hi

i installed version 1.7 on 1.6.1 without any problem

the first thing i'v seen is the superb speed and smooth that i havent seen in any rom !

i have a problem with gingerbread theme by luca .it installed well on version 1.6.1 but on 1.7 it cause boot loop

how can i remove launcher pro ? in 1.6.1 it was in manage apps but in 1.7 it wasnt

sorry for my engilsh :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] harrynghiem:
You can remove the launcherpro by two ways:

1. Using the root explorer. To navigate system/app and delete it. you must click Mount O/R on the top before you can delete anything.

2. Using the Titanium backup to uninstall it

==> You must install other launchers before you delete launcherpro to doesn't be FC.

Good luck
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hes_luckey:
battery life is to short !

i decided go back to 1.6.1

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Both RC1 and RC2 are problematic.

RC1 gives you repetitive M boot. RC2 installs, but camera and market FC.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
yes i know gunna wait until its worked out
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
new one with working market and cam will be up later today...in a hour on official site
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
new one updated on first page it is now working..problem was he left a file from htc in there that screwed with those who had ext2 thats why it worked for some..:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
You have to install themes compatible with the ROM. If you see Luca's post, you will notice that he says specifically not to use his themes with other ROMS. I guess you just got lucky the first time. ;)

Wait till someone ports the theme for 1.7.0
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
1.7.0 final works awesome. Finally, i can start updating my themes for this awesome ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
Links to the themes please!!! Oh great themer sir! :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I am out of station at present. Will be ready in a couple of days.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lapy:
Is anyone getting a slow GPS fix with this ROM? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Galaxy S theme

Thanks buddy, but i am not much of a themer. Just try to make my spare time usefull.

This theme contains a few themed apps and the latest themed launcherpro ( 0.8.2 ). Also contains Galaxy S fonts. Remove the fonts folder from the zip file if you want to continue using Feeyo's default fonts.

Procedure

: Copy zip file to Openrecovery/updates and apply. wipe dalvik/cache before and after applying theme. Change your date , clock and notification ticker color to white from settings/cmextra.

what do you guys think about the improvements from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0? I dont really want to have to reload everything on my phone again, unless 1.7.0 is totally worth it. Thoughts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
In my case - I've updated from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 and wiped only cache and dalvik - everything is safe on phone, no need to wipe data. Update is worth installing - next speed improvement I've seen on my phone.

Cheers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
so just put the update on my sdcard and then go into recovery and wipe chache and dalvik and then hit upgrade to 1.7? that sounds way 2 easy lol

if thats all i do will it cause problems?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
yup. That's all you need to do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I've been convinced by my friend to switch from CM6 to Cronos. And do I did! And I am truly amazed at the speed of Cronos! I kept asking him, "Why is it so fast and yet CM6 cannot achieve it?" And he told me, "Cronos has hacks!" Haha!

Seriously why so fast?! :D

Thanks Cronos! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
My gps is not working on this rom anybody else?cant use google maps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
My gps works awesome. Locks in about 10 sec. I use it with Motonav. I don't use Gmaps becoz Gmaps navigation is not available in my country. So i remove Gmaps app before installing the ROM. so can't comment about it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
Hi,

I am migrating from CM6 to and Cronos seems untill now a good choice.

I have some issues:

- How do I change Cronos's font? It seems it is bold and when I change it to Pt_BR (my native language) it becomes a bit weird. I mean all the fonts are bold. I'd like to put it as froyo's default font (like that we find in the other custom roms).

- Is there a way to I change widgets size without pay? :)

Performance is OK.

Now I am testing the battery's life.

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
My wife's Milestone has had problems since day one.

Eclair rebooted the phone spontaneously a few times a day. Calls couldn't be picked up (freeze) and connections got disconnected while talking.

So I went to 2.2 and CM6. The rebooting ended, but the freezes were introduced. Then I went to 1.6.1 and still problems with random freezes, disconnects etc. Could the origin of this problems be Launcher Pro? Or one single setting? Anybody else here with comparable problems?

I'll try updating to 1.7.0 soon but I have no more hope. My wife hates the phone by now and is not very interested in updates where she loses all data.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I don't know about you, but i have not had a single reboot or freeze with any of the cronos ROM's. Version 1.7 is simply superb. Try it out. Maybe it works for you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Hi, did you experience these problems on stock OS or other custom roms?

Do you know btw if it's possible to upgrade from 1.6.1 to 1.7 without wiping?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Just cache and dalvik - I've written it in this thread, a page earlier.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I have had a few lags and very occasional reboots with the GOT 2.2.1,CM6 & MIUI, but none with cronos. It may be the way my phone is set up. It may be different for different users.

I don't OC. I am happy with the default settings. That could be one reason for not having reboots.

Just wipe dalvik/cache to upgrade from 1.6.1 to 1.7.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Ow sorry, missed that one. I hate asking unnecessary questions :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
Yeah, almost everything is pretty good. Performance, Battery, Launcher Pro.

But the camera is very very bad :(

It really needs care asap!

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
For those who had the same problem than me:

Install the camera.apk from another froyo custom rom.

I fix my problem with that.

Now it is near of perfection :)

BTW, the the original project's page should be in the main post (the first).

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
can you attach the apk you used for the camera? i would love to try it out because i have a lot of camera problems.

What isn't recording? The 1.7.0 version of the new one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
Yeah I am running the version 1.7.0.

The record function of the camera is not working.

Does it work for you?

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Haven't tried it yet, it's my wifes phone so I can't try it.

But if you are using 1.7.0 then YES, your camera is kaput and you have to install the new version that I mentioned in the previous post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
yea I could understand it lol

I've already installed and I say "yea, the record function does *not* work", hehe!

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
aha, NOW I understand. Ok in that case I'll advise you to post on the cronos-project forum as The Maker himself is posting there
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
Ok, I will do it.

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
-Coming from CM6, can you get away with just dalvik/cache wipe? I'd love not to lose data?

-Is the camera & GPS working or do I have to load one from another rom (never done it)

Regards, PK
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The camera works perfectly for me. All functions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:

Put it to record then shake it, lol.

Anybody had problems connecting with some wifi-routers?

I have a DIR-655 at home and before using CM6 and then Cronos it connected ok. But since flashing CM6 for the first time it wasn't able to connect anymore.

Connecting to other routers (at work for example) does work.

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Eric
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brenobf:
Here the process I do to Install custom ROMs on milestone:

1) Install a vulnerable SBF (System boot File) using RSDLITE

The latest version (w. RAMDLD 90.78): http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzjmmrvwkz

2) Install OpenRecovery (there are many, I use androidiani http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery).

3) Put the ROM's ZIP and Google Apps pack inside /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates

4) Run OpenRecovery (OR) and choose Wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik Cache

5) Run OpenRecovery (OR), choose Apply Update, Run the ROM's ZIP file (you can run google apps pack before) then quit.

To install another ROM before you made it once, you must follow steps 3 to 5.

That's it.

apps2sd

Hi,

yesterday I have installed cronos 1.7.0.

It all works only I am not sure of the apps2sd function.

I have set in cm extra menu that all apps should be installed externally.

I have installed apps, they look fine.

After a restart de widgets cant load.

Should I do something extra to make it work ? format the sdcard or is that done automatically?

Please Help.

How to overclock Cronos Froyo 1.7.0

1) Google search and download and install Root Explorer

2) Launch Root Explorer

3) Go navigate to the following path of your phone internal storage (not SD card)

/system/etc/init.d/

4) Inside the init.d folder, there is a file called 10overclock

5) On the top righ side corner of Root Explorer, press the button 'Mount R/W'

6) Long press on the 10overclock file and select 'Open in Text Editor'

7) To overclock, u just need to change some parameters in that text file to something like my own overclock settings below.

I have set mine to run at 900mhz on 56 vsel. Below is my own settings.

echo 56 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel

echo 900000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate

echo "5 900000000 56" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "4 700000000 46" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "3 550000000 30" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "2 250000000 18" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

#echo "1 125000000 32" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "0 900000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo "1 800000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo "2 550000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table

echo "3 250000" > /proc/overclock/freq_table

8) Once done, click on the menu button and select 'Save & Exit'.

9) Do a reboot and the new overclock settings should have been applied.

Those of you who don't like the looks of the AOSP Camera can try using this one. This is for Cronos 1.7.

I made this after i was inspired what i saw here . If anyone needs that look, let me know.

Procedure

Copy the attached zip file to Openrecovery/updates and apply. Wipe Dalvik/Cache before applying. Use at your own risk.

Hi,

I am running 1.7.0 and still have the old market.

How can I get the new market?

Eric
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
is it all your setting correct..? coz my milestone keep restarting when i change to your setting..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
My question too..

Anyone has the APK?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
Does the kernel support interactive governor?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Different Milestone react differently to different Vsel settings.

I have found the lowest possible stable settings for mine is 700mhz at 48vsel

I have tried installing the new market apk.... it says installation failed. :confused:

I am now testing back and forth between Cronos ROM and G.O.T ROM

G.O.T. ROM the market automatically updates to the latest version after u use the old market a few times.

I have 2 nagging problems with G.O.T:

- Facebook sync don't work

- The CPU governor does not throttle gradually. It jumps from 250mhz to max clock speed and then back to 250mhz.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
That's the interactive governor working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nkteck:
No problem when I m using this setting.

battery life

my battery life is worse than 2.1.

is that normal?

also gallery and camcorder keeps FC.

Eric
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] htinaung:
cant play need for speed. keep force closing. everything else perfect. however, try with miui rom and its working fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I found out that my battery live was bad at first bcs I didn't calibrate the battery properly with the battery indicator.

When you don't calibrate properly, what happens then is that the custom ROM would think that 100% is what the battery charge was when u flash or installed the custom ROM at that time.

So if at the time of flashing/installing the custom ROM you battery was not fully charged at 100%, then whatever percentage it was will be considered as 100% when u install the new custom ROM.

So what I did was to make sure my Milestone battery is fully charged up to 4200mV (u can view the mV via SystemPanel Lite app).

I find slow charging via USB cable is more accurate than using the wall plug charger.

So once my battery reading showed 4200mV (via SystemPanel Lite), I reboot the phone into Recovery and then go into Androidaini Open Recovery and reflash or reinstall the Cronos Froyo ROM.

After I did this procedure of reinstalling the custom ROM on a 100% charged battery, my battery life now more or less like what I have gotten when I was on Android 2.1 update 1 stock Milestone ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I found my browser lag or more specifically when I view the full site of Facebook and when I am typing some text into the comment text box, there is a very bad lag between hitting the keys and the characters appearing in the text box.

Then I discovered something weird when i opened up the build.prop file in the System folder using Root Explorer.

I discovered that there were 2 lines of "dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m" in there.

So what I did was I deleted one of them and now even when the RAM is at around the 24-29mb mark, my browser does not lag.

I'ce installed update on 2.38.1 with OR Androidani 2.32 ofcourse wiped all before flashing then rebooted and installed google apps,

after that I've used sdx stock app removal to remove some system apps:

CMStats.apk

com.amazon.mp3.apk

Email.apk

HtcCopyright.apk

HtcEmailPolicy.apk

HtcSettings.apk

Phone is working on battery from 7AM morning and was used to send 25 sms, 15minutes phone calls and about 45min. for settings downloading some apps etc. and at 4:50PM I have 80% battery (I have crappy signal in job 20-30% so it's draining battery faster too) without uninstalling these apps after similar use i've had no more than 40-50% try it out should help you guys too :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
All those things that you removed, is there any reason to keep them? Especially the email.apk? Does the Gmail app replace that?? BTW, where can you get SDX? I checked the store...nada.

Also, I haven't tried the flash yet...does it work on any browser or just the stock browser?

And how can I get this biatch to run faster/smoother? Is there some system apps that I can delete (if so, HOW??)

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nico101:
3 hours ago I've installed motorola overclock and changed settings to 550mhz till now i have 70% of battery with 13% time without network coverage...(I've been in garage)

Sdx stock app remover can be only found by google on other forum like xda :)

Email.apk is an app for other email accounts like hotmail etc.

amazon is an app to buy mp3

cmstats.apk is an app from CyanogenMOD it makes statistics of phone use

HtcCopyright.apk

HtcEmailPolicy.apk

HtcSettings.apk I don't know if there is any use of these but I don't see any problems or lacks of funtcions without these...

I think that there are more apps that are draining battery but don't have time to make more tests now maybe I'll look into it tomorrow.
