uve written to use sd card adapter .. i dnt have one .. so how do i do this procedure nw ???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Installed.. simple and effective!!! as I like!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
You can try with sdcard in the phone using USB mass storage mode.

I am not sure if it would work as I have not tried it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
Quoted from "pcphobic"

Step 1

Download both CGMM-1.4.0 and Kernel Update with A2SD from the Milestone Cronos Ginger 1.4.0 thread in the forum

and copy them into your Sd card to the following folder:

/OpenRecovery/Updates

Step 2

Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition from:

Best Free Partition Manager Freeware for Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.

Step 3

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition a portion of your SD card to Ext 2.

Step 4

Flash Cronos ver.1.4 ROM via Androidiani Open Recovery Menu

Boot up to normal

Step 5

Reboot back into Androidiani Open Recovery Menu and flash Gapps.

Boot up to normal.

Step 6

Reboot back into Androidiani Open Recovery Menu and flash the Kernel Update with Enabled A2SD

Boot up to normal

From then onwards, when you install a new app, it goes to the Ext 2 partition of your SD card. You may need to reboot each time u install a new app.

can i do this instead then .. is it the same thing ... ???

cuz in the end all i want is to get ext-2
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
That is what is mentioned in the guide. Use minitool to create your ext2 partition.

But you dont have a sdcard adapter, so yo will have to connect your phone to pc in usb mass storage mode and then try the procedure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
if you want to create a ext2 partition, it is also possible to do this in OpenRecovery Console...

only think you need is 1 simple file an some commands...

how-to:

1. download attached file, unzip and copy to sdcard

2. make a backup of your sdcard (cause all files will be delete)

3. boot in OpenRecovery

4. open console

5. type in the follow commands:

cp -f /sdcard/parted /sbin/parted

chmod 755 /sbin/parted

now look what size is your sdcard (8bg = about 7980, 16gb = about 15960, 32gb = about 31980)

/sbin/parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 print

there you see the max size

umount /sdcard

if have a ext2 already also must type in umount /sddata

now we will deleat olt partition and the create the new one

/sbin/parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 1 (if there more then 1 partition, delete all)

now create new partition (first fat, then ext)

/sbin/parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7000

/sbin/parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 7000 7920

(this is a example for my old 8gb sdcard, may you sdcard have more or less then 7920)

this may take some time, when its ready just type in console reboot and then boot in System and copy back you sdcard backup

Thats all, i hope i don't forget something ;) an this works, i do this 3 times with a 8gb card and 2 times with a 16gb card ;)

Thanks!

Im not sure how many of you use the smaller pixel density's in Androidani but I love them!

My question is, is there a way of making the keyboard keys any larger? They pretty much stay the same as the larger pixel density would be. Any suggestions? I know this has nothing to do with FroyoMod but I trust you guys will have an answer.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreju:
Is there a way to find out, what exactly is preventing my phone from sleeping? Yesterday was excellent for me. Unplugged in the morning, minimal usage, on wifi all the time, in the evening 84%. Today with not that much usage at 34% after 9 hrs. And my phone was not sleeping for over 7hrs. :(

My battery was calibrated using Luca's method, I'm on wifi at home and on data outside. I was already playing with the idea of problems with broadband files, but never had to change it since I guess it's more or less the same throughout Europe? Must I use some other broadband? Sometimes I indeed have trouble with broken calls on 3G, all is fine on 2g, but never had this issue before 2.7 - anything changed then? I came to 2.7 from 2.5.

My GPS was not running during the last few days, at least not much.

About k9 mail, I'm having problems with it with my Exchange acc (doesn't authenticate), gotta figure out this first... but thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Luca:

Your Sense theme will be ready for 2.8.0 this week?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
•	Open up the Minitool Partition wizard and make sure you run the commands on your sdcard ( very very very important if you don’t want to lose data on your PC).

wht does this mean --> run the commands on ur sd card

and i dnt have to install apps2ext update zip rite since im running froyomod2.8b ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Meaning make sure you partition your sdcard not your hard drive. Once ext partition is created, apps2ext works on its own.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
all my apps r on the phone as of nw , do i have to transfer them to sd card before doin this process ?

n wht to do after doin this ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Create ext partition and reboot. All apps in your data partition move to ext partition automatically.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
please, need to know :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Not sure about the contacts.apk (phone.apk goes out too), but you can delete mms.apk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Ok, tested...

permant FC after deleting phone.apk -.-

So, now I need to flash everything again!

Thanks :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
What do you mean permanent FC? Have you tried pushing your apps to /system/app?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
I deleted phone.apk and after that the forced close window popped up... all the time...

Flashed FM again, hope I dont have to do everything again...

No, I didnt push them in the system folder, I dont have the apk from GO products.

I guessed it would be ok installing them via market and deleting the stock apk's...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
If you have an ext partition, you can find the apk's. Without it, possibly in /data/app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
I said NOT SURE about phone...

And do nandroid backups before touching anything in /system...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Not sure if you purposely did it, but the them seems to have Honeycomb slider parts (you know, blue parts). Was this done on purpose? Nevertheless, I still love the default Gingy look. Thanks sileshn. (Imma try the >100% charge tomorrow.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Hi there, sorry to disturb but I missed an important call today.

Only thing I saw was that I missed it.

I really held the phone in hand and it didn't vibrate or anything.

I did switch through the settings after boot though, multiple times!

Really bad stuff... How to solve this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I fixed that bug with my set of bug fixes for Gingerbread, I believe I posted it earlier yesterday or the day before.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
When is the next release coming?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
For like 4-5 days luca is coming back with bugfixes. 2.8.1... 2.9.0, who knows, 15-30 days unprecise :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
I read somewhere 2-3 days and that was 2 days ago?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
He said that he would probably release an update sometime next week. That was last week, so I'm thinking end of the week is a possible date.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
What is luca's method for calibrating battery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Draining the battery all the way to less than 5% (but not 1%, the phone still needs to boot) and then you select the calibrate battery option in FroyoMOD Extra Settings. The phone will reboot itself and then you charge it right away via USB plugged into your computer until it's full.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Does it have to be computer? On 12% now and I wanna go on it while in bed :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
He says that it charges more fully via computer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Calibrate it tomorrow :).

This is the 3rd GB Theme that I've downloaded for 2.8.0b now. lol. I am guessing this is the perfect one though. Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Let me know if there are any issues, I'll see what I can do to fix them!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The first one was for 2.8.0. The next one I posted because I didn't realise that skadude has posted the full theme. I thought it was only the bugfix.

I need to get a seperate thread for all my themes for different roms.

You can use skaddudes bugfix version.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I hope someone does fix the phone problem, have missed an call today, even though I did cycle through the settings after reboot. Phone never rang, neither vibrated. That sucks, do not want to need to go back to 2.7 or 2.5 ~.~'.

after using the phone for a day .. 2 hrs call time .. no wifi no 3g .. gmail sync only .. 10 mins of whatsapp .. my battery did drain a lot .. down to 15% .. less than a day actually .. 9hrs hrs since full charge and then when i slept for abt 7 hrs ..

isnt tht too much battery drain ???

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Have u tried scrolling up and down the Settings menu? From my past experiences with previous Miui, the lag was pretty bad when scrolling up and down setting menus.

You can feel the difference in the lag immediately when u come from other CM based roms.

Then you are doing something wrong as i ( and many others ) are having a much longer battery live then ever before.

Check if you don't have something running all the time.

Check Sync, gps and wifi.

Damnit this is great!

Only thing bugging me in the new release are the really buggy movable notification tiles :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MakeW00t:
This is allready a great rom but i can't stop hoping that luca could do something to make it snappier and faster!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
You are right, but what he did is already near to the miracle.. FM flies compared to other ROMs!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
1 work day in, and I must say that the theme is perfect.

I noticed that the icons for usb and headset were all corrected as well.

Of course, thanks to sileshn for providing the original canvas for this GB theme. Those little numbers in the batt icon are neat too!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Tell me that battery is not bad.

Precisely, display was on for 1h40min. Battery is good in idle(from 7:20am to 1:30pm only 3%), but 40% in 1h40min... Youtube caused most of it, but on 2.7 with this usage I'd lost 20% @ the same time.

And no overheat for me, battery is perfectly cold, mostly 32C.

Now 4:30pm and I'm on 58%, phone was idle.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
What is media server? Yesterday it used up 20% of battery...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Music, I think.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bogddy87:
i'm realy impressed about battery life with this ROM. I've unpluged from charging my Milestone from yesterday at 7:00AM and now, when i'm posting i still have 44% battery :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
How you did that font mate?can you share it please?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
That battery life seems to be not too bad. I get around 11-12 hours when I'm at 60%.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Download Custom Font Switcher on the market, wait for it to load all the fonts (A-Z) and set SonySketch for your font. Phone will reboot btw.

Yes but how's your usage?

If you didn't read it good, I lost 40% in less than 2 hours :wtf:? I used to lose 15-20% in 2 hours, and I could get 6h with med-high usage :/.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Its good in idle and bad with usage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
After 2 hours I lose about 1% in idle.. but watchin youtube, after 2 hours my phone shutdown! And I did calibration.. So in my opinion it is not bad!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Last night I plugged my phone in at 30%, after 15 hours on battery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yup, but usage? Probably minimal. I can have that battery life too, but Youtube drains it like **** xD.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Nope, mostly lvl1(10%)... well, in normal usage it could hold full day for me(sms,browser and some game), thing that bothers me is YT draining it so hard. Maybe just a dejavu lol. I'm still not used to this 1% xD.

hey luca, any news on the 2.8.1 bugfix release? thank you so much!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Haha one day with miui and I'm coming back to FM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Why? What's wrong with miui?

I'm also experiencing battery draining issues with 2.8.0b. As someone mentioned, I'm holding up really well on standby, but the moment I use it, the 1% increment will start looking like a countdown timer. lol.

I have a hunch that it's because of the new vsel in the OC. (All previous versions max out the vsel at 60. 2.8.0 onwards maxes it out at 64.)

I am now flashing my custom 10overclock of 950MHz @ 60vsel. I'll see if this helps.

Battery status unknown can cannot charge on 2.8.0b

no problem with 2.7 but after upgrade to 2.8.0b, one of my third party brand(replacement) battery cannot charge up and show "unknown" on battery status. The original Moto battery do not have problem.

Is that because of the 1% step battery? Can I disable that patch?

Thanks,

That happens to me too.. I also think it's caused by 1% battery, maybe it requires a special control that is not present in faked battery?

No no it happened only after i upgraded to 2.8.0, i'll try flashing another one, but i don't want to leave the froyomod, for me it's the best rom out there.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] smallerstone:
Cannot show the battery status if use the third party battery (not Motorola official) when upgrade to 2.8.0b.

Also the system response speed is slower after upgrade.

Therefore I downgrade to 2.7.0 since the battery status can show in this version. :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Yeaaah I did and your battery life ain't exactly great...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eighty3:
About the battery status: it seems to be the ability to display 1% steps for battery life, implemented in versin 2.8.0. of TheFroyoMod and some third party batteries are not capable of this. But as far as i can remember, luca mentioned to make it choosable, to show 1% steppings or the old version from 2.7.0, which were 10% steppings.

About system response: i find it even more responsive, but this could be my personal experience as we all know, and so it could also be your very own experience with the new build.
