[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
You don't have anything to do before switching to CM10 (switching to CH GB kernel is either for people still on Froyo kernels (2.2), or people that REALLY want the same kernel than Tezet and that it's worth the hassle :p).

Just make a backup of your data/app data/sms/Call logs and such (either using CWM built in backup, Titanium Backp or My Backup Root, even if i would advise for the latest, it's free, easy of use and don't suffer from the bugs that have touched Titanium backup sometimes recently).

Then just follow the steps like to update MIUI/CM and so on :

get the zip

put it on sd

reboot in recovery

wipe cache/dalvik/battery stats (optionnal)

install zip

install gapps jb (from Tezet's op)

clear cache/dalvik

reboot in CM10

But honestly, to be really sure, i would do a full data/factory reset wipe, and reinstall apps after from market, to avoid apps incompatible with Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) that can mess your phone (i know as a fact the english version of LBE for exemple, make the phone crash/randomly lock and losing radio signal and so on with CM10).

It's a bit more of a hassle since you have to redo your settings, your app settings and so on, but it's a fresh start and avoid getting problems from old apps/roms/settings.

Your choice (i did a full wipe/factory reset coming from CM9 myself to avoid problems, but i don't have much saved on my phone i needed to backup/reinstall, i only did sms/call logs and some data, all apps i reinstalled using an AppBrain AppList, and redid system and apps settings manually, i don't have much, i know exactly what i want and how to do it, so it's fast, and since i don't store or use much on my phone outside of contacts/sms/call logs it's fast :)).
[Milestone 2 General] lacolle:
Hi Ashareth

Thanks, for all your advice.

I thinks also it's better to reinstall from googleplay
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Basically it's what i use AppBrain for.

It's a service/website interfaced with Google Play servers which allows a few things (on top of different apps recomandations, but i don't care about those) :

- the ability to make lists of apps, and have them saved on the site's servers (you can make as much lists as you want with as many different apps in it you wish)

- the ability to make "batch installs" of apps from those lists.

Basically when i do a full wipe, i set up my WiFi and APNs again, then install AppBrain, and use the "batch install list number xx" to reinstall automatically (nearly) all my apps (the ones that aren't on Google Play can't be reinstalled like that).

It makes it a bit faster. :D
[Milestone 2 General] lacolle:
I did it (CM10 installation) and all work well. Just battery report 1% but I suppose is due to reset battery stat
[Milestone 2 General] heirecka:
Does DroidSSHd work for anyone? It seems it doesn't save its initial configuration and you have to start again with the same result. Furthermore I wanted to grab some information why it's failing, but catlog doesn't work either.
[Milestone 2 General] fischer22:
@Ashareth and @rthisp

Thanks for your help! I really want to give this ROM a try! (I have to investigate first how to make a decent backup of apps and data... never used Titanium Backup and such)

The ones that have tried this, do you feel it´s faster or slower than CM7?
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
If your battery report 1% there is a good chance it's because you are still on a Froyo kernel, since it's the behaviour Tezet explained was with the recent version of CM10 without Froyo support on Froyo kernels.

You'll probably end up with more problems soon, so it's probable that you need to either :

- redo the cm10 install by following the process in Tezet's op of his CM10 thread (SPECIALLY the part to flash the CH GB kernel)

- restore your phone with RSD light to the 2.3.4 EU version (UK/FR, not important, i think it's the 4.1.22 release update from memory), to then root, droid2bootstrap and flash CM10 again.

This Rom ONLY works on GB(as in Gingerbread) kernels since the 18 or 19 August release and you'll end up with weird behaviour on Froyo kernels.

(sorry but i can't tell you what kernel versions are Froyo kernels or not, i don't know enough to identify them :/)

Edit 2 : After reflexion, the battery problem may not be linked to the Froyo kernel problem.

Just rewipe battery stats, remove battery, put it back and let it charge to check if it works well.

But if it starts acting up, with battery never going above 50%, dropping out ultra fast and such, it'll probably means you are on a Froyo kernel still and need the CH GB kernel flash/upgrade.

(just test it before, because i'm pretty sure flashing directly the CH GB kernel if you already have a EU GB one will screw things up, forcing you to go back to sbf restore of the phone before redoing the procedure for a fresh CM10 install :D).

Edit : didn't try CM7 but mostly :

- it'll be probably more reactive for two reasons, the first one being ICS is a bit more reactive than GB from the get go, the second one is because in the CM9/CM10 Rom, unlike in the CM7 Roms, there is support for Hardware Acceleration, thx to the main MS1 dev. This makes the Rom more "fluid" and reactive

- It use a bit much more Ram and is a little bit heavier on the battery consumption from what i've got (because CM7 was more optimized on that part i think).

But overall, jumping to CM9/10 is a good thing overall once you have relatively stable roms (like we do now), because the CM7 roms aren't much more stable (mostly the same problems plague them, for the same reasons, locked bootloader, lack of drivers and so on) and the CM9/10 went a long way with recent developement when most CM7 ROMs haven't even been sync with CM repositories since April or something, when there was at least one official release since.
[Milestone 2 General] HeavenlyAwe:
Hello I've followed the custom rom modding for Milestone 2 for almost 2 years now, but I've never dared to try it myself until now. But I can't for my life understand how to install this rom.

I've read the first post at least 50 times. But I couldn't get the downgrade to work (tried the out-greyed method: downloaded the downgrade_sbf and recompiled it without the CG31.smg). The phone's display did only flash the M-logo quickly before getting black. I think it's because I had/have the 4.1-22 update (stock), with too new bootloader. I then flashed the retail.uk.GB back on with RDS lite 5.6. (About phone tells the same things as before the first flash).

And I assume that usual upgrade procedure is same as in the CM7 upgrade? But I haven't got this far in my installation yet...

I sit with these stats on my phone:

System version

64.1.22.A953.Retail.en.GB

Model number

MotoA953

Android version

2.3.4

Baseband version

EPU93_U_00.60.00

Kernel version

2.6.32.9-g7d2667akxcr46@zin22lnxdroid30 #1

Build number

MLS2_U6_4.1-22

My question to you Ashareth is: Can you use the UK GB version on the latest update of the CM10 by Tezet. I thought you only could use the European versions on the older updates and the CH GB on the newest. But you're encouraging this guy to flash back the UK 4.1-22 onto his phone?? Does this mean I can flash the CM10 upgrade without problems on top of my current setup? After that just wipe data/factory reset + wipe Dalvik?

I'm sorry if I re-post some old questions, but it's really frustrating that I can't get it to work... And I think I've read the whole discussion on both the development part and the discussion part of the CM10 rom.
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Right now, the CM9 rom from sfc3001 works for EU GB kernel, CH GB kernel and (i think) Froyo kernels. The CM10 works for all the GB kernel (ie : EU GB/CH GB and the LatAm GB that is probably the same than the EU GB one).

It's for the CM7 roms (and older root exploits) that you needed the older european versions, now CM9/10 works perfectly fine on the latest EU GB kernel (it's android 2.3.4 OTA version from Motorola if you had a stock phone, ie not a carrier one).

If you have the latest EU Official sbf on your phone, you are safe/fine doing the normal installation like for all CM roms ie :

- get root (SuperOneClick works, zerg/D00MLord/whatever, there is a few topics talking about it, and from memory a few portal posts on that)

- install Droid2boostrap recovery (you can either get it by paying a few euros on Google play, or for free from the author's blog)

- boostrap your phone

- get the latest cm10 zip

- reboot in recovery

- install CM10

- wipe everything (for a first install, honestly do the same for a CM7 upgrade, it's safer)

-reboot phone and wait, it's a bit long but it should work.

But YES this CM10 version works on BOTH CH and EU GB kernels (ie : you can use it on pretty much every MS2 out there, to the exceptions of the ones still stuck in Froyo with no carrier update because you moved out of the country... in which case you need to flash to either the latest Chinese or European version of the sbf to get a working GB kernel for it).

Honestly, the CM9/CM10 install is far easier than the CM7 was since there is no need to downgrade anything (unless YOU want to to try the Chinese kernel for some reason), and after that it's a really straightforward (and quick) process. ;)
[Milestone 2 General] TomaszD84:
Well, I've tried the today's version after backing everything up and the system is still not there quality-wise. Google Play couldn't hand over downloads to wifi, I think there's some sort of issue there, HSPA downloads were very slow. I went back to the comfortable, refined world of CM9 for now.
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Check this how-to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1758271

Just one tip: you're on retail UK, it means the rooting method is not the same as for LATAM GB, skip the rooting step of my guide, root your phone with this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and you're good to go!

HI Ashareth

I'm facing issue.

my phone refuse any usb charging.

seems charging through usb cable connected to Freebox :) (power led next cable is on with freebox, off with usb charging)

I'm waiting the night to check if freebox charging phone.

I try to recalibrate batterie, but I cannot erase batteriestat file (I'm stuck on recovery)

Do you think I need to restore phone (RSD...) ?

my understanding miui use GB kernel

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I don't know how, but during I'm writting previous message, phone power on and update android then go back off
[Milestone 2 General] HeavenlyAwe:
I did already follow Ashareth's instructions and got it to work... I'm extremely pleased this far! =D My phone actually responds to my finger now! Haven't had any problems yet either! I did also get all my apps back via Google Drive's backup utility, they started to update as soon as I finished the google account setup.

Just out of curiosity, why is bootmenu1.1.0 used in your guide? I used the recovery menu on ClockworkMod (which came with the droid2bootstrap).
[Milestone 2 General] lacolle:
Good news, after flashing CH kernel (tezet version), charging work well, and I can restart phone.

Previously, I used kernel included in MIUI rom, I thinked it was GB kernel, but maybe it was a Froyo kernel.

Now question is what is the difference between CH and EU kernel ?

I use CH kernel in France, and it seems work correctly
[Milestone 2 General] fischer22:
As far as I know, CM7 does have Hardware Acceleration, at least I can play a lot of videos with hardware acceleration. Not sure if it works also for the system and user interface graphics, but I think it does.

CM9 didn´t have Hardware acceleration (at least until a few months ago)... I hope HWA works nicely in CM10, I consider it a requisite to change ROMS.
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Not possible.

The HW acceleration for the MS2 is only available since early July (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/locked-motorola-devices-get-full-hardware-acceleration/), and NONE of the CM7 roms in this forum are posterior to late December.

What you have is Video high def decoding, not hardware acceleration.

Right now, afaik, there is TWO roms with Hardware Acceleration, sfc3001's CM9 and Tezet's CM10, period.

The same way none of the Motorola phones with locked bootloaders have the specific graphical accelerations for games and so on, because the set of instructions needed hasn't been ported yet (if i remember well the discussion about it i had with someone understanding far more about it than i do :).
[Milestone 2 General] ryder_r:
In order to install Cyano 10 from stock rom what kernel I have to install? will i have italian language with this rom? thanks ;)
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
It's explained on the first pots of the CM10 release thread :

- if you have a Froyo (android 2.2.x) kernel, you need to use the kernel zip in that post to flash the Chinese GB kernel

- if you had updated your phone to the latest Motorola rom (ie : Android 2.3.4) you have nothing to do because you use the EU GB kernel already, which works fine with CM10 (the CH and EU GB kernels are quite close)
[Milestone 2 General] ryder_r:
Thank you very much :laugh:
[Milestone 2 General] eniomarcos:
Thank Tezet!

I made a donation because this rom surprised and delighted me.

What a fantastic job!

Using V6 and supercharge KAK! It gave new life to the phone!

Multi-tasking is 100% heavy use proof!
[Milestone 2 General] CngZ:
Hello, wahou, I did'nt see this topic before due to I read only updates from the dev topic ... and can't reply to them.

@Ashareth you says in dev thread :

I have no matter with mine in French locales + Azerty with both shift and alt lock.

The two issue I can notice are : the ~ is not working and I get $ instead of €.

----

Will look after when I would have time if there any fix but I can report that I have the issue for the gallery (not showing settings and old pictures and movies), the wifi / 3G.

For the ringtones I lost the choice in last days, but I can see now that they come back... maybe try to wipe cache & dalvik cache. (remember : the ota updater don't do the wipe cache)

[Milestone 2 General] mr.khanhdz:
Somebody can run fruit ninja Hd 1.5.4 ??. It auto exit after 1min :(. I had the last CM10 rom ( 04/09)
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Why are you trying to run the HD version? Try the normal one, for me, the HD games are too big for my screen resolution... I think the HD games are designed for tablets or bigger screen phones, not our MS2
[Milestone 2 General] mr.khanhdz:
It run normally and smoothly until I update the CM10 rom (01/09). Maybe i will try to wipe data and cache again :(
[Milestone 2 General] i906:
Hello.

I am having trouble copying files out from the sdcard. In windows the error given was "I/O device error".

The white charging led (near the micro-usb port), blinks (somewhat similar to hdd light on PCs) whenever I try to copy a file.

I noticed the problem after using SuperCharger, JellyScreamPatcher, which failed to complete.

Either way, the CM10 is amazing.

I am using tezet's CM10 2012-09-04_18_43. Thanks.
[Milestone 2 General] Lean946:
Maybe the usb port or the cable is broken somehow.

Try the cable in another phone, and another cable on the MS2 to spot the issue.

Good Luck :good:
[Milestone 2 General] ryder_r:
how may i create folders or move app in menu?? thanks

Video recording sound problem

I just installed the new Tezet CM10 ROM (08.09.2012). It looks great so far but video recording stills have some problem

about battery drainage

from CM7 CM9 to now, i flashed CM10

i did wipe battery stat in recovery.

but the battery percentage shown is always a problem. from 100% to 60% then it will skip all 5x%, change to 49% suddenly, and skip all 1x% too.

can anyone help? i did calibration too but no help.

How can i install the google playstore?
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Like every other google app that aren't on market and as is explained in the CM7/9/10 op's : you flash the gapps zip that in linked in said post ?
[Milestone 2 General] reactive1990:
yea, i forgot to flash the gapps.zip...

and now i cant enter the "Droid2 Bootstrap menue" to install the gapp :P is there anyway to get in the Droid2 Bootstrap menue again?
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Just reboot into recovery... droid2bootstrap is ment to use only on stock firmwares, all custom roms have recovery built-in
[Milestone 2 General] reactive1990:
reboot

how can i reboot into the recovery ?
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
When powering down, you have a menu option to enter recovery, instead of reboot.

Or power on and look the frontal led. When it turns blue, press side VOL down.
[Milestone 2 General] reactive1990:
thank u very much :)

i have also another problem.. my wlan will not connect.. he wont get the ip :/
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Mine works fine for wpa-2 psk, with fixed IP and also with DHCP, but I was forced to disable an option to avoid connections when wifi signal is too low (can't remember where it is). My guess is that for the same wifi signal, cm10 can be reading its strength as a weaker one, then that option may be forcing disconnections when they aren't needed.

I'm using cm10 over ch gb kernel, right as described by Tezet. Hope it helps.
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
The feature you're mentioning is found on advanced wifi settings (one must enter wifi config, then press contextual menu with capacitive button, then advanced)
[Milestone 2 General] reactive1990:
mhh I´m using also cm10 over ch gb, but I still got the problem that my milestone dont get a ip-adress, when i try to connect to my router.

Someone have other ideas? :P
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Some old cm10 versions haven't support for wifi channels 13 & 14...

edit: OTA updater had some bugs clearing cache, so after each update I go to recovery to clear cache & dalvik.

Heating and draining battery

Hi, I'm using the CM10 on my Milestone 2, it's very better than cm9, but my phone, sometimes, is getting too hot and the battery is draining so fast (about 6h). What can it be? This thing too be happening with you?

Video Recording Audio working only a few seconds

I already installed the tezet version of CM10 CM10-20120910-NIGHTLY-milestone2.

My problem:

After a few seconds (12 to 20 s) the video recording while stills working do not record any sound. I noticed it with the standard app and lgcamera (supposed to work better).

The video performance was supposed to be fixed according to the changelog.

Is it specific to my device or some of you have the same problem ?

PS. I posted it there because I do not have the possibility to post it directly into the development thread
[Milestone 2 General] goo20:
Note: adding some comments at the end, I've managed to solve the problem...

Dear all,

I just flashed my Moto Milestone 2 with the CyanogenMod 10.

So far everything seems to be running just fine.

It was a bit hectic at first, because the phone was stuck on the Cyanogen logo. A factory reset did the trick.

Now, I'm off course missing the Google Apps...

I tried to install the apps through the recovery menu. But it fails miserably saying the signature is invalid. I cannot get back to the fancy recovery mode offered by Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap, which I think is normal since that app is not designed to work with CyanogenMod (correct me if I'm wrong).

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

PS:

My system was running a stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 from my provider (Swisscom, in Switzerland).

Now I have kernel version 2.6.32.9-g7d2667a

EDIT:

Well I finally managed to get through it, and this is how I did:

First, push the power button, tap on hold the "reboot option", choose failsafe mode (nothing else is shown)

After the reboot, do the same procedure, you'll notice that the reboot menu offers many more options, among which "recovery" --> this is the one you need

Not sure why all the options of the reboot menu were not showing at first, might be a small bug, or a feature ! Now I have access to the Play store, which is just fine !

THANKS A LOT FOR THE GOOD WORK !

SIM Toolkit not working

After one of the latest upgrades of the Tezet's CM10 ROM, the SIM Toolkit stopped working. I can start the application and see the initial menu but when clicking on any of the items nothing happens. Nor the encrypted SMS from the GSM Banking are not received. It used to work fine with the previous CM10 releases.

Anyone else encountered such a problem? Any suggestions please?

Thanks!

I've noticed it happens on my phone as well, but since previous versions, sadly I don't have any suggestions :(

hi , i am new and noob:D

i have a few questions:

1) installing cm10 will really get my phon to anbdroid 4.1.1, or will just look like it ?

2) are there any bugs/errors on cm10 ? ( i read a few pages and found noone complaining.

3) should i get miui or cm ?

thanks
[Milestone 2 General] goo20:
1. Yes it will.

2. Yes there are, but so far just like you I searched around the forum and none of the reports I have seen talked about "blocking" issues, so I decided to go ahead.

3. Is your MIUI supported on your phone ? To me CM is much more mature (=less bugs).
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
When gps is not in use, I allways record while driving. 30 minutes of video every day. Mine saves 11 minutes with sound, using lgcamera and cm10 (10.09.2012), then mutes to the end of the recording. Previous was 18 minutes with sound. Check if you did the wipes by hand (cache and dalvik) after OTA update and try to record with charger connected (and configured to don't sleep while charging).
[Milestone 2 General] knickoptik:
-> 2) I'm using it for quite some time now (about 2 months) and didn't encounter anything that stopped me using it....

-> 3) i tried miui a couple of times but didn't find it as mature as CM10, so i always went back to cm...
[Milestone 2 General] Jimura:
in order to get my milestone running at its best, what should i install, rom cm10, and waht alse ? kernel firmware ?

and algo one more question, ove read many people having trouble with battery life with cm10, does it consume more than other versions ?

ty in advance
[Milestone 2 General] goo20:
I've been using CM10 for only two days, but as far as I can tell battery life is about the same - I don't see any change.

Hope this helps.
[Milestone 2 General] chapuzot66:
First thanks a lot for your answer.

Anyway with Lg Camera default settings and gps deactivated I still have no more sound after 20s. I made after some experiment and change audia sampling rate and no stereo and it seems to work longer.

What are your lg cameras settings ?. It would be nice if you could send it.
