Here too: dirty install = flash ROM, wipe cache and dalvik.

One "feature" showed up: Screen rotation didn't skip 180° (although not ticked). Went through unselecting all angles, then selecting 0°, 90°, 270°, now works.

Is there a way to remove a somehow failed compass calibration, BTW?

Edit: Removed the file /data/misc/akmd_set.txt in root mode and rebooted, but the compass (and, FWIW, also the accelerometers) behave strangely - to reproduce, use GPS Status and Toolkit, enable the "leveling tool" bubble (and perhaps the "pitch indicator"), and tilt the device: For me, the bubble goes sideways the wrong direction, and the compass spins wildly which it shouldn't.

What's puzzling though is that the "Bubble" app behaves very smoothly (and correctly).

Also the "Sensor Tester" app doesn't show anything strange (except g values >10 for the LIS331DLH acc). It seems though that the AK8973 might be (h/w?) broken as the orientation sensor returns rather unsteady "Yaw" values when slowly rotating (or even not moving at all) the device laying flat on the table :( (Pitch BTW is ~+/-180°, Roll ~0°). This matches what GPS Status shows, on the desk (which is not a real use case) - and pitch 180° explains the wrong motion of the bubble. Got to find a glass table to check it in upside-down position.

Am I the only one seeing this kind of behaviour?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Well... unfortunately no miracles, certainly not everything is working fine. ;)

Volume during calls is low (too low to make calls in crowded places). Loudspeaker does not work. Phone reboots from time to time (in my case several times during TI backup restore, also while playing FF7 on FPse). Menu's lacking a lot of options. And yes, phone app freezes. No wifi tether.

But: wifi's working, contacts/calendar synchronizes well, system's very smooth

Maybe I was too enthousiastic late at night... But you're doing great job, and the ROM's coming into good direction!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
Thanks GPS works :) i just have to wait a little time. Thanks for this rom, and waiting for the next release :D

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

Another bug or this is a bug? The battery only showb every 10. percent (90%-80%-70%). This will be fixed?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1phantom:
So, this rom is awesome, its runs very smooth and looks great, but has some issues for me:

incoming calls has too low volume, but outgoing calls has good one

wi-fi is working, but wi-fi tether it isnt

gps is working

sometimes apps is freeze completly, only reboot helping

sometimes, after incoming calls, i get call app window what this person calls me another time, but he isnt, i can answer but then cant hang-out or smth, aeroplane mode is stuck and only reboot helping

no launcher settings (cant hide google bar, for example)

no cLock widget settings (runs only ones when you add widget)

torch not working at start, but after running app and enable/disable many times it starts to work

auto mode of brightness seems not working or working incorrect

anyway thanks for your work, czechop
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1phantom:
+

link notification and call volume setting is not working

network mode in quick settings not working on switch, only long press works

there are 2 settings of quick settings layout
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Thanks ALL for your feedback so far... more feedback appreciated :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
for me the biggest problem with this rom, when I try to call somebody i have to wait aprox. 20sec to display the calling screen, and if someone calls me, it is also take a long time to display the call(and i can't answer the phone).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Today's release should fix that:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1k0z:
hi czechop...i'm pretty excited by the work you did in the cm10.2 release,and many thanks.my question is if the today's release of cm11 is for everyday use.And a last request,i know that benchmarks always dont tell the truth but could you do some and post any pics?Thanks in advance mate:good:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
I will try... Waiting to charge up the battery :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Is it for everyday use? It's hard to tell. It probably depends on what do you expect/need from the ROM:)

If you don't need camera(as it does not work yet), you don't use wifi tethering(haven't tested, but it probably does not work yet as well), and you are fine with leaving some settings in the default state(as some settings are missing right now, e.g. notification bar settings, majority of lock screen settings, wallpaper(regarding this one I've used Titanium backup to restore wallpaper from CM10.2)), then probably you can use it on daily basis.

I've been using it(last version) for only a couple of hours, so my observations might not be very accurate. But it seems quite stable right now(previous build crashed a few times, this haven't crashed yet:D) and battery consumptions is more or less similar as in CM10.2.

Will be able to tell you more on Monday(after few more days of usage):)

Regarding benchmarks... I don't like benchmarks:D One thing I can say is that UI/launcher is definitelly faster:)

PS: You can always make a TWRP backup of CM10.2 and try CM11... half an hour and you will be able to judge yourself if it's for daily use or not yet:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Waiting for your feedback:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] yuriaps:
I've installed the new version. i'm testing it.

soon i feedback!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
The new build is good :) The notification bar become transparent, the caller is now better... Thanks

And 2 question [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION]: can you add in the next release an ota updater? (With ota updating is is easier, and faster :) ). And ART works in this release?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1phantom:
ART is working, taking huge time to reboot phone first time (about 15 minutes for me to boot, and optimizing apps then about 30 minutes) so be patient. After that gapps is totally broken, error every second, it is seems to be playstore app, and gmail and google+ syncing.

Reinstalling gapps not helps
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Same here. Gapps broken. Error messages every couple of seconds. Very long first boot. Looking for some working gapps.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1phantom:
I am reinstall gapps and, after that, wipe cahce/dalvik from twrp, after another very very long boot all work fine now
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Now I have working system with ART enabled, but achieved it in somewhat peculiar way. First I installed ROM, switched to ART, but there were a lot of errors after reboot concerning gapps. Tried to flash different gapps with no luck. I gave up and wanted to come back to Dalvik, but not to erase /data. So I reinstalled latest ROM zip, then gapps suggested by Czechop, rebooted (again it took very very long), system started, no gapps error messages, and in settings it reports the system uses ART.

Then I tried to install a modded Play Store, but found that latest (4.x) crashes, but the old Market 2.3.6 is working well.

Another thing is that there's very little (no at all?) space on /system. I had to delete almost all ringtones and notifications, as well as plenty of apks from /app.

[MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION] Would it be possible to increase the size of /system partition? MS2 has plenty of storage space, and also SD may be used for app installation, so if only it was possible to decrease /data in favor of /system, it would be nice...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
I found another bug: Proximity sensor doesn't work, and I always press hang up with my ear :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] yuriaps:
That's true. I've noticed this bug too. I hang up one call with my ear too...heheehehe

Another 2 bugs i've noticed:

1 - Sometimes the signal (here in Brazil i use TIM) just go away... I need to use Airplane mode to signal get back.

2 - The launcher has no settings. I can't use the widgets the way i like it because i can't modify the grid size.

Well, except this 3 bugs i noticed, the rom works great! Faster than anyone i've used before.

Excellent job Czechop!!! Can't hardly wait for the updates :D

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
OK. A bunch of impressions after testing CM11 using ART for 2 days.

1. First thing is that what we must have is patience. Boot process takes much more time in comparison to Dalvik (an alien head with animated arrow around it may last even for 5 minutes, if it last longer there's something wrong with precompiled apps - you have to take battery out, boot recovery, and erase cache/Dalvik cache).

2. Applications precompilation (frame that appears during boot after alien head saying that system's preparing applications) is very very slow. It is more or less 10x slower than with Dalvik. In my case precompilation of 150 apps takes over half an hour, so don't forget to plug charger in. This process takes place always after Dalvik cache erase.

3. Not all applications work with ART. One of most important is Titanium Backup - only newest versions (6.1.4.1+) don't crash. Unfortunately even though Lucky Patcher can patch latest TB when using Dalvik, it is hopeless with ART - that's why I had to buy a legitimate TB key (to be honest I should do that long time ago, because it's the best and most useful app for anybody juggling with ROMs).

4. Sometimes some surprises may happen - I don't remember what exacly I did, but after reboot SMS app crashed and kept crashing - in such case you have to simply reflash CM11 again, erase cache/Dalvik cache, wait for about 30-45 minutes until system boots (sic!), but fortunately you'll lose no data.

5. Perhaps most of us (but I may be wrong) use a patched Play Store. I found the only working version is 2.3.6 patched Android Marked installed with Lucky Patcher (it doesn't look so fancy, but doesn't crash).

6. Almost everything's working well, but I found several broken things. WiFi tether's not working. Also changing network mode (2G/3G) from topbar does nothing. Somebody reported proximity sensor during calls doesn't work - I'm not sure - luckily I don't touch my ears while calling.

7. And now some sweet honey. ART is very, very smooth. Scrolling, switching between apps IMHO is visibly faster that with Dalvik (but maybe it's a delusion caused by waiting for so long until system boots up ;) ).

[MENTION=1707837]checho[/MENTION]p

Congratulations! Thank you very much! Please keep working, and give us new better releases. This ROM is one of best concerning performance (besides boot speed of course).

Anybody interested may try it, cause almost all necessary functions are operating well.

Hi friends!!

Sorry if i'm doing this question at the wrong place, but anyone knows if some developer is working on cm12 for our Milestone 2????

Stock MILS2_U6_2.4.24 to CM11

Hi everyone,

I'm having troubles installing CM11.

Here's how I tried it:

- flash stock rom via RSDLite 5.7;

- root with GingerBreak;

- enter recovery with droid2bootstrapper;

- install tezet's latest CM10;

- wipe data/cache;

- boot;

- reboot to recovery;

- install czechop's latest CM10.2;

[at this point, the phone without a SIM constantly switches between airplane mode on and off;

sometimes the telephony layer crashes]

- wipe data/cache;

- boot;

- reboot to recovery;

- format the partition to ext4;

- install czechop's latest CM11.

At this point, no matter if I wipe or not, the phone goes into bootloop.

Any suggestions?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Bocskay:
Strange, I just simple followed instructions on the first page and works like a charm.

I think It doesn't matter Sim card present or not.

MM2 asking for PUK code after upgrading to CM11

Hi, I upgraded the phone from stock GB (2.3.4) to CM10, CM10.2 and finally CM11.

Everything went OK with CM10 but when restarting the phone with CM11 it asked for the PUK (yes, PUK code). I thought this was strange but looked up for the simcard PUK and it did not accept it. I insert the very same simcard in another phone and it works OK. I alredy tried out switching basebands (I'm in Argentina, but I tried Brazil and US basebands).

I noticed the phone reboots twice after switching baseband. First time it shows the Motorola red logo, status LED goes green and then it reboots this second time ending the process. Is this normal?

I already did a nandroid backup and I'm thinking of going back to CM10.2 to see what happens.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Bocskay:
The red Motorola logo and LEDs are normal. Are you sure your phone

Is not locked? (Carrier and/or simlock).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mautas:
I was using it with simcards for different carriers before upgrading and after getting the simlock removed by some guy (I don't know how he did it because I was not able to unlock the phone with the codes provided by the original carrier it was locked to). It's asking for PUK, not subsidy code. This is weird.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HerrZorn:
Like a charm

Hi there,

updated from 20.01.2014 to 22.12.2014 and played around for some hours. It is great. This is the fastest ROM i've ever installed on the MS2. No delayed call notification, working BT, Cam (taking pictures and recording), WLAN, tethering,....

I did it "dirty" and wiped the cache after it. No Problems so far. Again, the best ROM so far.

Thank you very much.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
And the battery life (even with the first battery) is quite impressive - I ran the MS2 yesterday for 9 hours acting as a 3G-to-WiFi gateway before it went red at 1% battery level. I admit it's heavy duty stuff (twice the weight of my OnePlusOne) but it's durable and still useful after all those years, thanks to CM, thanks to all those people working on this ROM!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mautas:
Enabling swap

I am having a hard time trying to enable memory swap with MM2 + this CM11.

Has anybody been able to enable virtual memory on this device?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
Although development seems to be over for the MS2, here's a minor nitpick (but as with all minor issues, they become a PITA when repeated often enough):

- From Settings, factory reset doesn't work at all (pressing the button will change its colour but no action can be detected). I would have preferred this method over recovery tricks, for a reason...

- After wiping data/cache from TWRP, the (in)famous setup wizard crash is back.

I learned that I should ignore the setup wizard, reboot into recovery instead, and reflash gapps - but I still have no clue why this works, and whether the changes could(n't) be packages into an installable zip file instead. I'd appreciate some enlightenment! Anyone?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
There was some magic with touching screen corners in some specific order to bypass setup wizard loop. As I never remembered the correct sequence, I just touched 4 corners at random until wizard ended. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
I know this kind of magic - but in some cases (when I lend the mobile to someone else) it'd be nice to have the setup wizard starting correctly... after a factory reset, and after installing rom and gapps (and hw kbd settings) from scratch.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
Talking about stagefright: any chance to get a security update for the MS2 CM11.0?

(5 weeks later): I just noticed that there's a StageFright-fixed CM11 (being worked on now) for the Samsung Galaxy 551 (aka GT.I5510, aka Callisto) - so it can be done.

Unfortunately for both devices, the original developers seem to have disappeared (I hope it's nothing serious, just a lack of devices?).

Hello [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION]: Pretty please, can we have a fixed MS2 ROM as well?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fanghongjian:
Quarx2k has update his CM11 in 14.11.15 . And it seems to be no problem any more .
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Hello again guys.

Since Milestone 2 is an ancient piece of hardware now, I suppose most of you have already moved to other devices. Can I ask you what mobile phones do you have now? As for me physical QWERTY was always most important, I moved to Motorola Photon Q, and I love this phone, especially after I modded keyboard to support Polish characters (like I did with Milestone 2).

Do you still use QWERTY phones? They become very rare these days... Which one is the best? What were your choices?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Olstyle:
Since on the European market there were no Android phones left with hardware keyboards at all, I gave up and got myself a Moto G 4G.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
In my drawer there are (MS2, Samsung G551) - what about a recent rebuild of CM11 for the MS2, including the latest StageFright fixes?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
Ping?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
I'm too late. it seems.

In an attempt to check whether I could (learn to) build a newer CM-11 for the MS2, I tried this, but during "repo sync" I got stuck. "git clone" was asking for a password to github.com, indicating that some repositories are no longer available.

Does this mean that "it's all over now"?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] steve8x8:
Addition to the previous post: Using "repo sync --no-clone-bundle --jobs=1", I was able to untangle the error messages, and got:

Fetching projects: 20% (94/470) Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_volley
Fetching project platform/prebuilts/clang/darwin-x86/host/3.3
Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_external_svox
Username for 'https://github.com':

A search for android_external_svox in ForkHub does return a list of repos, but none by Cyanogen.

Any suggestions? [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION], what would *you* do? drop that from the list?)

Addition: Pressing Enter twice (for user and pass), now gives a possible reason:

remote: Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown

There has been a DMCA request indeed (dated 2014-12-22, the very same day the last ROM was released by [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION] - coincidence?), which should have affected a single file in the cm-10.2 branch AFAICT, not the whole repo.

Another edit: I enclosed the offending line in the manifest in <!-- --> brackets, and was able to run a full repo sync (after replacing the non-existing cyngn/android_vendor_cyngn with a fork that's still there). Now I'm stuck at the brunch step - apparently I need a roomservice.xml file that isn't there. Any suggestions?

(I'm afraid I will have to move from a Debian Stretch box to Jessie to avoid issues with recent gcc and java 1.8 - later.)

and the gapps which is recommended for this rom, doesn't work with art?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Languages

To make /system smaller, so that gapps can fit, I plan to remove some languages from the build.

The following 2 will be included by default: en_US pl_PL.

Please report what other langues you would like to see in.

You can choose from the following:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] dat00:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] alan101:

thanks

Maybe can remove some file from /media/audio and /tts/lang/pico

Because that allows users to easily add back.

It's also strange, because at first they didn't work for me, but after reflash of system and gapps again they started to work, and now they're working even though I performed several system flashes since then.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
1) Sorry man, but I don't plan to add OTA updater. I'm not even sure if OTA updater can flash both ROM and GAPPS at one go... and if not, you would need to install some part(gapps) manually anyway, so it won't be that easy:)

2).Yes, ART works(but you need to be really, really patient, as @n1phantom and @rabinhood already wrote:D)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rkrisi:
thanks, I tried it, but Google Play kept crashing, and the phone became slower with art. (I don't know why)

and what about the battery level? It is also a bug, or CM11 only every 10% can show?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
It's good that you only hang up your call. During one call my ear gone to settings... don't even know what it did there;):D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
0. proximity sensor should be fixed right now

1. last version does contain baseband selection tool again... you may try to swtich to central europe 2.21... perhaps it will help

2. you may try to use some other luncher from the market while the settings are not there:)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
As @divie already wrote, we cannot play with partion sizes(this would brick our phone). We only can trim the build or move some parts(e.g. apps) from the /system to /data.

Is the kernel of the new version(12/2) still 2.6.32.9 ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
I haven't tried ART in the last 2 versions, but it works on the 25.11.2013 one. I used there gapps dated 24.11.2013(you can grab them here). But as I've written on the first post, I don't recommend to switch to ART just yet:)

Regarding battery and 10%... it's a bug.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] czechop:
Still old one. I think I was too optimistic in one post some time ago, stating that next CM11 version will most likely be on 3.0.8 kernel:D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] n1phantom:
hmm.. looking to known bugs, i often use reboot to recovery and it always work fine, i am at 29.11 version now

Thanks for the answer Czechop!

I've installed the new version and some other bugs are happen:

1 - Google Play don't get connection.

2 - Google Drive don't open.

I made a backup with Titanium Backup and installed again the rom and the gapps.

Soon I'll post the results.
