I agree that kabaldan has done an excelent job, as usual. But most problems we have on milestone are due to locked bootloader. If kernel could be changed I'm pretty sure someone would have made a better one. No doubt that more ram would do much good but a swap would be a benefit also. And Skrilax_CZ wouldn't have to bust his ass to hack it. Dedicated kernel for ICS on milestone would probably solve a lot of performance issues. Just my opinion.

And just in case someone by some miracle from motorola is reading this: Never again Motorola will I buy a device from you until there is at least an option to unlock a bootloader. Hardware is good. Firmware ain't. And if firmware would be good you still can not match various experienced devs and enthusiasts who are not burdend with deadlines, profit and marketing.

For those who wants to be on the bleeding edge, I will provide as many builds as possible for CM9 Milestone here:

http://www.x-graphs.com/cyanogenmod

NOTE: There are no custom tweaks, hacks or anything else, just a compile of the update source code provided by Nadlabak.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
New snapshot build uploaded - first take on video recording.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreiblue:
Can`t install

"can`t open /sdcard...cm9... (bad)"

Cheers
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] akantoch:
open any old update of cm9 with for example 7zip, delete everything and using 7zip paste everything from newest update. it worked for me:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Thanks for the report. The file from TheSpiritof69's mirror should be fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreiblue:
Not for me. maybe i am having some sd card problems..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
same problem for me... bad file..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] akantoch:
unpack and pack again archive with for example 7zip. and read previous post, there is another way if this one fails;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mileykong:
great... thanks nadlabak for ICS build..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DomCowell:
Great stuff!

Sadly, I will be upgrading in a few days after two years of the fantastic Milestone - however will keep this as a little toy.. thanks for all the work with Cyanogen, been brilliant
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
Works great for a alpha build. Thx.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
I have a question. The Motorola logo is showing for more than half an hour for now.. Nothing happened.. I downloaded and installed twice the update package and still nothing, it hangs ad the Motorola logo. Should I wait or try something else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k1alek1:
Can I see some screens??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
Same here. I don't know what to do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
Well, something's really wrong, cause when I tried to get back to CM7 it also bootlooped.. :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
Full wipe is required
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
I wiped the phone, even the sd-ext partition... And still nothing..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I couldn't boot with the "old" Alpha Release.

It did hang on the Bootanimation.

Removing the bootanimation.zip from system and reflashing it did help to get it running.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
You must be creazy if you think that anybody would even try to update from 2.* to 4.0 alpha without wipe :D

But like others said, of course it doesn't help :(

Okay, removing bootanimation.zip helps.

First impressions:

1. IT REALLY WORKS! :)

2. Pinch to zoom in gallery frezzes a lot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
Imagine 20 post long thread with so obvious solution at the end.

If happend to fix the camera, i'm jump on ICS milestone bandwagon asap :) unfortunely is a hw feature i use really a lot on daily use (beside is quite poor, it do the job with CM7 7.1.2 really well imho, wide photo feat. touch focus rule a lot).

Keep an eye on this thread :)

Gorgeous work as always Kabaldan!

Potentially stupid question:

I have an ext3 partition which I'm using for cm7. Do I need to manually wipe it to install 9? If so, what's the easiest way?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dexter_10:
test

ok took less than an hour testing this ROM and going great, unlike the previous version that was slow as hell, I will continue by testing, the only concern that I have with this ROM always esque locks much when I receive calls and urgent desire to see how it behaves this new version.

here a picture of the range varies inwhichthe RAM. free 58MB

EDIT: 1) confirmed still the same problem, crashes when receiving a call can not answer or respond quickly if someone is chasing you and you need emergency call're dead sure x.x

2) updating contacts from facebook is not generated. in previous versions if you did.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] duandroid:
Look like some real good progress was being mad so I just formatted and prepped my sd card.

16GB sd card

1 10GB FAT 32 partition

1 4GB ext3 partition

I go the march 7 release of cm9 installed OK, gapps working, everything seems fin except that the milestone wont read my sd card.

I check storage and it says insert sd card for mounting

If I plug in USB and choose mount for starge my PC does not read the card

If I go through open recovery and mount usb mass storage I see the fat 32 partition no problem at all so I know the SD card works ok

Any idea?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Don't know about anyone else but I am know using this on a daily basis and god damn it is ICS beautiful.

It works really well few qwerks here and there and running whatsapp constantly is a bit hectic at time but hey it works.

I urge people to try it, I'm not sure I could ever go back to GB.

Maybe if Temple Run can't handle ICS on MM I will go back but until 27th March I will be loving it.

Ta.

Hi duandroid,

I think i read before. Over 1gb of ext3/ext4 is not recommended. Is this causing the issue? Please correct me if i am wrong. I am currently using 1gb ext3.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Viadanna:
Excelent work. Being using the 03-07-snapshot for the last 24hs and I'm impressed with the stability.

Just a few crashes on Maps while trying to use navigation (seems to have stopped after setting Heap to 24m and JIT disabled). Text-to-speech crashes twice at the beggining of the navigation, but works after that.

I'm also seeing calls made from phone appearing with no number associated on the log. Calls missed or received shows up fine.

Logcat shows crashes in ContactPhotoManager.

Other than that, everything I use on a daily basis (Gmail, Agenda, Music, Camera, Games, Browser, Gtalk) works fine.

EDIT: It seems Gtalk voice chat is crashing the app as well. Maybe it's related to audio system and TTS crash on navigation.

Hi megawebmaster and duandroid,

Sorry. My fault, there is a limitation of 2gb instead of 1gb.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Also not true, I have a 3GB ext4 partition and it's working fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Yup, driver is working fine for each size, there's simply no need for such a big ext partition as Android apps aren't so big - there's limit in Android Market aka Google Play for 50 MB per app + (from a few days) 4 GB for additional app data.

Why do you all work so hard to get sm9 on this phone if its five Yeats ago.. haven't most people moved on.. sorry not trying to be rude! Or is their a particular reason you sticlbwoth this phone

Because not everyone can afford a new one and are waiting for contracts to end.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
so please, buy some new phone for me? seems that you have a lot of money. If you accept suggestions, i want the new Galaxy S3.. ok?

come on... i´m not with milestone because it´s the best phone for me or something like that, i just can´t buy some new right now...

by the way, why are you here? posting in a milestone forum?

I think you already got the answer. I am also not trying to be rude, but... you can buy me a newer and a better phone. Thanks. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cowsquad:
The reason why people try so hard is because they want to prove people wrong. They said, "Droid original and milestone would not be able to handle ICS." Guess what? Nadbalk, twistedumbrella, kfazz and cushzero are just proving people otherwise.

Besides, you stated "this phone is like 5 years old." Guess what? Nexus one is older, and is one of the best phones outhere.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Well, today I am gonna take the leap on to CM9..!

I downloaded latest CM9 and GApps. What to expect after flashing the zips?

Almost 1 hour for first boot? Just to know when my phone is stuck and not booting..! :)

Hope everything goes fine, will be back later with first comments on CM9. :cool:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
You'll have a very long first boot. Eventually first boot might end up with a lock after 15 mins. Anyway, after first boot everything will become "normal". Disable boot animation in settings for next boots. After first boot and login, you should reboot once to be sure of ext app migration
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Eveything went fine, took about 12' to boot for first time.

Some first comments:

- CM9 is a little laggy but that's to be expected in an Alpha Release.

- Google Play (Market) updated automatically

- Android 4.0 is the best Android yet and without doubt the best UI Google has offered us.

Waiting for further development and improvement. nadlabak you gave another 6 months life to our aging device..! ;)

I always use Titanium Backup, to restore the apps after flash a new Rom... it worth your money...

As for now, I use Nova Launcher. I feel it more fluid and light compared to trebuchet. Well, LauncherPro still is the best, but for those who wants the beauty of ICS launcher, just try Nova.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
You can use an ext partition on your sd card. All your apps install there, so every time you install or update your rom, all apps are automatically loaded.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Trebuchet always redraws. It needs RAM that our Milestone can't spare. :(

Also, found two bugs:

1) In the call log I can't see the numbers of previous calls.

2) And When someone calls you it doesn't show you the name of your Contact, only the number, like you don't have it saved in your Contacts
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ~Issac:
can you help:(

my milestone is lack of internal memory so that i can install anything from the market:(

every time I install apps from market, "insufficient storage available" is shown....

i got app2sd but i found lots of apps can't be moved to sd...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] L3ibnitZ:
You have to Prepare your sdcard for Apps2Ext:

You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.

The first FAT partition is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4(the size should be about 1GB or bigger)

You can use any partition manager such as Minitool, Paragon, Easeus etc. for this.

App2ext is used automatically by Cyanogenmod and other costum roms.

Hi I'm a dev/tester of Android for N900. At the moment the main developer has paused the work on the N900 to concentrate in porting Android on the N9. My simple question is:

Since the dev is busy and only one dev for porting android on two devices at the same time could be impossible..could you please help us? The Motorola Droid has the same OMAP3430, the same SGX530 and the same CPU..

I'm asking you only to integrate your accelerated SGX530 driver in our project first, then anything else you can contribute like, our main problem, audio routing in calls :(:(:(:(:(

I can't post URL yet so to find us I can send you through PM the direct links to the Nitdroid forum Thread (the main thread) and the Talk.Maemo.Org Thread. You can also find yourself by searching on google "[HOWTO] Compile N900-NITdroid from sources".

Thank...you...very...much. The community will be very grateful.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] znetroll:
Has anyone else observed this to become slower and draggier over time? I don't know what this is caused by (it might be purely psychological, but I doubt it), but as of today, it has gotten practically unusable. In the beginning (around the time I posted my first builds) I was incredibly happy with it, it felt smooth and wonderful. Sure, the OOM killer got to the launcher, but that's not what's bothering me. Everything takes a noticeable amount of time, even the on-screen keyboard has annoying lags. Other things, like the settings app or the browser, become unresponsive for several seconds and take ages to load (2-10 seconds).

So, has anybody else observed something similar? In the last few weeks, this has been becoming more and more of an issue to me. Also, I have a new build for you (untested, just finished compiling), md5 is efe9d768b92414f308f491e5e01b99c0.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] seidler2547:
I have to say that I don't use camera very much, so I'm running the very first build since January, only recently applied the vm.min_free_kbytes sysctl patch, but I don't have any issues. I rebooted my phone maybe only 10 times since then, 5 or 6 of which I just ran out of battery, but never because it was unusable.

It does get slower sometimes but always picks up speed again after some usage.

Yep. +1 for that. Question is why? I don't use my MM that much anymore,but when I need it is sometimes so slow, almost unusable.

CM9 works well and 3cheers to all the DEVELOPERS for this ROM. The only thing I fear is Can overclocking burn the processor for the phone? (the question might be stupid or typical newbie, but yes I am serious & I am new to the android dev & modding)
