Do you it would be possible to enhance the theme installer?

It would be great if it gave a list of folders that have themes in them and then you just select the theme you want.

Oh yeah, currently, the backup of bootanimation.zip doesn't work.

The theme installation script, which creates the backup, will create one folder:

/sdcard/OpenRecovery/backup/theme/bootanimation/

And try to backup bootanimation.zip to a non existent folder:

/sdcard/OpenRecovery/backup/bootanimation/

- it doesn't get copied.

The theme restore script looks for bootanimation.zip in a third location, which is:

/sdcard/OpenRecovery/azhad/bootanimation/

The theme restore script won't find a bootanimation.zip there so it wouldn't work.

For now, my workaround is to just put the bootanimation.zip that I want into that third location - /sdcard/OpenRecovery/azhad/bootanimation/

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
New kernel

Ext partition support

Updated to latest CM6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Link pls..heard that latest kernel makes battery last real long
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
CM6 sources have not been updated at all for quite a long time now, as all the dev focus is on CM7 :)

I really hope that the Milestone's AP side modem (gkisystem) proprietary implementation not working under 2.3 will be resolved soon, but there has been no progress in this regard lately...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Ah, my bad! I saw too many RSS entries that has the word upstream in it

Link: https://github.com/nadlabak

Good luck with your devvinggggggggggggg
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
:D It's mostly the gingerbread branch.

cvpcs who joined the CM dev team and took over the Droid1 CM maintainership is doing really great job.

But the Milestone's radio not working under 2.3 is a major issue.

I'd like to ask all Milestone devs to join and look into it.

No kernel signing key cracking success (no matter how improbable that is ;) ) will help if we won't be able to get the proprietary gkisystem running under gingerbread...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] knowthenazz:
Hi zeppelinrox,

Thanks again for all of your generous assistance.

I think my plan right now is to wait for CM 0.07 and see if that clears things up for me. But if it doesn't, I think I might give your suggestion a try. I'll let you know if I do.

BTW, play with SetCPU. I find it very useful in controlling under/overclocking.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] knowthenazz:
Thanks for sharing!

As I mentioned I think I'll wait to see if CM 0.07 clears it up for me... I might get lucky :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Heh, I guess it's all eyes on 2.3 now. I do feel bad for you though, since the Milestone dev count is quite low comparing to the other phones.

About the kernel key - did you see the post that said it'll take the entire life of the universe to brute force the key? :D I had a chuckle there

And one more thing:

build.prop

# dalvik-cache of both system and data/sdcard apps in /cache
# (dexopt-cache-only overrides dexopt-data-only, so use it with care)
[b]dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only=0[/b]
.
.
# By default, the dalvik-cache of apps in /system is stored in /cache,
# of apps in /data and sdcard in /data. When set to 1, dalvik-cache of
# all apps will be stored in /cache.
# Use with caution, a lot of free space in /data and almost full /cache
# is not a good thing...
[b]dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only=0[/b]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
About the CPUstats and governors:

You can check the loaded modules in terminal by "lsmod" command.

You can see the module loading errors by "dmesg" command.

The interactive governor is the default gov in CM4MM from the start and it hasn't changed with the kernel updates through the time.

The current interactive governor module version in use depends on the symsearch module...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I've actually been using CPU Tuner for controlling all that.

Comparing the 2, CPU Tuner seems to be alot more intuitive/easy to figure out.

But I really like SetCPU's geeky Info page, especially the Time In State.

For me, it will probably replace CPUStats since SetCPU delivers even more Info.

I just gotta look into what that "set on boot" stuff is all about...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Oops, a duplicate entry, thanks for the notice, I'll fix that.

The idea of the brute forcing of RSA 1024 is a joke. We are not immortals and no one will have any interest in Milestone after billions of years...

I agree with Skrilax that if something, we should try to find the sha1 collision on the cdt partition checksum (it determines what mtd blocks signs are checked by mbm) using the free to change data in the FF block before the sig in cdt. Though it may not be possible to find the collision at all in the end, the 2^160 challenge is still much less than the cracking of the RSA 1024 would take...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I'm not sure what this is for.

Do I need it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
It's the baseband sw

You need it if you haven't flashed the vivo sbf, or a full nandroid of the latest leaks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
what is latest kernel version? just to be sure kernel updated
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] knowthenazz:
Hi kabaldan,

Thanks for your reply. That was very useful information indeed :)

It turns out that symsearch.ko and overclock.ko are loaded, but none of the cpufreq_stats.ko, cpufreq_interactive.ko, cpufreq_smartass.ko or cpufreq_conservative.ko are loaded.

From looking at the OR overclocking scripts it looks like symsearch.ko and overclock.ko were both replaced during the OR overclocking process. Are these two files easy to restore? Will they be overwritten when I upgrade to CM 0.07 (Assuming I do NOT do a factory wipe before installation?)

Thanks for your time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
When you apply the CM6 update.zip package in OR, the whole system partition is erased and its content replaced by the files from the update.zip (that includes the /system/lib/modules and the /etc/init.d scripts).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] knowthenazz:
Hi kabaldan,

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly.

If that's the case, I'll just wait until in install CM 0.07. Hopefully that'll clear everything up for me.

Thanks again for confirming the info!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bejmuller:
Hi.

I just installed the latest CM, and it's great. Thanks for it :)

I only have 1 question.

Can i install somehow the new Market? If yes, then how, if no, then why? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Orangestrat:
I <3 this ROM, but the camera sucks. It takes forever to load and freezes every 2 or three pictures. If I manage to take a picture or video, they turn out great, but people lose patience holding a pose while I curse at my phone.

I can deal with it, but is it something that can be fixed? Why is it so rough?

I'd just like an explanation, what is the deal?

thanks in advance!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I have them all loaded except smartass.

You can load conservative and interactive via the OR froyo modding menu.

That's what I do.

I already posted as to how I got cpufreq_stats.ko to load :)

The only overclocking method I use is through OR.

I could have added smartass to the scripts that I edited, but I only use "on demand" and conservative via CPU Tuner so I didn't bother.

Hi zeppelinrox,

Thanks for taking so much time to help me out. It's really nice of you.

But, as CM 0.07 was released today, I'll be upgrading in the next day or so I imagine, and hopefully, it'll fix all of my issues. If it doesn't, I'll give your suggestion a try.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Update - CM 0.07 Fixed my SetCPU problem

I just wanted to give an update that upgrading to CM 0.07 has fixed my SetCPU Time In State problem.

As kabaldan stated, upgrading CM overwrote the affected files and I'm now back to a clean state.

Thanks for everyone's help...especially kabaldan & zeppelinrox!

BTW, i removed that package already! Will update new one without ADW!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] manasgirdhar:
just manually link it to the respected folders by the following:-

open terminal:-

ln -s /sd-ext/app /data/app

ln -s /sd-ext/app-private /data/app-private

but first make sure both the folders have been deleted from the data folder in internal memory.

and that both app and app-private folders are present on the ext partition.

thats what i did.

wtf help?

i just installed the newest cm6 0.07 with GOT OR and it buggy!!

after installing cm6 i got all my apps back with titanium backup but my phone likes to reboot alot

also the overclock doesnt work anymore..... and my 3g..

and i thought cm6 was suppose to be fast but its all laggy!,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
And you havent read the 1st topic, havent you? Replace GOT OR with Androidiani OR!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
so i have 2 reinstall cm6 and wipe the whole thing again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
replace GOT OR with Androidiani, reboot to OR, wipe dalvik+cache, flash latest CM (& GAPPS)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
ur sure i can skip the data wipe?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
yes, I am sure:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
i just reinstalled cyanogen with the androidiani 3.3 without wiping data and immeadtly installed memhack (cyanogen), overclocked [1000,750,500,250] and the government thinggiee orsomething and some ads script

but it reboots everytime withtin 5 mins..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
what if you just install cm without overclocking and ad script?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
i just tried that and it wont reboot now

so far it looks stable

btw how do i change the theme? i have a res folder here, where do i put it and how to install?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
As stated on the first post, GOT OR is based on an older OR version. You need something based on the latest version of OR:

Use Androidiani Recovery.

Also, if coming from a different ROM, try a full wipe.

A few problems exist with CM6, but lagginess and reboots are NOT part of that list. It is rock solid and smooth as silk overclocked to 800 for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I just reread you post. If 3G doesnt work for your phone, just changed the baseband to your countries' in Androidiani.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Apologies for the numerous replies to posts already answered. Thats what i get for checking forums before my double espresso...

+1 on the camera issues. I never noticed before (dont use camera much) but yesterday i wanted to snap a quick pick of my daughter and it was slow, unresponsive and ended up force closing.

Overclock issue or CM6 issue?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
For camera issue:

- First picture was taken with no problem! then i switch to recording mode, after 25 secs, the camcoder was hang, then i pressed FC.

- Second time, i tried to open camera/camcoder but always failed! I could not open camera anymore!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
gemini002: I think you missed the real debasser's question - I guess he wanted to know with what ROM you have a good battery life experience.

About the "common knowledge": I tend to disagree, but there are certainly users that experience battery issues using CM6 for MM. And there are others that do not. And the same can be found about any other custom compiled ROM that is currently available for MM.

I certainly would like to found out what triggers it, but so far there has been no clear indication.

About the camera: I don't experience any issues with the camera, I can take as many pictures as I want, I never get FC and the app is perfectly responsive all the time. To be able to find the cause in the case of those who experience it, I would need a logcat that contains the FC. Please post it to the issue tracker. (But please, post only the logcats made on a clean CM6 installation with no themes and no customizations applied to it from OpenRecovery or by other means.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
My instgall is clean in the sense you desribe, but have added a massive amount of apps and customized the overclock. Good enough for your logcat? If you, i will post later. Otherwise, I will need time to do a backup/full wipe/install.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
It would be wise to may a full nandroid backup, wipe everything and start over to see if your problem is a physical issue. I haven't heard of a camera issue since.... I don't know, 2.1 kernel days?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
You are right, I will most likely do this eventually. But at least 3 other ppl are having my exact problem. And when i tried the (latest?) leak, i didnt have this issue. But i dont use my camera often, so i am not sure i would call my tests 'scientific' by any stretch of the imagination.

This is also why i suspected my overclock...maybe i will disable this first and see what happens. I read somewhere that the camera was the most sensitive component to overclocks...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Speaking of clean installs, by the looks of it, it seems that this only features of OR that's worth using are:

1. Nandroid

2. Wipe Dalvik

3. Full Wipe

4. Wipe/Format Cache

5. Apply Update

6. Change Baseband

I don't see any use/effect of using the other OR options. Am I correct? Or are there some tweaks still worth using?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I have used the mass storage device mode and terminal mode. I dont know if these are specifc to Androidiani or if they are OR features.

I personally dont use any of the 'tweaks'. I havent seen the point since froyo based AOSP roms are available.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Crap. I just decided to really run camera tests...and i dont have issues anymore. I will make a point of trying the camera everyday from now on. The camera is one of those features that i dont use often, but is really nice to have working when you need it...

I will keep you posted and send a logcat is it happens again. At least now i know it isnt another app or theme. But overclock could still be the issue (overheating, etc)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
unbelievable! I can see my battery drain from 90% to 80%, 70% and now 60% just in 30 minutes! (After try to test camera app)!

I will update the stock one from ROM!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
I would have to say iceandfire and the infamous cronos are the best for battery life they r based off ur work..example I am on lastest iceandfire phone has been up for over 1 hour few responses on xda few texts one call still @ 100% probably gunna drop to 90% soon ..this rom is fast apart from camera freezing up once and awhile its good but im a heavy user so I need good battery
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I have been switching from CM6 to Cronos back and forth and I have to agre with gemini002.

I have 2 test that I based my evaluation on. First test is the overnight idle when I am sleeping. So far Cronos rom drains 10% every 6 hours when idle (I have APN on, Gtalk on and 2G on). Below is a screenshot of my phone on a day where I didn't use much of it and was left idle for around 12 hours.

The other test that I do is when I commute to work on the public transport. I surf on 3G to 2 of my favourite websites in that 20 minutes of travelling. During that duration, Cronos drains 10% while CM6 drains 30%. Plus CM6 heats up very very fast upon opening just one website.

Don't get me wrong, CM6 is a wonderful ROM. I just wished it had better battery life.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
i know that the next version won't have these issues...i love xda we r a family here:D...don't want to sound ungreatful cause without you the others would not be around but it's time to have one that does not drain so much;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Now you see? THAT'S a very objective and detailed comparison when talking about battery life. Well done :)

I have to agree with the previous comments, this ROM has always been great in the feature side, but the battery life not so well. Previously running on the stock leak from Asia-Pacific and it was great.

Camera issues are just not there in my phone. I just did 5 minutes of continuous picture taking and recording, alternating and as fast as I could and I never got any lag or FC. There are lots of variables we have to take into account to see or repeat these issues but I guess they aren't that easy to measure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I doubt very much that the comparison of battery management is a 100% comparison of apples to apples.

Are all the same apps installed in both ROMS for a truly fair comparison?

Do you apply the same overclock method and vsels on all the roms that you try?

It very well could be that other ROMS are more efficient but maybe the other guys have more time to tweak while kabaldan is doing the heavy lifting.

Having said all that, it does seem that the vsels are on the high side after the initial install of CM. This can explain the higher temperature too.

I didn't look into this until now but look at the vsel levels in CM's 10overclock file:

Here are the vsel levels in OR's 900 mhz script:

That's a big difference.

900mhz - 60 vs 56

700mhz - 49 vs 46

500mhz - 44 vs 36

250mhz - 33 vs 26

Now if the phone is sitting idle alot and hovering at 500mhz or 250mhz most of the time, that's where the biggest difference is.

I've been tweaking the vsel levels at 1100mhz and it's been really smooth for the last couple of days after lowering OR's vsel levels which are found in 71_overclock1100.sh.

1100mhz I dropped from 65 to 64

750 mhz I dropped from 50 to 44

500 mhz I dropped from 40 to 33

250 mhz I dropped from 30 to 22

I had them a little lower (64, 40, 30, 20) but I didn't like the performance and it did freeze up one time - albeit after some considerable stress.

So I'd suggest tweaking the 10overclock file.

It can make a huge difference.

For 900mhz, you can probably lower OR's vsel levels to:

900mhz - 54

700mhz - 42

500mhz - 33

250mhz - 22

It's worth looking into.

The Milestone Overclock thread has some really good info... though they may be a little crazy with super low vsels LOL.
