Hey czechop,

this post regards to your thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2517735 but since I'm a new XDA user I cannot post to it :)

Your CM11 for Milestone 2 is really really awesome :) KitKat performs really great on MS2. Thank you very much!

Since I've installed the ROM two days ago I had only one issue: when I turn Bluetooth on, the WiFi connection is gone for a few seconds. After 5-10 seconds the WiFi connection is established again.

Another issue I've had with all custom ROMs so far (tezet's CM10, your CM10.2 and now your CM11) is the displayed battery level. An example: this morning my MS2 was fully charged. After about 4-5 hours the displayed battery level was 1%. After that the MS2 was normally usable for another 5 hours. After about 10 hours the MS2 automatically shutted down. There is a screenshot of the battery usage attached, shortly before the shutdown (in German, sorry...).

Does anyone of you have the same issue? Is there anything I can do to get a more reliable battery status?

One month ago I bought a new original battery for the MS2, but the behavior is still the same.

By the way: what CPU governor are you guys are using? Which one gives the best compromise between performance and battery life?

I can confirm the problems with Bluetooth headset, too. It's impossible to use at the moment. Sounds like a drunken damaged robot or something :eek:

czechop, please beat this annoying robot ;)
[Milestone 2 General] neolovich:
The problem with the battery depends on the battery. That hasn't anything to do with the Android Version you have installed. If you are able to understand german you can look in a really good MS2 Thread at the "Android-Hilfe" Forum. There is a big explanation about the difficulties finding a really original battery for the MS2.

Your battery is probably a fake :-/
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Hey neolovich,

I'm rather sure it's the original battery:

- price: 38 EUR on handyakkus.de

- original packaging, unopened

I have recognized the wide choice of fake batterys during the search for a reliable shop.

But additionally I will check the "Android-Hilfe" forum as soon as I have the time to spare :)

As I already mentioned it was the same behavior with the original battery (original delivered with the MS2) and the new one: the displayed battery level went down to 1% after 4-5 hours. After that the MS2 was running normally for another 4-5 hours before it was shutting down. So the run-time of the battery was approx. 10 hours. Just the displayed battery level was totally wrong.

Two weeks ago I stumbled across the app "BetterBatteryStats". This app displays useful information like: deep sleep time, awake time, screen on time, ...

Strange to say after installing this app the displayed battery level was okay again... Also the run-time is a little bit better (currently: 40% left after 9 hours). Sounds strange, I know, but after installing this app the displayed battery level is reliable again. I don't unterstand why... :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] OhJeez:
Had same issue with stock battery, see here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846002

I was running Tezet CM7 at the time. Since then (I may have had to block IO ports one more time, but I don't remember for sure), the battery is working normally ever since.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

Correction: It was Endless CM7.2. Can not edit post, since the edit form won't load for me. Well, I guess one post closer to commenting in the ROM release thread :rolleyes:
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Wow, interesting approach :cyclops: I also did some searching about this issue, but unfortunaely I haven't found your thread.

Before I coincidentally found "BetterBatteryStats" I was so cheesed of this problem so I completely disabled the display of the battery charge level as well as battery LED :rolleyes:

Great, one more possibility to solve this problem if it will occur again.

Oh, same problem as me: not enough posts to post in the ROM release thread ;)

Do you also use czechops CM11?
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Regarding to the latest version "24.02.2014":

Bluetooth headset/handsfree connection is working now, many thanks for this! I also noticed the very low volume, I had to increase the volume of my car's handsfree nearly to the max. Also my counterpart told me, he was hearing his own voice while speaking.

I also noticed some sproadic reboots the last few days. But never reproducable, each one after totally different action (using camera, after app installation, during standby...).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50628909&postcount=370

Also had the locking sound a couple of times like patrol-cz. Last time half an-hour ago: send device to standby, after ca. 10 minutes the locking sound appears.

telephony problem

anybody have telephony problem on the lastest CM11 by czechop
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
What exactly do you mean with "Telephony problem"?

I have some random reboots from time to time. Sometimes I've got the message in the attached screenshot after reboot (in German; sloppy translated: "The device was restarted due to a problem with the telephone modem."). Don't know the reason for this. I hope czechop recognized this thread and have an idea :D

Last week I've had a lot of random reboots. This week it's okay so far :good:

[MENTION=5219550]violente[/MENTION]: sorry, I don't know...
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Unfortunately I have a lot of reboots with the current version "12.03.2014". Sometimes with the telephony layer message, sometimes not.

Is there any way to find out the reason for that? Maybe an error log or something?

Does it depend on the baseband like patrol-cz in the ROM thread mentioned?
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Since I switched the baseband to "2.5.1" (Europe > Central Europe) two weeks ago the telephony layer error seems to be solved for me :good:

(my location is south-west Germany)

Nevertheless I still have sporadic reboots :(

Is there any error log or something to find out the reason?

Yesterday I've tried to stream music via Bluetooth A2DP to my Beewi BBR100. The playback was extremely stuttering/impossible to use. Anyone experience the same problem?
[Milestone 2 General] urpion:
Hi! I too have telophony problems. I have no phone or packet data reception. Does anyone run without gapps? I started without, then minimal, then browser sync, then calendar sync. But still, can't make or recieve calls or packet data. My service provider can't find any problems at there end either

Laggy video playback

Hi All,

I've installed the latest ROM two days ago and it seems to be fine except the video playback. It's very laggy while I was trying to play back 720p videos (recorded with stock or current ROM). I've installed MX Player and if I enable software decoding the video playback not lagging anymore (hardware decoding not working for me), but in this case I have sound delaying problem.

It seems to me that hardware acceleration (GPU) is not enabled for video playback.

Anyone else experienced the same problem?

CM11 on Milestone 2 (a953)

Hi,

I installed CM11 as Czechop descirbed.

First CM10 (was fine), then CM10.2 (keyboard errors, but done)

Right now Milestone is booting: blue CM log and and an arrow is circle around, but nothing happens.

Unfortunately i can not enter into the recovery menu. I tried Power and Vol down, Power and X buttons also, no luck.

Any idea?
[Milestone 2 General] ---UFO---:
To access recovery, you need to press VolumeDown when you see blue led after turning on the phone.

Also, have you formatted data as ext4?
[Milestone 2 General] Bocskay:
A953

Hi,

So now i can go into the bootrecovery menu (Android system recovery<3e>), but everytime when i select a packaeg to install, during verification it fails:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Is there any tip or trick?

Very strange the phone boots up only when usb cable is connected to a PC (MotDevManager installed). All i can do is torn on/off USMB Mass storage. No home screen , only task bar. I can not run any app.

Pease help!

:crying:
[Milestone 2 General] Bocskay:
Thx

Thx for the help, vol down on blue led was working, But still not booting up without pc cable connected.
[Milestone 2 General] Bocskay:
So, formatted as ext4, but still not booting uo , only CM logo and arrow cricle.

When connceting PC, boots up, but no apps, no icons, no home screen, just black, empty screen, only taskbar.

Tried to rcover, then install new package with TWRP, but no luck.

Finally i a had red Motorola logo and nothing else (no leds, no waves)

Vol Up+Down and power at the same time bring black screen with Ready to program Connction as USB.

With RSDlite 6.1.6 i was able to upload stock fw.

Viola!

Boots up with stock fw (Android 2.3.4), and everything looks fine.

Now roll again CM10, CM10.2 then CM11

CM11

Hi Czechop!

I tried to follow Your steps in CM11 installation guide.

"•If you wiped data(made factory reset) before installation, then after installing ROM boot it first, and then reboot and install gapps(otherwise you may get setup wizard crashes)"

First time i did not made a factory reset, but the installation did.

For the first boot - as You mentioned crashed, second time stuck in boot (blue cm logo and arrow, more than 10 min)

Please help me, what did i wrong

Oh i installed Gapss minimal 4.4.2 signed (20MB)

Thanks in advamce
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
I am using Milestone 2 for some months now, and I think I can tell my experience for some of your problems (though they may not be much helpful, sorry for that).

1. The battery problem. I think I had such issue once, and I solved it by just leaving the MS2 charging for the whole night, despite the indicator showing 100%. I think it may sometimes show 100% when the battery is far below 100%, that's why it drops rapidly to 1% when the meter realizes the truth :). Recently I have also had the opposite: The phone discharged to 1% (in cold and humid conditions, that may be the cause) and I switched it off. About two hours later, when it got the normal temperature, I plugged it to the charger to see the battery indicator at... 60% :).

2. The (tele)phony problem :). I had some dreadful ordeals with this problem. It started about one month after installing CM (don't remember which version that was) - the telephony layer crashed often when I was in one specific area of my city. Then It slowly started to crash in other areas, and finally was crashing about twice a day (sometimes twice in a minute) everywhere. (due to that, I think the problem is somewhat related to the moment when the phone switches between GSM antennas). I tried quite many things, including installing cm10 by czechop, cm10 and 11 by Engle_Mars, reverting to stock (un-rooted) and rooting again from scratch, not installing any apps. The only time it was not crashing was when I had stock Gingerbread installed. (Interestingly, even with vulnerable roms it never crashed during a call). I tried also increasing the processor voltage values (OPP), and lowering the max frequency, but it didn't help either. Then I went for two weeks to my parents for Christmas. My parents live in a village, where there is only one antenna, and... the phone didn't crash at all through that time. But what was even more strange, when I returned to my town, the crashes did not return (and it's been 4 months since). Now I don't know what to think about it, but... if you can, try going to a village for two weeks, maybe that helps :). The crashes did not return, but recently the phone reboots occasionally (usually after ending a call), but that's once per two weeks, so it's not very inconvenient.

telephony problems

hi

i'm experiencing the same problem...i've installed bootlog uptime, and i've found a strange pattern in the reboots:

when i'm at home the phone reboots every 32 minutes(sometimes it even crashes)...but when i'm elsewhere it doesn't have any problems

i've collected some log about the problem it's availibe at (i'm not yet have the right to post into the dev forum, and even here i cant post urls so...

i leave out the obvious part from the url: pastebin.com/u2dVS131

)

from the log i thing that the problem is related to the umts layer in the phone, and that's why encounter the problem only in at home

czechop 20140312 on A953 in Hungary

i will today switch to some other rom..hope that helps...
[Milestone 2 General] KokoSafe:
I've found the problem. If the picture size is set to 3.8MP (widescreen) the autofocus is not working. When I set the image size back to 5MP the autofocus mode started to work again.
[Milestone 2 General] Scalabis:
Yeah, I observed the same behavior! Using a camera only in 5 MP resolution is not a big problem, but let's cross our fingers until the next update.

The last version (30.05) is awesome. Took me some time to adapt the new launcher, but it's kind of cool.

Since the last 3 versions, I have no problems related to telephony layer. I did shuffle the band selector in order to get rid of the error.

A huge Thanks to [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION]!
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
IMHO the previous version was very stable. Unfortunately yesterday, using 30.05, I encoutered "telephony layer problem" again. Hope it was only a bad luck. It's good, that in case, I can always revert to the previous one. Czechop's doing great job!
[Milestone 2 General] LickTheLizard:
Can someone confirm, that the last update broke the camera completely on some devices? I can't access it from any app. Neither the gallery, nor whatsapp or the camera app itself... reflashed, reseted, fixed permissions, still no luck.
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
Sorry mate, if only you asked a bit earlier, I could had checked it, but now I had to revert to a previous build because of random reboots/telephone layer problems.
[Milestone 2 General] A953User:
Camera works for me with the latest release.

Still have random reboots from time to time (without the telephone layer message). 5 minutes ago for example, during music playback via Bluetooth A2DP :eek:

Bluetooth A2DP playback is working great now. In the previous release the playback was totally stuttering. Thanks czechop :good:
[Milestone 2 General] Scalabis:
The camera works fine here! Still pictures and film shooting.

The only thing I noticed, since the beginning of CM11, is the image seems a bit misaligned... Kind of weird: what I see is not exactly what I get when taking pictures.

Did you try to revert to the previous version, and check how camera is?
[Milestone 2 General] LickTheLizard:
Yeah, it was just the camera-App beeing broken. Google Camera worked fine... thanks anyway! Other than that, Ican definitly recommend this ROM if you want these sweet KitKat things. Everything worked fine.

Though, in the process of replacing my keyboard, I "finally" broke the phone... RIP.
[Milestone 2 General] Scalabis:
Thanks [MENTION=5604571]LickTheLizard[/MENTION]! I'll try GCamera, and post some test pictures soon!

And it's a really sad new about your MoMi2!
[Milestone 2 General] alvinlui:
This is my first post in XDA. I'm sorry that this post is a bit long but I think czechop's CM11 is really awesome and hope everyone can enjoy this rom without having the reboot and battery issues.

I have got real positive experience after upgrading from 0312 to 0530 build. I hope my experience would help someone.

I had been getting telephony layer problem and the phone reboots more than 2 times everyday when using 0312 build. Battery exhausted in 10 hours after a full charge.

Then I flashed the 0512 over 0312 directly but both problems persisted.

Finally, I went through the whole installation path again and both problems disappeared.:laugh:

Here are what I have done.

1. Factory reset on 0312 build (note sure if necessary).

2. Install CM10 (if my memory is good, it is the requirement of czechop's CM10.2

3. Without reboot flash czechop's CM10.2 version >= 07.11.2013

4. Without reboot flash czechop's CM11 0512 build

5. Reboot to CM11 since I have factory reset before, according to installation instructions

6. Flash latest minimal gapps 4.4.2

7. Reboot and the MS2 worked like a charm! :laugh:

PS1 Although I have already noticed the battery drain issue had gone after doing the above, I still decided to calibrate the battery with the app "Battery Calibrator". I suppose any similar apps which are available on Play store can do the same job although there had been doubts using this kind of apps. In fact I didn't use any telephony service since I only inserted an expired sim card in the slot, but after more than 30 hours of standby and slight usage, now the battery remains 40%, similar to how it was behaving in GB.

PS2 I don't have any BT device so I was not able to simulate the BT issue according to someone's report.

Missing Governor?

Hi guys! I don't have the minimum amount of post to post in Dev, so here I go:

Since the last update by [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION], I observed this issue. When I enter the power menu (that one by pressing vol- when the blue led blinks), the selected governor is "SmartAss". When I boot the phone normally and go to Config>Performance, is the "Interactive" governor used. And more weird: when I click to change the governor, "SmartAss" is not available as an option.

Did you guys observed this? How can I restore SmartAss to be available again?

Thanks!

Which version of TWRP works to update to latest czechop CM11?

Thank you alvinlui. I had problems to upgrade to cm11. The last update (30.5.) doesn't work. File is not corrupted (MD5). I was wondering if TWRP is the reason, because I read on the developer page, that version 2.6.3.1 is required to update to kitkat. I use an older version. Milestone 2 is not supported anymore. Old versions are not provided for download on developer page.

Which version of TWRP do you use? Where can I get it?

I'm using the latest version cm11 realized that the battery consumption is high, another thing that did not work with me is in the country network of choice here in Brazil VIVO uses the 850/1900 network and also the 900/2100 and has not this option would be interesting if he left for all the option of 850/900/1900/2100 rest of the rom're great.

thank you.

[Motorola Atrix 2] dcutz:
Hey anybody!

So i've pretty much looked all around, this stuff is scarce.. Could anybody outline the steps for adding active display to your custom rom? I'm already familiar with all the unpacking of apks and jar files, so you don't need to go that far back, just which exact files to edit and in what manner?

the "ChameleonOS" team gave much of the code needed here "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450697" but not much word on how to integrate it in.. I think if someone made a tutorial on this, that'd be awesome.

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
It has to be intergrated while building from source.

can't you just add it in? like modify the framework and stuff?

[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Now that the "gates are open" on the Google Chromecast it *should* in some way, be possible to root it now. I have done some security researching and I was wondering if we could create a malicious streaming app to stream a shebang file (hashbang, whatever you wanna call it; same tactic used in both versions of iOS' evasi0n) to run a script to root the device. We might also be able to stream over elf binaries that use kernel exploits to root the device then use adb to execute them from there. Please comment on your suggestions/thoughts/why this will or will not work. As always, thank you for taking the time to read this.

r3pwn
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I like your thinking.

The first order would be to get root and disable OTA updates.

As long as the whitelist exists, a malicious app would be difficult to get past Google's approval. Kind of like how iOS had the "flashlight" app that allowed tethering until Apple shut it down.

It might actually have to be two parts - a functional app that has a vulnerability, and some specific trigger that can utilize the vulnerability. A backdoor into a normal app, or a some kind of specific login that triggers a specific server-side response, for example.

AFAIK, ADB isn't enabled on stock Chromecast.

Another potential attack vector is the setup mechanism on the Chromecast-side - for example if the SSID or keyphrase strings can be overrun, but Google may have already checked that stuff.

Because stock Chromecasts auto-accept OTA updates, I fear it will be a continual cat-and-mouse game of finding exploits and having them auto-patched by Google OTAs. Still, at least it would provide an option for folks who have an updated bootloader.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
The whitelist still exists? I had thought they removed that with the SDK.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
According to this in the developer's guide you still have to allow your Chromecast to send its serial number, register your app which gives you an API key, and register your device so it can receive the app.

Only "published" apps will be available without registering your device, so still sounds like Google is the gatekeeper to publicly-available apps.
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Hmm... I may have to hand over the $5 for the developer fee just to fool around. Or I may find an alternative by the time I can get around to getting a Google play card. Lol.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Not sure about your neighborhood, but the WA/OR Costcos are selling a 3-pack of $20 Google Play cards for $54 (so 10% discount)
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
I don't think I want to spend that much. If I don't find something else by then, I could just go to GameStop in the mall (right across the street from my school) and get a $15 one.
[Google Chromecast] alil2cul4u:
Walmart also sells play cards!
