Speech to text

One thing I've noticed is that on rondoval's CM9 rom speech to text option was active on messaging, on this one it's not.

Not that I use it on daily basis, but just thought that if rondoval has it, then it must be a doable thing although not a high priority.

Just a user feedback. Overall rom is very stable, I am using it on daily basis, haven't had any problems.

Thanks for your hard work tezet and rondoval, and all the others who have contributed to the development of the rom.

Is CM9 ICS stable for daily uses?

Hi,

Pardon for my question.

Because currently, I'm using tezet's cm7. However sometime, the phone becomes very laggy (I have to wipe cache and delvik caches) and there is loss of reception once awhile. So I want to know if the CM9 is stable for daily use (eg make calls, recieved messages , wifi tethering and how's the signal strength)?

Thanks.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] KinChungE:
For me, this CM9 is equally the same (of even worst) while using 3G network

However, if I stick with 2G only, the problem is gone
[Milestone 2 Android Development] puiboy:
Ohh , does this problem occurs because of the baseband ? Apply baseband switcher when there's no signal rite ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
It has to be done quickly. It does work.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] KinChungE:
I don't think baseband switcher would solve this

No matter which baseband that I use, it is still the same

Sometimes when it is being idled for a long time, the signal is lost and never re-connects (even cannot switch to airplane mode except rebooting the phone)

Also, during the time that signal is lost, the battery drains very quickly

This is not only an issue to MS2, but also for MS users (don't know whether MS3 would be the same)

i have problems with following

* qr code scanning (tested with 3 apps)

* google+ account connection

* google maps account connection

Any solves yet?

edit:

Sorry I have missed the account messages in the status bar for google services..

thx :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] wilriker:
I have the same problem and to describe it a bit more:

The image is stretched horizontally (holding the phone in landscape). Therefore the QR code is no longer quadratic and won't be recognized by scanning apps.

Additonally PaperCam does not work. Or better: it works but image colors are not the way they are supposed to be (and no it's not the filters themselves I am talking about :rolleyes: )

Again: QWERTZ keyboard layout

Hey folks !

I know there is a QWERTZ keybord set available ready to download BUT ...

I'd need the functionality (behavior) of te "old" keyboard from the stock ROM 2.2.2, which is the following:

-> press alt, shift and u you'd get those two little umlaut dot's above

-> subsequent pressed key is fitted with those little dot, e.g. subsequent key was an o, you'd get an ö

Thing is, that's as well possible with french, spanish and so on characters, e.g. î ô è à ... you get the point!

What I tried is to just copy over the kcm.bin and .kl from the stock ROM, but this didn't work.

Please help me here : How can I modify the kcm file or how can I make the one from the stock ROM work in this CM9 ROM?

Attached is a zip with the two files from the 2.2.2 stock ROM.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Try to wipe caches. If it doesn't work you probably need to wipe data as well. I don't know wheter you installed it as an upgrade to previous ICS or as an upgrade from CM7.

In the latter case you should execute a data wipe.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chillje:
Try to clear the app cache.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RufusThorne:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] boorce.com:
The problem is the format of kcm files.

It has changed since 2.2 and 2.3.

It was kcm.bin, it's now kcm (without .bin), a plain text file.

I've some basic azerty and qwertz files somewhere...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] jsschmid:
Great hint ! I thought it would be still some bin file, so not human readable...

I think like this I'll find a way to put together the keyboard layout I want!

It is possible to have 1% battery?

Edit: and it is possible to overclock?

Thanks in advance
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
For 1% battery counter you can try my patch for the Rondoval's CM9 (post#13). I have not tested it on Tezet's build, but I see no reason why it would not work.

Update. There are some reports that USB connection stops working with this patch. As this patch is backport from Defy CM9 2012-03-03, some kind of differences may present. Please do NOT install this patch on Tezet's build. I suggest you to wait for Tezet to merge appropriate code from Defy sources for us to get 1% counter.

However, there is no problem on Rondoval's build, feel free to use it there.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] skaburn:
Thank you, I will try, I have only to flash it, right?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
Install zip via CWM recovery, just as you have installed this CM9. No wipes are needed as this patch simply replaces 2 system files.

I recommend to make backup first.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] skaburn:
thank you I flashed it and it works very well!

I suggest to tezet to add your mod on first topic, becouse it's useful know the real % of battery.

anyone knows how overclock cm9? milestone2toolbox will it work for ICS?

edit: I want to ask also if the "beats audio" zip extracted from htc's rom works on cm9.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
Lately, my MS2 spontanously reboots at random times, only to get into a boot loop. The only way to get it booted again is by pulling the battery.

Thanks for reporting, I have corrected my post and now do not recommend to install the patch on Tezet's build. However, on Rondoval's CM9 it works without any problem.

Some differences may be in the CM9 sources themselves, because I've done patch for 2012-03-03 nightly, and Tezet's is 2012-03-05.

BTW, you may try to clear caches or do the wipe before flashing backup, maybe it could help?

"ADB debugging shouldn't be disabled"

Then ADB debugging should stay enabled. For you to do your 'devwork', you need the ADB debugging enabled, not the other way around, so you won't have a problem with it.

Legza, off the subject here, were you able to fix usb connection on your 1% battery patch for tezet's rom?

Looking forward for new release
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Legza:
Sorry, but at the moment I am not planning to reflash, as I am quite happy with the Rondoval's build and do not see any advantage of the Tezet's one. So, I cannot test the patch here.

If Tezet makes an update, I will flash it and provide the proper patch. However, the most correct way is to merge the needed code from Defy CM9 and recompile our's. Maybe Tezet will do it somewhen.

For the moment you can try the solution provided by PetrusDLX on previous page. It seems that he has got working 1% and USB.

Yep, I have meant this. I think that the only one build divides us from getting fully working CM9. Unfortunately, it seems that our devs have no more time to play with MS2 :( But let's do not give up the hope.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RufusThorne:
Have you tried flashing the Defy ROM to ms2?

-EDIT Update
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Megalith27:
Decided to back to stock ROM

After using this ROM for over month and a half on daily basis, I decided to go back to stock GB rom.

I have to admit that I like CM9 a lot, it felt faster and lighter, and battery consumption felt much better than on stock, and I was not much bothered by the non-working video recording.

But the main reasons I decided to go back to stock:

- Included mail app was not able to set up my work exchange email, I've read that this is a common ICS problem but the quick fix was to use Moxier Mail, although not preferable to have my work email on Moxier and Yahoo! one on included mail app

- This is probably the main reason why I decided to go back to stock GB; Voice Commander: Included Voice Dialer is useless, no matter how hard I tried it kept misinterpreting my commands, the other Voice Commanders available on market require network connection whereas stock one (vsuiteapp.apk) is an offline and very accurate voice commander.

- Car Dock app: Would love to have my MS2's stock Car Dock app working on this ROM as well, but this is minor issue for me, as it can easily be replaced with available apps on market.

Overall I enjoy having and using ICS on my MS2, it's very user-friendly and has a lot of advantages.

My guess is, tezet will not modify his ROM based on my comments, as he mentioned in one of his previous posts that he does not want to modify ROM and keep it as close to official CM as possible.

So I will be looking into ways to modify/migrate this apps to ICS (or find them somewhere else) and if this attempt will be successful I will be comming back to this ROM again. Looking forward to it.

Any help and advice on this matter is more than welcome.

Once again thanks to tezet and rondoval for all their hard work and to anyone who has been involved.

Thanks and Favor

Chillje, thanks for the apps

I tested the Car Home app on ICS emulator (and stock GB)and it works fine,btw you also need to install CarHomeLauncher.apk as well, in order for Car Home to appear in app drawer

I wasn't able to install Email app on emulator but finger crossed that it will not have problems with certification and I will be able to set up my exchange mail.

I would like to ask for a favor, if someone could test if attached VSuiteApp.apk works on this rom or rondoval's CM9 rom. I was able to install in on ICS emulator but couldn't test it.

Thanks in advance

If this Voice Command works on CM9, I am planning on flashing back to this rom.

Hope we will have video recording soon too and who knows may be even 4.0.4, I've read that it's super fast and a lot smoother than 4.0.3

Well, I've updated my Milestone 2 some days ago and found a very, very fast and stable ROM, very suitable for everyday use, except for the video camera.

There's only one issue I've found: when I select someone on my contact list and touch to dial, it shows "UNKNOWN" instead of the name and number of the contact I've chosen. So, on the call log, all calls I've made shows like that. The received call log is OK, so I think this is a minor issue.

Guys, I need your help.

Firsly, I am back to this rom again, couldn't resist it, once I've used I couldnt go along with stock GB.

The help I need with is I tried to make moto's stock voice commands(vsuiteapp.apk) to work on this rom, the app installs but it doesn't open. And all my attempts were unsuccessful.

I find it very useful, especially because it does require internet connection and it is very accurate.

I also tried to find the app here on xda, but the only one available was for froyo roms.

Would appreciate any kind of input.

Yeah, but all third programs drains excessively battery and I really use tethering extensively. With 4h. of native bluetooth tethering, CM7 drains to 68%, with Barnacle (I tried it and others too) CM9 goes to 26%. So, I really prefer native Bluetooth tethering. Thank You. :)

It's impossible to boot the european GB kernels without updating CDT in the same time.

Signature of codegroups (=partitions) are stored in CDT (which is a partition itself).

Motorola Boot Manager checks /boot signature before booting the kernel

CDT has beed updated in the new euro-GB sbf. -> Topic

This new CDT probabily revoked older kernel signatures, and added gb's signature in the same time.

This is the explanation why :

-It's impossible to boot an older kernel after euro-gb sbf update, even using CWM

(there is no signature of this /boot in the new cdt)

-It's impossible to boot euro-gb kernel without updating cdt in the same time

(old cdt does not contain signature for new /boot)

Something worth trying would be to flash both boot and cdt with CWM, preventing e-fuse burning. If someone tries to do so, he should add recovery in the same time for security reasons.

But I don't know if it's technically possible. And it's probabily risky.
