This is really nice!

Did someone test mobile hotspot/wifi tether? if not would someone? ^^

regards

Steven
[Milestone 2 General] devilthehellraiser:
For unknown bug go to dialer setting and click show numbers or something like that already posted on defy page......
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Fist of all, would like to thank you for your great work.

Camera does work indeed...that's a small step for a man and giant leap for MS2 :)

BTW is it just me or noone else is bothered this not working Caps Lock on HW keyboard?

Thanks again.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Thanks for that but the option gets greyed out really quickly :D. It has to be done fast. Got it fixed.

The option you have to select is dialer/dialer settings/additional setting/caller ID/show number

Caps lock on HW keyboard seems to be fine.

Edit: wi-fi hotspot works with Barnacle wifi tether.
[Milestone 2 General] walter79:
Thanks for this build.

It boot up on defy. (GB kernel build)

Encryption faild. How can i disable this?

edit: fixed Data was wrong mounted on defy it is mmcblk25 and not 26
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
Thanks, the way my call log looks was starting to annoy me :) Works here too, though I don't get why such a change.

I removed the file manager (and Torch I think?). The file manager is not included in official CM9 branch, besides I don't like it anyway ;)
[Milestone 2 General] walter79:
Camera works for defy with bayer module.

I have to add this to build.prop

ro.media.capture.flip=horizontalandvertical

BIG BIG THANKS
[Milestone 2 General] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Thanks, rondoval! Awesome!

IN YOUR FACE, MOTOROLA!!!
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
Hi,

A question :)

- how did you did that? Have you extracted the driver? It depends on a change in libui.so... (I'm thinking about moving the overlay code from libui to the driver itself - hw/camera.milestone2.so, so that all the code will be in a single lib)

- what does ro.media.capture.flip do?

The whole concept of this "driver" is pretty generic, it just translates between the new camera interface and old camera interface, so theoretically it should work with any libcamera.so, translating ICS requests for it.

The thing is there are two modes in which "old" camera driver operates: using callbacks or overlays. The Atrix uses callbacks, I have added overlays, so it now covers both options. Assuming I haven't broke callbacks.

There are currently two milestone-specific things in the code, I suspect you have stumbled into one of these with the ro.media.capture.flip
[Milestone 2 General] walter79:
ro.media.capture.flip ... is needed to invert the picture and the preview for defy. All defy builds froyo and gingerbread use this. I can use Milestone 2 froyo or gb builds from Milestone 2 on defy. libcamera is the same on defy+

edit:

I changed the multitouch module. I use the new one from CM9 defy.
[Milestone 2 General] ndogxj:
Good news for our defy users.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Yeah. Not much of a bother for me either. I installed jrummy's Root Browser. He has given it out free for xda. May be you can include that in your ROM.

And you are almost to 10 posts. :)
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
@Sahilarora,

How stable is the ROM? I didn't have a chance to test it, just checked the if the camera is working. And is the cam fix built on tezets ROM?
[Milestone 2 General] harisit2005:
Rondoval---Thanks for this awesome work...

I think now you can move this thread to developer section..so more people will notice it...
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
The ROM is stable enough. I do not remember any random reboots, though once I was stuck on the boot animation and it was not my first boot. Pulled off battery and booted again without problems. Dialer 'unknown' error has a workaround. Wi-Fi tether works with Barnacle wi-fi tether app. Bluetooth is not available and there is no file manager built in the ROM.

The camera works as described in the first post. It is not available for Tezet's ROM yet.
[Milestone 2 General] ylqiu:
thanks.
[Milestone 2 General] ylqiu:
i was stock on boot animation when i flashed zip sometimes.then i pulled off battery and phone booted normally.
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Thanks for the feedback...I don't care much about tethering, haven't used it...file manager I can live with...but I guess I will have to set the dialer/contact issue.

Thanks for all your work and time you spent on developing this ROM.
[Milestone 2 General] DolphinWing:
Great! We can expect our MS2 having the ICS soon.

BIG BIG THANKS for your awesome work!!
[Milestone 2 General] mrxrsd:
nice work! running smoothly here =)
[Milestone 2 General] RufusThorne:
Excellent work! I'm awarding you Teh Internets!

Performance is solid as a rock with this ROM. Camera works exactly as advertised.

I understand the 720p drivers are proprietary by Motorola? If this is the case, could your camera 'translation layer' be adapted to pass ICS requests for video too?

Is this mod a pure CM7, or stock GB kernel with 2nd-init?

Once again, bloody well done, lad!

I shall be checking this thread every day for updates, and getting a donation in order...
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:
Great work. I've just tested it, works almost perfect for me. Tried camera and it works well. However, im having problems with data and mobile network connection.

Im coming from CM7 by Tezet, just wiped data, cache, and flashed this rom. Cannot conect to my carrier, so I cant connect to 3G data either. Ive tried baseband switcher to no avail.

Anybody having issues with this? Im from Mexico by the way, and have tried all the roms available for Milestone 2, never had this kind of problems before. (My carrier, Telcel, use 850 band)

Anyway, the rom is very smooth.
[Milestone 2 General] tony_the_unik:
try to delete APN in your mobile data setting. i have had this problem in an other rom.

sorry for my english
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Well, the baseband switcher mostly never works for me. So, as a last resort, I normally copy the contents of bp_nvm_default from my last ROM in which I faced no signal issues and copy them to the new ROM (where I'm facing signal problems). The full path is /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default. There will some 18 odd files. You can try this approach. You can use an app like Root Browser or Root Explorer copying.

It may work.
[Milestone 2 General] Legza:
It seems that bluetooth does not work here :(

Perhaps I don't know if it was working on Tezet's CM9.
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:
Thanks, that works!. Now everything is running as expected. XD
[Milestone 2 General] mrxrsd:
bluethooth works fine in tezet´s cm9. I never had any problem..seems to be a problem only in rondoval´s cm9.
[Milestone 2 General] ssjmichal:
Ive got question - Few options have nothing else than "Preference Stub" - this means that they are not currently supported? Such as Themes or so ?

Edit:

Also - Has anyone expirenced a problem with latest Opera Mobile ? I have fresh CM 9 , installed Opera Mobile 12.0 and after first Opera Mobile Logo screen goes black.
[Milestone 2 General] Legza:
Yeah, the problem is here. Logcat says that BT service has not been started or something like that.

BTW, if anyone is interested, here is the patch for 1% battery counter (backported from Defy CM9 20120226). Please don't forget to make backups first :)
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
I've got a fix for bluetooth, will include it in next build.
[Milestone 2 General] Lutis:
cant wait for that. big thank to you :D
[Milestone 2 General] siakgayyem:
I tried this rom after a factory wipe with cache and dalvik wipe. It booted up the first time and i noticed it didnt ask me to create an account. Upon further playing around with it, i noticed there were no google apps (market etc). I then went to recovery and installed google apps (an old version from nov of 2011 i think) when i rebooted, it prompted me to click on the android to set up the phone but an error came up. It was like something (app) could not be started. And i got stuck at the screen prompting me to click on the android and emergency calls only. What did i do wrong
[Milestone 2 General] ylqiu:
can't play videos, hope to fix it.thank you!
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Installed wrong version of google apps. Check Tezet's thread in DEV section for the correct version of Google apps for ICS.
[Milestone 2 General] Legza:
Or download the latest version from here
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
My mobile network keeps going completely blank every now and then. I have to restore it by the fix suggested by sahilarora.(copying the contents of bp_nvm_default )

In addition to that the mobile data is not working 2G or 3G. Initially it works but after a reboot its gone. Anyone else facing this problem?

But the rest of the ROM is pretty stable.
[Milestone 2 General] jimbo0815:
big thanks to rondoval - awesome!

rondoval when will the next build come? only a appraisal - like in 3 days or 3 weeks..
[Milestone 2 General] gambiarraweb1:
very, good ROM, I was using Tezet, 28/01/12, I will test this now, since the camera is running! : D
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
Maybe tomorrow... but I'm not promising anything :)

No big changes to the camera for now, maybe a bit more stable.
[Milestone 2 General] devilthehellraiser:
Video working on defy gb kernal works now.....
[Milestone 2 General] Legza:
rondoval,

Is it possible to merge the code of 1% battery from Defy into your build in future?

Of course, I understand that it is not a priority now :)
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
2G/3G (or mobile data) does tend to go to sleep and not wake up. The problem was there in Tezet's ROM too (or at least I faced it :D). You can enable airplane mode and disable it. This will return mobile data.
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
I've got the issue with mobile data too, I haven't look into it though. You can also make a button on the menu bar to disable/enable data, it's faster than airplane mode.

I have fixed the stability issue with the camera. Turns out it was solved on the Atrix branch long time ago... There's an upstream change from CM9 that breaks binary compatibility with Gingerbread, so the GB camera driver was corrupting memory. After reverting the change camera is stable, and it's possible to enter panorama and video modes. There's a preview in video, but it contains some garbage. Shouldn't be hard to fix. Certainly much easier with the driver not crashing randomly.

I fixed assisted GPS too, got fix in 4s this morning.

BTW: ten posts... so next build will be in dev area.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
That is just awesome news. Bluetooth, assisted GPS n camera, things getting better n better. Looking forward to the next build.

Hope you can get something done about the mobile data issue as well.
[Milestone 2 General] ylqiu:
looking forward to the next build+1.i got MOTOIME from razr‘s android 4.0 rom.maybe someone will be interest in this.but i dont know which website i should upload. sorry for my poor english...
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
Wow rondoval,

That's awesome news and great work by you!!! Looks like we need not go back to GB based ROMS after all :D.

Waiting eagerly for the new build.
[Milestone 2 General] Lutis:
I just check your github. it seems the video recording is working and according to new media profiles, the 720p rec works too?

anyway,thanks for your efforts on our ms2:)
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Guys,

I have a problem, I flashed the ROM and everything was working fine, then i decided to boot into recovery via Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap and when the phone was rebooting it got stuck on Google (with M and CM logos in it) and it stays like that for a while now.

Tried to pull out battery and reboot again, no success.

Also tried to pull out battery, hold X power up wait until triangle with exclamation mark and then release X and press @ button to get into recovery but the screen remains the same.

Trying to connect to PC and flash via RSD but whenever I put in the battery the phone power up, PC does not detect the phone, so as RSD Lite does not detect it.

Still experimenting...trying to bring my phone to life.

Sorry this may not be the right thread but I am open to your suggestions and advices.

Thanks in advance.
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
Does the LED light up for a while when it boots (blue I think)? If it does, try pressing volume down key when it does.
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
No LED does not even turn on...I was able to make PC and RSD to detect the phone, by holding Vol Down and Camera buttons pull out battery and then put it back again...it's in the process of rebooting as i type...should be fine now.

Thanks for the prompt support Rondoval ;)

I was wrong with my judgement...now the phone is stuck on Stock ROM boot...Moto logo keeps coming up and that it is...
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
the @ key doesn't work if you are on GB ROM. After you get to the stock recovery after pressing the "X" key you need to press the VOl + and VOL- keys together to get to the stock recovery. The @ key works for Froyo only. Try to reboot to recovery and then clear data and reboot again. This usually works.
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Thanks a lot you just saved my day...was able to power up and load on stock gb rom.

Have to charge now, then will flash this rom and hopefully will not have any problems.
[Milestone 2 General] Samwan:
Would you please explain me how to implement the driver to the ICS of another device or is it a difficult task for a non-developer?
[Milestone 2 General] hiroshi38:
Hi, i have a big problem :(

I have the google logo and after nothing (black screen...).

When i boot with X, my phone is stuck on google logo...

My milestone 2 are dead ?
[Milestone 2 General] Samwan:
The good point is, due to the locked bootloader we can't brick them.

did you first press X and then power?

Press X, hold X pressed, press Power while holding X!
[Milestone 2 General] hiroshi38:
Stuck on google logo... :'(
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
Did you try clearing data and factory reset from the recovery menu? . It's highly unlikely that your phone is dead :) so don't worry
[Milestone 2 General] hiroshi38:
I can't access in the recovery menu... ><'
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
can you see a blue light (the notification light) when the phone is booting from power off state?
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
This is what I did, ran RSD Lite on PC connected my phone via USB cable, pulled out my battery, pressed down and hold Volume Down and Camera button, and put battery back (still holding the buttons) waited until RSD detected my phone...then flashed with GB sbf...and then i was able to get into recovery menu..you know with the same X and Vol Up&Vol Down buttons.

Hope this helps
[Milestone 2 General] hiroshi38:
I have access to the Bootloader and i have my phone in Rsd Lite :D

Thank's Megalith27 !!!

But the SBF of french 2.3.4 in and-developers com/sbf:milestone2 (multiupload dead ?)
[Milestone 2 General] jimbo0815:
thanks <3

if the bug

"- there's a bug with contacts showing as "Unknown" in the dialer (while you dial)."

is fixed, its a beta status + a daily useful rom.

"What is not working:

- panorama shots

- video recording"

are only sweets at the moment.

i also would advise you (it would be nice), to post it as a 'beta' in the "Android Developer" section. edit your first post here - with a big red line and link it to the new thread. the people will adore you :D
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Now I have a problem with setting up Exchange email account, it either says that it can not connect to server or it tries to install PKCS#12 from SD card.

I remember having similar problem with Tezet's CM9 ROM but that went away after few attempts to set up exchange email.

I was able to set up my work email with K9 but the problem is I cant sync the calendar thru K9.

Any advise.

P.S. And yes, almost all multiupload link I have tried are all dead.
[Milestone 2 General] rondoval:
New version at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528084
[Milestone 2 General] Regaddi:
Seems we need to wait for another version with working SIM unlock ;)

Really looking forward to it!

When SIM unlock works, the ROM would give me all I need for daily use :)
[Milestone 2 General] Megalith27:
Thanks a lot for your had work rondoval...you're the hero ;)

Will I be able to flash this version via "install update from zip"? Has anyone tried that?
[Milestone 2 General] tony_the_unik:
i have installed this rom via "install update from zip" , and it work fine ;)
[Milestone 2 General] Gustavo_s:
Rondoval there is a bug on your build that was on tezet's first builds too, when i connect my ms2 to pc using usb it turns on mobile data.

great work thanks.
[Milestone 2 General] chippoke:
Okay I flashed this using Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap coming from CM7 and all I am getting is the google cyanogenmod logo and than a blank black screen with no background light turned on. Is this supposed to happen? I did a full Wipe befor flashing.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
You probably installed wrong version of the ROM. You should choose CH version if you were on Froyo kernel earlier (or Tezet's CM7) and choose EU version if you were on GB kernel (stock GB or CM7 by Endless7 uses that kernel).

Plus there is a new version of this over at DEV section.
[Milestone 2 General] chippoke:
oh okay, I suppose i was at Froyo Kernel then, thank you. Will go on sbf flash ...

edit:

Okay sry to ask again. I just flashed stock 2.3.4 and my Kernel-Version is called 2.6.32.9-g7d2667a kxcr64@zin22lnxdroid30 #1

Just to make sure, I have to flash the EU version now, am I right?
[Milestone 2 General] chippoke:
is it possible to fix the sim lock bug?
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Yes. Though I would have advised you to stay on Froyo and hence CH kernel with the ROM.

I think it should be available soon, though there is no fix released by any DEVs for us yet. I think it is already resolved over in Defy section. We can expect it to be available for us too in future builds.
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
Bluetooth is OK.

Bluetooth Tethering, USB Tethering and WIFI Tethering are NOT working in this version, nor the newest tezet´s version.
[Milestone 2 General] carlimgomes:
The keyboard does not light up, somebody has any idea might be??
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
U must use the automatic brightness to do.
[Milestone 2 General] carlimgomes:
I don't know how, can I say??
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
configuration - screen - brightness - Auto brightness

[pt-BR] configuração - tela - brilho - brilho automático

Ok, tried to make some pictures with Vignette and suddenly my phone is behaving very weird. It touch is messed up and some apps are starting suddenly. I cannot touch the screen anymore, even after rebooting...

After doing nothing a couple of minutes it looks like the problem is solved...

Edit: problem was back, I will try to make a video of it.

Edit2: it looks like the problem does not occur anymore...

I will keep an eye on it
[Milestone 2 General] milestones:
I guess this is yet one of the best ICS ROMs for the Milestone 2 due to working camera and GPS. Nevertheless, the QWERTZ cursor keys are messed up and the Torch application is missing.

In the attachment, the missing files are provided. I fixed the key layout file, the Torch.apk was taken from CM9-20120128-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-eu and seems to work on my device.

In order to install there, you would need to mount your /system partition as rewritable with the following command on a terminal:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system

Then, you can copy the umts_milestone2-keypad-qwertz.kl file (provided as ZIP here) to /system/usr/keylayout.

cp -f /sdcard/umts_milestone2-keypad-qwertz.kl /system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad-qwertz.kl

Same goes with the Torch.apk which should be copied to /system/app.

cp /sdcard/Torch.apk /system/app/Torch.apk

Afterwards, remount the /system directory as read-only again.

su
mount -o remount,ro /system

Set your keyboard layout to QWERTZ and reboot. The Torch should be available right after copying the APK to the correct directory.

[Milestone 2 General] milestones:
I am not able to use tethering, too. Seems that this needs some work.

Maybe, I'll try AziLink again. This tool helped me when I had to use Android 2.2.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Barnacle WiFi tether worked for me last time I checked for wifi tethering with CM9.
[Milestone 2 General] CesarRamina:
Now I'm just using the CW9. Battery consumption is high during use, but saves a lot when in standby. Unfortunately I could not do native tethering and had to use accessory program - Wireless Tether. Apparently all my software is running without problem.
[Milestone 2 General] milestones:
Got some problems with the battery being drained, too. Might switch back to Tezet's ROM therefore.
[Milestone 2 General] phoxy84:

Unfortunately I can´t use only CM9 version. Excessive use of battery and implementations have not yet installed. I came back to Tezet´s CM7 too. :(

How can I check whether I have the CH or GB kernel?

Sorry for the fairly n00bish question, but how can I check whether I have the CH or GB kernel?

Currently I am using the stock Milestone 2 ROM froyo and have never upgraded it.

Bought in the UK.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
> Currently I am using the stock Milestone 2 ROM froyo

You have answered by yourself. You don't have neither. You have Froyo kernel.

Solution?

no1. flash GB SBF (I do not recommend this, because after this, you can't go back to Froyo easily; there is downgrade... but... )

OR

no2. flash CM9 for CH GB kernel and then flash Milestone2-GB-kernel-update.zip via CWM (in the attachment)

P.S.: it is double zipped. Please unzip it once and the next zip is flashlable via CWM (I had to do this because of xda attachment restrictions)
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
I unwillingly had to give up my nexus s 4g for my current g2. Thought it would be crap compared to the ns4g. So far my performance at 1.5ghz has been better and I'm actually pretty content. Now to the good stuff..

What's up with ice cream sammich on this thing? I literally feel like I started reading a book halfway through and don't know where to go. Someone fill me in please as I got used to ics and miss it terribly lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] martx:
Did your phone come stock with Gingerbread? If so go Here to get back to Froyo, then Here I'm assuming the Gingerbread thread would have you put on CWM of course.

If your phone did not come with the Gingerbread update go Here then back to the 2nd link above.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Thanks dude! Yea I'm fully rooted running cm7 nightly but I'm flashing this right naoh!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
There's no official ICS for the G2/DZ, so right now there are some pre-alpha/alpha quality builds available in the dev forum. We may well never get an official ICS, but our sister phones, the Desire HD and Desire S will be, and there is enough commonality in chipsets to be pretty sure we'll get decent drivers out of those (to vastly improve the current early builds).

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Yep. Running andromedus now and its a bit choppy. Got a reboot or 2 but that may be cuz I'm at 1.8 ghz lol this things a workhorse at 1.8!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] RushAOZ:
Uh oh my back lit keyboard and buttons doesn't work anymore. Fix?
