Freeze on BOOT (Motorola Logo)

Hey guys,

i also have a boot problem

* I have 2.1 update 1 and flashed the Vulnerable_recovery (90.78 .sbf)

* copied new OpenRecovery(1.37) to sd

* backup of old ROM

* wiped factory default and cache

* restored CyanogenMod 6 0.01c no errors while restoring

* wiped factory default and cache before rebooting milestone

* after reboot the phone freezes on the motorola logo screen

restore to old backup is possible and working!

any suggestions to make cyanogen work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
After restoring CM6 you do not need to wipe cache/factory default.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
He didn`t, he did it before if you look at his steps in order.

Try again and this time wait for 5 mins, watch the clock
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
He did, if you actually read his steps, let me highlight for you:

is it possible to port the htc camera to this mod, it seems htc camera has much more option than the default one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
I've enabled it from the widget, connected to my home network, browsed the internet and disconnected from the widget.

No reboots

Awesome!! been waiting for this. btw will wait till its stable.

root explorer

i cant use neither setcpu to change to conservative (force close, and dont save the setting)

nor root explorer... root explorer do a force close, then reboot the system.. so i cant use my 3g as well..ToT...:(

but nice rom o/.. i liked it so much... cyanogen is a star in modded roms xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
Wow. I'm not having any of these problems mentioned here?

Guess I'm lucky

My process..

From motofrenzy 0.52 nandroid restored this rom using got recovery.

Wiped cache, davlink and factory reset and reboot.

On reboot, had no signal, so I connected to wifi and downloaded astro.

Using astro installed root explorer, and copied baseband files.

Reboot and have been problem free.

Telus milestone from canada
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rafaelcar:
Me too. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rongconcrx:
works, great so far, from motofrenzy .52 with no problem.

just trying to get app2sd work now,thank you for your hard work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Thanks, I fugured it is same as in MotoFrienzy. I followed the advise about the lib file too. Attached is the tar file (compressed to zip so I can attach it here).

So for Telus Milestone users, while you are in OpenRecovery (assuming GOT used) do:

adb shell

mount /system

mount /sdcard

unzip the tar file and push it to your sdcard; (adb push RIL.tar /sdcard/RIL.tar

make sure you are in / (cd /)

tar xvf/sdcard/RIL.tar

umount /sdcard

umount /system

then reboot.

I have no issues with signal or conectivity. Phone does not reboot when switching on/off wifi, however I got one reboot while installing ConnectBot from Market. This is after about of 2 hours non-stop work with the phone. Will see how it goes. But so far I am pleasantly surprised from this "ALPHA" release!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
yea i installed this earlier today. props to the OP for posting it on xda.

big problems with reception..but im gonna update the baseband

speed of the phone is a bit off but it seems very stable so far

btw i notced my kernel is 2.6.29.. ive seen a 2.6.32... whats the lattest one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Both SetCPU and Root Explorer work fine for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
We can't change the kernel on the Milestone yet. Just like MotoFrienzy this is not full ROM but an image built around the existing (from 2.1) kernel we already had on our Milestones.

Until bootloader gets unlocked/cracked, there will be no true ROM's for Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] diemhenmobile:
app2sd not ok
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Any idea how to fix hardware keyboard layout? tab key gives me Euro sign and $ gives me UK Pund. I guess because it is based on UK Milestone...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
Excelent work, everything working fine here, except mail app that crashes every time I reboot (I don't use it, so it's ok).

I make a backup of apps + user data with titanium backup in my stock 2.1 and recover all in this mod, everything working. Maybe this is the problem crashing my mail app (but I don't care). Also use the Radio+3G Brazil update from Dexter and use manual gprs configuration.

96Mb of free ram (more than the stock one).

Videorecorder and camera (with auto-focus) working fine as stock rom. Also, barcode scanner works perfectly

Some Alt characters aren't working (as reported by leobg), even changing language to en_us. To be exactly: TAB shows € and $ shows £.

Good enough for an alpha release.

Update: Apps2SD working ok.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I noticed system reboots itself quite often, not only when I work on the phone, but also during standby. For like 4 hours I am running it it rebooted 5 or 6 times already.

Another issue I noticed is GPS takes forever to get fix, network assisted location is also hit and miss. Those could be because of using European firmware on North American hardare..

Can someone test lagtst. Apk or fps2d. Apk on this image and see if the fps slowdown still exists
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] maggots:
now is possible to apply psfreedom??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dricos:
Does it faster than MotoFrenzy052?

Sol
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
I think is the same, but IMHO the main feature is about the videorecorder and camera working perfectly. Also apps2sd working with vfat partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
yes it does....avg fps=36
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ageloskalp:
I would also like to know about this!

Very nice work!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hammondhui:
it's been great on the 0.01c, but battery life kills it. I have turn off data and syncing, and i still lose 30% of the battery in 2 hours...

I used to have the program Sweet Dream to turn off data, sound and any kind of syncing during sleeping hours, and I can get through the night with 10% battery use at most. Now overnight with Sweet Dream is eating 30% +

@Azhad

With your OpenRecovery v1.1 for Cyanogen, is it possible to install a theme???

I mean if there is some folder in OpenRecovery folder, in which i can put the ".apk" files and "framework-res.apk" file, and overwrite the existing .apks???

To make more clear, i'm asking if there is an option like "addons/themes" in OpenRecovery SE from -FuFu- which can be found HERE.

I am asking because i made a theme for Cyanogen 0.01c and i don't know how to make an update.zip and i would like to share it with all Milestone owners....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
I've uploaded a new version of the Openrecovery http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/list

V. 1.2 add the Theme menu with "install theme" and "restore theme", under CyanogenMod 6 menu

To add a theme copy the:

apps in /OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/apps

framework (framework-res.apk and services.jar) in /OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/framework

fonts in /OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/fonts

bootanimation in /OpenRecovery/azhad/theme/bootanimation

If a file don't exist in the theme folders it will not be installed or restored, so if your theme don't have fonts, just leave the fonts folder empty
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
Thanks.....

When i' ll finish screenshots etc. i will upload it....

Edit: Where can i upload it? Here or in the Droid/Miletsone themes section????

Edit2: You can download my theme HERE...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
nice work kalagas, I especially like the look of the phone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
how you make the battery indicator? the new theme's battery shows me i have 80% left but the cm build in indicator show me 70% left at same time, which one i should trust...?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
Mine icons are fixed. Icon and percentage is one icon. So don't check the option "battery percentage" under CyanogenMod settings-user interface-status bar.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
after i apply this theme, all my app disappear from market->download, how can i solve it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
Try to install an app from market and after check again and maybe your downloaded apps are there again. Else I don't know.

But I think that it would be better if you have questions about my theme to ask in my theme thread and not here, because here is the thread for the Cyanogen ROM, and not my theme's thread...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
@Azhad Very nice Openrecovery, sir. Thank you! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
You are very welcome :)

One thing I just noticed: Beautiful Widgets animations don't display at all using 200 screen density, so I went back to 240 (default).

Other than that so far it's a very nice addition. :)

After a decent week of use

Before I begin, I would like to state that this is not a bug report, but rather a review of my opinion on the rom THUS far. Also, I had not taken the time to read all the pages of comments regarding the ROM, but I will get around to that as soon as i finish this.

This ROM is by far a pretty stable/usable ROM. Boot time is quick and its functionality is decent. Although it comes with ADW launcher, I much prefer launcher pro. After using ADW for such a long time, and using launcher pro as well, I can make an unbias opinion stating that launcher pro is much smoother and faster than ADW. ALTHOUGH! that being said, ADW offers more features than launcher pro. So in the end, it's mostly your choice. To put it simply, if you have ever used CM6, then you know exactly what to expect out of this.

now, Since I have been running this for about a week now, rebooting it down every 24 hours or so, I have run into a few mishaps and disappointments. one of which is is that at certain points the phone freaks out. Lemme give you an example. Lets say I want to surf the web, or share some files via bluetooth, I proceed by opening the application and executing my desired operation. Given a good 2-5 minute time lapse, the phone demonstrates what seems to be the motorola equivalent of a classic windows blue screen of death. The phone proceeds to then flash a black screen that reads "panic mode" (at least those were the only few words i was able to make out) repeatedly until the phone shuts down and boots up again. Which makes this an interesting case since I've had phone crashes in the past, but never like this. And speaking of phone crashes, I've experienced a hefty amount of random crashes in every kind of environment (when I'm doing something on the phone, when it's idle, whith setCPU running, without an overclock running, etc).

Also opening email attachments has been a pain in the ass, for it refuses to open .xml, .doc, or any extension that has to be opened using quickoffice. instead i had to work around that by finding the temp file on my SD card and opening it via andExplorer app.

Over all, Its not bad, and I'm still using it, and will still be using it till something better pops up on the milestone Dev page. Although, I wish there were more devs for this phone ): dissapointing how there isn't much happening with the 2.2 ports. I hope someone can somehow port that Miui ROM over, that would be BEYOND awesome~! although having used it on the desire, It has a few bugs of its own. nevertheless, AWESOME!

Details:

Phone - Motorola Milestone (Telus native - unlocked - rooted *duh* )

recovery - openrecovery (forgot the version...)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
A problem when one changes the density is that the Beautiful Widgets Clock doesn't fit well on the desktop anymore.

It just doesn't center the way it supposed to do on the default densities.

Here's a little workaround.

Maybe not the one that one's hoping for, but at least it's one that works (In fact I like my Beautiful Widgets clock much more with this workaround).

1. Get ADW Launcher (IMHO the best launcher for the density hack.)

2. In the ADW Launcher settings menu choose Screen Preferences and then Desktop Colums. Select 8 number of colums.

3. Back, back, back to the desktop (or just choose the home button :) ) and select the Beautiful Widgets Home Panel-Widget. Set it up the way you like (I advice a transparant background for the clock)

4. After setting up the widget choose "save and apply". Now, ADW Launcher will present a window in which one can choose the rows and columns span. Choose a 6 colums x 2 rows span. Click ok, wait for the widget clock to display itself on the desktop and drag it from the first column to the second.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
This works to setup the widget properly, and I guess I didn't explain the issue properly, but I was talking about the weather animations when you tap the weather display on the 'Home Weather' widget not working. With this workaround those animations still don't work...but I like the density hack, so I'm debating whether I even care about the weather or not. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dkawa:
Goodmorning Azhad, will you continue to improve this CM6 mod? Can we expect an update?

I really love this mod except for the battery life. This is really terrible...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
I noticed that ADW launcher has another name (com.android.launcher) of original one in the market (org.adw.launcher).

As result the ADW launcher doesn't seem in Downloads section of Market. So we can't see if there is an update...

So I make the following suggestion to developer:

Please change the name of ADW Launcher to original one (org.adw.launcher), so you can check if there is an update on the market....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adipradana:
Been using this ROM for a week now and I can say that it is surprisingly stable. So far probably only 2-3 times random reboots the whole week.

And battery life has also improved since 0.01c. Currently unplugged for 10 hours and still 70% battery with average use (regular email, browsing, rss, with no phone calls).

I'm a happy user! Good job!

Edit: Forgot to mention my only gripe (others are minor)... AGPS still doesn't work... GPS takes forever to lock... If this is fixed it would be close to perfect.. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divine3155:
Yeah I agree. GPS takes forever to get a lock.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ouilsen:
Thank you for this great ROM! It's the best one I used so far (Motorola ROMS included).

For those suffering from crashes. My uptime is 130 hours now. When I first used this ROM it was quite common to reboot every now and then.

IMO the overclocking is too aggressive. I set it to 700 MAX and thus far I have zero crashes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dkawa:
Can somebody tell me how to configure the MMS settings? Because It looks like my phone will not send mms messages..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GlitchZero:
You need to set up your APN according to your carrier. No one else can really tell you what to use unless they are on the same carrier.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jufacamarasa:
I have an urgent question ... Yesterday I got a code to unlock the bands that use in my Miletone but I'm not sure if something can go wrong with this rom .. I put the code but did not work and now I get this message .. "The phone has a subsidy lock" .. and now I need help I do not know what to do
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mXd52:
Thx that worked!! right now im on CM6, but facing another problem... i cant restore my old backup with 2.1 (i.e. the one i did before cm6), im making the same steps without wiping after the restore... and i get stuck on the motorola logo again. Any other suggestion? Do i have to restore all or just check system?

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
You may need to delete any APN`s that came with the rom that are not your carrier and make sure your carrier APN`s are correct.

I couldn`t download an mms pic until I deleted Virgin APN`s that were there.

Alex who posts on Whirlpool forums fixed his aGPS by correctly enter the APN`s for his carrier
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] phutboiroi_remix:
Thx, you ROM very fast and stable.

after use 4 day, one bug I found that is can not using GPS function. It's take forever to lock. How to fix it? Thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
the camera app is garbage, the original milestone camera app was MUCHHHH better..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
i agree but seems the moto one cant use at 2.2
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
yea.. a lot of original milestone stuff cant be ported to cyanogenmod's froyo until motorola officially releases their froyo for milestone..

looks like its gonna be a long time :(

at this time i rather they try htc camrea
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lesiroth:
Great ROM overall, although the battery life is atrocious. Would love to keep using it, but it can't even survive half a day with me at Uni.

I'm still on 0.01b, does the 0.01c update fix battery life in any way?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
barely

but im still sticking with this rom

Anyone on Telus still having GPS lock issues even after 0.001c? :\

I can still only get within 300 meters.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mysterysnake:
I can get a lock on the GPS with telus but it takes about 5 minutes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Midda:
I was having issues with the battery life as well up until recently. I noticed that "MediaServer" was in my battery usage history, always taking up a sizable chunk of my battery. I went through and pasted a few .nomedia files through my SD card in folders which I knew I wouldn't want it to be scanning for media. Since then (as well as dropping the CPU vsel down to 56), my battery is pretty much back to what it was on 2.1. A day and a half of battery with normal use.

I'm having problems with the radio though. Going to airplane mode seems break it, and I can't disable airplane mode again without rebooting. Anyone else had this issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MadDias_:
i had this problem too.. everytime i copy movies or mp3´s to my sdcard the mediaserver is going crazy. i have to kill the process with osmonitor in order to not drain my battery within 5hrs.

Have you changed anything in any .apk file in /system/app at 0.02 version????

I am asking because i want to know if i have to change something in the Theme i made for 0.01c.

Hey kabaldan, GREAT WORK!!!! THANKS A LOT!!! it works great, and the fact that you made 0.02 as an update instead of a full image flash is really great as well, I went to your home page to make a donation to you, hope you continue to do a great work with cm on milestone...

Anyone using this on Telus in Canada? I got the rom working but no cellular service or data connection. I added the Canadian 3G files to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/, verified my sp.telus.com APN setting in android preferences but still no service. What am I missing?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] el_charlie:
If you are upgrading from 0.01c, then it's not necessary.

It's only needed when installing from stock 2.1.

I still have all my google apps and didn't have to apply that update.

Cheers!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dkawa:
thanks!!

I already have 0.01c installed...

Is it a YES or NO to install the 0.2 update?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dc567:
how long will the rebooting take after flashed? my milestone freezes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] el_charlie:
I have it for about 3 hours and works ok so far.

Make sure you do a Dalvik and cache wipe before rebooting. Also if your phone has american 3G bands, you'll have to update the radio files again.

Cheers!

To everyone who installed version 0.02:

Have you noticed any serious deferences from 0.01c, like stability, battery, or any issue that make the reference???

I'm asking because with 0.01c I have almost no problem and if there is no good reason I'm thinking of staying in 0.01c.

Thanks to anyone will give me more informations...

right now i have problems with the USB, stability and performence. will jump back to 0.1c i guess if it doesnt change soon.
