This is based on what reports?

G.O.T. OR is just an older version of Skirlax_CZ's OpenRecovery, with added scripts by G.O.T.

I see no reason why not to use the latest Skrilax_CZ's OpenRecovery, it has great new feature - built in console, which comes very handy.

I'm sure that G.O.T. will also upgrade their OR clone in the future, so it will be based on the latest OR too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divine3155:
i guess for froyo ROMs, u can use Skirlax_CZ's OpenRecovery. but for rooting and app2sd, it would be good for beginners to use G.O.T. for the partition portion and app2sd as it is hassle free.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mael5trom:
i would have to chime in and agree here, when i was initially trying to install motofrenzy i bricked my phone multiple times for no apparent reason, i read everything, and did everything right, i eventually gave up installing it, i managed to get it flashed about once it possibly 15 tries (flashed as in, made it past motorola logo), using open recovery. i later used G.O.T recovery and have never once had an issue. im a bit hesitant to go back to it if its gonna start failing to load backups when im away from home, maybe i just had a bad version, i think it was 1.04 or 1.05.

anyways i realise i havent posted much(at all) but i just thought u might be interested, i have read of this happening to others. its probably a non issue, but anyways.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Let's not turn this thread into a discussion about OpenRecovery.

As you might have guessed, I have a reason why I try to enforce usage of OpenRecovery 1.37 or newer when using the CM6 port - multitude of scripts in the G.O.T. clone when used on CM6 will render the system unbootable as it would not honor the CM6 startup scripts.

That's why I haven't included the nandroid.md5 file (separate system.md5, bpsw.md5 and boot.md5 are in use in OpenRecovery 1.37).

If anyone has any issues with OpenRecovery, he should provide the valuable feedback to Skrilax_CZ.

Completely wiped my milestone + dalvik, applied the 12/27 update and charged my phone from about 30%. It charged right up to 4160mV, which I figure is about right due to lost capacity.

Smartass governor is still not working properly for me. Changing interactive to smartass will result in the default 2nd highest step (700mHz) to still not be used. Don't know what to do

Hey guys, I'm from the HD2 place and done flashing my HD2 to Android 2.3

Now I'm helping my aunt with her milestone and from what I see, it is competely different to how it works with a HD2.

Anyone can help me with this?

Installation:

- use OpenRecovery Apply Update menu to install the zip copied to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates

- data wipe/factory reset is highly recommended when you are upgrading from another rom/firmware or from 0.01/0.02 to the current version

- the included RIL files are for the European frequencies, if you are in Canada, US, Lat Am or Thailand, you will need to replace them to get 3g working

Are these all the steps needed to flash this ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zencooler:
Yes! Exactely as it's stated :-)

Good luck.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
Jees...HD2 already has 2.3...I can't believe we're still fighting with a buggy 2.1...Because even the stock one isn't bug-free...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
With love from Motorola.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Anyone knows how to underclock? The stock is 900mhz with 60vsel. Would want to underclock to 800hmz with 56vsel. It seems that battery dies off fast with my usage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dennisaur:
i updated to this today and when i plug the phone into my pc via usb, i no longer get the screen with the little android guy that says "turn on usb storage" or something like that. is that just an option somewhere?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
There should be a notification in the notification bar,

It says "usb connected", tap that and select storage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evenelia:
sometime the screen freezes with the same picture on and the only thing i can do is to remove the battery..

edit: srry wrong thread. I thought it was the miui thread
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Yeah man, this sucks. it's unforgivable!!!!

EVEN NOKIA N900 HAS ALREADY GINGERBREAD RUNNING PERFECTLY SMOOTH!!!!!

Sorry for shoutting but Motopuff makes me sick!!!!!

POWERED BY MILESTONE
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
Yeah but as far as I know there's no phone function making this useless.

I'm almost bummed I traded my N900 with a Milestone. Oh well..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Stenlius:
Updated to the 27.12.2010 version - smartass governor still not using the 700 MHz frequency - just 250/500/900 MHz - anyone with a workaround?

Is there any point using setcpu profiles along with the smartass? I'm generally using Screen off profile with 250/500 MHz and conservative governor, just wondering?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
The phone works.

Was not working on the first releases of froyo (n900 got the first froyo release the day afrer froyo went out)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Mmm, since last update, I have had 3 random reboots....

And what about battery drain? I lost 20% in 2h, no wifi.

Only read email, news and chat a bit.

I put in my new original battery and fully charged it overnight with the wallcharger.

Cpu set in recovery to 250/500/750/1000.

Any suggestions for better batterylife? Just to make it 1 day...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
Hey, Im having the same issue as well. I just moved to Cm from stock, and the battery drain is overwhelming. Earlier, i used to go 2 days before the battery drined off completely. With CM, I can hardly get past 8pm, after an entire nights charge, with the battery pull method too.

Is there a fix to this ?

Also, I kinda loved the Milestones original stock camera interface. Is there any way that I can use the stock camera interface intead of this one on CM ?

Any help would be apreciated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
the battery drain problem has gone for me in the latest rom.

i also did that thing where you run the battery to dead then remove it from the phone, plug the phone into the wall with no battery till you see the "?" and then plug the battery in and let it charge overnight.

as of a minute ago i had 30% battery left with 22 and some odd hours used with wifi and gps on that whole time with some 3g useage, some angry birds, lots of facebook/browser use.

i am using the bog standard overclock settings and i have turned all my previous overclock profiles in setcpu off.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
According to nadlabak, the algorithm to calculate what frequency to use is not optimal for our phone, hence the governor doesn't use 700mhz. There's no workaround other than using another governor.

There's no point in using setcpu as well since smartass also has options for setting the frequency while the phone is sleeping.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jiffyspace:
Hi folks! Happy new year!

I have a little problem here.

Since I flashed the current CyanogenMod 6.1.2 yesterday the Echolink-App is displayed only on half of the screen. See screenshots: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/5182523/1/echolink bug?h=35d373

Others did report that the error does not occur in CyanogenMod 6.0 .

Any ideas if this is solvable in any way?

The developers of the app say sumarized: "Not our problem..."

73!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
Seriously, This battery drain issue is annoying. Canr get over 9 hours on the damn phone. And is there a way to change the camera interface ? Like a default apk installation or summin ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TamirMeiri:
Can't connect to WPA2 WiFi Networks

Hi guys,

Since I installed the latest 6.1.2 update, I still can't get to WPA2 secured WiFi networks.

Any solution?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
you're not the only one. I already posted informative post about this issue in several threads but no modder confirmed or denied its accuracy-

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9783007&postcount=2005
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
@TamirMeiri I think the phone can only do WPA2 with AES which is what I have set on my home network. I dont think it does TKIP or AES+TKIP.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
This is not true as I've used the exact specific setup for the whole 2010 using dd-wrt on my router. Even so, I tried all possible setups (even wpa2+tkip & wpa2+aes). nothing worked for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TamirMeiri:
Doubt it.

Used to work perfectly with my carrier's original ROM.

Only after I have installed CM, I could not get connected to the network.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
WPA2+TKIP working well here since first release. dlink

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fe3zan:
im from malaysia..which kernel should i flash?sum1 help me pliz..thanx!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
To ensure the full battery charge....

Charge until 100%, then disconnect from the power supply,

shutdown (not reboot) and power on the phone again (you should see 70/80/90%).

Plug it again . And charge until the true 100%.

After that the phone should be charging and discharging normally until is completely dead. In that case repeat the above procedure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Not true. I have never had a wifi issue with my phone and i use wpa2/tkip. I have a juniper wireless 5gt with the latest screenos version updates.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carrotgao:
Hey guys, anyone knows why im lagging bad after using this rom?

Its my first time rooting n getting tis rom, not really sure if its the rom problem as i didnt had any lags previously.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
Yeah, bro. Done that. Always do that. I also do the battery pull thing. Still no avail. I think ima gonna stick to Stock Rom. I can manage with applications on phone memory, and less features, but what do I do with an amazingly updated ROM, and a discharged phone ??? Gonna give it one more day. If I dont make it through, this ones out !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
I'm seeing MANY Version of the Battery Pull Out Trick (henceforth: The Pull Out Technique :p ). Can you confirm the exact one or two methods that fully work? I tried a few without results. Thanks. I also want to add it to the FAQ.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
I have a small yet really annoying problem: When I turn the screen off, it doesn't get locked. It just turns off. It then takes quite some time until it finally, truly locks. And that means, I can't put the phone in my pocket because pretty much every time I do so, I touch a button, the screen goes on and my phone does all kinds of things.

I've tried the settings under menu>cyanogenmod>surface> timelimit for screen lock / off

Doesn't seem to have any influence.

So, is it a bug or can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kakyoin:
do you mean: settings > CM Settings > User Interface >

Screen turned off delay

?

have you try set that to immediately?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kakyoin:
i am using CM6.1.2-0.05-10.12.27

it seems that while charging the milestone using the AC charger (maybe USB cable is the same), the phone doesn't switch off the screen like it used to do, is there a way to set it to turn off?

thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Urgh, I just got at least 5 auto reboots in one hour, anyone knows what's going on? This is getting kinda annoying.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
Hey, yes, that's what I meant (translating from the German UI ;)).

But I've found the solution. And yes, user error. That and imo a bad En>Ger translation of the CM menu there. A "direct" German-English back-translation would go something like this (faulty expressions intentional):

Screen lock settings

--------------------

Time limit for screen lock

- Delay until activating the screen lock

---

Time limit for off

- Delay until deactivating the screen

From what I realized now, that's wrong:

1st setting: delay between screen off and screen lock when screen times out (according to the setting under Settings>Display>Display-Timeout)

2nd setting: delay between screen off and screen lock when screen is manually switched off (using the power button)

So a fitting German translation could be:

Verzögerung der Bildschirmsperre einstellen

-------------------------

Zeitlimit bei automatischer Bildschirm Abschaltung

Zeitlimit bei manueller Bildschirm Abschaltung
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
If you can, please submit the translation correction to the cyanogen gerrit review:

Edit: Err, or did not. Let's see...

Edit2: Argh, quite excessive just for some translation issue feedback. I've tried for over an hour last night but seems I'm too stupid for this whole Gerrit, Github, repo, CM review process. Sorry kabaldan :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
With this latest rom I've been getting random reboots also. Seems to happen when the cpu is under load.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] RazielSerafine:
Anyone else having problems with the touchscreen? Since the last update it doesn't take my inputs as exact as before. When in press and hold an item it jumps left and right, same wenn scrolling a page and keeping a finger on the screen. Jumps up and down. Didn't have this before when 4 multitouch inputs were possible. Would love to have my 4 fingers multitouch back, or just a working multitouch, games don't make much fun with this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I've notice that too. It seems it has a worse sensitivity, sometimes when I'm scrolling down the launcher menu (using launcherpro), the menu goes back to the top when I take my finger of the screen (either scrolling fast or slow). And this happens when not connected to power and holding the phone in my hand, so the explanation of the screen reference level shouldn't apply as I'm "grounded" to the phone.

Lockscreen gesture sometimes fails to unlock the screen much more in this version and I'm guessing it's from this problem too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
Hi, this is my first post on this thread.

Very good ROM, I installed yesterday and I'm just one problem, I can not connect the milestone on any computer, appears a removable disk, but can not access the disk. I must reinstall the ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TamirMeiri:
Try to turn off USB deubgging, and also scroll down the menu when connected thorugh USB, and pick "Access Memory Card"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
I tried that but still having the same problem when I click on the disk on the computer I get the message: "Insert a disc on drive E:"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I used to see this in the GOT sbf and some other versions, where even after setting to Memory Card Access it would map the drive but tell to insert a disc. This happened because after setting the USB access type, another screen would come up to select to mount/dismount the SDCard. It used to show something on the notification bar, check if it isn't something like this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
I do not know if I understand very well, but have no other screen asking to mount or dismount the SD card, so it stays in the Memory Card Access all the time, and I still can not connect, I think it might be some problem with the driver that I'm using, it's weird ....

Brazilian Portuguese:

Não sei se entendi muito bem, mas não tenho nenhuma outra tela pedindo pra montar ou desmontar o SD card, ele fica no modo Memory Card Access o tempo todo, e mesmo assim não consigo conectar, acho que pode ser algum problema com o driver que estou usando, é estranho....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Stenlius:
Just took 2 pictures and have the feeling that the camera quality is downgraded in latest 27.12 ROM compared to 22.12 - outdoor in moderate to good light the results are not good at all - 5 mpix, super fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] antonyfl:
Any news on that new market being pushed in?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
I reinstalled the ROM, but had no success with the problem of access to the SD card, please, if anyone knows the solution let me know, because that is my single problem with this ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
For a while (not sure since when cause I didn't check often) rebooting the phone after disconnecting the charger doesn't help and the phone still doesn't sleep (running -> 100%). Didn't use to have this problem. I'm using the latest version. Anyone else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nirvana2506:
about the battery drain: I recently found out, why my milestone had the battery drain bug...everytime I updated my phone, I always overclocked within the OR menu (androidiani version)..this had the side effect, that the cpu never went to deep sleep mode (at least my phone didnt)..I flashed everything again, overclocked by changing the 10overclock file in /etc/init.d/ and everything works fine now...I get now at least 2 days with my specific usage...but this whole solution works fine for me, no guarantee for everyone else...now I can also see more than 2 battery usage entries in the menu...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
This cannot be the cause of the bug because i have never used OR to overclock and still had the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nirvana2506:
it worked for me and I can reproduce the bug on my milestone..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Simple solution: Overclock manually and don't use OR to do the job
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
If you could explain how we can do this step by step it would be great..!

I too want to overclock my Milestone to 1/1.1 GHz and can't through OR..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
Hurrrrrghghghghg.

Method of overclock is not the cause of the battery problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
This is a good guide to playing with the overclock file.

My prefered way is to edit it straight from the phone using root explorer (purchased from market).

Steps:

Navigate to the folder with 10overclock file

Just click on mount filesystem as r/w

And then long press the file and choose edit.

This avoids adb and the push/pull altogether...but this is always good info to know. Anybody messing with android should understand adb and fastboot.

Another possible method is to use a command line terminal and edit the file manually (su foor root, mount filesystem as read/write) and edit the file.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi, and thank you very much for your answers. You were both very informative.

Good thing then, I am a Linux user, Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, so no problem as I am using gedit!

I will try to overclock today.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
Can anybody help me to connect my milestone to a computer using USB data cable?

I tried everything, but not have success
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vagelisda:
It should just connect,you don't have to do anything special,just pull down notification bar and select sd card mount,or something like that,i don't remember how it shows in english
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
I've done it, but unfortunately does not work, the drive appears on the computer, but I can not open it, when I click on it appears to msg me to insert a disk into the drive.

It seems to me that only I am facing this problem, already installed the ROM 2 times, I tried to connect to multiple computers, but nothing worked. :(

Please someone help me!!!!! :(:(:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shreyas99:
Had the same issue. If you have a SD card reader, put the memory card in the reader and format it, then try connecting. Else, try formatting the drive you see, by right clicking on the drive and choosing format. Happens quite a lot of times, due to custom roms using ext2 partitions. Try formating your card whichever way possible, and reconnect. You should be good to go.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.netti:
I did not know that this ROM was using ext2, my SD is not formatted or partitioned for ext2, but I'll do what you said, You were the only person who gave me an idea that had not yet done.

Thanks buddy, if any success I post here. :D:D:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] slym84:
Is there any chances of applying themes??? I really want to have the Gingerbread theme..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I don't know if the formatting will help...but this ROM doesn't use ext2 by default at all.

Actually, I don't know if any major use for ext2 since APP2SD has been superseded by the Froyo version (install on memory card).

Somebody could correct me, but I tried most of the ROMs in this form and my card has never had any ext2 filesystem on it.

I would say something else is wrong unless you KNOW of a ROM/App that messed with your SD's filesystem.

Are you sure your MOT drivers are installed correctly? Did you choose MEMORY CARD ACCESS from the pull-down notification on your milestone after the connection?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Added 1st draft of FAQ to the linked page

Hi all,

I took a crack at the first draft of a FAQ to remove some of the clutter here.

Was there another draft floating around? I know a few ppl wanted to take a crack at it, but I could not find anyone who had put pen to paper.

1) Please...regulars...go take a look. I did it QUICK and DIRTY to have a starting point. If you don't want to register for the wiki, just PM or post in my direction. I don't mind being maintainer, but I don't know the finer details of some of the bug/fixes. My CM6 experience has been pretty awesome and trouble free...so I may have gotten some of the stuff wrong.

I tried to keep it general and high level. The more detail we post, the more disagreement we may have.

I am looking for :

a) more common problems and common solutions

b) authoritative sources/links for my responses. I just winged it by memory and didn't have time to search this thread

c) Confirmation that what I wrote is truely valid. I use the word consensus a lot, but consensus is a funny thing: it doesn't appear in the same way to everyone!

2) Kabaldan, could we link DIRECTLY to the faq? The link on your 1st post is to a portal page...I am afraid some ppl wont click through.

3) Thanks to everyone here that helps others here. I am trying to give back a bit. I got a lot of help from these forums...
