As mencioned before, I´m back after flashing the latest 9.1.0d version on my Milestone. Before (9.1.0b) I had some apps not launching or crashing in the process. Examples:

Aldiko; The Simpsons Puzzle; Tictactoe; TrialX, etc. Since 9.1.0d, all of this apps now launch acordingly (as kabaldan mencioned they might) :) Nice job kabaldan:good:. Some of the issues that kept some apps from launching seem figured out, at least the one´s I´m using.

The rom is great. Bugs that I know off, can´t find any for the time being. Annoyances I would like to see resolved I have a few:

- Menu option to delete frequent made calls (third party apps can´t do the job - at least the one´s I´ve tried - and I´ve tried a few...). In other roms, when the feature was not present, third party apps could help. Not the case on CM9;

- Menu option to import/export contacts from/to a .vcf file (on SDCard) or something like that (can´t find any on phone app). Have to import contacts from Google servers with sync option;

- Option to disable "send sms on Enter key" on physical keyboard (really, really anoying having written just a few lines and send the sms before hand by mispressing the enter key...:mad:).

Also, a thing I notice (it happened also on CM7) is that after using the phone for a while (even with caches cleaned and apps out of memory) the phone starts to get slughish after a few day´s use.

Just my impressions. This things aside, overall the rom is working great for me:D. Since 2ndboot option available and custom kernel, I can´t remember the last time I saw my Milestone crash/reboot (happened at least once every 3,4 days before custom kernel), and that says a LOT I believe.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
@Ricfil: People app - menu - Import/export may be of interest ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you.I was also using cm10 20121111 as my daily driver.It was extremely smooth and functional except crashing of video recording.Now seeing Kabaldan's valuable remarks I have moved to cm-9.1.0d yesterday.I shall provide my experience here after seeing it's performance for two days.

My battery is draining a little faster than it used to. Checking with BetterBatteryStats I see in Kernel Wakelocks that EHCI_PM has been running 10% of the time. I looked it up a bit and understand the EHCI is the driver for the USB port, is that right? If so, why could it be running so much time if I didn't connect the phone to the USB port in the interval (since boot)?

BP (Baseband processor aka GSM/UMTS modem - custom Wrigley3G chip made by TI for Motorola) is connected to AP (Application processor aka the main CPU - TI OMAP3430) as USB peripheral.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
You can always impress me with your knowledge about this device. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Thanks. Never new about this feature on this app. But it would be great if this aspect was built into the contacts app (since it is there it is missed the most in my opinion). Also, it should have an option to choose from what vcard file on the SDCard we could import contacts from. Still, glad you found a way.

Thank you:good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You're welcome. Btw. People is the Contacts app ;) And if you were to have multiple vcf files anywhere on the sdcard it'll find them and let you choose to select which one you want (it displays a popup with file name (0001.vcf, 0002.vcf, etc, if you have not renamed them) and a time stamp). On the other hand, if you have only one vcf file it is automaticaly imported.

widget for call recorder

I searched in the Playstore for a Widget for Call Recording.But I was unsuccessful to find one.It would have been beneficial if we can control the widget which is placed in the status bar to decide whether to record or not an incoming call.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Ok. Did not know about the multiple .vcf file thing. Glad it works that way, since using Google sync sometimes is a pain (error syncing, duplicated contacts on the gmail account and on the phone app (if using sync after sdcard import option for example) you name it.

Relating the contact app, I was refering to the phone one (with the blue phone icon) where calls, numbers called and contacts all appear in the same GUI ;). I would much rather the import/export option was build into that app (like it was on official roms) :good:

Thanks again.

That would be a good idea I guess...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CanAndroid:
Widgetsoid is an option that might work for you - it lets you create a widget power bar in the notification bar (replace the standard one), and you can add a custom command toggle on it. I don't know what the command would be (someone here might), but if you find the command that would toggle the Call Recording, it might be a solution for you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ugynok:
hello!

video recording is still buggy? i tried 9.1.0b and it was unstable. :(

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
@ugynok: Try using a 3rd party app from Play Store. Others mentioned video recording works flawlessly with those.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
It works fine for me.

I need to see the logs if it fails for you.

Video recording with the stock camera is quite smooth in this ROM.It is only because of this I riverted to this from CM10.

pnsdhrn

@Kabaldan,

First of all I may express my immense gratitude for making this ROM almost flawless thereby placing our Milestone upto the level of most modern devices.Then please let me put a request before you ,if it is viable.Can you please add a facility to the default android keyboard of swiping the space bar for activating alternate language fonts?Please excuse me if I am asking for impossible.And if it is impossible,will any harm will occur if I delete the stock keyboard and install MultiLing Keyboard instead? Waiting for kind advice with thanks,

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Try 9.1.0d. I´ve tested a couple of times and video works good for me also. Don´t expect flawless video recording (sometimes the video stutters) but I do believe it has to do with the kind of "bufering" the cam app is using and the ram acting as a bottleneck at some moments (leaving the CPU waiting for it to fill), but overal it works smoothly. Having said that, don´t expect Milestone to be a dedicated camera, specially when using the latest roms (and at least for now). :good:

Hope it helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
No need to delete the stock keyboard. Simply install a keyboard and choose it as default in the "Language & Input" menu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
For few days I have had problem connecting the phone through USB to access my memory card. No matter which ROM I use, my PC doesnt recognize the phone but I have been able to connect and access memory card via 2ndboot's option.

Please tell me what I could do.

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Have you tried conecting the sdcard alone on the pc (outside of the phone, though a card adapter for example?). Have you tried reformatting your SDCard and rebuild the partitions in it? Have you tried rebooting the phone and trying again after a reboot (don´t forget to clean dalvik cache before doing so). Have you tried reflashing your current rom and try the sdcard again on a fresh "install"? Have you tried running a scan on the sdcard using the build in windows disk scanner or similar app? Have you tried reinstalling the Motorola drivers?

Just some ideas you may try (if you haven´t already tried some of them).

Hope it helps :good:

CM10 Nightlies

Another question.I doubt whether this should have found place in CM10 thread.However most of the participants in these 2 threads are same,so I am putting this here.The question is whether the CM10 Nightlies by Skrilax also incorporates all the up to date changes and modifications carried out by Kabaldan?

​

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
OK.Thanks,Erovia.But one thing more.After installing MultiLing Keyboard from Market and converting it into SYSTEM APK , can the stock android key board be deleted/uninstalled?I think it will free more space from internal memory.Or otherwise will it do any harm to the ROM and it's original functioning?Sorry please if I am putting a silly question.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I think there is no need to convert an app from the play store to a system app. Just install it at it's good to go.

The stock keyboard is stored on the sd-ext partition if I remember well.

Anyway, it is called LatinIME.apk and there won't be any problem if you delete it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I do believe the builds on Skrilax page (for CM10) are from kabaldan. They are only "hosted" there. So there is the latest available build ready for download on that place.

Someone correct me if I´m wrong.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
@Ricfil: Nope, there is actually a build-bot behind Skrilax's site. It builds the dailies from kabaldan's sources fully automatically.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Thanks for the heads up. It is kind of an build platform to integrate changes into the main "builds code" (from what I understand). But being so, kabaldan still needs to update parts of the code to there so that they are integrated into the "build" on that platform (kind of)? Or at least have a folder or similar set up on is "coding machine" synchronized with the online platform? If so, even if the builds are not completely uploaded to the platform, a part of the code his? (latest version changes?):confused: Not a programmer, but interested in knowing this (since I, like others, use the tool a lot :D)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Strokesws:
What's up guys! I read that we don't have video drivers to use in CM10, but what about CM9? I tested CM10 but it stills too laggy, at least in my phone, then I went to CM7 again. Is CM9 working good as CM7?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
@Strokesws: CM9 is stable and pretty fast too. Even Kabaldan is using it as a daily driver.

( I recommend to change the default launcher. Even CM10 is fast enough with Lightning Launcher. )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Love how smooth 9.1.0d is. It is now my daily driver.

One small issue if you have time Kabaldan. Beautiful widgets is unable to update weather on this build (says updating weather information and nothing ever loads). Also, on Lightning launcher, the clock for this widget just stops after deep sleep. Had to switch back to trebuchet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
Thanks a lot but I have tried all those things but it still doesn't connect.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Did the card test give back any sector errors/filesystem errors? If not, the other thing I would do is try with another card. It seems your card is damaged somehow. It can´t be system error, or sdcard filesystem error since you said you already re- flashed the rom to test it out (using hopefully both dalvik and cache wipes) and re-formated the card... Find another card to test (or buy one) and check it out. Also, does the problem appear on other CM versions? Does it appear on "official" android versions? Test that out also:good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Strokesws:
This Launcher?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Yes, that's it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
Thanks again but if it was damaged then it couldnt have been read through 2ndboot right? my pc can read the card when i go to storage mode form 2ndboot.

i will try with other card
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
My experience with 9.1.0d was rather pathetic.Although it was pretty fast it suffered with frequent Auto Reboots.Also the Phone apk crashed very often there by call issuing & attending and also using contacts were a problem.I tried several times wiping dalvik,cache & data and reinstalling the ROM including redownloading it afresh.But no success.The plus point of this ROM was a smooth camera and video recording. It was due to this good quality I came to this ROM and tried to hold on with this.But other parameters made me to go again to CM10 and there I deleted stock gallery apk and installed MIUI Camera and QuickPic.Now the video recording is flawless(even smoother than UCam) in 4.1.2.Also cm10-4.1.2 is more userfriendly and customizable than 9.1.0d in my experience.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Since I'm not experiencing those problems with CM9, there must be something relevant in your setup. Can't imagine what, though... :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Yep, in part it should indeed work... but it may be that 2ndboot uses sectors not used when fully booted into system. There is only enough you can do inside 2ndboot. If you have tried all tests I mencioned it should at least spit back some errors in testing. If not, it should be recognized in other roms for it not to be damaged. Did you uninstall/reinstall the phone drivers on the pc for a second time? It may also be drivers are flacky and work for the hardware detection part needed for the phone to be recognized in recovery mode but not in full "online" system/removable device mode. Just an idea though, not shure if it makes that diference. It might.

For all its worth, do test with another card (if you can) and report back, as I´m also curious for what is happening with it :good:

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

Agree with scoutme. With the current kernel the rom is super stable (no random reboots since I can remember (probably since installing the latest CM9). There must be something on your phone contributing to the misbehaviour. You should try re-flashing cm9 after 10. Also, if I was having all those issues I would reflash stock android and then go back to cm9 to have a go at it... :good:

"also using contacts were a problem" Just out of curiosity, what problems did you experience relating contacts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
I try cm9 yesterday and found out that i can answer incoming call but all All the outgoing calls are terminate immediately.

sound familiar ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] luka2288:
Nobody tried that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032.

For me is the best way to eliminate the lag on my Milestone, it's a wonderful app. Is there any contraindications?

Even with 600 Mhz my phone is fluid without any lag.:good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
I tried it on cm7, I'm can't say if it is a placebo or really help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
This app removes lag because it forces the CPU to run at its highest clock all the time - so have fun draining your batteries even faster ;)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sandman21dan:
Hi, i had some time outside the forums, right now i'm running cm7.2.4b, with 12mb swap on /data, now i wonder whats the state of cm9/cm10, i also see more updates to cm9, how are they running right now? how do they compare to cm7 as daily driver?, i tried cm10 a couple of months ago and it was just unusable for daily use, i know i should try them and judge on my own, but since this is the only phone i own and my daily driver, because of my work i can't afford to be several hours without it... thanks in advance!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you Ricfil.When I try to open People to select a contact for calling the People will not open and a message will appear instead saying "Contacts could not be opened".This occurs immediately after the crashing of phone program. However with CM10 I am quite happy now as it is supersmooth without any major problems and it is also more userfriendly and customizable than CM9 which I was using previously(of course the Nightlies prior to CM9.1.d).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
Thanks a lot. Sure I will report soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] damiann69:
Hi. I have not used CM9 for long time, but after few days using it as daily driver I must say that ICS it is best option for our devices. JB needs more powerfull hardware, GB is obsolete.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
CM9 works great for me, smooth and fluid with swap partition and another launcher (Lancher Pro in my case). Give it a shot.:cool:

Also, you do not need to take that long to transition from CM7. Just make a backup of your apps, flash CM9 and install the one´s you want on it.

It is that easy :good:

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Glad CM10 works for you :good: Still, you had a problem not many have had as it seems. I don´t know if you did so, but it would be helpfull if you could post the logs of those crashes available to kabaldan (when those kind of problems appear), so he could have a go at it. Helps troubleshooting things, and increases the roms fluidity/stability in the longer run :good:

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Kind of feeling the same at the moment. Still, some users report that using third party cameras and galery apps, the camera fluidity on CM10 improves a lot, and mencion overall performance is still on par with CM9 (fluidity wise)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] damiann69:
Maybe CM10 is quite fluid but If you want it you have to make ext partition because of its size, camera app needs good procesor and RAM performance (familiar to Google Now). JB just doesn't fit for our old device, it is higher profile :).

ICS is good compromise between GB and JB, and I really like it. I don't need Google Now and other gimmicks.

It doesnt mean that I don't want to see JB 4.2 on MM ;), just for fun.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I do believe you still need an ext partition for CM9. I do use one, one way or another (as I have way to many apps for the Milestone internal memory :D). I´ve read here some reports that CM10 is getting there, fluidity wise. Only the camera app is still "in the works". But I do agree, CM9 is getting pretty stable by now to the point of people using it as a daily driver :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sandman21dan:
Thanks for your answers, i will try this ROM, however... what is the best way to activate swap? in cm7 i used fufu script, but now i think that it's included in rom, and where is the best place to use swap? internal memory like /data or /cache?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I use FuFu´s 98swapon. You could use Swapper (app). It has got build in ability to turn swap on/off on the fly. With 98swapon you need to use terminal emulator and use the comand "swapon(off) /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (if using swap partition for the swap space).

Relating the Rom´s build in swap script, I did use it at first, but decided to stick with 98swapon simply because it allows an easier way to switch it back on/off (as mencioned above). Using 12swap (built in script) after editing the script you still need to reboot for the changes to be implemented (as far as I know).

I do not advise using swap on internal memory. Swap implies lots of reading/writing to the device, reducing its life span. Even the swap partition I´m using on the SDCard I only set it on for gaming. Where I find it is most needed. That is how fluid CM9 is running for me :D

Hope it helps :good:

Sorry Ricfil to say that I didn't save the logs of CM9 crash at that time.As you said it would have been beneficial for Kabaldan to study it.But unfortunately that chance is lost.Thanking you however for the interest shown in my issue.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You can use the 'swapoff device' to turn off swapping. The scripts startup feature is configured using instructions provided by kabaldan (using 'setprop'), etc. And inbuilt 12swap is not meant to be edited.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Maniaccc:
I have been using cm9.1.0d for 9 days. It is as fast as old CM7 builds in my opinion. I am not using zram or swap. My launcher (Apex launcher) is killed by system as frequent as stock froyo. My first opinion about cm9.1.0d is impressive. :) Thanks Kabaldan.

Cm9.1.0d has some downsides which are listed below. But it is best choice for me for my milestone.

- As CM7.2.4d, it slows down and getting laggy after 1 or 2 days of usage. (Sorry there is no logs.)

- Sometimes caller id is displayed with delay or not displayed, only caller`s phone number is displayed.

- I can not calibrate my battery with zeppelinrox's method as CM7. After boot charge level stuck at %5.

(zeppelinrox's method of calibrating the battery : deleting batterystats.bin, removing battery while rebooting to boot without battery, reinsert battery after boot)

Ps: I am not using heavy apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
I did not explain myself as I should, I did use kabaldan instructions, I just did not find a way to turn swap off on the built in script. You mean the swapoff command is still working to turn the built in swap script off? As in my case swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 for the swap partition? Do we not need the device to be rebooted after turning it from one state to the other? If so, that would be beneficial. Still, I do believe we need to set the amount of space the swap partition will have on the set build pro command. Using 98 swapon if I do not set the space the script automatically uses all of the space available on the partition (method which I prefer).

Correct me please if I´m wrong. :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
No need to reboot after swapoff. If you'd reboot while having persist.sys.swapsize configured to a value other than 0 it would start swapping again.

To use entire swap partition set value of persist.sys.swapsize to the size in MB of your partition or some larger value (e.g. if your partition has 50MB and you want to use all of it, setprop to 50 or higher).

btw. "set build pro" is not a command ;)
