Fequencies and MAC OSX

Hey!

3 Quick questions and a note:

1- Can I flash SBF Recovery using Mac OSX? Can I do the entire process using Leopard/Snow Leopard rather than Windows?

2- Does this work with MENA (Middle-East North Africa) GSM Radio? I'm in Egypt!

3- When do you think this ROM will exit beta?

NOTE: It seems that, among the many thoughts regarding the battery drain, there's an issue with the phone not sleeping at all after being disconnected, without a reboot. You have to reboot after each disconnection from a cable so that the phone can sleep! Happens with all ROMS using the current leaked kernel.

This is such a magnificent rom. I have seen someone using it and it is fast, clean and perfect. Thanks for the amazing effort!

.but i simply cant understand how to update to

cm6?i mean the instructions are there on the first post but i cant make head or

PLEASE SOMEBODY GIVE A STEP BY STEP EASY TO UNDERSTAND EXPLANATION ON WHICH FILES TO DOWNLOAD AND WHAT TO DO WITH THEM..

i am new to android so please bear with me..

any help would be greatly appreciated

(had iphone 3gs,which sucked by the way)

hey i did what ever i could understand...i did a factory reset (running 2.2 GOT)

unzipped openrecovery into sd card,booted in recovery mode opened the openrecovery menu and selected the update option but my update cm6.1.0rc3 doesnt show up in there although i put the zipped update file in sd,

OR IS IT THAT WHATEVER I AM DOING IS TOTALLY WRONG?

PLEASE HELP..ANYBODY...

@cooldudeansari

First you must install OR on your phone. You can read THIS thread to learn how to do it.

Pretty straight forward: get the OR, unzip the OpenRecovery directory and update.zip to the root of your SD card.

Then head to kabaldan`s website and from there grab the latest update (which at the moment or writing this is 0.03-10.11.08) and put it in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates.

Then reboot your phone in OR and simply use Apply Update from main menu.

Don`t forget to do a full whipe after.

PS: this assumes you already have 2.2 on your phone, since CM will need the latest kernel in order to work.

Cheers :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MadDias_:
copy the "cm6 update zipfile", do not unzip it, in openrecovery/updates together with the "gapps for hdpi devices".

when u choose "install update" in openrecovery u should see both cm6 and gapps updates. install them both and then wipe.

Questions...

Hi again,

After I ran with this ROM for a couple of days, I have a couple of observations/questions:

I have noticed that every so often the phone will become very hot and extremely laggy :eek:

I installed WatchDog and found out that Gmail is hogging the CPU very frequently, and when that happens, everythig freezes up for a few minutes :confused:

I have tried killing the app but it comes back after a minute or so.

Anybody suffers from the same? Any suggested solutions?

I'm running at 900MHz/56vsl. Does that cosidered safe clock setting?

Another question: I've noticed that sometimes (and I couldn't find a trigger or a cause I could associate to this) the SD card with cog icon will appear on the status bar and won't go away. when it does that, it won't have any text next to it (unlike the "checking for errors" that appears when you mount the card).

I used to have it permanently before upgrading to v2.2, but it wasn't there anymore with the G.O.T theme.

Can anybody tell me what it means?

Last one:

I have noticed that sometimes when connecting the USB calbe to charge from a PC (in charger only mode), the battery will not charge. Anybody knows the reason for that?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge!

Cheers

FP

Hi.

How i can set cpu overclock permanently?

I usually using 1000MHz/56vsel, but after reboot my cpu is set 900/60.

I tried set it in milestone overclock app and terminal emulator.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
edit the file /system/etc/init.d/10overclock - set whatever you like there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cooldudeansari:
hey thanxs guys..i figured that out..

ran cm6 for a day..it is good..but tha adw launcher is crappy,so slow if you have a live wallpaper in the background...so replaced it with laucher pro and deleted the system/app files and installed launcher pro there from data/app..now its my default launcher..now cm6 truly looks awesome..but i liked my 2.1 better i guess,so did a nandroid backup and reverted back...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cooldudeansari:
i am sorry guys,i know this is out of context but please somebody just answer my question...

i am running 2.1stock rom rooted,overclocked,with launcher pro etc etc=customized perfectly...

i just want apps2 sd in that?is it possible?i googled for 3 hrs with inconclusive results most saying not possible...

please if it is possible,then somebody just post a link which shows how to

...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
Sure it's possible.

1.First you should backup all your stuff with Titanium backup and save it to your computer. I also recommend doing a nandroid backup. You have tutorials here.

2.Then you should save your sd-card content to your computer as well, because you will have to format your sd-card to have an ext2 partition.

3.Install app2card. Open it and go to options-->partition. First partition will be fat32 and will be the biggest. The second will be ext2 and will be for your apps. My ext2 is 900mb.

4. I dont have a linux swap, many people say it wont work and you must have one, but my phone works great without it. I'm having 2.1stock as well, rooted,overclocked at 800mhz, launcher pro, and androidiani open recovery.

5. After partitioning your card will be empty. You should transfer all your apps to sd card and then reboot.

6. Your internal memory will still be the same because you have to delete the apps yourself.

7. Here's what another user says:

"after transferring the apps, have you reboot the phone? if you've rebooted, open App2Card to see whether it is successful or not.

if there's no error message pop-up and the AppStatus: is showing "Locaton: SD CARD" then you're good to go.

to clear-up your internal memory, power-off the phone, remove SD card and boot.

(don't worry, it will boot) with something like the phone is reset. there, uninstall the apps that appearing in the list. (except App2Card) it will clear more space. (don't worry about the apps, it's already copy to your SD card).

once you've finished, insert the SD card and reboot.

then, click Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory

it will release some more space in your internal RAM."

8. You can also use "Root explorer" and delete /system/app1 and /system-dalvik1 ...or something like that.

9.Goodluck

New build 0.03-10.11.14 has been uploaded to the google code page (issue tracker).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
Sd- access via Usb is working now. Thanks a lot!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
It always worked before...?

Anyways, thanks for the new release!

I must say though the overscroll is annoying in its current implementation. Thank god it wasn't enabled by default - not saying this is CM's fault or the mod's fault.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beup:
Just installed and everything seems fine but i had a first time bug with the gallery, i wanted to set a wallpaper so i choose a picture from my gallery but when i selected a picture it show me another one like if i pick a picure A it shows a picture K it was random.

I reboot and the problem was solve dunno if its with the new update.

Another problem is with the multitouch keyboard from the GOT 2.2.1, the keyboard work but all the letters of it are tiny like the policy was 2 on WORD.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moobe:
Thanks for the new release.

I was on 27 oct 2010 version, I wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset, then flashed the 14.11.10 version (without flashing the google apps), and when I rebooted I had all the google already installed, is that normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yes, it's normal, the backuptool.sh is used during CM6 installation - it backs up the google apps before the /system is formated and restores them afterwards.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mokuni:
I can verify this as well for my wifes rom. im using 10.11.08 tho, so I havnt used the one dated 14th. But having this battery problem for the past few version as well. and yes ive removed cmstat form previous rom (not 10.11.08 because it was mentioned that it was removed). but yes it gets hot, and laggy after normal use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
wrong post....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
Anyone get bootloops when installing themes on the new update?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
0.04-10.11.15 is out
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nobloat:
feeyo, who made the cronos froyo milestone rom, has seemed to make the battery life a loooottt better. nadlabak, any chance you could work with him/ask him/(steal from him :P) and make your cyanogen port even more awesome? or did you happen to do so for this newest update?

any easy explanation on how YOU got battery life better? not important, just wondering
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Thanks for the new build!

For the new ARMv7-a update, is it just exposing the instructions for programs to use or is it actually an ARM7 optimized build?

[EDIT] Also, boot.img was included in the zip.

[EDIT2] Installing this update will cause your phone to crash at bootloader. Don't install.

[EDIT]Reports of it working, so I'll retract my statements.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
bootloop at "M" with 1.000/vsel60.... never had this before... oO

will try it without oc-change.

What exactly means "power management"?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Ok, I see everyone raving about how this rom is so fast and everything, but I need to get a census on something. My phone is running at this rom's default 900MHz etc, and I'm getting between 12-13MFlops on Linpack and 1100 and 1200 on Quadrant, which is pretty decent but I'm seeing people claiming they are getting 14+ on Linpack.

In addition to that, my system on the whole is very slow and sluggish. The gallery, gmail, browser, especially Handcent, etc all take a really long time in general to open; and whenever I finish with any of those and go back to the home screen (launcher pro) it's always completely blank and take 5 - 10 seconds to redraw all the items.

Is anyone getting these issues? Should I be getting more than 13 MFlops in Linpack?

I haven't upgraded to the .14 or .15 rom yet, but when I normally upgrade I to a complete Titanium backup and then a restore after it's applied. Also, just to cover all bases, I did everything fresh the other week; wiped the system, dalvik and cache and went from there, but I still have the problems. Just the way things are going for me I'm feeling like I should just use the stock 2.2 when it get's release in a couple months. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] foreman31:
After taking off charge, usb or AC, reboot.

Apparently it is a Moto problem, the phone can`t sleep properly.

If you reboot, you will see awesome battery life
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
read the release notes about overclocking...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
I did. I also did a full GOT2.2.1 image restore before installing the update. Still had the crash

[EDIT] Not to mention, I never touched OR scripts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
with included oc-settings it is booting normal here

edit. ok, now i ve seen the new settings in 10overclock... no wonder, that my own file didn't work... so i just edited the file to 1000000 and it is booting fine :)

and i like the new auto focus camera :)

edit2. now it is running really fast an smooth here! I think, now is the right time for a donation... ;) thx a lot nadlabak!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Did you flash just the update zip? Like that's all you did? No errors when updating or anything?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
kabaldan what do you mean by "Power Manager" in the 10.15 changelog? Did battery life increase? If yes why? :P It would be interesting to know how you got it working the right way ;) Thanks!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Trying this ROM now, hope battery life will improve!

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
does this version require reboot for battery life?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
Yes, just the update and wipe dalvik cache.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Hi, need some help in getting 2.2.1 installed. Tried installing GOT 2.2.1 UK versions using RSD Lite and it fails to install. It does not do anything while clicking on start; neither does it recognize the phone. On the bootloader it just states ready for programming and nothing happens.

I am using RSD Lite 4.6. and my current version is the hacked version of 2.2 Froyo RC1 with the old kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Phone unplugged 11 hours ago, ~9 minutes for voice call, play around with the phone a little, and now battery remains 80%, quite good compare to cronos 1.5.0.

But when i checked battery use under setting menu, it said "3h5m since unplugged"!!! Any idea?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lonelywolf11:
CMCC boy？ which branh？
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lonelywolf11:
tell sth. about the 'power management'?:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
I think its about improve battery usage when phone in idle mode.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
but in 16.11.2010 0.04-10.11.16, batterymanager.apk been removed, lol
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
how about battery life for this update ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
kabaldan, I believe there might be some positive outcome from the batterymanager.apk. I am running on the yesterday buid (10.11.15) and notice somewhat better battery utilization - since 9am (now is about 2:30pm) phone has consumed only 20% (at 80% right now). On previous builds I was ~50% at this moment and usually by 8pm it is dead. True I haven't had many calls or used the phone that much today, so it could be just a coincidence.

Another thing I noticed - my phone never goes asleep (100% running in battery history) no mater reboot or not after charge. Could be an app I have that causes that - I don't know. Any idea how can I track what prevents phone from sleeping?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Batterymanager.apk doesn't do much other than defining CPU clocking profiles. You can replicate the profiles to some extent using SetCPU.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Anyone having a GPS lock with the new build? I can't get any satellites on GPS Test and Google Maps only shows a network based location (it's a few hundred feet off with an accuracy of about 50m).

I've been waiting for almost an hour and still no GPS lock, I've even left the phone on the window sill for half that time.

EDIT: Never mind my post, I went outside to an open area and was then able to get a GPS lock. No idea why it gave me such an issue inside, every time in the past it worked fine. But issue solved.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Lollipop, is there any defineable settings that go with this batterymanager.apk?

Here is something that looks as a very nice feature on Droid 2 Global: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZFUXpakOI&feature=player_embedded

Battery Manager - I wonder if it can be retrofitted in our Milestones
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Well actually I was talking about the ones that come stock with Moto (I probably got it mixed up between a DroidX I was playing with and my own phone... bleh). As with CM6, even though I installed the apk I haven't actually found it yet.

But, like I said, you can do what that video does via SetCPU. You can toggle on/off data manually (I do this myself).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Almost 1 day now, and battery remain 80%, so good, i did not reboot my phone after full charged.

I'm still getting FC when trying to change screen settings in Settings->Screen. Right after clicking screen it FC's. Is this a common problem or just me? Is there a fix for it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] harrynghiem:
Did you apply theme for this version? If you apply theme, it will be FC. When you adjust brightness
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] petyo.tsanov:
with RC4 for 11hours in standby -10% :D

best battery saving rom :))
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] M4zinkaiser:
Cyano = Simply the best :o

very impressive rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Nope, I'm using just the plain CM6 RC4, no themes or nothing else. And it FCs when I click in the Screen option, it doesn't even show the Screen settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Could you supply a logcat of the FC?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
did your guys using setcpu ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Sure, I'll read how to do it again (I never did it before) and then I'll send it to you. Thanks!

EDIT: I've download 09logcat, put it in /etc/init.d, changed permission to 755, reboot but when reproducing the screen settings FC it does not create the system_last.log in /data.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
Just installed this last night, I am very pleased with the performance so far, although something I'm noticing is that when I turn the data to 2G mode it goes back to 3G mode, i think it happens when the screen goes off

I am using the Telus Milestone with the RIL bands flashed provided in the OP.

Anything I can do?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Are you with TELUS? If so - switching to 2G won't work as Telus does not have 2G network, only 3G.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
I'm on Fido, and the Stock Telus firmware has always had no problem using 2G on fido.

I am able to use 2G right now, it just jumps back to 3g when the screen turns off
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
Look into the setting of the included 2g/3g switch app

Sent from my Galaxy Tab
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darklipslide:
I've tried disabling the Toggle 2G/3G button as well as trying all the network modes.

Every time it wakes up from sleep, it switches to 3G. I want it to stay on 2G
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] piitcher:
Im kind of new to all this, but i succesfully flashed this rom onto my phone.

Now i got the problem that i dont have android market anymore. How can i get it back?

Also the cyanogenmod's energy control widget can switch 3g/2g

There is problem with lockscreen, sometime when there is an incoming call, i cannot slide to answer, but it can be solved by press power button to turn off screen, then press power button again to turn on screen, after that i can slide to answer!

Possibly related to this?

15.11.2010 0.04-10.11.15
- [b]known issue - lockscreen, I'll look into it later[/b]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No, this [keunhuvac report] looks like the old touch screen issue 163 (kernel driver issue).

The lock screen issue mentioned in the release notes is about the lock screen not getting involved at all - power button press will unlock the phone immediately. I've encountered it briefly after 0.04 flash, but I'm not able to reproduce it anymore. But there is one report of this issue persisting (issue 219).

There are known touch screen driver issues, that can be exposed by the physical treatment of the display - those who carry the phone in trouser pocket are sometimes experiencing touch screen unresponsiveness, while those who carry it e.g. in a belt case have no issues at all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
Hmm...

How come the autofocus doesn't work for me?

I've tried the default app and the Pro zoom camera app.

Please advise

Soft Key 'Back' Button not working

Hey guys, it happened suddenly yesterday my 'back' button suddenly went nuts.

I have been using G.O.T 2.2.1 for a while now without any problems.

I tried reflashing as well as applying the Cyanogen Mod but it is still the same.

The phone doesn't do anything when i press the 'back' button is it possible the soft key is spoiled ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
full wipe/factory reset->flash 0.04 10.11.16

full charge then put the phone on standby, 7 hours later the battery goes to 80%

check the spare parts battery history, say running 100%, 7 hours without sleep
