hmm, just tried the update and I got the error message of "E: could not find the updated binary - update aborted"

This is just a guess, but thats not supposed to happen right??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
To change the "Yearly" string, extract android.policy.jar, and decompile classes.dex.

In com\android\internal\policy\impl, open up GlobalActions.smali, and edit line 463. If you do find the correct value, I'd certainly appreciate it if you'd let me know. :p

Feel free to replace ADW with LauncherPro, there should be no issues. And, there's no need to wipe from 4.1 to 5.

You'll need to extract the contents of the .7z file to /sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery, and perform a nandroid restore.

The newly updated market had some issues on V4.1 and V4.2, but works fine in V5.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
Lol@ changelog :D. I look forward to the possible xsIntx tinkering of 2.2.1 :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
so you just move the file folder to the open recovery root folder and the nandroid backup will know what to look for???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
k, tried it and it said that nandroid.md5 was missing and it couldn't verify the back up...are you supposed to over right an existing back up??

Edit - I tried over writting existing back up data with the telusstone files and I got a .md5 mismatch error.

What am I doing wrong??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
You must use GOT's new OR and select the NEW nandroid and try again

@xslntx:

the market is still FCing from 4.1 upgrade to 5
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
That's strange. I've yet to have it FC once, both with my old data and after a clean wipe. Is there anything specific that causes it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Fortunately everything works here...but I would like to set CPU to 525MHz, but thats easy with setCPU :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
fixed with complete wipe and restore v5. Nice job :)

I see that you are using a new version of the messaging app that claims to be able to change notification LED lights =) unfortunately everytime I try to change it, it FC's =(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
It boots so f'n fast, I can't even look that fast!

@xslntx, do you think this technique is also possible to apply, when FroYo comes out someday?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
I'm unable to start MetaMorph with this ROM...is there anything wrong?

/Edit: Here's the logcat
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Einstein001:
When I'm trying to apply the update I get :

eroor: /sdcard/nandroid/advbrecovery/telus/nandroid.md5 not found, cannot verify backup data.

Did you forget about the file?:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
I presume the new NANDROID is backwards compatible right? Is it just a matter of replacing the update.zip file on the SD card?

BTW, I did a quick search and couldn't find much other then a thread from 2008. What IS the latest version and where can I get the file from?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CommanderThor:
I think 1.42 is latest version of Open Recovery. But there are 2 other recoveries, that are based on 1.42 so basicly the same. One is GOT open recovery google it, another is Androidian open recovery, which has its own thread on this forum. They are both like basic Open recovery with some extra features, so will be just fine using it:

hey! My first post here at xda.

i've been browsing this forum for 4 months now, and i would like to thank you for this. I have not encountered any problems yet. My phone's faster and responds quicker now. :)

I just can't download setcpu and vignette apps from the market. anybody else experiencing this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
switching to launcher pro allows the led notification colour to change.

anyone willing to do a performance test with Quadrant with telus v5?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Is it me or when you go to accounts and settings the phone reboots?

I am on the 2.2.1 SBF though and the new GOT OpenRecovery. I tried the FroyoMod yesterday but went back to Eclair because I know Telus Lite has always been an awesome rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
Just did, i've got 670 points with v5
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kevenz:
I have 628 with the stock telus version... overlclocked to 1ghz.

Why someone on the GOT topic got like 1331 with his milestone?

I'm installing Telus Lite v5 now.... will report soon ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
Those are probably 2.2 Roms or they have at least JIT activated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
Using V5 - Youtube still doesn't work for me, always force closes the player.. not sure if its the sense theme I've applied or what.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Edit]

Youtube works flawlessly now.. not sure what the hiccup was, but it seems to have worked itself out. No bugs to complain about!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kevenz:
I'm on telus lite v5 now but damnit...... I can't even charge or boot my phone anymore..... ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
For those having problems, I dont see the problems you encounter :P

What i did was use GOT v.2.0 OR (but i think 2.01 is out now) and wiped everything then restored. Works perfectly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
I see that issue ALOT with people. they fail to do a FULL system sweep, then install fresh. 90% of people dont want to spend all that time restoring stuff, so they just say eff it and install over what they have.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
So far so good... I think I am liking it :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
Put it into "openrecovery" folder rather than the usual "adbrecovery" folder...

it was backed up with a newer version

I was facing the same issue as you... but now everything is fine :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
With a little tweak...the fast is even faster :D

(No JIT... on V5)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kevenz:
Running a full benchmark on my milestone overlocked at 1ghz with telus lite v5, I also killed everything with advanced task killer before starting.

I only got 718.

How did you manage to get 1441? that twice ! :O
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] A-HWH:
Does app2SD work with this especially the App2sd (symlink edition) from Androidiani OpenRecovery 2.51?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
Some studies (not from me :D) showed that MS's hardware is not exactly fantastic, making read/write to memory card faster than read/write internal memory

By moving /data/data to memory card, optimal results can be obtained easily :D

I managed to squeeze out some 2400 quadrant score with MotoFrenzy quite some times back :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
Haha... beats me! :D

I am using a class 6 8GB card
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
How did you managed to move /data/data to sd?

I'm really interested
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chris_barsoum:
hey i'm currently running 4.1, if apply v5 will i lose my texts and the rest of my data?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
Prepare a ext2 partition on card

Hook up ext2.ko

Move and link :D

Basically it's the same as the app2sd for 2.1, just that I moved /data/data over instead :D

btw 89luca89... loved your V1... but the battery was a little short for my usage :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mtb2104:
Honestly... I am only on V5 for the evening... so it is still too early to tell

I can only determine the battery consumption after at least another day of usual usage :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
well i mean you can upgrade strait to v5... but its not suggested at all.

a FULL wipe should be done & have a FRESH install... so yes you will lose everything.

Just make a FULL nandroid back-up & make sure you root your phone via OpenRecovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fyras:
I can speak for someone who upgraded from 4.1 rather than reinstall. It went fine. No problems to speak of..

It IS recommended to wipe and then recover. But I believe i read on the OP that upgrading from 4.1 was stable.

V5 Rocks btw... getting used to ADW instead of launcher pro... why the switch?

Fyr
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
Figured i would try without wiping to see what would happen.

installing strait from 4.1 to v5 in GOT-OR

error: /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery/TelusLitev5/nandroid.md5 not found. cannot verify backup data

what does that mean?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fyras:
You have to update GOT to the newest version. Go on their website and replace the open recovery and update.zip with the newest version.

That should do the trick.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kevenz:
I installed Telus Lite v5 with Androidiani OpenRecovery 2.51, everything went fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
I installed V5 with GOT OR V2... but I had made sure I didn't have the 2.2.1 GOT sbf.. it was the stock 2.1 update 1 sbf

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lokust745682:
after installing v5 my phone has no service ,

it says : no service (ROGERS) , after i put in the pin code

i really want to use this rom, please help, it's super fast and looks sleek
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dealsaddict:
thanks for fixing the VPN portion of the ROM xslntx!! I can confirm that it does work. Hooray!!! Thumbs up!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beflythis:
is V5 compatible with GOT's 2.2.1 framework?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
simply put: No. Made for eclair, i believe 2.38 or 3.11 if Telus

Maybe xslntx is working on the 2.2.1 ;)

Personally i jumped back from GOT's 2.2.1 b/c the battery life and other issues are still present. I'd rather a fast, long lasting, and stable and RELATIVELY bugless, Rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beflythis:
Antonyfl, thanks for the heads up. One last question then: is Apps2SD easy to install via the GOT menu, or should I consult a guide or walkthrough?

Lokust, I believe it's something to do with the bandwidth signatures within the core files... I had the same issue when I was in Toronto on Rogers running the ROM; my service was intermittent at best. Most of the time it said No Service.

Let me know if you find a fix for this as I'd love to use my phone in toronto when I'm there over xmas.

Cheers,

beflythis
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beflythis:
p.s. the phone dialer screen is absolutely hideous! Thought I saw that this had been fixed in V5. How can this be replaced?

edit: anyone have problems with the marketplace in V5? My downloads say "starting download..." but rarely start, or go extremely slow.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
"-Switched to ADW Launcher" why??

I'm on GOT's 2.2.1 atm, but am also thinking of going back to Eclair and this ROM due to stability and speed...but the above makes me cringe a bit.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kevenz:
Haha I agree too..... V5 looks great in almost every place except the Dial Screen, I think it's quite bad.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
I agree with the above.. why the change to ADW? It doesn't fit the theme of being fast and lite... In fact, I find ADW slow and bulky.

But the phone dialer looks fine IMO... not sure what the big deal is?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Even if you guys don't like ADW, you can always download LauncherPro from the market...?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
True enough. Still not sure I wanna give Flash up yet tho.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
The switch was primarily due to Launcherpro's ridiculous expiration, and nag screens about resizing widgets. It's become an annoyance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
@xslntx

True for those that didnt Buy plus, and for that I sympathize. (or unable to buy Plus)

But plus is very worth it. I recommend it to anyone. (it is only 2.99 lol)

@zninja

Sure flash is great but I have no REAL use for flash... lags, use my limited Canadian data and is a battery hog. Good if at home with wifi, but defeats the purpose since my computer is near me anyways lol (but others will probably disagree with me)

I'd rather stick with TelusLite v5 for now, and see if moto actually delivers a relatively bugless update. (though i HIGHLY doubt it :P )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
I have this annoying bug with the theme fonts... No one else has pointed it out I think so it means I'm the only one with this problem? I think it only shows in the icon labels (thankfully) in the apps list and also in ES file explorer. Is there any way to change the fonts? or another solution?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
Updated to the newest GOT-OR and went strait from 4.1 to v5. Seems to run the same.. no DEFINITE speed gains. But then again, i modded out v4.1 to my liking, so it was much quicker than the stock install.

i dont really see anything different about the market, there was an update i guess, but i dont see it.

i dunno... imma spend some time playing with it, before i make an official review.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
I've got 2 options for you:

1

- Download this file : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/348210/fontsdefault.zip

- Put the unzipped files in an Androidiani's OpenRecovery (J:\OpenRecovery\theme\eclair\fonts)

- Boot in Recovery and select "Eclair Modding Menu" - "Menu Install Theme" - "Install Theme".

- Reboot.

2

Look on my server. You'll find an modified version of V4.1 and V5 with default fonts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
So the only thing I wasn't happy about with V5 before I modded it, was the aggressive OC.

a 35 minute call would kill 30% of my battery, 20 min for 20% and etc.. also I found the phone getting almost too hot to touch after about 25 minutes or so of calls.

I changed the clock speed to 56 (I know I can probably go lower than this, but I'm far too lazy to test) and 800mHz... seems to get the best performance to battery life ratio based on my use.

Excellent work xslntx, you've pretty much set the bar as far as usability and performance go
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Not that i'm rushing you xslntx, but you need to make a TelusStone Froyo version. If you've been able to accomplish this much with 2.1 I would love to see what you come out with if you got your hands on 2.2!

Great work bud!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Just a note: has anyone noticed decreased battery life? My phones been on since 830am and 4:20 oO

Says cell standby and cell idle use up a bit of battery, but strange when it says time without signal is 0 percent.........
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Thans. Already downloaded from your server and installed. I liked the modded fonts but that bug was very annoying...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
I would love to know exactly how you did this? Was it from the GOT OR bash or the terminal emulator? (and where do i find ext2.ko?)

Also, would you potentially run into a problem when the SD card is mounted through USB? Or does the phone just mount the partition assigned to /sdcard ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Meleeeee:
first: thanks for your efforts, thats one great rom and probably the best when it comes to battery life for me.

but ive got a question: when i install the rom on my german milestone and update the european bands, everythings fine but the qwerty/qwertz layout.

but if i want to patch to qwertz layout through open recovery, the keyboards rendered completely useless - the rom wont register the input at all - not even the d-pad, and in the android settings there isnt even a "hardware keyboard" setting shown!

the open recovery qwertz-fix has worked for me in other roms, have you got suggestions for me why it wont with telus lite?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
Awesome release again, just to echo a question that was asked but not answered (I think); is there a way for us to reskin the phone dialer ourselves?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] m82a1:
don't like how this (v5) uses ADW
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Just install launcherpro.. its not a big deal

not everyone has LP Plus so they always got annoying messages to upgrade to plus
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chungtau:
Please anyone can tell me, how can I apply apps2sd to the phone! by OR?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chungtau:
Please HELP for the apps2sd to ext2. This ROM a awesome!

Thanks!:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
after playing with it since last week, going from 4.1 to 5 without a sweep, it seemed ok. But did a manufacturer sweep and fresh installed v5, it runs MUCH quicker. V5 wasnt worth all the hype, but its still good, and by far my favorite rom.

few things:

-Wallpaper scrolling is kinda jittery (elastic or not)

-weird APN values (corrected them myself)

-ADW stutters & freezes at times

-wifi sems better

-boot time is much quicker

-geo-location sucks (i fixed it)

Played with ADW for several hours, and couldnt stand the side-scrolling app tray. So i reinstalled my paid version of LauncherPro.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marac:
Keyboard layout qwerty - qwertz solution

I had the same problem and after pretty much hours I found very simple solution that worked for me.

First of all your phone has to be rooted.

Using Root explorer go to '/system/usr/keylayout/' folder, then tap-hold the 'sholesp2a-keypad.kl' file and when menu opens pick "open with text editor".

In opened file you must change just two characters:

1. First in this line:

key 21 Y WAKE_DROPPED

you must change "Y" to "Z", so the line should look like this:

key 21 Z WAKE_DROPPED

2. And then in this line:

key 44 Z WAKE_DROPPED

you must change "Z" to "Y", so the line should look like this:

key 44 Y WAKE_DROPPED

And that's it!

That works for me. I hope it'll work for you and anyone with that problem!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Hmm I've actually noticed a slowdown from 4.1 to 5. I wiped and fresh installed as well. But I also downgraded from 2.2.1 GOT back to stock eclair 3.11 telus. Don't know if that affected it at all. But I also noticed diminishing battery life. Perhaps its the 2.2.1 kernal still in my stone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Dude, try to type the number 6 in your phone :P I did this also when I flashed V5 and thought that with changing the kl-files the problem should be fixed...as I said already, the number 6 is now mapped to another keychar...^^

Any other solutions for changing to QWERTZ?

Qwertz keyboard layout on Telus v5 on milestone?

Thanks man for your warning and I apologize to everyone I didn't realized this bug on time.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
yeah.. deffinetly noticing several things i dont like with v5.

think im going to re-wipe and go back to 4.1 it was much quicker.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
I allready flashed 4.1 back.... Love this one.:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xryousukex:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Meleeeee:
thanks for your efforts anyway, glad to see someones caring :-)

i guess i will just re-check this thread here until somebody comes up with a solution...thanks a lot again meanwhile!

1ghz 60

*not all phones are built the same!! make sure you do your own testing!!*

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
@sinbsd Great! If it works for you then all is well. Personally i preferred how 4.1 ran and how the battery lasted (whatever mods were done to it).

@jchenny Are you referring to the bug where you simply can't open the new 2.2 froyo market b/c it constantly FC's or do you mean the one where it keeps prompting you to update to the new market where it still FC's? I fail to see how deleting the Market Update and Market would help in making the new Market work. Unless you have tried it of course!

Delete the Market update and cache and it restores it to the stock version...which doesn't crash on our Milestones with V.4.1. This, however must be done repeatedly as the Market update is a hot update and automatically reinstalls itself.

Thanks!

Hey thank you very much man!
