hello, i can´t flash the last rom, give me en error on recovery. any one have the same issue?

open recovery: minimod
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Do you have an sd-ext partition? My guess is that there is not enough room for the stuffs on your phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elhugo3:
thank you, download it again and I could install the rom. very happy with the speed for now, check the zram option, I have to do something else to make it work? any partition or something? I have a 512MB ext2
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I recommend converting your ext2 to ext4. It's more secure and advanced.

Using swap instead of zram is better, in my opinion.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elhugo3:
Ok i tray to convert to ext4, any tip?

I have to create a swap partition or how? Thanks

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
To convert from ext 2 to 4 you may use some program like Minitool Partition Wizard (if it has got ext4 option, not shure at the moment) or similar programs. Buit I do believe you need to create from scratch the partition in the file system you need it to be using this method. Or you can also convert it using for example FuFu´s MiniMod revovery (it has got an option on it to convert the partition for you-very handy indeed).

:good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
The easiest way is by using FuFu's MiniMod. It can convert ext2 to ext3 and then ext3 to ext4.

But first, create a nandroid backup from you sd-ext partiton and after the converting you can restore it so you don't lose your apps and data.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elhugo3:
Thanks a lot both of you. I will tray to convert later.

I use supercharger v6 and seeder and have many FC and lags, wath can i do? Sorry for my english

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sandman21dan:
Is there a way (like by console) of checking if a swap partition is made on sd card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
@elhugo3: Entropy seeding is built into all kabaldan's CM for some time now, so there is no need for seeder.

Enable entropy feeding from the OMAP3 hardware random number generator

@Sandman21dan: In Terminal Emulator type the followings:

ls /dev/block/ | grep mmcblk0p

It will list you all the partitions on your sd card.

Basically mmcblk0p1 is the fat partition, mmcblk0p2 is the ext partition and mmcblk0p3 is the swap partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
I tried FuFu's MiniMod to convert my Ext3 to Ext4.The OR log showed "changed ext3 to ext4".But I had a doubt.So I checked the card with MiniTool.It showed the partition still as Ext3.So I changed the ext to ext4 there itself.But afterwards I encountered with another problem.When tried to restore some apks with Titanium Backup, it says the memory is full.So I formatted the SDCard with Sd Formatter,partitioned again with MiniTool (this time directly to Ext4) and reflashed the ROM .Now while restoring the apks with Titanium Backup there was no problem.So what was the reason for the earlier issue?

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Idk.

I partitioned my card with Parted from the OR Console. After that I converted it to ext4 with FuFu's MiniMod. When I checked it in Parted it showed as ext4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
In case of you are still using the stock launcher, you should look for an alternative one. You can find HERE a few good one.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
CM9 is smaller and a little lighter on system requirements.

Also TI doesn't released the GPU's driver for JB, so the current CM10s run with the ICS driver.

I like CM10 more, because -in my opinion- the JB's UI is more user-friendly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elhugo3:
CM10'll try and hope it works better. thanks a lot.....

I do believe this question is a little diferent from what is being discussed on this thread, but since there are many users using the Milestone around here (if not all), I though I did not need to create another thread just to ask this.

As anyone tried this app on your Milestones?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104326

I´ve taken a look at what the app does and many people say it indeed helps reducing Android lag which happens over time. The thing is, the app seems to have hardbricked several Samsung devices and also some Acer one´s due to a bug on there firmware NAND controllers... I´ve already tested the command "mount | get discard" and it does not indicate any "-discard" usage on the mount partition options (which should rule the device imcompatible with the app if it reported any "-discard" usage on the partition mount options).

Still, as Milestone is an "old" device for today standarts, I still believe its NAND chip controller might not use the modern TRIM technique to "rearrange" its usable sectors. But the only way to be shure is trying the app out...

As anyone been courageous enough to try the app for what its worth?:confused::D It seems the Dev is ruling out compatibility with devices on Google Play as reports of the app not working and of harbricks arrive to his OP thread... which shurely is a pain in the arse for someone who happens to try it and sees his device broken...

Any idea on this anyone?

Thanks.

P.S: I just double checked and came to the conclusion that because I´m using app2ext (all apps on SDCard), that app will not do the job for me, as it works its "magic" on internal partitions (my internal DATA partition is pratically empty). Still the lag which appears after a few days use must be due to a similar behaviour as on the internal DATA partition (this partition fills with data and the lag begins). Isn´t there a way to do the same the LagFix app does, but applied to the SDCard partitions?... that would be a good thing...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
on 2.2.1 the app did no work... only a error that the trim methode is not supportet...

on android-hilfe.de also someone in cm7 thread ask if the app will helps, but i nobody realy test it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Thanks man :good:

But as I mencioned above I read further and understood the app only works on internal chips, since I´m using my apps on the SDCard (lack of internal space on the "Stone") I will need another solution for the lag problem. I wish someone would know how to go about minimizing/fixing this issue on Android).

Thanks again. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Milestone is not using eMMC for the internal storage and SD cards do not support trim.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I bought a new sdcard. Same size as previous one 8gb but this one is class 10. I created the partitions with the same size as the one before (6.4gb fat32, 1gb ext2 and 80mb swap aprox.), then copied everything from the fat partition from the original to the new.

Also, I did and ext2 (sdcard) nandroid from the old card, copied to the new card and restored it so I would have all the stuff from the old card on the new one.

I boot with the new one and the card doesn't seem to be recognized. Only bundled apps show up and in the file manager I see sd-ext but there's nothing on it. And I don't even see /sdcard. Am I missing somethin?

Thanks!

Oh, the new card is a 8GB Sandisk SDHC Class 10.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
If you conect the phone to a pc, is the sdcard recognized as a storage device and can you explore it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Try reformatting your card entirely with this tool.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Apparently it was a formatting problem. It works now. Thanks!!

Some issues I got (and I´m still having) a few days ago. I though the sms messages not being received (probably due to low memory space on ram) had been solve on ICS and forward. Using CM7 with the lock sms messages app in memory I did not have any more problem relating this (it was fixed?...), but a few days ago I, once again, stoped receiving sms all of a sudden... Went to do a reset, the "online" ICs cm9 reset option did not work (the touch option on the reset button did nothing). Had to nandroid restore the phone. When I did so, all of the sms sent previously to me came one after the other into my sms app... I though all was good, but some things aren´t as they were before. For example the Google Talk is no longer installed. Google Play store app spits back an error relating not finding a server, and the virtual keyboard is simply no longer available (in any entry, being it for sms, google search or browser). I have to use the physical keyboard to be able to text stuff...

I´ve already re-transfered the nandroid backup files to the sdcard a couple of times (excluding transfer errors), but still, the same thing happens. Maybe I´m dealing with a corrupted Nandroid Backup? If so, it is the first time the backup fails on me:rolleyes: When using cm7 and other previous android versions, all went good relating restores (was using apps on the sdcard-the backup I did of them was using the copy /paste option) and nandroid only backed up system/internal data,etc. Maybe this time the ext2 partition backup got corrupted?... Do not know if it is the case.

Will try regular install and titanium restore afterwards, to see how it goes (but if nandroid backup always fails backing up the ext partition, it is a pain in the ass...) :(. Having to reconfigure stuff all over again is not that simple.

Anyone had similar problems somewhere along the way?

Also, relating locking apps in memory, anyone knows if the tutorials around XDA for CM7 and previous versions also work on ICs? If so, I will try them on my phone for the sms app to see how it goes. Love android, but for almost 2 years of use I have had this sms problem...which is a pain...I need my phone to work correctly for my daily use (sms wise). And this is NOT a cm9 issue, it is common to almost all android versions as I´m seeing...:confused:

Thanks for any idea anyone. :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
I was also facing several issues with the CM9.1.0d.There appeared one problem after one each in series.So being fed up after several trials with it including redownloading the ROM afresh and applying, I returned to CM10 and am with the latest nightly for about a month.It is far more smooth and does not give me any problem in my daily use,particularly after incorporating the latest 2ndboot by Kabladan.

R: [ROM] CyanogenMod 9.1.0d (Android 4.0.4) [20130107]

Maybe you have a link2sd or similar app installed? Maybe conflicts with internal management?

Also: your system partition is full (almost). Try moving libraries to ext; android needs to "feel" free space in system, I think
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Thanks for the reply man:good:

I do know for shure Link2sd or similar apps are no longer in my system (Link 2sd never worked on CM9 for me) and I did not try any other similar app. Only app2ext (original cm9 script) was doing the job for me. It all went downhill when I needed to restore a cm9 backup...

Relating the low system space, it always ended up like that when installing cm9 on my phone -7MB available I believe) It worked fine before the restore. Never had an issue. Also I´m using the lib2ext command to "link" all lib files to ext partition after app installation... Do not see what might be wrong:rolleyes:

Will try another cm9 reinstallation, this time with a smaller ext partition and trying to install less apps than before to see how it goes.

Thanks again man. Appreciate the effort.

caller screen

I am facing a problem for some time.When I make an outgoing call or when an incoming call comes the caller screen of my Milestone does not keep on.It goes black and appears sometimes the blue screen saying "call finished" when the call is done.Because of this disappearance of red caller screen I can't manage the calls such as call forward,call divert,call wait etc.However, when the keyboard slider is slightly opened the caller appears also.What is the remedy for this? If this is the problem with the senser will the disabling of the senser help to solve the issue?And what is the procedure to disable the senser?Whether this can be done in the Build.prop?If so,which line is to be edited and what is the correct command?Waiting with thanks for detailed instructions from anybody....

pnsdhrn
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Relating your problem, I too have had it for sometime (specially on previous versions). I do believe it must indeed be due to erratic ambient light sensor behaviour or even the proximity sensor. Could not find a fix for it, and also do not know if it is possible to disable the sensor activity via scripts or not. Lately, I have not been having troubles with it though, so I´m afraid I can´t be of further help. But I do confirm it is really anoying when it happens. We have no power whatsoever for using the GUI Call app options when it happens...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There's a workaround for broken proximity sensors (a hardware issue, quite common after e.g. user replaced touch screen) available in all current CM7/9/10 builds - a short press of camera button emulates a 'proximity far' input event. So the camera button can be used to turn on the display after it was turned off by proximity sensor (and it's not activated automatically again when the phone is moved away from ear/head/body).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you very much dear great Kabaldan for your invaluable information.I tried with the Camera button and it really works! But alas ! I do not see the Thanks button in your reply to press it for you...

unable to use data

I just downgraded my milestone to 2.1 and then reflashed it to 9.0 as i was not getting any 3g data working. But still now the same thing is happening. I am not able to use 2g or 3g data

Please help
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Try to upgrade to 2.2. Kabaldan's roms uses and needs the baseband software from the 2.2 rom to work properly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Furthermore: Change the baseband to your country's.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Eiertschik is right, first of all check your baseband settings. Its in the Setting / Advanced submenu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Yes, but if he truly downgraded everything to 2.1, including BPSW, then he needs to upgrade to 2.2, reflash CM and THEN switch baseband.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Kabaldan has already built a new ROM 7.2.4f in CM7.Perhaps these new changes might have been incorporated in this one.

Motorola drivers for UBUNDU

May I ask a doubt if anybody won't object?The OS of my laptop has been changed to Ubundu.So can I install Motorola drivers for this Ubundu version so that I can read and copy files in the SD card of my Milestone by connecting USB code with the laptop?If it is possible from where I can download the specific drivers?My phone is now reverted to CM9 9.1.0d.

Waitings with thanks....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
You don't need Motorola drivers to copy files from/to SD card.

The phone behaves like a standard USB mass storage device - any OS from the past 10 years supports this out of the box.

Hi, I have a swap partition of 260mb but my phone seems to use only about 50mb (I see it in terminal emulator).can I modify how much swap system uses? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pt0:
Give it some time. It will increase.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
It depends on the script you're using. By the way, you don't want your effectively used swap to get as big as your partition: swap is a bit more like a "ram pages parking slot", so it will grow when "swapping" between active and "less active" app. Since as you know swap is freaking slow if compared with real ram, your desired used swap size is "as low as loading my needed apps needs". Also, swap won't help if your favourite app single process consumes alone more than you real ram, since the "active/less active" game won't fit...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] muro18:
I'm using the stock script in cm9.1.0d. So there is no a way to modify how the script uses swap? Thanks for answer..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnsdhrn:
You have to check up whether this issue of touch screen response persists still with other ROMs like CM9 and CM7 also.If it persists,then the problem is not with CM10, it is a case of hardware problem,ie,broken digitizer.You will have to replace it.You will be able to get a new one from ebay.Search for A853 Digitizer,get it and replace the old one with it by an expert technician.Hope this may help you...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Did you flash GApps?

If not: do it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] artoni:
The Rom works well unless you dont use many apps. Because of the low ram memory its to slow when you open to many apps. Sometimes you have to wait about 3-4 seconds until whatsapp opens. It cool to know that ICS works on the milestone, but I will go back to Gingerbread, because the hardware can handle that.

Thank you for your good Rom! You take the maximum of the device!
