I was also looking for a fix for the GPS problem and I found a solution, as well.

I was comparing files from the final CM7 with files from FroyoMod 2.6.1b.

I tried different values/entries for 2 files gps.conf (like everybody else) but also for another one: 'location.cfg'.

The results were not so good until I realized 'location.cfg' gets copied in the /DATA/LOCATION at the 1st start so to make it work, that file must be deleted.

To make the story short, here is what you need to do:

- get the files from the archive;

- copy the files in the root of your SD card;

- boot the phone in Recovery mode and get to the console;

- write the following commands:

rm /data/location/location.cfg
cp /sdcard/gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
cp /sdcard/location.cfg /system/etc/location.cfg

- reboot the phone and use an application like GPStest, to get a 1st fix.

Once you get a fix, any subsequent tries will be very fast.

Tested on two phones, I can get a fix now even in my livingroom.

In the 'gps.conf' file you should change values for your region, the first 3 lines are for North America / Canada:

NTP_SERVER=ca.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

The FasterFix app is good to get the 1st lime modified for your location.

If you want to edit the file yourself make sure to use a Linux editor, under Windows someting like PFE32 should work.

Nothing should be modified in 'location.cfg'

Credits go to Kabaldan and all other developers! Cheers!

Try this:

SImpleBlack (stock-black) theme:

4shared.com/file/x9EAoOn7/SimpleBlack.html

I just replaced corrupted file with repaired one and it works (tried for 10minutes, then i changed it because i dont like this theme)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shuweee:
Just a quick question. Is there a way to wipe when updating new Tom version and restore all apps and theme only?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
hey luca! any news on your new version? thanks for all you work, hope to see v. 2.7.0 soon! ;)

Solved crashes with AngryBirds and other big apps

Hi all,

I used to see many problems with AngryBirds and other big apps (Earth, Maps, Market), leading to applications closing themselves, unresponsive system and spontaneous reboots. Everything pointed to mem handling issues and out-of-memory conditions.

Everything is working since yesterday, when I modified /system/etc/init.d/08KernelTweak

and substituted the 1 with a 0 in this line:

/system/xbin/echo "0" > /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task

The FroyoMod default (1) means that the kernel will kill the task which is trying to allocate memory. Isn't this the wrong choice? We know we have to kill background tasks, not the heavy one running in foreground.

If someone else wants to try the "0", there is no need to edit bootfiles, it is enough to run

echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task

in a root shell (you can also cat the file to read the content). No need to reboot (actually the option will be lost on reboot if 08KernelTweak is the original one).

Any comment by experts? Luca?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
Thanks for the idea, I'll try it

G Maps Crash

hi to all

I updated to 2.61, this weekend, and i'm having a lot of problem with goggle maps. When i'm searching something the program crash and i'm back to the home page. Any Idea?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Funny you mention that.

I planned on putting that in the supercharge update.

I noticed that making it 0 also allows different apps to update instead of always the same ones.

Settings I will include:

echo "0" > /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task

echo "0" > /proc/sys/vm/panic_on_oom

/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=1

/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.panic=0

The last one makes reboots less likely
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
can we make our battery looks like THIS..? if can.. how..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Milestone only supports battery steps in %'s of 10.

You can have 5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 & 100. For that, you need to replace a few png's and make some xml edit's in the framework-res.apk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mile44:
panics

Hmm? Wouldn't that just disable the autoreboot on panic?

(see http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_kernel_panic.html)

I think the phone is useless at that point.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
@Zeppelinrox and mle44

thanks for pointng out this! i willl test and in case include it in the rom, in 2.7.0 I do not have crashes or FC with ANY big apps, but its with old VM settngs, I'll try this new settngs and include it if I see improvements :D

2.7.0 wll be released this evening/afternoon or tomorrow morning :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
@sileshn

just put any battery icon, then n froyoMod extas>UI settings>status bar

you can enable the battey % wthout having to substtute ANY Png or XML!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Luca, he is referring to circular battery png's. And I don't think the battery percentages will align with the png's using your method.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
yeah.. this is what i mean..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
If Luca had already incorporated 10% steps in his ROM, then all you need to do is to replace the png's starting with stat_sys_battery_ in the framework-res.apk under /res/drawable-hdpi with the circular ones.

Usually in the milestone, the battery %'s are 0,10,20,40,60,80 and 100.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
15% also...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
how to do that.. i really dont understand.. any easy way..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Attach the framework-res.apk file here. I am not on FroyoMOD atm. I'll modify it and send it to you.

Also which png's do you need?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
i want this one..

currently im on your honeycomb theme.. will it change anything after i update this changes..?

thank u so much for helping me.. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
You want HC theme with these battery icons? Also, the icons that you mentioned is for black status bar. I will create ones for white status bar like shown below.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
yes.. because i like these theme so much.. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
but does honeycomb theme comes with black status bar..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Thanks for providing updates Luca.

You have a lot of fans. Both here and in modmymobile. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes. Check back in a couple of hours. I got some work now.

Edit

Since Luca is going to release 2.7, i thought i'll wait to incorporate the 10% pngs. So for now, i have just modified the png's in the existing framework files. Please note that i have named the framework-res.apk for the HC theme as framework-res_hc.apk , so you need to rename it to framework-res.apk before flashing. I have also included one for people on stock theme.

HC theme would look like this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Mine's workin fine ;)

I used the same site for reference lol

Anyway, i figure it would limit dsi reboots.

If it is useless, i can reboot it myself

However, most roms may already be 0 by default according to that site.

I just want to be sure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
thank u so much sileshn..! i really appreciate it.. u r the best..!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Are themes dependant on the version of FroyoMOD? Will a 2.6.1 theme(Gingerbread) work on 2.7.0 or do we have to wait for it to get ported over?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Depends on what changes Luca has made for 2.7.0. IF there are no framework changes, then the themes will work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Thanks Sileshn! Is it hard to edit a theme? Curiosity got the best of me :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Not really. If only PNG changes, then it is very simple. But some themes include a bit more work.

The most difficult part is editing .9 png's.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
The only reason I ask is because I navigated the GB theme (using apk-manager) and the gmail icon in the status bar is the Froyo one and I thought I saw the GB icon in the apk and wanted to try changing it and flashing it again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MakeW00t:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Hi Luca, FroyoMOD has app2ext included in it, correct? I am having some weird issues where my apps transferred properly, but when I try and launch them they FC right away. Not sure what's wrong. I just created the ext2 partition, no scripts or anything were added to FroyoMOD.

Thanks :D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Thanks brother. Nice way to wake up in the morning. Downloading. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
wake up? O.o

Here is time to going to bed LOL xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yup. Its 6 am here in India. Just got up from bed.

Luca, just wanted to ask if the framework files are any different from 2.6.1b. I had already finished porting the honeybread v4 for 2.6.1, so will i need to do it all again for 2.7.0, or will the 2.6.1 framework files work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ROBINGAZI:
I stayed up all night for this. 6:30am here.

BTW is there anyway of knowing if the Ultra low voltage settings would work on my CPU?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Framework-res not, services.jar are changed!

if you look, in gingerbread theme there is a services.jar themed to have the colors right, so there will not be the need to use the FroyoExtras after applying the theme to have correct colors!

i tried to use the most tested one, if you will have problem like the phone freezes of reboots, you roll back to the stock one; you will not damage CPU underclocking, but you may have software iussues like freeze and rebooting!

So...just try :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
You will know if it causes problems when you use it. No way to know before.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
Is it clocked at 900MHz like the previous release?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
1000000000 60

750000000 50

500000000 40

350000000 35
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
1000000000 60

750000000 50

500000000 40

350000000 35

250000000 25

its 5 step :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Same as Silesh, this is great news to wake up to. I'm currently eating breakfast while downloading this. :p

It's 8:55am here in Manila, Philippines.

(I assume, same as before, there's no need to full wipe if upgrading from 261b correct?)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
What's for breakfast, dude? Me hungry too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I'm trying to lose weight, so it's just a bowl of oatmeal with low-fat milk. lol. I have a feeling we will see 4 pages get added to this thread after 24 hours. :D

And silesh, what's the difference between the Honeycomb that you just finished versus the Honeycomb theme in the OP?

Btw Luca, good move in providing flashable zips for the 10overclocks and the app mods. Less clutter in the main ROM. :) Yet still making them easy to apply as needed.

I'm downloading the rEVOlution theme now... :D :D :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Oh, man. I was hoping for some tapa and tocino. :D

Regarding HC theme, not much but it is based on honeybread V4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Ah... I see changes with the setting sliders. (I guess.)

Haha! You know the traditional breakfast here! :eek:

Cool! Yeah, would love some of those. Too bad am trying to cutdown on my processed meats. Mmmm... processed meats.

Will have to go to work in a while. I'll most likely do my TB and Nandroid backups in the office. After which, hopefully I have the time to flash 2.7.0 later tonight.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Half past 10PM here in Montreal. Thanks a lot for the update!

Unfortunately my phone doesn't boot after updating to v2.7.0.

I bet there will be others and I bet it's because of the new overclocking values.

Just wist there would be an easy way to switch back to the v2.6.0 overclocking values.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
Why there is so much screen tearing in this rom? It used to be much smoother... :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Can you still boot into AOR? From there you could just re-flash 2.6.0, see what the values are and change them in 2.7.0 accordingly, or download and flash one of the multiple overclock settings Luca has put into 2.7.0!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mkmonkey:
can't even get pass the sign in screen , it stuck every time I type in my gmail account (actually , even on the "touch the android" screen) .

Is it the overclocking problem ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
By the way.. the GPS issue REMAINS

Both in google maps and the navigator.

There is some stupidity going on... I've installed the 2.7, did everything correctly, wipe data/cache wipe dalvik cache, first **** i tried was the gps, didn't work, i'm with the google maps open trying to get a fix, it have passed 15 minutes to get a fix but it quicky LOST it, it never managed to get the fix anymore.

So i tried the latest shadowmod froyo 0.9.16, i got a gps fix in less than 15 seconds from cold. Then i've flashed the STOCK brazilian froyo release (note that i haven't used a zipaligned one), then tried the GPS, aroud the same time to get a fix as the shadowmod. Then installed the openrecovery and reinstalled the froyomod 2.7 (after wiping data/cache and dalvik all over again) and the GPS couldn't get a fix.

If for the god's sake did something wrong on installing it i doubt it. But there is something wrong with all this matter...

Also with the DSI fix turned on, in a performance level, the GUI has become slower. It became so sluggish that in the 3D app drawer it's almost unusable with the thumbs, because of the lack of responsiveness. Then i always end hitting the home button... I'm definitely removing this stupid fix sincee rebooting and stucking are very infrequent since 2.6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Yeah, got into AOR and used the console to copy back the 10overclock file from 2.6.0.

Got it working... Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Perhaps, worst case scenario, download an overclock pack that you want and enable USB Mass Storage Mode in AOR and place it in the appropriate directory.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Most probably...

You did wipe the caches, right?

Try copying the 10overclock file from 2.6.0, fixed my issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Works FINE for me...

When coming back to 2.7.0 after trying all those versions did you just restore from a backup or start clean with a data/user wipe?

Anyway, boot in AOR go to console and delete the 'location.cfg' file from /data/location/location.cfg

Reboot and try again. 1st time it might be slow.

I wrote about this here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13187772&postcount=2430

Funny thing, v2.7.0 is using europe.ntp.org, even with this value I can get a fix while inside, in my living room.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] seleu:
really good this rom :) right now is the one i'm using :p now you just need to change the rom and make one of gingerbread :) and call it The gingermod xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I'm pretty sure the GPS is working fine for me as well. I've got my WiFi on, GPS turned on, launched Maps and got a fix from inside my living room in about 20 seconds.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
- I confirm, the GPS is working fine for me (may be a result of this?: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13187772&postcount=2430)

How about deleting the file /data/location/location.cfg?

- 3D Gallery still crashes every once in a while (not sure you can fix it)

- How can we switch back to the 2D launcher? Isn't it less memory consuming?

- Wouldn't the old 900MHz overclock insure more people are able to use FroyoMod?

How about making 1000MHz as an option?

I copied the file from v2.6.0 but others might not know how...

- Can we use your old script to un-fix DSI errors?

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
DSI hack is enabled by default. Just use the zip file in the OP to remove the hack and you will be fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Congratulations on the update :)

I will be given this a spin tomorrow indeed :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
It seems like there is a bit of image chopping that happens with the overscroll effect combined with QuickPic. If you scroll too far, the "bounce" effect cuts off about half of the last line. You can still select and such, but it is just a smaller area to tap.

Great update so far!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MakeW00t:
Thanks Luca, it's always a pleasure to start the day by flashing your ROMs
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
That tearing effect isn't even a big deal in my opinion. My phone is faster than Charlie Sheen after he bangs seven gram rocks! :cool:

Wait, I can't see sileshn's new HC theme, I only see the old one. Or maybe just the screenshots are same, but theme is different? :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Screenshots are the same for all of them, but the themes themselves are different. They are no longer all on his 4shared account, but on Dropbox instead.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joyo22:
Well, the update worked like charm on my device. I had some issues with a few gameloft games and I had to uninstall the DSI Errors fix to make them work. I'm using the Honeycomb theme and my phone look really nice. Gallery 3d was a little buggy so I installed Gallery 2D. Camera seems to work way better and phone is blazing fast in general. EXT2 mounts much better now and GPS works perfectly. Definitely the best MOD.

FroyoMod's overclock 1000/250 seems to work nicely as well.

Thanks luca. If I happened to find any bugs, I'd let you know.
