why do you say you re not rooted ? don´t you see the superuser app on your phone ? mine works great

i ran into a problem after rebooting the phone needs 30 secs/1minute to stabilize i ask again is this normal ? i changed the theme to black and enabled the battery percentage numbers on the notification bar.

i´m using launcher pro
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
is motorola planning on releasing 2.2 for the milestone? hopefully its just a bug in the kernel of the 2.1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
I think it`s Launcher Pro doing that, most of the time it works perfectly and sometimes its a little fat pig
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divine3155:
Launcher pro works perfectly for cm6 I find it a good combo. Lol.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
anyone know?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k_myk:
Hopefully yes:) but date depends on your location (as I see it, it ilustrates how much moto doesn't give a s**t about us)

Superuser is there but doesn't work. I can't install root explorer and rootbooter, even can't root in the es explorer, also CM setting is not in the application menu, It only happens in 0.01c, it was all ok in 0.01a and b.

I have wiped and flashed the img again but the problem the same, Is there anyone facing same problem??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Going to try the Gingerbread Rom now! :D

Update: Slightly laggy for me, pretty much good tho!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zrima167:
During 3hs of playing with CM7, I haven't experienced any reboot. My phone rebooted occasionally with the last versions of CM6.1.2 or any other ROM based on the latest leak. Phone is fast, launcher doesn't reload so often as in ShadowMOD b1, but still more often than in FROYO. There were some problems with installing applications from market, it reported that the memory was to low. The second try usually went through though.

Mail refreshing every minute

Hello everyone!

I am using the E-Mail app to get email from my own server. After doing some updates on my server i noticed that my milestone logs in every minute instead of every 15 minutes i chose. I switched this setting to 5 or 30 minutes but it continues to get the mail every minute.

This happens using beta 0.07 and the GAPPS from CM6. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening or know a solution?

Thanks for your work everyone!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cucisan:
when using IMAP, maybe its because of IMAP IDLE ?

did you try k9 mail from market ... ? (fork of std. android email app)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Google Navigation is crashing about 9 out of 10 times that I try to use it since the 0.07 update. Tried uninstalling Maps updates and then updating it via the Market but it hasn't helped. Also tried clearing dalvik and cache, switching from VM Heap between 32M and 40M, nothing has helped so far.

Is there anything else I can try. Navigation is now useless for me on this ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
My god! The cm7 alpha is so damn fast! Like so damn fast.

Everything is snappy snap snap snap!

Nice work kabaldan & team.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
no more battery indicator at cm7 alpha?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Yes! But you can display % battery on lockscreen!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Just use battery indicator until the function will be implemented

Hi all,

when installing cm7 (wipe before and afterwards) I tried to install the latest google apps for cm7. Although I end up with the latest market app, gmail and gcalendar are missing.

After the initial boot the new market app starts to pull all the apps I had installed. If I then flash the cm6 gapps, I'm back to the old market app. But this time it states that all my apps are not installed although this is not the case.

If I flash cm7 and cm6 gapps in one recovery run (yes I wiped), the first cm7 boot ends in a deadlock, with my milestone rebooting all the time.

So my question: How do I get cm7 & the newest gapps?

Edit: Thank you very much for this great ROM!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
I have installed the cm7 package, during the initial wizard the phone ask what gapps you want to install

Hindi in Gingerbread

This is for all the folks from India. Even though google announced that they will support Hindi or the devanagiri script in 2.3, still there is some incomplete work in this regard.

You will notice that in the languages, hindi shows as square boxes. This is partly because hindi font is not distributed.

If you want hindi font then copy the attached DroidSansFallback.ttf font and replace it in the /system/fonts directory. Take care of the permissions as well.

At this moment the only thing which doesn't work in 2.3 is halant (virama). After some extensive debugging in the sdk also, i dont think gingerbread will support that. Unless google comes with an update.

This is just for kicks. As still there is lot of stuff which is not there. The locale itself has only the following translations. Numbers, months, days etc. Even gingerbread keyboard doesn't have hindi alphabets.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ouilsen:
Actually, here in Germany the gmail app does not seem to be available in the market. I extracted the gmail.apk from the cm6 gapps package and installed it manually.

@Kabaldan

Wouldn't it be better to start a new thread for CM7? This will get things a bit messy in this thread. Just a suggestion.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
nice work! cant wait for the ext2 part for cm7!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
that should work as well...the kernel being the same...and nadlabak included all the necessary ext4 modules as well in this alpha release...

Amazing rom, this is first time I use a rom based in this new 2.2.1 kernel, coming from stock 2.1 this is awesome: no more audio skipping while playing music and the memory heap size settings makes a huge difference in games but I have some issues with my data connection.

The APN sometimes doesn't get saved or when it does it suddenly disappear.

I'm using the brazil radio files, sincce I'm in latin american (TIGO, Honduras), I tried uninstalling the toggle 2g/3g application,when the apn gets saved 3g and edge works for some time but then they dissapear just like the apn, I've to restart and add the apn manually to get it working again, the signal still works is just the data connection that gives me problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] maresh88:
my wifi is not working all of a sudden, i remember some1 pointing out that must clear wifi cache or something like that way back but can't seem to find it. Anyone has any solutions?

edit: solved it by moving to cm7 =P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] IFLPI:
Thnx for helping me with the reboot issue Kabaldan!

I hope that when they release the sources, or a good kernel, u finally finish your great CM6, and not abandon it for the cm7 ??

Im now on the old kernel which isnt causing kernel panic, but is laggy, so im waiting for final stable version of cm6.

Thanks.

Any chance of getting the browser/java lag fixed?

I'm leary of testing CM7 at this point and just want a solid OS that "just works"

Actually, does CM7 have the browser/java lag?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Alright, so my phone seems to be FUBARed!

I decided to go back to CM6 until CM7 stabilizes a bit. So first I did a restore of the nandroid backup I made before I tried CM7. It restored fine but it was acting a bit strangely.

So next I simply decided to wipe everything, apply the latest CM6 update + gapps + telus baseband.

When I go to the market whatever I try to download and install sits at the "installing" screen forever. I can't even install titanium backup! I then moved the titanium backup apk file to the /data/app directory which works fine, I can load titanium, but my new problem is that I can't install the key from the market so I can't realistically use titanium. Also, when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage it sits at "Computing..." indefinitely. No idea why it's doing that. I've already tried several times to clean out everything and re-apply but nothing works.

Any suggestions??

Have u restarted ur phone? It will appear after a restart
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
OK everyone. Please ignore me. I'm pretty sure I was screwing things up with my backups from 2.3 applied to 2.2. Anyways, I'm back on CM7 with no issues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Google Navigation crashing on my phone all the time seems to be caused by SVOX TTS. If I switch default TTS back to Pico it works just fine. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SVOX a few times but it's made no difference. Not sure if it's a CM issue since I found this thread with a similar problem: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/12922-61-gmaps-v5/

Pretty sure things were working perfectly for me on the 0.06 build, so something must've changed in 0.07 and I can't figure out what else I can try to get things working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Yup. Restarted the phone. Its good to go now! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mohitrocks:
Kabaldan, is development dead for cm6, now that we have cm7 (LOVING IT) thanks to you? Just a question, and thanks for all your contributions to the milestone modding community
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cucisan:
i guess kabaldan is waiting for the final moto kernel... for me cm6 in current state works perfect...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The whole point of my effort to bring the power of custom, from sources compiled ROM's to Milestone was to ensure some future for this device.

As the CyanogenMod is the most developed opensource ROM, the choice was obvious (it adopted the native FLAC support as the first android ROM, so it got my attention from the start automatically ;) ).

Though the CyanogenMod for Milestone is officially unsupported by the CM team because of the kernel restrictions, I'm actively participating and working directly on the official CM sources.

I dare to say that the current Milestone version of CM7 is in the same (or maybe even a better?) shape compared to the Droid version. Only the kernel issues are holding us back and in this regard we unfortunately can't do more than wait for a decent moto 2.2 release.

Currently, no one commits any source code changes to CM6, all the work is being done to CM7. As there are no real shortcomings in using the 2.6.32 kernel to drive the 2.3 aka gingerbread, there is no reason to dwell on CM6 and to waste the time backporting the new features to an old, soon to be forgotten android version.

As we are still waiting for a decent 2.6.32 kernel and proprietary libs to be released by Motorola for Milestone, every custom 2.2 ROM is a beta anyway.

So, as I started in, the future is what is important, and the future is only in an actively developed code - that is currently the 2.3 aka gingerbread, hence CM7.

So yes, CM6 is dead.

(But despite saying that, I will surely build and release a new CM6 build as soon as the final moto 2.2 release will be available.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Kabaldan,

If you could just answer a quick battery life question?

I have tried most AOSP based ROMs for the milestone and they all seem to have similar battery life. For the record, I never had a major issue with CM6 at all (battery drain or 100% cpu, etc) and I could easily get a full day of HEAVY usage.

I recntly tried the latest froyo moto leak (nandroid backup) and get at least 2x the battery life (2.5 full days). I have all the same setting and even use ADW to make a proper comparison....

Why the HUGE difference?

I never really cared about battery life arguments because I never saw the point arguing over partial days (to me, charging midday is crappy). But if I could get 2 full days out of the battery, it would make a difference.

I would really be interested in your thoughts....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
It's the latest kernel that vastly improved battery consumption.

On the other hand, it also vastly increased the number of random reboots on my phone. 0.06 ran with 0 instability, 0.07 is at least 1 reboot per day. So atm. I can chose tween comfortable battery life or a reliable phone. Motosuck. :(

Thus hearing about the premature death of CM6 makes me sad. Switching to an even less finished CM7 ... I don't know. Looks like "downgrades" in all directions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I thought that Kabaldan had integrated the latest kernel in CM6?

If so, nothing explains the more than doubling the of battery life between the Nandroid leak and the latest CM6.

Are there other proprietary files in use in the leaked "stock" Froyo that the AOSP based Roms don't use? Different versions of said files with this latest leak?

Also, I don't get ANY reboots in CM6 on any version. Ever. Rock solid stability since November. The last time I had a reboot was with something like 0.04 and all the "hacked" Eclair stuff.

This is overclocked to 900 and undervolted significantly with conservative governor.

I like CM too much to keep the latest leak on my phone. But having 2 days of battery life on CM6 (or 7) would be AMAZING.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
Apologies, didn't read your post correctly.

I guess you're talking about the APAC kernel? From what I understand, all what comes with that was integrated in CM6 0.07. And 0.07 did give my phone 2 days battery life (moderate to heavy usage). So that sounds about what you did get with the other rom?

As for the reboots, look back in this thread (page 315 and before). It's been documented quite well that the current kernel does have some issues which can lead to reboots (and only Motorola can fix that).

I've now flashed the 0.06 boot.img over the 0.07. Hopefully, I should have a stable phone again. If not it's full back to 0.06.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
What I am testing now:

I am restoring my CM6 (latest version) Nandroid I took just before trying the latest leaked backup, BUT I am not restoring my boot.img (manually selected all the other things to restore).

I don't know if this will make a difference, but it was suggest in the CM7 thread to help with the reboot issue some people are having

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11229510&postcount=241

I figure that if there is anything different in the boot.img, it will help with battery life, right?

Or I may just be grasping at straws here. But given the difference in battery life between the 2 ROMs, it should be really easy to test.

I will need about 1.5 days for a proper test because a fair comparison can only occur after a drain/nightly charge cycle and then taking a look at how long the battery last. I expect to easily know by tomorrow evening.

I found a fix/workaround for the browser java/lag issue!

Seems that it is the Adblock feature in Open Recovery that makes the browser gag with java enabled.

What the Adblock feature does is load a hosts file.

So I deleted the hosts file (/system/etc/hosts) and the browser is all fixed!

The only downside is that I now see advertising in apps that I didn't even know had advertising... meh...

Is there a way for the browser to ignore the hosts file?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
how do i use the ext4 module to mount my ext2 partition? darktremor's script didn't work..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Create an sd folder in system (ie. /system/sd)

It should just magically happen after a reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
i get mkdir failed for /system/sd as system is read-only..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
That didn't work for me either.

So I cheated and used Super Manager's filemanager to do it.

It's a killer app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
okay i used the a2sd method: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD

but changed the /system/sd to /sd-ext because i found that partition.. can access the ext2 but i'm not sure if everything installs there now..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Best ROM :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I found a PROPER fix for the browser java lag problem!

Seems that the hosts file uses a weird IP - 119.161.80.12

Everybody knows that the IP should be 127.0.0.1

So I opened up this file with notepad++ -> sdcard\OpenRecovery\utility\data\hosts

Then I did a search and replace (ctrl+h) in order to replace all instances of 119.161.80.12 with 127.0.0.1 in one fell swoop.

Next, I went to Open Recovery and applied the adblock in order to install the newly edited hosts file.

Now I have no browser Java freeze and no ads in apps! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thehaunted:
no bugs

Thanx for this rom, everything works great!

Launcher-pro does not, but what the heck...

This Rom takes me back to the G1 hapiness with the great hardware & thanx to Kabaldan stable software.:cool:

I installed CM 6.1.2 few weeks ago and so far I can tell that it performs well. However I have two issues right now:

1. seems like wifi icon is not working, signal reception is always at lowest level

2. adw launcher is crashing sometimes

All in all best ROM so far. Keep up with good work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
I found if press alt+shift+del, they reboot, where I can see more keyboard shortcuts?

Btw, my wifi and adw is working normal, try reaply the rom or install adw from market.

I using adw from market cuz builtin CM6 have the old ver, only CM7 have the last ver.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
like your work

keep up with great work;););)

but i have a question

do i have to create ext2 partition on my sdcard or not ?

and

i want to overlock my phone to 1000 or 1100 MHz , how to do that ?

thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
You don't have to create an ext2 partition if you don't plan on having nearly everything run off the SD card ;)

You can overclock through the froyo menu in androidiani open recovery 3.3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
hi i have a problem with using sd-ext. whether app2card or sd-ext linked using terminal, it functions for about a week, then suddenly the phone has no more memory space. after clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting causes the phone to bootloop.

don't understand why. any help?
