you are with the last kernel, MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_USXMILE2GBRTFR_P012_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF, the GB kernel, you have to downgrade with tezet hack,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

, and dl this sbf: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=901898&d=1329241743, is to be used with RSD lite, (personnaly i use RSD 5.6) : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784077&d=1321414457

in a first time, if you are in GB kernel, you have to:

1) install motorola drivers + RSD lite

2) boot in RSD mode with the phone, by pressing power bouton + photo button + volume down

3) connect the phone to the computer

4) flash the phone with the sbf above "downgrade_for_bl=3.sbf"

5) boot in bootloader mode, (volume down when booting)

6) go to recovery => stable recovery

7) then as usual, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, install zip from sdcard, etc..

and 8) enjoy.

PS: If you have a bootloop problem, press x button + power boutton, then volume up+volume down to open recovery, and wipe data and cache

Thanks to developper for their work ;-)

Hello,

I'm running the latest Rom and am having a very strange intermittent problem with my hw keyboard.

It seems to go into this mode where it treats any input as a keyboard shortcut (pressing C anywhere gets me to the contacts page, even in the play market search).

Any ideas?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caionavas:
Go to Settings / Applications / Quick Launch and disable the shortcuts... it worked for me!

I found something interesting... the GPS doesn't fix the satellite signal while my car audio is on! When I turn off the radio, it finds from 9 to 10 satellites, and fixes from 6 to 9... when I turn on the radio, it loses almost all signal (find 1 or 2 satellites, and fixes to none).

Any ideas? (Changing my phone, car audio or the car itself is out of que$tion... :) )

[Milestone 2 Android Development] captainhase:
Maybe your cars antenna is in the frontwindow/glas?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caionavas:
Yes, it is! Good point! But, why the hell it happens? They share the same frequency, maybe? It's hardware related or there's some option in our phone or ROM to fix it? I've never heard anyone complaining about it...

Caio Navas
[Milestone 2 Android Development] captainhase:
If you use your radio, your frontwindow is like barrier for your GPS signal. And I guess your mobile's signalstrength will go down, too.

Strange baseband & airplane mode problem

Hi,

Every time my phone dies because the battery runs down, when I turn it on (after charging of course), my phone can't get a signal. Sometimes, switching baseband helps. But not all the time.

Today I "played" with it a little, switching baseband & rebooting - something very strange happened: It shows the airplane icon, but the network is working.

I suspect a bug - when the phone dies, it gets into airplane mode, but not in a formal way, and you can't activate the radio again.

Please help,

Kfir.
