[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestone123:
I am having such trouble with this ROM can someone help me.

i have the:

firmware version 2.1-update1

kernel version 2.6.29-omap1

build number SHOLS_U2_03.11.0

and am with telus

My problem is this. first i put my phone into bootloader mode , thenwhen I run the RSD Lite i flash the vunerable spf and then hold the camera right way to bring me into recovery. when it says 100 percent i update it useing the G.O.T's mod. and rooted it from there.

Is it normal to have to re flash every time i want to go into update and the fact that i have to apply the update everytime.

i then toke the V5 edition of this in its original format(winrar), unzipped, and winrar zip. and put it into openrecovery, nandroid, and the general drive itself. I have tried everything to flash this rom. updating using nandroid partitions, the real nandroids work. then using the miscellaneous duction tried to apply the update from my SD card. I have been doing this in different methods. The one time it worked the closest is when i changed it the a winrar zip then updated like that, but it said i was missing something.(forgot what it was) I have been doing this for 5 hours now can somebody help me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DalSegno:
After you've applied update.zip and gotten into the GOT openrecovery, when you go to "nandroid restore" do you see the "TelusLiteV5" folder?

If you do, restore it, if you don't, it means you've put the TelusLiteV5 folder (from the zip download) in the wrong place. It had to be in /nandroid/adbrecovery for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] colca:
after a couple of days I'm in love with this rom... now I can use my milestone without thinking to recharge it at lunch and is faster than ever!.

But there is a but... I found a little bug with the camera, the flash doesn't work when I take a picture, it makes a very little flash! with the "old" rom it worked fine, what could it be?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestone123:
i did this but now i got an error saying "error:/sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery/telusstoneliteV5/nadroid.mdf not found cannot verify backup data.

where do i find the .mdf

EDIT: 4.1 flashes using this method but V5 doesnt work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
Try using the .mdf from another release of the mod. Otherwise, there are instructions posted in several posts in this thread.

[edit] could have sworn I used an old version and it worked fine.. probably best to follow instructions and make your own though. [/edit]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DalSegno:
I assume you mean nandroid.MD5. Go to the page 69 or 70, you'll see I just posted the solution to that a few days ago. you have to create new md5 files using an md5checksum program.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
That's what I did as well....no problems that I know of.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bengsa:
Could we get a similar rom in android 2.2?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nekisia:
This is a very good idea.2.2 is more powerfull than 2.1.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
Im having internet connectivity issues with this ROM. My internet connection in intermittent after flashing this ROM. Is there a solution to this ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
Did you flash an updated baseband.zip for your provider?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
If you use Androidiani OR you can flash a preinstalled baseband file from there
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
how do i cahnge the colour of the top bar where the battery is
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Simply apply one of the many available themes for Eclair.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
sick rom lovin it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
An updated baseband.zip for my provider ? Where do I find that ? My internet works, its just not stable. Extremely intermittent. Calls and msgs are fine. That makes me believe that I have the right baseband files. Am I missing summin here ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
how do i stop my home screen from rotating
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
Maybe you're holding the phone wrong... lol

Seriously though, TheSSJ already answered this, but to reitterate "If you use Androidiani OR you can flash a preinstalled baseband file from there"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] colca:
I'd like to use the font in this mod for a little project I have in mind, could you upload it or tell me his name? thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:

It's the "EVO manup456" fonts link.

How to fix camera flash sync and how to replace YEARLY/ANNUALMENTE string in POWER MENU with REBOOT/RIAVVIA?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
Best rom av had so far tested all other roms did not like them this rom is the best hope to see 2.2 rom from ya keep up the good work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] imzkng:
From Open Recovery, clear your caches, then apply the attached CameraMoto_Update.zip. Should solve the problem.

I have also attached an Open Recovery Update to add Corporate Calendar, since I have seen requests for this before in the thread.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aiuspaktyn:
Camera fix working 100% thanks

If you can replace correct reboot label than it'll be the perfect rom!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] imzkng:
Not sure if I can help with that, but I may look into it if I get a chance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mystik:
I think the rom is perfect as-is. the OP posted instructions on where to go and what to decompile if you really care that much about a label... from his instructions, it does not look like an easy task.

good luck.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I have forgotten how fast and smooth Motorola Milestone can work. I am sorry Froyo/Gingerbread/etc, but this is indeed the fastest ROM on Milestone. Ever!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
hi there am rinning froyomod 2.5.0 how is telus rom the fastest and in what way i might flash it thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
flash back to 2.1 (vulnerable)

apply telusV5 from nandroid

???

profit!

[edit] its fast and light... speed stepping is built in, you can change the clocks and vsel if you want though. Battery life is godly, I managed 4 days of casual use from this firmware. [/edit]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
ive noticed an issue wen i plug in the phone to pc my apn turns on ? also what settings have i got ur phone at and is this rom alredy overclocked and at what speed thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Flash and you'll see. Reason is simple though. Eclair is not nearly a memory demanding as Froyo or Gingerbread (worse) are. Things run fast, but it remains Eclair. If you can leave with what Eclair provides, this is the rom you want.

I doubt Motorola can do any magic with Froyo to make it run as fast or as smoot as Eclair on 256MB RAM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
My battery is draining I charged it last night wen on the net for a bit and now its on 50% help
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
check battery usage, you might have the standby bug...

Simple fix.

enable airplane mode

plug in phone to computer

disable and re-enable airplane mode

disable airplane mode

unplug from computer

reboot phone if you want to.

Cell standby shouldn't eat up all your battery anymore.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
After seeing so many 'snake-oil' stories, I can't help myself on asking: What's the explanation to all these steps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
I tried it a few times but I had no luck with it. My phone would re-boot a few times before being able to even use the keyboard and was also having a lot of random reboots.

I agree though it was the fastest rom ever.

Does it have to be installed over 2.1? I mean, I use Cronos right now and if I want to use this one, I need to go back to the Telus .SBF then apply Telus Lite over?

The 1st post didn't mention that, it would be worth adding this as a sine-qua-non requirement.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thenotdone:
1. Plug in phone charger

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone

Thats the actual order of steps... I was going from memory, but this is the procedure.

The "backbone" of telus lite, is 2.1... so coming from a 2.2.1 based rom, you would need to reflash your phone using rsd with the appropriate .sbf (2.1)

Then apply the nandroid backup, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then boot up.

As for the random reboots.. chances are your voltages are too low to sustain the cpu frequency. OR your install might be corrupt.

Try downloading V5 again, and installing via the above method.

If that doesn't work, use root explorer and go into the overclock boot script (described earlier in this thread) and gradually increase the voltages to the point where you no longer get random reboots.

If you get to some high voltages while you're still rebooting all the time, revert to an old (working) version of telus lite.. perhaps V4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] herenchuang:
so excited!!!but can't download the file!help~
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
Hmm, can someone using this tell me what the vsels are for the overclock?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
Anyone solved the problem with 5.1 rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] herenchuang:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cool bean:
Does this rom have suggestive/predictive texting?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] klhk:
入唔到即係點?

Flash 唔到?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] amletinka:
+1 same here
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
we still waiting for a reply on ya new rom why is it getting stuck
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kryele:
I'm stuck at green android too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Getting stuck on the "Touch the Android" part is a common issue in ROM flashing. Has everyone tried doing a full wipe and rebooting again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] amletinka:
sure, i wiped everything. no juice:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kryele:
Sure I've wiped everything and I've reebooted, but no way.

Then I've wiped, reinstall and rewiped but nothing to do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
I flash oryginal motorola FW next wipe, restore telus 5.1 and the same - stuck on green android.

Update :

I restore telus v5 setup account, then without wipe data restore v5.1 but every app do force close.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zamana:
Is it possible to use this rom WITHOUT the theme that came with it? I mean, with the stock/original theme of 2.1?

Thanks.

V5.1 Android "Touch to Start" not working

Hi,

I just downloaded and tried to nandroid my Milestone with Telus Lite v5.1, I wiped all data cache etc. everything.

After flash and reboot, when android icon comes and waits to touch to start, android icon is not working. I touch but not passing to second page.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
Sorry about the setup page glitch. I forgot to test it after a complete wipe. It's fixed, and is being uploaded.

Edit: Uploaded. Feedback is welcome. I'm hoping to make some more progress on this, as I don't think it's quite dead yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
am already on v5 is it better to wipe or shall i just flash over v5
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] herenchuang:
thanks！hope you can add the 4-way reboot,normal-hot reboot-recovery-boothloader
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daduy:
As a lot of people already asked, if someone could post a guide for apps2ext, i will be most grateful :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Most certainly not dead! For quite a while I thought you've abandoned this project!

However, I wonder if you are willing to provide alternative version with stock task/bar and fonts (maybe as an update?) I know you like it the way you have it now, but I am sure many people will appreciate if they can see the stock look.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] herenchuang:
i can't agree more! Froyo is not for milestone! its 256 ram is **** **** ****!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lhttan:
How can I use adhoc wifi in this rom ? I 've heard somewhere that adhoc wifi can be used in Eclair 2.1 , is that right ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zamana:
Sorry if I'm repetitive, but how can one change the theme of this ROM?

Thanks.

Regards.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
am stuck on the old market
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xslntx:
To change the theme, simply swap the framework-res.apk and all the font files with those from either a 2.36 or 3.11 ROM.

The market should update itself after a short time of use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lhttan:
Are you wipe all :| This rom so good with me , everything is ok :D . Now i 'm testing battery life of this rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tobik86:
how apply this rom?? OR not see *.7z file
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lhttan:
unzip and put it in Nandroid/openrecovery of your sd card . And restore it in openrecovery .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] devwithzachary:
I to would love this rom with the stock theme, I might play around with it and to it myself but it would be great if you made up just a small update file or a full version of the ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Thanks xslntx! Can we safely update from 5.0 to 5.2 without data wipe?

Personally - my favorite was the Droid X/2 theme you had before 5 (was it in 4 or 3 - can't remember).

I guess we lose the battery percentage in status bar if we revert to stock - right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
How to change frequency/vsel table ? I dont see /system/bin/boot_script, and overclocking in androiniani or doesnt work (phone stuck on M logo). Any sugestion?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
so - for anyone interested, to get stock feel of the rom, you need to replace:

/system/app/Contacts.apk (for stock looking dialer)

/system/framework/framework-res.apk (for stock notification bar/etc)

/system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf (for stock fonts - see two extra below)

/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

Personally I used the framework-res.apk from TelusLiteV3 (the Droid2 like theme), which I am attaching since xslntx removed download links for the now obsolete V3.

I'm not quite familiar with android building tools, but I think somebody who is familiar and has some free time, could create an update.zip to be installed from OR to update the files in question and save the hassle of copying files and adjusting permissions manually.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
there is /system/bin/boot_script (it is a folder) 10_overclock.sh is the file for the overclock..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
I`m blind, it really is there. I`m searching for this with root explorer (search function), and it found nothing. Anyway, thanks for very fast help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukas77:
Anyone have problem to download apps from Market? I don't know is Market problem or ROM, I wiped all, unistalled Market updates and I also tried over GSM and WIFI and I can't download anything from Market :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
In my case market works normally. I have problem with sms/mms app- always FC when i tried to run it. When system starts it also do FC. I restore backup to clean motorola flash (flashed a while before restore nandroid)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
Does anyone know how to get app2ext working? I tried using the app2sd from androidiani openrecovery 3.3, but it didn't do anything.

TelusLite V5.x Themes

Here are some themes I have put together for this rom, collected from others work, and some of my own modifications. They all include an updated Camera apk, OI Filemanager, and Corporate Calendar. The Gingerbread theme uses ADW with ginger icons. The sense theme includes Launcher Pro, and I suggest looking here for theming it for sense http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757612 The original theme is just that, stock Eclair.

Wipe caches and install from Open Recovery Updates

Stock Theme

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
So I went back to the original Telus 2.1 sbf.

All was ok. Rebooted the phone in OR and deleted all 3 caches.

Then restored form the nandroid backup of TelusLite v5.2

The phone reboots randomly, sometimes I can get at the green android but it crashes shortly after.

You were speaking about changing voltages... how can I edit that file if it's not at all stable?

and restored
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
For change voltage/frequency without booting phone just run Androiniani openrecovery then go to option "Console" and voila you have access to files.

(simple copy files from /system/bin/boot_script to /sdcard, mount as storage , modify on PC and replace it in boot_script)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Great, thanks for the answer.

Is there a guide how to do this? Sounds so easy but I don't know how.

I see so many people complaining about the same thing.

Can we have a rom with the overclocking disabled and make it as an option?

Many other people would appreciate something like this, I'm sure.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
http://ss64.com/bash/ read for cd (change dir) , cp (copy) , rm (remove) commands.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
so if I remove this file the overclocking is gone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Yes - if you delete this file phone will run at stock speeds.

You can do

chmod 644 10_ovecklock.sh

from the command line in open recovery and this will disable the script without deletion (so you can further edit/experiment with it

To reenable the script -

chmod 755 10_overclock.sh

I had the same problem with navigation. I used root explorer to delete the maps app then downloaded it again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hwonggc:
gosh~~ u need to at least put some application to be able to browse sd card. I got no internet access without my root explorer and it's in my sd card. Nice rom though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:

Cheers mxzas - I have root explorer but how do i uninstall maps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
Just browse to the /system/apps folder and delete the apk file for maps.

My GPS is taking forever to lock. Definitely not 3 seconds.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Have you checked the location.cfg file and ensure it exists and points to the supl google servers?. You may also need to update the internet account it is using because in this rom the location.cfg file is set to cingular wap settings! You would want this to be your APN settings in my instance that is internet.fido.ca
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] larman:
Changed the supl servers and perfect now.

Even thought in location.cfg it said cingular WAP, my APN setting (in network setting) were already perfect under internet.com (Rogers).

Thanks again.

Any feedback on the battery life of version 2? Its day 1 of using v2 and i have noted a significant reduction in battery life Ive had 1m35 of calls and just done a very small amount of surfing and my battery is due to run out in an hour or so thus meaning about 10 hours of day usage with hardly any real usage! I would normally get around 15 hours with heavy usage?

Anyone else having similar experiences with v2?

PS i know only 1 day of testing clearly isnt long enough to get a benchamrk, Im at home so wonder if my reception is not as good so the phone is fighting more for a signal?? I am in the office tomorrow so will test from there too!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
One thing I have noticed is the 50% time without signal bug, which has not yet been fixed on the firmware, go to your battery status, and check Cell Standby, see if it's showing 50% time without signal, and if you are travelling a lot try disabling 3G since it would keep trying to establish new 3g network each time you change a tower, if you have the 50% thing just do the following:

connect USB cable

put phone to airplane mode

press the lock button to let your phone go into locked mode, leave it for 1 minute

unlock phone, disable airplane mode

Doing the 2 steps mentioned above has significantly increased my battery life, i get around 20 hours with normal usage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Armani G:
I just noticed that the navigation portion of google maps isn't on the backup... So google maps wont load the navigation side only able to view the maps portion....

Hi guys. A Milestone newb on Telus here who managed to root his device, but can't seem to figure out how to load custom ROMs. ROM Manager Premium wants to find *.zip files, and this one's *.7z and the thread calls for the user to extract it onto the SD card. I must be doing something wrong because the manager app doesn't find the images. Help please? tyvm
