Keep it simple.

Just install droid bootstrap and then some of the cwm 5 for Milestone2 and then, go for the zip cm10 file.

Now your best chance is to rsd some 2.3.4 stock (don't do 2.3.6 believe), root, boostrap, cwm and cm10

many fc's after update to new version (27.10.). google calendar won't work and sync. processes around this app gets one fc after the other. cache and dalvic wipes won't help. Am I the only one with that kind of problems?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chapuzot66:
I have also the last update on my MS2 and so far I noticed following:

- The birthday calendar did not synchronized. I had to deselect and select it again on the PC. Afterwards it works again

- Trebuchet makes lot's of forced close. I installed apex launcher and so far It works great.

- Battery life is not great but not so awful as described by some here. After 3 hours with some surf and calls I have 75 % battery

I still use the standard ondemand governor. With the "new" one "interactive" I noticed that the battery life was worse.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] infiniteproject:
With apex launcher you experienced the laggy transition between portrait and landscape? I mean, 3-4s. I am now using trebuchet and it's ok.

i installed cm10 following the instructions from cm7 (new kernel, cm10, full wipe) and it worked perfectly, but after a restart the touchscreen is working horribly, i have to use the physical keyboard only! how can i fix that?

EDIT: when i open the keyboard, in landscape mode, touchscreen is working good. I have problems only in portrait mode.

You have to change the "MTP USB Device" driver for the "USB mass storage device" driver :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] cviniciusm:
Hello,

I can confirm USB mass storage is not working on Windows 8.

The drivers on OS were correctly installed.

On phone, USB mass storage option is selected.

On phone at menu->config->storage: none the options works, neither MTP, neither PTP or neither Mass Storage.

Motorola Phone Portal works but the File Manager doesn't works.

So, the phone SD card mass storage is not able to be mounted on the OS.

you have to go to the device manager in your win8 and change the "MTP USB Device" driver for the "USB mass storage device" driver, as fedee13 mentioned. You mustn´t do that at your ms2, but in Windows.... (right click and in the menue choose USB mass storage). In earlier release of cm10 this was already a problem...

From what I have noticed, it seems that interactive governor causes significantly more battery drain. I suggest to use Ondemand (or whatever else you find suitable for you). With ondemand governor I have pretty good battery performance.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MasterManson_Gunstorm:

Have you compared with ondemand on the same build? That's different from my observations, but of course we need more data before making any conclusions.

My experience about battery life:

on latest 2ndinit rom i was using smartass governor and was able to get more than 24h. Now i get around 18 to 20h(interactive) with

the 2012-11-03 2ndbuild rom and my usage or installed apps haven't changed on smartass governor my battery life is even worth.

In the picture i attached you can see that about every hour the phone is active for a short time. Is this caused by an app? I never

noticed this. Btw as you can see i used the phone only for about 1hour. In my opinion 50% in about 11h of doing nothing and 1h of surfing with opera is pretty bad.

I'm going to install the build from today and continue observing the battery usage.

Thanks for your great work!

Could you check if your phone goes to deep sleep in cpu spy? My phone is shown as awake the whole time.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] tezet:
My phone can last much longer when it is hardly used. Try to remove all apps, perhaps there's something that prevents phone going into deep sleep, or a different kind of battery drainer. Or simply your battery is bad? After 2 years of usage that's normal.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thank you!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] paalsteek:
Hi,

Did you try making a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik)? As the IMEI is a property of your SIM card this should help. You could also try removing your SIM, cleaning the metal surface and putting it back in place.

Greetings,

paalsteek
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RSDamasceno:
I've done that ... Also installed a stock rom, but in both cases did not return my signal (and my imei is still 0).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Good one! :D No, IMEI is really not a property of the SIM card.

IMEI is (should be) unique ID for device - not for sim card.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
What do you mean by "mental surface", how can i do that?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
He thought of metal surface of the SIM card (the contacts of the SIM card). If your problem is "zeroed" IMEI, this is not going to help you, since IMEI is stored on the phone and you can display it even without any SIM card inside...

Hi Tezet,

i was wondering if it would be possible to integrate PDroid (to be precise PDroid 2.0, since CollegeDev decided to make a PDroid-like app since the dev on the first one stopped a few months ago) into your ROM ?

It would be really nice to be able to manage permissions once again, without having to use an app running in the background like LBE (even more with LBE lite not working anymore, only the LBE Security beta, and even this one often causes FC or reboot, on top of battery drain).

(i will probably do it myself to test it "manually" on your Rom, but it would be far easier/better to have it integrated from start in the ROM from OTAupdater.pro :D).

The PDroid dev thread can be found here :

"Android 4.2 received the OTA treatment yesterday from the powers that be and today JBQ pushed the buttons for the source to hit the AOSP repos. We have begun the task of defining what is new, what has changed, and what CM features should stay (or go). We already anticipate removing the CM enhancements to the Clock app (Google made their own), and enhancing the Quick Settings (most likely not porting over the Notification Power Widgets). Other areas include our Profiles code, lockscreen weather and calendar events and the larger effects of the multi-user support. However, these assessments are preliminary, and we’ll learn more as the merge process continues.

Android 4.2 will become CyanogenMod 10.1 and we will provide an update on our Google+ when nightlies with the 4.2 code begin." :)
