Download the update (exchange-update.zip)

Copy the update to your SD card.../OpenRecovery/updates/ <---you should be able to see a sample file called test-update-nosign.zip

Boot to recovery

Select "Miscellaneous"

Select "Apply Update"

Select "exchange-update.zip"

Reboot when done :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
you are the man. was trying to run it as an update.zip from the recovery boot menu. thought that only nandroid restores could be done from openrecovery..

thx for the help! cheers
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
xslntx, I flashed your exchange patch but something's not right.

1. The first thing I noticed is a bunch of my apps are duplicated in my launcher app list now. Right now I noticed "Contacts", "CardioTrainer", and "Cardiotrainer Pro" are all listed twice. Both icons seems to work for the apps.

2. There still are no Corporate Calendar and Corporate Directory listed.

3. In accounts under my exchange account it still only shows email as a sync option.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
how can i change the theme? its a little hard to read.. id like something green and black if its possible
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] htinaung:
Hi, how do I change font on this rom. In my previous rom I could just replace the DroidSans.ttf
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
okay, more important than this, how can i get my contacts to appear? i import from my sim card, it says its completed but they dont show up
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heorung:
Can anyone tell me how to manual change DNS setting permanently?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
are you working on something new ? i´m using this one since it came out and i have no plans to change it works perfectly but i´m always available for updates :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GlitchZero:
Absolutely phenomenal work. I loved v2 and used it exclusively, (even over v3 when I finally found that!) but you've really outdone yourself here. The fonts work great, the icons are good, (wish they were all skinned or not skinned though :() the notification bar / window look great, the phone, contacts, everything. Everything is great. I really don't know what else I could want from a ROM.

Well done, man. As soon as I get paid, PayPal coming your way.

EDIT: One small issue I hadn't noticed until just now - is it me or does a) the Contact Shortcut outlines not fit the rest of the theme at all? and b) the picture inside blur like crazy? I have contact shortcuts backed up from stock and V2 (somehow it ported them over each recovery, the only way I can tell is the outline on each picture) and compared to the old ones, any new contact shortcuts I make are super, super blurry. :\
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walterddr:
is this rom working on a singapore version of milestone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Thank you very much for the support!

I'm going to openly admit that I'm no good at theming. I'm hoping to find someone that can contribute something that works for everyone, but until then, I'll either be keeping what it has now, or going back to stock. *most* themes for 2.38 and up work just fine on this version, if you've got something a little more complete.

As far as contact images blurring, I haven't experienced that problem yet. I take it you didn't wipe your device prior to flashing? There are some issues that can arise from using the old files in /data with version 4 or later.

It'll work just fine after you flash the european frequency patch. You can do so via OpenRecovery, by placing the update.zip in the Updates folder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GlitchZero:
Hm, I went straight from v2 to v4.1. It might be I'm using the 3D Gallery.apk, it ****s out the resolution in the picture frame widget too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PsyCl0ne:
Execuse me XS, you wouldnt happen to be working on a new version would you?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lepoo:
Version?

Is this Froyo or Eclair?

Edit: Sorry, missed it the first time. I see it is Eclair. Moderator, feel free to remove this post. I can't seem to find a way to do it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
Update on the Exchange support problem. I did a full reflash from defaults.. started right over.. applied the Exchange patch, and it worked this time. Thanks!

Now, after messing with Cyanogen 6 for the day when I go back to this and get Exchange support i think I'll stick with this version for awhile. It's still the fastest out there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lvcio:
em hello all, xD

Wich SBF should i flash first, so then applys this nandroid backup?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Anything based on 2.36 or greater should work. I'd go with 2.38 or later, just to be safe.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
Does wiping to default factory settings format your SD card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
no - it doesn't touch the sdcard
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
thank you bud
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fyras:
Hey guys, I'm trying to download v4.1

But everytime the file is corrupted.

Used Chrome and IE... and in IE it said that download failed because the connection was reset.

Does anyone know a mirror I can download from?

Thanks

Fyras
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
I strongly feel we should keep quick office in the ROM. It's probably the best document viewer and hasa no other (free) alternative. Iknow there are other ways to get the app back to it'd be better if it was in the ROM to begin with.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hd4n:
I didn't read through the entire thread, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed already.

This rom works fine for about 10-15 minutes, but after that, launcher pro constantly force closes, and then the whole phone starts to crash.

Is there something I need to do before using this rom? I've wiped the phone already. I'm coming from dexter's motofrenzy 0.51.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mystik:
I'm trying this 'ROM' out... I just installed it yesterday and first impressions are good. I don't have a lot of experience with the different ROMs so we'll see how this goes.

regardless, thanks to xslntx for making the ROM. I almost want to reset the theme though... I know you've mentioned how you're looking for a better theme, etc, I understand.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] OverDrive33:
Is there a mirror for this? I can't for the life of me get the download link working.

*EDIT* Nevermind. Used wget in a terminal ... worked fine. Here's a Megaupload version ( megaupload.com/?d=2GOTW4IX ) for people having the same issue as I did.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] botakbotak:
may i ask how do i replace the current launcher pro with a cracked launcher pro plus installer?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
Pay the developer for it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Commander Data:
I want to say this again: pay the developer. It's not that expensive and they guy has put a TON of work into it. Or just use the free version. Your choice.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] botakbotak:
ok thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Why has my post been removed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tdnrad:
Any chance you could somehow include the proximity sensor fixed Motorola put out? Being left handed sucks for this phone, I've had problems with the proximity sensor since I got it. The latest update they put out had a fix that seemed to work a little better.

I'm not sure if this is asking too much or if it is even possible, but I'd love it.

Thanks for the mod. Other than proximity sensor, everything works great.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
I've actually never heard of such a fix. Do you have a link, by chance?

Thats where I read it. Where you can find exactly what they changed I don't really know. Wish I could be of more help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Thanks for clarifying. I lost my entire review, I did speed tests and everything. I guess I'll have to do it again sometime.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
HA!! All I can say is that Google cached sites are amazingly useful at times!

Original ``lost`` post:

Alright, so I finally did the leap and put on a custom ROM and I chose this one. And all in all I like it, except for the notification menu font (when open). The black on dark grey is terrible, too hard to read anything. Also, I don't personally like the invisible unlock bar. But that's just personal preference.

However, that said, everything else is pretty good. I like the grey notification bar and all the notification icons. The percentage over the battery is a very welcome touch.

The main reason for me going for this is speed, and here are my results using linpack and Milestone Overclocker (CPU Benchmark confirmed the results and I ran each test at least twice):

Stock 2.1@550: 3.4 MFLOPS

Stock 2.1@800: 5.2 MFLOPS

Stock 2.1@1200: 9.0 MFLOPS

Telus Lite v4.1 w/JIT (pre-OCed): 13.7 MFLOPS

Stock 2.1 w/JIT@550: 6.4 MFLOPS

Stock 2.1 w/JIT@800: 9.2 MFLOPS

Stock 2.1 w/JIT@1200: 13.3 MFLOPS

So on my Milestone it seems like the Telus Lite v4.1 is a bit faster but for me it's only marginal. I haven't tested out the battery usage yet. And I might do a more thorough test with with SetCPU when I actually get a chance to buy it. I still need to do a test on the Telus Lite v4.1 without JIT enabled.

Also just a side note: I enabled JIT using GOT's OpenRecovery mod.

I would just like to know what everyone else has been getting with stock, stock OCed, JIT, and the Telus Lite v2.1 on the benchmarks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moobe:
Hi there,

Very good rom, fast, and the battery performance compared to other roms I've used is pretty impressive.

Can you please post the wallpaper you are using on your phone?

Thanks a lot

Telus Milestone

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Thanks for the feedback! Here's the wallpaper:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Great rom!

But i was just wondering if i could change the lockscreen swipe to have the slider background again? Some people that try to use my phone get confused when trying to unlock because they keep tapping it lol.

also the theme makes it hard to read some text like the now playing text on the notification bar when playing music
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nagoshi:
I installed Telus Lite 2 days ago. I must say it's awesome, extremely fast and snappy. Excellent work!

Im wondering if anybody is having the same issue as me tho. Last night the battery went down only 10% (It was freshly charged, so I woke up and it was at 90), then during the day it ended up at 40%. This morning y Milestone was off, couldnt power it up just like it was low on power... I plug it, I see the 5% battery charging, wait a while, unplug it, power it up... then plug it back, it tells me it's at 50% and charging?

Is the battery indicator f'ed up, or my battery is f'ed up? On the stock ROM (or whatever Telus Lite is) I did not have this issue, battery went down normally and charged normally.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
xslntx,

After trying out many of the custom nand backups (clair, cyan, frenzy, etc).. I can say that without a doubt yours is the best by far. You have managed to create my dream firmware hahaha

It is exactly what it says: fast and light, and thats is exactly what I want my google experience to be about (cyan is too branded for my taste)

That being said, the only thing I would change is the theme... I know you've mentioned you're looking for someone to build you a delicious theme (I'm not the guy for the job), but in the mean time is there a way to split one of the images and add in my own theme? Or is the only option to use a terminal to modify it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
Hey, Mr. Dev, :) have you had time to work on updated versions of this amazing ROM? Font patch? Just wondering because this ROM is amazing and I am excited to see the direction in which you take it next :).

Braidonh
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
Love the new ROM, and the GPS issued I was having with V3 are completely gone. Very impressed.

Just a quick question, does the cpu always run at 1100mHz, or does it step down to lower clock speeds when there is less stress on it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mslaven:
I just installed this ROM yesterday and couldn't be happier. I've had my Telus milestone since the day they were released and was always a bit miffed at it's performance, but now, it leaves nothing left to be desired.

The only issue I've run across after using it for a short time is the lack of Corporate Calendar even after applying the exchange-update. But at this point, I could truly care less as it's my personal phone and adding my work account was always optional.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
it says on the first post.

only uses 1100mHz when stressed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
Thanks, I did read that on the previous version, but was wondering if anything had changed. I ask because Quadrant always seems to detect it at 1100 mhz in system info.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
This is BY FAR the ABSOLUTE BEST ROM EVER!!!!

Works amazingly with the ResolutionHack from the EclairMod rom.

FAST & AMAZING!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] botakbotak:
Good rom (Y). The battery life is OMFGBBQ (Y)(Y)(Y). But i wonder, why sometime my handcent couldnt recieve msg, such like when my friend send me a msg, i could get the nofication. Is it a fault on the handcent or my handset?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
for some reason i noticed a shorter battery life
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blud7:
In your first post, Brazilian frequencies link is tagged as European. It is the correct link, just tagged wrongly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Tagged incorrectly. Sorry about that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sir_shady:
great rom but i think it should be better if the "phone dial screen" change. it's not better than default dial screen.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
xslntx I have noticed that since I have used Telus Lite 4.1, my telus reception has gotten a bit worse. It gets hot in my pocket because its searching for a signal more than usual and also the battery usage states that Cell standby and phone idle are using an awful amount of battery. Something that didnt happen before. Is this a coincidence or is there a setting I forgot?

Im on telus
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
Must be the 50% without signal bug, if you go to battery usage and check for Cell Standby, if you see it says something like time without signal: 50%, do the following:

-connect to USB

-airplane mode ON

-let it sit for a bit (1 minute)

-airplane mode OFF

If you do the above you should be able to get awesome battery life, I have a telus milestone as well and I get only 10-20% drain when i go to sleep and wake up.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fyras:
If I want to upgrade to Launcherpro plus, can I update it on this rom? or will it screw up the current version?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Yes, you can update it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
any plans for an update xs?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
As of yet, I'm not really sure what else can be done. I haven't received any suggestions as of yet, aside from theme-related ones. There's no way to make everyone happy with a single theme, so I see no point in changing it yet again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
Can we get a font patch?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
Thanks! I live right near the boarder so phone usually lose signal around my place.. I was still get phenomenal battery life, but I did this little fix and now its even better!

xs,

theres no need to change anything (learned how to add themes with g.o.t. lol) I just hope that when the official froyo update is released for Canada, you would be willing to tighten up the user experience much like you did with this one.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elkoos:
Excellent mod, works great with Milestone here in Poland, had a strange issue with first account signing when it won't let me check whats synced, but after reboot it went down smoothly (I wiped my dev earlier). Im thinking on replacing Launcher Pro with ADW version since it's more reliable for me and doesn't go crazy on orientation changes (sometimes :))

Anyway, great work and I am finally happy with speeds I achive on my Milestone :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Does anyone else get an issue where wireless is unable to stop and the only way to get internet back is by a reboot? I'm getting this issue 3 or 4 times a week.I'm on telus?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Just wondering if you could post alternate themes, or themeless version?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Any theme from 2.38 and beyond will work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
V5 looks ridiculously fast. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ken0150:
hi

Hello. i'm trying to download the rom but it says that the archive is corrupt, could someone post a mirror please? i downloaded it 3 times and tried to open it with 7zip and winrar...

thank you so much.

Luca
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
holy crappers... v5 looks retarded fast! I thought with my few edits & overclocks, that v4.1 was hella speedy, but v5 bolts past it. I cant even imagine the newest with my overclocks.

-I'm definitely excited and looking forward to it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vlad.obada:
Does any of you has issues with Youtube playback?

Cuz on my Milestone I get "Sorry, this video cannot bet played - There was a problem while playing" a couple of secs after the video starts.

Also, using TED app to view their videos, I get the same behaviour.

Suggestions?

Other than that, this is the best ROM I`v used so far.

Great job!

LE:

Done some more "testing" and it seems that all video playback is broken, no matter that is youtube app, TED app, video recordings from phone`s camera or just a movie.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
Have a look at my signature ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:
Ok, how do I do that? Sorry, for being so noob on this. I know that it can be a bit annoying to some.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Should this work with 3G on a UK/Euro milestone? I have a German Milestone and was hoping to get 3G working here on Rogers (Montreal). I used your backup and was getting erratic networking behavior.

EDGE worked most of the time, 3G was detected, but not functional for more than a few seconds (if at all...hard to tell at what point it was dropping to EDGE).

Are there hardware difference between Milestones? I thought that flashing it to the Telus backup would simply enable the right frequencies...was that wishful thinking? If not, what else could have gone wrong?

By the way, good job on the theme and the rest of the setup. It was fast and beautiful...but with erratic networking, its sort of hard to make it my main setup.

Caz666
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
I don't think it's possible with OpenRecovery. With adb recovery, you can accomplish it with the --noboot flag. I haven't played around with OpenRecovery all that much, so perhaps there is a method of excluding the boot partition that I'm not aware of.

I do believe there are hardware differences between milestones. I had a UK Milestone when they were first released, hoping to get 3G with Fido, but regardless of what I tried, even with a stock Telus firmware, 3G refused to be recognized.

Have you ever gotten 3G to work on Rogers with your German Milestone? If so, with what firmware?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Nope, which is why I was hoping that you had gotten to work on your UK Milestone on Fido...:)

I only saw the 3G symbol, but it was never really functional.

I also think I tried a lot of variations.I lost track of which firmwares, sbfs and Nandroid backups I tried. Never got anything more than 3G appearing and erratic behavior.

Can I asked what you did to enable NA 3G bands on this European Firmware?

With your backup, I even dropped down to not being able to make call (Emergency Only mode).

So you switched to Telus on got their Milestone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
Hi All,

I flashed this backup on top of a unlocked and rooted Telus 2.1.

I had all my apps and 3g/HSDPA works flawlessly.

In fact I just ran a speedtest.net test and got 3.7/2.3 (mbps) u/d.

Which is great! and the phone is super fast and responsive.

I did notice that I've lost a few things:

1. A-GPS fix for the telus milestone (change supl server from telus to goolge. The phone currently has Motorola server, which doesn't seem to work)

2. Paid apps in market. I Cant see paid apps in market. The phone says loading but nothing show up when you click, top paid apps.

3. I lost flac-native functionality. It was an addon fix anyway.

Battery life is really good. Using it with Set CPU set to 250Mhz idle.

Quadrant scores are around 680-700 range.

Overall Pretty impressive...I might stick with this backup until 2.2 arrives, if it ever arrives.

- D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
any plans to update this to either .38 or TELUS – SHOLS_U2_03.11.0?

Really tempted to root and use this as im getting fed up with my slow GPS lock, lack of internal memory, slow cpu and launcher pro redrawing all the time!!!

Cant wait for 2.2 but this sounds as if its the bridge to keep my milestone in favour!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
installed this it really is lightening fast, really enjoying it so thanks for you hard work! What temperature is the battery able to go to before it runs too hot and could potentially do damage?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
if u root look at my previous posts u will be able to use app2sd and free up nuff memory...also new launcher pro does not break up anymore well atleast with app2sd and overclock apk:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
havent tried apps2sd my free memory is 125mb even with all my apps installed, this used to be like 13mb left with the stock rom! this really is great! Any news on wether this will be updated to the .38 or .11 that GOT has released?
