yes. very good and helped me go to the details!

I wore:

1 = Blur etc. 2.2.2 Official: (!

2 = 2.3.6 Official Retail Root

"Http://www.ajudandroid.com.br/2012/01/atualize-qualquer-milestone-2-para.html"

3 = Flash ROM CM7 2.3.7 Tezet

"So far everything working fine!"

"Then I heard the Ms2Ginger very well, I decided to put it"

First Steps I followed!

"Thinking it was standard, did the following"

1 = MS2G4HMv2_01.01.7z "http://www.mediafire.com/?a2a3d3p3eq8tmb9"

2 = 452gbkern_ms2d.7z "http://www.mediafire.com/?bt49a8pr6u3wbvu"

3 = StockPlus_r3_HARDMOD.7z "http://www.mediafire.com/?ld9a1var5leuzot"

My only mistake was not researching these files, I tried to pass this rom via app 'rom toolbox pro' did not work, tried the cwm via update 'did not work'

today do not know how to apply is rom on my phone, someone could post a status pliz, I believe it is a kind of backup that back by 'cwm' via 'backup and restore' is that?

places the image in the folder '/ sdcard / clockworkmod / backup' and sends back the image "option is not tested because I did not know!

then my problem started after reboot cwm, then come up here today "rs

helped? some solution! am soon going to try to apply flash the rom 'tim 2.3.6 official' can continue?

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

in my RSD Lite 5.6 and the other versions!

the phone recognizes flash driver with this name: "S Flash OMAP3630"

is correct?...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:

coming home, I'll do the second flash ROM, VIVO!

after flash the rom any, need to pass this flash:

Stock + .7 z

?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ssjoker:
Thank you for this post, it helped me very good.

But one question : why did work 4 times of CPU in ms2? Didn't work in 5 time or above ? What is this limitations?:confused:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
Both are R01 (M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED), is you already had that then it should be ok.

After flash you will have to root with PreInstalameEsta to install CWM. After that you can install Stock+.7z, reboot, full wipe (just in case), try it, then flash HARDMOD, full wipe, try it again, then CWM, restore backup (do not use "install zip").

That is correct. However

1= that's the MS2GINGER ROM itself, that's a good first step

2= That's the latest stock kernel, you probably already have that and it shouldn't be necessary (I haven't try thou)

3= That's the hardmod FIX, you forgot to flash the 7.12 custom kernel before it (Sotck+.7z)

I would try flashing 7.12, then StockPlus_r3 again (although it might not be necessary, Danik would know better), and after that, full wipe. If it's not working I would start again by flashing whatever stock firmware you had.

4 Step CPU Sequencer <"VSEL"s> are limitation of Linux based kernel 2.6.32.9 , this one for Motorola is used on GB even though it is meant to be swapped with 2.6.35 kernel.

OMAP3 codes have also shown that the CPU is limited to 4 steps.

so that Motorola got easy job.

Hi :)

As long as your phone is stable boot into CWM and backup boot image for any case.

You said you booted CM7 , that means you could downgrade the kernel to Froyo <cm7 port for ms2 is only froyo kernel or a very old gb one>, so that my code worked just fine.

As for now , keep it with the current situation - it the best for you right now.

;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:
I'm using your rom: D MS2Ginger!

I'm just thinking of it at times fought each, and then back!

is this normal?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:
Good morning guys, I wonder how I can go to CM10, what steps should I follow!

I apply the rom directly?

because I did not go up and I had to reinstall the rom R1 VIVO Brazil!

with procedures which please?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
@gambiarraweb1 ... just-please-stop-spamming! Learn to EDIT god dammit!

.. you and your problems are just in every topic in many useless posts written in very bad english - which is very hard to understand..

Read forum rules!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ssjoker:
Thanks for your answer.

And new question : how to work (or create) with I/O scheduler "BFG or deadline " for MS2?

is this effective on speed loading , working or gaming?

Example this "SIO " scheduler
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:
sorry!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Guys, what VSELs are you using? Right now I've set 15/33/44/58 V on latest Stock+ kernel and the system's running fine, but I'm curious how low may I descend.

Oh, and just for information, right now I'm using CM10 with Danik's kernel.

(edit)

I've just changed VSEL1 in bootmenu to 10 and phone still is running (I'm using it to send this post). Do you know any utilities to test system stability on various VSELs (i.e. to lock CPU to use 1st frequency and voltage)?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hey.

If you want to test it download StabilityTest , lock with it with userspace governor.

:)

EDIT: Be aware - if you lock it on vsel1 <aka 300mhz> phone will be slow as heck, try to put the phone on Vibrate <really stressing vsel1> and screen off , then call the phone - if it is able to receive the call and won't reboot that's pretty fine.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RSDamasceno:
I'm using the rom CM7 (and I'm a little confused on which the order of the following) and wanted to test this rom + kernel.

Should I install kernel 2.3.6 Brazil stock first? Or simply restore the backup (as described in the first page)?

And: should I install only stockplus_r3_jan_8 or should I install also (or only) the hardmod?

Sorry for so many questions.

And thanks for the help.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hi :)

Flash Stock Kernel attached.

Restore the ROM.

OPTIONAL : use the custom kernel 8.1
[Milestone 2 Android Development] RSDamasceno:
It works, thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] axl63800:
i installed th custom kernel yesterday and it work .

but i have a problem i don't find how to configure cpu clock and vsel. when i change it in bootmenu it return to default values on reboot. !!

and what are your parameters please?

thanks
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Only MS2Toolbox works.

you choose parameters..push it as low as your own phone able.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I've read your posts, I'm sorry you bricked your phone. Right now you're asking what to do, so it's my chance to give you some advice:

No offence, sir, but in my humble opinion, instead of spending a lot of time on phones bricking, you should consider taking some English classes. That would make mutual communication much easier and more effective.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] gambiarraweb1:
ok, sorry, man, but I'm not good at English!

I use Google Translator!

= (
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
OF COURSE NOT!

the kernel attached is ----ONLY---- for EU GB kernel based ROMs!!!!!! , installing CM7 or MIUI GB will black screen on boot logo.

if you want CM7 you must flash the Downgrader Chinese flash <it has signs of Froyo > read about it.

Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

after that , install Froyo kernel because the zip of CM7 doesn't come with a kernel.

that's it.

If you want my ROM , then flash the stock kernel I gave you.

Enjoy :)

How can i do a overclock in my milestone 2, i don't find MS2Toolbox, plz help me.

Sorry for the english.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] xnopasaranx:
Horrible Slowdowns

Search for the ms2toolbox on google and you will find it in 3 seconds. Also: Do a search of the forums and you will find several tutorials on how to overclock.

Now on to my issue: Since I have installed this rom (came from German stock GB) the phone has slowed down to a crawl. It's completely useless now. I did a factory reset, wiped, flashed the rom, wiped several times and since then have rebooted numerous times to no avail. Please help me! I installed this rom because I need my phone to be fast and stable, which the stock firmware wasn't. I have run many custom roms for this phone before and wasn't really looking for anything fancy but stability and snappiness. It's my work phone, so I am not talking about playing games or crap like that. Simple things, like opening a new document in quickoffice or trying to get into the android settings menu are horribly sluggish and pretty much freeze the phone!!!

Any idea what could be the source of the problem? I am sure it's nothing I installed, I have poweramp and a couple of tiny apps like a stopwatch and to do list. They don't take a lot of cpu cycles an virtually no memory. Poweramp isn't running in the background, just installed it today anyway.

I have the seeder entropy generator running, it doesn't help at all with these slowdowns.

I was so excited to find a rom that is built to be stable... please help! I would love to be able to use this. I am now going to install your custom kernel and see if that helps.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
To be honest, you are not alone. The problem you describe is similar to mine.

Things I tried: I removed about 25 apps on system/app that were of no use to me, freeing about 120mb of ram. It was good for some time until I started installing some more RAM comsuming applications like gReader. I thought the problem was the apps I removed, so I did a full wipe and started over again. Having the custom kernel and a different launcher (MIUI Launcher), with seeder, all seemed fine for some time (almost too good). That's until I installed some more apps again. Thanks to MIUI Launcher which has a memory widget, I was able to pinpoint that everytime the free memory goes below 40mb, everything hangs. I even had to wait up to 2 minutes for my phone to recover after trying to open dolphin browser. Since two days ago, every time I want to open a memory consuming app, I just clear all running apps with the widget and running perfectly. But it doesn't last long when I open a second application.

As I said, having the latest custom kernel help, but basically because it frees up more memory by compression, giving me more time until the memory gets under 40mb limit. It seems as if applications were not freed after closing, something to do with memory manager.

I currently don't have seeder running, so I'll try again with it and see if it helps (although the rumors are that it only keeps your CPU governor from going into sleep, and the problem is really somewhere else and not "entropy generation").
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
To be honest guys ^ I had this problem too. With this ROM the phone freezed time by time and it did not react to anything for several seconds. It even stopped to vibrate when using touch buttons. This happened when starting usual apps like Google Music or SoundHound. It was driving me mad, so I've switched to stock GB ROM, which is faster than CM7 and than this ROM in fact.

CM7 is very fast from the beggining, but it is starting to be slower and slower as you use it - so after month or so it is slower than stock ROM.

This ROM is fast, but the freezes and slowdowns makes it unusable and the ROM is then slower to use than stock...

So after about year of testing ALL ROMs available for M2, I can say, that the best and FASTEST (and most stable) ROM is the stock GB ROM.

CM7 is right behind the stock in term of speed and the CM10 is slowest in my opinion, but it is best in term of functions (since it is newest :) )
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Odp: [KERNEL][ROM][MS2][16-01-2013]MS2Ginger 4 Stable v2 &lt; Heavily Modified ROM&gt;

Right. Finally someone agreed that this ROM's suffering from freezes! In my case it happened mostly in some particular games (what I described in earlier posts).

@Anonymous: with my previous phone (HTC Touch Pro) I found that latest stock ROM was the fastest and rock solid - you suggest there's similar situation with MS2

I'm using CM10 right now. It's definitely crispier than CM7, but not so much that it's not usable. If only I could assign/map CTRL key in any other ROM...

And you know, I'm a PC-born kiddie - I cannot live without CTRL-C CTRL-V, and that's why I'm stuck to CM10.

Does anyone know how to remap CTRL in MS2Ginger or stock GB or any ROM besides CM10?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] xnopasaranx:
UPDATE: I found out what was causing the freezes for me! This is probably not a problem for you guys. I restored a lot of my old data via the mybackup app and stupid enough also restored my contac data. did it before so I should have known better. Apparently the phone got caught in some sort of sync loop and kept trying to sync my contact data but fail. I reset my contacts and reimported them from a clean vcard backup I made before deleting all contacts on my google account and phone. Now I have all my data back and the phone is snappy and responsive for now. I will keep an eye on how it performs over the next days though.

Thanks for all the quick feedback. Hope we can shed some light on these slowdowns, I would love to have a decent and stable custom rom as I did not find the stock GB firmware to be reliable.

Cheers to Danik! Keep up the good work and don't drop this!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Ok...Slowdowns..

These come from the Droid 2 I/O calculator which I use in the ROM for more than 2 monthes <one of the first changes in the ROM> but is really effective

HOWEVER...It is resource intensive , you need to use the phone on 1.3Ghz and above . I mean , 10-12 apps installed and the device slows down with low speed <1.3ghz getting compensated while phone in deep sleep with ULV>.

My plans are to find a new I/O summarizer / calculator , or get the stock one.

As you may see according to benchmarks , the I/O is 34% more , compared to 1.3ghz device with stock I/O calculator , but when on stock core speed it really slows down , for the reasons people don't want to OC , I will try to get a new one.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
I 80% sure I had it on 1.45 GHZ on my previous install and had the same slowdowns, it was better with seeder but only for a day or two. I'm now on stock clock, was considering the better battery life a plus. I'll put it on 1.3 and let you know.

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] xnopasaranx:
ah ok! i am running at stock clock. i wanted to get into milestone 2 toolbox to oc but can't get it to open, phone just hangs. i will continue to try though. thanks for the explanation! i was just checking back in to report that it's still really slow... going to oc aswell now.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
After trying at 1.3ghz for a day, I can say it's getting freeze much less frequently, altough I don't know if that's a placebo effect. I do have seeder running which had definetly helped after overclocking. I'm wondering if the constant wake up of the phone be seeder is not interfeering with the I/O calculator somehow avoiding the freezes.

I would like to understand why the OC had incresed free memory... In any case I rarely see a freeze, but it's still freezing when memory reachs to less than 40mb free.

Thanks Daniel!

CM10 + Kernel 8.1

Hi Daniel,

I just wanted to say i managed to use your kernel of january 8th in combination with the 2nd-init version (13-10) of CM10 and so far all is well.

What I did is the following (coming from CM10):

1. Backed up system, data, etc. (priority 1)

2. Flashed the the UK SBF

3. Rooted it through SuperOneClick

4. Installed Bootstrapper

5. Went to recovery

5a. Installed Bootmenu+CWM 5.6.7 - Jordan, reboot (optional i guess depending on your CWM you use)

6. Installed CM10 (date 13-10)

7. Installed GAPPS for JB

8. Restored previously backed up data (only data ofcourse), wiped cache and dalvik

9. Flashed the 8.1 kernel and rebooted it.

10. Kranked down the voltages as stated in your kernel log.

11. Testing... Seems all is working well, not had an error. Only one time with one Wifi connection but that could be the router itself)

Voltages:

1. Clk 300/ Vsel 14

2. Clk 600/ Vsel 28

3. Clk 800/ Vsel 44

4. Clk1000/Vsel 48

So I hope I guess your kernel optimizations + ULV tweaks (Ultra low voltages?) are used in the 2nd-init version of CM10?

Hope to hear from you.

Seems the faster camera initialization also works. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hey.

Currently VSEL4 is real voltage which means no special tweaks or any new calculators , so that 1000/48 is a bit low , if it is stable for you , that's fine but if not .. increase it a little bit.

Any CM10 version which isn't supporting 2nd boot will work fine..

Although CM10 is nice it needs lots of investion to be set on Milestone 2.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Mine speeds/VSELs are: 300/16, 600/30, 800/40, 1000/48. I'm using CM10 and stock UK GB kernel right now. It seems to be working fine. I'm starting to doubt in Stock+'s miraculous features...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sampppa:
8.1 kernel looks to working with paranoidandroid too!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] xnopasaranx:
I yet have to flash the custom kernel. First I would like to know if this actually helps with the whole freeze issue. Otherwise this roms is no more an option for me and really needs a fix! These problems have to be mentioned in the first post!!! Otherwise people looking for a crashfree and stable rom will be surprised when they find out that their phone is freezing on them when they need to take important calls. Happened to me a couple of times now. Though I overclocked as suggested and the phone now does not freeze all the time, it's still not working reliably.

Cheers!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Working on revert to previous calc since not all the Milestone 2's are the same.

In this case only quarter of users got the benefit from the D2 calc.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
After trying for another two days:

I did have some problems receiving calls until I overclocked, applied seeder, and installed an app killer.

I overclocked to:

1. Clk 300/ Vsel 14

2. Clk 600/ Vsel 28

3. Clk 800/ Vsel 44

4. Clk1300/Vsel 65

Now the battery dies twice as fast as stock kernel and stock speeds, and freezes are still there, although I mostly eliminated them by killing all apps consistently after I wake up the phone to use it.

I have a spare battery that I rarely used before with a single battery lasting up to 24 hours. With this ROM and configured on higher clock as suggested (although is only 5 vsel higher than stock and heavily undervolted on 300 MHZ) I'm getting only 9 to 11 hours on each battery, I cannot get 24 hs.

My usage varies but it's mostly 1 hour of video during daily commute, 30 minutes of phone, about 40 minutes of news feeds and 20 minutes of browsing with dolphin. Never had a problem getting through the night before.

I'm backing all my apps, installing stock and checking on battery usage with the same configuration just to be sure. I'll try again with MS2Giner after that... Also I as someone else suggested, I had configured the low voltage before on stock kernel, so I'm also starting to doubt the use of the custom one or whether those values and this ones are really sticking...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Revert to stock kernel.

If that didn't help, go on with your own until I fully port old calc.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] scumie:
Thanks again! I'll try reverting and do some benchmarking, see how that goes and report back. Other than the slowdowns and battery, it's the best and fastest ROM so far. Keep it up!!!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Hey all.

Check out new I/O code.

Wipe data before installing.

the new code is stored in system but in order to run it saves to /data so in the first time , you have to factory reset.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] xnopasaranx:

I can use your custom kernel on cm10? :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] -Danik-:
Yes , Try the 8.1 version along with HARDMOD patch.

:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] chillje:
Thx for answering.

I have read your README in the "StockPlus_r3_HARDMOD.7z" and Im a little bit scared on your Warning.

I have to flash with rsdlite?

No "boot.img" Version for flashing with cwm?

my steps are:

1. flash StockPlus_r3_Jan_8.sbf with rsdlite

2. test

3. if i have problems flash StockPlus_r3_HARDMOD.sbf

4. hope..

right?

Im using CM10 from tezet

thx in advance
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sampppa:
Myself I flashed 8.1 kernel and at least that didn't bricked anything. Most likely I have BL=3, as I flashed that UK GB sbf?

About CM10, you need use 2nd init build that is 13.10.2012 one. Also paranoidandroid is 2nd init rom.

These undervolting values have worked for me, only once twitter caused reboot. Might I could go even lower?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I'm using:

1 - 300 - 16

2 - 600 - 30

3 - 1000 - 48

4 - 1350 - 66

And it is quite stable (no hangups). The lowest VSel1 I found was 14, so I added 15% just in case. Anything below 14 was unstable. I wanted to mention, that I'm using CM10 with stock GB kernel right now, and I'm posting this here because this is the last MS2 thread concerning overclocking/undervolting. It's sad MS2 is being vanished, disappears like dinosaurs. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Alchedin:
Here is is waht I used using CM10:

5. Went to recovery

btw, I used it for some time but now i'm back to the latest CM10, the custom kernel was nice and all but somehow there were something strange, my battery suddenly dropped really fast and charging took forever.

Also usb to PC wasn't working anymore

The Hardmod makes it not to work perfectly on CM10 , but people still use CM10..
