[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mr_deimos:
It's not really a software bug. It's just the way capacitive touchscreen works. Try touching any of the phone's metal parts, like the screen frame or battery door while dragging the screen and you'll notice that the noise (cursor shaking) is gone. I had exactly the same behavior in my G1.

Warning: Technical content

I won't go into too much details (you can always google it), but to measure the capacitance on the touch panel, the touchscreen controller needs a reference level - the phone's ground is used for that. And all the metal parts are connected to the ground (ground as in battery '-' terminal, not the floor ;-) ). So if you're holding the phone, you're touching its grounded parts and it brings your hand to the same electric potential level as the phone's ground, so the touchscreen works as intended.

This changes a bit when you don't touch any of the phone's parts but the touchscreen: then there's no electrical connection between you and the phone's ground, and the touchscreen can become less sensitive (and more prone to errors) than normally. But other than that, both your hand and the phone's ground are at constant potential levels so the tracking still works reasonably well.

But if you connect the charger to a phone you don't hold in your hand, there's still no electrical connection between you and the phone's ground but there is one between phone's ground and chargers ground (the metal shield around the plug). And since most chargers are build as cheaply as possible, the charger's ground isn't always at exactly the same level, but instead it fluctuates a bit. And because this noisy ground is a reference for the touchscreen, the touchscreen controller thinks that your finger moves when it is held still. In fact it's not the finger that moves, it's the reference voltage. But the touchscreen can't tell the difference.

So, long story short: if you want precise finger tracking make sure you touch the phone housing.

It is possible that in the previous version of the rom the touchscreen driver had a bit stronger input filtering but if it did, i didn't notice it: when the phone was connected to a charger and i touched only the touch panel, the input was still noisy. I think it's more of a placebo effect.

But even if filtering got weaker now, it might still a good thing because it will make the touchscreen more responsive during normal use (when actually holding the phone).

By the way, the best place to test cursor movement it is in dev tools app, in "pointer location", or one of the many multitouch tester apps available on market, not dragging the notification bar around ;)

As for the rom itself, it's great to see good old CM on my milestone. Using it for just two days, but no serious problems so far. Thanks a lot for the port kabaldan! I can't wait for the official froyo update, but not because i'll be using it. but because it will mean that this port will be able to use new, stable drivers and kernel :)

i updated last night the last file. Tonight i charged the phone with usb and by curiosity i power off the phone, unplug the battery, put on charge on usb, wait to see question mark, then put back the usb : 60% ^^ i wait for 100%, unplug usb and restart android.

Im using 0.04-10.12.04 , if i want to update to 0.05-10.12.27 do i have to format my phone? :confused: i dont wanna have to install my apps again
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
you dont have to wipe data/factory reset...you can apply the update and only wipe cache/dalvik.

if you do want to wipe all the data then you can use Titanium backup to backup your apps and restore them after installing the rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
Chad_Petree

No, you don't have to perform a full wipe. You won't lose any data, installed apps or settings.

Just clear the cache partition and Dalvik cache (through Open Recovery main menu) and then install the latest ROM update as usual: copy the .zip file to \sdcard\OpenRecovey\updates and then flash the new ROM to your phone by using the Open Recovery "Apply Update" option on its main menu.

Good luck! :D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
As I said few messages back the charge bug sometimes will surface, even with the new kernel, but rebooting the phone should be sufficient to see 90%, and to have at least another half h of charge.

Seem that this happen when you start to charge the phone from totally discharged.

BTW we have to experiment a bit to fully understand when the old behavior happen with the new kernel.

can't get a wifi connection with the latest: 0.05-10.12.27. Tried different settings. NONE, WEP, WPA, WPA2.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marcelotorres:
Strange issue

I don't know if another user have the same issue as me, but after install the version 0.05-10.12.27 my phone "auto-reboot" sometimes.

I was using another rom before this, and i wipe dalvik cache, wipe data and wipe cache partition. I have followed the procediments, but sometimes it reboots, like today when i was writeen a text message.

I have performed wipe davik cache and cache partiton again, but about 3 times for day, this happens.

What i can do to solve this?

Another question, why i can't install android market ver. 2.x?

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
The only way for me to get Wifi to work is with b/g (combined or single) and WPA + AES. Everything else (n, WPA2, TKIP) results in the phone either constantly failing to connect or not even attempting to establish a connection. It's been like that with every 2.2 version and ROM.

Question. I have a Telus Milestone, so I install the Telus bands.

It's 3G capable with 850/1900/2100 supposedly meaning I'm fine in Asia. However, I do not have a data plan with prepaid sim overseas, so I turned data off. However, it only operates in GPRS mode? I understand they don't have EDGE in Asia, but why does it not go into 3G mode for voice at least?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TamirMeiri:
Updating?

Hey guys,

I have CM6 from December 12.

So, how do I update? Do I have to Reflash GOT, go to recovery, and then apply update all over again?

Or is it enough to simply download the latest zip, and go to recovery, flash - and still have all my apps, and everything intact?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Read the first post,

You have to use the new open recovery or the Androidiani OR,

And then use the update. Everything will be intact, just wipe cache and dalvik cache, no need to factory reset.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
The problem with this ROM is that the GUI is really janky. I don't know if it's ADW or not but whenever I exit a game or a long browser session it takes quite a while for the homescreen to react.

Problem gets worse if you use LauncherPro. It just turns black for a few seconds before you can do anything.

I think ADW needs to be dumped and replaced with either the defult 2.2 launcher or LauncherPro.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
HERP DERP. I've started getting auto-reboots just now, one happened exactly when I was writing a text message and second one when switched to airplane mode, Motorola is probably trolling us with the new releases of kernels :/

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Few bugs that i have with this new release are :

Several app FC.

While plugged & scroll the screen gets nuts!

And sometimes the screen turns completly black and there's no way to see anything unless you reboot the device.

Another screen issue i experienced is when i send it to sleep touching the power botton something weird happend. I don't know how to explain it but it seems like old T.V with no signal! :@

Do you understand what i mean? (Sorry for my english) !

And few freezings

Hi guys, I'm new to this cyanmod. First time flashing an android phone. How do I use app2sd with this rom? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
From the log I'd suspect that you are using memhack (dalvik-cache of all apps on /cache partition; instead of the CM default when /system apps' dalvik-cache is on /cache and /data + /sdcard apps' dalvik-cache is on /data) and that your /cache partition is full.

The only error there is the incomplete extraction of classes.dex. Vold then tries to forcibly unmount the asec container, killing system_server which has the package still open. It's not a crash, but only a restart of the main services.

So, how much free space do you have on your /cache partition?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
Will have to see once I nandroid back from HO!NO!. It could be as you say, however the memhack applied is the one from your website "dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only=1".

Kind of weird if it's that though as I had that one running with no issues with 0.04 FroyoMod (before the last update) for almost 2 weeks (with all the same apps installed).

Edit: Bingo kabaldan! I didn't even have to nandroid back (because I forgot to wipe the caches :o). With HO!NO! still on Root Explorer tells me my cache partition is 103.96MB used and 2.04MB free. Doh!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I'm glad that it's been nailed :).

I've actually thought whether to make the memhack option to be the default, but watching the partition data use on my phone, I've decided against it. And I've also put a warning to the description of the option:

http://android.doshaska.net/cm6prop

;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
Gah, warnings, they're like manuals...! :D :o

I'll still have to compare with the clean CM. Atm. in HO!NO!, after moving most apps to the SD, I'm getting around 90MB free in the data partition (100+ apps installed). Without any memhack.

In CM with that memhack up there and most apps on the SD, my data was still down to around 30MB (iirc). Actually the free space on data was what made me re-enable the hack.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
why does most of the apps i move to sdcard still contain allot of data on the phone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Tomdroid: Well, the fundamental workings in HO!NO! should be the same as in CM, as the HO!NO! is a customization of CM (and I'm glad that HO!NO! is there!).

So I don't know what to make out of your observation.

evenelia: that's the dalvik-cache...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Launcher pro has a problem since last update.

Everytime when I return to home, everything is gone.

It takes up to 10 seconds to build up again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Another question:

I still drain my battery down to 5% in 12h,

After full charge with wallcharger, even pulled battery out and charged again from 60 to 100%

No wifi, 3g on.

Made 1 call, no sms, a bit browsing, and reading a lot like news and this forum.

Overclock set to 1000/750/500/250, interactive

Spare parts says: In progress 30%, screen on 20%

What do I do wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Strange:

I removed my new original battery (because it's empty),

and put in my old battery.

I also disabled the "keep in memory" option from launcher pro.

And now, after reboot, the phone responses much quicker and launcher pro has no problem anymore?

Also the home-button responses on the 1st press,

Before I had to hit it twice, or wait about 5 seconds after pressing.

Weird....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
If I do this, will apps like games/emulators/browsers be slower?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
So is this the same option that is in AOR's Froyo Modding Menu?

If it is, then maybe I should not enable that anymore...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
Something must've gone wrong. Either during the nandroid or the Titanium restore process.

Did a full nandroid restore (all partitions but baseband, bootloader) of the earlier CM backup. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Rebooted, then reinstalled all missing apps (worked, of course), then moved all "legal" ones (using Apps2SD app) to the SDcard (just like I did in HO!NO!). Restored build.prop to the non-memhacked version. Rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted int CM.

So at that point both roms should be in the almost exact same state - a number of apps were launched under HO!NO! so it should actually have less free storage in the data partition due to app caches. But:

HO!NO! has nearly 90MB free in the data partion, CM less than 65MB.

Looking at the cache partition HO!NO! is down to around 53MB, CM now has 78MB available.

Twice a difference of ~25MB. So I guess HO!NO! tweaked / memhacked the cache?

"Use with caution, a lot of free space in /data and almost full /cache is not a good thing..."

May I ask why is this not a good thing??

I'm have some touch screen problems in the latest update. Screen jumps up n down too often, very annoying. Also, two other random touch screen issues:

1) In Handcent, while I was typing a sms the "n" character was being typed out automatically resulting in a long string of n's, no way of stopping it. Restarted phone then the problem went away

2) After unplugging phone from PC usb, top quarter of the touch screen went unresponsive. All widgets/apps/menu wasn't accessible. Restarted phone then the problem went away

So far these only happened once.

I have root, but I'm not too sure about the vulnerable recovery. ( I probably have it, as I have root on motorola milestone 2.1 update 1) I HAVE DOWNLOADED A DIFFERENT MOT_BOOT_MODE TO GET MORE MEMORY.

The steps I did: downloaded the nandroid backup from official website, and restored only system. I installed the fix and then rebooted. (Note: While restoring, it said skipped something [i forgot what] so that might be an issue). My phone always freezes on the motorola logo. ( I tried multiple times)

Before, a long time ago, I edited the mot_boot_mode, and I turned it off, and it also would get stuck on the motorola logo.

I think the problem is with the mot_boot_mode, but if I restore to my old nandroid backup (restore everything), it works fine.

Should I change the mot_boot_mode to the original one? (I'm not sure if I have it) I'm scared that if I decide to go back to the original something could go wrong. (because I have extra memory and its full now)

If anyone has a telus milestone mot_boot_mode please attach it, but I'm still not sure if I should change it.

Please help!
