Usually you have to launch a script through OR. Minimod has the density option under Modding, for example.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sfahadzb:
open build.prop in /system with root explorer or es file explorer and edit the following line ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and set 240 to 195.

There is no performance improvement. Just like the resolution is increased. More things fit the screen
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dexter_10:
hi all.

well this comment because it had made ​​Nadlabak but so do you all want to see if anyone has knowledge about this. Please write this than I do because I could see that if you could make.

well just wanted to ask if you have any idea what I will say, suddenly think I'm crazy but if you ever had a nokia realized that this could be done, I mean "to adapt hardware that comes standard in the mobile "to add new functions to the phone, remember that in the nokia 5120 to change the battery could be a bigger than bringing a haware of vibration as this phone is possessed not by default so other little skill and more, then, in this way, the new battery addaptar cell phone with the new hardware in the phone appeared the new option to enable or disable the vibrator to use on calls and games etc..

I wanted to know if you know of something like this that I am mentioning, or if esque'm so mad that I just happened to me, that of creating a battery that will fit the milestone and bring into their circuits an Ram Memory chip to expand and solve our problems. it sounds very fancy but if you could do before because you can not do now?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brunofm:
Thanks for the tip, but how do I expand the limit of icons/apps per line of the homescreen and of the drawer? Currently all my usable area is kind of in the middle of the visor, as can be seen in the attached image. I want to be able to use all the available space I now have, but how?

I also changed the governor to smartass and the VM Heap to 24, let's see how the performance changes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
Trebuchet 0.1 (stock launcher in our build of CM9) doesn't have options for that, which is why it's centered. It's a side-effect of shrinking the DPI value. I'm glad it centers it instead of pins it to the top-left though. :)

If anyone is wondering why I use 195, it's because after testing as low as I could go, I found that anything smaller than 195 will trick some apps into thinking they're on a tablet, so their UI gets all messed up. (Superuser, for example, goes into an unusable "tablet" mode at 190.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brunofm:
I see. And would you suggest any other launchers?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
if you like the style of Trebuchet, you can try APEX... it´s awesome! so much more options and looks like exacly trebuchet.

Cya
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brunofm:
Thanks mate, downloaded it and so far I'm really enjoying it. It seems a lot lighter than Trebuchet and it's customizable to the bone. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] therealphami:
To be honest, I see your point and that would not be a bad idea because our main problem is that we don't have enough memory. But since Kabaldan is an amazing dev i think he will do everything to optimize ICS for us. I'll download that later and try it :) Thanks Kabaldan!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
Nobody will be offering RAM upgrades for phones/tablets anytime in the near future. It's a great concept that would breathe new life into our struggling Milestones, but the form factor doesn't really allow for end-user hardware customization.

That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to trying to replace my 256MB chip with a compatible 512MB once I've gotten a new device. If anyone has any sort of insight on this, please send me a PM. I'm specifically looking for part numbers and places to order from. Who knows, maybe it'll actually work and we could start upgrading our Milestones!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] L3ibnitZ:
I think its very expensive to order such a specific component part and it would be far more expensive to produce a ram-extension for the batteryslot because there aren't many target customers and it's very difficult.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] therealphami:
So I flashed the ICS and already had some minor issues. I had to flash like 4 times file the home button and the screen lock started to do the job. The Trebuchet is beatifull but very slow for me so I use Launcher Pro, it's faster for now. I had some technical issues with the market downloads as well but it works now so everything looks great. I had 1 force close only with the camera but that's all. It is a real eye candy, so I keep it for a few days to see how does it work :) Thank you kabaldan!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Guys,there is still drivers problem if you wanna expand RAM.If this will be so easy then we would have had swap(ram on SD) already.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
It's never been about drivers. We can't enable the SWAP option because the KERNEL (the core software that Android runs on) doesn't support it, and the device checks the kernel to ensure it is the same one that was shipped with the device.

Do you need drivers when you add RAM to your Linux PC? Nope. The kernel happily uses all available memory. There should be no software issues with upgrading the RAM, as long as the new module(s) function with the controllers on the circuit board.

As for the cost-per-chip, the limited market, and the amount of work required to replace the chip... I know that these factors mean I could never make money doing it. It would be a fun project though. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Well,all hardware need drivers.Even on PC.Why do you think is bios there(and some other chips)?And if your pc support only 6 gigs of ram,what shall you do? Upgrade bios I think...

Why then there was problems with camera module on ICS?And one more thing - ram module in MM is on main chip.At least what I know.And I think that kernel contain drivers,or not?But I think that main drivers should be in bootloader,which is locked (I'm not shure).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Okay, so this is completely possible. 100%. No problem converting your phone to 512 mb ram. All you need to do is invest in the highly precise soldering apparatus similar to the ones that motorola uses to perform the highly intricate work of soldering the very small connections of these chips to the mainboard.

Then there's just the small matter of developing an entirely new kernel that supports the expanded memory, and allows it to work with the rest of the phone. You'll also need to convince motorola to unlock the bootloader, then create/modify a custom rom to support it :)

I really hope my sarcasm was clear... this is really not possible at all, and your better off buying a new phone.

Internal Memory Bug

At the moment ICS working real nice. I just changed trebuchet to APEX Launcher, runs real smooth and I locked the home in memory so it's amazingly great. I got around 20 MB of free ram, almost the same as in GB. BUT i jsut recognised a strange bug. Like in every 2 mins my internal storage is changing between 23-31 MB. It's kinda strange since I have the following apps downloaded:

Apex Launcher 2.28 MB

BS Player Lite 0.580 MB

ES File Explorer 2.32 MB

Facebook 8.14 MB

Google Play Store 6.40 MB

Maps 11.82 MB

PowerAMP 5.97 MB

PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker (YES, I bought it...) 0.004 MB

Root Browser 5.02 MB

Terminal Emulator 0.400 MB

Tunee Music 1.57 MB

Twitter 3.73 MB

WhatsApp 9.70 MB

Wireless Tether 0.93 MB

Youtube 5.53 MB

Let's count it together. Yes it's 64.394 MB but my Stone says I used 160 MB of memory. WHY? Btw now it says I have 37MB of free memory..lol Anybody got any ideas what the heck is that? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
If by memory, you mean Ram, that's not how it works at all, and just go back to stock. If you are referring to internal memory, then that is a strange bug.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Create an ext partition on sdcard as suggested in the first post so you don't have to care about the amount of free space in the internal storage. If there's no ext partition on sdcard, most of the gapps is stored in /data. Periodic changes of free space there are caused by automatic clean-ups of app caches invoked when the free space in internal storage crosses 20MB threshold...

Please note that it can a few minutes for the M logo to dissapear (5 minutes or so). afterwards your "bootloop" should be fixed.

I'm sure I'm not the only one bugged by such posts, so let me say this:

This is a development thread and not for asking questions that are not related to development. I wasn't sure this was the place for posting nightlies, but it sure isn't the place for questions such as this one. Even more so if the OP answered some of them in his first post. Also, to bring this post back to more related things, I'll upload a build later today when it's done.

But in general works great!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darjan:
I have to admit it works surprisingly well for an ICS alpha on such phone (using it for two days, no crashes yet), so well that I will probably keep it for daily use.

The inconvenience is that Milestone comes with 256 MB of RAM and context switches when closing/opening applications are somehow slow. But when a context switch is done, the open application performs very well.

Noticed issue: keyboard illumination fails to work for me.

Thanks!

Couple of bugs

Hi,

first of all, thanks Pavel for the rom and all the effort to bring it to us. The ROM runs pretty well, now I'm using it as my daily ..

My big problem is with the stock messagin app, crashing a lot. I installed Messaging Metro Beta to use it untill the stock becomes usable for me.

A strange problem with the SMS/MMS I experienced is, if I create a new conversation, and try to write the name of the contact with the screen keyboard and it writes the letters backwards (right to left, in my case). With the hardware keyboard no problem ocurs..

That's all for now!

Again, thank you so much!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Trebuchet (the default launcher) uses a lot of memory, so it gets evicted really often, causing the delay when switching to the home screen. It's similar with many apps. It's really not the context switch that causes problems, that is really fast (a context switch occurs when the scheduler select a different kernel thread to run next, that happens quite often and has negligible impact if not none at all on performance), it's applications being evicted from memory that have to be restarted. I don't really know what's the bottleneck there, but most applications take 1-3 seconds to launch, which is a little annoying, but I don't really mind (except when I'm in a hurry :P). Does anybody know what causes this? Is it the internal storage being awfully slow?

In the beginning it failed for me, too, but after a while it magically fixed itself ;)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
What really annoys me is not the few seconds delay to open an app. But every time I need to use the phone.apk it takes at least 30 seconds to show up and 30 more to become usable. Anyone experiencing this too?

Also, switching to virtual keyboard in landscape mode also takes a bit of time and the keyboard is usually laggy.

Is this all due to low RAM or will it be improved over time?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
I haven't found a way to do this with a graphical interface, but you can always replace the keyboard layout files. I don't remember where exactly they are, but it was mentioned in this thread along with an example how to modify the QWERTY layout to obtain QWERTZ. I don't really know what the Hebrew layout looks like (if it's completely different, this method is unfit, you might have better luck copying it from a ROM that comes with one)

Ext partition for more apps

A couple of questions:

01) Will creating an ext partition on SD card solve the problem of low app space?

02) Is there a install guide for creating an extended partition for beginners? (not programmers)

Please if someone could help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] L3ibnitZ:
http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

you don't need an external cardreader, you can also use your phone.

your ext-partition should be about 1gb or less.

a swap partition is useless because the milestones kernel doesn't support it.

Save your data before doing anything! Otherwise it's lost after partitioning
