Like nabaldak said, it defers from user to user. For me, I'm experiencing pretty good battery life with CM6 especially since the latest leaked proprietary files were used. Currently I'm at 30% after 26hrs 11mins of medium use. Some games, web browsing, Facebook, few SMSes, few calls, update some Market apps, email sync and also other usage all through a mixture of Wifi & 3G. Plus, I'm using Swype as keyboard, it uses significantly more battery than the stock/Moto/GB keyboard

And yeah, the vsel in CM6 is a bit high, I believe lowering the vsel helps the battery life a lot. I've changed the vsels on mine to:

900 - 56

700 - 48

500 - 40

250 - 30

Running silky smooth with no reboots. Also, using Interactive govenor with no SetCPU profiles.

Perhaps I could go lower too judging from zeppelinrox's setup, will look into that later :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Here's mine on smartass (and sometimes interactive) ...

echo "5 1000000000 64" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "4 800000000 46" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "3 550000000 35" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "2 250000000 20" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

Although I use 800mhz most of the time and 1000mhz is only if i manually want it. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Milestones differ from one device to another, so every user has to find the appropriate Overclock for his device.

I personally have mine running at 1.1GHz, 66vsel (because it cannot get stable at 60-62 vsel) without any problem whatsoever, no overheating of any kind, and Battery life is 2 full days. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
oh

big thx for answer

you're right

I initially thought that the problem is in the firmware, but tried several versions (including official) came to the conclusion that this is unlikely ...

I bought another original battery, it did not produce results ...

disassembled MM, inspected for moisture ... nothing ...

did not know what to think =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
As more than a few reports mention the web browsing as part of the battery issue and there was also a report mentioning a javascript issue, I will try to make an alternative system build using JSC instead of V8 as the JS engine. I'll upload it later, when I will have some free time, so you will be able to compare how the performance differs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Previously when I did this, I lost my overclock.

But I did something wrong... I used windows Wordpad.

It worked the other day when I used Notepad++.

So if you decide to OC via the OR menu and reduce the vsels in the scripts found in OpenRecovery/mod/system/bin/boot_script/, also add this command at the bottom:

insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_stats.ko

Remember, in Windows, use Notepad++ because using either notepad or wordpad won't work.

Edit: Just to clarify, you would edit the scripts named 71_overclock####.sh
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Oh I like this will test buddy
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
waiting for you build

thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheKawa:
hi,

sorry fot the noob question:

how do I oc my milestome?

(i use androidani OR 3.3 and the latest CM6 - 11/01/28)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
if you using the CM just try to install the SetCPU
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Setcpu will allow you to tweak some of the setting through a gui.

Androidiani has an overclock menu for things like the max freq.

For the maximum flexibility, you should probably manually change you 10overclock file manually (search this forum, many threads with details).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I was one of CM6 users who are having the 5-minutes-only-100%-battery behavior.

But... after changing the CPU Governor from interactive to conservative, I have seen major improvements so far.

It was already late at night when I edited my 10overclock. (comment the interactive scaling line, then uncomment the three conservative lines below it.) I was at 20% battery then.

I woke up this morning after 6 hours... And to my surprise, I am still at 20%!

To add, I normally see my Milestone sweep from 20% to 5%. Earlier, I was able to see it go from 20% to 15% to 10% then to 5%!

My hypothesis is... maybe the interactive governor is causing some of our milestones to always stay awake, and pull data.

I will continue to observe and provide updates as appropriate, I am currently charging my battery to full.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I think I've mostly narrowed down the sleep issue my phone's having.

I do a Factory Reset and it's sleeping correctly. I turn on Wifi and connect to my home network. After this the Running time stays at 100% and Wifi Running also stays at 100% even though Wifi Sleep policy is set to 'When Screen is off".

Does anyone know what I can try to fix this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@ SAIUN: Have you tried...

Settings >> Wireless & Networks >> WiFi Settings >> Menu button to open advanced settings >> Sleep Policy >> Select "When screen turns off"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Yes. Please read my post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@ Saiun: Oh ok. I've no idea then. Sorry.

Update about my conservative governor:

My phone went from 100% to 90% only after 2 hours. Woot!

That's me commuting from house to work (phone switching from 1 cell site to another), and sending/receiving a few text messages.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I've flashed this ROM and it sleeps correctly even when connected to Wifi.

So the Wifi sleeping problem I'm having is specific to this ROM. I'm all out of ideas. I need to use Wifi because I only have a small data quota for each month.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
thats very interesting, i have the same problem too

tell plz step by step what you doing

i what to try this to my milestone...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@ debasser:

1. Use Root Explorer to navigate to /etc/init.d/

2. Mount as R/W

3. Hold the 10overclock file, click "Open in Text Editor"

4. Put a "#" in front of "echo interactive > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

5. Remove "#" in front of "#echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

6. Remove "#" in front of "#echo 125000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/sampling_rate"

7. Remove "#" in front of "#echo 25 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/freq_step"

8. Mount as R/O

9. Restart

It's been 5 hours 23 mins 25 seconds since I plugged in. And I'm still at 90%. :D :D :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
thx

made this

charging to 100%.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
That would be great! Thanx

Javascript issue fix would be nice!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
oh

i think no result...

after ~1 call and 3 min playing angry birds - 90% =(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
The reason for the superfast battery drain has to do with the cyanogenmod settings, one ( or could be a few ) of which are keeping the phone awake. Found this in the spare parts usage history.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
running now - 15.6%

display on - 2.3%

phone on 0.3%

strange thing

batt v is 4009mV

thats little big than early...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Camcorder app seems to crash. Says camera hardware unresponsive.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
As I can't reproduce the issue, I need to see a logcat of the crash.

(But if you applied a theme or you replaced some files on the system partition by other means, you should try if you are able to reproduce it on an unmodified CM6 installation first.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Thanks for the reply but I'm new here. :(

How do I go about with the log crash?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Regarding the battery, I unplugged 2,5h ago, since then I downloaded this xda app, listened to music with headphones for about 30 min, wifi on, email push on, and checked twitter for about 3-4 times, i guess. Just dropped down to 90% bat, so its rather good, for me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
Oh, major results....

For me...just unbelievable....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
How is flash performance for everybody? For me is very sluggish on every browser I tested (Dolphin, Miren, xScope and native).

Some browsers perform better but it's almost unusable even in the best perfomer. I'm using plain CM6 with default overclocking.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
How can I clear the "bar color options"?

They are in settings>CM settings>user interface>notification colors>bar color.

If I set "custom notification bar", the option bellow (bar color) auto activate and override the custon png, disabling transparency (alpha) of the png (this is write there too).

I just want to use that option "custom notification bar" without "color bar" option, any way?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Sluggish here, too! :( is there actually any ROM where this doesn't happen? I haven't had any luck yet...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
It's actually not too bad for me. Not great, but not bad. Flash just won't be very good on our phones. It's meant for 1Ghz or faster phones like the Nexus One.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Well I bet my... Milestone :D that it has something to do with our low amount of RAM, too.

Also I have to say that I always end using this ROM haha :p lots and lots of features, that's exactly what I look for.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Disable browser plugins..make sure flash is moved to sd card..should work good..no matter the rom..also keep vm at 40
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] matrix12345678:
Did this doesn't change anything for me at least ...

Have any one been able to play flash video from sites like megavideo without delays?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] IFLPI:
Just had a reboot, and my wifi constantly freezes while downloading large files 100Mb, from megaupload etc, no matter what i do, how i flash rom with how many wipes, on what browser and what settings in wifi sleep policy i use. Also newest software in my router, with bezcon interval set to the lowest.

From the start of the new kernel in ROMs (and 2.2.2 based roms) eg. CM, Cronos, TheFroyoMod, my wifi constantly freezes, and phone randomly reboots.

What is up with this kernel ?!

Try this: try to download about 100Mb size rar or whatever and browse the web, use wifi etc. Im my case im guaranteed to have 2-5 freezes, and have to restart wifi over and over again, and heavy wifi usage and writing on HW keyboard at the same time (eg. forum) results in reboot.

Im fed up, changed about 4 roms in 20 hours, with or without data restore, titanium restore, with or without using wifi maintaining tools on my phone.

Is it just me ?

any clue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Next time try with 3G on instead of WiFi as everybody knows WiFi consumes much lesser power than 3G.

Listening to MP3 also consumes very little battery.

Try watching a streaming Youtube clip using 3G. For me, just watching one Youtube streaming video on 3G already consumes 10% just like that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Just FYI - I'm coming from the N900 which had flash 9.4 and it was way, WAY faster (along with the entire browser).

Someone should port that browser to android haha. It was amazing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
What are you saying :confused:

With the 900 was impossible to watch some movies in megavideo, on the milestone the are smooth like silk, because the hw acceleration.

Today the froyo's flash wins hands down, and not because the os or the hw, but just because the flash version is one year younger.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
You're talking about the native browser, right? I did all that except the vm at 40. What does that mean and how do I do it? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Settings>cyanogenmod sett>performance>vm heap size.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Are you talking about CM on the milestone? Because comparatively I think the N900 has smoother video on megavideo/youtube etc. It SHOULD be better on the Milestone because of GPU accel but it just lags for me.

Maybe when the official 2.2 kernel is out it will be better.

Can anyone actually confirm that flash 10.1 on the milestone CM6.1.2 uses the GPU?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Check the phone logs ;)

Of course it depends on the video format - in the case of VP6/Sorenson, the decoding is done by CPU entirely. In the case of h264 video, the TI DSP is used for the decoding.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] IFLPI:
hi

I dont know if it tells anything, but i have logcat of my MM, which reboots and has wifi issues that irritates me.

http://www.mediafire.com/?0h0bn188j2gtosg

I dont know if havent I accidently closed logcat process, wanted to see it. Maybe I paste another one later.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I only have options as high as 32 and I'm using the current cm6 0.07.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
IFLPI: I don't see anything significant in the logcat. But if the reboots you are experiencing involve the M boot logo, then you should provide the kernel panic log:

cat /data/dontpanic/apanic_console

So far any reboots reported have been caused by the DSI (display serial interface) kernel driver, for which is solely responsible the (signed) Motorola's beta kernel and there's nothing I can do about it (at least at this point - until the kernel source is published) other than hope that the final 2.2 release from Moto will contain a fixed kernel...

See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=354
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
afadel: are you using a theme applied over the CM installation?

If yes, then try a clean CM6.

I've raised the max. selectable VM heap size to 64 and it's there since 0.03-10.10.31...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
How in the world would Flash work having plugins disabled?? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
It's a clean install, but I think the problem is related to the language. I'm usin pt-br and if I go to the vm heap size it only shows up to 32m. I switched to en-us went back there and it showed up to 64m. I switched to 40, went back to pt-br and there's option only up to 32m again, but I think it kept the 40m config as it didn't show any option selected.

Could you please check this problem? It might happen with other language configs. Thanks for the help! ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Good point, of course it's an issue of the language files, thanks for the notice :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Disables ads u will see a arrow boom flash appears
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
You're right, but that's the "on demand" setting for browser plugins. Changing VM heap to 40m actually helped a lot. Looks way smoother now, almost zero lag :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nolimitzz:
with the latest leaked kernel, is it possible to have a working tun.ko?

thanks for all the work kabaldan

edit:

i see we're still waiting for 2.2 sources. i hope itsnt a long wait!

thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Yes ur right on demand ..my bad ..but now u have smooth flash ; )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
The new market is working very well here, I am using hono files.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
But data wipe/factory reset will break it and you will have to install the old market first, then the new market again. Unfortunately, it's still only a hack.

The issue is in the google apps package which I decided to not try to fix on my own, as it's not an issue specific for "CM6 for Milestone" (but general CM issue) and the old market is working OK. It will be eventually fixed in the future update of the GApps package (or when the radio will start working under CM7 for Milestone ;) ).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Ty Kabaldan.

I noticed the smartass governor is not going to 3rd stage of the cpu (700mhz in the screen).

I attached screens from conservative and smartass, this is just with me?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
The smartass governor not using 700MHz is a known bug. Don't worry, it ain't just you. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marcelotorres:
Good night Kabaldan!

Could/Will you port Gingerbread or CM 7 for our Milestone?

Thanks for all your hard work man!

I apreciate this!

All the best
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
This has been discussed already. Kabaldan ported CM7 to Milestone- its super great and all. Except, radioband does not work at all. The solution however, is nowhere to be seen or found. Check his posts and search about cm7 or similar for tech specific answers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Redh3ad:
They identified the problem yesterday and are fixing it now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
:O

hi5!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
Someone released an AOSP Gingerbread. Shadowbr I think? Haven't tried it but some said it will work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
I have a problem with Cyanogen's settings led color changer screwing up the Handcent led.

When I change the Gmail led color it makes Handcent lose it's solid led and start blinking, a blink that is so short that it is hard to see.

Using the color reset in CM settings does not fix it and I have to do a full wipe data to fix it at my next upgrade.

Any way to fix this without wiping my phone. Preferably with keeping the changed Gmail led.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] waylman:
What's battery life like on this now? It was terrible for me a couple of months ago.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vlad.obada:
Quick question:

Just installed the latest CM6 update and I see that my baseband version is 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.09.04I . Do I need to flash the BPSW (same as in SHOLS_U2_05.26.0/SHLA_U2_05.0C.0)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
I am trying a git compile of CM7 and at the screen where it asks you to sign in to a Google account it keeps rebooting and showing the boot animation again. Have you had this problem.

I am using the CM7 gapps from the link in the first post and did a full wipe of the data and caches.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
delete /system/lib/hw/gps.sholes.so - it's not working yet
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] amitmiz:
@kabladan.

There is no way that you will use the radio method of the new Shadowmod rom and finally release CM7 =[?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
It's not a Shadowmod BR method ;), it's the brilliant f_pasha's libgki patch.

CM7 is still far from release.

But yes, I'll upload an alpha as a preview soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
Brilliant indeed!

Guys, just to make clear, I take absolutely no credit for most of the stuff that made the ROM work. I just put the bits and pieces together of the cool work of everyone! I said that on the post I've made, actually! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
hey, thank you! its there!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Great news :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
How come nobody has commented anything yet? :p

Just trying right now CM 7 for Milestone alpha :D

GPS doesn't work, no Gmail issues, camera works fine... will be back later!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
install titanium from file manager failed, get reboot when i click to install the apk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Mmm... didn't try that yet 'cause I don't use Titanium that much, prefer nandroid backups. But I'd first try installing from the Market. Maybe your apk is not the latest version and that can bring some issues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
for the cm7 alpha, mount ext2 failed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
CM7 is so good! Everything fine (but GPS, and everybody already knows ^_^).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
yup, doesn't work... :( well it can't be perfect hehe :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
I cant seem to tether with this ROM.

I tried USB tether does not work.

I tired wireless tether for root users, reboots when I run it

Is tethering working for anyone?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
- the main init scripts are located in /system/etc/rootfs

- clocking options (frequency table, vsel table and governors) can be set in /system/etc/init.d/10overclock

questions...

1. init scripts? what are these scripts? how i run them? are they needed?

2. what is this rom clocked to? how can i edit the 10overclock file? can i use openrecovery to do it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
1: they run by themself, don't mess with them if you don't know what you are doing

2: the rom is overclocked at 900mhz, you can modify that file to change it (modify it using root explorer, for example). Or you can use this http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/list openrecovery to set different overclocking speeds
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
open an issue on http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/list we will check it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
thanks.. i guess ill leave it the way it is.

900mhz and its not heating up or anything.. thats amazing..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
Well, I'm using it at 1100mhz with no overheating :)

The only thing that seems to melt the phone is using 3g data, and that will overheat even at 550mhz , shame on motorola: as my phisics professor used to say "wasted heat is wasted power"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kenosis:
how to check version?

How can I check whether my phone is running latest Cyanogen alpha 0.01C or not?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
how can i restore my app after using ext2 app2sd? i just applied it and i lost all my app..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] feisu:
I got weird sounds when playing flash using default browser, such as visiting online video sites. when playing video, it's a girl talking, but the it sounds like a man talking slowly. ;P installed adobe flash player 10.1 . and it's out of sync.

edit:

ps: I did a test. it does only existed on some certain website. not all the same. it's probably flash player problem not the rom's problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I have no problems tethering using wifi tether for root users from Market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Well - if you have installed it, you should know, no? Anyways - as per change log - 0.01C has usb.apk in /system/apps - so if you see that file there - you are running the 0.01C
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
my touch screen seems unresponsive at times or detecting incorrectly the touch is this normal? (since is alpha or is it just me?)

the chrome to phone feature is awesome !

changing the notification bar colour with with just a couple of touches of the screen is pretty cool too, damm all the cyanogen mod settings menus is awesome
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elishapan:
root....

I am using 0.01c, but it seems not rooted.

Shall I do anything to root the phone??
