[Milestone 2 Android Development] Engle_Mars:
KitKat for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.4)

Introduction

I am a android fan and I like it very much (I came from Chinese). I have ported this rom for my ME722 (Milestone 2 China version) and the project is open source. The rom has some nice advancements. I would like you to try my rom and send bugreports to me. I'm a Java / C++ programmer, but i'm not good at hardware therefor some bugs I can't fix. I have submitted some patches for the CM official, but if you can supply patches for this it will be ok. The rom is world wide language support.

(In order to get more effect battery control, I suggest you use my develop screen brightness controller application. You can download from

FAQ

1. The media scan eat up my battery.

The major problem is the SD card has too many files to scan. You can create empty file that is named '.noscanandnomtp' under the folders that you need not to scan. To me, I add this empty file in all folders under the root folder of SD card, except the folder "DICM", 'Audios', "Noticifitions", "Alerm". After do the previous steps, you can find the system speed will very quick and no more battery usage.

2. I can not send SMS.

The problem is happen when you upgrade from other ROM. The SMSC is incorrect make such problem. Please refer to the following page to try to resolve it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SMSC_Updates.

3. How can I enable ART

3.1 First, please enter development module. Settings->About Phone->Click the 'Build number' item in seven time. It will show 'Developer options'

3.2 Settings->Developer options->Select runtime, click the item Use ART. Restart your phone is OK.

4. If enable ART cannot enter system how to resolve it.

4.1. WIPE.

4.2. Use adb to connect your phone by following command to set back dalvik and keep all your data

adb shell setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libdvm.so

I want to trim some language support, please tell me what's your langage usage. Because the system partition is too small to fit for bigger and bigger system
