[Motorola Milestone Android Development] G00fY2:
Well, we needed new GPU driver to get all OpenGL extensions that are required by ICS API. Without them we have no real hardware acceleration and some apps, that use new API won't work (Chrome for example).

Texas Instruments released the new drivers at the beginning of June, but we couldn't use them directly because drivers are compiled into the kernel. As you may know, be can't change kernel because of locked bootloader. So kabaldan found a way to unload the built-in drivers and instead load new drivers via loadable kernel modules. So now we have all OpenGL extensions and full HWA.:) But I don't know how much speed it will give to CM9 on the Milestone, because it has just 256MB Ram.

PS: I'm not an developer. Please correct me if I'm wrong.:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
thanks for your explainations. i didnt know that we did not have full hw acceleration on our cm9 but its good to know. but may this new driver also fix the video encoding issue? if we would have full hw acceleration and could watch videos without any lags, that really would be awesome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yes, it simply means that we (and other locked devices as well ;) ) finally have a proper graphics driver needed by ics.

So we have fully working hwui for any app, Chrome works (though it's too RAM hungry for Milestone to be anyones favorite browser, I guess).

For Milestone it also means one important thing: one nasty bug of the old driver is gone. It plagued Gingerbread as well as ICS - it happened on orientation change.

Under ICS it caused parts of the screen to become black when rotating the phone while running recent Opera Mini (due to hw reset of sgx unit during the change).

Under Gingerbread, it caused crashes in sgx libs on rotation, for which I used workarounds directly in app source (Gallery3D) or in the framework (GoogleMaps).

So I'll try to use the new drivers also in CM7 in the future.

It also means that I upload a new build soon, because I postponed any releases until I'll be able to get the new drivers to work despite the locked kernel.

I'm really happy that I succeeded :D .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Accelerated video encoding already works fine.

It's the hw accelerated video decoding, and that is still a problem (on every omap3 device running ics). But I dare to say that it's really the last hard bit remaining to be solved.

Anyway, the ICS for Milestone has reached a point I wouldn't dream about at all in the beginning.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TJKV:
It seems defy (and hopefully more devices) owners will soon benefit because of you, thanks a lot :D

+1000 !:good:

By another Defy owner & CM9 user
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] YaPeL:
Defy user here, you don't have an idea of how grateful I'm for your contribution! thanks a lot, and congratulations on your development :victory::victory::victory:!

Wish I could see a milestone moving with the new drivers, I remember that -sometime ago- even on 2.3 it was a kinda laggy
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
its nice to see how the ics development on our milestone became so far and im glad that we have an ambitious developer like you for our device. it would be really great if every hardware component would work on ics and even though the fact that the latest nightly seems really fast to me, the limited ram still a problem that stops me to use this rom on daily base. i hope that there are some ways, like in cm7, that could spare us some ram to shrink the ram usage to the level of your latest cm7. if this might be happen one day that would be fantastic.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kanpurite:
Nadlabak, you really have set a milestone(pun intended) today !

Thank you from all defy users :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] overclockthesun:
Thank you mate :). Your work just breathed new life into my Defy!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] anmol7ify:
That totally means that in near future...when jelly bean roms will be created for devices like defy defy+ or millstone, it would also be smooth as jb is based on ics indeed and full utilization of project butter wuld be possible, if u succeed in your NOBLE WORK. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolution1g:
Thanks from the defy community sir .. thanks a lot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] FcukBloat:
that sounds great! billion of thanks from a defy+ owner.. can't wait to get hwa to work (Chrome etc!) you rocks!!

pardon me for my ignorance, but that buld you will release.. will be epsylon? epsylon3? or your own new one?

really confused about that.. I am usin quarx right now I think..

thanks again byeeeeeee guysssss
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
So I'm a novice when it comes to what you've done to make this work on the milestone, but would the way you've unloaded the old driver and reloaded the new one be used to introduce zram to the milestone? Memory is pretty much the only major issue milestone has now. If that were solved, then it would be quite phenomenal.

Just curious. I think I recall zeppelinrocks was working on it?

Edit: Skrilax_CZ (my bad lol)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Skrilax_CZ has been working on swap. But I think that it was mentioned that it is highly unlikely.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
My mistake, Skrilax_CZ... damn, well that's unfortunate :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
What Can I Say ! Just

THANK YOU SO MUCH MY DEAR KABLDAN

. You're THE BEST :victory::highfive:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Nobody is having this problemas of gmail filling up the internal memory? Mine takes about 100MB and I have an ext partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] A-H_Zeto:
Nope,

no problems with GMail.

Found two more bugs though.

- In the Browser highlighting doesn't work pretty well

e.g. if you go to google and hit the search button, there is no indication at all, that you have hit the button.

other example is text links (e.g. page numbers in forums) if you hit them, there is only a small underscore showing that you hit it, no color change

- I don't know if mentioned already, but data connection is lost sometime. Especially when toggling from 3g to 2g networks. Entering and leaving flightmode fixes this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] guitarhero923:
Problem, I can't upgrade ext2 to ext3!!! It says something like, 1751, "not able to load library" or some mumbo jumbo! What did I do wrong? The Partitions showed up right, except for the one being ext2, which the guide tells you to upgrade, but it wont work!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k1alek1:
Use this http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html and do every thing under windows. I had lots of problems whit resizing, formating and making new partition propably becouse I'm runing out of battery (less then 4%) and i dont have charger right now. But i have a question, what now? When i will instal apps, it will go to this partion? I'm charging my phone right now and i cannot check.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SophT:
just a heads up, I was using minimod OR with the new binaries released for 7.1.2 and it wouldn't flash (firmware errors) , switched back to 1.46 with new binaries and it flashed no problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
Gonna have to switch back to CM7 because i'll go on a trip and need the camera working, a shame.

The only bugs here are:

- Wallpaper does no scroll even with the enabled option in Trebuchet's menu.

- Losing data connection

Also, Facebook app does no support contacts sync with ICS I belive, but I belive that's a problem with their app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brgroover:
good bye milestone!

I bought a s2.

is exciting to say how much I enjoyed this device and how custom roms gave a huge survival for it. Thanks nadlabak, edgardcastro, milaq, ho-no , iceandfire, luca. I leave here but I will continue watching ics progress in milestone. sucess for all :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Don't know why my gmail is giving me problems. I'll try reflashing gapps.

And yes, data loses connectivity after a while...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
i am wondering to flash it..but my volume rocker isnt working ....does it hav autoboot to openrecovery? i mean reboot to recovery script?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cowsquad:
Mine volume toggles are broken too. I use the dpad inside the keyboard
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
yaa but inorder to. Get into recovery. Manually u need to press camera and volume up.....so I was wondering if reboot directly into recovery works? Does is?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cowsquad:
I forgot your phone is bootloader lock. Can you use rom manager
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackrabbit72380:
how is this in terms of speed would you say its a huge inprovement over default?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kmpksprabhu:
I have that too. But go clear cache helps. Not really a show stopper!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kmpksprabhu:
Thanks for all the guys for the different kinds of custom roms. Yea I did got a s2 like 6 months back! But don't feel like dumping the phone because of the custom roms available for it. Still my personal mobile is milestone... now with cm9 :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afonsolage:
You need to create a EXT partition on your SD-CARD like Nadlabak said on his post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
no i cant so i am wondering if the auto boot script is imstalled is it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Yes, it is. You can reboot to recovery just like in CM7.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I just wanted to check I wasn't the only one. ;)

I do have ext partition, that's why is weird.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:
I am having problems with the calendar not syncing, other calendar apps crash when I try to start them.

Google also displays an error icon in the account sync on calendar.

Otherwise this rom is absolutely great! Thx kabaldan for keeping up the hard work!!

The last nightly build its the really last one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Nightly build, 07.07.2012.

New nightly build. And again: ALL credits go to kabaldan for his brilliant work.

I know I have said I shall no longer provide nightlies but current updates are very important (not just for us but for lot of locked-kernel device owners).

Devs are working on proper build bot service and in the meantime...

Changelog:

Updated SGX PVR drivers to 1.8 (ICS, full hardware acceleration)
Lot of updates, tweaks and fixes...

That is it. I have no time (or will) to copy-paste the rest, details can be found on kabaldan github repository

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chokitodopoder:
Just flashed, and seems to be working fine. Did some Quadrant tests, just before today's release, right after flashing and after installing my apps and setting up my environment. You can see the differences for yourselves :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Silly Question :

Jelly Bean or in another word CM10 on our MS ? :confused:

Sorry and Thanks

;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
Kabaldan said to wait for the JB source code to be released. Untill then, there's nothing that can be done or said about it, but speculation.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chokitodopoder:
From what I've seen, JB is an optimized version of ICS, just like GB were of Froyo. So I think it is perfectly possible to run in our MS, now that Kabaldan did the magic of making ICS run so smoothly. But we must wait for Google to release JB source, and CyanogenMod crew to work on it. If yet Kabaldan be with us (hope so :D) we might have it running.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
Flashed the latest build made by mrvek of the great work by kabaldan.

The Rom is as smooth or even better than CM7.2. I'm using Holo launcher because it seems to be lighter than Trebuchet. The only downside of this ROM is the RAM usage really. I had 2 reboots after installing a bunch of apps (dunno why my google play account never remembers my apps even though I always set it to back up my apps) which I belive, caused lack of RAM and therefore a reboot. It is a very good piece of hardwork, congrats kabaldan!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] spaq:
Hi,

Have anyone tried milestone cyanogen mode with griffin helo tc app for their helicopter?

I have tried it, i already tried it with cyanogen 7.2, but i still cant fly. With my stock galaxy tab 10.1 all working without problems.

Does anyone know what could be problem?

Thanks

O.

Ps. Sorry for my english, im czech and not very good at it...

[FIX] update to cm-9-20120707 nightly

IMPORTANT

The provided nighly has wrong module that should unload old sgx pvr modules what can cause panic and reboot on certain occasions. The attached OR flashable update zip has the correct module.

Install:

No wipe is necessary, simply apply through Open Recovery.

You should apply it for both nightlies, ie, the one provided by Skrilax_CZ or me, doesn't matter.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chokitodopoder:
It didn't happen to me, but flashed it anyway. Thanks for the quick fix, guys.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nagabushan.c:
Thanks for the update.

I Flashed the update. Still experiencing the lags, getting force close from apps that are standby too like Facebook, RAMmanage pro. Applications get kills by itself.

Can anyone tell, whats the best way to simplify the CM9 for performance? This is what i did so far,

- Uninstalled all unwanted apps, Disabled stock apps which i'm not using like Exchange Email app, etc.

- locked launcher in RAM using ram manager and CPU governor set to Interactive.

Let me know, if i can tune some thing so that i can reduce lags.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
correction

Attachement with previous "fix" was removed because it was not really necessary. I misunderstood it.

The original was indeed correct one.

I will not provide new update with the correct file (the file (pvr-off.ko from update zip) is fully functional but not optimized). Instead you can download nightlies from Skrilax_CZ's true nightly buildbot service here.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
l still experience FC on built in web browser on latest HWA nightly built. it getting better now, but browser still fc after 20~30sec use.

anyone know the actual browser process name, I want to put it in HWA black list. wonder if fc cause by ram or hwa...

Pretty awesome!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
It's about friggin time.

I've communicated with alot of devs but nobody outsmarts or outclasses kabaldan.

Yes he dislikes my little script but I'm still a kabaldan fan and really would get whichever device he eventually gets :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
It is good idea. I put in blacklist most troublesome apps without HWA they almost works like advised. Skrilax_CZ probably will build nothemes branch that should help little too

my blacklist

com.google.android.apps.maps_com.android.settings_com.android.browser

I also have lowered vmheap to 24 MB and use Holo launcher. With that adjustment phone runs decently.

Maps is still no go but with nadlabak this may change in future.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
THANKS

Thanks for your hard work Kabaldan and all the other developers involved in this.

Great job

Anyone who hasn't tried this try it now.

Thanks

snowman77/blusnowman
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
Thanks Alicheusz for sharing your blacklist.

Currently, I blacklisted the "com.android.browser" only as web browser is the only one the have FC issue.

Anyone know if there any error log that I can retrieve for this FC issue and post here for our Mighty Dev to debug?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
Is the current nightly safe for daily use ?

I'm using CM7 and wondering is it safe to move on ?

is the current nightly CM9 safe for daily use ?

what will work and will not ?

is it smooth enough ?

how is battery life ?

can someone give short review from end user perspective ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
Its Basically Depends How U Use Ur Phone...HWA Has made the phone Fly like an eagle... You could try it for once...if u dun like it u can revert back to cm7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
I tried it, I like it, but I had to return to CM7.

It can handle most tasks, but you will find yourself being redirected to the launcher because the app you are using is being killed due to lack of RAM. With HWA, you basically have 0 RAM available. I tried to kill some process through the settings > apps > running and the settings aplicationg would be killed due to lack of available RAM. I'm sure kabaldan is still optimizing the ROM with HWA, so I'm going to suggest that you wait for more stable releases.

I just have to say that the stock camera aplication on CM9 works better than the one in CM7. Is there a way to port it back?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] climhz:
i love milestone because of its manliness and after change my phone to nexus s i gave this phone to my father. He loves it very much, big part of it is thanks to kabaldan's development here. you did a very awesome job, you should work at google :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
i tried out your nightly from 20120709 and i noticed that videos dont lag anymore. that means every hardware component is working, now. very good job, nadlabak. the thing is, that ram usage is still too heavy but i think that you will be able to handle this, too.

besides this, i also noticed a bug with the youtube app. everytime i play a video and slide my keyboard up the video stops and i have to play it from the beginning. the same happens, when i slide the keyboard in, again. i dont know wether this is ab bug in cm9 or in the app but thats how i experienced it.

I thought I read that this rom would work for the OG Droid 1. But when I try to flash this rom through clockworkmod recovery (up to date recovery), I get that status 7 error right away. Does this not work on the Droid?

-EDIT-

Thanks! It's here, by the way.

on the skrilax_Cz http://skrilax.droid-developers.org/cm9nightly/umts_sholes/

i see build from today,how came this to download or wait to replay post by mrvek?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Protector1981:
Its only a build. Not anymore. You can download and Flash this or u waiting.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MotoMileCm7:
I know this a build,but it Different from the 7/6 and 8/6 build true?

and it have Significant changes ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Protector1981:
Gives no Changelog. Its a Nightly-Build, means build every Day. And Nightly-Builds dont have not ever Changelog. You can look at github to look at the "changelog" ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There is the source:

https://github.com/nadlabak (Milestone specific repos)

https://github.com/cyanogenmod (CM repos)

https://android.googlesource.com (AOSP repos)

(only the main three parts are listed, some repos may be pulled from custom forks, mainly tpruvot's for the wifi stuf)

If you're interested which part is pulled from where, check the project manifest: https://github.com/nadlabak/android/blob/ics/default.xml

There are the build instructions:

http://android.doshaska.net/cm9build

There are the builds resulting from the above:

No matter if it's built by Mrvek, me, someone else or the nightly buildbot setup by Skrilax_CZ (and powered by xvilka's server) [thanks!], the resulting build reflects the changes made to the source and is ready to be flashed.

Though beware that the nightly builds are automated and not human tested, so (in the worse case) the build may eventually not boot or be otherwise broken.

So to see what's changed, check the activity feed at https://github.com/nadlabak and the merged commits at http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z

Three questions

1.I want to format my SD card and my phone is rooted, so after I format my SD card should I place that open recovery and update file again? And as I am formatting my sdcard I want to the best open recovery and update file ( if am not wrong I know there is another open recovery)

2. My power isn't working so how do I go to open recovery and switch on my phone?

3 . Would you recommend me to start from the scratch ie flashing sbf file and al those stuff?

Correct me if am wrong guys
