1- FACEBOOK and 2- LANGUAGE PROBLEM

Okay! Got the CM6 up and running. Once I broke through the 0x700f error I was able to flash the whole thing seamlessly, thanks to your instructions, particularly Kabaldan (of course), LEOBG and DARKFLIPSIDE :) THANK YOU.

I am using the phone in the Middle-East and I require a lot of Arabic/Farsi reading for my work. I noticed of course that the browser displayed disconnected letters, so does the email. I managed to somehow plug the matter in SMSing and partially in the facebook and twitter apps, but alignment remains wrong and the browser and google apps remain disconnected. I am about to try flashing a file that supposedly will keep alignment reversed yet fix the rest of the problem. Will update you in case anyone is interested.

DOES ANYONE KNOW in general a good fix for reading Arabic/Farsi letters in the browser/gmail/email/etc...?

QUESTION #2: stock Eclair used to display FACEBOOK statuses in the CONTACT page of each contact, if synced to facebook. That is not a feature of CM?

UPDATE 1: Arabic letters file did not flash. Not properly signed. Did cache and dalvik wipe before flashing it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I'm noticing a little flickering on screen brightness when in auto mode. I don't remember if I saw an option around the settings or if I read something on this forum about this. Since I couldn't find in both, I'm asking again: does anyone if it's possible to fine tune any settimgs to avoid flickering?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
You're not the only one. I burned through a battery in an eight hour work shift today....which has never happened before.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] p0les:
Sync is always ON for me.

Here are the things I don't use;

- Wifi

- 3G

Everything else, is on, including GPS and location.

My current use right now is 1 day and 16 hours with 40% remaining.

hei...

GingerBread is official now...

Cyanogen Team... are you guys going to make gingerbread can be apply to milestone???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
GingerBread is official, but the source code is not public yet
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Not with 256 MB RAM I am afraid... but we never know. They were saying the same about G1 and froyo too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
well... i hope miley can use ginger... android team says that ginder is not need heavy spec...

Hi guys, a stupid question:

I installed the gingerbread keyboard but it looks wrong (small buttons). Is there a way to purge it without wipe the entire rom ?

Thank's
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Try reapplying the rom, but don't wipe data (just dalvik and cache).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Homer314:
i'll try, thank's

How about usage? I just took my phone from the charger, 15min running, 12min screen on and I'm already at 90%. Is it normal to drop 10% this fast?

I checked twitter and this forum only...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Well 3G off I can see why you get plenty of battery. But at the same time I ask do we need to baby our phones and sacrifice that much that 3G can't be on? 3G gives better voice calls, faster data. Sure I could turn it off, but turn it on before I surf, but how do I know when I'll get a clal?

Also, what do you sync? Syncing Gmail is one thing. Doing polls of Facebook/Twitter every once in a while is tasking too. I have those on 1 hr intervals.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeph:
In my case, I only sync twitter & FaceBook one a while, with 3G on, no WIFI, no GPS. I've lost 50% in 6 hours...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] p0les:
I have to admit. My phone usage for browsing and games have dropped to 0-10% as I use my tab for such tasks now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] p0les:
My phone call quality is actually better on 2G. With 3G, I get the occasional dropped calls, nothing of that sort when on 2G. Must be the lousy network I am on.

I only sync google services as those are the only services I use regularly.

Update:

So far, with at least 10+ sms; over 40 calls; frequent GPS and market update use; etc; edited mp3 ringtones; some winamp shoutcast

my battery is down to 30% after exactly 48 hours.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The commit that broke it was already reverted. It will be fixed in the next build to be released.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
The battery life is a funny thing, especially the first 10%.

For me, it drops to 90% during first 20 minutes after unplugging. But then it is okay, 70% after 7,5 hours of usage.

Any idea on that rapid drop?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
Yeah I get this as well. Although I am using the BP7X battery instead of the BP6X, so not necessarily a battery issue...

Very important question to everyone getting great (almost magical) battery life. Did you install/apply the cyanogen mod to the 2.1 version or did you have G.O.T.'s 2.2 beta leak installed first THEN apply cyanogen?

I have a feeling that everyone that installed the beta leak is experiencing the bad battery drainage issue and those who didn't are getting good battery life.

Just a theory, but I'm hoping I'm on to something.

Something weird that I have noticed - every time after about a day of use after a fresh install, my phone becomes quite laggy, especially with the contact manager (it takes several seconds to load my contacts and switching between the tabs).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
1- GINGERBREAD and 2- LANGUAGES:

FIRST: I'm loving this ROM. I wonder if we can somehow import the libs from 2.1 or 2.3 to fix the Arabic/Farsi characters issue in the browser, SMS and email. Maildroid displays Arabic email perfectly, but no other ones do. There is also a Farsi browser which connects the letters after the page opens, and all of that are temporary solutions. I wish I could get the same experience I had on my full-Arabic-Support Eclair, with even Arabic letters on the HW Keyboard!

SECOND: Also, Gingerbread ROMs are already all over the place. Of course, we cannot load a custom Kernel, so we would probably have to go back to a 2.2.1 Kernel + Gingerbread like we used to be with Froyo before the Kernel Leaks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Also, people in this forum are AMAZING and so helpful! Reminds me of talk.maemo.org. It was the only real forum out there, so everyone pretty much recognised everyone else and helped with whatever they had :) :) :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] p0les:
I did it from GOT's 2.2 leak. The first few Cyanogen patches were horrible for my battery life. It was only the recent ones that fixed it.

Also, I ditched SetCPU for CPU tuner. Battery life seems slightly improved. Will only know for certain in a few days.

changelog?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrotenlu:
I used CM6 a while, but had some memory issues (apps\home kept getting closed too fast) and the data connection (both edge and 3g) randomly disappearing.

The connection problem was supposedly some baseband issue, but I couldn't find a solution, so I went back to stock 2.1. Now I have a very similar issue, but instead of only the data connection disappearing, the phone connection disappears as well.

Is this:

1. A software issue that wasn't fixed by going back

2. Configuration

3. Hardware

I doubt its configuration as it does connect and its the same APN settings I've always used. I dont think it's hardware either as it happened when I updated to a newer version of CM6 (from v0.03 to 0.04 I believe).

I live in norway, bought my phone from the UK and flashed it with the UK service rom...

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here i will put my Mixed Theme for Cyanogen Mod...

I will try to keep it updated...

Current version 04/12/10....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] intellq:
Smartass governor is broke (using 10.12.08b)

The clock doesn't go below 550 Mhz, no matter what.

My scale is 125 min 1000 Max:

echo 62 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo 1000000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate

echo "1 125000000 30" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "2 250000000 35" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "3 550000000 45" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
echo "4 750000000 56" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

Like you can see above, my frequencies are 125 x 250 x 550 x 750 x 1000.

When I select Smartass only 550, 750 and 1000 are used.

Another governors, including conservative, are fine.

If I use the default overclock (250 x 500 x 700 x 900) then Smartass starts to work ok.

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The kernel has only four frequency slots (although there are five opps defined). I would need to see also your frequency table, so I could know what frequencies are actually active in your case.

Anyway, the smartass parameters may need to be adjusted according to your frequency table.

You can set them like this:

echo X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/<param>

See the comments in the source code to learn about the parameter's meaning (lines 66-133):

QUESTION AND SUGGESTION:

1- Noob question. I have the 12-4 ROM and I plan to flash the newer one. Do I HAVE to to do all 3 wipes? Can I NOT do the FACTORY RESET so that I can just install it as an update and retain all my apps, data and contacts? (Of course I would backup anyways)

2- We MUST do a FAQ. Many of these questions that we/I ask are repetitive and have already been answered somewhere else.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
If u have read the last 30 post, u will know u dont really need to wipe at all
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
why bother write a faq when u dont bother read the thread
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Because searching through a long-ass thread like this one is a real bother and it's quite hard to find a definitive answer.

That's why faqs exist.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
Thats also why the thread search feature exists.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] waylman:
oh snap! .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Again, searching through a really long thread is time consuming and quite bothersome when wanting a definitive answer to a subject.

An FAQ on the first post would be a wonderful thing.

I might even write one when I get around to installing this ROM. (I've installed other roms before so for me personally it wouldn't be much of an issue)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
I've been wanting to record a youtube video with detailed instructions. But hopefully people won't complain it's too long to skip to the part where their question is answered
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
Go for it. The thread will still get ten posts a day asking if you need to wipe data regardless.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
I have a feeling that you might be right about that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
FAQ in the first post is not a best place for it - it's already too long.

A public wiki page, that anyone can participate on, is what is really needed. And a link to it from the first post, yes.

I need your help.

Anyone can register and become creative: https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/CyanogenMod_for_Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SophT:
it IS on the first post:

Installation:

- use OpenRecovery Apply Update menu to install the zip copied to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates

- data wipe/factory reset is highly recommended when you are upgrading from another rom/fw or from 0.01/0.02 to 0.03

I essentially take that to mean that you don't need to wipe, unless you're upgrading from a different ROM (motofroyosense, miui, etc...) or upgrading from version numbers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
To be more clear, now I changed that to:

- data wipe/factory reset is highly recommended when you are upgrading from another ROM/firmware or from CM 0.01/0.02 to the current version

Meaning that I did not meant to recommend to wipe even when upgrading from 0.03 to 0.04.

0.01/0.02 was a different beast - 2.2 system altered to work with 2.1 kernel and 2.1 drivers.

Since 0.03, there weren't so big changes that would require wipe when a new update is to be applied.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
how can i switch from interactive to smartass governor? what files to edit..and how? thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Thanks Kabaldan/Nadlabak!

I DID see it in the first page, but what confused me was the "fw" (firmware) in the sentence. Could be read in many ways.

Before I ask ANY question I check the first post, search the thread, other threads and even the General CM thread. But sometimes I do not find the answers and I know that the Milestone mod has its own special characteristics. Sometimes the answer contradict and the actual user does not tell you how s/he fixed the problem, which answer worked. And it is impossible to read 190 pages every time you want to find something. A FAQ could be a great idea.

SUGGESTION: what we COULD do is to put together random pieces preceded by a title, and then someone would volunteer to do the first edit. Being new to this and hardly capable, I can mostly copy-paste and modify some stuff at this point, but I am a good editor.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flusshd:
Hi kabaldan, I love CM roms but since 2.2 based on new kernel 2.6.32, I can't using apps2ext anymore. Dude, can you please let me know there is any solution for this? Or how can I do for install apps2ext back? Thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
No, it's not possible yet.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
@kabaldan: not really a prioritary thing but..do you think you'll start adding some gingerbread stuff like new animations,keyboard, etc.. in next CM versions?

and again: how can i switch between governors? i'd like to try smartass instead of default interactive.

thanks a lot for your work..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] intellq:
Just install setcpu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
you can add the gingerbread keyboard and launcher to any of the 2.2 based roms yourself if you like. the launcher is available in the market, provided by modaco.

the keyboard is available here: http://androidoverdrive.com/pete/GINGERBREAD/GingerBreadLatinIME.zip

to install the keyboard you need to apply that zip as an update using openrecovery then you need to change your screen density using "lcddensity for root" from the market. first change it from whatever it's set to now to 300, then to 260, then to 240, then back to whatever you had it set at.

should work great after that.

remember to nandroid beforehand.

im currently switching between ADW and the gingerbread launcher. i like having more stuff in my dockbar but the gingerbread launcher is much faster.

some screenies.

you don't have to do the 300 to 260 to 240. just select 240 and it'll automatically reboot, then the keyboard's at the right size.

ok... found the problem.. it was the facebook widget...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
thanks for the replies about gingerbread theming! so launcher and keyboard are ok,but how to add the new fancy animations? is it possible easily or the framework needs to be recompiled to do that?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
at 240 the rest of my life wont be at the right size so i set it to 200. you are right though, you can just set it an reboot and it works apparently.

you mean the facebook widget is the cause of the battery drain and wakelock problems?

not sure what animations you are talking about but i imagine that its gonna be more difficult to implement than either keys or launcher.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] luke666s:
in general: NO

in my case: YES

the prob: facebook used >70% cpu... after i disabled the autonotification (which was never working here on my milestone) the phone smoothly went into standby mode again...

of course: after charging i've got the same probs as everybody else and must restart the phone... but the 3:45h without standby was after a reboot..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
In the first post it mentions you have to install google apps (gapps) after applying the mod. Check back to get the link do download it and install instructions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
However, if you did already install the google apps then this problem is rectifiable by wiping data.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Download the HDPI version, put it in the openrecovery/updates folder, wipe cache and dalvik, then apply the update and you're in! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Setsuna666:
You need to put it in the update folder of OpenRecovery on your sdcard. After, boot in OpenRecovery and choose Apply Update and select the gapps zip file.

I've had a problem for a while now in every version of CM on the froyo kernel. After a while running the ROM I can't install new apps, they always fail with the following error:

W/installd( 468): DexInv: --- END '/data/app/com.appname.apk' --- status=0xff00, process failed

If I go into recovery and clear the dalvik cache, I can install apps again, but only for a while until it happens again. I use Androidiani OR 1.46 and ran the memhack for cyanogen option. Any light on my issue?
