2nd-init - like normal with init script to enter recovery , in addition , boots custom ramdisk.

2nd-boot - custom kernel loaded

that's typically it.

A little update to everyone :

my device got it self not booting at all ,after Arduino short circuited , hope to fix that soon and hope everyone sees it as I can't access my GTalk.

Dev Defy was fragged at mail , Boris <the special defy owner got full refund from Canada Air mail services , he had it covered with warranty.>

I still want dev defy , will have time for it as I fix the ms2.

If you need a tester for defy I'm available to test every thing (I have it in warranty). I'm not a developer.

My defy is a "+" with BL7.

Interesting. These benchmarks suggest all ROMs performances are similar, but when you try to use these ROMs, it's clearly visible, that CM10 is much slower both in 3D games, and system use. As we know, people are able to notice performance differences of 10-20%, and in my opinion CM10 is a lot slower than this in comparison to ie. stock GB. I wonder how much are the benchmarks presented worth...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ssjoker:
And What about this?

Stock Plus Kernel version 4

cpu Governor : performance

cpu frequencies : 1350 Mhz

gpu under-volt : Active "set min_lv_gpu 97280 /dev/block/stl1 "

Just a quick question

Does the rom still "hang" when using a home different from stock?

It was a problem in the older versions
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I believe it doesn't. At least it doesn't freeze with some games, as it did before v5.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chillje:
anyone tested the custom rom on engle_mars cm10.1 release?

and thx for your work danik, works like a charm :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello friends , A Short Update :

My ms2 is semi working , need working on a whole new partition schematic.

for Defy users : Maybe good news , maybe bad - Trying to dump the NAND from the broken defy, if it works , Defy users hopefully gets custom bl too.

Will Update more soon.

Daniel.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
yes, I did! Flashed it via RSD lite. Now I get the yellow kernel bootscreen, when I power on my device. But afterwards, when the system has finished booting, the kernel version in the settings area shows me the "2.6.32.9-Jellybean engle@engle-desktop #1 Fri Apr 26 20:14:46 CST 2013" Kernel -> same as before.

=> I`m on 2nd-boot bootmode. So I have expected exactly this result. The second custom kernel that is booted, is obviously engle_mars´s kernel.

=> When I switch to 2nd-init, the device won´t boot. Yellow kernel bootscreen is shown, and that´s it. Freezing...

So my question is: what boot script file do I have to edit? And in which way? Danik, can you help us, using your kernel with different roms? :D

Danik any progress report ? :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello Everyone!

since somewhere in April , when my MS2 got dead , I was pretty confused about how to progress..

I know everyone has lots of questions as my device was broken just where the business got hot and interesting.

One more thing , I invested on an electronics project the past 3-4 weeks . I had hard time completing it where my partner got some of our code unreadable - I had no free time to invest on development.

Hope I can soon advance more and maybe , without physically testing it , gain progress on the MS2.

I kept in secret a little advancement with Froyo kernel <yeah you guessed right , the OTG function> I can't actually go on with it without the device.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Nick14:
where do you live ? :) i can send you mine when it arrives :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Added new kernel , one of my testers said it's working fine!

Check it out :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
Danik, did you upload the gb stock kernel .sbf somewhere?

To use your kernel with 2nd-boot roms? How do I manage to change the zimage from your kernel into the 2nd-boot zimage? Or how do I change the 2nd-boot to 2nd-init with your kernel (only changing the bootmethode in the bootmenue won´t work).

Can the kernel be installed on stock GB?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello my friends and sorry the break.

Found a guy with MS2 for this week , hope to soon release the edition I'm holding on for more than a month.

Including new compiler , built from untouched new Vivo Stock.

I assume that due to lack in updates , people went over to AOSP roms <and some still use the V1 of ms2g4> , now you will have the opportunity to get it back.

Details Soon.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
Well I use your rom + kernel nowadays as a daily rather than ICS/JB roms. But i'm receiving an Goophone i9 soon, hope to be able to play a bit on that one. Still going to view the MS2 forums on a daily base still.:)

Must say, still loving your work and to be really honest I was waiting anxiously for your return :good: seeing excellent development getting better.

I noticed sometimes in rev.5 kernel the data disconnects itself completely, phone connection still good and after about a second or 2 the data connection restarts. Any idea? Anybody else noticed this also? Running versions in signature.

Cheers

The FM radio app can work in any way? :eek:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Not yet , The bootloader project is pretty in its diapers , I mean , there is no exploit yet to run the BL through in the defy / MS2 , only physically flash to NAND.

All attempts to just flash it will be impossible as there is no writing point using S/W flash.

Didn't mess with that too much , maybe on defy.

Fast Charge in MS2/Defy is useless , the battery capacity is already not "wow" <~1350mAh> , so I suggest nobody to wear out the phone / batt on fast charge.

I can apply faster charging to kernel by allowing 1 Amp to flow on TERM_USB_AC but that is useless.

-----

Some news:

Working on StockPlus kernel based on January 2011 Froyo to support OTG.

It works pretty nice with mass storage but it won't recognize a game controller , so still working on it.

3 monthes ago when I was working on it , I made it all ok and then my laptop gone mad so the project quite starts from the beginning.

It Didn't work because it needed 5 Volt external power so you'll need to use a Y-Cable <still working on it to support game controllers , unrelated to voltage it just won't recognize it>.

Hi guys and Daniel! I am trying to flash my girlfriend's A953 from CM7 to MS2Ginger5 - so sorry for many questions, please.

After I restored MS2Ginger5 in my CWM 5.0.3.4 I've got the black screen after yellow logo on boot. Then I flashed Chinese Downgrader sbf and MS2Ginger5 has booted. Could someone explain me briefly:

1. The menu option "About phone" says me that I have Android 2.3.6 and kernel version is 2.6.32.9-g5db7937 a17140@zch68lnxdroid63 #1. Right?

2. In Settings menu I can find the option "CyanogenMod settings". Why is it here?

3. What is BL=2,3,4?

4. Which kernel will give me the best performance and how I shoud flash / start it? After flashing Custom Kernel Rev.6 the phone does not want to run.

5. What I should flash first - kernel or firmware?

6. Can I change the kernels after flashing the ROM?

7. Can anyone please post step-by-step instructions on how to flash MS2Ginger5 after CM7?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] donk:
Sorry again, little updat.

I just returned to original UK SBF, rooted it, installed bootstrap and bootmenu. Can anyone pls help me to understand what I should do next to flash new MS2Ginger?

1. Which kernel I should flash?

2. What should I flash first (ROM or kernel)?

3. Should I do standard Nandroid Restore (system & data) or Advanced Restore for flashing Rom?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
It doesn't really matter what you flash first but I would always flash the kernel first. Also I would suggest kernel rev. 5 with MS2Ginger5 rom this works for me quite well.

About how you restore, the package you have only contains the system to restore so I would suggest using advance restore. Don't forget to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] donk:
Hi Alchedin. Many thanks for your reply.

I just flashed stuffed kernel rev. 5 as you suggest as well as restored MS2Ginger5 rom. Do I need to make some changes in bootloader to boot with new kernel? If I look into Settings > About Phone > Kernel, it says that I have 2.6.32.9-g7110803 (wfa019@zbr05lnxdroid10 #1). Is it stuffed rev.5 ? Is it OK that I have CyanogenMod settings option in my Settings menu?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
No changes needed in the bootloader. If you flashed the kernel using RSD lite and after restored the rom it should work without a problem. Kernel version is the same as mine.

The version I use is the 04/04 version, the 09-06 version has some keyboard mapping issue.

There is an Cyanogenmod in the settings, this is correct. Although some options in the Cyanogenmod settings force close the settings and returns you to the initial settings menu.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] donk:
Thanks again!

Regarding keyboard issue, have you tried solution proposed by athua http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42731685#post42731685?

Does it make sense to update the kernel to new rev.6 http://www.mediafire.com/?116s024d2k76mjx?

Sorry for the stupid question, but what does BL = 2, 3 or 4 means?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
No waiting till the next release by Daniel, this version I have now im using as daily atm, will get a GooPhone i9 soon, so then I can test more.

You can try but I don't know how well it performs, didn't try it

BL are bootloaders locked to certain region/providers in the world, e.g. BL=3 is for europe/uk, BL=4 is south america etc. (you can read more here)

Guess you have BL=3 also

But I guess Daniel is working something out regarding this, he's doing a great thing with the bootloaders :victory: as far as I know.

Seems Khernat used an different way to fix the keyboard issue temporarily, here can't post yet so here is his message:

Guess it's about the same as athua's fix
[Milestone 2 Android Development] donk:
Hi there!

I can confirm that Khernat's solution works for me with the latest MS2G5 (09.06) ROM and custom rev6 (16.05) kernel!

1. Copy with RootExplorer attached file (extracted from MS2G5 25.03 version ROM) into /system/usr/keylayout folder

2. Rename it to umts_jordan-keypad.kl (without .txt)

3. Change file rights to rw-r--r-- (not necessarily)

4. Reboot your phone

Hi guys, hello Mr.Daniel

Today I installed MIUI v3 2.10... on MS2ginger V1 then It wiped the custom kernel :confused: :eek: :confused:

And the phone never boot ( I fix my phone,it working fine ).

but now my question is how it edit my kernel ?? :mad:

please answer

thanks
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello Friends.

As for now I'm still working on MS2 <yeah without the actual device itself> on Froyo kernel and on some more phones.

If anyone is using the kernel with lower ramdisk ROMs < getting bricked by other ROMs < - press Z+Camera+Vol Down to enter Bootloader mode without checks and flash stock GB kernel or the complete GB Stock ROM <Attached on post> to completely finish the downgrade procedure as the StockPlus kernel is BL =4 .

For the AZERTY and other key layouts - you can swap them with any kl you want.

EDIT: The Bootloader hotkey above doesn't let you flash unsigned content <I wish> but just for not checking smg files before flashing for people with lower end machines so that they don't have to wait so long.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] leeman2000:
Hi Danik,

till now I tried the Roms by Tetzet, Megalith and Engle_Mars and finaly your Rom which I thought would possibly be a "backstep" coming from CM10.1 Jelly Bean - I must say I was completely wrong in my thinking, after a lot of tuning of the other Roms I came to the conclusion that the MS2 can't really get good performance under JellyBean or ICS. MS2Ginger5 runs fast stable and reliable, under Engle_Mars Rom sometimes I couldn't even pick up the phone when a call was coming in :P.

There's just one little problem some other users seem to have too, some of the Cyanogenmod Settings force close (Lockscreen and Userinterface/Benutzeroberflaeche) is there a possible fix for that ? I wiped everything and have installed your last Kernel.

THANKS MAN, my MS2 is back to a really usable configuration, speed, and overall performance and stability - I like ^^

I have a little problem with the memory..

After installing your rom via cwm, rebooting in cwm and wiping all my data I have flashed your new custom kernel and set the boot method to "2nd-init".

After all this steps my ms2 boots perfectly in your MS2Ginger5 but I have no free memory for the apps and settings. Every reboot gives me the google "welcome" screen. Installing a app gives me "not enough memory" and in "memory" in the settings it shows me "available memory -> 0,00 B".

Any ideas i have to change?

what about your warrenty? is there any time left? if yes, send it to the service. they will unbrick your device and send it back to you. many others here did so. it's not that easy to brick a device with a closed bootloader. but it seems, as you successfully did it....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
1) try different USB cable

2) try different USB port

3) try different computer

follow my steps:

- remove battery

- press and hold vol down button + camera button

- while still holding these buttons, insert you battery back

- connect USB cable

.. it should be recognized by RSDlite, if you have correct USB drivers installed.

(notice: don't panic, if your screen will stay black - this is normal in bootloader mode in case your firmware/software/android/whatever is pretty damaged)
