Hey!

1- Kabaldan is Awesome (just a reminder)

2- I just flashed the latest build. I just got the new 2.3 keyboard. I chose "Arabic" as an input language, and it shows on the spacebar that it switched to Arabic, but the letters remain Latin. And they type Latin of course. The only difference is that some numbers disappear from the top row of letters as secondary characters, and they return when you return to English-UK.

Any tips? (And yes, I did check that I chose Arabic as an input language)

And the orientation of Arabic letters is still messy, as in most Android Builds. But I heard they fixed it in Gingerbread.

Stupid question, but does CM 6.1.1 work for the Telus Milestone (A853)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Indeed it's a silly question: yes, it works just as well as it does on other Milestones :) Make sure you flash the Telus baseband files.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Exostenza:
Nevermind I screwed up, lol.

Thanks for the great work!

I was once able to create a user-defined line of text on the lockscreen just below the date and time. Now I want to change that line but forget where to go. Can someone help me with that? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:
Nope didn't help. But i had the same problem with cronos. What can be wrong.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
Is the rotary lockscreen possible for the Milestone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
just enable gesture unlock and draw a circle.

my unlock screen is a very specific smiley face. when im in the pub people actually argue over who gets the next shot at trying to get it right.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Yup. Just go to Input settings in CM settings and you should see the option to change lockscreen type. I use rotary myself since it reminds me of the Android 2.0 days :)

Back on stock now wifi works as normal. Sad but dosen't look like my phone works with 2.2.1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystroller:
Hi..

Do I need to full wipe before update to 6.1.1 from 6.1.0?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi mystroller,

Just Wipe Dalvik and Wipe Cache. Don't Wipe Data/Factory Reset.

I updated today to latest CM6.1.1 with these Wipes, everything went fine.

No need to lose your Data/Apps.

;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystroller:
Thhhxx Babis_ECE...

as you say, its very annoying to backup and restore everything........

Im going to update right now xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jason600:
Using previous versions of CM6, I had real problems with the battery not charging fully. I tried deleting batterystats.bin (this has to be deleted in OpenRecovery, if you use RootExplorer, a new file will be created with the same data in it!), but that didn't work well, I presumed my battery was dying.

When I installed the latest version of CM6 yesterday, I wiped the data (previous times I didn't), and that has made a BIG difference. After a full charge, Android reported battery charge at 4200mv, I turned off, pulled the battery and checked the voltage with a multi-meter, it read 4.19 volts. Just to double check, I booted without the battery, when I had the battery logo with a question mark, I inserted the battery. It went to 100% in less than a minute (previous attempts at this usually took an hour to go to 100%).

It seems clear to me that batterystats.bin is not the calibration file for the battery, some other file is, and until that is found, deleting batterystats.bin seems to do next to nothing.

If your having battery problems, backup your apps with Titanium Backup, wipe your data, then restore your apps, it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fernandotakai:
Good to know (since i'm having problems with my battery as well) – going to try this today.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Ok, things are way too out of hand for me now. I cannot install or update anything now! Not even my own apps. I usually get "package file is invalid" or just sits for a while when it says "installing" then just outright reboots.

I'm going to do what the poster above did, Titanium Backup, then wipe everything, reapply the latest update then restore from Titanium. Hopefully it works, otherwise I'm going to scream, or cry, which ever consoles me more.

How do you keep your settings (data, 2g/3g, etc) to get this battery consumption? I just want to know to compare with mine. I don't get this longevity with my usage, but we must have different settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mav3tan:
I'm still using the 0.04-10.12.04 build for I'm also having problems with the battery. CPU just won't sleep with the later builds even after I restart my phone, plus I'm having random reboot issues too lately. I think I gotta try wiping data and reflash the rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
seems like ur battery was brand new lol

can u give us a tutorial how to keep the battery goes strong? mine just bout 28 hours then need to be charged.

btw, i think this 22.12 build has a great camera result. i totaly satisfied with the picture quality. good job..

*sorry for my bad english.. :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:
ok, so in other words wifi will be working bad until a real kernel is relesed. I mean, changing stuff in the roter is not a real solution. I don't even have admin rights on all the routers I use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
smartass governor ? i using samrtass governor but i never use the 700mhz
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
about the battery:

Now, 34 hours since unplug, the battery is at 60%.

I suppose it's quite simple.

I haven't been using the phone that much yesterday (as I had other things to do ;) ) - just a few sms and emails, several apps updated from market, few calls, short internet browsing.

I've been at home all the time, in an area with strong signal coverage, so the phone was connected to one BTS all the time - no BTS switching taking place, so not much battery draining by the baseband processor. Connected to wifi all the time (wifi at the default policy - off when the screen is off).

Toggle 2g/3g set to disable 3g when screen is off as usual. Display dim level set to 2, the automatic display brightness table slightly customized, as usual.

Interactive governor (as I haven't bothered to switch it to smartass after the last update yet ;) ).

So - no magic. But it's quite obvious that the system itself is not draining the battery. The most severe part is supposedly the baseband processor, which is sadly a thing that only Motorola can optimize.

Anyway, it's time to start the real work on the gingerbread build. It will surely take some time and some serious coding efforts to get it running with 2.2 driver libs, 2.2 proprietary daemons and 2.6.32 kernel on Milestone.

There are many CM developers working on it, several solutions proposed already. We will benefit from Droid (sholes) similarity (though the libsensor issues are not resolved yet). Let's see how hard the Milestone specifics (the gkisystem etc.) will be to crack.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
My friend kabaldan, your ROM is just awesome..!

I personally see ~2 days autonomy with normal battery usage, which I believe is exceptional, for a 3.7" screen.

I am really looking forward to your 2.3 Gingerbread ROM for our Milestone. Hope we'll see until February-March..!

Keep up the good work.

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divine3155:
i must say this cm6 is kinda good for a start but most ROM seem to have an effect with GPS.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
I had the same issue this morning on Telus with this ROM. I updated using the zip file linked and got cell service working, but no matter what I do I can't get data working at all. Then I tried to apply the hotfix from post #1 and reset the APN to default which also didn't work.

I can use the shell at home but not at work, so I guess I'm either screwed until I get home, or somebody has a great solution to this issue. ;)

EDIT: I manually added the APN and now data works...duh. ;)

Tell me what's the kernel?? Is it that from motorola rom??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Kernel is signed, from 2.1 firmware. That's why I call it bastardized 2.2 - 2.2 on 2.1 kernel.

how i can restore this system? i have error when i try...

I'm using openrecovery 1.37 ,menu nandroid-Restore...

error is: "E:Failed to find the cheksum file."
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
Ok, got mostly everything working, but not many of my paid apps can be added as widgets now, I.e.: Beautiful Widgets

Suggestions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
In openrecovery 1.37 you have to use the folder /sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery , not /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
....is only me or theres no nandroid.md5 without it when i try to restore this nandroid it fails.

nvm i made the md5 and i attach here.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
hemm, kabaldan, in 0.01c you forgot to run /etc/init.d scripts at boot?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Certainly not:

init.rc: exec /system/bin/sysinit
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
Oh haha...I just setup 0.01b and 0.01c comes out. I have amazing luck. ;)

Can we simply flash over 0.01b with the new system.img file for 0.01c without a wipe?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
0.01b>0.01c no need for wipe, but I recommend to delete cache and dalvik-cache.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
Will do. Downloading now. Thank you. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k_myk:
I can't wait to try version "c", but I think I don't really understand how can I restore only system.img? nandroid gives me errors about md5sum mismatch and that boot.img and bpsw.img verification FAILED. Can somebody explain this process?

Thanks in advance:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jufacamarasa:
thanks problem resolvet
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vagelisda:
Everything still works like a charm for me,battery life is pretty decent and the phone is fast as hell.

The only problem that occurs in every cm rom,is that in some wifi-routers the signal indication is always showing zero bars.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
Thanks for posting this, can I just grab the vending.apk from this zip file?? I don't want to mess with my other apps unless it's necessary
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
It's been 5 hours since I unplugged my phone at it's at 60%. I'm starting to get the feeling that it's one of two problems:

1. I have a defective battery.

2. The Telus baseband is what's causing all the issues.

Other than that I have no idea what it could be, all my settings are similar to yours expect that I don't use the Toggle 2G/3G program, cause whenever I switch to 2G I have no data, could be that I haven't tried the right 2G network setting.

Also, I've managed to fix my "package file is invalid" issues. I tried re-installing everything from scratch but I had the same issue. So I restored a backup I made and on a whim I uninstalled Facebook updates and that seemed to do the trick, after that everything installed/updated fine so long as I did them one by one and not by "update all". Go figure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] angel of other:
alas no, i tried that & it failed to install but feel free to give it a shot; the only other thing it changed was my gmail app; it become dark themed, not so bad but a little odd.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
I have only one "issue" is the launcher pro, they reload every time i exit an app, i have try all the memory options but no success.

and the ROM is great.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vagelisda:
Yeah,how did i forget to mention that?

Thats the most important issue i think,7 out of 10 times,launcher pro reloads and 1 out of ten never loads,really REALLY annoying...

Its a nearly perfect rom,but this messes everything,i tried tons ofv different adjustments and nothing.

Hope to see it get fixxed some day

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Tricks like toggle 2g or wisync plus are useful to know, and to use, but are useless when we have to compare eclair with froyo.

When we have to compare the two rom generations we have to compare apple with apple.

The comparison should be done with the push mail enabled and with the 3g always on. And in this condition froyo will drain the battery in about half the time of eclair (2.38 ) in the same conditions. Period.

And this is clearly due to the wrong charging thresold/measurement.

When froyo stops charging the battery is charged only @60%, an the charging time is the proof.

So the only way to get a decent lasting time, with the actual froyo roms, is the battery pull trick, until someone will find a way to overcome the problem or until we have a newer and bugfree kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
I'm not so convinced that the battery pull really does anything. Even with that I still get down to about 50% by about 5pm. That also could just be another indication that my battery is in fact defective.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Atreiu:
I'm using launcher pro too but i don't have this issue, try delete adw launcher and put launcher pro in system/app.

Not sure it work but is the only thing i do after installing the rom...Let me know if it solve something
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
The battery trick is clearly charging the battery, but keep in mind that there is also the intermittent usb problem.

So, do the battery trick then reboot the phone to ensure that your phone can sleep.

BTW its very simple to check your battery, just reflash with eclair 2.38 and see what happen.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] petyo.tsanov:
What is BTS ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Ya I've been thinking of doing that. If I reflash eclair will I then be able to do a straight up nandroid restore, or should I just restore everything through Titanium?

On that note, can anyone tell me what is contained within an sbf file that's different from the updates we apply? This is something I've been meaning to ask for a while now.

Edit: Should I flash the official Motorola eclair rom or the vulnerable one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Thx man it works now. no more reloads.:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
Not working on me. Market just FC.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] drleospaceman:
Anyone? Do you need to root first before using Open Recovery to flash CM6? Thanks :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Atreiu:
Don't think so
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] angel of other:
boo; well try clearing the dalvik & cache partitions, then running the 3 updates
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Same problem here with launcher pro...

And the battery drains still too fast, can't make it 1 day.

I lost 30% in 2h, without calls, played a game for 15min and did some chat... read some news....

Did a reboot after charging.

And I don't know what the smartass gouvernour is?

I chose 1000/750/500/250 in recovery,

Does this cause battery drain?

How do I use smartass?

Also chose intermit, don't know the difference between them.

I have setcpu, but i don't use it and it doesn't start on boot.

Hey!

The Milstone sold with extra button in the keyboard that allows to switch between language English / Hebrew.

If I press the button while writing a message, it startles me the menu .. (in fact he does not recognize use of the button). Please set the button.

Thanks!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
You can follow both ways.

If you want to try eclair for a couple of days, just do a full nandroid backup of froyo, flash a full eclair 2.38 nandroid backup like the stable V3 by Iaio.

You can also use rsdlite, then flash the official sbf, but in this case you have also to flash the vulnerable recovery.

To go back to froyo just restore your nandroid backup.

P.S. Keep in mind that some weeks of froyo use (and a lot of charging cycles 0-60%) can lead on a teporarily reduced battery life, so use eclair (or froyo with the battery pull trick on every charging cycle) for 2 o 3 days before jumping to any conclusion.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Base Transceiver Station aka cellular site. What he meant is that he wasn't moving around, so no handovers were taking place which uses phone processing and thus drain more battery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
No need to root, but you'll have to install the vulnerable recovery sbf to run OpenRecovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Aka GSM cellular site.

In the UMTS world the correct term is Node_B.

Hi all,

I have couple of questions about the last verion of this ROM:

1st- I have an issue with the WI_Fi, I'm not able to connect to my Home Network, I see it, I can add the WEB key but not connecting. I tried to swipe between 11,13,14 chanels but nothing. Any suggestions?

2nd-would be possible to have the gingerbread theme on this ROM?

Thanks to all!

cos i already selected in setting like u told.

but when i'm using stock rom, it runs smooth, theres no problem with it. but sadly that was eclair :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] drleospaceman:
How do you do that? Just use RSD lite with the sbf file? Where can I download the file? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Yes, you flash with RSD. Check the sticky thread "Root + Nandroid ..." as it has the guide and files in the first post.

Just wiped everything on the phone and re-flashed with the latest CM 6 10.12.22 update.

Applied Memhack, pixel density set to 220, OC set to 900/700/500/250 and used aggressive governor.

First impresion:

* ADW Launcher is slow even from the beginning. Scrolling trough apps is choppier and if I activate a Live Wallpaper it`s near unusable. Launcher Pro runs smoother, but still unusable with Live Wallpapers. (I know this was not a issue on CM 2.1 version)

* Overall "performance" of the phone decrease with the usage. After couple of hours a reboot is need in order for the phone to feel "snappy" again.

* Gallery / Camera apps are is FC-ing on me every 4 out of 5 times. Very frustrating.

* After uninstalling a app, I`m stuck with "Loading Screen" in Manage Applications section. I have to close everything and re-open in order to be able to unistall another app.

* After the latest update (10.12.22) I see HUUUUGE battery drain. And by that I mean I have to recharge my stone at least twice a day. So far, best battery time I`ve seen on CM6 2.2 was on the previous update. (yeah, I know, Motorola scrued up (again) with this one)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fernandotakai:
My main problem now is that my battery sensor is completely crazy. After some hours, it shows that I spent 30% of battery... but after a reboot, it goes back to 90%.

If I take a look at the battery voltage, it's something like 3900~3850.

Even if I delete batterystats.bin (or even try to keep empty the battery and recharge it again), it stays like that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
Has a new build been leaked from Motorola? I noticed the proprietary files updated in the repo and hopefully the new kernel file will help a lot. I can't wait to try it, but it is taking its time compiling.
