Are you using the ext2 partition?

You need to manually create the sd folder under the system folder to create the path /system/sd.

Recently I decided to install CM from scratch (wiping everything - I had app2ext working fine)

I installed the latest CM612. Booted into Android and its all good. All my apps were gone of course but the app2ext wasn't working.

So I booted into open recovery and from AOR's console I saw that the system/sd folder was gone meaning that reinstalling CM612 will delete the system/sd folder

I then installed the app2sd update and went to AOR's console again.

The sd folder was NOT created.

So I created the sd folder from the console itself.

Just in case, I ran the app2sd update again.

I booted into Android and app2ext was working fine :)

Now what was

REALLY WEIRD

was that all my apps were back!

I don't get it... the sd folder was GONE... my apps were GONE...

I recreated the sd folder... reinstalled the app2sd update.. and my apps CAME BACK?

Also, checking the systm/sd/app folder with ES explorer, I saw that I have 2 copies of almost every app in there! (ie. Qaudrant-1.apk, Quadrant-2.apk, etc) This must be because I had previously reinstalled most apps with Titanium backup the last time I did a clean install. I probably did that before recreating the sd folder which resulted in having 2 copies of most apks - the original ones that magically came back and the ones restored with Titanium.

So.. it's almost like recreating the sd folder actually "undeletes" the apps that were in the system/sd/app folder that the CM reinstall "deleted"

[Q] app2sd / link2sd @ ext2

From which version CM app2ext is available?

I have older version of cronos/cm, I copied ext2.ko to /system/lib/modules/

I Tried to give permissions in terminal 'insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko

There was error message 'exec format error'

what's wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Grab the app2sd full zip from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10934421&postcount=37

Create the sd folder under system

Apply the zip from aor's apply update feature.

Reboot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
prob cuz the sd folder is simply a link for the system to access the ext2 partition, where your apps remained untouched :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Yeah, that's probably it :D

I'm kinda noobish when it comes to linuxish

That's is pretty cool though, knowing that I have an instant "backup" when using app2ext.

I would only have to restore data with titanium backup whenever I wanted to do a fresh reinstall.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Po0yAn:
the gmail crashes for me. i tried the rom's verion, the older and newest version, all of them crashes,does anybody have the same problem?

also i cant install angry birds!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Most of us here have our Gmail (and angry birds) working. Have you tried to do a full wipe?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
hey can i check does this mount ext2 and add that partition to your 'internal memory' space count? (i.e internal mem becomes 1.2gb instead of 197mb?)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
No it remains at 197mb but it gets used up REAL SLOW.

After a clean install of CM612, you will still have about 192mb free :)

So you would probably end up filling up a 1 gb ext2 partition with apps at about the same time that the internal memory runs out.

So... "on paper" the internal memory doesn't change, but in reality, it probably is the same as having 1.2 gb internal memory because that is indeed how much that is available.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mav3tan:
It happened to me before regardless if I had updated to a newer CM6 build. I had to delete the Gmail app then reinstall and everything was back to normal

damn...i really like this rom...but i have some issues with the powerwidget. from time to time it stops responding. anyone else?

greets...i wish there would be some themes....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dorol:
Check ur free ram maybe is too low. Low ram can make your widgets -apps to crash/stop responding.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rionline:
thanks for this hint. but i did this already. there is no ram problem. my battery status is often wrong displayed. but this could caused by my battery....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
You should be able to find themes here.

When I was on CM6, I used sileshn's non-animated blue GB theme. Beautiful theme.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
sileshn is cooking up some honeycomb for CM612 at the moment.

Here are some caps - strictly for teasing purposes :D

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=qq5ab0ghp2z829v

Don't ask for a download link because this a beta/nightly.

There were only a couple of small issues but it looks really nice.

The clock can be had for free in the market though - the one that includes a green version.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skribzy:
Hi - First of all, love CM6. I’ve tried CM7 but it felt a bit laggy so have come back to CM6. Everything is working perfectly, however, the one thing I can’t quite work out right now is to do with the camera. I'm sure that the camera on Eclair was full screen but having used both Froyo & Gingerbread (CM7) the resolution seems to have changed?

pictures taken whilst on Eclair are full screen and list the size as 2592 x 1456

Now (on both CM6 & 7) the size is listed as 2592 x 1936 and they do not fill the screen (i.e black bars on either side)

I have played around in OR with the Froyo Modding menu camera resolution settings (i.e selecting full screen, OR says “done”, then rebooting) but pictures remain at 2592 x 1936 and don’t fill the whole screen.

Is this a limitation of Froyo until Moto get their sh*t together and release an official version or is there another method/fix that I have overlooked?

Cheers

Hoping someone can shed some lights on the basics for me here. I'm pretty new to Android (literally today).

Anyhow, I've rooted the handset and loaded the latest CyanogenMod and as far as that goes, evening is running smooth. Great ROM from what I can see so far.

Im having a bit if trouble wrapping my head around re-loading the TELUS RIL files.. I downloaded them from the link posted on the first page but just can't figure out how to write them back. Im not sure how to find my originals either. I backed up my nand in OR but they're all .img files and I'm not sure how to access them.

I've seen references to apps like 'root explorer' to write them back but I can't seem to locate it? I can't seem to find the Marketplace app either..

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

EDIT: Figured out how to load the Google apps package now using Androidiani. I am also using Androidiani to set the baseband.. I've tried canada.zip AND telus.zip and I am still ending up with 'No Service'... so frustrating! :/

EDIT 2: Fixed! Used RSD Lite to flash GOT_TELUS_2_2_1FULL.sbf. Then reflashed the custom ROM & apps and applied the Telus RIL from Andoidiani. Done and done. Hope this helps someone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saptemai:
don't know if i did anything wrong but this ROM is only giving me headaches.

it stutters more than the stock 2.1 rom but the most annoying thing is that randomly,

the phone hangs and i have to take out the battery.

anyone else having these symptoms?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
It could be a number of things.

Is it a fresh install with not many apps installed yet?

Which roms have been better for you?

Actually, my brother was having alot of problems with rebooting and freezing.

It was BRUTAL. He was ready to go back to blackberry.

Mine was running fine especially after wiping everything and making an ext2 partition.

Come to think of it, his phone wouldn't even boot.

I lowered his overclock which got it running again and made a nandroid.

He installed the latest moto apac leak but that was messing up too.

Finally he decided to just wipe everything off and start 100% fresh.

While setting it up, I saw that his rsd lite log showed some serious errors so I think his problems came from a bad start to everything.

So I redid everything. Flashed vulnerable sbf, made the ext2 partition and a fresh install of CM6 with Hono's nandroid on top because he really likes that theme.

I talked to him today and he said that the phone hasn't been rebooted in days... not on it's own and not by him either... I think it's been more than a week lol.

So I think that it's a good idea to just wipe everything once in awhile instead of always applying rom overtop of rom overtop of rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saptemai:
i always start from scratch when i apply new roms.

what's the ext2 partition for? i assume it's for apps2sd functionality.

so far, all i have installed is on the internal memory.

anyway, i disabled the dalvik jit, increased the VM heap size and modified the overclock a little (800/48) and it seems stable for now.

i assume it was the jit making my stone unstable, since the kernel is still in beta stage.

however, i have to say, the stock 2.1 rom was more, how shall i phrase this, cohesive.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
I might actually try the CM7 instead , thanks for offering us with this:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saptemai:
ok, this rom just doesn't work for me.

the problem is i can't go back to the stock 2.1 rom.

rsd lite won't recognize the phone, and although it appears as it is connected, no info appears in the left pane, and the flashing process fails.

wat do?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Is the phone unusable now? Or will it still boot up?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kmpksprabhu:
Newbie :) please help out

Guys, i just did follow this (URL>>>>xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932196) 6.1.2 post and rooted and installed the CM6.1.2.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saptemai:
the phone boots into cm6 as usual.

however, in bootloader mode, when i try flashing the stock 2.1 rom the following happens.

1. rsdlite sees something connected to the usb port

2. it hangs for about 1 minute trying to recognise the device

3. for a brief instance it sees the device as "omap ...something" not a853 as it should

4. in the left pane all the fields come up with "?"

5. the phone reboots by itself

is there any other way to go back to stock?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You're in Bootloader Fastboot mode.

Power off the phone, hold dpad-up and turn the phone on. Then you will get to the correct bootloader mode that will allow you to flash via rsd lite.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I don't even know what that is :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Does anybody knows the reason why some games cant be played on CM7 while it can be played on CM6?

Unfortuneatly I've had my hands full all day.

I would probably be a couple of days before I got it done and uploaded.

Question on widgets and another on custom ROM's

Here it is... 2 Questions

Firstly, I have rooted and installed cm6.1.2 successfully on my MS. But i wasn't able to make it show widgets shortcuts when i installed new applications.

[ie. after i install a new application say beautifull widgets. i cant see this added to the widgets menu. tap for menu>> tap ADD>> (from the list add to homescreen)tap widgets (i dont see the BW's shortcut which let me add a widget to the homescreen)]

Secondly, as said before i am having a cm6.1.2 on my MS.

Now i tried updating it with moto blur>>> i simply added the motoblur.zip (from dex's site) to the folder Openrecovery>updates and went into recovery mode and patched the phone went into a loop with CM LOGO while rebooting.​

Next since the above didnt work i tried the others motofrenzy, motoincred etc... here i added the updates to the folder OR>Updates. And went into recovery... did all the 3 WIPEs and tried 'apply update'>> but 'apply update' failed.
​

Please let me know a solution. Thanks in advance.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] te.foobar:
I recently installed CM6 on my milestone, and i am quite happy with it. However, email syncing via 2G (Eplus, Germany, no 3g available here in the countryside) does not work , neither using the google mail app, nor via k9mail. Once i enable wifi, everything works.

The funny thing is, the browser works via 2G, and i can even read my Mail that way.

Any hints?

Hi All

Is there a way to have the dailer suggest your contacts like on other Android devices? An example would be if you had a contact named "Sam".. you would just enter "726" on the dialer and Sam would be an option for you to select. Very handy, but seem to miss it on CM6.

Let me know if there are any solutions :)

hi! i0ve just bought a milestone with 2.1

if i want to flash this rom,i've to flash 2.2 leaked than this custom rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BurningKoala:
Flash GOT 2.2.1 with RSDLite...it's a rom ?:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
if you come from an unmodified phone, you need to flash the vulnerable recovery.

it is integrated into GOT 2.2.1, after flashing it u can run OpenRecovery and apply CM7

the G.O.T. release was the first 2.2 leak and slightly modified, little outdated by now.

doesn't really matter if u flash it or only the vulnerable recovery but i think the G.O.T. release is easier to find.

Oooh Borked Phone!

Morning Chaps,

I've been using CM6 on my Milestone since early february and have had nothing but happy smiles on my face as a result until this morning.

Last night I powered down my phone as I do most nights to conserve battery, it had 60% battery so I didn't bother putting it on charge overnight as it didn't need it.

This morning I started the phone up as normal again all was fine. Until I replied to a text I received, I noticed a number of keys on the hardware keyboard were not working.. on screen keyboard was fine and everything else appeared to be as well so I assumed the keyboard was just knackered and needed warranty replacing.

Anyway I rebooted my phone to see if it would resolve it. It booted into Bootloader without me pressing a thing.

I pulled out the battery and put it back in, it booted into bootloader again.

I pulgged it into my PC fired up RSD lite and flashed it back to a stock SBF and it booted into Bootloader again.. Seeing a pattern here.

After a bit of fiddling I got it into recovery, and managed to wipe the cache and data. Rebooted and hey presto fixed!

Very odd, so now I'm not sure what caused it and whether or not I shoudl go back to CM. Ooh and the hardware keyboard is fully working again.
