If you flash the GOT sbf you don`t need to flash the vunerable recovery.

Also, if you want to apply the latest CM update from page one, you shouldn`t need to even flash that.

All you need is the latest open recovery and place the CM-update in the updates folder in open recovery
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jabberd:
Yes, there is no Android Market, please advise hhow to install then. Thank you very much.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Hey! THANKS FOR THE REPLY! Sorry for the capitals, but I really appreciate it when someone replies :)

I DID try to only use CM. This was my first flash of the device. Previously, just used Universal Single Root. I was running Stock 2.1 with one minor OTA update. The phone CAME with 2.1. I placed the file in the root of my SD card (i.e. /sdcard/), opened recovery but could not apply the update.zip file to access the Androidiani Open Recovery. It gives me the EOCD error, meaning I need to install the Vulnerable Recovery SBF. Am I doing something wrong? I already have the new CM6 in the /updates folder and the OTA_disable script in the /scripts folder.

What's wrong? Again, I APPRECIATE all the help I could get :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
Thx for the fix about LED notification... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
ohh n i wanna ask...

what is the function [ in Cam option]

of,

Anti banding

n

Stable shot?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nolimitzz:
for all of you asking about market and all other google apps. in the first post of this thread, there is a download links section, it has a Google Apps link.

go to the link and then download the file for HDPI devices, treat it as any update.zip through openrecovery. this will get you all missing google apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] okorn_:
Well, I run the hdpi apps via update on OR but nothing happens.

Apps installed perfectly but if i press them, they wont open :(

Any idea?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
after update.... my wifi got problems again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] okorn_:
Well now im thinking...did i do something wrong installing the CM?

- Flashed 2.2.1 GOT

- Applied last 0.04-10.12.04

- Google Apps

Is that wrong?

Must i do the three wipes before applying cm??

Thanxs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CommanderThor:
You DON'T have to flash 2.2.1, and you MUST wipe DATA befory EVERY flash. But if you flashing from same rome, like 0.04-0.04 CM with different dates wipe is not nessesery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tisungho:
Hi,

Is there any option to get CM6 rom without additional apps/Settings? Such as AWD launcher, spare parts, terminal, CM Settings...

The reason is that I never use them.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] simoneser:
Simply open the .zip of the rom and remove the apps you don't need from /system/app, then flash the modified zip ;)

Or, if you want to remove the apps from the phone if you don't want to reflash, download RootManager (paid app) and go to /system/app and remove them
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tisungho:
Thanks for the tip!

How about the CM Settings?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] okorn_:
Sh*t....

so what should i do now?

Boot into OR

do the 3 wipes

apply cm

apply apps

and thats it?

thanxs again!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jon313:
Anti banding- to prevent bands that appear when filming TVs and computer screens.

Stable shot- to prevent taking a shot unless you hold the phone relatively stable for a set amount of time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razer54:
yeap, something like that :D

tell us if it's good :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Hmmm...i believe wiping data is unessary. Wiping cache/dalvik cache is what is needed. Please correct me if i am wrong...

I think we are starting to need a FAQ here...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
ah...

THX a lot...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Hey. Any tips yet on how to handle this error? I can't flash the SBF and I can't flash Androidiani without it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
Jesus, read the bloody thread dammit. You dont need to flash the vr.sbf.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
Hey guys , im having a BIG issue with cyanmod , i write my sms in spanish and when theres a word with an accent like "canción" or "físico" the sms gets divided in two :mad: i tried searching for a disable special characters in options but i found nothing , what can i do? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Actually that's not just CM. That's stock Android. Standard accents, like those found in French, are not considered special characters. Spanish, Arabic and other characters take up a LOT of Space. Just try writing a Scandinavian name! 10 messages!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
I did the responses. I did as told and simply put Androidiani Open Recovery in the SD card root, but the update would not load due to EOCD error. As Kabaldan said, if that happens, it means I need to flash vr.sbf. Otherwise, I look for alternatives. Believe me, I spent an hour searching the net and the threads before I decided to bug everyone's brain with this. Everyone has been very nice and helpful and I'd hate to abuse that. Sorry if I bothered you hefonthefjords.

UPDATE: Sorry, I'm new from Maemo. I installed an OTA update (STOCK 2.1 to STOCK 2.1 update-1) while device was rooted using Universal Single Root. could that be the problem? I unrooted but it changed nothing. Should I stay unrooted and do a factory wipe? I really wanted to do a nandroid before I did a factory wipe!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
Yes you need the vulnerable recovery or, an old firmware (2.0.1 .14 or less) to do anything with the custom update.zip.

After that be shure to put the real update (eg the cyanogen rom) in the update folder of openrecovery NOT in the root of SD.

And yes it's easier to get foryo on a N900 than on the milestone, that's the american way :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
yeah but IM SURE in stock android theres an option to disable the special character such as accents and the message is sent without taking THAT much space :confused:, im sure of it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Yet I'm sure you're wrong - there are apps for that, either SW keyboards or alternative SMS clients, but nothing in stock... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Kabaldan, how would the smartass governor work for the MIlestone? I'm just curious. Would this offer better battery life? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
What are the new Smartass governer's features?

Edit: Funny someone posted the same question will I was typing mine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You'll have an opportunity to test it soon ;)

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/4caf9153bbde1e2c6e3d70a754bca186d1edae58
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
I know that it is compiling right now, but I would like to know what Smartass is supposed to do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
sounds like the smartass will control the freq when screen off, so we dont need to use screen off profile in setcpu anymore, right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Yeah. That's what I read. I wonder what the max/min for Milestone would be, and if we had control over that value, especially based off our overclock tables? I dunno
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
sigh, I went to the trouble of compiling from git and the smartass module was not included in the update file.

Oh well I used adb to put that module on and I am trying it now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
i told you! im not crazy xD , i took a picture of my cousin's milestone running motorola's stock 2.1 , here it is:

http://yfrog.com/fximg20101205225302j

Check the "national language" option :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
kabaldan: I know you did some work getting the cpu_freqstats or whatever to work back in the day and to show up properly.

I have a question. Is this an issue for 2.2.1? Because SetCPU 2.04 shows "null" for time in state for the CPU stuff.

I think with the new smartass governor, a lot of people might be doing some testing regarding this. Especially because it caps the standby speeds.

I read a lot of issues regarding wakeup @ 176mhz. I hope this doesn't become an issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dharbot:
Hey guys,

Has anyone been successful in installing Revolution Theme for CM6?

When i tried to update framework-res it gets stuck in a boot loop.

Any pointers?

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] micr0pr0cess0r:
I have. I have small issue only, it's fc if i open brightness setting.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] micr0pr0cess0r:
1. Extract the downloaded zipfile, put the extracted folder into your phone sdcard. Say it's on /sdcard/RevolutionCM6/ now.

2. Reboot into recovery mode. Run update.zip.

3. After in the openrecovery menu, start adb shell from your pc, otherwise u can open console from openrecovery menu.

4. Run the instalation shell script in the theme folder by typing it in adb shell : /sdcard/RevolutionCM6/RevolutionOR_install.sh .

5. Reboot your android phone.

6. Enjoy.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
can't just apply it as an update.zip from open recovery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
REPORT>>>>

i try to uninstall apps that i dont use. [via open recovery]

AWD, Calculator, SparePart, Torch, Office....

but then, when reboot... ITS STUCKS ON BOOT LOGO....

something wrong???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ridsama:
I seem to remember from when my milestone was running stock 2.1 that I can switch to other IME by holding ?123 on touch keyboard, but it doesn't work with cm6 (yes i have the other IME enabled). Ideas?

Also, I miss the task manager button when you hold down home to switch apps in stock got 2.2, any way to integrate or add it in?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
Don't uninstall ADW unless you have another launcher already installed.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
About the revo theme.unzip it to root on sd card. Copy the scripts to scrip folder in open recovery, boot into recovery mode and run scripts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DrZippit:
Its where its always been... Open up your Messaging app, go to settings scroll to notification settings and enable it there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] okorn_:
Worked great, thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hes_luckey:
oooohhhhh thnx

i search it in setting
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You will be able to set any smartass parameter to value X by:

echo X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/<param>

The 2.6.32 kernel by Moto is compiled without CPUstats enabled and I haven't bothered yet to compile it as a module.

I personally do not set and use any frequency below 250Mhz on Milestone. 250Mhz seems to be the lowest safe frequency which guaranties no phone call being missed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
After ten hours of testing Smartass under my normal conditions I find it actually used more battery life. By somewhere between ten and twenty percent. But that is not very scientific since my use can fluctuate a little.

My setup is pretty stock. Default CM set speeds no setcpu app.

I set the governer from a adb shell and confirmed out was the one in use also.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] waylman:
How's everyone elses battery life? Mine has been pretty awful lately...I get about 6 hours with light useage :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
Thanks for the reply and the Android Commander link. I'm sure it'll be great once it works.

I installed on PC, pointed it to my sdk download, and it launched fine. Device not found.

Restarted phone into GOT Openrecovery, the PC detects the device as Android ADB interface and installs driver successfully. However, Android Commander is still Device not found.

EDIT: I should add I'm 7 Pro 64-bit.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scores87:
does flash player work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
Might I also humbly suggest that someone who knows how to package updates for Openrecovery could please package these Telus RIL files up into an Openrecovery update.zip which seems to work fine for other patches. That way for those of us either too dumb or too unlucky to get adb debugging working that we would use CM6 on our Telus Milestones...

please?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
I make some minor tests, but apparently the answer is yes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstech:
Awesome work with this.

I've not had any reboots with this. I had thought I lost my tab at the bottom of the screen but figured out that I must have swiped up or down which changes the menu tab the bottom. :)

Camera auto focus works great!

It seems very stable. The only thing I noticed is that it's missing Swype. Is there anyway we can patch this to include Swype?

BTW, the normal ability to move apps to the SD card works great and also flash is working fine after I installed it from the app store.! Nice!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
Try this one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
yup i have the same problem by fluke it worked once dunno what i did on that restore....also i cant install any apps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Flash works perfect.

Issues I have is A-GPS is a no go and sporadic reboots like once-twice a day. So far the a-gps is really annoying but still haven't made me turn back to 2.1. I love the new camera application (simple and effective) and new mail/contacts/calendar integration. Exchange activesync has moved a big leap forward supporting calendar events, there is now one calendar for all accounts (not like before - two).

In general all things I use work (inclusing Cisco VPN which for whatever reason does not show up in Market (I installed it via apk downloaded from google code.) Making a-gps working will make make me completely happy!\

Edit: I just noticed the hotfix about GPS in post #1 (Sorry!) Had to manually apply it as GOT recovery didn't for whatever reason. Now gps fix seems fast, but I will confirm tomorrow once I get into the car (with moving car GPS without assistance is painfully slow, while if assitance works, it locks in seconds). So I will confirm tomorrow.

The APN settings in the XML for my operator (Rogers), are semi-right if I can say so. There are too many redundat APN's created. I have fixed them out and left only the right ones (and corrected them a bit). If GPS fix turns out successful after tomrrow's test, I will post the part of the apns XML about Rogers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Make sure you also have latest motorola drives installed so ADB interface driver can be recognized. Here is a link to them. From Android SDK you only need 3 files: adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and adwinusbapi.dll
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
How convenient!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
Thank you! It IS very convenient. However, and this is probably not your fault, it didn't get the radio working. The first time i was coming from 2.1. I wiped all caches and data, restored CM6 and then immediately, without rebooting, ran the RIL update. it was successful and upon reboot CM6 booted this time showing signal strength. However, there was no "H" icon with activity on it at all and I had no data or phone working. I tried running the update again and now it's just back to no service no signal again. Any ideas?

EDIT: Rebooting the phone does get me back to showing signal on the notification bar but I still have no service.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
kabaldan, I am attaching one of these files which used to play fine until CM image for testing.

Issue is not big deal - I simply converted all tones I use from AAC to MP3 and life is good. But if issue can be solved - why not?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
That's possible because I was only using the USB drivers from the SDK. Unfortunately for some reason the download link doesn't work now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] springah:
holy hell, it runs awesome on me aus optus milestone.

thanks!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
UPDATE: I can confirm that in order to make adb shell work you must have your Motorola USB drivers installed, not the Android SDK usb drivers. Adb shell is now working for me once I installed them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jregehr:
UPDATE: Now I've started over with a complete wipe again and with the adb shell working used that method to copy the files. I get a signal bar, my phone works, but there is no data at all. Are there other settings to be made for us Telus users?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walterddr:
Hi,

Everything works fine..

except a little more battery consumption.

but the wifi is not working with DLink devices.~~

anyway it works on 2.1 with a bugfix..

The Wifi just go.. (Connecting to network --> Disconnected)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GlitchZero:
You have to add the Telus APN settings and make sure you register your phone to the Telus network, then everything should be working.

Hello to everyone.....

Does anyone have resolved the problem with "memhack"???

The dalvik-cache moving to /cache doesn't work properly i think....

So is there any solution????

Edit: Here is a very very strange thing.... I'm using this ROM for 4 days now, and as all users I had battery issue... BUT last night I've charged my Milestone and from 08:00 this morning until now (14:30) I have always open the Bluetooth and connected to Bluetooth handsfree. I have made about 1 hour calls and about 30 minutes web browsing over WiFi... And guess what... MY BATTERY IS STILL AT 100%... So what's happening??? I don't know what to say and what to believe...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Minutourus:
For the Droid right but for the Milestone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vlad.obada:
Is there anyway to set in which folders does Gallery app looks for pictures. Or at least unlink the Picasa ones from the app?

Right now I have everything from OR boot images to what ever bitmaps of other apps reside on the memory card. A bit frustrating.

Also, the camera and gallery apps are unstable (at least for me). Lots of FC and freezing - 3 out of 5 tries end up in FC the app.

Maybe it`s time to wipe & clean install?

(using 0.04-10.12.04 at this time)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Drop a file called ".nomedia" (don't forget the dot at the beginning, the content of the file doesn't matter, it can be empty) on the folder you don't want included in the gallery. The folder where you drop this file and all its subfolders no longer will be included in the media scan, which effectively means that media (pictures, movies, music) won't show up on media applications (gallery, music player, etc.). Use with caution because it may cause unintended behavior. It's safe to use it on the OR folders though. Some OR mods already include it, in fact. Also, you'll probably have to create that file using some file manager on Android, because Windows normally doesn't let you create a file named with a dot in the beginning.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
People who get very good battery, do you never sync mail, facebook, twitter?

I see that as the only reason. I sync gmail (push), and facebook/twitter are 1 hr synced. Beautiful Weather is 3 hr. However I have toggle 2g on, but even then after 12 hrs or so I have only 40-50% left. This is with MINIMAL USE. No surfing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
What other apps do u have running? my batteri stats are about 24 hours with music listning, tapatalk, sms, calls and emails. about 30-50 sms, 1-2 hours call and 10 emails a day

i have all of these sync :)

and i listen music with my phone too
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kagex:
And how old are ur battery? I have 2 one is 8 months old and holds 24 hours, the new one which is 1 month old holds about 30 pluss hours
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
any extra info about this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I bought phone in late Feb.

I only jumped on the Eclair mods in July and I quit work by Sept so I can't really gauge usage anymore now that I don't push exchange email all day long. However, it should be better now that I use it less. I used to end with 30% or so by 11pm.

But I don't see battery life as better now that I use 2.2. I think the last 2 months have been a blur with school and what not, but I'd say 2.1 battery would end me with at least 40% at the end of the day. 2.2.1? Worse. I now have work where I use airplane mode for anywhere from 4-6 hrs a day and it's still draining like a mofo. I can lose 20% or so in that 6 hrs which I find steep. If 20% => 6 hrs, then that means I can only max out at 30 hrs. And with regular syncing, I'm usually on track to hit 0 by 20 hrs.

Could be my battery, but I expect it to be at least like 85 -90% of original health AT LEAST. I haven't even done 300 charge cycles yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rpgman:
I had the issue 270 today (Battery shows an interrogative point - Not charging!)

What did i do : a little angry birds before bed time, then all night in sleep mode, in the morning bt listening music for 30 40mn, activate sync in background, gtalk => i decide to put in charge with usb@work, then i think i reboot the phone (old habits :p) something strange happen a little later, i took the phone in hand and it was a little hot in the back but higher than battery, i asked a co-worker => same thought. I looked in notification area : "?" for battery ... i checked at setting on battery level : 100% ^^ Don't remember if reboot or not the phone again, i went swimming at 12 then at lunch, and after that a little before a meeting : phone like dead ^^ no way to see something at screen, i push power button : nothing happens :p (put out battery, back but nothing too) 2h later i plug the phone in usb again : the light come :) and at 5% i think android boots up and the phone charge slowly on usb

2 days ago i updated the last build, i put overclock from script to 750 MHz, put conservative mode, all from OR (the one with a lot of color)

first time something like that happens.
