That happens to me sometimes, and i "fixed" it by rebooting device every 40-50 hours... for some reason, after day or two, memory becomes unavailable, but its shown as free?! Maybe there is some memory leak or similar... and i had similar problem on every custom rom since my G1 days...

So, just reboot it and it should work next day or two (maybe three?)

My 2 cent...

And thx to OP for this great rom!!

app data on ext2?

is it possible to shift app data to ext2? from what i understand, only the apks are moved there. getting only about 22mb internal free (which sometimes drops to 18mb)

managed to get dalvik-cache moved there by means of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065966
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
I'm not sure but I think there is an app2ext problem.

I have the same problem: even using app2ext, I have no more than 22Mb free, whilke before, with FM2.9.2 or other ROMs, I had more than 100Mb.

I see that when I install an application, it's correctly placed in SD-EXT directory, but it steals anyway space from internal memory like it is not using EXT partition.

I tried even copying 07app2ext module from CM6, but no luck..

Does anyone else has this issue?

I've noticed this since first installation; tried everything, wiping, reflashinginstall from market, titanium or whatever.. but same result!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
it's so because the app-data placed in /data/data still remain in internal memory...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
and moving them manually from there to SD-EXT/APP will help or will mess up everything? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
i think it wouldn't work... it needs to link the entire /data/data directory in the new position... some a2ext scripts do this (darktremor) but someone in this post say me it isn't advised
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
interestingly, a2sd doesn't seem to work quite the same way on froyomod.. somehow the ext2 is mounted without a synlink. which is why i'm unsure where or how exactly to synlink it for the data/dalvik cache portions..

usually not advised because of the high read/write rate on yr sd card which degrades it faster
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
it isn't a symlink... if i remember well it should be a mount...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
yes it is a mount according to 07app2ext script. analyzing it, it should move all dalvik cache and apps in EXT partition, but something is wrong with this release.

Whenever I install any application, let's say 9MB, it takes exactly 9MB from internal memory; and anyway, with previous release and same apps, I had more than 100Mb free, while now I have to play with apps to prevent internal memory to be full.

But I can't understand where is the issue and how to solve it, or even to investigate deeper..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shatteredzman:
I am also having problems getting notifications for text messages after updating to the latest version. I also had problems with my gmail app not marking emails as read after opening them. I cleared the data for gmail and it seems to be working now, but I lost my notification sound and its defaulting to the system default sound. I dont seem to have the option to change the notification sound in gmail anymore, what gives?

Nevermind on the notification sound, that was my fault for not being able to find it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Strange.. you can try hard deleting gmail.apk from system/app, reboot and install again from market or better from aptoide.

Everytime I have a problem with gmail, I solve it clearing cache..

It always get high priority, and is always kept alive by Android!

Even changing priority with AMM or with a script, when it restarts, it takes high priority again..

Im working on new, I'm doing some big merges of code with cm6!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Yeah! good to know you're still reading this part of xda.

During the past couple of weeks I gave latest CM6 a try and I really liked a few of their changes: camera app with touch to focus, 3d gallery improved (too bad it still fc on Milestone) and some others.

Bring the best of CM6 to Froyomod, please.

I switched back to FM a few days after.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meilstone:
Still waiting for the last honor o give that device. :)

Froyo Mod was the best thing that could happen to that device. I would love to see a almost stable and finished Rom in the next time!!!

Props to Luca!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tigger-gg:
Luca, do you have an idea? I can confirm this problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Will fix it in next update!

Probably will switch to the cyanogen script as it seem more reliable!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
How is new version coming along? Is release date gonna be a long time away?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tigger-gg:
I used zeppelinrox update.zip (incl. dalvik- and cache wipe) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13551875&postcount=10, the first reboot was ending in a bootloop.

So in OR go to console:

cd ect/init.d

chown root:shell 07app2ext

chmod 750 07app2ext

reboot

Now I have 100MB free disk space:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:

801.x enterprise

Hi

I can't connect with our WPA2 801.X Enterprise Network at the university. It's standard German University Network called eduroam. With Stock ROM it worked.

After some google hits I found that CM had a problem like this, but I don't know if Nablak was able to fix it.

Does anybody here has the same problem ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] IFLPI:
@up: sorry, but I can't help

Anyone using motomizer on FM? The thing is I cannot play nfs Shift from the market (ram issues) I use arc theme and had used the 'one click' in Motomizer, but I restored the minfree values to the FM ones in Motomzer, and it didnt help. Anyone have bad experiences in gaming in FM? Angry birds also lags a bit..

Maybe motomizer's tweaks are guilty for that?? If somebody don't know motomizer, check in market, quite good stuff.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
When I was running HO!NO! and used motomizer, my angry birds started lagging pretty bad as well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
I experienced freezing sometimes.. ?

is this related to DSI issues ?

I'm using the latest FroyoMod 2.9.3 with it's default kernel
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Sometime yes, but like once in a week; I don't know if it's related to DSI or due to many tweaks.. but it is acceptable.

I experience always freezes when using Search widget, it opens fastly but after 4 seconds it freezes for 10 seconds..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Angry birds always lagges. Just install Droidwall and block internet connection for the app. This prevents displaying the ads, that's what slows it down the most. I can play every Angry birds game quite well this way. I will probably still be a bit slow the first minute but after that, enough memory is cleared for the game to run better.

tethering?

I use my milestone as a wifi hotspot for my iconia tablet. Ever since I installed froyomod the tethering refuses to work. I have tried just about every tethering app in the market, but it always fails.

In wifi tether I get "unable to start tethering, are you 'rooted'?" even though it is rooted, and I have granted superuser rights in the dialog that pops up. after the error message the device still created a wifi hotspot visible from other devices, but nothing can connect to it (gets stuck at "obtaining ip address")

Any ideas how to make this work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Re-download, Re-flash and don't forget to wipe Data and Cache!

Come back if you still have a problem after that ;)

@ve6rah, the default tether app doesn't work for me either but the "Wireless Tether" app works great. If that doesn't work, see above instructions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
It says "unable to start" etcetc to me also, but it is just a message.. it works great for me! I' m talking about wireless tether.. did u grant permission in access control?

Hey, your ROM is absolutely amazing. Super smooth, RAM efficient, and beautiful. It's the only ROM that lasts me the whole day, with battery to spare.

Just one little issue that I started noticing after a month of use. I get a "Out of RAM" dialog box randomly, but when I check my Running services, it still says there's over 60mb free.. I thought it was just a problem with the install, as it only happened when I tried to modify my homescreen (it would just crash), but then on the clean install it started showing up when I had just the messaging app running. Kind of weird.

Also, theres the standard calendar bug, where the first week is greyed out, but thats liveable aha

Anyways, awesome work, and I look forward to the next release!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Hi Luca,

another question: I've tried a script (found here on XDA) that should make the ROM ODEXed, and after that, my impression is that opening/closing app is really really faster!

I didn't fully understand what ODEXing means in terms of building a ROM, but the new FroyoMOD wouldn't be better if ODEXed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I just read that theming will be very harder if ROM is Odexed. But it's faster. It could be a good thing if the next release is an odexed ROM only if it is stable and need no upgrade during a long time (because it is longer to theme and more difficult to make some changes in the ROM). It is what i understand when i read the first link when searching "ROM odexed" in Google.

I'm waiting for the 3.0 release for changing again from CM to FM (and an ICS Theme :D)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Interesting. Can you share the script/post? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Sure, the thread is this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263119

so all credits go to nibras_reeza

Remember to make a nandroid before! In that thread some people reported that some apps didn't work anymore. In my case everything works flawlessly, but sometime my MS reboot (I'm talking about once every 2-3 days), but I'm not sure if due to this script or to overclock (I set a more aggressive OC the same day).

You just need a terminal emulator to do that (and obviously ROOT access).

Use ChromeToPhone if you want to save time in typing!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
New CM7's are odexed and much faster than before. Thought I didn't know that was the reason :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
odex is not the reason
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Well, never mind then xD.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
If I'm not mistaken, odexing saves some space in data partition, where .odex files that are generated "on the fly" are stored. It also will make first boot faster, as odex files don't have to be generated. Should not make apps run faster, as far as I know, as odex files are used anyway, just that you save some space by odexing your system apps....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] legalghost:
Simply the best rom :)

Only problem is after maybe a day or two.. it starts becoming slower and slower.. and just a quick reboot solves the problem.. I can live with that with ease..

hoping for an ICS theme by sileshn :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Want to inform you that the work is going well!

I'm merging the code with the cm6 one to have all thoose features (gesture, statusbar theming, and so on... )

Albeit a little slow the development is finalizing! I'm very busy with university and also with the new born project (which needs more attention than froyomod cause froyomod in almost more than a year its much more mature )

I'm also aware of the /sd-ext script and will fix it!

Market won't let me install Root Explorer

Hello there, I moved from CM7 to FroyoMOD just a few minutes ago and I'm facing a very annoying problem:

I bought Root Explorer months ago (while still using 2.1_1 stock ROM) and used it ever since across 2.2 stock, CM6 and CM7.

Never had any problems.

But NOW, with FroyoMOD 2.9.3 the market claims, that my device is incompatible with the app - although I can install the free version :confused:

Even the market web page claims that my device isn't compatible.

Anyone got an idea how to fix this? :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
Sounds like u modify the dpi, if u did try to put to default and try install again.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
I didn't modify anything - just wiped the phone and applied the FroyoMOD update zip.

Other apps that worked before also give me problems:

imo Messenger was automatically installed at first start and when I opened it it asked to be updated so it opened its market page which said "Your device is incompatible"

Even more strange: I searched the market for Skype, found it, started the installation and during installation the market page refreshed, giving me the "Your device is incompatible" text WHILE installing it.

It totally makes no sense... maybe I should give it some time to sync everything ?(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Download and install FM again. Best chance to fix your problems. You could also try the less destructive "Clean the market data" first but that would be boring, right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
I'll try the next or any other future version - for now I'm back to CM7

In the calendar app there was a big gray rectangle hiding the first row of days in month-view and Android Agenda Widget claimed that there ware no supported calendar providers installed.

The battery stopped charging at 4000something mV - far from 4200 and after applying latest GApps HDPI I couldn't access the market at all anymore.

I guess that's the most errors one can get out of a simple ROM install...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Why did you installed gapps? ROM provides gaps from the start
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] elpicard:
Same problem here with the calendar grey bar.

Market problems was solved cleaning the data from the app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
I was desperate ;-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
I suggest to clear the android folder on SD card and also the .android_secure folder also!

Try doing a full wipe again (i also bought root explorer and works for me! )

Is anyone facing the same problem with widgets?

First i used gtab Simi CLock widget but faced a problem that there seems to be the same widget, with old time, overlayed over the current widget with the corecct time. So there was always a silhouette when u look at the time. Quite annoying. But when you press on the Widget you suddenly can sperate the widgets. And after a Reboot everything works fine again. So i got 2 Widgets out of one :D :D

I thought this was related with a specific widget so i startetd to use GoWeather.

But now i have the same problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Same problem on CM7 and i had it on FM. I thought it was related to widget (i've BBClock), but now I'm really conviced this is caused by task killers. I think using GoWidgets makes them unkillable like the launcher and could resolve this problem.

I could be wrong it can be caused by GoLauncher too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meilstone:
Well i'm suing the Goweather widget and it does not work at all. Furthermore i dint try the owidget because it dont like them. So i've to live with this strange problem

Sorry for doubleposting, but one annoying detail remains;

the gray bar in calendar app.

By default it blocks the entire first week of month-view, if I install calendar.apk from CM6.3.4 it is smaller, but it still blocks essential information.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreju:
Although I know, this is not a real answer, I think most of us have long ago switched to a different calendar app where there are no such issues and its display is much more user friendly. I am, for example, using the Business Calendar Free and I am much happier than before.

Folks, anybody experiencing 3G trouble? I am having trouble using 3G quite some time now. Namely, data transfer works perfectly fine and I'm getting good speeds, but voice communication gives me trouble. Calls are being disconnected, sometimes immediately, sometimes after some time, sometimes not at all. Mostly happens when I am the caller. When I am called, I mostly don't have a problem.

Haven't changed the broadband - but the one in FroyoMod should be OK also for me (central Europe). I am having these issues for some time now, like half a year or so, that means if I want to talk normally, I have to turn off 3G. I am not sure, though, if this could be in any way related to the fact that sometime around the time I started having problems, my operator started upgrading the network to also support UMTS900. Is there a way for me to tell whether I'm connected to UMTS900 or UMTS2100 for further troubleshooting? Could this be a HW issue with the device itself? I am thinking about reverting once to stock eclair or stock froyo to see whether the issue remains...

Any hints?
