For those with battery issues, you might want to edit the overclock10.ko file. By default it overclocks to 900mhz at 60 vsel using the interactive governor. If you reduce the vsel and change to conservative governor it might help.

Having said that the battery life of the leaked 2.2.1 rom is bad, and it looks like we have to wait till motorola fixes it for there to be significant improvement.

For those with gmail problems, did you wipe dalvik cache and cache partition after updating the rom and gapps? I wipe after each update and have no issues at all.

Hello guys,

Any tips on how to get more free RAM?

It seems that now matter what I`m doing, I can`t get past ~35 megs of free ram, that is when I don`t have any apps running.

I did install Autorun Killer to stop any unnecessary aps, and I only have a couple of them running in the background.

After half a day of use, the whole phone becomes sluggish and even trivial tasks like sending a SMS seems to take for ever.

Currently I`m running CM6.1.0 RC1 0.03-03.11.31 on stock OC.

Thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
I wiped cache and everything. Gmail sync worked after I installed. Suddently autosync didn't work anymore, I have to sync manually ever 30 mins. Seems like g.o.t users also got the same problem.

I removed CMStats.apk and it seems it is ok now...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
It pops up in this thread every now and then. There are 2 things you can do to reduce battery consumption by quite a bit:

1) Remove CMStats.apk

Using adb:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/CMStats.apk

2) Set market update notifications to off

Open Market

Go to downloads tab

Press menu and select notification

Turn off notifications and you're good to go

Is it only me or somebody else experienced that:

the latest update (03.10-11-03 (says .31 I guess 31 is a typo) forced me to make full wipe in order to boot properly. It was stuck at cyanogen boot animation - over and over again. I tried couple of times deleting all chache and even reapplying the update, even without any additional fixes (like keyboard layout and baseband) - same thing - boot loop. Until I decided to try full wipe and it booted fine. Now back to configuring all my stuff again. Google's app restore didn't work quite well either this time (got stuck on "downloading" of all my apps).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrotenlu:
Having a problem with the touch acting all freaky. Its unresposnive, and very strange. And when I try to long press on the homescreen, it often acts as if I hit the home button. When I reboot it seems to work for a little whine before it breaks down again.

I just got my phone back from repair after 3 months and would very much like to never send it away again. It has worked fine for two days now. Could this be a software issue or am I screwed - again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
leobg: it would be great to capture and post adb logcat of the unsuccessful boot in the future, so I could inspect it and see what went wrong.

mrotenlu: see http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=163

it's a touchscreen driver issue (kernel), but it is also affected by the hardware conditions - probably by the static electricity build up, as it seems to be more often encountered by people carrying the phone in the trouser pocket and the like, and not in some carrying case.

The touchscreen should reset/recalibrate itself when wrong inputs are detected, but it doesn't seem to work too well in this beta kernel.

There may be also another issue affecting it, I'm still investigating.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Ha, boot loop cause found - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/e59a3286856aefc427b215bfaac0305234a5e3fc

If you use the latest build, do not enable bluetooth...

I'll make a new build today.

EDIT:

Quick fix uploaded:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] md07:
thanks , so it's only quick fix (bletooth), no new build?:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
correct, no new build... yet ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
I uninstalled cmstats via titanium backup and it really seems to help a lot. Since uninstalling 5 hours ago I've only lost 10% battery!

Really strange, because I disabled the stats in the settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Did you change any overclock setting? I noticed that when not in use, after removing CMStats.apk it really improved the battery usage, but today with average use of the phone it dropped 50% in 5 hours. JuicePlotter shows that when using the phone the battery drops faster. I even changed max_vsel to 46 in 10overclock.sh file in /etc/init.d but it didn't help much. I'm still at 900MHz though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I was just about to provide update on the cause - reboot is fine until I paired and started using my MBW-150 via smatrwatch (bluetooth app). Then bootloop starts. Spent most of the day reinstalling and testing on every step to capture the bootloop cause!

edit: I really need to get some sleep. How dumb not to try adb logcat right away...

Glad you nailed it kabaldan!

second edit: bootloop issue solved by applying the update. Thanks again kabaldan!

I have just applied CM6 0.03-10.11.03 version and I found that I can only add Exchange email account and the Android "Market" is missing...

I had wipe data/cache several times and reboot and it did not show

me the add account screen after bootup

Do anyone know how to fix it?

>>> The problem is fixed after applying the google apps update. <<<
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Atreiu:
Gapps missing?

try download Google Apps (for HDPI devices) link is in the first post
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lineager:
Thanks. Solved. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Investigating why my battery is draining I found that CPU usage is too high, never below 90% (monitored via MiniInfo). If I check battery usage in SpareParts, it shows "running" at 100%. I'm not sure what this means but there is probably a process running at all times.

This can be also felt when loading apps or leaving apps which takes a long time to load the app in the first case and a long time to load the launcher in the latter. RAM is fine with about 30mb in use of a total of 228kb.

Does anyone know how can I check which process is driving the cpu usage so high?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
You can check by going into settings -> About phone -> Battery use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
Have a look at the google code page, theres a issue about this topic. AFAIK rebooting the phone after pulling it off the charger helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Anyone having severe issues with the PC <--> usb connection? Always on the first plug-in nothing happens. I have to unplug then plug-in again for anything to happen, and sometimes I get a reboot once I plug it in.

The first time I thought nothing of it, but it's starting to get very annoying. Anyone else have this issue? And does anyone know of a solution?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @ns:
did u try turning off the usb debug? I have tested and this is one of the cause my phone reboot when its turn on at the same time for usb memory card access..

I still have reboot when connecting memory card...but its after i started moving the apps to sd.. gona try again to identify which app is causing this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @ns:
by the way..can anyone pls let me know if u manage to install angry birds?

I keep having unsucessful installations... do i need to reflash the sbf files?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xd3vilx:
Anyone have any idea how to change the overclocking of 900mhz back to 550mhz?? It sucking my battery too fast for my liking. Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @ns:
u can edit the "10overclock" file located at /etc/init.d

or the easy wat by using setCPU.. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
install "Terminal Emulator" and type:

1.#su

2.#echo 550000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate

or in order to preserve the battery life you can choose a lower voltage for your battery, keeping the 900 mhz cpu rate.just type:

1.#su

2.#echo 52 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
This is the best rom ever
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I have it installed and working fine here. Not sure why you're having problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @ns:
thx..will do a full wipe a reflash the sbf files..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
try and wipe your CACHE only using recovery, its not a factory reset, but if dalvik-cache is placed there, you might have something left there unneeded.

Market download to cache folder, so if its unsuccessfull you might have a full filesystem..

it depends on when you see it.. (full can be during download as well, it is 13MB you're downloading)

beginning - cache

installing - /data

both of them can be full.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] paxcer:
Is there any solution to the "not responding touchscreen" issue yet?

It makes my milestone unusable with any variation of 2.2.1 firmware - I can't either pick up the call or hang up afterwards. Very frustrating...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
I don't have usb debugging on.

I try to use Droid PhoneControl to transfer files but it doesn't work for syncing Music from a music app (like SongBird or MediaMonkey).

Does anyone know the best way to sync music over wireless? I know of iSync for iTunes but I don't use iTunes (and I never will). Also I think the Winamp app for android supports wireless sync, but again, I don't use winamp for all my music. So anyone have any suggestions?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Hey kalabdan!

The default 2.2.1 from GOT has no FLAC support while CM6 has. Could you please create an update file which would contain the required files? Or please tell me which files are needed to enable FLAC so I can create it myself.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Quintasan: Sorry, but I won't waste my time and energy to provide the FLAC support for this particular leaked beta firmware that will be forgotten as soon as a new leak will appear. I'm barely finding the time to take care of the CM6 port right now.

Btw., the native FLAC support was one of the reasons I've decided to try to make the CyanogenMod possible for Milestone.

It might happen that I'll continue providing the FLAC support patches for the Milestone official firmware in the future - http://android.doshaska.net/flac - when the final 2.2 firmware will be released. But at this time, I have to concentrate on making the CM6 port for Milestone as good as possible.

Unfortunately, it's not about taking some files and creating the update.zip - you need to compile the libraries, disassemble the Motorola's framework classes to smali code and edit them to add the needed changes. It's not a trivial task. But I'd be glad to share anything I know about it with you if you take the challenge - don't hesitate to ask me particular questions about it via PM.

I'm having problems with my data connection failing about 50% of the time. APNs are correct. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Wifi and phone\messaging always works.

Anyone have a clue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
I have the same problem, I thought it was an issue of my provider (3 Italy) but now you make me think it is related to this ROM!

Even tethering is slow as a snail..

I installed this morning the 08 nov update, let's see how this one works!

EDIT: I tried it in various places of course..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
I had a GOT2.2.1 for a while now and decided to try Cyanogen. I had Cyanogen rom before on my G1 more than a year back- at that time, every second thing I clicked resulted to a reboot/force close of app.

Its completely different now. I didn't had problems with standard GOT tho (except battery drain), I was just curious how this one works.

I had problems force closing mail/no market and gmail available etc but that was fixed with full wipe. After changing my keyboard to QWERTZ in OR and fine-tuning & downloading apps from market I must say I am impressed. Seriously.

I've started with rooted and own-tweaked Motorola 2.1 update from which I removed everything I could, installed busybox and I dont know what not. It was just.. nice. Stable.

GOT came and it was great improvement. Froyo on Milestone, finally. Stable.

Now, after I installed Cyanogen I can say only one thing- its amazingly fast comparing to anything I used so far on Milestone. If you want to flash and try custom mod for your phone, I really really suggest you try Cyanogen. Its simply amazing.

Thanks to everyone who's contributing to Cyanogen on Milestone. You're great!

Android Commander

I am not able to get Android Commander to install apps onto my phone...it connects fine but the installer wont work...any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
Like the new update, but tbh I don't notice much difference. That's probably because I wasn't having any of the issues people were having. Cheers!

[edit] Ok, battery life while underclocking to 250 (screen off profile) with SetCPU, Trillian, and Extreme Call Blocker ONLY running for the last 3hrs in my pocket have left me with 50% battery life from a full charge. WTH. I must be doing something wrong. Thoughts? [/edit]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
It is tricky, play around with it a bit, enable/disable sdcard connection, closeand restart android commander.

It will eventually work

edit.2

2G connections are still not stable, I dont receive data with 2g-only-mode. first time that I have this problem, so I have to think that the problem is rom-related!?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrotenlu:
I updated with newest update and no change with the data problem. I've tried everything I could think of. Couldn't find any baseband radio for Norway.

I've had no 3g\edge icon all day. So from sometimes working, to not at all.

Other then that, I haven't had a single problem with this rom. Amazingly stable and fast (though haven't made up my mind about battery yet). Loving it . Who cares about this pesky connectivity. :p

Problems I'm experiencing

Hi, first of all, thanks for the hard work put in this! You rock!!!

Now, here's my problem: after applying the Cyanogen mod, I see no Gmail app on my phone, and no Market app.

Tring to install these fail.

Also, trying to open the standard email app I get a Force-close.

Here's what I did:

1. flashed the G.O.T SBF file (euro version)

2. rebooted, configured gmail account, rebooted to recovery console (G.O.T latest OR)

3. rooted the phone and rebooted to verify root.

4. rebooted to recovery console and applied the following: "bug fix 2.1.1", overclock (900MHz/56vsl), Memory hack (from the CM6 menu), market fix

5. applied Cyanogen mod

6. rebooted to see the problems above.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrotenlu:
flat: apply the gapps from the first post as an update (just as you did with the rom)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Just to explain:

GOT 2.2.1 sbf is a Motorola's beta firmware (the only modification is the recovery image in the sbf replaced with the vulnerable one taken from an older official sbf).

GOT fixes are fixes for the Motorola's beta firmware.

CM6 is completely different ROM (compiled from AOSP/CyanogenMod sources).

You need to flash the beta 2.2.1 sbf before CM6 0.03 only because it will flash the new kernel and the new baseband processor software (GSM/3G radio) that is needed for the CM6 0.03.

CM6 installation will format the /system block, it is not using the system from the 2.2.1 beta firmware.

It makes no sense to configure anything using the Motorola's beta 2.2.1 firmware, as you will need to wipe/factory reset before you can use the CM6.

To install CM6, you should: flash the 2.2.1 sbf if not done already, wipe, install CM6 update zip package, install Google apps update zip package, reboot and enjoy...

(Do not install any GOT fixes to CM6, they are not made for CM6. If there is a need for a fix for CM6, it will be provided as a CM6 hotfix or a new CM6 update)

Hi

Last nyt my cell's battery ws 30% and I had switched off fb sync and twitter notifications, auto sync was also switched off and wen I woke up aftr 6 hrs, my cellphone's batterry was dead.. is it normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
abhisvnit: see http://android.doshaska.net/issues

You should reboot the phone after USB/power adapter disconnection, or your phone will not be able to sleep at all. It's the beta kernel bug. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next Motorola's firmware (=kernel). While we are all waiting for the next kernel leak, in the meanwhile let's keep rebooting after charging... ;).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
@Kabaldan

1. What will happen when new kernel/official 2.2.1 hits? Will we have to use SBF with vulnerable Recovery or will this be possible over update.zip through OpenRecovery?

2. Thank god CM has reboot option for flawless reboot without shutting down :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Roitoxique:
hey, great rom. Soooo much smoother than the 2.1 I was running.

However I'd like to see the rom run less apps. Fresh after killing the apps, automatically settings, messenging, Dsp manager and a weird usb app (when not plugged in) comes straight up. waste of memory and probably battery.

HOWEVER with cmstats.apk and market autoupdates off the battery life is pretty good. a day with heavy usage. as good if not better than my 2.1.

OH kabaldan, is that rebooting after usb that usb app that keeps showing when its not plugged in?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flat possum:
Thank you for the explanation, kabaldan. I'm new to this and not a programmer or unix/linux user, and this explained a lot to me :)

I'l give it another go.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flat possum:
CM6 ROCKS!

Just had another go following kabaldan's instructions: works like magic!

way faster than the the unmoded version.

Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Roitoxique:

The interactions: Motorola's usb driver in kernel <-> Motorola's proprietary usbd <-> usb service provided by the Motorola's proprietary Usb.apk

The first versions of CM6 (0.01,0.01b) were avoiding the proprietary usbd and Usb.apk. But then I found out that the Motorola's usb kernel driver is blocking the CPU from suspend. There has to be the proprietary usbd daemon running to tell the driver to go to sleep. Consequently, when the usbd is running, there is no other way to switch the usb mode, but only via some application that will communicate with the usbd via socket. And that app is the proprietary Usb.apk. The reintroduction of those proprietary files in 0.01c greatly enhanced the battery life, as it finally allowed the CPU to go to suspend. So in the end, the Usb.apk is actually saving your battery ;).
