[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Thomas_BA:
I have a Milestone in Argentina and i flashed it with Telus 3.11 which in my opinion is for now the best stable ROM. You have to manual install the 3D Gallery as it does not come wit this ROM.

From Telus you can choose to flash CM6 (i think) which in my opinion is still buggy and lot of user report problems with that or this.

Other possibility is than Telus Light 4.x or the upcoming 5.x, but includes heavy overclock.

I my self stay with Telus 3.11, de installed all the system/app crap, some boot manipulations, root, and a own theme based on Buggless Evolution. I am happy with it. No overlock, etc. as i am not a guy who plays a lot of cpu intensive games.

Perhaps i am going to improving the java engine.

Resume: Flash Telus 3.11 and from there you go.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pk2:
I'm happy with eclair v3a for now. Battery life and lack of viable camera keep me away from the Froyo roms. In my opinion regardless of what else might be packed inside, the eclair rom has some crap cleaned out of it, has superuser and overclocking and a some other bells or whistles and it all works.

Good enough for me till someone cracks the kernal or we get a real milestone froyo.

Regards, PK

P.S. I've heard this lament for other roms, why does ADW or power launcher seem jerky at higher clock speeds?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chigro:
xslntx's telus lite rom v4 is amazingly fast and stable. A hybrid rom based on euro and telus. Governed over/under clocking so battery life is good, but power is there when needed. V5 is coming out which promises to speed things up even more.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
:)

at least majority of the framework + libs are original droid libs, and is as official as it can get..

but i guess camera was always an issue, but this is soon past tence, when we get a good kernel, i might just fix a final motofrenzy before it gets officially released, as cm6 is not official, but is based on custom compiles based off android opensource.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] puffo81:
In my opinion, the best ROM nowadays is the Eclair-based EclairMOD v3B by 89luca89. Fast and stable, never a reboot! Froyo based ROMs are faster just running benchmarks, in everyday use I think Eclair is still a step forward..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dexter_nlb:
Eclair is actually a step backwards... i am fortunate to have tested a 2.1 on Galaxy S which really shows why you would chose froyo compared to a 2.1 rom.

Imagine opening 5 different apps, having 2 flash videos running in different windows and a game as well..

handling is so much so faster which is memory + froyo handling on top.

secondly for milestone, you get the option to move apps (non-rooted) to a sdcard, which is thanks to froyo too...

with all the extra froyo adds in already existing semi-2.2 roms, you simply meant patience is gold, but for some, that is already found.. i have been very happy with milestone running motofrenzy and motosense , and note: no reboots!!

but lacks camera, but i could care less, as ms camera is not worth much anyways...

with the early release of froyo 2.2 kernel, im sure you will upgrade very soon...

either official or to a custom cmX rom.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] puffo81:
Froyo is surely much better as specs, but for everyday use, 2.2 ROMs have more disavantages than avantages, starting from the camera, battery life, mobile overheating, random reboot.. I'm speaking on my personal experience, maybe I was just unlucky!

Overall speed is true, is better on Froyo, but overall I still prefer Eclair. I've tried all 2.2 roms here and no one works absolutely fine on my Milestone, as better roms will come out, I'll surely upgrade to 2.2.. but now, Eclair for me!

=)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ph0z3:
+1 @ TelusLite 4.1

tested HoNo, CyanogenMod6, EclairMod, and MotoFrenzy..

TelusLite v4.1 is the absolute fastest of them all... I realize i have over-clocks with some other modifications to the memory/kernel, but TL4.1 screamed past them all with EclairMod in second place followed by HoNo

I did all tests from a factory reset & blank install.

Current Set-up:

Android 2.1 (update 1)

TelusLite v4.1

LauncherPro 8.1 (paid)

OC - 125Mhz / 1.1Ghz @ 62Vsel

ResMod @ 1024x800 (EM add-in)

Kernel/Memory Tweak (custom)

Boot-time tweak (custom)

Mem-Hack (GOT add-in)

JIT-Beta (GOT add-in)

Flash for 2.1 (custom)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ph0z3:
first and foremost... You need to set up OpenRecovery & be fully rooted.

Then proceed to do a FULL nandroid back up. Before installing anything like roms or images, you need to to do a 100% full factory sweep!

G.O.T.'s open recovery. http://groupoften.wordpress.com/

TelusLite 4.1 thread HERE

LauncherPro HERE or DownLoad in the market.

Overclocking = MilestoneOverclock + setCPU from the market (PM for profile help)

Boot Tweak - i did myself. still testing / experimenting

MemHack - Done in the GOT-recovery menu

JIT.Beta - Done in GOT-recovery menu

Flash for 2.1 - HERE not FULLY functional, but it helps.

=-=--=

PM me if you need any further help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Niksie:
Run Quadrant benchmark. My score with Telus 4.1 without JIT : 697 points.

If our score is way better, you'll know :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chigro:
How is the stability with JIT? Uptime, force closes, etc.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AndroidXDA:
I try MotoFrenzy, GOT 2.2.1, MotoIncre, Ecclair V3b... and for me the best is Telus v5.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] PoLiThS:
Since i disabled the GPS to function i got quite good battery life from my Milestone running on GOT's 2.2.1. and the CM6 image on it.. i'd simply never change it although i know it's in alpha version still FROYO rocks!

A big miss on Eclair mods is.. You cannot send a contact via bluetooth
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] EmilianM:
what 2.2 rom has the best battery managment and is more stable ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] PoLiThS:
Generally the semi-froyo ones (bastardised 2.2) which means are based on the 2.1 kernel seem to have a better battery consumption than the ones based on the GOT's 2.2.1. kernel.. still though... i prefer the second one :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thenotdone:
Telus lite V5

VERY fast, very stable, and great overall...

having tried cyan, motofrenzy, etc.. xsltn's mod (probably butchered that) is head and shoulders above the competition.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
After playing with it for a day or 2, yes, Telus Lite V5 is almost unbelievably fast compared to stock.

Only things I dont like so far are:

1. The ugly (and slow) phone app. Anyone know where I can get the stock phone app back?

2. Battery consumption seems a bit fast, but will try to further tweak it to see how it goes.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thenotdone:
Done with root explorer:

I think the file path is something like...

sys> bin> bootscript> OC 11 or 51 or something similar (its obvious once you're in there)

Then I edited the voltages and frequencies like so:

125mhz 21

250mhz 31

550mhz 48

800mhz 56

1ghz 60

*not all phones are built the same!! make sure you do your own testing!!*

Under normal use, I easily get 2 days of battery life. In conservative use, I managed 4 days.

I am using V5, but with the sense theme applied, and with launcher pro (free version)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
I found the executable file /system/bin/boot_script/10_overclock.sh, is that the correct one? Also, after editing the values inside the file, do I just execute it again or something?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thenotdone:
Thats the one! You got it, just mount as R/W, change the values, then save changes and exit. I like to reboot the phone after changes to make sure theres no lingering old code in memory.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
I changed the 550mhz and 880mhz overclock to:

550mhz 48

800mhz 56

However I got an endless boot if I change the 1ghz (or in this case 1.1ghz) voltage value to 60, so I left it at 70. Hopefully that doesn't make too much of a difference.

What do these values in this file mean anyways, and is there some sort of guide?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thenotdone:
Its clock frequency and voltage, you want to have a safe (as in your phone isn't running hot/warm) frequency.. I personally wouldn't change the frequencies, other than that 1.1Ghz to 1Ghz. the voltages, you're trying to get the lowest value while having stability (you can actually boot, you don't have random reboots, etc).

Not all milestones are made equally, so unfortunately, the values vary with what works well (without damaging your phone).

hope this helps!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mhnx:
Try yourself roms and see what's the best for you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kreat1ve:
I'm finding Cyanagen's latest build (by kabladan :) ) to be the best.

Though I haven't tried dexter's MIUI or the official MIUI yet.

I think that CM > Cronos atm as the battery life i'm getting with cyanogen is pretty damn good
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] EmilianM:
so something change ?What is the best rom before Christmas :)?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] messer19:
I think Cronos for the battery life, now 1d 16h online and 50% batt. Medium usage.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] The Solutor:
The best rom are still the eclair 2.38 (and derivatives):damn fast, rock solid and with unbeateble battery life.

If you want to know just what is the best froyo rom, they are all fine on the latest releases, but they are (all) still plagued by the beta kernel (which is out of the cooks control) which reduces greatly the battery life.

We have to wait the official release (or a newer leak), hoping for a good work of the motorola engineers, to get some really usable froyos.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
How is it possible?? I get only one day with "medium" usage (50-60 sms, one 10min phone call, 30/50 min wifi and no 3G AT ALL with data, gps and bluetooth always OFF). My battery is 30% at the end of the day! If I don't use wifi I can also get 2-2.5 days! Is the wifi draining so much battery??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] EmilianM:
O.k perfect ,I understand ...so if I really want stability I should go with froyo...your recomandation is for witch custom rom exactly?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mardurhack:
I don't think you got it... :P He said that if you want stability and battery life you MUST choose an Eclair rom, better if the stock one! Froyo roms are all based on a leaked non-optimal kernel. My advice: flash the stock 2.38.0 and customize it (root, bash, overclock and so on). You'll not regret ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] EmilianM:
Oh ..yes....I wanted to say eclair instead of froyo...for stability... :)

I wil take at home...Thanks!

[Epic 4G General] juryduty:
Is anyone working on making a rom that allows a user to pause/skip/play music using the inline headphone controls? Seems kinda stupid Samsung has the button activate the call log no matter what app is open...
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Root and development questions should.There is a questions thread on XDA in MT3GS forum(thats where i got the idea from),it was started by administrator to keep things clean and organized and it works.Why should i or someone else start a whole new thread if we just need one question answered?
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Good question,i haven't used my earphones yet.They don't work on modded roms or stock too?
[Epic 4G General] ragnarokx:
Is it safe to remove the SD card when in Clockwork Recovery? I don't see an "unmount" option anywhere.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah i haven't had no problems with it,but you would be better of turning off the phone and doing it.Reason for that is,if you pull out sdcard while Clockwork recovery,put some files on sdcard and put it back in-Clockwork will not see those files unless you reboot the phone into Clockwork.So yeah,you can pull out sdcard while in Clockwork but you will still need to power off the phone for Clockwork to see new files.
[Epic 4G General] juryduty:
I've tried all of the ones up on this forum and they all go right to the call log when you press the button on the headphones that came with the phone. I tried using the ones that came from my Palm Pre but that didn't work either. One click goes to call log (always), 2nd click calls the top number in your call log. Long press does voice command. Doesn't matter if you have the music app open at all...
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
but if everyone posts their question inside the same thread......... it makes it harder to search for each individual question!
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
I did try asking the question in the thread of the rom but it kinda got hidden away amidst the talk of those having trouble flashing it.....

Anyway I'm looking for the stock voicemail app that came with the phone I looked in a few rom threads and found the apps theyposted as being all the removed stock stuff but I didn't see the voicemail app in any of those can anyone tell me how to get this please?
[Epic 4G General] ragnarokx:
When I was in Clockwork I pulled the SD card out, put some files on it and put it back in and it saw the new files.

How do you turn the phone off from Clockwork? Holding power doesn't seem to do anything and I don't see a power off option.
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
I've never had to turn phone off while in cwm but I'm gonna say you'll likely have to pull the battery
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
This should be general root questions or questions about the phone.If you need questions answered about rooting the phone or about certain rom than you should post it in that thread.
[Epic 4G General] namelessbanana:
Will the new update destroy my root access and if it does will I be able to root again.

Also I still have a stock kernel and I have deleted like sprint hotspot and the sprint apps
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Maybe in new version they fixed that,im gonna give it a try and see if it works on my phone,i know that in last version it did not.But yeah its safe to remove sd while in Clockwork
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
It will destroy your root if you do over the air update,if you update in clockwork then it shouldn't.?Now will we be able to reroot again after ota update?I dont know,im wondering about that myself.You should search DI18 update thread.
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
If you have removed any sprint apps the OTA won't even work. If you've not removed any and are running a stock sprint that's already rooted and clockwork is installed then there is a zip file floating around here that will allow u to just install it with clockworkmod. Other then that you CAN root after the di18 update if u decide to go the "start from scratch" route.

Personally I went back to complete stock using odin and the di07 tar file. I then rooted and installed clockwork recovery. From there I flashed the signed zip file that can also be found in a thread here (sorry for not posting links and all its not as easy when using the app but all threads are pretty appropriately titled shouldn't be too hard) that got me to the di18 and the rest is history
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Question RE: OTA updates and root

Hey guys, finally jumped ship from ATT and got an Epic the other day. Kinda funny I was running DZO's Froyo on my Kaiser and now I am back to Eclair, but whatever..it's still night and day difference!

My question is regarding updates and if I can just jump into a new ROM. I have successfully 1-click-rooted and clockworked my phone. It shows Eclair DG17, Kernel 2.6.29. I tried to do an OTA update to get latest, but phone says its up to date, even though Sprints site says an update is available and DI07 is latest..

Where do I go from here?
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
Well ur still running stock from what I gathered in ur explanation so if u wanted to get to the latest update u can grab it from Firon's thread about the "non-stock" update. In that same thread he has the file available for those that are still on stock and just simply rooted with clockworkmod (you would fall under that) once ur on that latest update you can look at the different threads for roms and kernals
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Flash your phone to stock kernel and stock rom(DG27) using Odin(factory restore)Then do sprint's ota update(make sure your phone is charged at least half way or it won't update),that should update your phone to DI17 or DI18(not sure wich one,probably DI18).

Oh,you can go to settings "About phone",System updates","Android update" to see if your update is downloading.
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Stock meaning pre-root/pre-clockwork? Those were the only things I have done. So I'm thinking I am stock. I am unable to do an OTA upgrade, before AND after rooting the phone says its up to date, but yet shows that its DG17 and kernel 2.6.29.

I was looking at THIS thread to upgrade to DI07.. I'm thinking this should work, I havent removed any apk's either..
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
Please see below for the information from Firon's thread. As you read through it you should see where he talks about the file for those who are still stock but want the latest update that being di18 and not di07 as u mentioned. Try that file though that should be all u need to get to latest update. You'll prolly have to go to that thread for clickable links.

**edit**

Newkidd has posted a cleaner thread that would help u out better then all the crap I quoted it has Firon's zip file of the latest update and is even titled di18 for stock or some**** like that. Go there grab that file and flash it. The rest should be history
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Thanks, I'm gonna try that seeing how I cant seem to get DI07 to flash anyway.. I wasnt sure if I could jump right up to 18 without first flashing 07.

Meanwhile, I still cant understand why I cant get the phone to do the damn OTA update in the first place...
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
Hmm that is strange and I'm not sure if u can make the str8 jump I would maybe ask in that thread or check in there maybe some asked already... although I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Now if you were willing to start from scratch I would go with returning to complete unrooted stock using odin and there is already a .tar file out there that will put u on the di07 update off the bat. Maybe from there things will go smoother.
[Epic 4G General] kngyn19:
Can I get some help on updating my phone? It is still running DG27 and I am trying to update it the newest build, DI18. It is rooted and I removed some of the stock apps (Amazon, Nascar, replaced Music, etc) so I can't get the OTA update.

I've tried this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032

but I cannot get Odin to pick up my phone while it is in download mode. It can find it just fine when it is fully booted, but nothing in Download mode.

Can I just do a factory reset and then try getting the OTA update that way?
[Epic 4G General] mike357:
I'm rooted with a custom rom, and I recently updated to DI18 using Firon's method. Now the OTA update has made it to my phone, and I obviously don't want to use it. How do I keep the phone from constantly asking me to update?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I don't think the OTA will work if you are two behind, but since the latest is just showing up on some phones, you might get lucky and be able to get the DI07 OTA before the DI18 shows up for you. (Whenever I see Sprint announcements about these things, they say to bring your phone in to a store if you are not running the latest version when a new update comes out).

But, if I were you and willing to do a factory reset, I would just do that. Factory reset, make sure it has DG27, then get the "DG27 to D107 Update (Original non-modified-Signed):" from the first post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785028

Rename that to update.zip, copy it to your SD, then reboot your phone into recovery mode (done by turning it off, then turning it on while holding power, vol down and camera buttons). A little text menu appears. Scroll to "apply update.zip" using the vol buttons to move up or down, then use the home key to apply the update.

That should update you to DI07. Then you can do the exact same thing again using the zip file from the first post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796885

At that point you should be fully updated and stock, and you can just use the one-click method to root again and then set things up the way you want.
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Ive been looking at and trying a lot of things to update, andd the last one has given me a 1/2 an update.. and now every time I unlock the scscreen I get a DRM Content Storage FC popup.

Still showing Baseband DG17, but now showing build as DI07. When ran update thru Clockwork, it failed the first time, then I ran it a few more times, each time I got an error, but it still updated me- I think.

I'm gonna go back to stock unrooted and start from square one.
[Epic 4G General] kngyn19:
I ended up just doing a factory reset, but it looks like the apps I had removed are still missing so it is not letting me update. What's the quickest way to re-install them so I can update my phone?

my phone continues to boot into stock recovery, and the power button has no action in the recovery menu. Please halp

edit, okay, booting update now, I guess the 'back' button is 'enter' my bad.
[Epic 4G General] jfg69:
Well, ODIN was good to me.. worked first time, updated back to stock and as an added bonus, it triggered the OTA update to Di07, so now I just need to update to latest.

It DID wipe out my root and clockwork though.

Thanks for the help guys. :D

[G2 and Desire Z General] sarconx:
Anyone having trouble with a voice mail icon that won't clear from the notifications bar. Its driving me nuts trying to get rid of it. I don't even use t-mobile voice mail :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] crr127:
ya i just connected to it and let it do it's thing. it went away after that. i use google voice so i don't use tmobile either.

so dial the voicemail number connect and let it set up. that's all it will go away.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Du22ty:
Call yourself and leave a voice mail and delete and it'll go away.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JMcMoto:
I also have this problem. My G2 is setup with Google Voice as the voicemail. I have called myself multiple times to leave a voicemail and then called the voicemail and deleted the message, but the icon remains. There is no option to clear this icon in the notification bar. I have also done some reboots, including removing the battery since HTC doesnt do a full power down with its fastboot feature.

Has anyone found a way to remove the icon other than calling and leaving yourself a message? Is anyone else still suffering from this annoyance?
