[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Ah jeez, I forgot about that. The layout in the update.zip is neither qwerty nor real qwertz, it breaks in combination with the alt key. Neldrin's post here explains how to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21928423&postcount=180 - for reverting to qwerty, you only need to do the first part, for getting real qwertz you only need the second part.

To avoid confusion, I made two zip files you need to extract to your root folder (/), you will have to remount /system as read-write ("mount -o remount,rw /system" as root) before you can write it and should remount it to be read-only after you're finished ("mount -o remount,ro /system" as root). You can also use the Android sdk ("adb shell" (to get a shell to remount) and "adb push localfilename destinationfilename" (to copy)) or there's probably some app that can do it. http://4z2.de/tmp/qwertz.zip for QWERTZ or http://4z2.de/tmp/qwerty.zip for QWERTY. Sorry for the effort. EDIT: Changes take effect after a reboot

I also forgot to tell that I removed PinyinIME (Chinese Input component), so if you need that you'll have to install it seperately or use another build.

EDIT: Yeah, your version works just as well, the sholes-keyboard.kl would have sufficed though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:
Both your solution and the original rom files miss the ? (question-mark) key if I import them into your rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
That's weird, it works for me. Did you do anything else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:
No, just replaced the 2 files, also noticing I am missing more keys now. (all special keys including numerals, alt+sym doesn't work, and the @ and ? as well).

Could that be physical damage?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
That's really weird, because all I did compared to the original was swap the z and y keys (in the .kl) and what happens in combination with alt (swapped the actions for z and y, too, so alt+y gives '<' and alt+z '6' to make it a real qwertz; that was in the .kcm). I didn't change anything which might break numerals, @, ? or alt+sym, so that most probably is something else.

On the other hand, I'm really quite new to all this (I've been using CM7 for a while, but started building CM9 and learning stuff only in January), so I might have missed something, but I really didn't change anything that would explain this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I'm using the latest build from znetroll but I keep getting a error message "OpenWnn stopped". It pops up every 5 seconds and I don't know what this is. It might be related to the soft keyboard, as it is not working as well (only hw keyboard).

Anyone has any idea was causing this and how it could be fixed? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Hi afadel,

correct me if I'm wrong, but OpenWnn is Japanes Character input stuff as far as I can see. I just checked and Japanese IME is still there in my build, it's just PinyinIME (Chinese) that I removed. But maybe that's the problem, I don't know. Anyway, given all the problems people have I'll stop touching anything (in the last build, keyboard layout was half-qwerty half-qwertz, which really sucked, and I removed PinyinIME) - next build will be absolutely unchanged. Absolutely nothing changed since my last build, however, so I won't build again.

afadel, did previous builds work for you? Then maybe just use one of them until there's a new build.

Ah, and I have some cool news: Apparently, nadlabak is working on zram support. zram is a RAM based block device which (and this is the point) is compressed. Sadly, our kernel doesn't support swap disks, so I doubt he'll be able to use it as such, but there are a couple of tmpfs mounts (tmpfs is in RAM), which might be compressable this way. So in effect, we might gain a little memory.

Also, I was thinking of moving the build to a thread of their own not to clutter this one up, but also if it's not sure it it's a build problem or a "real" problem, people wouldn't get their questions answered, so I'm not really sure if it's a good idea.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
You're right, it was related to japanese layout. I removed it from /system and now it's fine.

Thanks, man! Btw, anyone having problems with root explorer? It force closes right after launching for me.

yup, and it's slow as hell and prone to getting bumped out of memory. nowhere near enough memory to run it. i've uninstalled.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
There are several later builds (more features, less bugs!) linked in this thread. On page 20 (I think) you will find the most up-to-date one, with a new build probably coming soon, when I get around to it.

As to the Google Apps, I reuploaded that (multiupload seems to be down) - I hope nadblabak doesn't mind. MD5 is 5995c5a97df05c2a5c5ac75797b70571.

If you actually read OP, you'd know if the camera was fixed as it would be a very big deal, even if OP hadn't been updated as everyone would still be talking about it.

vishalmullur,

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Gentlemen, here is another build. Ladies, for you too, of course ;)

md5sum is 88eebbf0dccbbe773fec215d86425ab4

https://rapidshare.com/files/1736443722/update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Milestone-KANG-signed.zip

I've read the commit messages, but I don't remember anything big and I don't have time to read them all again during exam preparation. So you're stuck with believing me that there have been quite a lot of changes (maybe not visible ones, but under the hood) or reading the logs yourself ;)

EDIT2: Let me please stress that these are by no means "official" builds -- I use the official sources, no modifications, but I just build them at a "random" time, so there are no guarantees whatsoever that stuff will work. Until now, it always has, though ;)

EDIT: Some replies to some people.

It works for everybody else, so unless you provide more details (when did you build or which build are you using? what did you do to flash?...), most likely you will not receive an answer.

My advice, again, is to provide more information. E.g., what time settings did you change? Do you maybe live in a timezone that might cause problems, e.g. by being shifted X.5h against UTC instead of a round number, etc.?

Please, when will people learn to READ before they ask questions that have been answered a dozen times?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Cool.

I will give it a go.

btw, I got ICS SuperCharged :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
I have got it working all right. Chrome functioning is way too slow. Can you tell the reason and some alternative?(other than getting a new phone) I really wanna use chrome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
If you really want to use chrome, no way leads around getting a new phone. It simply uses way too much memory (RAM) for our old devices. If you don't like the stock browser (which got really good), there are loads of alternative browsers in the market. I have Opera Mini installed as a backup if for some reason the stock browser fails (which, until now, it never has).

installation was successful, but when I reboot it after i update it setup wizard says that "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" -_- I factory Reset it 4x still doesn't work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
Please can you upload it somewhere else. When i download from here it gets too slow like 20kbps instead of 150kbps.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

After you factory reset the phone, I think there is nothing from which the phone can boot, no data. So the only way is to put another ROM in your sdcard-openrecovery/updates and then apply that ROM so it will boot up.

Try it and tell me if it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Let me ask the other way around, what is your issue with RapidShare? I really do not want to upload the releases to twenty different sites... Especially when their servers are so freakishly slow to upload like MediaFire (I have symmetrical 100MBit educational network here :D)

Just for the record, I get 5-8MByte/s from RapidShare (no premium), no idea why it's so slow for you guys. Anyways. Here's you mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/?hlcc5ktxo84zcu1 - same build as rapidshare a few posts above, no need to redownload for those who already have the build on rapidshare.

Considering all these simple questions concerning my builds, maybe I should open a thread for them not to clutter this one...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hwithv:
Thanks for your uploading.

I ask your favor to upload to mediafire due to the download speed as it is clear as attached screenshot.

Thank you again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Factory reset will not erase anything on sd card...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:
Any idea (I know development takes a lot of time), when the cm7 options "don't wake the screen on usb plug" and "ignore magnets" (don't remeber the exact phrasing)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
yeah it wont but the ROM isnt on sdcard. it just installs from there then everytime it boots on its own, without sdcard. so once rooted and if you have installed a custom ROM then if you factory reset it will have no data.

Maybe its confusing. Whatever I think the only way is to flash the same ROM or any ROM from scratch and it should then work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I'm not sure if it's a problem with superuser or ICS but if you run some commands in terminal as root, I get a segmentation fault.

For example: pm list packages

It works fine.

But if I type su first + pm list packages = segmentation fault

Same thing if I try am start blah blah...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Factory reset wont delete any parts of rom on a phone neither.Only accounts,music&video files,settings(will be reset to factory state) and other user stafs...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hfmsite:

Hey nadlabak, how are you?

I was wondering if you can tell us what are you currently working on CM9..! It's been a month since the first Alpha release and I'm guessing you will have many things fixed, tweaked, etc. :)

One of these days I will probably take the leap and join the CM9 train myself. :cool:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Recently, I've been more focused on the preparation of the upcoming CM7.2 release. My priorities will shift back to CM9 soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Hi kabaldan,

I wonder if you would know why superuser would cause segmentation faults on basic commands such as pm list packages on pretty much any ICS rom.

Running such commands is fine if you don't type su beforehand.

Is there a workaround or is it better to just hound the dev via market? lol

Edit: okay this time a search found a workaround... https://github.com/ChainsDD/su-binary/issues/6

I'm able to run it with this command without error:

su -c "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/vendor/lib:/system/lib pm list packages"

Yes, that's a hassle.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi znetroll. I wanted to ask: Should I Flash the first release of nadlabak and then this, or I flash this and everythings works fine? I ask because I read in the first pages that it will upgrade the Android system as soon as we flash the first releases' .zip and I am still on CM7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Um... I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean by "it will upgrade the Android system" - every release does that, that's what they are for - , and I don't see how flashing nadlabak's original release would make any difference. In any case, you should do a full nandroid backup. Also, I wiped /data but I'm not entirely sure if it was necessary, just pretty sure ;) glhf!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
I Wiped everything, installed CM9 and GApps for ICS and rebooted the device. It is at the Motorola Logo for a couple of minutes now.

I guess there something wrong..

Should I reboot into Recovery again and install only CM9? Something wrong with the GApps perhaps, maxing out the /System Folder? :(

Edit:

Tried deleting bootanimation.zip from console, but I get the message that there's no such file or directory. Also tried to go to /system/media folder but get an error message too..

What should I do?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] amonfog:
As stated a few times before in this topic:

The dev's are waiting for the official packages to be released. As long as Google or other companies don't release updates or at least more phones with this OS, the road to working camera's is very long. and not taken (unless you would like to write drivers...)

Question from me is:

when can we expect a little bit updated version of CM9 in OP? I see a lot of updates and "other versions" roaming around in this thread, but like all kind of people around here, love a little bit more official stuff from proved dev's that were the figureheads to these custom rom's (Nadlak and the guys around him)...
