Thanks for your effort.

Yes, you use "consensus" quite a lot. Most of information you wrote seem correct to me but I would like kabaldan to voice his opion about the correctness of this stuff. As for language, with all due respect Sir, it seems a little bit too stiff for me. If you don't mind I will edit it tomorrow so it sounds more err... friendly?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mohitrocks:
Edit:

My fault guys, just lowered quality (for video recording). Sorry All! I think it may be because I had a data backup from before I flashed the newest version. Once again, sorry everyone, especially you kabaldan! It truly is a great rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] e_yoshida:
It's working fine for me !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I don't have a single issue with the video recoding.

Anyway, the source code of the camera app used in CM6 port for Milestone is here:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android_packages_apps_Camera

So you can fix it for yourself, easily.

Immediately, please :D.

About the wiki and FAQ - sorry, I've been really busy lately, besides other things also with an early 2.3 debugging, so I haven't had the time to check the wiki progress yet.

I really appreciate any help with the documentation. I need your involvement, as my free time and energy is really limited ;).

I'll try to make some work on the wiki and post better links to it as soon as possible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I just saw a post in the HO!NO! thread about a similar problem. The guy there tracked it down to a running app that was installed in the sd. Make sure you kill all runing apps that are installed in the sdcard and then try plugging the phone to usb.

Apparently android prevents sd from being mounted if an app is running from the sdcard. It's sounds very much like your problem.

Good luck!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Hmmmm...it may be my computer science background that makes me write in a technical writing sort of way. But then again, it is a technical/factual document, no?

In any case, feel free to edit what you want. That is what a wiki is for. But my personal view it to keep factual. If you feel that we can make it more factual and less "stiff", then by all means, go ahead.

Like i said, i just wanted to get the ball rolling and appreeciate any involvement.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Thanks for the feedback.

Overclocking and undervolting are next on the list.

Detailed install (more handholding than on 1st page) will follow

Perhaps a lexicon/glossary after this...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Wow... This is an impressive draft Caz666. Thanks! (I also pressed thanks on your post. :-P)

One of my questions before flashing to CM6.1 back then was:

1. Coming from a stock 2.1, do I need to flash GOT's 2.2.1 sbf before going to CM?

2. Do I need Milestone Overclock &/or SetCPU with this ROM? (Personally, I uninstalled both since I noticed that the interactive governor in CM6 does a pretty good job of playing around with the CPU values. And at a max clock of 900MHz @ 60vsel, I didn't find any need to OC further either.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Well, I'm a Linux developer myself but I noticed that users are scared by very technical wording. Not everyone is proficient in English so I believe we can use more simple wording.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zammbi:
The Rom is quite good but I do have a few problems.

The touch screen goes really bad sometimes, really twitchy.

The battery isn't lasting a day, showing its using most of its power on the screen.

Slight freezes here and there.

Flash applications/games crashing all browsers. Flash ads seem to be fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
Uhhhuuuuu, problem solved, thank you for the help, and who face the same problem, here's the solution:

1 - Remove the SD from de Milestone and put it in a PC adapter;

2 - Place it on a computer and format it (slow format FAT32)

3 - Put back in Milestone and testing.

Do not forget to backup your data before ok?

Worked with me!

:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Blackseed22:
Hello,

I'm using this ROM and when I try to send or receive messages in hebrew it only shows question marks (????).

Is there anyway to fix it?

I really like your ROM you've done an incredible job and i admire you, seriously! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] RobsonKarls:
help

can i update directly from my version or i need to apply all updates ? i have installed the alpha version. pls help me, i just installed the last OpenRecovery now i wan to update it.

thx.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xperto:
Is there a way to replace the camera app to the one in official 2.1 rom?

Its better because makes photos with 16:9 aspect ratio, and the one in the rom makes it 4:3 and with much more bad quality.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] minnuss:
I flashed this ROM tonight, this is my first custom rom on the phone (went from 2.1 update 1 stock), and besides some bootloops everything went smoothly. Just wiped all tha data, flashed again and it worked.

Wanted to say thanx to guy who develop this, i'm realy appreciate the effort.

Big props.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
You can install directly without upgrading each version...just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

But if your version is an older alpha (before 0.03), you need to do a full wipe/factory reset.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
Guys my Wifi has been broken for the last little while, I cannot even see available networks! I've tried rebooting, battery pulling, wifi-fix from the issue tracker, and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fernandotakai:
One thing i realized is that with this last building my touch screen is getting 'crazy' more and more.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
Got my phone back from repair and the worksheet said all they did was a software flash. I dunno how they managed to turn the phone on to flash the thing, I couldn't even get it to power up into recovery mode. Weird..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] RazielSerafine:
I've gone back to the version from dez 22. Touchscreen just is to crazy to operate fine. Tried it from release up till yesterday and thought I could live with it. Just reflashed the previous vesion for testing again and it is way better. Even my Launcher Pro works better now. The recent version is great in terms of battery drain, but bad it terms of multitouch and working speed for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Pixelshader3:
hehe... good to know... i used the old version(22dec) and i was about to upgrade. I guess we will have to wait for the hotfix
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zammbi:
HO!HO! mod seem to fix all my issues that I was having: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849676

Hope that helps tracking down the issues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I checked out the other thread based on your recommendation. I love Cyanogen, but if another ROM is that much better, I at least want to investigate enough to let Kabaldan know some specific info.

But what I found is this

"

This Mod fixed all the problems I had with the original version.

But I'm getting random crashing all the time and I don't know why.

Anyone have any solutions?

"

It doesn't look like replacing battery drain with phone crashes is exactly "fixing all your problems".

Could you be more specific as to what was fixed/not fixed by the other ROM?

Did you do a full wipe, cache wipe or nothing at all?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi kabaldan, these are really exciting news..! Any idea when could we see a 2.3 ROM?

(No pressure, just very curious to see your next work in co-operation with Cyanogen..!)

Keep up the good work!

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wreako24:
gameloft/3D games can't work

Hi sorry about this..I'm using the latest version of cyanogen mod.

Just to clarify..anyone has this problem of gameloft games or some 3D games jumping back to the homescreen while loading or even just after passing the splash screen..as far as I know when I'm on stock 2.1 ROM every game runs fine without this issue, so is it due to high memory usage caused by froyo ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] maresh88:
Issit normal to have folder /dev/netmux/netmux/netmux/netmux/netmux......

My file manager went nuts while doin a search
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Netmux is symlinked to /dev, which is why you're seeing that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
+1 for this man

Im on cronos(it`s a CM mod) now,but i have the some problem.System runs well,but damn games not.I`m looking for a solution for same time,but nothing.I think i will go on 2.1 again,because there is nothing important for me in froyo.I can overclock,put apps to SD and other things on eclair too.Oh,and have a long battery life!

Or am i missing something here(except flash player)?What`s the point of JIT if the system cant work faster? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zammbi:
Well I mean fixing all the original problems. Crashing only happens with certain apps I believe. I haven't had time to do much testing.

I'm no longer having touch screen problems.

Flash is now working for me.

Battery life seems better.

Just a cache wipe so the crashing maybe fixed on a full wipe, I just really wanted to avoid that for now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Current status:

The 2.3 is running great.

But there is one main issue: the radio (meaning gsm/umts) is not working yet.

The 2.3 is in fact running so great and fast, that I actually lost all interest in 2.2 ;).

But I'm trying to get the radio running for 4 days now already, and I'm beginning to be quite clueless at this point. The proprietary gkisystem is not being fully initialized (only 11 out of 25 GKI tasks are running), causing the rild (otherwise successfully initialized) to be stuck waiting on the GKI queue...

Wifi, bluetooth, audio, video, camera, sensors (apart from the lightsensor, which is being worked on), battery charging, touchscreen, keyboard - all is working pretty well. Gps is tied to the gkisystem, so I suppose that it will work as soon as the radio - as soon as the gkisystem issue will be circumvented somehow.

So I can't say when. All I can say is that I'm working hard on it. With the help of other devs, the gki issue will be hopefully solved... There certainly must be a way to get the gkisystem running on 2.3 system :P.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DkSp:
Erm, is it me or this firmware doesn't have market app pre-installed? 0_o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -Az-:
sounds good can't wait to try out gingerbread =D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
You can install it from the first post. Google apps are not included on cyanogen roms for legal reasons.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
keep it up! ;)

cant wait for gingerbread!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marshy73:
Need some help guys

I have GOT openrecovery in and wiped my phone clean through GOT.

But once I updated to CM mod image and reboots the phone, it goes into a boot loop of the CM boot logo.

Did I miss out anything?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
the 2.3 is much faster than 2.2? i thought 2.2 and 2.3 have the quite similar speed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nashapps:
I think you should stick with kabaldan's suggestion:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
This is great news dude. To be honest, the last build of 2.2 is near perfect anyway. Everything works and i'm getting nearly two days use from a full overnight charge.

Really glad you are on the case though with 2.3. Look forward to testing out you and the rest of the team's efforts.

You guys make motorola themselves look so retarded.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lesiroth:
This is great news! Looking forward to this, hopefully soon :)

Just wondering, does this have anything to do with the problems other devs faced when running a custom kernel through 2ndboot-ng?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eldis:
I think the speedup might have something to do with this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-gingerbread-api-strictmode.html. Read at least the second to last paragraph "Our Experience".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No, it's a different issue - the modem device itself seems to be responding well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
You are right. As stated in the installations instructions (1st page) and the wiki/faq, you need to install Google Apps (GAPPS) yourself. This is because of a legal issue between Cyanogen and Google.

Use the HDPI version and you will re-obtain the market/gmail/etc

Just flash this immediately after installing the ROM (by placing in OpenRecovery/Updates, same as the ROM).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
This is the problem they had porting 2.2 on the Nokia N900. As far as I know, they fixed it - and since the MS has basically the same chipset - the N900 guys (namely dj_steve) on the maemo.org forums might be of help to you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marshy73:
Thanks

I'm still using GOT just that now i wiped the cache etc before flashing the img. Works now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Afaik they already ported 2.3.

Tough the different basebands, maybe, something we are looking for can be already available on their build(s).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Might be random but its quite good that the community is helping the dev to give tips and advises. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Yeah, since the builds are completely open kabaldan could take a look to see if there's anything useful :)

But the N900 devs are really nice people - I know since I traded my N900 for a MS and was very active on the forums so he could also ask those guys

I bet they'll be very helpful :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crashreptila21:
Noob question, how can i add gmail@market apps?

Thank you.

Nevermind, i search and and o know what i must do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, the N900 gingerbread port can't help with the Milestone issue, as the radio implementation on both phones is completely different.

Milestone uses quite complicated solution where the RIL functions are partly realized in BP (Wrigley 3G) and partly in AP (OMAP) via GKI (RTOS abstraction layer).

Milestone's GKI is not open source and the problem is its initialization not working properly under 2.3. (There's no GKI in use on N900, its gingerbread build uses oFono RIL that can't work on Milestone.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] YourAverageJoe:
gingerbread!

I must say (as i think i have only said it once before), the rom is INCREDIBLE. Thank you SO much. i was just wondering, though, when you are planning to release the 2.3 update? also, will we have to factory reset, or flash a new sbf, or something like that?

during my time using the rom, i have found (though only a TINY niggle) that the folders on my homescreen stop working (they will not open) and do not start working again, even after a reboot, or moving it about on my homescreen.

finally, i know this is probably completely out of your hands, and is more a task for the developers of cyanogenmod. but i was using my friend's blackberry, and noticed that the notification light colour could be changed depending on which contact a text/call was recieved from. i would LOVE to see this on android, although i am aware it is not your responsibility. just tought i'd mention it anyway. :)

thanks again for the fantasmagorical ROM ! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
1. sms popup

2. more than a year back, "missed call" app was there to change colors of diode when getting a call or similar.

check both or search for an app that does that
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I've just flashed this ROM and have trouble with the phone not sleeping. Running time in Spare parts is always above 95% even when the screen is on for less than 20%.

I removed the overclock I had done through Androidiani OR but that doesn't seem to have helped. Is there anything else I can try? I'm currently losing about 10% of battery every 40-60 minutes, with the screen off and not using the phone.

Have checked battery usage in Spare Parts and everything seems fine, Android System is using the most Partial Wake but the blue bar is only small.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
Have you tried rebooting after unplugging the phone off the charger/usb cable?

You know this is the issue since the beginning of this development of this rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Yes I've rebooted a number of times.

EDIT: The phone is successfully sleeping if it's in Airplane Mode. Otherwise it just won't sleep at all.

I've tried setting various Wifi Sleep and JuiceDefender or Toggle 2G settings but nothing seems to be working for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Could someone please explain to me how 2.3 is even possible on the Milestone? (with the locked bootloader and all)

Is there some big news I missed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
probably 2.3 based on 2.2.1 GOT leaked kernel...like 2.2 on 2.1 kernel (Motofrenzy or Motoblur I guess or Cyanogen till 0.3 version)...

maybe if there will be success with 2ndboot project then we could have a fully 2.3 on our milestones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Similar to how we had 2.2.1 on a 2.1 based kernel - it just works through the magic of nadlabak.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razer54:
kabaldan, can you post a quadrant result with your 2.3 rom ? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
i think this issue isnt there since the last kernel-update (12.27-version).

did you a full data wipe? for me running times are really good with CM6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
2ndinit could work but the devs are hacking to get the RIL to boot (please correct me if I am mistaken), without it the GSM module crashes and you can't call, everything else works but what's the point of having a phone and not making any calls?

BTW, kabaldan, Feeyo of the Cronos fame claims he contacted you and apparently has the solution for the not working radio. Can we get your statement on this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vagelisda:
Exactly my experiance too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kriguerr:
hello.

im from brazil, already have tested the ShadowmodBR, now im start to using the cyanogen about a week

at first, do all the stuffs needed to see if would like this mod: all my app data, contacts, configurations, etc...

since i like it, i went to install the gapps...

ok, i downloaded the right one (HDPI) and installed on my droid

on the first 15minutos, evrything ok.. added the gmail acc, market agreement, even installed some app

but them the system crashed

i really dont know what happen. simply got a line of dead pixels and frozen up

dont function any button, not even the power button (holded pressed)

i take this screen to show how looks like

img713.imageshack.us/img713/1577/deade.jpg

so, about one minute dead, the phone restart all over and runned ok so far

i ask if has any app or what i do to record the error for you guys try to see what happen and fix it in the next update

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sabaramo:
Thanks for all your work Kabaldan.

See the post here from Feeyo

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rolanderen:
I was just wondering what will happen when the official 2.2 firmware is released. Will CM6 have to be completely redesigned to fit the firmware or is it just a matter of patching up a few things? I can imagine that a whole slew of new bugs could present themselves.

I hope kabladan finds the time to do this in between playing around with Gingerbread :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
I was going to post the exact same thing just the other day. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lineager:
Are you using Droid?? Please check the title. This ROM is for Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
It will simply involve patching some things up as CM6 only uses the kernel from the official builds. It should hopefully result in some nagging issues being fixed (like the wifi connection issues and battery life problems)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razer54:
any news cooperation with feeyo ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Orangestrat:
It doesn't really matter, I have a feeling they are never going to officially release it. We'll have CM8 before we have official 2.2, I'll put money on it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
if that turns out to be true, then motorola might as well just shut down. how long they're taking to release an official 2.2 is appalling, seen as there's a bunch of stuff that 2.2 corrects from 2.1 - not just a cosmetic upgrade. if they turn out not to release 2.2 for milestone at all, I don't think any of us will ever buy anything with their M on it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ifiuse:
But if a XDA developer, can built a ROM that cant edit kernel... And it doesnt take to many time...

Soo slowly is motorola? :s
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
#Motofail as usual guys...

Glad we have people like Kadalban, HO!NO, Feeyo, Cronos...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mohitrocks:
Perhaps you are not aware of the hype of their devices on CES.

About this rom, my phone repeatedly freezes, and I have to take out the battery and put it back in the phone. This usually happens while typing a text message and has happened at least 50 times.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
I believe exactly the same thing. And from kabaldan's post we are just waiting for the gsm to work and we will soon have a 2.3 ROM..!

+1000

If it wasn't for those guys we would still have 2.1 on our Milestones. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kuzeto:
Try pressing the power button lock the phone and then press the power button again. This works for me when phone freezes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I'm having an issue where the phone constantly switches between UMTS (3G icon) and HSPA (H icon).

My understanding is it's meant to be on 3G when idle and H when something is being downloaded, but the switchover doesn't seem to be happening properly. I've run some speed tests and sometimes the switchover doesn't happen at all; sometimes it only switches over halfway through; sometimes it switches instantly to H but then halfway for no reason switches back to 3G.

What settings can I play around with to get this working better? I'd prefer if it just stayed on HSPA the whole time as that's what Eclair did and I never had a problem with it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eybee1970:
do you have your country specific radio files installed? If not, have a look in kabaldan's first post
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xXDeathDragonXx:
Hi I recently upgraded to CyanogenMod and it is running well but I noticed that most video formats aren't recognized by my phone (Checked Xvid, Mkv & Mp4) is this normal or did I do something wrong?:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razer54:
the milestone can't read xvid

natively

.

vplayer can read all you want :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Agreed, vplayer is easily the best video player on the market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
My preference goes for rockplayer but vplayer is also a good chice.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Rockplayer is a good player too. I just prefer vplayer myself.
