um sorry not tru stop hating ...this rom is much faster gps works quickly font is way better much more stable also battery life is much better just flash over cm6 with no wipe voila all apps are there...try it and judge for yourself
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zninja:
Do Flash and ap2sd work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
Camera and video to anybody?

Compared to what? A basic eclair modded rom? V3a is my daily driver , I'd love a change but not for an (understandably...no hate) buggy froyo.

Regards, PK
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] haksam:
i am on cronos rom at the moment,

- treat it as a CM 6 lite

- font type has been changed

- default clock speed same as cm 6 (900mhz)

- ROM chef clearly took some ideas and thanked nadlabak (kabaldan), the maker of cm 6 milestone

- camera on this rom is exactly the same as cm 6 0.02 [29/09/10], buggy auto-focus and annoying.

- linpack scores around 12mflops, same as cm 6

- reboot time is 3-4 seconds faster than current cm 6 build

- 30 fps limit bug is still existent, no different to cm 6

- cronos boot animation not as funky as cm 6

- users might miss some cm 6 user options, for e.g custom led color blink for different alerts.

- stable with no random reboots (same as cm 6)

- uses launcher pro as default homescreen (as opposed to adw in cm6), making it easier for LP fans to set up on first install

- difficult installation process if no internet access, launcher pro app included has expired, needs to install the latest version on start up.

- battery life about the same as cm 6

- no idea if kernel tuning script has been included

installation instruction was not clear,

- cronos.zip contains update.zip and openrecovery folder

- replace these 2 files with the ones on sdcard

- also copy google apps for hdpi devices.zip to openrecovery/updates folder

- run recovery and wipe all (factory,cache and dalvik)

- choose update from zip and pick cronos 1.0.0

- immediately after installation, pick google apps

- reboot and set up phone as normal, make sure to connect to wifi first or use a SIM which has 3g data connection, then sign in to your main google account. (for wifi settings during setup, press the menu key when Google ask if you want to set up a new account or sign in an existing one)

- complete the first time android setup and launcherpro will fail to launch and direct you to launcherpro homepage. download the latest apk and install from notifications bar.

I dont know why author of this rom join nadlabak cm6 port? Coz many work of this rom took from nads research.

Or at least share some ideas of his work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fe3zan:
i dunno about other people.for me this rom feel much better than cm6.it much faster.i tried both n i'll stay with cronos.but it will be much better if the 2 developer can work together.peace no war. :D

How to install this rom?

I checked in post 1 but i am not clear

Please, help me to guide how to install this ROM.

I have 2.2.1 now
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Nemesis259:
Firsh make sure that you wipe data/cache/dalvik cache... Copy the rom file and put it in your openrecovery/updates folder in your sdcard. Then simply apply update using the file and its done.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Nemesis259:
yes u can using the nandroid backup
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kenosis:
Thanks, i have deleted update.zip from my sdcard. now, i am downloading and i will let you know whether i can do or not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
Hi,

I dont understand something. If this custom rom is built-on the same 2.2.1 TEST leak from firmware that every other rom is and the battery drain is the kernel problem on which the test leak is built on, how can this rom achieve better battery results than any other rom out there?

Am I missing something?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] harrynghiem:
Does everybody know to apply themes for this rom? Please hepl me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kalagas:
No theme for this rom yet... i think
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
yes he changed some stuff in the kernal go to first page u will see kernal update zip
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
Ah, sorry. Totally missed that part out. Thank you..

Now I just need to find the courage to really make a switch from CM :$
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
Actually now Cronos 1.5.0 has everything you would want from a froyo rom.

And it is the ONLY FROYO ROM with a perfectly functional wifi implementation (works without problems on 802.11 N networks) unlike Dexter's ROMs (have you looked into this?) witch without question are very nice but lacks a decent wifi (doesn't work with EIGHT out of ELEVEN 802.11 N routers i tested on WPA2).

so, THANK YOU CRONOS. Now i have a perfect Rom with Wifi and Battery life.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
I have few questions before installing this rom:

1. Do I still need to reboot system after charging?

2. Does it have the reboot option as CM does?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
1. Does not seem like it. I charged the phone and did not reboot. Checked Battery stats and it looks good.

2. Yes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
Update time it looks. Thanks for fast reply. Btw, camera has focus problems so official forum thread suggests using the one from version 1.4.0. Fyi.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Hi.How can i replace system app(upgrade) with terminal (on the phone) which is on this rom?Thnx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Guiberu:
Hi guys,

I'm in the UK and have a Milestone in transit to me as we speak.

Am I right in thinking that when it turns up, all I need to do is follow the rooting guide on the main page, do a nandroid backup (and keep it safe somewhere) and then download this lovely rom, whack it in the update folder and restore it as though it's a Nandroid backup?

I remember reading something about radio frequencies and the like - and that had me worried. Don't really want to flash something that ends up bricking or crippling my new toy.

Is there a general guide to flashing roms on the (UK) Milestone?

I'm coming from the G1 and everything is pretty standard fare on that side :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
Try This .

There is also an abbreviated write up about half way through this thread.

Regards, PK
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
had to update kernel module pls use new version on first page
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
phone has been on for 2 hours still at 100% wow :eek:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
So the updated kernal, is that a different kernal than the 2.6.32 Telus kernal that was available on GOT's site??

I've been using that one with this rom and so far the battery life/performance isn't much better then 1.4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
yes sort of just flash kernal update and battery life will be much better no more power leaks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Alright, I just wiped everything and installeld this through openrecovery.

Why isn't the market downloading all the apps I had before? I thought it backs up all the apps you have (privacy settings) and my WiFi points and passwords?? Not seeing these sync...

A bigger problem is the wallpaper won't change. I change it to something else and soon enough it's back to the grass...

Other than that I'M LOVING IT!

Oh, one more thing. I prefer to use Milestone Overclock to set my overclock. It won't auto-load on boot with the ROM overclock, so I have to manually do it each time I reboot. Any way to get around this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
As far as I know the modules are only to support ext and tun. But They are still not working as they get loaded but not working the way it should. So the kernel modules update has nothing to do with the battery drain fix. The battery drain fix is already in the full rom.

I have had my CF 1.5.0 now running 27 hours and still have about 20% left!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
This is my first day using Cronos 1.5.0. I've ended charging it yesterday at 17:00. Its past 7 (next morning) now, the battery is at 70% with medium phone usage.

CM went to around 50% in the same time. So far so good. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Try4Ce:
could I use the kernel update on other roms as well? or is it only for cronos?

im not too good with this stuff, but kernel sounds to me like the main control module, and all the other roms like froyo sense or miui are all based on the same kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
Well the difference with Cronos and the other roms out there is that Cronos has now at least as far as I know. He has cleaned the libraries and has compiled most of the libraries now with the android sources. The other roms are still using the GOT leak libraries.

Do not flash the kernel modules update as it is not working as stated by Nadlabak and Feeyo confirmed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Try4Ce:
Thanks for the quick heads up :) Too bad it wont work tho.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
After one day of using this ROM i have the following remarks.

- Voice Search app force closes.

- Toggle 2D app in auto mode does not work. I always have HSDPA connection.

- ~2 out of 40 in-comming calls, after hanging up ended up in phone freeze (had to remove the battery) with a weird message on the screen ( " complete with Messaging / Voice search ")

- This might be already stated but the camera focuses on it's own !?

Otherwise the ROM is by far the fastest and battery friendliest.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
You will need to post the bugs on Feeyo's forum. As he is banned from XDA.

offtopic:

While i agree with the mods that the dev should have released the sources, it's still very sad that such a talented dev is banned. It is also true that lot's of top manufacturers fail to comply in releasing GPL licenced pieces of sources and even locking bootloaders and kernels that are born from GPL sources.

Evil as it is the dev, Cronos is great, i have to admit.

I will post the bugs on their official forum from now on.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
"Dev" is so much said for anyone that rip's others work and put their name on top.. so please send your thanks to the people behind it and not the ppl that ripped it.. that is a really sad and common mistake, when you know less about the work behind it or how to verify what is said..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
This is nonsense. (If by the other ROMs you mean also the CM6 port).

He cleaned up the Cronos build - he was using some unnecessary precompiled libraries in 1.4, but it was never the case with the CM6 port.

There is a number of proprietary files that simply has to be used in binary form by every build which is otherwise compiled from sources.

You can check my CM6 port github repos: https://github.com/nadlabak and look here: http://android.doshaska.net/cm6build to see how exactly and from what sources is the CM6 port compiled.

Feeyo does not provide the means how Cronos can be compiled by users nor public source repos, but it's his choice and it's OK. So it's hard to see what exactly has been changed between builds. But this Feeyo's statement is quite clear: "No more messy mix from the leak libs and android libs".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
Didn't know that. I've read some things about him not releasing sources of modified kernels for Moto Droid.

Stealing or not, sources or no sources, the God Damn WiFi is working with my God Damn Routers (both home and work). So, where did he stole the wifi from? For real!

I would be more than happy to use the Froyo with Sense very elegantly developed by Dexter, or the famous nadlabak's CM6 but wifi is and will be 2nd after actual phone calling for me in importance.

I didn't mean to upset anyone, btw. Really sorry if i did so.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if you want to know, look at the /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

which is basis for client configuration which easily can lead to some routers not being able to connect..

You should find differences here, and maybe in the binary wpa_supplicant which other XDA developers changed, and he "could" have recompiled for our platform and use..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Try4Ce:
Well, sadly it seems if you appreciate feeyos work you will get shaking heads.

I have to say, and i really mean it, that Nadlabak did the motherload of work for this to happen. Without him, there wouldnt be anything like the optimized and pimped Froyo ROMs anywhere.

But I bow down to Feeyo as well, as he managed to get the battery drain fixed and WiFi never worked that good it seems. And its really nice and fast. He sure knows what he is doing, even if Nadlabak did the most of the work.

I can always say: Lay down the dirty swords lads.

Why not combine everything to get a clean, nice Froyo ROM and base everything on that instead of showing whos the man? Sorry 'bout the harsh words, no offense, but well, thats my opinion...

EDIT: And yeah, I know, and I would do it myself if I had the knowledge. But I dont have it. You guys are talented and have real knowledge about whats happening inside our devices. So yeah, we can only count on you to get over this "rivalry" ^^

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Just to avoid any possible confusion:

I have no problem with Feeyo anymore (and we exchange a friendly PM from time to time).

My source repos are there to be used by developers and I'm glad that they helped to start the wave of new Milestone ROMs that are truly compiled from sources.

(And now I have to add that the Dext3r's work has been essential, very valuable and helpful, despite the fact that it has not been based on the work with source... ;) ).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
thanks,

and i have nothing against being honest here, its been years since i compiled kernels, and on SH4 linux platform only.. but i might just do this on SGS as its alot easier here :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
Thank you very much for your response Dexter.

I've got

# cat ./wpa_supplicant.conf
##### wpa_supplicant configuration file template #####
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

from Cronos.

If i flash your Rom and just copy the wpa_supplicant.conf and binary wpa_supplicant (?) from cronos on top of that, should it suffice? I would really like some "Sense" awesomeness from your MotoFroyoSense.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Hell :), I added the notice in brackets to not offend you by the preceding statement, but I guess it doesn't sound the way I intended. I didn't mean to question your abilities in any way... :o

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Guiberu:
Can someone take a look at the below, please? I plan on fiddling with this tonight and would like to be clear on what I'm doing beforehand!!!

NOTE : I'm also reading a lot about independant Kernal updates - would I need to update my Kernal before being able to install a FroYo based ROM? Or does this ROM do it for me? I.E My Milestone will be stock - so can I quite literally install the GOT Recover, root my phone, and then flash CroNos 1.5 without any issues?

Hi guys,

I'm in the UK and have a Milestone in transit to me as we speak.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wmn79:
Nope the step between your nandroid and flashing this rom is to flash one of the GOT leaked firmware sbf's from here with rsd-lite. This is needed for the kernel and bspw, then you can flash the update zip through GOT Openrecovery so it's not a nandroid update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Has anyone noticed issues with overclocking the phone using SetCPU withthis rom? It doesn't seem to want to work and no matter what I do it doesn't seem to want to go over 700mghz
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
Use the overclock file in /system/etc/init.d
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
So, i'd have to edit that file with Root explorer right??

Edit: Ok, so I downloaded Root explorer and superuser won't grant it permission. WTH??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dwnshft:
Ok...I got my root manager working...and I found that file, but I can't edit it b/c its read only? How do I use this stupid program??

So what if i updated Cronos 1.5.0 + kernel update? Did i break aynthing? Should i re-update to 1.5.0?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
You did not break anything...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
Well yes, I installed the Kernal as you advised against. I just wonder if that was:

-the reason for my market problems.

-Likely to cause other problems

-Fix and removed by 2 wipes.

Mainly, what should I do to make sure I am getting the performance and stability after these missteps.

Regards, PK
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Crypto_ahash:
For me it was:

1. Flash SBF 2.2.1

2. Wipe everything all 3 steps

3. Flash CF 1.5.0

4. reboot

5. Flash modules

6. reboot

7. Done.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Looks like people are just passing right by my questions, I'll try to make them more concise:

1) Wiped everything and installeld this through openrecovery. Why isn't the market downloading all the apps I had before? I thought it backs up all the apps you have (privacy settings) and my WiFi points and passwords?? Not seeing these sync...

2) Can't change the wallpaper. I change it to something else and soon enough it's back to the grass...unless I reboot, then it sticks BUT wallswitch does not work because the grass wallpaper keeps popping back up when it switches wallpapers.

3) I prefer to use Milestone Overclock to set my overclock. It won't auto-load on boot with the ROM overclock, so I have to manually do it each time I reboot. Any way to get around this? I.E. disable this ROM's overclock?

4) Why does it show Cronos 1.4.0 in the about phone settings? Definitely flashed 1.5.0.

5) How do I get setCPU to use the conservative governor? I can see there exists the conservative governor in /system/lib/modules but it doesn't show up in setCPU.

Other than that it's great. Battery gets used much slower than stock GOT 2.2.1 and the CM features also finally let the screen brightness also auto-adjust DOWN, not just up.

TIP: Install the camera.apk off of cronos' website, it has fixed the wonky autofocus.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ensmile:
Is it possible to remove adwsetting in home menu?

I replace launcher2.apk to adwlauncher.apk.

Since i replaced launcher, adwsetting appears in phone setting menu. And also in home menu.

I want remove one of them since it is duplicated..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
Well I'll try to take this one

For some reason market does not keep track of all the programs you've downed, you have to go out and find them yourself and reload them. I suspect they are apps you would not have access to under a stock milestone. As far as your data is concerned, news to me that it would back it up but. I keep the sync thing turned off as it's a CPU/battery hog. It's also a lovely data mining tool for Google. Regular titanium backs will serve you better in most cases.

See, not everyone's passing you by...completely.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pk2:
I thought I flashed that when I did my GOT's install. Does that count?

That would be the CFMM-1.5.0_cronos.zip file...ya?

This would be the apk's I.E CarHomeLauncher.apk ?

Sorry if I'm nit picking. I just want to get it right. I've flashed a zillion G1 & WM roms but this only my 2nd milestone.

Thanks much PK
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kayatoast:
You did the steps wrong.

Flash Cronos (CFMM 1.5) first

Then flash the kernel module update1

And I suggest you might want to flash the GOT 2.2.1 SBF again before you restart the whole process.
