Huh? Dying in only a few days? How long have you been here? This forum was very active a year ago and before. The activity has died here only because, you know, the Milestone is 3yo+ phone (it was released on November / 2009). Of course activity has died, you can't expect the developers to keep hanging on to the same phone forever! The devs have, in fact, supported the Milestone way past its EOL. The last barrier on the Milestone was having a custom kernel, and once that was achieved with 2ndBoot, there wasn't any more challenges left for the Milestone, specially due to its constrained resources. We have a stable CM7, and some cool experiments with CM9/10, and both extend the Milestone capabilities/usefulness/performance far beyond that of the old original stock firmwares. What else could you want?

So yeah, they've moved on. And yeah, I'm kind of sad about it too, but more in a nostalgic way: Right now I'm on my 3rd Android phone, but this one community is by far the best I've been on, and the developers, (nadlabak, Skrilaz_CZ, [mbm], xvilka, mvrek, and many many others) are by far the most talented and, to top it off, nicest developers I've came into contact with. But alas, nothing lasts forever, and it's time to let the Milestone fade away.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Yes, dying in few days. And I can repeat once again if you want : this forum died in few days. Why people always misunderstand what I'm saying? You said it, the forum was VERY active a year ago and even before (I was here too). Effectivly the Milestone is a 3+yo as the HTC HD2, which has still an active forum. I wasn't expecting any of Milestone devs to hang on this phone especially because now, we can say that compared to new smartphones, it's almost obsolete if you want to play/use heavy apps. It is still a good phone for all people who want a tactile phone with "basic" features (don't ask too much to your Milestone). I want nothing else than a lagless phone and I've found it in my HD2 then I don't ask for anything else. As you mentioned, the Milestone is far away from what we could expect from Motorola. And thanks to these guys, my Milestone was mine during 2 years (what an amazing life for nowadays' phone !)

Actually, I'm feeling like you : nostalgic. This was a respectfull (for newbies AND devs) forum (and I can say, because I've moved on HD2 forums which are... special). And this is where I learned to love Android community and custom ROMs.

Maybe we were expecting a kind of a goodbye from devs like 89luca89 did a year (and a half?) before Kabaldan and others quits. This is the only reason why I said the forum has died in few days : activity stop suddenly and we weren't well prepared for that ^^

But I repeat, I would never thank enough devs here for their work. This is truly amazing (for free on their free times. Just WOW.)

Please forgive me for my bad English and have a nice day.

Thanks for the heads-up. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
From the news conserning KitKat and from what I´ve read, with hard work and a bit of luck (and if Kabaldan decided he would stick a bit more with Milestone), I do believe Kitkat had the best base to work on for porting it to the Milestone. Since Google is talking about KitKat suporting devices with ram as low as 512MB, there is nothing that keeps me from thinking our 200s ram devices wouldn´t run it smoothly enought.

Heck!, Jelly Bean is running pretty good on my phone as we speak and has been my daily driver for more than half a year now, whithout major issues at all.

It would be nice to try it at least :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] deys:
I would love to see Kabaldan say YES......Please
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
More than Kabaldan saying yes or no to anything I and every other person writes here, I do believe it would be a chalenge for himself porting KitKat (if indeed its kernel offters such optimizations as Google sugests). Kabaldan IS a master in what concerns our Milestone´s internals and shure knows how to optimize recent android versions (as seen in the latest CM10-which is amazingly stable). Do consider that this versions are NOT offically supported by the CyanogenMod community. So, a guy did all the work. And look at the results... Amazing! KitKat would be possible, I almost bet. I also bet the idea also crossed Kabaldan´s mind already, since hearing the KitKat optimizations ;)

Pitty he is now more inclined to his new baby, the Photon (which, personally, I´m not that found of). For me good physical qwertys matching beautifull crafted phones died past Milestone 3/Droid 3.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Just fyi: Galaxy Nexus won't get official 4.4 because it's SoC was manufactured by Texas Instruments and they stopped making SoCs and drivers. But since 4.4 uses newer OpenGL these new drivers are required to make a stable version.

And Milestones also have TI SoCs...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ricfil:
Ok. Did not know that extra info. Pitty it is that way. It could be another chance to keep Milestone still relatively on par with the latest software. Nexus 5 it will be then. I´m considering buying a new phone, since the ram on the "old Stone" isn´t cutting it, despite the phone being awesome, a tank and never have given me any trouble. I will miss it. The build quality surpasses the Nexus hands down. The physical qwerty, despite not the best, is another thing I´m shure I´ll miss, at least at first. The A and S keys are almost poping out such is the use :D. The specs inside...not that much.

I guess it is really time to move on :)

Thanks for the info man :good:

2013-04-04 limits OC to 800MHz, to unlock it to 1GHz you need to replace /system/etc/2ndboot/kernel with the same file from 2013-03-01.

So I saw this method after trying to update my phone to 2.3, so I wanted to give this a try, and for some reason when I go to apply update from the SD card I get an error that the signature verification failed. Before doing the install, i do wipe data/factory, alone with the cache partition. Do I need to delete the baseband along with it or keep that?

This is what i am getting on screen

"

Data wipe complete.

Help needed to resuscitate this phone ...

Hi

I know this is an old thread, but recently I resuscitated this phone for sporadic use.

I had it Rooted many years ago and installed CM7.

Yesterday I was thinking to install CM10 and I had a problem connecting with SD card, so I have taken it out and connected with my [windows!] computer, just to transfer the CM, Gaps files.

IDIOTICALLY I let windows 'scan and fix' the micro SD - now I am sure it has written over ext partition therefore I cannot any more boot into recovery and get the triangle + [!] on it.

Any idea how to manually re-instate the ext partition?

I already tried ClokworkMod, but my phone is not listed.

Thank you

But Kabaldan found out, the limit is not 400 but 600MHz.

At the moment, the only "cure" is setting the CPU governor to Performance.

I noticed HUGE performance boost by swapping stock microsd with a 16gb class 4 sandisk one. Since apps, caches and swap are in sd, slow random access means slow context switching :(

mount -o remount,ro /system
chown 0:2000 /data/local/userinit.d/98swapon
chmod 750 /data/local/userinit.d/98swapon

Then it should stick until you wipe data (factory reset).

Copy it first then delete the first one...

Yes, zeppelinrox is correct. You can't move across devices.

Copy then delete.

@ zeppelinrox: why recursive?

I believe that would create the parent folder if it doesn't exist.

I was in a hurry and couldn't quite remember which parameter does it but I think that's the one lol

Perhaps new overclock values? kabaldan lowerd vSel values a bit. You can try the old /system/etc/init.d/10overclock maybe it will help, I'm not sure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yes, please change the vsel value for 1000MHz from 60 to 64 in /system/etc/init.d/10overclock and let me know if just this change alone helped.

Thanks Kabaldan, I did what you were tolding. I will give you feedbacks in few days (never experienced random reboots before and actually I've got 5 or 6 today and nothing for 4 hours).

BTW, I have such bad percentage estimation for battery. I tried Zeppelinrox trick but doesn't work (with your ROM or with 2ndBoot OR or with my unofficial battery (succeeded some months ago to calibrate unofficial one so I guess it's not its fault). DO you have any idea to calibrate under CM10?

EDIT: [Other trouble not linked to calibrating] I have just the 100% shown when charging without using my phone (not booted). The LED is turn on, the battery is charging but no information about the percentage of current charge. Little bit annoying but doesn't matter.
