How to use the customized kernel with this rom?

I like this rom a lot.

Enviado de meu A953 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
No Customized kernel needed for it , the custom is for JellyBean CM10.

however I use a Customized kernel which gives me some unlockables , but it is not recommended for daily use.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
How's this rom...is it good for daily use ?...does it function smoothly like JB. ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Alot smoother and mostly recommended for daily use.

Try it yourself :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
Thes last version is great.

I recommend too.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
I can't chroot to Ubuntu filesystem anymore on this rom, it used to work fine on CM10... I always get a segmentation fault error...

I there anyway to fix this? Maybe implementing some UNIX stuff, bash or dynamically linked terminal packages?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Do you use the latest GB kernel?

Because it has the seg fault error, you can try to downgrade the kernel to 2.3.4

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
I'm using a Chinese Gingerbread Leaked 2.3.4 SBF, for a long time... and have used both CM9 and CM10
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
OK , flash my SBF and try again , for me it works on Custom Kernel but give it a try.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
I was on AOKP ( cool rom ) and flash on it.( full wipes )

Everything work good. After some app installations the rom was unstable.

I did wipe cache and dalvik and the rom return to working normal.

After two days on use the rom are very fast and stable.

Keep your work on this rom. It´s amazing!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
Data.img and .android_secure.img files are not found on the new v2 ...So cannot restore it
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
You have only " nandroid.md5 " and " system.img " to restore.

Both within folder " MS2G4HMv2 " .
[Milestone 2 Android Development] harisit2005:
I got stuck at the boot logo....now I'll try with the attached kernel...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
After install some app, the rom became laggy , slow. Was also occurring at previous version

I did wipe cache and dalvik and the rom returns the normality and very fast.

Any idea about it.

I am at the last V2 version 11-11 and the rom working great.( with the action above )

Thanks for the new one.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
The ROM's HOME app (Launcher) is known for being laggy when apps installed , I don't really explore why because I know that when the HOME is switched to a different one , the whole ROM becomes glitchy becuase is seeks for BlurHome.apk
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
Understood.

Thanks.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] metalaxi:
Just tried to update to the version from 7th of November. After completing the restore process, I get this message in log (in CWM):

Restoring system

data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.

android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure

Restore complete

What's the meaning of this? Phone booted fine and in settings -> Rom V2 is shown. So everything ok, right?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
of course , it doesn't need those files just the System.img , that's it !

Enjoy :)

It got alot better using different compiler.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] yuriebc:
After youtube last update, youtube have force close.

In experimental v2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Of course , I already mentioned that due to the new code , Installing YouTube HD manually is required.

I went on a new code that uses less RAM .

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
Hello!

Just as a matter of curiosity

which portions of the rom are compiled using the linaro optimizations?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hey , that's ok your'e interested , I optimized the rom with Linaro optimizations on

libm.so

libgomp.a

and of course all of OpenGL libs.

I do use linaro for my self on a custom new GB kernel , but that's not for daily use.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
I see

Thanks a lot for the info
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Everyone is invited to try the new Stable Version.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
DL speed is very slow for me

Could you maybe upload to another mirror please?

Or maybe you could set up your own googlecode page for this project....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Is it feasible for you to also upload the Rom in another server but Mediafire?

I'm getting some slown downs and cuts on this one, maybe others have too e.g. it would take, in theory, 2 hours to download this today (20Kb/s), and I have a 10Mbit connection...

Another thing, do you plan on releasing your custom kernel? It would be awesome to have something like that on this phone, even if not for daily use, at least some beta testing or help on the coding could be done.

Just suggestions, I'm not demanding that. =D

Keep on with the good work!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] carcinus:
And you do not want to build in the firmware program Morelocale?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
pretty weird that it doesn't download fast for you , maybe you don't use a download manager?

and as for the kernel , I don't recommend! this can severly brick your device .

It uses Ext4 partitions and CWM Rainbow which are completely unsupported by motorola.

Unlike CM10 --- This is hard mode kernel , and can be only applied by soldering the EEPROM module of bootloader directly to the BBX04 module

.

If you want to try that , I can help you :)

I use it for my self to get a higher potential on overclocking , my suggestion as for now is to use GB kernel that can make sure you'll never brick your phone.

:)

That's weird , where are you from?

I assume you don't use a Download manager such as IDM or something like it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
from the capital of Germany

i normally download from mediafire with high speed without the need of a download manager

besides

how does your implementation of kernelizer and supercharger work?

all the files inside /sys/module/lowmemorykiller are empty and the device is basically always hanging

if I delete your scripts in init.d everything goes to normal....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
kernelizer is in init.d and normal.sh < applied via boot >

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] algarues:
still I do not understand why the files in my lowmemorykiller directory become empty
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dangpzanco:
Well, when I gather (is it the right word?) some experience in electrical engineering next year on college I might try it out, thanks!

Did you figure it out all by yourself? And what's/where's that BBX04 module? I couldn't find any info about that... Maybe it's a dumb question, but whatever, I'm curious heheh.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Well , I hope people have the same board piece as I have.

This is too risky , I can't tell about somebody who did it on M2 , however there are lots of ppl with RAZR that did something simillar.

I myself , will never recommend nano soldering , it's too risky as said , and costs besides that <you need an Arduino board like this cutie : http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino_due_in_hand.jpg >.

I'm afraid of the day I'll upload a very detailed video guide on how to bypass EEPROM , and people will blow their PCBs away.

so actually if you badly want a customized kernel that isn't compiled for 2ndboot , and you want it "the real way" , you need to do the 2 following:

- Solder BBX04 mdl onboard <Bootloader> over the NAND Data <covered as a little plus>.

- Build a Customized GB Kernel - I did it , I'm still working on it ,Now when your phone hopefully will boot, you shut it down and ready to kick.

You plug your Arduino to your NAND chip and connect the Arduino to his software and run script :

erase target,[0x00]-[0x10] > clears the 16mb nand. , here you must not fail!!!!.

flash C:\....\zImage , target

chkflsh target=C:\..\zImage. < checking this is recommended so you know you have a PASS>

while the "target" here is your connected , bypassed NAND chip.

that's it , for checking it you can see the bootlogo is Yellow <I like it :) >.

flashing without the soldering will give an hard brick becuase the NAND will be vulnerable to the erase process , but will be protected by the bootloader , so you'll stay with an erased NAND that means TOTAL BRICKED device that will be used as a paper holder.

From now on , You swapped the Stock Recovery with CWM Rainbow.

If you want to do that , besides of the ROM , contact me privately.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sanxbr:
This new stable version stils gets laggy sometimes?

When it happens my memory goes to 25mb, have to restart everytime.

may be some conflict?

Should I use some app killer os something?

THanks and even with little problems its an awesome rom!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
That must be a conflict , the ROM is considered stable , though it needs to be fresh installed.

Also , use the attached kernel and flash it <sbf>, if you come from CM10 , wipe data again on the new ROM cwm <CWM ver 4>, as I said it uses a different method of mounting mmcblk.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sanxbr:
I did a fresh install, from stock GB. It seems a lot smoother now!

What about a "hold back to kill", is it possible to make it work with your rom?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Of course it exists but the minmemkiller bypasses it , you can use on 28.10 version where there's no supercharger script.

but I'll try integrating the CM hold to kill func.

Overclock

Hi,

Sorry, but i have been for hours now, trying to overclock my phone after installing this ROM, and can't find a way to do it.. Can someone please explain me how to do it?

Your work is always welcome.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Thanks , but I already mentioned why I work on this ROM , CM10 is nice but isn't fully "utillizes" the phone's HW , read it on the first po :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] taf:
Hi -Danik-

I'm very interetested to give a try at your ROM (looks very promising for my needs... I use my phone mostly at office).

My question is:

Actually I've Tetez CM10 running quite smootly on my MS2.

Wich is the right procedure to install your rom?

- a boostrap in recovery mode is it enough? (i don't think so, due to the different Android versions)

- do I need to downgrade, before installing your ROM?

- If yes, please, could you write a quick "how-to" step by step?

Many thanks in advnce for your help!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
You need it more for HW , that's for you :)

Flash the attached kernel using RSD Lite

and then flash it with CWM.

What about boostedAss v2. Does we need then on this rom?

That is my favorite rom.

Enviado de meu A953 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hi , Thanks :)

as it only some percents integrated CyanogenMod (to prevent data mismatch between CM and my rom) we have the:

Performance , userspace and the normal ondemand.

any attempts to try boostedass or smartass won't work and in this case - will not boot.

that is becuase of the ROM build itself , so that only CM .ko locator will recognize the governors <CM7\9\10 , and that's also the reason you will have to overclock only with MS2 Toolbox , the bootmenu will not overclock> however and as for benchmarks , ondemand will be good to go comparing to boostedV1 and V2.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ncc74656:
Thanks Danik, I have the same keyboard as on this image:

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

I tried boostedass v2 because phone was getting stuck very often and that resolved this problem. I noticed that with extended hw keyboard the phone turns off the screen and then in about 1 second turns it on again. I wonder if that behavior is specific only to my phone?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
About the HW keyboard , okay , pretty different on strokes but i'll check it (hope the keys have the same IDs).

P.S. the governors aren't fully supported just because of the delay, but in some cases (EU 2.3.4 ) it won't boot.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Yes, it is not only possible, but also quite simple. I did it just a while ago. You have to edit /system/usr/keylayout/*.kl files (of course with root priviledges). These are simple text files used for translation between hardware keys and some layer of system events. You have to find line beginning with "key 167" - it was at very end of "umts_milestone2-keypad" file. I changed it to "key 167 ALT_RIGHT WAKE".

The *.kl files are quite similar, but some are more generic (querty.kl) and some more specific (like the file I used).

I don't really know what are priorities of these files, so I just tried to delete and restore some of them and finally found out that everything started working when I stored the modified kl file in two copies under names of "qwerty.kl" and "sholes-keypad.kl".

I don't know if that was necessary, but just in case in /system/usr/keychars I left also modified "qwerty.kcm.bin" and "sholes-keypad.kcm.bin", but I don't really think I had to do that.

Now I am able to use some old MS1 times app, which uses right alt (now mic key) for entering Polish accented characters.

I hope it will help you. Regards!

[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
1. SMS DLR will be on working as soon as I succeed decompiling the sms service.

2. Yeah your'e right ! :) , rename apk ext to mp3 or use 3rd party BT sender. Im working on it , problem with downloading APK with odex built fixed like a month ago , and I hope it will be as easy as the apk to fix the BT send.

:fingers-crossed:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
New version.

Thanks.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hello Everybody ;)

New Version kicks it off with the newest , original bins from Motorola RAZR.

fully ported from ICS framework to work on GB.

I decompiled all the bins , and they work just nice, recompiled again in GB environment <SBFxT 2.3.7>

this will give a performance boost on 3D and 2D related programs.

moreover , it is a key for better boot related patches in the future! <like new schedulers or maybe new custom boot images>.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hey , thanks!

I wonder if you want to be a tester for my custom kernel , as you may read , my kernel required an external stuff like the Arduino to flash the NAND binary files which are Unlocked and Custom!

I've been working for monthes to get the custom kernel installed with a "tricky" SBF flash or even a CWM zip.

now I see , I got it to work like the 2.3.6 with custom stuff like : less power consumption - MUST for higher OC potential , that's actually the reason it is still built, and also zRAM compression..

Once I trick the flash procedure , there will be running the new RAMDISK <boot image> which will allow the kernel to switch the stock one with the new custom , WITHOUT using NAND writes on the chip.

It is still in work , but can be fast.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
Why not?!

I need your help about the more complicated procedures.

Let´s go.

Thanks for revitalizing th MS2Ginger.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Fine , I'll soon upload the fisrt GB custom kernel.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Everybody is invited to test the Stock+ kernel.

Kernel compiled in Linaro 4.6 and exploited SBF.

Try it out!

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Thanks. I'm going to try it out too. I'm starting flashing right now!

And by the way, is 06.12 any different from 20.11 version? Archives are of exactly same size, and files modification dates are the same...?

[edit]

Well, OK, flashed. Installed 20.11 + stock+ kernel. It boots quite quickly (the fastest boot I've seen in MS2?) and runs very smoothly. Somehow I've lost data connections, but restored quickly with 'DEFY Baseband Switcher'. My first hot impression is that this ROM/kernel is very very promising. But how can I tell exactly what kernel I am using? What is Stock+ kernel's number?

And also black-on-green android boot logo is much more stylish than red moto-circle. :)

(edit 2)

Solved multitouch problem. Had to replace kernel module 'multitouch.ko' found in /system/lib/modules with 'milestone2_more.ko' module that can be found in other thread (I just copied it over with the name multitouch.ko). Then had to modify /etc/init.d/90multitouch script to pass an adequate number to module instead of reading the value from some system properties - put MAX_TOUCH=4. And now finally I have a 4 points multitouch!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] carcinus:
Now you can install over 10?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
Dowloaded and flashed the Stock+.7z on the 06-12 MS2Ginger version.

At the present moment everything is ok!

Fast is the correct one.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Danik, one more question: how to set up the number of multitouch points detected? Is there an option for that somewhere, because I can't find it. I could do only some dirty hack with entering the number directly through init.d script (had also to replace multitouch.ko module with milestone2_more.ko, which is appropriate for MS2 phone, as I mentioned earlier in this thread).

EDIT:

Another solution. I had to put 'insmod /system/lib/modules/milestone2_more.ko touch_num=4' in /data/local/userinit.sh.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] alexyie:
Another question that i seems to always forget to ask

New kernel , more cool features!

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Installed. Starting testing.

[edit]

I don't see anything special in this kernel. It's just running, since yesterday without major issues.

But there's one thing I wanted to ask. I have troubles with v2 ROM. Sometimes applications freeze and have to be terminated manually. It happens very often in 'Granny Smith' game - usually in 15-20 s of gameplay. Also GTA III is affected. There are no similar issues under v1 ROM and that's why as for now I am stuck to it. I tried to change governor and cache size, installed different kernels, reinstalled ROM, but with no effect.

Has anyone else experienced similar lags/freezes with v2 ROM?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] morcego.surf:
Fantastic work on our rom. And the new kernel is something.

I'm using your rom with your kernel.

It's a good rom, but it consumes a lot of ram memory and when the memory is low, it shows a blackscreen.

The solution was using a task manager :p

Hey , are you using boostedAssv2? <use ondemand>

if not , try reverting to v1 or just wipe cache partition.

Does the custom kernel come with the infamous multi-touch bug which plagued everything except the final Chinese kernel?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
No , not at all.

I'm currently having issues to port more options from my hardware flashed kernel < I used Arduino , there are more boards that can do it>.

It still needs an exploit to access the BL location.

Yes , I Just have some issues on porting CFS and full I/O from my kernel .

I built it for HW flashing originally , Didn't think I would convert it to SBF..

Is there keyboard layout switching already available?

Or is it still just for QWERTY keyboards?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
QWERTY , however you can still use KO libs of AZERTY or any layout you would like.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Could you please give me the steps to get QWERTZ keyboard layout into your ROM?

I've tried to replace it before with same steps I've used on CM, but without any luck here - so I was doing something wrong or I forgot about something etc.

I will really appreciate the steps, since now I'm in the mood of chaning the ROM again (since my CM7 is starting to get slow ... again), so probably change of ROM is inevitable.

Thank you in advance.
