Please, don't be too optimistic.

One user's positive experience sadly does not mean much.

(There are many users that experience quite good battery life with previous versions and yet there are others who's phone will last only several hours - I was at 50% after 44 hours since unplug running the "old" 0.04-10.12.22... then I had to plug it to have some work over usb done ;) )

There is no final build yet and I don't see any of the major issues solved...

Edit: No major issues fixed includes the "no sleep" bug after usb/power disconnection. Definitely not fixed.

It was not happening always before and it is not happening always now.

But it can happen. And it can happen very often still.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Right, but also don't be too pessimistic.

User experience or not, the motorola engeneers , in the past, had fixed all the major issues.

Slowly (too slowly), but they did.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
Plus I tested it a couple times and the bug that required rebooting after charging has been fixed and that was major.

A little note accurate battery stats was at exactly eleven and a half hours the battery went to 70% which is amazing from my personal experience.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
Did you reupload the December 22nd release? Im just getting confused... :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Nope. They are talking about an unreleased version that some ppl compiled themselves to test (nightly builds). For us "mortals" it's better to wait for the official release. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
Oh thanks for clarifying.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
Total noob here. How do I get started with this ROM. It's not a nandroid, not an update.zip file or an sbf file. Any help will be appreciated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
It's a update zip file. Just put it in / sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
Thanks. How do I get google apps? I know there's an .zip file for that but where do I get it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Take a look on the first post of this thread :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
No Problem with the Engadget app. It works seamlessly.

:rolleyes:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ongadget:
My bad. Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
I built a test rom with the new components and the battery threshold bug is finally gone !!!!!!

Now 100% is 100% not 60%, so we should get a decent battery life with a froyo rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chungtau:
I am a bit stupid, I still don't know how to update this to my 22 dec 2010?:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] geevee11:
i must say, it really does work! though the phone still does not sleep after charging it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
please give us a tutorial how to do that? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
Instructions to build from source are linked to in the first post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Atreiu:
This is another bug, for that you just need to reboot after unplug, in my opinion the threshold bug is the most annoying let's hope a new CM build will out soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
My phone sleeps after charging without a reboot now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
@all

excuse me.. i'm confusing right now coz my milestone is dying :(

first i'm activated the internet package, and then it sync my contact. after that my milestone just suddenly turn off. and until now it couldnt turn on.

when i charged the battery, it always show 5%. but i still can't not turn it on.

anyone know what happen with my milestone? is it the battery error or? :( :( :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vsinha71:
its working absolutely perfect for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
For the impatients I built a test rom ( in 5 minutes, so don't expect a fully refined rom).

It's froyomod based just because I was testing that rom when new components where published.

Please wait for Kabaldan's or Luca's releases for some fully refined rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
Hmmm...its somewhat Force closing on me after 2-3 seconds.

Though its working fine on MIUI.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Did you try wiping this app data through settings->applications?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
I applied it and it works great, and this is the first time I have seen the Market like that, is it the latest? It says version 2.2.6 but my Milestone 2 only has 2.12
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Seem that motorola started deploying the new market firstly on their eclair roms.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
It is already on 2.2.7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
Mine is still on 2.2.6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cpuks:
Only change is new kernel? Am I right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
The kernel (and it's modules), few proprietary apk and libraries.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
How do you installed it in CMM6?

My /cache has 2 version of 2.2.7.

I installed 2.2.7 renaming old Vending.apk in /system/app but it only FCs, back to old one :mad:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scomodo:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
28.12.2010 0.05-10.12.27

I don't know if you've already noticed, but kabaldan already released a new ROM version (28.12.2010 0.05-10.12.27).

Look here: http://android.doshaska.net/cm6

Change log (copied from this other site):

- battery top charge level fixed, updated WLAN driver, ...

I believe it'll be posted on this thread as well very soon.

I'll flash it to my Milestone as soon as I get a chance.

to kabaldan:

Thanks a lot for all the hard work! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
scomodo,

You were faster than me! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
update was pulled.... during the middle of my download. why? oO
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Wow, just installed here but I think nadlaback uploaded new file
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
I would like to ask something that seems "strange" to me...

1) Why does this rom often close apps in background even if there is plenty of free ram? I.e. the browser...

2) I edited 10overclock to enable the 125Mhz freq step but when opening OSMonitor I only see 600Mhz/250Mhz. Why? Seems like 500 and 125 Mhz steps aren't even set by the script...Do I have to use SetCPU?

3) Speaking of which...SetCPU force closes...... -_-'' Both 2.04 and 2.10.

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
I've noticed 1 and 3 for months now. It's frustrating and I believe some days I will wake up and everything gets killed to the point where there's like 2 times the usual amount of free ram and only 3 services running. I have to reboot to fix this
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
DiaboluZ, antonyfl: Sorry for the inconvenience. I was made aware that I forgot to circumvent a possible particular issue that might happen during the flashing procedure (forgetting what I learned and tested with the help of other users some time before ;) ).

If you've applied the update package successfully, then it's all OK. No need to re-download.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
kabaldan,

I was able to download the update file you posted before you replaced it. I've already flashed to my phone (with no problems), but I've noticed that boot.img was replaced (old one = 3,670,016 bytes and new one = 2,885,632 bytes).

I've downloaded the new update file and I'll reflash it, just in case.

Thanks a lot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
1) Use a program that can edit minfree values (search minfree on market) to edit how Android manage ram. I personally put a line 10overclock to do the same thing:

echo "1536,1536,3072,1024,8192,8192" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

2) You can only have 4 'steps' for the CPU to scale. Meaning, if you use the 125mhz frequency, you'll need to remove another frequency (you can just comment it out). Also make sure your permissions are set correctly (755 is the safe bet)

3) It really shouldn't.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
hi all

flash to the new build

have some troubles with stress test in setcpu (with 500, 700, 900mhz etc)

with early build don't have this issue

battery life dont test it this time, but, hope, this release solve my big problem with battery

big thx for you work

sorry for english, dont have much time for learn =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
Is it possible to update the system version of adw.launcher without having to get it from the cyanogenmod?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Flashing at the speed of light, I will report back with the results of my battery life on the Wiki along with the steps I did before starting the test. Keep up the great job kabaldan!

I think we all own you a beer :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
the great kabaldan always working hard ! nice to see the battery problem fixed THANKS !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] samoz83:
Strange bug on mine with the new update, tried to install androzip but half way through it restarts back to bootscreen, done a cache and devlik wipe =/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
How do you tell if the phone doesn't sleep after being connected by usb/charged?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Sorry for the autoquote, but i have to add that the bug is MOSTLY, not completely, fixed.

Altough most of the time the thresold is correct, sometimes the old wrong one is still present.

I haven't figured yet what triggers the wrong behaviour, but with this kernel a reboot seem to be sufficient to continue charging until the true 100%.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
check in Spare Parts and battery history to see if your phone is Running 100%
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Ok, the new update seems great, haven't tested the battery from a full charge yet, but I did notice something, albeit nothing to do with the actual rom itself.

I copied my launcher pro apk to the /system/app directory so that I wouldn't get the redraw issue, but now that I applied the update it's gone as well as the amazon mp3 apk that I had in the /system/app directory (if you're in Canada, you can't download it from the android market, also if you want to purchase music, buy a mastercraft gift card and use that in your amazon account info along with a US address).

It was just an oversight on my part. No big deal, but since it was deleted I did lose all my launcher pro settings, just an annoyance.

So everyone keep that in mind if you manually copied anything to the /system/app folder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Is this actually a new kernel or is it the 2.1 kernel? ...or is it only the touchscreen driver that's different? I don't mind losing 2 extra touch points :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
it's a new kernel, but wanted to make you notice...

sadly we lose 4 point multitouch :-(

really dunno why they have disabled it in the kernel -.-"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
this new kernel is the "official" from motorola ? that we´re supposed to get when froyo comes out ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
When flashing the rom the /system gets completely overwriten with the update.zip files, so you should indeed lose all the stuff you put in there. What I usually do is edit the update.zip with the files I want in /system/app before flashing. I do that to replace Email.apk with a modified one that doesn't enforce Exchange Server Policy.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No, the final Milestone firmware has not been built yet. Thanks god... or whatever.

Hopefully, some work will be put into it yet... before it will be finally released.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
i thought it was supposed to be in test by carriers at the moment ... guess not ...

average battery life expectancy with this new leaked kernel ? 2 days maybe ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
is there anyone here can help me???

coz until now my milestone still dying.

i think this started happen when i deleted batterystats.bin

and now when my milestone turn one, it always get charged 5%. and the battery voltage just 2415mV.

i'm so desperated now, dont know what to do with this phone. cose i already wipe dalvik, wipe data and partitition. also change the custom rom. change the battery. but still dont works..

:'( :'(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
Try re flashing the rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Nice tip! I'll try that next update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Precisely what I was going to suggest.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
i wish i can do it, but i cant...

when i put out the charged from my milestone, it just turn off it self. and can't turn on again.. so, it cant entered to boot loader..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
So try leaving it on the charger and boot into recovery, apply update, and reboot.

If that doesn't fix it then it could be a hardware issue, like a dead battery perhaps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
i already to that.. i used CM 6.1.1 before, and now miui. but the battery charged indicator still 5% until now..

so what should i do then?? :( :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
If you know someone that has the same phone, a milestone or droid, ask if you can try their battery in your phone. If yours boots up and shows something similar to what they had before taking it out, then it's just your battery is dead.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
actually i've told before that i already replace the battery but nothing change, still 5%.

and my battery works fine on my friend's milestone.

so i think not the battery. but the milestone system it self :( :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
Looks like I'm not the only who potentially bricked the phone. I applied the update, all went fine until I rebooted it. It just doesn't power up now. I've held the power button down for a long time. I tried plugging it in without the battery and it doesn't show the battery missing message.

Last hope is to let it sit overnight. If all else fails, I guess I have to break out the iphone4 that's been sitting on my coffee table for the past month. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vigos:
I think you did not mention it, or at least I did not see it, your charger is connected to the wall? or to a computer? try following the procedure mentioned some pages ago... mine just got stuck at 5% and after connecting to the wall without battery (I see the battery with the question mark), plug in the battery and after some time it was in 20 %...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rpgman:
I tried yesterday to plug it in without the battery and it didn't show the battery missing message. It was on a laptop, when i do the same when phone connected to wall that's work => not enought mA in usb on laptop :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] siphodias88:
Do i need a data wipe to upgrade from. 0.04 22/12 to the last one.?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
My Mixed_Theme updated to latest version 27.12.10... check No5!!!

Happy new year to all of you....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeRONY:
it's the same result when i tried ur suggest above :(

still 5%, batt volt is 2417 mV

and when i'm entered the bootloader, notification appear: "battery low, cannot program" (in condition, while charger connected to the wall) but when i'm unplug the usb cable, it will turn off again.

while connected, battery still 5%.

i think the problem is my milestone system misreading about the battery indicator :( :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
Not sure i understood it right, but are the binairies/kernel of the new rom based on a new leaked firmware? Does that mean we can try nfs/cifs modules to see if it will works this time?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
sorry for the dumb question but..has services.jar changed in this last version,from the 12.22? i have a modified one with green powerbar to match a gingerbread theme i use but i don't know if it's safe to use on this 12.27.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rolanderen:
For all those having isseus with the redraw/lag on LauncherPro, check out the thread on the LauncherPro forum (sorry I have to post it like this, I'm too "new" to the forum to post a link :P): Launcherpro.com -> Forum -> LauncherPro General Discussion -> "Fixed Launcher Pro lag when returning to home screen". It seemed to do the trick for me, LP now hardly ever has to reload :)

And keep up the great work with the ROM :D!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edehahn:
but keep in mind that for heavy apps like navigation or games might be useful if the launcher can be killed to have more ram available
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SophT:
Have you tried leaving it on and letting the battery actually cycle to 0 then charging? That might help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
I've experienced several reboots with the lastest build.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jazzcore:
Noticed some bugs with screen...

After scrolling if i hold finger, screen starts "shaking". It happens not everytime, but very annoying...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
Me to. Kinda weird if im trying to read a text.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Just Wipe Dalvik and Wipe Cache. No need to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
Is it possible to get a norwegian dictionary for the gingerbread keyboard, like there is a swedish one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] siphodias88:
Thx ill try very soon
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
I've noticed this too. :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] KinChungE:
I found an issue with the wi-fi when the router running in b/g/n mode

Previously, i think that it won't work when the router is in b/g/n mode, but working in b/g mode

But, when I try it seriously, I got the following result, and it is related to encryption:

TKIP only : Works like a charm!

AES only : Never get connected

TKIP or AES : only can be connected when running "WPA only", never connects when running "WPA2 only" or "WPA or WPA2"

i think the reason is mainly due to AES in b/g/n mixed mode

I bet it is trying to use WPA2 cipher(WPA2+AES) or WPA cipher(WPA+TKIP)

the first one is more preferred, and that's why it cannot connect when the router is in "WPA or WPA2" + "AES or TKIP"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] matrix12345678:
i"v noticed it too but only when connected to charger
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Yes, only when connect to a charger.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
oh no. so the multitouch issues are back again :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
home button not function ....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
Did you try charge the battery with the wall charger?

I've experienced this thing in the past, and it was related to the battery... under a certain battery % motorola phones are cannot be charged via PC/USB, but only with the wall charger (strange but it's the same since V3).

I hope it may help you ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
Having problems with srcolling too
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nekisia:
Yes this is the only "bug" i ve noticed.When i connect the charger and try to scroll down the notification bar...it shakes.....When the phone is not on charge or pc cable,notification bar scrolls smooth.I didnt chech the shake effect elsewhere
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
Thanks but yeah, I tried everything. If I plug in the wall charger, the charge light blips and turns off. The phone was on the wall charger all night when I did the flash so the battery should still be full but the phone should still turn on while plugged in without the battery so I think it's hooped...

It's still warrantied until May so I'm going to have to try to get Telus or Motorola to warranty the thing. May be tough since I'm a Fido user :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
have u tried reflashing through rsd lite using a full sbf file image ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
dont think he can get to the bootloader
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Nice info!

I been able to connect with "WPA Only" along with "TKIP and AES" cipher which wasn't 100% reliable - it would disconnect at times.

I had to change it from "WPA2 Only" with "TKIP and AES" cipher - which is what I always used and didn't really like the idea of going from WPA2 down to WPA.

So I tried this out using "WPA2 Only" and TKIP only and it connected no problem!

BOOYA!

Thanks :)
