Dear all,

I am having an issue with ext2 partition on my SD card and in usage of link2sd.

I created primary fat32 and primary ext2 partitions on my card, but when I put it in my milestone, I receive a message that SD card is corrupt and it is not mounted. I've tried to do that with another SD card and received the same message. Cards are detected fine on my PC and I can copy a data to it.

Could you please advice what could be the reason?

And one more thing - will link2sd work, or I should first disable app2sd somehow?

Thank you in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Yes. Exact same scenario!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Turn off wifi

rename /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to wpa_supplicant.old

Turn on wifi

Sometimes that works (android will make a new .conf file)

If not, reboot

Sorry, could anybody please help with app2sd question?

Updated.

Final will follow after the kernel sources will be released by Motorola and therefore the inclusion of the properly compiled kernel modules will be possible - ext, tun, cifs, nfs...

Can anyone tell me where to download the latest version of cm6??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
https://github.com/downloads/nadlabak/android/update-cm-6.1.2-0.08-11.03.18-Milestone-signed.zip
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
always have the same problem......:(

After I flash cm6 together with the google apps package provided in cm wiki,

I reboot the phone and enter the os successfully

But when i press "setting" > "Applications" > "Manage applications",

the apps just keep computing for a long long time (Note that they are not installed in sd card, npthing to do with app2sd).

What happens to my phone ????

I don't have such problem flashing gingerbread rom (shadowmod)

My steps of flashing cm6

1.wipe all

2.nandroid restore official 2.2 rom

3.apply update (cm6 update zip)

4.apply update (google apps package)

5.reboot

Any experts can help me ????

Thanks !!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kakyoin:
why you include this step?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
i know it is unnecessary

but just to ensure that everything is alright
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rionline:
damn i cannot update because i do not find the theme is used....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Skip

Skip it. It doesnt do anythign except perhaps hurt...you are possibly restoring your caches after a full wipe and before swiching to cm6. This is a big no-no.

Your are supposed to do a FULL WIPE before installing CM. But then you invalidate this step by restoring a nandroid...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Sometimes its better not to take your own decisions with your own reasons, which ends in problem.

The steps of rom installations with update method is so simple and clear, that there is no need to add your own process in between. There is no other rom thread saying to do NANDROID restore, before intallation. Seems you ran your own logic for no good reason. Lolz:D

I think now you will take care next time and do not end up in serious device issues. Yeah! Thats possible, and always happens if instructions are not followed in proper sequence. This happens many a times with Apple iPhone and I have seen many iphones which becase dead due to less knowledge in jailbraking flashing due to wrong sequences. Many iPhones cross overwriting count limit of SHSH set by Apple and go dead forever. Though some methods have come to bring life in them but too difficult. Take care....

have the same problem yesterday but now its ok.it has something about corrupt files on froyo, just delete those and its done.I'll post it tonight not at a PC now.Or try delete. android secure folder on SD card then try to install angrybird or crazy snowboarding?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Thanks bro,

That means if I switch from another rom, say shadowmod to cm6 or cm7, the step should be as follows

1. Wipe all

2.apply update (cm6/7 zip)

3. apple update (Google apps zip)

4. reboot

But I am confused that why shadowmod doesn't have this problem after I wrongly do the nandroid restore? ??

Only froyo such as cm6 and froyomod have the problem of failure to load apps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
With rootexplorer search in mnt/asec, you will sure find an app with the same name.

Probably you installed the app/game in a previous ROM, wiping data won't erase asec folder on memory card.

I had the same problem with Angry Birds

The folder for cordy is not there, as I've never installed it before. Can someone please help me?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I forgot to post earlier.....

This worked for me. It showed up empty from the phone but from the PC there were all the "moved" to sd apps in there (prior to installing app2ext - and yes, an old angry birds was in there). All my apps are on ext2 partition already so I deleted the entire .android_secure folder from the PC.

Rebooted and I was able to install Angry Birds, Angry Brids Seasons and Cordy.

Seasons and Cordy would play but not Angry Birds (all i got was a black screen).

I checked a log via Process Monitor Widget and it seems that AB has an issue with Adblocking :P

It still wouldn't run if I removed the hosts file.

So I installed a version that doesn't have ads and it finally runs :) what a pain the ass tho.

It has to be an issue with apps2sd somehow.

I never had Cordy installed before either and it wouldn't install until I deleted that .android_secure folder - which is where the apps go when you use "move to sd"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
If you use rootexplorer and go in mnt/asec you will find the contents of .android_secure folder, you don't need a PC.

By the way, is it possible to add the option to close the current app by long-press of back button, as in Cyanogenmod7 ?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
I hope Nadlabak will update this CM6 version soon to the final..was using CM7 but find that too many programs are beiing killed because of lack of memory...

So would like to go back to this rom once it is updated ;-)

(Froyomod 2.6 is now used but still some random reboots ...)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
yeah i'am still using this rom too because many ppl say that multitasking (one of the main reasons i decided for android) isn't rly possible on CM7 Milestone... propably my only reason still using CM6, most stable and fast imo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
What are you hoping for in the final?

He is using the best kernel available by Mot

He is waiting for either Mot updates or CM6 updates before he changes the ROM. By now CM6 is stable and probably not getting major dev time and Motorola is probably not going to put major dev effort now that they released official froyo...

Nadlabak can chime in at any time to correct me, but it is very possible that the status and state of this rom not change very much anymore.

What is it you find broken?

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12203313#post12203313

EDIT: just a few more words (though I'm only repeating myself) - the CM6 is no longer being actively developed, no CyanogenMod developer is working on it any more. Even the famous SMS bugs fixed in 2.2.2 forced me to do some unusual forking of the CM source code to get it there.

I'm running CM7 on my phone, so the CM7 has my full attention, and the CM7 is also the version that is under active development.

CM6 will receive at least one more update by me. But Motorola has to release the kernel sources before that.

The CM6 for Milestone source code is out there, available for anyone. So the future of CM6 for MM is still open. If you feel like to contribute to this Milestone port, you're welcome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
I was using cm7 too and back to cm6 for my own reason. maybe until gingerbread for x10 released coz it has same memory as milestone, just kidding :)

About movie recording problem, we need higher throughput to sdcard when recording in high profile. That's why recording until 20s is smooth. What I did is formating my sdcard using 65535 bytes allocation size and copy my data back. Btw my sdcard is class 4.

Tool I use: guiformat.exe will post the link later coz I'm on phone.

You can also try this if using another rom.

Titanium Backup Pro + FCs

Hi,

I have a Motorola Milestone running a recently installed copy of CM 6-0.08, and am currently running into force closes (FCs) with Titanium Backup Pro V3.7.4.1 when I try to run a batch backup. I have also tried previous versions of Titanium (V3.7.4, and V3.7.3.2), and I still get FCs.

The FCs generally occur somewhere between 50% to 80% of the backup process. Some of the apps indeed seem to be backed up, and I get the FCs while different applications are being backed up each time. I've also tried rebooting a number of times.

When I was running CM6-0.07, I had no issues with the current version, or any of the previous versions of Titanium Backup Pro.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
I had the same problem. Some apps couldn't even be updated through the market either. The solution for me was to delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ folder. After deleting the file I could install all apps again :D

Both work so it doesn't matter who is talking about which :P

I posted this in CM7 thread but applicable here too of course:

I've updated the Supercharge thread with gscripts now.

6 different settings, the uninstalls plus a pretty nifty status checker :)

You can switch between the settings instantly so you can switch between balanced or gaming or whatever depending on what you're doing.

The last setting that you use is the one that you have on a reboot so it "sticks"

There are 2 versions. The usual one that uses the 99complete boot script and the really slick method of tweaking init.mapphone_umts.rc as recommended by kabaldan. Only that one file is tweaked and the scripts do a backup only the first time so

only the original would get restored

and not a tweaked version.

The problem is that the apps should be still there, the first thing the 1app2sd script do is moving your apps from /data/app to the ext2 partition...

backup all your apps with titanium backup

wipe cache and data in openrecovery

reinstall the rom

apply the app2sd mod

I just wiped and reinstalled CyanogenMod just to check this issue, everything is working fine with me.

P.S.

Are you using this http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/list version of the openrecovery?

If you find in somwhere else on this thread, maybe you are using an old version of it, not compatible with 0.01c

Fix it by opening terminal ad writing those commands:

chmod 640 /system/etc/init.d/06logcat

Ok, so I assume you meant in the section 1, step 3, do the apps2sd in openrecovery. Then in section 2, step 2, apply the 1apps2sd script?

If so this worked. I'm getting some weird numbers again now.

For /data, I've got 59.7M used

For /data/app, I've got 52.4M used. So I'm not quite sure HOW I got those apps into there, but half are still going into the internal memory, not the ext2.

I'm sorry, I don't know how I keep screwing this up. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
section 1 step 3 and section 2 step 2 are the same thing: apply the apps2sd mod in openrecovery

/data contain much more than the apps, 59.7m used is normal

all the installed apps always go in /data/app but when you use the apps2sd mod the /data/app folder is just a link to the ext2 partition
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
i wipe and re apply the overclock mod, now the clocking just stay at 125mhz, maybe the app problem? which app can check the cpu clocking? and about the

su

chmod 640 /system/etc/init.d/06logcat

it say read only file system

I've tried a lot of ROMs for my Milestone and this seems the best for me (I love emulators and videogames so I need RAM).

But I've found a bug: Spare Parts say that my phone is running 100% of the time, and the problem is in UID 10054 -> com.google.process.gapps

Infact if i kill it the percentage decrease, but it reopens automatically when I use contacts, market ecc... it's impossible to stop! If I uninstall it I can't use Google services, and obviously it's not what I want.

I've tried to delete the data/data/com.google.android.gsf folder and restart the phone, but no success. I'm using the default kernel, not the old one. Is it possible to solve this bug, or it's a known problem?

I've also noticed that in system/built.prop if you decrease the value of "ro.telephony.call_ring.delay" (default 3000) to 1000, the phone won't use custom ringtones. Decreasing to 2000 or leaving the default value is better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I've had this problem since I first started running CM6 a few months ago.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I have noticed it only a week ago, maybe it's a known bug, I don't know.

The problem is in com.google.process.gapps, if I kill it the standby works, but it automatically reopens. In Spare Parts I have set sleep when I press power button, but no way to solve...

Maybe updating Google Apps will solve the problem, but I already have the latest version, maybe I should try older ones (I use only market app from Google, included version 1.82, if I try to update it stops working)
