Hi all,

please help, not all my apps icon are are visible on the menu.

what do I have to do to get them back?

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
Try reflashing? Something went wrong I think.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
how do i flash using open recovery? i tried looking through all of GOT and the other popular one people use. Can someone be very please and step-by-stepish for me. ive tried all night and failed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Using G.O.T.: go to Miscellaneous Menu, then Apply Update, select CFMM-1.6.1_.zip (for newest compilation).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Ok new 1.6.1 no battery drain present 8 hours since unplugged two xda posts mild 4 min surfing and battery is @ 90 %... Awesome..also games and flash is good on this rom just overckock to 900 or 1000
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Try4Ce:
Can anybody tell me how the speed of Cronos is compared to CM6 and FroyoMOD 2.1.0 ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
i love cronos! i just installed it last night and its so sweet! i'm wondering what is it default clock speed? If its less then 900, could someone explain how I would change it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Hmm! There were many questions and there were many answers too! Read carefully through this topic and other topics you will find your answer!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The default speed is 700mhz

to increase:

-Install Root explorer or any editor that could read/write system files.

-Open \system\etc\init.d

-Edit the file 10overclock

In my case I set the overclock to 1200 mhz

so:

The first echo (max_vsel) i set to 80

The second (max_rate) i set to 1200000)

then remove the # from echo 5

change the values to 1200000000 and 80

also the remove the # from echo 0

change the value to 1200000

save, reboot and done!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
thank you very much boto! how is your battery life while using 1200 mhz? also does your phone ever get hot? because especially over the summer my milestone would get very hot running at 1000 mhz.

after playing with cronos for the day i have two questions.

1. is there a way to make my status by able to pull down at any point (like during a phone call or while the phone is locked)?

2. is there any way to enable swipe gestures in the lock screen for the music player?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marushin:
to install this update from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1,i just wipe cache & dalvik?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Yes, as it's mentioned in first post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The battery is pretty decent at 1200 mhz, better then before with eclair.

about the heat, will depend about what you are doing, the cpu could scale the frequency, but if you are doing some hard work for a long time, the device for sure will heat.

i'm at the middle of summer here, above 30C at day and I don't have big troubles like reboots because of that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
My milestone would stay around 34-36C sometimes staying around 40C when it was really hot. That was when I was at 1000 mhz using GOTs 2.1. I feel like I have some lag while at 700. I'm trying to figure out if I should overclock at 900, 1000, or 1200? Thanks for the help :)

How can I permanently set system volume to 0? I hate the loud noise from taking a picture. I would like to dset the system volume to 0 without an app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
If its not flash related lag, try installing the interactive governor and using that. You can install it using any Open Recovery that supports CM6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
What is interactive governor? Also what are the major differences between CM6 and cronos 1.6.1? I've never used any CM. I'm wondering if its worth testing out; I'm currently really happy with cronos. I still havnt had time to overclock cronos.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
The interactive governor is a more responsive clock frequency driver that uses a tad more battery, but make the phone clock up faster. Cronos is based on Cynanogen Mod 6 (CM6), so the governor for CM6 works for Cronos. If you use Androidiani Open Recovery, you can install it from 2.2.1 menu.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
how much is a tad bit more battery? has anyone does any testing to compare before and after using the interactive governor? regardless thank you for the advice :)

does anyone have any advice on what they think would be better for my battery life; installing the interactive governor, or overclock to 1000mhz?

It sounds easy to switch to phone back to 700 mhz if I think 1000mhz is really draining my battery. But how easy is to to uninstall the interactive governor?

PS: I'm still trying to figure out what files I must edit to permanently set my system volume to 0. also im trying to figure out what file to edit that will always allow my status bar to be pulled down (like during a phone call or in the lockscreen).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marushin:
i stil have some issue with batt draining on 1.6.1,I've followed the tips from greglord, but still not working, any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
Overclocking will hardly affect your battery life under really light usage, but under heavy use, eg playing angry birds, will reduce battery life as much as 50%, depending on speed and voltage. The interactive governor will reduce battery life under light use by about 10%, but won't affect battery life under heavy usage. I have both the 1ghz overclock and interactive governor, and I estimate that my battery life has dropped about 15% under light use from the stock speed and governor.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
are you on 1000/750/500/250 or 1000/750/400/125 mhz?

i used Androidiani Open Recovery to overclock to 900 then i just used Androidiani Open Recovery again to overclock to 1000. Is it alright that i overclocked my phone using Androidiani? Would it have been better for me to gone in and edited the file myself? (just curious)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
My phone has froozen twice to the point where I had to remove the battery just to restart my milestone. This morning I got a random reboot while using the music player. Does this ever happen to anyone else? GOTs 2.1 never randomly restarted on me.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] seven_seas:
there may be a bug that when I set airplane mode on and open wireless for a short period, it is very usual that wifi disconnects and can not scan the hotspot anymore.

Does anyone have the same phenomenon like I have?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razorman2:
Hi,

i use cronos froyo from 1.30 to 1.6.1, it was a great job, but now i've a strange problem, after an openrecovery update with cronos 1.6.1 the power button ends active phone calls when pressed, there's a tweak to disable this feature?

Regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
I'm on 1000/750/400/125. I usually set it using Andriodiani Open Recovery as well. Seems to work fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
i just tried it out and i dont have that problem. my power button does not end the call and im using cronos 1.6.1 but i had GOT's 2.1 before so maybe you didnt fully wipe your phone? i dunno. i just thought i'd let you know that my phone using cronos 1.6.1 doesn't have that problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razorman2:
It's a problem of my installation, i've restored a previous nandroid backup of cronos 1.6.1 and all works fine now... i don't understand what's happen... but now it's ok.. thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] more2come:
Battery life got better in this release, but is still far from being acceptable. Losing about 20-30% over night just doesn't do it. With EclairMOD, I lost about 5% over night...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Weird I only lose 5 - 10 % overnite wipe caches and flash again my battery life is outstanding
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
also try reboot after charge
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
HUGE BUG!

half the time i take a picture or record a video and then click the little preview of the picture/video to see what i use took in gallery my screen goes totally blank and my phone freezes. i can't turn it on or off until i take the battery out! this drives me crazy.

also sometimes the green corners that indicates the camera is in focus will take on the camera screen after i have taken a photo (this isn't nearly as big of a problem as my phone freezing!)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
What about this?

Optional:

Download Camera and Gallery3D Fix:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude2:
OMG thank you so much! This totally fixed all my camera problems and reduced the lag within my camera!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
Have the Froyo battery issues been REALLY solved? I hope yes because right know I'm running Cyanogenmod and, ehi it's AWSOME, but eats my battery as faster as I eat a pizza. And I can assure you I'm pretty fast at eating... O.o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] abhinavsg:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
i agree with this :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
does the wifi work for everyone else? im thinking about trying this rom out, ive been using GOT's .36 for a few months now and really want 2.2!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
no wifi does not work on latest one just use the first on in my post everything works on that one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
Gotta say the flash works real good in stock browser. Watching live streaming football on my phone crazzzy man...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] okorn_:
yes..for flash the stock player is the best.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Karooluss:
I don't know why do I have to wait so long time for get gps location for example in google maps in this or CM6 rom:-( in stock or eclair based I get gps fix within couple seconds...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divine3155:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] as_x1:
how can i install this rom? i got 2 directoris in zip: META-INF and SYSTEM. at this time i use eclair mod v0.3.

thx for the advices_a
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Niksie:
- Put the zip file in the Openrecovery/updates folder.

- Boot in Recovery

- Wipe Dalvik, Factory Reset

- Use "Apply Update" in Open recovery and select the zip file.

- Wait and see the magic happens.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] as_x1:
thank You!_a
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] slym84:
downloading right now but not sure whether to install or not. a bit nervous....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
i tried to install it but after installition is keeps going to the M logo and turn off....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jasonkx:
same here!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZipoX:
glad i am not alone, it means its not something i did :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ronsalvador:
put it in updates in Openrecovery then apply it after wiping data/factory reset.

This rom for me is much better. Battery lasts longer than the other roms. Currently don't experience any bugs too. I'll live with the 700mhz as long as it don't eat up my battery and I get to enjoy flash.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
are u guys coming from 2.1 update 1?also wipe all caches and do a wipe factory reset
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
the g.o.t team have the real froyo for milestone and the new kernal hope they leak it:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:

Only change is that you don't need to flash the 2.2.1 sbf file now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] abhinavsg:
Ok, thanks a lot for the help.

Let me try it. will get back to you guys if i have any problems. :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] abhinavsg:
@sileshn

i have installed the Cronos 1.6.1 as per the instructions given in ur post on CronosProject Forum. :D

Nothing seems different from the installation i had previously the G.O.T 2.2.1 (I dont even know if something is supposed to seem different. :P)

My only concern with the G.O.T 2.2.1 was battery life. it was absolutely terrible. I really hope that the Battery Life improves substantially this time around.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] merrywhq:
I'm having problem installing MediaGallery.apk which works fine in HO.NO v3, just show Application not installed.

Anyone got the same issue?

not so favor of the default gallery3d comes with cronos 1.6.1, always take a while before a photo becomes clear to see
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] abhinavsg:
Ok, bothering you again :P

this is what i did :

1. Downloaded got 2.01 & extracted OR & OR-CFG & Update.zip on the SD Card Root Folder.

2. Downloaded Cronos 1.6.1 & extracted the zip file in the OR folder on the SD Card.

3. Got into the Recovery Mode & Wiped everything

4. Applied the Update.zip present in the SD Card.

is this all i got to do? is there anything more i gota do (like install the optional stuff)?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] more2come:
Well, rebooting the stone after recharging fixes the battery drain temporarily. But after some time, it comes back.

If you check SpareParts, you'll see that at some point the stone doesn't want to go into sleep mode.

That's a major bug with the current kernel and makes me wanna puke. If Moto forgets to fix that in the final release, I'm going to take a huge dump on their doorstep...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ggursel:
Cronos is the best rom I've been using for Milestone. Especially for the battery life and overclock performance. It makes milestone a different device.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Isn't that issue resolved with the latest Cyanogen releases?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
I have some memory problems with cronos.The games and apps became soo slow.I open running services and theres no more memory available(info in status row).Whats the problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
There is a new adobe flash update on market .my flash is much smoother now
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] phikr:
installed cronos 1.6.1 yesterday. running smooth so far and couldnt find any bugs! i had a lot of issues with the FroyoMOD and suffered from a lot of reboots and battery drain...have my stone unplugged now for 13 hours and after about 30 min 3G browsing (spread over the day) and some gaming + listening to music for about 30 min got 50% left. dunno if this is good, in relation to the froyoMOD it is an improvement. forgot to reboot after unplugging this morning, so i will try this tomorrow. so far really nice work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreiblue:
best rom yet. any nice themes for 1.6.1??? if yes , can you guys post them?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] imzkng:
Try the Cronos Official Forum http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=57

Look under Modifications - Themes. I have been using the Buuf Theme and it is awesome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreiblue:

Hi Guys,

I flashed the Cronos 1.6.1 ROM onto my Milestone. It runs well. I just have a single issue with it. I am trying to change the Font Size to 'Large' but it does not happen. font size goes back to the default 'Normal'
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Gingerbread Theme

Hi Fellow Milestone users,

I have tried to create a simple Gingerbread theme for Feeyo's excellent ROM. This is for version 1.6.1, but may work with other versions too. I am not sure about that. A few things that you need to know before you flash this theme.

It will replace the Cronos bootloader animation with the standard Android bootloader animation ( I will fix it today ).

The following apps will be replaced with themed apps.

Contacts.apk

Phone.apk

Browser.apk

LatinIME.apk

AndroidTerm.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

and offcourse, framework-res.apk

It will add the themed froyo launcher , Launcher.apk.

It will add custom Gingerbread fonts. If you don't want to replace your font's , just delete the fonts folder inside system from the zip file.

You need to do the following after installing the theme.

Change your date, clock, notification ticker, Items title color, Items text color and Items time color to white ( #ffffff). Reboot for changes to take effect.

Procedure :

Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik/cache, apply theme, again wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.

Screenshots :

Download Link

: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b49e4f8/n/cronos_ginger.zip

Enjoy the theme. There are a few more minor things to be done, so please bear with me if you find some shortcomings.

I've been messing with Cronos Froyo 1.6.1 to O.C. it and now I've got it stuck at 550 max and can't get it higher

I've edit the 10overclock file but nothing seems to happen. if I try to OC using the 2.2.1 menu under G.O.T I get stuck at the logo, so I had to use the "remove overclock" option.

if I try SetCPU or OSMonitor I can read my max freq is 550000, nothing more....

is there anything wrong after messing with GOT OR that keeps me away from OC?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Did you try milestone overclock? It is available in the market.

update : It works. Just tried it out.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Has anyone been able to access the official cronos forum? Has been down for the last 5 hours for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vsinha71:
Just shifted to android recently from windows mobile. tried searching for my query in the thread but am a little confused. i am currenly running CM6 RC4 mod. if i need to install cronos 1.6.1 can i use the update option in OR 3.3 to upgrade directly or do I need to first flash 1.6.1 rom as update.zip on the root of sdcard folder and then update with OR 3.3.

Many Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theopulus:
Yeah, each time I try to OC using that app I get my Milestone rebooted... don't know why as I've used it before on 2.1 ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theopulus:
It happens to me as well
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vsinha71:
Could anyone pls help me with this.

Many Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rgribeiro:
In my experience, to change from CM6 to Cronos you need first to flash the GOT 2.2.1 rom using RSDLite in Windows, and then install the Cronos ZIP file using the update option in OpenRecovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rgribeiro:
I can't reach it either. That's really bad, 'cause I'm waiting desperately for Cronos 1.7...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vennstrom:
:D I though it was virus on my PC..did the whole scan and stuff...:D

I guess it's down for today
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vsinha71:
thanks a ton for you reply. will try the same.

many thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Looks like Feeyo is organising his site. The themes I posted in general section have now been moved to the milestone section. Good.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theopulus:
What should I do to reset the device to a fresh 1.6.1 install? A Complete Wipe is enough? Or I've got to reinstall the update again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theopulus:
BTW, Cronos Community is up again
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Complete wipe should be enough if you have not made any changes manually to any file.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] geevee11:
Or, you can just do three wipes, then flash cronos. Works for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vsinha71:
Thanks, worked like a charm. guess i'll have to follow the same process incase i go back to CM6. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
For some reason i do not understand i now cannot make an wifi connection....strange enough because it has worked before???

Is there something i can do to make it work again?

Already tried rebooting, as well as disable and enable wifi again but no luck.

It also won't scan networks anymore...hmmm
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sworkhard:
Turn wifi off

Open a file system browser like root explorer. Navigate to /data/misc/wifi

Delete the wap_supplicant.conf

Turn wifi back on.

I can't promise this will fix everything, but it solves my issues with wifi.

If that doesn't work try this:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
Thank you, this worked great! :D

Glad to be back online (by wifi)
