I'm not sure what you are referring to. I don't see any rainbow effect.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] KiNG OMaR:
is the matte screen protector grainy? I remember getting some matte anti-fingerprint screen protectors for my G2 back in the day, and it made screen look hideous and grainy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
Ummm I think I know what you mean. You can kinda see it on a full white background. Nothing crazy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flippy125:
OK cool, thank you. The one I had made even darker colors grainy. I have one on the way now

How can be a launcher laggy? Our phones should run the launchers perfectly no? so how can that be that the lg ui launcher laggs?
[LG Optimus 2x] JasonBourne.Qc:
Launcher can be laggy if you put lot of Widgets on it... :eek:

Also, more Page = less smooth + less snappy ;)

There's a ton of launcher for android...just find the good one for you. :good:

But remember, ICS launcher may not work with Gingerbread Rom and vice-versa... :cool:

Next time, ask your QUESTION in the right section!!! :cowboy:

But if you use the messenger within the Facebook app is working with the new bubbles layout.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Dukko:
It's rolling out, sooner or later. The Verge said it's being released to select devices (ie my Nexus S isn't getting any love too) :D

EDIT: Just became avaible for my Nexus S, so maybe it's rolling out faster than we expected :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ajpettit:
Yeah it's weird as I understand it the limited availability only relates to the text function

Here's the apk in any case

Im from pakistan. They have blocked youtube here and probably google associated services as well
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Hey bro, Am from Bangladesh and i suppose google play and youtube are both banned in our country regarding the latest issue which is actually stupid. I cant browse through both of the sites either. Thing is, they have gone blocking up the sites coz both uses dynamic ips. Hope i managed to help u out. Theres an app that u can try..KProxy, u can download it from the net and follow the instructions to load those sites which r banned. Do let me know if its working :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Google search Aptoide :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
I am from Bangladesh and YouTube is banned here and some Google services.. It seems like I can access play store with my wifi connection but not with my cellular connection...

It seems like now ppl will start making proxy apps for android and play store....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yasharkhan:
Unfortunately aptoide isnt the same..and since I cant even sign in to my google account,i cant even receive facebook push notifications.. If anyone knows any other way to sign in to google in phone pls help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Have you ever been able to? On this or a previous phone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yasharkhan:
Yeah I have been using it for almost an year now first on x10 and now on xs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
So it can't be banned in your country?

What actually happens when you click it etc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yasharkhan:
It wasnt opening yesterday I did a factory reset and now im unable to even sign in to google account..it keeps on showing signing in and nothing else happens
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Well, desperate times calls for desperate measures ;)

Is your phone rooted? Be sure that u didnt uninstalled Package installer/Google Framework/Google Services. I did that once with Titanium Back Up and boy didnt i face some valuable headaches :eek: LOL. Anywayz, google is kinda working out new ways to access google play and youtube for countries like us. I got to login today after i dont know..20/30 times. But still pretty much no where with the youtube links.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
Now I can't login to my google account :@... With both connections WiFi and cellular... Seems like this can be problematic... Have to find a workaround...:-B
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Remove all accounts from your fone,

Clear cache and data in Google services framework, Google Play store and accounts manager, and force close, make sure your time and date is correct (tick network provided) as nothing Google will work with incorrect time and date. And turn off and back on again and try signing the phone in before the play store
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rko360:
I just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and i have all my contacts in google account, now i can't seem to access them or get my contacts. I live in Bangladesh. I know this problem is due to the 'Innocence of muslims' video on Youtube. The funny thing is i can access youtube from my phone ..but Apps like Gmail, Play Store are blocked ... that is stupid. Really inexperienced people are working in the internet gateway dept. I hope they come up with a better solution like blocking the specific video or something.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yasharkhan:
Its opening now but not downloading apps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Try browsing the playstore from your pc and guide it to install apps on your phone! u can do it if u sign in with the same id over google play store and ur pc :). I am doing the same for myself now. Cant download directly using play store from phone so doing it alternatively :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pulak861:
Muslim country blocked all except google search..... wait for the complication to be resolved..... i think its just..... mine is blocked too...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mosharraf29:
Hei same is here. I have been facing the same prob for the last couple of days. No gmail or play store access. I was worried that whether my device has got any prob on not. I reinstalled the OS but still nothing. Then i got the info above. So the issue is from the gov. i guess. What u say?

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

But to browse the apk file on the device need a file manager. That's not installed. So what to do now?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Didnt your device came with a installed file manager a.k.a Astro or so ;s ? If not, you can alwayz try File Manager, its 230Kb in size and can be found over google play :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No matter what I tried via kernel modules (mmcfix), I was not able to fix the issues with writing to certain sdcards under 2.6.29 kernel (of our 'vulnerable' recovery that we use to start OpenRecovery).

So I decided to give a try to 2ndboot from 2.6.29 to 2.6.32 kernel under recovery.

Here is a version of OpenRecovery 1.46 that runs under custom 2.6.32 kernel using 2ndboot:

Download: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OpenRecovery_2ndbootOR_v1_2.zip

Fixes:

- all issues with writing to some sdcards under recovery ("DMA transaction error with device 61" in dmesg)

- missing huge_file feature of ext4 filesystem under recovery

New features:

- battery charging under recovery

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

The start of OpenRecovery with 2ndboot takes a bit longer, so be patient.

You can see a phone reboot during the start of OR under certain conditions - it's intentional, just wait, the OR will start automatically afterwards.

Kernel source: https://github.com/nadlabak/kernel/tree/recovery

UPDATE 30.01.2013

- prevent watchdog reboot (by automatic reboot of recovery if it was not started via /cache/recovery/command)

- use 10% battd for better compatibility with 3rd party batteries

- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.2

UPDATE 03.11.2012

- kernel and 2ndboot files updated (2.6.32.60, L2 cache enabled etc.)

- patches by justcsdr from issue #773 included (power off, mass storage with complete access to all sdcard partitions etc.)

- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.1

UPDATE 26.09.2012 (2)

- fixed linker issues - IMPORTANT! please update from the previous version

- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.0

UPDATE 26.09.2012

- battery charging and status display added

UPDATE 23.09.2012

- workaround for occasionally non-working adb

- clean kernel build (no change in functionality)

UPDATE 21.09.2012:

- fixed backup of logo, bpsw, lbl and devtree partitions

- added 2ndboot splash screen
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Seems to be working for me. No issues :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Sorry for the dumb question, but what is the purpose of this OR?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Read the first post...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Oh god, i really should go to sleep..

By the way, i tried it, works fine, no issues so far. :good:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DJPatriX:
Kabaldan I have one question.

Is there possibility to run rom on this second kernel? Maybe this is the way to make kernel more complatible for rom :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Just a suggestion/question - can't you change version numbers so not to confuse new 1.46 with old 1.46?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
DJ,

As far as I understand, Rom already runs on this "second" kernel. This second kernel is the Motorola Froyo Kernel, recovery was using an older kernel to boot. Both are signed by motorola, so, it is not a custom kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
It actually is a custom kernel (2.6.32.59), not signed by Motorola (the last kernel released by Motorola for Milestone is 2.6.32.9 from early 2011).

Check 'cat /proc/version' and see when it was compiled :).

You could even use swap with this kernel, if it would make sense under recovery ;).

But you're right that it's not the main point - this OR release is about recovery to be run under 2.6.32 kernel to achieve reliability in sdcard operations, which was not possible under 2.6.29 kernel of our old recovery.

The problem with 2ndboot (or kexec) method to run custom kernel is that there is no known way to get the Wrigley 3G BP working afterwards (BP = Baseband Processor - the gsm/umts phone features).

This is fine under recovery as the phone functionality is not needed there.

But there's no known way to run a custom kernel on Milestone (or any other Wrigley 3G BP phone such as Defy(+), Milestone 2 etc.) while the device would still be able to function as a phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Thanks for the update. Seems to be working fine. Console, nandroid backup/delete (haven't tried restoring yet), scripts...

Btw., indeed very nice 2nd boot splash image ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] savezia:
Thank you

Thank you for this update, everything is working just fine!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:

UPDATE 23.09.2012

- added workaround for occasionally non-working adb

- clean kernel build (no change in functionality)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DJPatriX:
Thanks for the reply. I've seen some issues with radio an other roms who runs on "second kernel". Now everything is clear 4 me.

New version uploaded:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OpenRecovery_2ndbootOR_v1_0.zip

It contains important fix for a nasty bug introduced with the addition of battery charge support. Please update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
Great build, nadlabak. There are no lags while making a nandroid backup and charging battery in Recovery Mode is very useful. Is it also possible in the next version that the ext partition would be wiped out, if you do a data wipe? This feature is also enabled in cwm and you dont have to use scripts anymore to do this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rayleigh2010:
noob question.. it is said in the UPDATE 26.09.2012 (2) that I need to update from the previous version.. I haven't downloaded any of the files yet, will there be a problem if I use the latest one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
No. The previous version has a bug and thats why its recommended to update to the newer one. It only affects people who downloaded the previous version.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
to wipe ext just open console and type in:

rm -rf /sddata/*

in my MiniMod OR i have include a option to wipe ext partiton... and this weekend i will release a new version based on nadlabaks great 2nboot OR
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
I already know this but I just think, it would be nice, if the ext partition gets wiped automatically by wiping data. Of course, it is not something important but it just would be a bit more convenient because it is self-evident that you want your ext wiped out, too, if you wipe your data :)

btw it is funny to speak in English with you on XDA haha
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
I do not want my sd-ext wiped when I select "wipe data" option. Only data (configuration settings, etc.) should be wiped. Not my apps on sd-ext. There are other ways to delete those, if someone would want to do so. For me, it's a great feature to have the two separated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i love to speak english... cause my english so soooo bad :D :D

so better speak german on a-h.de ;)

sorry for OT
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Once again: Excellent Work..!!!! :laugh:

I just installed it and was speechless when I saw: 2ndboot - kernel restart..!

Hope this is the first step for a custom kernel with radio working..! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
It is. Kabaldan (nadlabak) and Skrilax_CZ are working hard on it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Finally Nandroid works on my 32GB card, no need to use a dedicated 1GB card. Great work, as always.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
@Kabaldan

I think I've found a "bug" in OR_2nd Boot (will post it later on the topic if nobody found an answer for me here): I'm using a third-party battery and a third-party USB Wire and my battery seems to NOT charge in OR (maybe disable 1% step battery not ported to OR?) (Status: Unknown and no LED).

It happened to me when I received both new and unofficial batteries, switch to 10% battery step made them charge and show the current pourcentage whereas with 1% step, it didn't work at all! So that's why I guess it's related to the "hack" for 1% step.

Thank you in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yes, 1% battery steps are not compatible with certain 3rd party batteries, that's why I made it optional in CM ROMs.

At this point, it's enabled in 2ndbootOR.

Please, replace the battd in OpenRecovery/sbin on your sdcard with the attached version and let me know if it fixed your issue, thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Thanks, it's working :) Would like to know if it's normal in OR under battery status to have: "70% raw / 0% fine (charging)" (0% fine ?).

If it's a stupid question, sorry but in France, it's time to sleep ^^

BTW, really big thanks for your amazing work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
raw ~ standard 10% value

fine ~ 1% value (always 0 when 1% steps are not enabled)

The current battery status is printed in brackets (Charging/Charged/Discharging/Unknown).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
Hi there, great work on the 2nd boot! I have a Unlocked Telus Milestone, but i'm unable to obtain a cell signal with CM7 until I flash the "Canada.zip" baseband. This used to be a menu option in the old Open Recovery. Can I just flash the Canada.zip as an update? Anyone with a Telus phone experience this like me? Thank you!

EDIT:

I just went ahead and put the Canada.zip file in the updates folder and flashed it with this new openrecovery. Cell signal/3g data works again. (P.S. I'm on the Bell network.) So when I flash CM7 the baseband is incorrect for me until I flash this Canada.zip.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
in cm7 menu there is a option to change baseband...

Devicesettings or simular (i use german langurage and there it calls Geräteeinstellungen), so no need to change the baseband via OpenRecovery anymore...

reflash cm7 and change via Android Settings, may it helps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
Hi thanks for the reply. I'm not seeing where to change the baseband in Cm7 settings. Where is it?

Edit: I'm an idiot. I don't know how I missed the device settings menu. Haha
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Pad19:
My Milestone (bootloader-90.78) restarting all the time when I enter this OR.

I am folowing this article: mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/#comment-22347

I cleared cache partition in original blue recovery, then opened OR and also cleared cache partition and dalvik-cache. After this I still getting restarts…
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shardex:
Same :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I guess that some executable or lib related to battery charging under OR still prefers to link something from /system rather than from the OR supplied binaries.

I'll look into it.

'adb logcat' of the OR crash could be very helpful, if anyone manages to catch it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
I know this is not the most appropriate thread but I have no way to running OpenRecovery due to a hardware problem.

The screen of my phone normally doesn't work normally, let me explain the issue (normal ROM boot):

When I power the Milestone on, CM7 boots normally, but the screen is simply glowing with white color.

There is one narrow band of 1pixel at the right of the screen where the background image is visible, but the rest of the pixels glow in white light.

After I lock the phone, and wait for a few minutes, I press the on/off button to wake it up, and still the screen glows with white color.

Pressing again to turn screen off, and again to wake it up displays the normal screen to unlock with all pixels visible!!

The steps mentioned before are the only way in which I can wake up my Milestone to be able to see the screen.

Therefore, the screen is not visible after reboot, after removing the battery and trying to switch it on, or when I try to enter into OpenRecovery.

Does anybody have any idea if something could be done?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Those experiencing reboots under 2ndbootOR v1.1, please test http://d-h.st/bFA (2ndbootOR v1.2) and let me know if it helps or not. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] climhz:
Just tested new OR, the reboot issue still happens. Here the logcat i get using alogcat, not sure if helpful or not
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The recovery and the usual android system are two separate entities. Therefore the logs taken from the android system can't tell anything about what's happening under recovery.

I'd like to see the kernel log when the reboot under 2ndbootOR v1.2 happens.

It could help if someone who's experiencing the reboots could issue

adb logcat -b kernel

on command line while booting to OR and post the output. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] climhz:
These are two logcat files i got:

logcat2 is output when i run adb logcat in OR

logcat3 is output when i run your method

Thanks in advanced
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
I think this was already mentioned, but I have also gotten reboots while in 2ndboot OR. It occurs when you boot and hold the x key, then select the update.exe thing, and then boot. The reboot occurs every time I try to perform an operation in nandroid (create backup with system, data, and sddata specifically). The reboot does not occur if I enter OR from rebooting into it within android. Hope that helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I've uploaded new version 1.2:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OpenRecovery_2ndbootOR_v1_2.zip

Changes:

- prevent watchdog reboot (by automatic reboot of recovery if it was not started via /cache/recovery/command)

- use 10% battd for better compatibility with 3rd party batteries

- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.2

If the OR was not started via /cache/recovery/command, it installs the command and reboots the recovery first, before executing 2ndboot.

So if you encounter a reboot while starting OR, it's intentional, just wait, the OR will start automatically afterwards.

Thanks to LuigiC6 for the information from the previous post.

My milestone still restarting, now after print " Launching Open Recovery ". Every time, tested on 2sd-cards.

No OR logo is showed. OR 1.1 was starting but I was getting random restarts. OR 1.2 I can't even get started on my milestone :(

How to take this log "adb logcat -b kernel" ?

adb doesn't detect device when I am at recovery.
