Updated to latest MS2Ginger 5 and it's really fast and without any problem so far.

I only miss the delivery reports in the SMS options - I've tried to replace the Mms.apk, but it did not help - it seems, that the SMS options are not inside the Mms.apk...

The other thing is lockscreen "disappear bug" when you connect charger when M2 is in "sleep mode" - but this is common for all Motorola ROMs.

So any help - how can I get delivery reports in SMS?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind. Solved by installing GoSMS Pro...

I really like this rom, very hard to chose between the stability of this one and the JB from Engel Mars.

I have a question tho, people with this rom, do you manage to last one day without recharging your phone with push notification (sync all the time) ON? Because I have the official extended battery and can't do it. I have to turn auto sync off to last a day.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
Depends (a bit) on what kernel you are running, are you using the modified Danik kernel or the default GB? He adjusted the rom to use lower voltages and deep sleep voltages.

Also depends if you are connected constantly via Wifi or 3g. For me I use 2g almost all the time and when at home I use Wifi. Also I used easy battery saver with an adjusted schedule so it's not syncing every minute of the day but rather every 20-30 minutes.

What kind of governor are u using and I/O scheduler? I run the boostedassv2 governor with noop I/Oscheduler for battery saving.

On a full battery the phone (with default battery(1yr. old)) lasts around 2-3 days.

Hope this helped

Cheers

Did anybody notice huge battery drain when 2G network is used? When I used google maps it was about 1% per minute. I tried downloading an app from play store and it was about 5% drop per 1MB. I didn't see anything like that on CM10.

Am stuck at Bootloader...I tried to flash the sbf...but at the end of flashing it shows rebooting the phone ..but the phone is still in boot loader mode..no reboot....any idea ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
Take the battery out, put it back in, turn on the phone.

If it doesn't boot, charge the battery.

Do you know how to change mic button on hw keyboard to CTRL?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I tried so many times, but unfortunately I believe it's impossible in GB ROM. You can edit *.kl files and assign mic key to CTRL_LEFT or CTRL_RIGHT, but the system won't understand it. It works in CM9, CM10, CM10.1, but not in GB.

My boot loader has been gone for days..and after hours of work, i restored it and flashed UK 2.3 ....(2.2.16) was not working.....Anyway after flashing touch screen is like ghost...it works automatically...sometimes its not responsive much...

any fix...?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello friends , Long time no see..

been busy with many HTC devices lately.

The froyo kernel supporting OTG is disastrous - it fried 3 devices' JK44 chip <electricity managing chip> after a slight ridiculous usage of 5~10 minutes.

They all have been restored and are working but the summary is clear : OTG shouldn't go along with OMAP3 devices.

Or in short : Software supports it <the kernel I made based on froyo> but Hardware = not at all.

messing with it for a long time - external voltage is correct , current is exact , but the chip won't hold it.

Disabling the JK44 and circuiting it will let the phone work with OTG but isn't practical at all :

- Not everyone would like to mess with desoldering just for an old , laggy froyo based device.

- Even if you do , current will flow inconstantly and'll blow people's batteries , SoCs and even the entire device.

Time spent wasn't for free , I did learn a lot about this awesome device , doing it was just for fun.. I can get it to work on my device without the chip but .. why..

let's keep it simple.

Attachment : fried chip on an external OMAP SoC.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Shubhamqweasd:
OTG works on old android 2.1 official for DEFY ( out of the box ) :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
Yeah, I also remember seeing a hack around for the OG Milestone that involved murdering a car charger and rebooting the phone to change the USB mode to host...

Also, in a completely unrelated matter, it would be nice to have access to your kernel's source code (you know, there is a thing called the GPL...) and it's been almost 4 months since you said you'd publish it, also it would be cool to know how you managed to crack the signature verification, since I'm sure that knowing it will help the rest of the MS/MS2/Bravo/Defy dev community.

Thanks.

does this rom support Apex launcher or any similar launchers ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Apex Launcher \ Nova Launcher \ Cyanogen Trbuchet are only supported on ICS and up < the launcher app will work only on android 4+>

but there are lots of launchers for GB , but I don't recommend changing the launcher though <causes lots of RAM Consumption along with the stock one>
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
i tried to restore my data partition out of a cmx nandroid via cwm. but this won't work. i think the reason is, that you can't restore a data partition from a higher android version. the other way round is no problem. i did this several times (a cm7 data partition in cmx or ics).

am i right, or is there a mistake? -> i don't want to restore every single app and data by titanium, cause thats so much work.....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
yes , It is CWM based version 4.

only 5 and up supports Tar.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
ok thanks, danik.

so why not flashing cwm5 out of your cwm4 and restoring the data partition.

after that return to cwm4, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot...

...is that possible?

a question: if I am going to update this rom from previous version, do I need to restore everything inside the nand backup or can only restore system (+ any other?)?

EDIT: 2nd question, is there no SMS delivery notification in this rom? can't find it in sms setting
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Sounds interesting. I guess, I will give it a try. English-only or multi-language?

I'm on CM10 at the moment and really love the looks, but it's slow sometimes. Going back now doesn't hurt too much, I hope :). Kernel is 2.6.32.9 Jellybean, so should I update it?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hi, you can install it without any problem.

Furthermore, your kernel is CM10's second boot kernel which means that it loads with the ROM.

(;
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Just some quick impressions:

- It's really a fast rom. Especially compared to the CM10 I've been using before (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827801). Even the Play Store runs smoother than before.

- It has multi-language, but some problems with German umlauts.

- I have some Chinese icons for shutdown, screenlock and something else.

- Battery life looking good. But had an issue the day before yesterday. I had 20 % left, suddenly it dropped to 10 %.

- Standby-mode overnight (about 9h) -> 1% loss :)

- The looks: Not sure about it, maybe going back to stock (can I go back then to custom, if I change my mind again?). Of course, it has the old GB lockscreen, but I like the ICS and JB lockscreen more. The font in the browser, WhatsApp or SMS looks quite narrow, a bit different from the stock font.

- Camera recording in 720p looking good :). Smooth, but not yet sure if absolutely without lags. Just recorded some trees, no moving objects. Will try this.

- Stock browser: If I type a word in the address bar at the top and press enter, usually Google would search for this word directly and I would get the search results. No chance here: I just get redirected to the Google startpage. To look up a word, I have to put it in the search field on Google.

One question: Should I change something in "Milestone 2 Baseband"? Current is Hong Kong.

That's it for now, looking forward to some further updates. Keep up the good work! :good:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
first of all no need to change baseband , it is universal baseband but anyways I equipped it with the BB switcher.

that's a no secret that CM10 looks greater but in terms of performance and stabillity - that's the ticket!

battery here should be Super economic due to changes i've made , also get a full charge , after you flash a new ROM , your batterystats.bin will be regenerated.

problem with searching google using the address bar is well known for getting fixed if flashing Gapps , but I don't recommend.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:

See one page back ;) The keyboard layout is corrupted in the last release.

You can install QWERTZ layout from my post one page back or you can copy another working layout from older release.

Hi!

I want to try this ROM, but when I try to restore my Apps through Titanium Backup, TB freezes.

Is there a good way to import your old data from CM 10 from Tezet?

Greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ssjoker:
you can't restore your data to lower android version.

better solution is CM10.2 Engle mars . install this
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lulli1:
you can restore to lower version, when the app itself supports the android version. but you have to restore only the app (not the app plus data)!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] carpet55:
I would, but on CM I have randomly Data-connection loss. Now I try GB, see, if there is Data-Connection loss.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ankru:
In this Rom all works fine except the Keyboard Layout. But there is a keymap zip, which fix it.

Gesendet von meinem A953 mit Tapatalk 2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] carpet55:
So until now no loss of Data-Connection!

Ok, it is not CM, but it is a very very nice and tuned GB! To be honest, I didn't like the Version 4, but the newest Version 5 is very good!

Those, who want to have an "original" ROM (GB is the latest official version for MS2) are here very good at!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] micheclb:
Hey guys after many tries I finally managed to install this Rom. It seems quick and stable but i'm having some issues...

- HW Keyboard layout (I have a qwerty keyboard)...about this I saw there is a fix zip but I've not tried it yet because of the other issue

- When I try to switch some "CyanogenMod settings", the process "com.cyanogenmod.cmparts" crashes.

I have to tell that I come from a czshop 10.2 Rom.I installed cwm, restored, wiped. When I found this issues I wiped again, restored again, re wiped (both from custom and stock recovery) but the "CyanogenMod settings" still crashes.

In addition to this, I don't know If i have the correct Kernel. I currently see on version info "2.6.32.9-g7d2667akxcr46@zin22lnxdroid30 #1".

Is this ok ? Or I have to flash another one from RSD Lite? I downloaded the "8.1 - New Kernel" posted in the "custom kernel" section but I didn't tried it yet (I never touched the kernel so I don't know well what to do about this !). I would like to try It also because I'm searching the longest battery life possible !

Thank you guys !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
And what keyboard layout do you need? I have QWERTY, and this ROM always worked well, as far as keyboard is concerned.

It doesn't contain CM Settings, since it's not a CM ROM. The option is some leftover from ROM skin I suppose. Some MS2Ginger skins don't contain that menu entry.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] micheclb:
I flashed the keymap.zip that someone posted few pages ago and now it works...before ALT + Q didn't type "1" but "*" ..however that's fixed

About the CM settings I don't know why but some settings works perfectly if modified (es. Audio settings) but others don't (es. interface or lockscreen ones)...however maybe it's just a leftover so no problem...

Is there a way of add 2g/3g shortcut to the "notification" menu (scrolling down the notification bar) to the existing shortcuts ??

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I have to correct myself...I didn't solved the keyboard problem...now it correctly type the numbers pressing ALT + Q (and so on) but now I have Z instead of Y... (in fact the zip was posted for QWERTZ user)... I'll try another one since the GingerRom stock layout still works different from my layout...

[Milestone 2 Android Development] micheclb:
Fedroid, I tried to install the zip you uploaded me but unluckily it says "Installation aborted"...I tried also to rename the file as "keymap" but still doesn't work (and I still have wrong QWERTY keyboard layout...letters are ok, but numbers and symbols are all messed up...)

How can I fix this ? :)

Thank you !

Plus...I have another Issue...is there a way to add a switch 2g/3g in the menu ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Fedroid:
The zip is not flashable, you have to uncompress it on sd and then erase all content under keychars and keylayout folders under system/usr and replace with the new ones.

If you want a toggle in the desk there are a lot of widgets on store, but if you want it under notification bar you need notification toggle from market.

See you.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] huzi7868:
Anyone have a working link for the latest version of this rom thanks V5
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Been using the ROM now these last days and I'm very satisfied with the speed. Yesterday I had once more a sudden drop in battery from about 20 to 10 %. It seems that this issue only occurs with less than about 20 % battery left. Second time now, I already reported that issue in one of my previous posts.

I flashed the stock animation package, no problems so far. What I'm really missing: Qwertz-keyboard. I know you wrote something about adding some keyboard features when you get your OTA-cable.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Someone asked for benchmark results. These are from AnTuTu and Quadrant Standard.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
wow you get really bad on quadrant maybe you used the app from the market use professional 2010 edition , it is more compatible with PowerVR chips.

Only THIS:

http://www.2shared.com/file/0BmJgbPr/comaurorasoftworksquadrantuipr.html

should give better results in CPU and 3D as well.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Yeah, I did. Thanks for the upload. Attached are the new results. Is this better? The results for 2D and 3D are worse, the other things seem to be better. Do I have to disable Wifi or other apps in the background for best results? Choose another kernel? I have 2.6.32.9-g7110803 wfa019@zbr05lnxdroid10 #1. I think that's the one that came with your ROM, right?

One other thing: Is there a built-in ad-blocker? I tried to run Music Library Free, but it says "Adblocker detected" and I can only run the app if I disable it. Adfree is not installed.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Yes , an Ad-Blocker is integrated inside hosts file for not letting apps download Advertising content , at all.

some apps force you to have the ads in order to use the app , don't use such an app.

:)

and it's ok you'll see 2D/3D lower , as long as it is above 1800 , with stock kernel <GB> , thats great for this spec of device.

I'm on MS2Ginger 4 < Heavily Modified ROM> v1 28/10, how do I update to v2, do I have to wipe data and cache or only cache?

If you wipe data, you format your system and lose all apps etc. I usually wipe cache and battery stats.

Great to see there's a new version out. Will try it today.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fedee13:
Yes I know, but as it is a new version with new code, I thought maybe we needed a fresh install...

Fresh Install is required but if can't be afforded , Wipe Data and Dalvik Cache.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] fedee13:
@Danik there's no boot img in the nandroid, is that ok?

[Milestone 2 Android Development] fedee13:
Ok, thank you! I don't know if you know how to do it, but after every update I lose my baseband. Do you know how to keep it? I know tezet did it in his ROM. :confused:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
thank you for telling me so!

I put a Universal Baseband , that's weird.

where do you live? and which operator ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Out of curiosity: Why is a fresh install needed? Is it because of the install process with a backup image and not a zip-file?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
no , it is due to the new code and improvements related to init.d and xbin libs.

but Dalvik and cache wipe should be enough.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fedee13:
With your universal baseband I can't get a signal, I live in Argentina, and my operator is Movistar. I don't think there is an universal baseband. Every region, every country works with a different frequency. :(
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Universal is build of lots of Basebands , it is meant to read your operator details from the SIM during the boot process and then boot the ROM with the needed baseband with the correct frequencies that's why it's weird .
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fedee13:
Oh! I didn't know that, my bad! :) I had to change back to my operator's baseband to get a signal :confused:
