HI, czechop, my pleasure to see you. Could you please to port a CM10 and a CM10.1 based on the new kernel from Quarx? therefore, I can port many new roms such as MIUI V5 based on 4.2.2, deepin OS, Mokee Open Source, Codename, Slim from defy for milestone2. You know, after Quarx update the new kernel, we can not use wifi, usb for CM10 based rom and we cannot use everything except touchscreen for CM10.1based rom. So now you can update the new kernel. I really hope you can help me to build one CM10 and CM10.1 based on the Areokernel from defy. Thanks a loooooooooooooooooooooooooot!:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Thank you for the detailed comparison! One more question, as it seems either Czechop's CM10.2 or Tezet's CM7 is going to win this. How is the batterylife of CM10.2 compared to CM7? And are they both better in batterylife than the Stock ROM?

Thank you once more!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dat00:
I recently moved from Stock ROM. Feeling fresh, Phone worked longer on the Stock. But I'm not ready to roll back on stock))

Czechop's CM10.2 is more gluttonous but I have enough :good:

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that this is related with CPU overclocking.

By the way, is it possible to control the CPU speed means available?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I've checked myself almost all MS2 ROMs (except for most Chinese ones).

Again, I did not perform real tests (stable conditions, up-time measurement). Also comparison might not be adequate, since I used CM7 over a year ago, when my battery was over a year newer, and certainly had bigger capacity.

One thing I know is that continuous data connection (even for Google Talk in push mode) is killing battery very quickly. My MS2 hardly ever lasts a whole day and night without charging. If I'm away from power sources, the best idea is to switch off data connection.

But in my opinion CM7 and Stock GB seemed to be most battery friendly. Danik's GB was not so good, and Engle's CM10.2 was one of worst. Now I'm using Czechop's ROM, and I'm satisfied with its power consumption. I suppose, if I switched data off, it might sustain maybe 2 days (like my old HTC Touch Pro).

But all these are only assumptions, since I know of nobody, who performed real honest "laboratory" battery tests on MS2 (besides I don't think it might be very useful).

IMHO CM7, Stock GB, and CM10.2 are comparable in battery life, so one should choose the ROM with features he likes most.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] dat00:
I leave for the night phone with switched-on GSM module. It's about 9 hours - 3%. Last Czechop's CM10.2 edit 07.11.2013 I think this is a good result.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] crazyteknohed:
In standby/deep sleep, czechop's rom reigns supreme. Unfortunately it is when the phone is in use that it rips through the battery like nobody's business.

To the person debating which rom to go for, I implore you to go for CM10.2. It's almost as quick as CM7/stock GB but infinitely better. Also, in my experience the best rom for battery life is Will5's MIUI. That rom used to last me days.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] relaxxrr:
Hi everybody, I'm thinking to switch from stock EU GB to Chechops CM 10.2, and wondering, how about free amount of RAM? Can you guys install all apps from market? and does anybody use GPS with this ROM in a car (ex.: iGO), how GPS operates, no lags, no phone overheating?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I use Trebuchet with 2 widgets (Glass Clock + Business Calendar). Not much free RAM is left - about 100-110 MB out of 477 MB. But I don't really know how is memory managed. I have no problems running PDF reader, PowerAmp, Drastic (Nintendo DS emulator), AutoMapa (quite big GPS map).

I never had any problems with installing apps from market, but I have my set of most frequently used program, which I restore from backup copies with Titanium Backup, so I don't use Google Store too often.

I use GPS on regular basis. I have no problems. Signal fixing speed, lags, overheating (I always use car charger when navigating) seem to be as on most ROMs I had. On sunny day it's best not to expose phone to sun, because it will overheat and stop charging. In my car I put a holder in a way that cool air from conditioner is flowing round phone, so it doesn't overheat at all. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] relaxxrr:
Thanks for a fast and detailed answer! Hope to flash JB in a days :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Hi,

Sorry:(, but right now I don't have much time to spend on bringing aerokernel to CM10/CM10.1.

My priority is to make some more usefull CM11(and to create AOSP 4.4) for milestone2. I'm also looking at fixing some audio problems in kernel 3.0.8.

Cheers,

Czesiek

How is this rom's performance compared to engle's release? Is it faster?

[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
It's comparable, similar.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] leeman2000:
Hi czechop,

coming from Engle_Mars's ROM which itself already was great, your ROM runs a little more smooth, got me more RAM and in GO Launcher the 3D Core is working perfectly. Everything is working fine except one little problem which already bugged me on Engle_Mars's ROM, the GSM connection gets lost now and then and I've to reenter my PIN everytime that happnes, I don't know for sure but tested so far to switch Baseband (Fixing Method listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182050 ) which didn't solve my problem. I am on the Ondemand governor but the BoostedAssV2 is giving me the same problems. I am on the standard Vsel's but the Phone used to work on even lower values until now. I would happily test and give feedback to any suggested solution. For the moment I'll try to change some RAM settings (KSM and "freigabe von Ressourcen") which I activated (could it be, that the phone app gets killed ?).

Thank's a bunch for this ROM and I've got great hopes for your KitKat :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Hi,

I presume that you only loose signal, but your phone is not getting restarted. If so, I may have a look what is going on.

Please download and flash via TWRP recovery the following zip. It contains modified ramdisk, so that it will store your logcat and dmesg output in the /tmp/logcat.txt.

Once you observer the problem(i.e. you are asked to enter SIM PIN), please copy /tmp/logcat.txt(you can use File Manager in the root mode, or es explorer or even terminal emulator) to the sdcard, and send it to me(or put it somewhere and send me a link to it). I would appreciate if you notice exact time when it happened:)

Cheers,

Czesiek
[Milestone 2 Android Development] leeman2000:
Hi Czechop, thanks in advance for your help. Downloaded the file just now and put it on the phone, you could be right with the reboots. Lately, after switching the baseband with the M2Toolkit I am getting some messages like: the modem has got a problem and the phone needs to be restarted, select one of the following (3 Options restart, remind me later, never remind me) sorry crude translation I'm from germany and to be honest I don't really remember the exact text. It count's down and then it reboots automatically (this is mentioned in the messagetext, too) I am back to the baseband 2.21 updatet through the integrated defyparts (systemsettings). I'm going to mail you the logcat as soon as the problem occures again, with the time I recognise it and the last time i looked at the phone and it still worked normally.

Thank's man, and best regards.:good:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] leeman2000:
Hi there,

I am running on baseband 2.21 since 2 days now and the problem never occured since then, seems my MS2 had a problem with the 3.4.2-145 baseband and doesn't like the MS2 baseband 2.2.2 in combination with the aero kernel, since this baseband allways worked fine for me ;). Battery consumption with the 2.21 is rather bad :P I am going to check out the other baseband versions one after another and going to post which works best for me. Like I said 2.21 seems to fix the problem with reentering pin / reboot for sure I never got over the day without reentering the pin before :P and now it works for 2 days straight. Do I need to flash something for removing the ramdisk ? Or do you want me to put up the files for each baseband test ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Great:)

To remove ramdisk probably the best would be to flash ROM again(btw, new version available)

Battery drain could be(I hope) due to the ramdisk patch(all the logcat/dmesg output needed to be written to tempfs, which consumes a little bit of power). Would be good if you could report later(after flashing ROM and thus getting rid of the ramdisk patch) if the battery is better:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Czesiek, thanks for a new release! I'm preparing to download and test it right now! But how about CM11 development? Is there any progress? Will mobile networking work? Thanks again!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
I've concentrated on 3.0.8 kernel, so haven't looked much into CM11.

But yes, there is a progress.

Mobile network is working, wifi is working. Haven't touched camera, so it still crashes when making a photo. Homescreen/Lockscreen settings are still missing(but there is a lot going on in CM sources, so this probably will be fixed shortly).

Anyway... will make some newer build soon(probably next week) so you will be able to judge yourself :)

BTW, I presume that you tested a lot of ROMS. Do you remeber per chance, if in some original motorola version(blur one) there was a working FM radio? I come across a manual which in Music section says that there should be FM radio:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
Well, yes and no. The mainboard has a FM chip, it's not connected. The Defy has it, the Milestone 2 doesn't.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Thanks:)

I read somewhere that this was the case for milestone1, so tought that could be the same with milestone2. But then why it is in the manual?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Sadly I've never encoutered any ROM with working FM radio (I used some external application for root told to enable radio on chipset, I don't remember exact name). :(
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Had a hope for a while... anyway, will need to check if in my paper manual copy FM is also mentioned. If so, then maybe motorola will give me my money back for a faulty phone;):D:D:D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Or maybe Milestone of some next generation (4th or 5th)? :) I wish you luck. If you manage to deal with them, I'll be just behind you with my claims. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Fedroid:
Only a question,

This 3.0.8 kernel will work on this rom and in cm11?

The radio FM was not enabled by default on Milestone 1, has hardware but not sofware, but someone here on XDA developed a working radio for Milestone 1. Impossible to do it on Milestone 2. We don't have hardware.

Greetings
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
3.0.8 is meant to be used for CM11. No plans for now as to use it in CM10.2

Could not agree. From what I've found so far, FM radio chip in defy/milestone1 is included in the wlan(WL1271) module. On milestone2 we use the same chip, so we should have FM. The only problem I can see is that the antenna(headset through mini jack port) might not be connected :(
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
One more thing. Maybe it's not a great invention, but as MS2 screen is rather small, I prefer a system font that doesn't take so much space. That's why I changed system font (Roboto) to its condensed version - I like it more - especially in small widgets, like agenda or calendar.

I attach a flashable zip below.

Also if somebody wanted to try fonts from CM11 (a bit different from CM10.2), I also attach a flashable zips. (Because of attachment size limit in xda-developers I had to do a dirty trick: first I created zip file with no compression - should be flashed easily, then compressed it with 7z for not to exceed attachment size limit). :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1k0z:
noob question alert

if i flash the fonts,they are gonna be applied by default?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Yes. If you flash Roboto_Condensed, it will replace default system font (Roboto). If you flash CM11 fonts, they will replace current fonts. If you flash 10.2 fonts, you'll come back to original 10.2 fonts.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
Installed last build and I'm pretty impressed.

Switched from MS2Ginger 5 and the speed of freshly installed CM10.2 is amazing. It slowed down a little bit, once I installed all needed apps and restored backups (SMSs and Call logs), but its still amazing if I take the fact, that it is running on our old M2 with just 512 MB RAM and single core CPU.

I definitely recommend all to at least try CM10.2, it's worth of it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
I have no more to say than "finally". ;) I remember you were a big Danik's ROM fan, but IMHO this one is much more features rich, while still quite responsive and stable. It is also less energy hungry than its competitor - Engle_Mars CM10.2.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
You are right. I thought, that CM10.2 will be too slow on our old M2. Also Danik's ROM is the most stable and most bugless ROM (since it is based on stock ROM) I was using on my M2. I was using it for about 1 year - that's the longest life time of any ROM, that was running on my M2.

And I thought, that migration from Danik's ROM, where all my apps and stuff was already installed and configured according my needs, will be hard and will take a lot of time - but thats not true. I just flashed tezet's CM10, then CM10.2, formatted data partition to ext4, restored my SMSs and call logs through SMS Backup+, installed all my apps from Google Play, set wallpaper, ringtone and that's it :)

Seems like camera is working fine, EDGE/3G is working great too so far. If it will be stable, if alarm clock will work without any problem, if calls/SMS and GPS will work as well, then I'm fine and I will be on this ROM for longer time I suppose ;)

Especially delete any lines referring to google sites.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
To be honest, haven't heard about omnirom:)

So no, haven't thought about porting it. Beside... Cyanogenmod is the best;):D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
There are no plans to fix bluetooth audio in CM10.2(but lately there were some changes on the CM code regarding bluedroid, so perhaps it's already fixed... I don't posses BT headset so could not test it myself).

But it will be fixed in CM11 with 3.0.8 kernel(open source audio lib is used there, so it shouldn't be that hard to fix it):)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
You could have waited... I almost sure that soon everybody will switch from CM10.2 to CM11:). It's really fast/responsive(tested it with dalvik, and with ART it shoudl be even faster:D).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] divie:
Well, when Cyanogenmod turned into Cyanogen inc and started to earn money with an open source project (atleast, that was the idea) many big developers felt left out and stopped contributing. This is also the reason why Focal camera isn't part of CM anymore.

That is why the main developer behind Focal along with a team of basically cyanogen outcasts announced Omnirom at the android BBQ.

Anyway, you can find the xda thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2481571

They promise multi window support and some other nice features. Could be interesting.

Did this rom support 'adhoc' in wifi ?

I have test it with my pc network card in p2p model ,but fail: phone cannot search my pc network card .

I find 'wlan direct' and touch in,it always searching but nothing .

ps,my pc system is xpwin32.

Thanks
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
I've read somewhere that android does not support wifi ad hoc networks(at least that was the state some time ago).

It supports however wifi direct. But most likely your PC needs to support it as well in order to comunicate with MS2.

Hi Czechop,

thanks again for your help with my problem (had to reenter PIN multiple times a day) after flashing the newer version the battery usage got down and the phone now works perfect most of the time with 2.21 baseband, by the way I had to change the baseband after flashing the newer ROM. The PIN problem reoccured :P after changing the baseband via defy baseband switcher to 2.21 and then selecting 2.21 in the defy parts of your ROM now it works again (most of the time, now and then it reoccures every 1-2 days, which is not really problematic could be some memory settings which I changed back to default today) Other basebands (European) don't really work for me the newer ones don't even get me a working GSM connection :P, but not really problematic if one version works fine ;). I've seen your KitKat thread and the progress, how's the new kernel doing ?

Thanks again for your great work, saves me buying a new phone (without hardware keyboard - BOOOO).

[Milestone 2 Android Development] alan101:
I had test it.

The usb flash driver,usb mouse and Joystick works ok.(without external power supply)

The 120G HDD works ok.(with external power supply)

The issue is the same as SlugZero.

I check the /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode,it has several mode (a_host,b_idle,b_peripheral,a_peripheral).

In normal it's shoud in b_idle mode.When use OTG it shoud in a_host,but when the OTG device connect then it convert to b_peripheral.

Sometimes unplug device and cable it convert to a_peripheral.

And at this time,suggest to reboot phone because the phone continuous output power via usb port.

All issue will return to normal after reboot phone.

Another idea,maybe can prepare two 2.6.32.9 kernel for CM11 before the 3.0.8 kernel is fully working.

One is for the normal use and another included OTG for testing. :D

If anyone interested in OTG state. Here are some information.

If updating from the older version of this rom I only need to flash and then wipe dalvik and cache

no factory reset right?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Agmenor:
Difficult but successful upgrade

Hello czechop and all others,

I tried to upgrade from Engle_Mars' CyanogenMod 10.1, but that didn't end well: I was stuck in an infinite loop with the CyanogenMod logo (Sid) turning forever. I thus tried other ROMs until I erased one and forgot to install another one: my phone lost all operating system.

So I ended up installing Android 2.3.2 from Motorola, rooting, then installing CM10 from tezet and finally CM10.2 from czehop. A little like a time-travel.

So now it is all functioning well. I don't notice a lot of improvements, apart from the following minor things:

new touch-enabled recovery, TeamWin

new booting animation

a little more snappy

CyanogenMod account

encrypted texts (don't get me wrong, this is a huge improvement, but I already had TextSecure so I won't see a major difference)

So thank you very much!

I am just having some trouble installing the Google Apps, because I didn't get which ones I should get and install. Right now it is a little troublesome. If anyone has a hint of what he or she has installed, I'll gladly take it.

Keep up the good work,

Agmenor
