Dear mrvek,

I removed Talk.apk using Titanium Backup and I am having no difficulties in downloading apps from Playstore.And I also seconds your opinion that CM10 now is really smooth and is suitable for daily use from my experience of more than one and half months.

@Quinitine himself

I've one question: why? Why do you want to put apps into the .zip? Normally, you should make the lightest .zip LOL.

Try to put it in data/vendor/app as L3ibnitZ said. I had such problems when I want to add the Gallery2.apk to the nightly directly to the SDCard. I solved it by doing it on a copy of .zip from my computer.

Thanks for the advice, I will try this app

EDIT: Mainly if the app's weight is 7Mo and the Gallery2.apk is only 3Mo Don't try to put it in an other path than /data/vendor/app otherwise you will not be able to boot

Dear Quinine himself,

Thanks for the advice. UCam and Quickpic apks were downloaded from Playstore using the phone and are placed in it's SDCard using Titanium Backup Titanium Backup.BTW I have tried using my windows XP computer to place the Zeam Launcher apk in the /data/vendor/app after deleting Tribchet.But zeam Launcher won't get copied there.It shows "0Error-duplicate filename".Then I tried to copy other files such as EnhancedEmail.apk, SygicNavigation.apk etc there.But the same result with 0 Error.How can I get them copied there?Also is there any harm if I copy them to the Gapps zip file?In Gapps zip pack I can place these apks without any hardships.Please advice.Waiting with thanks again...

Error

I have downloaded CM10 nightly on 24-09-2012, and tried installation. done 3 wipes, but OpenRecovery installation stopped with error

This is my third trial of fresh download and installation, same error.

Am I doing anything wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Seems like you don't have an ext partition on your sd card.

If that's the case; read the very first post again.

Otherwise try nadlabak's new recovery - it should fix certain sd card issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897048
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
OK, can't answer you because I never faced this issue and never heard about this kind of trouble. I give you the path for moving apps but this is just L3ibnitZ who gave this tip to me some pages ago. Try to see with him, maybe he will have an answer?

I think you should have a Launcher in system/ (I think, because it's needed by Android). Don't even know if you can put them into GApps.zip ;)

Sorry, but can't help you more :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Status 7, failed symlinks is probably caused by oversized update zip.

The ext partition failed mount is probably caused by unsupported mount options. You can either use latest OpenRecovery as Eiertschik recommended or execute in recovery (console or adb): " tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

Upgrading is likely to be better option.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikcon:
Will try the new recovery thing. Bkz the corrected version of earlier build (without livewallpapers) get flashed perfectly. Issue is with the 24-09-2012 nightly only.

Thanks for quick replies & suggestions!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You have made and do have an ext partition on your sdcard?

There is a "bootable" zip of latest nightly (2012.09.24) around here.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you for the reply although you are helpless to help me.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
This has been discussed numerous times. It is fairly easy to repack update zip.

What archive manager are you using for the task?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
I am using 7Zip File Manager.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikcon:
I have around 1gb+ size ext4 partition on SD card. and the Syslink error is coming only for nightly build. the Copie version worked fine (without livewalls)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
7zip works fine for me. How are you repacking it? I've never had such issue. Even if file with a duplicate name exists it is easily overwritten.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

That one has been modified to fit into system partition. By default, latest nightly can't fit there and it fails to install.

If sd-ext exist then the error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" is most likely related to huge_file mount opts. Upgrading recovery should be the best fix.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Unzipping what? /data folder? No need. Simply add files in there. You extract files you want moved out of /system/app and then you drag them to /data/vendor/app. To delete simply select and delete.

And what the hell is Enhanced Email? Third party app? Why do want it to be in "system"? It's place is in /data/app (or sd-ext if you have an ext partition). 3rd party apps are meant to be installed the common, installer, way.

The only pupose of repacking CM10 update zip currently is to make it fit in system so you can boot it.

Stop making a mess and follow the instructions that have been provided on how to make a bootable package.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you mrvek. Unzipping ,I meant the CM10 ROM Zip file so that I can go to /data/vendor/app.My idea was to to delete the email apk from /system /app and place Enhanced Email apk (which is a better and efficient one although it is a third party) in the /data/vendor/app.But while dragging and dropping it in /data/vendor/app it does not get copied there.Instead the error message appears.I only wanted to know the reason for this.Whether third party apks are not possible to accommodate in /data/vendor/app?Actually I have ext partition and have already placed these third party apks there.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Copy the apk you wan't on Desktop. Open CM10 update zip, open data inside update zip, open vendor, open app. Try to drag apk from desktop directly into that app folder.

You should be able to pace any valid android application there (I keep 3rd party launcher in system but only because it is essential and I don't use Trebucet).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dear mrvek.It is exactly this procedure I have tried.But while dragging and dropping the apk from desktop into /data/vendor /app folder the error message appeared and continues to appear even after repeated trials.

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
I honestly do not know why you're getting this. Is this the only app that is causing problems or do some others as well? What 7zip version are you using?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Give a try to WinRar.. I've no such trouble with its trial version;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
I am very much sorry dear mrvek because I causing disturbance to you on account of this issue.Enhanced Email is not the only apk showing this problem.I have tried with other apks also such as Zeam Launcher,UCam-Ultra,QuicPic,MusixMatch,Sygic-Navigation etc.The same problem appears with these also.The Zip version I am using is 7 zip 9.22 Beta.As Quinine suggested I shall try with Win.rar.But is it a paid one?

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Winrar has a trial version, as Q.H. mentioned.

You are most likely doing something wrong.

Try to make a video screenshot of the process with some app, I'm very curious.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
OK.I tried the process with Win-rar and I could drag and drop Enhanced Email and other appks into /data/vendor/app folder successfully.No hiccups at all.So the problem was with 7Zip 9.22 Beta.Is there a version of 7Zip which is free of this trouble?Or any other similar free apk which has the same functionality of Win-rar?The Win-rar is a paid apk.I conducted the test with the trial version.

BTW what is the optimum size of the CM10 ROM that is bootable to our Milestone?

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I'm using Winrar for 4 or 5 years in trial version (don't say it :p) and the annoying fact is this pop-up but close it and you will have access to all functionnalities (at least needed ones). About the optimum size of the nightly... It has be said some pages ago, about 12Mo lighter (125Mo) if I remember well. Maybe you should come back to a stable version of 7-zip?

BTW, I'm not Quinine but Quentin himself... But it doesn't matter :p I know you're talking to me ^^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chokitodopoder:
Hello guys!

Please, I need some help. I'm trying to flash the latest build, but I'm getting the Status 7 error. Already partitioned my SD with a 1GB ext3 partition using tune2fs as instructed, updated OR to latest kabaldan's version and tried the ^huge_file trick, but still getting that error. What am I doing wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You, as a casual reader :P, are using unmodified update zip which is too large to fit into system. Reduce the size of system inside update zip to approx. 175-176MB. system/app, system/fonts and system/media is your playground.

Note that there is data/vendor/app in there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
OK,Thankyou Quintine himself for the help and sorry for quoting your name mistakenly.Accordinly I am removing 7Zip from my Lap and going with Win-rar Trial for a while.Also I am going back to your previous post to confirm regarding the optimum size of the bootable nightly.

Hi all,

till today I haven't had to use PPTP vpn tunnel and I just realized that PPTP isn't working (IPSEC Xauth PSK works fine for tunneling to other networks). On cm7 PPTP tunneling works fine also, so im just wondering am I only one with this issue(I've searched this thread and someone reported same issue few monts ago, not sure if it got resolved for him).

I'm using latest CM10 nightly...

Sorry for spamming this thread if this is known bug for cm10. (maybe it's not bug, maybe it's feature. :) )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chokitodopoder:
Yes, unfortunattelly I don't have as much time as I wanted to be more dedicated to this. Anyway, did the math, and flashed. Thank you very much again, mrvek.

[CM10] nightly build - unofficial

Unofficial CM10 nightly build. 04.10.2012.

As usual, all credits and thanks go to kabaldan for his amazing work.

Note that this build was primarily made for my use and experimet so you might not be happy with it. Please make nandroid backup so you can go back easily if necessary.

Some changes:

Added selectable Soft keyboard type in messaging app - enter to select emoji, enter for new line or send
Camera zoom with volume buttons
Phone: Disable accelerometer sensor while in-call and screen UI is off
Added option to keep proximity sensor on during calls using a headset. The option is uncheckd by default. AOSP default behavior is to turn off the proximity sensor when the user have a wired or bluetooth headset
Mms - Insert Emoji and Smiley at Cursor position: Emoji and Smiley insertions in "Compose message" and "QuickMessage" append to the end of message text. Enhance operation by inserting the Emoji or Smiley text at the current cursor position. Add similar consistent 'insert' functionality for Template text insertion at cursor, replace Tabs with spaces.
Mms: Prevent QuickMessage popup force closing when receiveing Mms. QuickMessage currently only supports SMS.
Calculator: New Features - it is, mostly, an advanced scientific calculator now.
Added/updated bunch of languages (Russian, German, Hebrew, Danish, Croatian, Italian, Czech, Dutch, Portugese, Hungarian...)
Many other changes and fixes

Deviantions (from default nightly type):

- things that probably shouldn't be there:

- back button kill timeout reduced to 750 miliseconds (if you have that option enabled be careful not to kill apps unintentionaly)

- things changed to make it boot

- removed Korean fonts

- removed CyanTone.ogg ringtone (default ringtone is now Pyxis.ogg)

- removed tts files from /system/tts (weird as it should have went to /cdrom but removing it helped)

- moved Apollo, Email, Exchange, Gallery, PicoTts, QuickSearchBox, Toggle2G. Torch, VoiceDialer to /data/vendor/app

File size: 127162763 bytes

MD5: d662e99bb3d5a211b19128dfd6a24755

Download

Removed files can be downloaded from the attachements if you need them but note that you'll need to make compromises yourself if you wish to squeeze them into system (CyanTone ringtone should fit without moving/removing additional files, path is /system/media/audio/ringtones, correct permissions is root for owner and group and rw-r-r for access)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
Any difference from Skrilax_CZ's 24/09/2012 nightly? I thought Kabaldan currently focus on 2nd boot, no change on CM10...

Or you are a kind soul that help many by make nightly flashable & bootable, so more people can enjoy new life in Milestone. Thumb-up for Mrvek.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Yes, I've updated changes a little bit. There are ~11 days of commits and it is a pain to go through them all. Also note that this was primarily made for myself what means that kabaldan would made it better and most likely manualy included/excluded some other changes while I use automatic way (repo sync; except for where it breaks the build process).

I'm no good soul or a good samaritan, it was along the way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MaxLe:
Does ad-hoc wifi working with the latest CM10 ? (04.10 one)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I have no success with it in the 09.24 nightly and i havent seen any related fix on github, so i guess it doesn't work in 04.10 either.

Thanks for this nice work. Any bugs? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
A project of such a large scale is bound to have bugs. Some are dicovered sooner, some later, others mybe never. I myself have not noticed anything significant but it probably depends on how you use it.

Logical keyboard is not working for me. I understand you didn't remove it from your above "changelog". Is anyone experience this or did I miss something?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikcon:
I have sd ext partition and using it. Can you please post the link of bootable zip nightly? or should I wait for another nightly for this month?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
buildbot is working

I had not issues with my keyboards.

Anyway, official (kabaldan's) are back on buildbot

It seems that there is no need to repack them and move things around, it should work as is, by simply wiping cache and applying update zip. :)

Nice update. Thank you.

Edit: Crap, install fails: "format expects 5 args, got 3".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Al936:
There is mistake in updater-script. The string format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system"); must be as format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", 0, "/system");
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I think we should wait the next official release with 2ndBoot (Kernel tweak) OR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Will the next release have 2ndboot?

Where did you read it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
It is just the next logical step after having a fully working second boot for CM7. Oh and Kabaldan said in IRC that he is working on it :)

New Nightly CM10-20121015

Would like to know whether any one tried this new Nightlly 20121015.And what are it's improvements over the previous ones. Does this also requires reducing the size in order become bootable in our Milestone?

Waiting to hear with thanks in advance,

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
IT'S FINALLY HERE!

The latest nightly is the first 2ndboot CM10.

-zRam is set to 18% by default

-updated to Android 4.1.2

-no need to delete stuffs, installs as it is

First impressions: the first boot takes long,long,loooooong time and after it, it's laggy and slow as hell. But after a few minutes, the laggyness goes away and everything works like charm.

I'll test it in the next few days.

(i uploaded a screenshot of the About Phone)

Update: Swapper2 works fine. The laggyness is kind of weird. Sometimes the system and the apps run smooth but sometimes it's just laggy.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Just 2 questions:

is lagginess visible after boot before first deep suspend as in CM7?

is lagginess present wether you're using swap or not?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
1. Yes

2. Swap (zRam, 26%, in my case) helps a lot. From performance perspective CM7 is smoother but CM10 is worth a try. (there is always full nandroid restore as an option (after backup, of course))
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
I've not been clear enough with my questions...

I wanted to know if lagginess came after boot and lasted ONLY till the next deep suspend (that is expected as stated by Kab) or lasted after first deep suspend.

Also, I wanted to know if lagginess is present even with COMPCACHE only, without swap.

Apart from that, I do know CM10 qualities ;) Thanks for hints, anyway
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
You've been clear enough.

zRam has been called compcache in the past (still is quite often)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Hi all,

Just a little feedback on this new nightly.

A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG first boot (about 10 or 12min !) and unhappily the ROM is less smooth but fastest. For example, the app drawer is a bit laggy when scrowling but speed of transition is better than before (due to use of zRam). It's the beginning of something for sure but it will not turn your Milestone into a new smartphone like SIII (I'm sure some of you were expecting that ^^). It's just really awesome to see CM10 working on our Milestone and usable as a daily phone!

BTW, now I've more than 34Mb RAM free :D (less than 4Mb before). It may score more when base is a fresh install.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
A little update.

My phone is running for some hour on the newest nightly. zRam is set to default (18%) + 32mb swap (via swapper2) + Performance cpu governor.

There are still some lag, but the overall experience is better, faster. I mean sometimes it's really fast! My phone has between 40 and 50MB free ram at the moment.

update: I disabled the CM Updater app (i don't think it's is useable for us anyway) and stable 62MB free rom. (and GMaps is running)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
Very bad idea.

Performance governor ramps the CPU to 1000MHz all the time without clocking it down which generates heat and drains the battery in no time. You shouldn't use it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
i did a clean flash on latest cm10 Nightlly 20121015, wipe data + cache + dalvik. but i still keep having error message "Insufficience storage available" when ever i install app from play store. How can is resolve this problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Whether the occasional disconnection of network is still now?

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I know how it works. But (i don understand how) my battery lasts longer and the performance is better than with Interactive governor. :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Yeah, still some network disconnection!

I'm trying the ROM with 18%zram and 32MB swapper as someone is using these parameters (I'm on my phone so I can't see other post when answering). It seems less laggy. BTW, battery is draining. I will use one of batteries I bought and tell you if it's still the case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
From which try did you usually manage to boot into cm10 with custom kernel? My average is 3 tries (3 boots), first 2 tries it halts at 2ndboot screen(custom kernel loading) and only battery removal helps. :)

BTW, I love new multitasking possibilities with compcache.

Great work as usual
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I've installed the new nightly (10.16) and it's worth upgrading because it boots faster (a lot faster!!!).

There is even less lag after the first boot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Thank you Erovia for the update. I would not check if there is a new update without your intervention ^^.

@Kabaldan

I think I've found a "bug" in OR_2nd Boot (will post it later on the topic if nobody found an answer for me here): I'm using a third battery and a third USB Charger and my battery seems to NOT charge in OR (maybe unable 1% step battery not ported to OR?) (Status: Unknown and no LED)

EDIT: I can't even boot with an empty third battery. Black screen so I'll give it a second try when my original battery has done the work (first boot).

After first boot (after flashing ROM), all seems to be fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
@walker666, about boot retry count

never had to retry. Simply, first boot needs a quarter...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
(if i understand you, you have third-party battery and charger)

In 2ndboot CM10, does it work properly?

If not, maybe your battery is not working the way as an original one does.

I'm using FuFu's latest OR (it is based on kabaldan's 2ndboot OR) and original battery and it works fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Acctually, first boot needs a quarter only if it gets to cm10 bootanimation, in my case first 2 tries never get to cm10 bootanimation, so it halts forever on 2ndboot screen. :)

Every other reboot also usually halts(2 of 3 times average) and shift+alt+del doesn't help, only battery removal.

I installed new cm10 (16.10.) and didn't experienced same issue, but I booted only once.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Yeah it's well charging in all ROMs including latest CM10 (don't trust my signature). And yeah, you understood right.

I'm on original 2ndBoot OR, no problem for now except it doesn't charge third-party batteries (I own two) in recovery and can't receive the level of battery except the level when booting (will not change). I have this issue with EVERY ROM that has 1% step enabled, and this issue is solved by unchecking this setting. It is exactly the same problem with the OR so maybe it will have the same solution?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Actually the market IS working... what sort of problems are you experiencing?

Oh, one thing. I was not able to buy from the market app. Had to go to the website and buy there. It then installs automatically.
