I try procedure that always work for me - wipe dalvik, wipe cache, update, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, reboot.

Yesterday I did it and there wasn't sms app. And after update to 6.3.7 with the same procedure sms app appear..

Today I try the same procedure. But with no effect

So i return to 6.3.7 and install update 6.3.8 with Your procedure - wipe dalvik, wipe cache and update and it Work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Double reboot should work. Android will automatically sanitise the data due to change in UIDs, so you may lose your settings and messages.

Alternatively, you can use one of many "fix permissions" scripts hanging on the net.

What is the effect of "Changed battery capacity to 1390 in power profile"'?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Milestone's battery is only 1390mAh. However, default battery profile is 1500. So, hopefully the change will result in more accurate results while reporting battery status.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AddiB:
Thank you for the quick answer. Then let's hope it works.

Milaq's theme not working :( ...

P.S. it would be cool if someone makes the newest changes on Luca's FroyoMod too, that ROM is awesome but discontinued too :/.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
CM6 for MM development continues thanks to availability of sources. The author of FroyoMod kept his sources closed and now he claims he has lost it - thus nobody is able to develop it further.

Hi! How much Free RAM at boot? How much further can we save by turning JIT off?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I didn't measure free RAM at boot. And it actually doesn't matter. System will free up RAM when it needs some. :)

Also, turning JIT off might save you some RAM, but it doesn't matter. Having JIT on will give you some performance benefits.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Is app2ext included in this rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Yes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Thanks mate :)

I can't update or uninstall apps in either play store or titanium backup. wipe everything and flash the rom again to no avail.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Did you have sd-ext? Have you changed your SD card? I can't think of any reason why updating/uninstalling apps wouldn't be possible. In fact I just wiped and installed everything from scratch about 2 days back and everything works as it should.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I tested the theme and you are right about it not working. However, I am not at all proficient in themes and have no idea how to fix this. If the theme developer offers help, then we have a chance.

You can use it to port ANY cm6 (probably any froyo rom and below) theme from ANY device easily since it uses your current theme as a "template" and updates it with graphics from another theme.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
It's been like this for days. Can't even delete apps from titanium backup. I'm not using sd-ext, dame card from two years ago.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I can't think of anything. Can you try installing some other ROM and see if the same problem exists there too?

im having massive battery drain, battery lasting for 10h without special usage,

what is the cause?

BTW the gallery tend to stuck and freeze the phone, there is a memory leak (after a day or 2 the phone has 20ram available (worse then GB)

but other then that it works pretty fine.

don't stop the development :]

thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
Those 2 symptoms together are connected.

Most of the time it's either a defective file or SD-card that holds the mediascanner "hostage" and the result is as you describe.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ForMartha:
mmm how can i check about a defective sd-card?

using ext-partition can cause this problem? maybe i should do a check-disk for the card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] l1f30wn3r:
thak's for continue the milaq's development.

This rom work's fine where..

I have a some quetions:

In ShadowMod i use a update blackbar (for notification bar looks like a GB bar), in cm6 have something like? what?? have a an how to?

For more performance someone have a tip?? if posible one howto?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Setings-> CM Settings -> User INterface -> Notification COlors -> Notification Bar (check Custom Notification Bar and select Bar Color as black)

Try locking home app to memory. I'll make that default in the next build.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] l1f30wn3r:
I don't know i can do a blackbar without a theme, nice this...

I used a adw launcher EX, i remove a adw (free) with a titanium backup, and a configure to keep in memory in launchers config, not in cm config!

Thaks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
i just think about flashing this to my good old milestone for giving it to a friend. Whould you install zeppelinrox supercharger script on top of this or is it already supercharged?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
I meant to ask this for some time now. This rom is quite good, fast, stable. However I noticed something, especially in games, "manage applications", caching icons, websites etc.

Compared to CM7 it often feels like there is some sort of swapping in the background. You know like when windows gets out of ram and starts to swap and everything gets choppy. This lasts for couple of seconds then everything gets back to normal. Now I know that swapping is impossible on Milestone due to the locked bootloader and the kernel lack of swap option, but I tough it might be something else? Like filesystem write method (cfq, noop etc) or maybe something else.

As example I did some testing. On freshly installed CM6 I only added the game "Where is my water?" and there was some choppiness from time to time, while on CM7 everything is smooth. Both roms ran the CPU at default 600 Mhz.

Anyone noticed something similar?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
It's due to differences in garbage collection (GC) in FroYo and GingerBread. GC is a process which reclaims memory by removing objects which are longer in use by a given app. In FroYo, when an application is short of memory, GC is triggered and runs for hundreds of milliseconds, so an app appears to freeze for about half a second. In GingerBread, GC occurs every few seconds and takes up few milliseconds, which is barely noticeable.

A short-sighted workaround in FroYo is increasing heap size, which allocates more memory to each application but reduces amount of memory available system-wide.

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
Ahh... so I am not going crazy, good to know :)

It all comes down to our memory size (or lack of it) after all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
Hi!

Does this ROM have more internal storage than the Stock? Because my Stock ROM despite Rooted and able to move some unmovable apps is still running out of internal space!

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I don't know what you mean by supercharged :) But if I lock home in memory, I get acceptable performance. If you are asking whether the supercharger script is installed already, then no.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
You can have a separate sd-ext partition on your sd card. Then CM uses that partition for your system memory (where apps are installed). So if you have a 2GB partition, then your internal memory is 2GB for all practical purposes. This guide has the details: www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
thanks. Can I install this ROM first and do the partitioning later?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vlad.obada:
Quick noob question: when I set the theme to Dark, all the notifications on the Notification area are black text in black-ish backgroud. Any way I can change the text color for the notifications?

Yes. Settings -> CM Settings -> User Interface -> Notification Colors

Great work, thank you. I`ll try it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nabuhonodozor:
I'd like to post feedback after 2 day's usage of 6.3.8.

I came from 7.2 and I must say I am very happy that I've downgraded rom. Present rom feel snappy and the most important - its stable. I don't have all those small annoyances of its newer brother. One of the thing I'd like to be improved is battery. I think 7.2 its more power efficient than 6.3.8..

Thank you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
Hi All!

Can somebody provide me the link to the safest Steps on How to install this ROM?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
For me the difference in battery life is a couple of hours anyway, but I'll try to see if there's something I can do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
IF you are already using some other ROM (other than Milaq's or mine):

1. Wipe Dalvik cache

2. Wipe Data

3. Apply Update

a. update-CM6...zip

b. gapps...zip

4. reboot

If you are already using either Milaq's or my ROM:

1. Wipe Dalvik cache

2. Wipe cache

3. Apply Update

a. update-CM6...zip

4. reboot

If you are coming from Moto stock firmware:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
Thanks vikasbn,

I forgot to say that my milestone just stock 2.2(official) and Rooted but never flashed custom ROMs. Which steps should I choose?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Use the third option, the doc on mrmuh.com
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beniceo:
hey all

thanks its gr8 rom i am back from CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1 (Android 2.3.7)

i only have one problem ( the arabic letter ) its from left right to right

so i cant read what written in Arabic any one can help me

cause this rom is more stable and faster than 7.2.0
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I can't read Arabic, so it would help if you described what exactly is the problem you are seeing. Is the problem in the keyboard? Do you see the problem when you view a webpage written in Arabic?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beniceo:
yes its in internet browser

cause in Arabic the letter is written from right to left

but what the problem is now the letter written from left to right so its cant be connected together
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
My understanding is that Arabic is similar to English handwriting ("cursive") where all the letters connect together, and Arabic is a right-to-left written language. I can imagine that if everything was in a reverse order, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to read.

Hi

Thanks for this rom and your work:)

For me its perfect one. Only 1 feature is missing for me: oc deamon via cyanogenmod settings. I know that i can download an app to oc, but integrated one is better because we can define min and max speed.

If you can add this in future you will be my hero;)

So far best rom for milestone: fast, stable and clean.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Thanks,I'll add these if possible :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Thank you so much for continuing development.

I'm having a problem. I just did a clean flash to 6.3.6, I noticed that no notification sounds work when the screen is off (but it still vibrates). Today I updated to your latest release (6.3.9) and the issue is persisting. Does anyone know what's causing this or what to do? I'm so happy with the speed improvements over Miui and cm7 that I am planning on sticking with this, but I can't if I can't get this sorted.

Update: Picked up a FC error on 6.3.9. When I go to settings> applications>running services I get a FC. I'm able to go to "manage applications" and then click on the"running" tab without getting the force close.

Any help regarding the silent notifications when screen is off?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Are you using an app that might perhaps be doing this? Something like tasker or llama?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Nope, not using any app like that. I have all the same apps that I used on cm7 - except not many are installed yet as I only moved to cm6.

Maybe a clean flash again - this time starting with 6.3.9? Wiping cache and dalvik doesn't help.

UPDATE: Found the culprit! And yes, it is an app. The app was "Blocker" or "Phone Call Blocker". It was not set to do anything for messages, only to block calls from private numbers. Disabled the service and tested notifications, and all was well.

Think the FC remains though - quickly went back to 6.3.6 for testing purposes, so not 100% sure yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Thanks for the FC report. I've fixed it and I'm uploading a new build with the fix.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Is there any way to implement the feature that you can type out a contacts name in the dialpad and it will pop up with contacts that match for a quick method to call a contact - "smart dialing" or something?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bethichvusua:
Could anyone port this function to Kabaldan's CM7, or teach me how to do it, please... :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
THe latest CM7 builds have a T9 dialer. Is that what you are referring to?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
AFAIK, it's already there in CM7. That's where I picked up the change from :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Hi vikasbn

Want to ask 1 question regarding physical keyboard :

Is it possible to add secondary hw keyboard character map like cm7 ( I mean like Arabic ) ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
@vikasbn:

Have you seen that?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/

Might be possible to backport.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
I think it is the T9 dialer. Don't want to bombard you with too many requests, but you are doing a good job!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
That's awesome feature. Google search is good substitute and works very well tho. I think that things like ring lockscreen from cm 7 or lockscreen weather widget from from cm 9 are very interesting and easier to implement than this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dexter_10:
some theme for this rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
You can use UOT kitchen ;)

I made a theme for me and you can get it from HERE If you want.

All credits go to the developers.

As usual BACKUP first

Hope u like it. ;)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Not sure at the moment. I'll take a look this weekend and see.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
I'm not very hopeful. The framework differences between CM6 and CM7 itself is so great that this might not happen at all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Actually, I did look at trying to port the newer lockscreens. But the framework difference is very huge. So this is on my nice-to-have list. But it requires a lot of time ...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
As they ( linaro ) describe their changes, it seems to be "only" to fix some code in the important memcpy and strcpy ( and some other lowlevel ) functions so that they can switch on full optimisation.

As this will get into cm9 we will see the exact changes in a few days.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Huh.I tried to set my old Milestone as a second phone and I flashed it to stock 2.2.1. Tried to flash vulnerable recovery for root(with RSDlite 5.6) and now I can`t get into recovery to apply update.zip. All links are dead in forums. I was on CM7 before but with to many problems so I wanna try this rom. Is there some working link for sbf(for Europe maybe) with already injected vulnerable? Or is it RSDlite wrong version(to new)?Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Except for the really latest changes to the tiwlan_drv.ko, other changes are already in the ROM. But thanks anyway :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Thanks.I had all files before but my hdd just died.Yeah,I should applied OR update first,but I flashed vulnerable recovery first.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nlabrad:
So. Is this rom stable?

I sold my old milestone to a friend for a few bucks because she had a dumbphone dying.

It had froyomod 2.9.3 when i gave it to her, now she tells me that it reboots frequently (up to 3 times a day) when she is doing something, like playing.

I remember using HONO cm7 based, and it was good, but the development stoped and i didnt use the phone for playing, so i had no problems with low ram.

Anyway, i want to put a very stable rom in it, no matter the lost functions or whatever.

Is this the most stable and ram-friendly rom?

I saw that it had development since i left, and the other roms died, so i thought it may be better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Kabaldan's CM7 RC2 is the best rom for milestone to date. Good battery life, solid performance, and rarely any issues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
Bear in mind that the RAM on this phone is pretty low. So gaming is really a stretch. If you're going to use CM7, do install CF3D and reduce texture.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vikasbn:
The wide profile in 6.3.9 is just for the camera, not the camcorder. The codecs are for video.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nabuhonodozor:
I've used many rooms for milestone but this specific one is the most stable one to date. It is more power hungry than 7.2 but still usable over a day. It has many drawback of 2.2 rom comparing to 2.3 but still, I think it will be the last rom in my Milestone till I switch it to new phone (finally! ) Everything is working as expected. camera is rocksolid etc, etc etc.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
If we exclude the stability criteria, which one feels faster vs 7.2? Im Not pertaining to Benchmarks but rather Smoothness in operation and Multitasking.

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nabuhonodozor:
I would say kabaldan 7.2 is second most stable and smooth rom. It's power efficient and in overall it's very smooth.. But.. I had a lot of hiccups and stability issues with this rom similar to all other 2.3.x roms. If you need rock solid rom with decent speed and battery life choose this rom. If you dare to have some stability issues but need the fastest and long running rom choose kabaldan 7.2 but be prepared for FC in most unconvinient moments like incoming calls or making family photo or starting gmaps.

Additionally its hard to define smoothness in this case as 7.2 run great in benchmark but IMHO its not smooth. It's like pc game with weak graphic card / cpu: game run smooth but every few moments it starts to crawl.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
To me, 6.3.9 isn't more stable than 7.2.0. I switched back to 6 moved by all these positive comments, and I didn't find anything special. It seems old (not any fault, it IS :)), power angry and not lighter. Since I have NO issues with 7.2, I had to switch back to 7.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sfahadzb:
same experience here... plus i never experienced any FC's.. yesterday i needed to restart the stone for testing some themes and decided to chk the uptime and to my surprise it was 9 days.. so IMO it is stable enough
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nabuhonodozor:
Sorry if I sounded like marketing manager but to me 7.2 had to many annoyances. It's definitely great rom but I had to switch to 6.3.9. What annoyed me the most in 7.2 was silent calls - quite known yet still not fully resolved issue. Secondly, camera fc's whan I'd like to make quickly a photo. These are just few I struggled with. Anyway I am happy you don't have them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
Both of the issues you mentioned have solutions available; The mute calls can be fixed by reverting the libaudio package to an older version (but you lose the ability to record calls) and the camera slowdowns are related to low RAM and occasional slow SD access speeds, which won't be a problem if you keep as much of your RAM clear as possible.

Yes, this is an aging device, and it's not doing so very gracefully, but that's what happens when Motorola decides not to be user-friendly. Unfortunately, as much as I love this phone, I would never consider purchasing another Motorola device after dealing with a locked bootloader and all the limitations that come along with it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Sorry to intrude here, but I have to correct the information given here:

The mute call issue has been already fixed 5 days ago by this patch - https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/527d999331af58437976e15936e6cf9136ca9782
