Ok but don't complain about the slowness of the interface! :P (By the way I don't like them! -_- "de gustibus"!)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merkman:
Woke up this morning ready to go back to the stock Telus ROM. Not that I don't love this ROM. Runs great and I like it a LOT! But I've been working 12 hour shifts lately, and I can't get home without my battery being TOTALLY DEAD on the Cronos ROM. And it takes an hour or more to get ENOUGH battery back for the radio to work, etc. :(

So imagine my surprise to see uninstalling 6 apps I'm probably not using may solve the issue. Gonna test my K9 e-mail app and make sure that's still working. If so, HOPEFULLY this will extend the battery life to reasonable levels. Here's hoping!!! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
I've talked with other user who did delete some system apps too and we compared lists of removed apps, the only apps that we both removed are:

CMstats.apk

com.amazon.mp3.apk

so there is no need to remove other apps beacouse maybe some functions won't work without them (I don't see any problems with apps that I use but others could have problem especially with deleted email.apk .

Author of Cronos mod is informed about this issue so maybe in next relase he will delete these apps :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Well, Day 3 with Cronos and so far its not jiving with my phone. I'm getting lots of hang ups and random Launcher Pro FC's.

I have deleted some unnessassary system apps as recommended by other posts (like the SDX wiki) and haven't noticed an improvement.

As much as I like some of the nifty improvements...I need the phone to be stable and right now...its not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
@Dwnshft either telus MM is difrent or You didn't flashed it right (or you installed not compatible app) try flashing official sbf and vulnerable recovery then wipe using all 3 methods flash cronos 1.2.1 reboot install google apps reboot use sdx app remover uninstall CMstats.apk reboot and it should work like a charm :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Ok, I can try that when I get in.

How can I back up my contact list and apps so that its just straight plug and play? I tried a contact list recovery but I found I still had to go in and clean up and then "Join" all my facebook contacts to the google contacts. Its a pain in the ass. Must be a simpler way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
I use export contacts option in contacts menu to do this. For backuping apps most of people uses titanium backup (I don't do backups this can cause instability too )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
I tried new version and did not like it too much just use orginal that i posted and delete thos unedded apps i have good battery life and its stable
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merkman:
Quick update. It's about 9 hours into my day, and so far my phone has better battery life than before. Deleting the 6 hasn't caused any obvious issues, as K9 is still doing e-mail, etc. I haven't tried my streaming music app, but I'll give that a go here in a minute.

Thank god for these forums. You guys rock!!! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jchenny:
Hi, I'm having problem opening Video directly from the Facebook App, is there any solution to solve this? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] deadsoullp:
Great Work Friend!

Finaly, my Milestone one is GREAT mobile! :D

Thanks a lot and waiting for your updates! \o/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] geooo:
So after SDX and underclock at 550mhz i still have 23 hours of battery life. WTF? it just eat's up the battery. hen i went to sleep i had 80% and in the morning i had 50%. 30% of battery wasted in not doing anything? i mean WTF?!

Oh and above all else, my wifi connects whenever he wants. Under wi-fi say's connecting... and stay's like that all day long....i dont know what do do with it. i like the "move to sd card" function and that's about all..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
try disabling Wifi, i get 2days on my milestone now, on Frenzy+Sense doing that.

(also verified with systempanel to see usage stats)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
What about just doing a nandroid backup? Wouldn't that include all apps and contacts as they appear? I did try titanium and I am now wondering if that was the root of the instability issues.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
I didn't tried using nandroid data only backup... But I can tell You how this was looking on WM, You could do a full backup using SPB Backup(or other tools) and after HR restore it with 3 clicks but IF You tried to do backup then flashed new version or another rom problems came up... So same thing in android if You do a backup of program installed on one mod it's possible that it wont work on another or can cause an instability or even battery drain... Keep that in mind most of people complaining about instabilities or battery drain hadn't done full wipe or made backups of programs... You can do a backup of contacts but restoring any other backups (even sms) can cause instabilities (if you done a backup of sms an other version of sms app i used in new mod it can crash or slowdown) and at end I'll say not all apps like to be backed up :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merkman:
Well, after removing those 6 modules from my phone, my battery life is MUCH better! A full day without the phone shutting itself off with ZERO power. Thanks for the help guys!!! :)

My remaining issue may be carrier or stupidy on my part, but I have yet to figure it out. I've done "tethering" on Windows Mobile devices in the past... connecting my phone to a laptop via BT, and using the phone as a modem. And yesterday, a co-worker needed VPN installed on her laptop. So after moving the file to her laptop over a wireless connection, I disconnected from our wireless network, and wanted to tether tha laptop to my cell, and try the VPN connection. But I couldn't get the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" to turn on... it just said "Error" everytime. And even using a USB cable to connect the phone to a Win7 64-bit OS, while I could click the USB setting and it indicated "tethered"... I couldn't pull up ANY web pages on the laptop. :(

BTW, my wireless carrier is AT&T. I use the Telus Milestone with the 3G settings working GREAT, thanks to the carrier patch through a zip file installed after the Cronus ROM, then the Google Apps. But could AT&T be blocking my ability to tether? Is there a step I could be missing? I'm at a loss.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
I'll try to test Wifi tethering this weekend with new Cronos 1.3.0 and we will see...Anyway did you tried wifi teether for rooted android devices (you can google it)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] donnydotter:
is this a root?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andikasaja:
kindly share the link for the new cronos 1.3.0. please..

thank you

people, i need help! i cannot install cronos rom, every time i try to install its says "finish" and after reboot and after getting the M logo its shutdown, what do i need to do? i did a Wipe but still its not working...i am using G.O.T 1.04 and open recovery 90.73
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blueckz:
try to 1) wipe data/factory from milestone recovery(b4 apply update.zip).. 2)shut off phone remove battery, reinsert after about 10 - 15 sec.. 3)get to GOT recovery or open recovery and install again.. 4) do a second wipe data/factory and dalvik cache wipe.. 5) restart phone..

not sure if it'll work..:p but thats what i did when i encounter that sort of prob..:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andikasaja:
thanks for the info.

trying to download it.

cheers....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
not working....i tried insatlling also CM6 and it was the same:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] XtriFe:
Hi there, the same kept happening to me (stuck at the motorola logo screen whenever i tried booting CM6 or Cronos') What you need to do is flashing a full ~100mb SBF (i tried an UK one as my milestone is the european version) and then flashing the vulnerable recovery one, then proceed as the guide says. Only then was i able to install anything from the updates in open recovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
Flash the 2.1 GOT RTEU 2.36 .sbf, with RSDLite (to have a clean 2.1 rom), then go into OpenRecovery (i reccomend the androidiani OpenRecovery, best since now) and make all 3 wipes. After that, from "Apply Update" menu, install the Cronos ROM, when it finish, apply again tha 3 wipes and the reboot...

Cronos must be installed over a CLEAN 2.36 ROM to work properly...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] noxo:
No problems flashing. Apps and Adobe Flash is working nicely. There seems to be voice quality issues calling on GSM network (EU/FI/Sonera), the Milestone caller voice can be barely hear on callee side. Callee voice is loud and clear on Milestone.

Camera app is quite awful, producing only 4:3 photos. Autofocus is working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
where can i find a 2.36 ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DonDizzurp:
CLICK HERE to try version 1.3.0. it works very, very well!​
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] teddytam3:
just switch from cm6 to cronos 1.3

first impression is stable and smooth, quicker gps/agps lock

good looking font :)

still have reboot problem but less severe than cm6

need more time to test the battery life and can't end call problem
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
OK i did it, i have 2.2!! but now Titanium Backup and other app that need root are not working!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merkman:
Quick update: Went to Chronos 1.3.0 on Friday.

Battery life was iffy, so I just installed the SBX removal tool and removed the amazon mp3 piece. The cmstats wasnt there to remove, and im leaving the other four of six not all think we should pull for now.

No tethering options here, so maybe they pulled them since they didnt work?

Nice if my battery life stablizes, but i may have to go back to 2.1. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
what is this SBX? where can i download it to?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanifh:
had exactly the same results as yours and went back to cyanogen 6 after that. plus drained entire battery in less than 8 hours!:mad:

EDIT: I had used SBX to uninstall the 6 recommended apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
again, what is this SBX? where can i find it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Just use root manager to remove
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merkman:
Nothing but trouble Sunday. Multiple device reboots using GPS in the car, data and phone seemed to quit working after a couple hours, etc. I'd suggest steering clear of 1.3.0. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Hi.I need some help with launcher pro.How can be replaced with launcher pro plus?I wanna this extra widgets.Thanx

I have a zip update file,but where it must be,so i can apply update from open recovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] commander5555:
just place zip file into sd/openrecovery/update
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
I try.OR open file and start process but then I get "status 4" error.

Thnx for help.

P.S. There is META-INF,system and xbin folders into that zip.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Has anyone noticed the portrait to landscape transitions to be a little slow with Cronos? I don't know if its the OS, the version of Launcher Pro, or the Beautiful widgets app...but over all, Cronos doesn't feel as snappy as what Telus Lite V.4 did.

I know there is a lot more going on in this OS, but I just figured it would still be pretty snappy. Is there any ways I can try to improve the speed/responsiveness??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] da_stiech:
@ Dwnshft

i got the same problem with the rotation..

i only have the Retro clock widget set and powercontrol placed and some apps at the homescreen, and mine is also a bit slow when returning from portait to landscape or reverse.

dunno why this is
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gimburg:
Fonts on Chronos are awesome! It display more rows per screen vs. native ROM.

How it made ?

By set lcd density to smaller value or by using different fonts ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Anybody know if there is a new version (hopefully more stable) coming out? I've also been getting a lot of random reboots and boot loops (which requries a battery pull to fix).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
any news???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Guess not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
He said he f up his dev system so we r still waiting...i switched to the new cm because of the new kernal but battery life sucks waiting for new cronos
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Anyone else have issues trying to instal 1.3? I tried putting it overtop 1.2 and it didn't take

I followed the instructions of unzipping the folder and putting the two folders on the SD card...but where? and then how do you apply it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] da_stiech:
you need to install it, just like you install an update.

copy the .zip file into the next folder: sdcard/openrecovery/updates

get into recoverymode, backup your current rom.

make all 3 the wipes, perform the update and again make all 3 the wipes.

reboot and enjoy!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Why wipe after the recovery??

I have tried installing it like other roms but got a "missing bitmap" error message.

Could it just be a bunk download?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] timon12:

BETA 2.2.1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dunnera:
so who tried already 1.3 out?

http://cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=376&p=16294#p16294

please post your feedback...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] da_stiech:
you get this error while updating???

i just uploaded the .zip file which i used to update to 1.3.0 so you might try out that one

Cause i'm new here i've been restricted from sending url's derictly in the post, zo just PM me, and i will give you the link
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Thanks, PM sent.

BTW, I've also noticed that in my attempts to install this ROM it seems that the wipes don't actually wipe!?! I'll do the three wipes, try the install 1.3.0 file and then reboot...but it just reboots to 1.2.1. If I wiped it shouldn't it come with some kind of error message forcing me to do a restore??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
a new cronos is on the way he is probably gunna release it today and Nadlabak heleped so damn glad they work things out yaaa:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
removed gets stuck on m logo
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
report how it is running so cronos can make changes if needed ...hope battery life is good on this :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kreat1ve:
Do you have his proper forum posting URL?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
Can i get the info on how you unlocked the bootloader? because all that optimization would be in the kernel right? :rolleyes:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
I just copied and pasted so go to his blog and ask him...the orginal version I posted works great though and battery life is fantastic
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] robertosandros:
I would assume the optimizations are done to the android source that he compiles, not the kernel source. So he optimizes the android source for milestone and compiles it, but then uses the default milestone kernel. Correct me if I'm wrong ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes, correct.. forgot this was CM6 based.. Nadlabak has his own repo, so of course is based off that one..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
so how to install it? just to flash the SBF?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
So, we're still waiting on a release for a stable 4.0 right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Yup
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Sigh...can't wait. I've tried several other ROMS over the past couple days and none of them are up to par with this. So far the only issues I have with Cronos v.3 is some random reboots, it seems to be a bit of a ram hog even when over clocked and the drivers mode apk doesn't seem to run.

Moto frenzy won't run flash and seems to still have the random reboot issues even though its quick.

Cyanogen MOD doesn't have the market and I can't seem to find a way to install it so I can get Titanium back up to restore all my apps and stuff.

The new 2.36 Telus Rom from GOT has some issues with Root Access...even though its rooted and has superuser...for some reason it won't grant Titanium backup rights. So....I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CommanderThor:
I have Cryogen 3. Nov. version and everything works for me... inlcuding market. It automaticly installed all apps i had installed on FroyoMOD wonderful:) All via market on first boot and i used it for update some times.

Cronos doesnt want to release 2.2.1 based ROM too soon, maybe he will never, as 2.2.1 kernel has issues and he has stable 1.3 ROM basedon 2.1, so whatever he does there is basicly no way, to make it more stable or battery friendly. 1.3 version wil still beat 1.4 on those grounds, if you care, i prefer features from 2.2.1:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blud7:
I don't know what you guys are doing wrong. Basically what you have to do is

1. Remove the OpenRecovery folder and update.zip from the root of your SD card, they may be there if you rooted with G.O.T. before.

1.5 Unzip the contents of your download to root of your SD card

2. Boot in Recovery and apply update.zip (You should get nice menu here)

3. Do your Nandroid backup

4. Do a wipe / factory reset / Dalvik etc

5. Install your Cronos

6. Full Boot

7. Reboot in recovery and update.zip to install (included) themes etc.

It worked fine here...except that Launcher pro crashed and I had to adb ADW across.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
beta 5 is out

beta 5 of rom is available on his official site
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
http://www.multiupload.com/LUIRCC9SO0 this one boots hoping battery life is better if anything like the last rom it should be you need the new kernal in order for 1.4.0 to work i wiped all caches and installed over cm6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chungtau:
Installed!

Seems same as CM6, see how is the battery life go!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
No no it has many more features also font is much richer speed is a bit faster too...web pages no longer lag even when flash videos r playing most important thing to me is battery life.i have a full battery now going to bed lets see what I have when I wake
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chungtau:
Thanks for your info! I will try for few days and see how it go's!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heorung:
This Rom is awesome.Battery life is a lot better than Cm6.but i have an issue : i recived a sms but handcent sms doesn't save it to its memory.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beup:
@ heorung I didnt try this rom yet but im using cm6 and i update handcent to the new version this morning and im having the same problem as you so i think the problem is with handcent and not with cronos rom or CM6, didnt have any issue before the update of handcent.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
how stable is beta 5?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heorung:
Thanks beup,so this Rom is really really good.No more browser lag and battery drain.

Common let's try it everyone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beup:
I just saw there was a new update of handcent it may resolve our bugs.

Yeah i will try this rom, did you try the latest CM6 ?

Maybe can you tell us what difference does it have between the 2 roms ?

Why do you prefer this rom at CM6 why etc ?

I have no problems at all with the CM6 except for the battery drain i dont have much time to test Cronos rom ill do it tomorrow i think.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heorung:
I tried the cm6 10.11.03 build , it's a very good Rom with lots of cool features,but the Cronos Rom has better battery life and also have all cool features of Cm6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huage:
i'm trying this new leak beta 5 version.

it's pretty good. fast, stable, everything work ok.

better than other roms what i've tried.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
Beta 5 best froyo rom i try!

Is like cyan but much much faster and stable.

I rly like it.

For me the roms rank is:

1– Cronos 1.4

2– froyomod

3– oh no

4– got

5– cyan (i like it but very unstable)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
The fps second on this rom are fantastic flash is like my laptop now and nfs shift and asphalt 5 are blazing fast no lag ...oh and no reboots so far
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
so cronos 1.4 is better then 1.5?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
i only see version 1.4 on cronos forum (had to register there first as the threads arent available for non-users)

so whats the beta5? is 1.4 the newest version? was "beta5" a pre 1.4?

okay, i see. beta5 was in the "unstable releases"-section...so 1.4 is the final i think....?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
its under the "unstable" section on his forum.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] petyo.tsanov:
how is battery life?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
How about camera in 1.4v?I have cronos on my phone and camera ui is so ugly(i think it is a stock ui).In CM is original moto camera ui...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Beta 5 became 1.4.0 they r the same ,we tested it a deemed it stable
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mxzas:
Anyone has any themes working with this ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
Ok, now I'm pretty sure is a kernel related issue. On EVERY 2.2.1 based rom (I mean, based on the GOT's leaked sbf) I've experienced the UI lag issue! The interface is quite less smooth than a 2.1 rom! But (although it could seem strange) this issue is not present on Froyo roms based on 2.1 kernel (2.6.29-omap1). I'm going to describe what happens to me: try to slide your finger on the screen to scroll a page/menu (on stock browser, dolphin hd, settings menu, whatever...) on both a 2.1 and a 2.2.1 roms. You'll immediately feel the difference! On 2.1 the UI/browser is WAY smoother than 2.2.1! And I really can't understand why! Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jeffervesce:
Good point thanks. I'm just getting into this, going to be flashing from 2.1 update 1 at some point. I have launcher pro and a host of apps installed, many of them paid apps. Was thinking of backing up launcher pro setting and apps, but guess I'll have to work things up from scratch.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] silencer51:

Can anyone post a link for version 1.4.0?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
I've been running beta 4 for a day now and i've noticed something...Feeyo either forgot to install the media dock/car dock or it doesn't work. I've also noticed that GPS hooks up much much quicker.

Does anyone know if there is a way to install/download the stock dock apk files?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bodzio-hmk:
To have Car Home install two *.apk's I've attached.

To enable dock open /system/build.prop and add following line: ro.config.dockobserver=1
