WiFi works here as well. Just the Mobile connection that doesn't work...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Endless7:
GSM(2G?,im a little confuse with these names) works here.

Anyway,remember,this is not a real build for milestone2. but this prove uk and ch use the similar kernels. So let's wait for tezet to release a real milestone 2 build:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Yes 2G/3G. Anyhow I'm reinstalling it, to see if it'll be fixed. After that I'll go back to stock.

I'm just happy it's proven to be possible! :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
I get signal when I'm on 3G. I can make calls and use the internet as well. On switching to 2G, I lose the signal completely (data + calls).

So we booted ICS over our existing Euro GB kernel. That is good news indeed!!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I can't. Well, I'm going back to stock, as this still is my primary device :D This is great progress (and more life for this device)!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Yeah, I switched back too. Many areas in the city don't have good 3G signal and then I would lose connectivity there. For me also, MS2 is the primary device.

BTW does this mean that anything compiled and booting for CH GB kernel for MS2 will work for Euro GB kernel as well without giving FCs? (obviously keeping boot.img and devtree.img intact from Euro GB and not changing them using the update.zip)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I think it's way to early to say that. Last few times there have been about 25 days between any active development and releases. Now there have passed 20 days. I think it's way to early to say they've abandoned, unless they tell us themselves :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] TomaszD84:
This ROM is wonderful and I'd really hope for the development to continue, 4.0.4 is out now :)

This ROM stopped me from selling this phone, seriously.

CM Intergration

Good news!

CyanogenMod 9 devs are actively aware of this thread, and are looking at your Github with a goal to merge the code tree with official CM9 :-)

Any update on video recording? Rondoval recently reported a working 480p video!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Davith:
Where did you get this info? And who would be the maintainer? Tezet seems to have gone already.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] :
I'm looking at getting the galaxy s3 when it comes out. Should be a weapon of a phone if the past two galaxy s phones are anything to go by.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
Can't really share your confidence.

The last activity by Rondoval on GitHub was 23 days ago, Tezet 22 days ago.

The last commit (change of the code) - more than 1 month ago.

Nothing is changing in the sources, so, there is a very little hope, that the new version has to be out very soon.

Our device is low activity device :( Sad, but true.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RufusThorne:
I submitted the request myself.

I am considering becoming maintainer, but have real-life things going on, and will not do so unless I can seriously commit.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Backup and Restore

I have a question: Have anyone tried to back up this rom and then restore it?

I have backed up and restore my stock GB rom, and when I restored it everything was as I left. But when I backed up my CM9 rom, it seemed ok at the time but when I tried to restore it the restore/restoration process failed and I had to start from scratch.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
Confirm. CyanogenDefy Recovery 5.0.3.2 fails at formatting /system/ partition, so, nothing can be restored with this version of CWM.

However, you can make backup with this recovery, then start from scratch and flash CM7 with CWM 5.0.2.6, which allows to restore CM9 backups also.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
Yes, I backup my data/system and I can restore it, I use cm9 and some times msginger.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Thanks for response. I came from GB UK so I can't flash CM7 unless I downgrade...is there a way to install/utilize CWM 5.0.2.6 directly?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
I think that to replace files in the directory /system/bootmenu in the CM9 zip with the appropriate files from CM7 zip before flashing is enough.

But I have never tried to do this.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
Does this fixed in the latest version ?

Under Interface:

Launcher - Dock/Icons does nothing; General still just Auto-Rotate

Themes - Nothing other than "Preference Stub"

System - Lockscreen has nothing other than "Preference Stub," didn't see any CM Wallpapers under Wallpaper,
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RufusThorne:
No removable battery - No thanks!

Not true. You can just flash a GB SBF, then go to CM7. I have done this.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] :
Where did you hear that from lol? Phone hasn't been announced so everything on the net regarding the s3 is just speculation atm.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Ok, in my understanding when trying to restore CyanogenDefy Recovery 5.0.3.2 is looking for system.img and data.img and fails, since during backup there files were creates as systems.ext3.tar and data.ext3.tar and that causes the whole restore process to fail.

Can there files manualy converted/renamed and put back into backup folder then restored?

Dont really know what these file extentions are intended for, so dont be too judgemental.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:
The ROM ICS, is abandoned?? no update since we are on 05/03 ...

will we still have updates?:(

anyone have news!

Sorry my Portuguese:p
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Nighto:
Did this and it still didn't work, is there any other suggestions?

The only things that bugs me about this ROM are this, the tethering and the video recording issues, other than that I would consider this as "finished". Unfortunately I'm not a good programmer to help fix that. :/

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
On Defy the HWA UI is functional. Does anyone know how we could enable it for the MS2? They use the same GPU so probably it wouldn't be to hard I guess..
[Milestone 2 Android Development] thokkalodi:
yeah it's a pity that there are no developers now working on the milestone 2. technically porting the defy mod should be possible. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to start porting the mod. I'm willing to learn and try to port.

I've been testing Epsylon3's ICS Defy+ port on the Milestone 2. It's working, but Radio doesn't work; so no mobile network connection (baseband switcher doesn't help). :(
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ---UFO---:
Try replacing baseband with baseband from Milestone 2 directly in update.zip

It's located in \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default\
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Faelz:
The rom is GREAT!

I agree with winder7.

Lets hope the ROM dont got forgotten!

Im trieng port the lastest cm9 defy+ 0420 to milestone 2, if some one can help me, I will be greatfull
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rHycH:
I've been lurking this thread waiting for an update. I've been using it for quite a while and so far it feels great. I can live without the video recorder since I rarely use it but for some reason, it feels like an empty space. :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I'm trying to do the same thing right now. It's just I only got time today :(

Did you already try ---UFO---'s suggestion?

Besides Radio not working, the IME doesn't work.

Oh and /data isn't mounted correctly...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dantonel:
You can count on me, I sent you a PM brow.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
Fm radio will never work because m2 do not have hardware for this. Im using the rom right now and works very well, I have problem only with auto rotation and virtual keyboard. Whats the Ufos suggestion?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I meant radio, as in voice/2G/3G... that doesn't work. And indeed the virtual keyboard, which made me disable SIM-code because I couldn't unlock it.

I tried UFO's method, replacing the baseband files directly into the update.zip, but mine still can't connect to mobile networks...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
Works fine for me, I have issues only with vkb and auto rotation,maybe some libs is not compatible

Try with this files,first ms1 plus http://www.4shared.com/android/tUq4fB7C/ms1_Plus_V198.html
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
ohh great..this thread is almost active again..
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
That worked. To bad I didn't understand what I was doing :p

I however did notice the performance was below par with tezet's CM9, even though HWA should be enabled.

Also the not working virtual keyboard is a pain in the ass. But it can be worked around by using an alternative. Since screen rotation doesn't work, using the hardware keyboard isn't a great option.

The 8GB of storage is unavailable, but that's because Defy's data partition is located somewhere else. I guess Walter79 knows how to fix that for Milestone 2, as he's done it with his MS2Ginger ROM.

Maybe someone can give some clues as to how this can be worked out?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Hi w0ndersp00n

Can you share Eppy's CM9 builds link for DEfy+?

Also can we try n replace these (MS2 specific) files from Tezet's CM9 build in Eppy's build.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249944

It is an old thread for fixing CM7/MIUI ports from Defy. Dunno if it is possible but may be it can help.

Edit: Found Eppy's link.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Sounds like a nice approach. It's just all the links are unavailable, so I can't see which files are used in those fixes.

Maybe someone's got a mirror?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
Ops,sorry,I forgot to say how to use...:D

Maybe you will need this too http://www.4shared.com/android/p0uyiyJT/cnkylebpswswitcher-1.html
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Yeah, I used that first app; I just pressed something and after that the device rebooted. Then I used baseband switcher and my signal was up again :p

Did you manage to access the 8GB storage with Defy+'s CM9?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
I'm attaching the screen caps of the file names from the .7z archive. I believe all you would need are file names and there is no use of the whole archive.

There are a lot of files in it which won't be needed to be replaced at all e.g. google app apks. But I dunno if we can figure it out completely.

Anyway, here it goes.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I found a working mirror :)

I guess we would only need the files from /lib and some from /usr (and correct baseband).

I'm at work right now, so I can't build/test right now.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:

Big thanks @Walter79
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
It's very strange. I tried Eppy's 11.04 build. And I'm just stuck at 2nd M-logo. Can't get past it.

Am I missing something?

Edit: Got it to boot. It's crashing a lot though.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I don't know which build that is. I used the latest (17-04) and I tried switching the libs, but the same problems remain...

The fix Motodoid provided for storage works.

For the camera: the option to flip should be disabled in build.prop

Virtual Keyboard still doesn't work, nor does autorotate. Hardware Keyboard works, but without screen rotation. The capacitive buttons stay lighted on, even after the screen turned off...

Also baseband needs to be fixed after flashing, but that's a minor issue I guess.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] thiagomtl:
I'm no dev but i found this thread about porting roms to MS2:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Well, I'm getting no signal (radio isn't working). I tried replacing bp_nvm_default folder. I even tried ms1plus.apk and baseband switcher.

Still nothing. I guess I'll give it a try later.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
First install ms1plus.apk, you can found some post ago.

Start the app and click in 3 bar signals, then choose B1B806D, will popup something in chinese, choose the left option. Phone will reboot.

Install M2 Baseband, start the aplication and choose the best one for your region. Reboot and done.

If Tezet opened a Kickstarter-Project to collect Money for his work on CM9 for Milestone 2...

... I would surely give some money! :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
Am in....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] CesarRamina:
Easy.

Go to first page, first post and click in "Donate to me" to tezet
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gurkenpetr:
Yeah, PayPal is one way (and surely a good way) to "donate", but with Kickstarter we (and Tezet) could have other advantages.

At a Kickstarter-Project People see that there is money donated and feel that they are participating in a "bigger" thing (so they don't feel that the money is lost if they donate).

This way more people are motivated to donate money.

The money (at least it seems as if it was) is bound to the purpose of the project and thus the person donating knows that he or she is going to get something for the money.

All of this is just speculation for sure. I don't know if Tezet is developing for the Milestone 2 anymore or if he even would be interested in a thing like this. Doing stuff like Modding just "for fun" is a real donation from the developer to the crowd and I know that we should be thankful for the work that is and has been done.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Has anyone found a way to fix the virtual keyboard? Without it it's impossible to unlock the SIM card...

I found simply replacing all libs from tezet's ROM don't fix the issues (such as rotation).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Motodoido:
If some one want to test the cm9 0420, I create a zip to work in milestone 2.

CM9FixMilestone2

First install CM9 defy+ 0420, after this, install my patch without reboot. Now reboot and wipe data/ dalvik cache. First boot will take a while.

Fixed:hw Keybord layout, light buttons, internal memory

Still NOT work: Rotation sensor, virtual kb(without open hw kb), proximity sensor.

[ROM][NIGHTLY] CyanogenMod 9 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.0.4)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Kangburra:
The CM9 Rom is clearly alpha, whereas this ROM is used daily for work and seems the best we're going to get for the MS2.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
I'm not sure what you mean by that......

We are in a CM9 thread who started as an "experimental" port, of an early alpha CM9 port.

Coming from that, what we have now is great, but is STILL unstable, subject to changes, can still be great a version, and "buggued as Hell" next one.....

But still i don't understand how the CM9 can be "clearly alpha" and "this ROM is used for daily work" when posting in a CM9 thread....

Once again, the current (and only up-to-date-dev-ROM) CM9 for MS2 is maintained by sfc3031/Alexc084, and is "quite" stable (understand by that : there isn't much bugs, most of them aren't cockblockers, even if some (less and less) are annoying, and it integrates the most recent advances with hardware support for our phone (aka : camera/camcorder working, with some bugs, properly in every way, portrait/paysage, 720p decoding/encoding, HW acceleration, soon Flash+HW acceleration, and so on).

If you want the rom in this thread updated, it won't happen(at least not in a forseeable future, since Tezet stopped working on it like 7+ months ago), but if you want to get an "up-to-date" ICS Rom, sfc3031 is maintaining one, springing from Tezet's work, for the past 6 months or so, with quite some new things (the major one being hardware acceleration working).

You can find his rom there :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623385

PPS : as far as the MS2 goes, the only thing you can dub as "nearly stable" are the latest CM7 ports (work from tzet/endless7/i-don't-remeber-the-name-sorry), which aren't really "stable" and, outside of the MIUI-port seems to be dead since March or something like that.

Once again, everything in there is experimental (there is a reason none of those roms were ever labeled and accepeted as "official" by CyanogemMod, while CM is stilll something "by people who know a frigging LOT, for people who know quite some and aren't happy with what they got...).

It's nice for some things, sometimes frustrating, but there is nothing for "day to day" use in there.....(unless you let others test it for months, and then use a months old rom.....getting the lest buggued one, but even like that i doubt it would be stable).

[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I wonder if dual boot Stock-CM9 would be possible. If that would be the case, I'm sure more people could help testing.

@Canton_bgi You shouldn't upgrade if you don't want to risk it. It's as easy as that. With most people the update simply works. On my device however not, even though I think it's related to my data partition.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I've been testing again today. Somehow he doesn't recognize the SIM card, which is why I can't get a mobile connection. It doesn't matter which SIM I use. Baseband is set correct however.

The odd thing is: when restore a Nandroid, the device still doesn't see the SIM card. I have to completely reflash it with RSD Lite for the mobile connection to work.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Endless7:
i guess it's something about APN setting. you may need to restore it manually.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
No it's not APN. I'm talking like he really doesn't know there's a SIM card in there! No way to force him knowing that it is there. I've tried 3 different ones from 3 different operators.

At booting he doesn't ask me for my SIM lock code. I can only dial emergency calls. And the thing is: when trying so he says there's no mobile connection...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] paalsteek:
Tezet, I tried to build cm9 today but with no luck. Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
